Sun rays on a cloudy day
Bright stars on a dark night
Fresh water in a fierce storm
Cool breeze when the sun’s warm

Birds singing as the waves crash
Clouds part as the fog blocks
Moon shining through a cool mist
Seems that but is it this?

How see when you look at that?
Bright stars or a dark night?
Fresh water or a fierce storm?
Cool breeze or the sun’s warm?

Circumstances can be that
While attitudes are this
What we make of life on earth
Will give us death or birth

Not saying to ignore bad
Choose to see only good
Saying that when we see grave
See good, for that will save

For Jesus said he’ll bring good
Out of what will seem bad
So we must will to see good
Not let bad destroy mood

Distant trumpets sound loud and clear
Prepare yourself for the King is near
But few who hear will give them heed
Until it's too late to kneel at His feet

You, the liar, the drunk, the thief
You, who turns from a man in need
And you who hates by the color of skin
His trumpets still sound again and again

You, lusting for another mans wife
You, who has taken the unborn's life
And you whose lips speak words unkind
His trumpets warn but you still have time

Choose you this day it has been said
By Jesus or Satan you will be led
To glory or fire we all are bound
Prepare yourself while His trumpets still sound

March 2009- Given by the Spirit to be shared but never claimed. All praise and glory belong to Him.

Good word. Thank you for sharing.

Zeal for Your house, it consumes me.
Lord, I love my times with You.
I love to worship You and sing Your praises.
Time in Your Word brings me closer to You,
List’ning to You speaking to me,
Gently guiding me in truth.

Lord, You are my life’s example,
Showing me how I should live.
I love to walk with You where’er You lead me.
No greater joy have I when serving You.
Loving, giving, resting in Your strength,
I’m yielding to Your will.

Zeal for Your house, it consumes me.
See the church turned upside down:
Marketing ventures taking place of worship,
Men of the gospel turning into clowns.
Gospel message made appealing,
So the world will feel at home.

Lord, we need a great revival.
Turn their hearts, Lord, back to You.
Open the blind eyes, turn them all from darkness,
Lord, to the light. May they return to You,
Turn from their sin, forsake idols,
Be restored to God again.

Preparations For The Sacrifice

Exodus 12:
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man’s need you shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
6 Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.

The lamb is kept at home for the interval to make him precious to the children, because the Memorial is for the generation following.
14 So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. KJV
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, Pick out(?) and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover. NKJV

‘Picked out’=Ma-sak [4900] draw, to be drawn(out)

Genesis 49:28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

The Observance, and the Children of Israel
The modern translation of masak; ‘pick out’ disguises this most profound truth. The Lord was preparing the people to draw near to Him at Sinai. The lamb would be removed from the flock and led home by a short cord, and tied to a stake.
Now consider the impact of tying a baby lamb in the yard on the young ones; (Of course, older children would become more and more familiar). That lamb would become precious to them, so that when they saw him served on a table (for the lamb was roasted whole, without a bone broken), they would be anguished by the sight! Now, consider the emotions that would arise in the youngest of the children. “What have you done to baby lambsy??

Exodus 12:
26 And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ 27 that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’ ” So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.

For all the saints, the Lamb of God is the precious child of God, Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 2:6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes in Him will by no means be put to shame.” 7 Therefore, to you who believe precious; but to those who are disobedient, The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,

Only the Gospel of John makes this distinction
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

The Passover Lamb, as one of the first year, denotes the child, not just a servant
Acts 4:24-30 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. And now, Lord, behold their threats: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

I stumbled upon this article about Marco dated March 2024.
(I always say, 'it doesn't hurt to have friends in high places!')

Sen. Marco Rubio Demands Biden Protect Catholic Churches From Attacks

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio from Florida is demanding that President Joe Biden protect Catholic churches from the “growing number of attacks” levied against them since the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

In a March 5 letter addressed to the nation’s second Catholic president, Rubio cited a CatholicVote tracker that found more than 400 attacks against Catholic churches since May 2020. The tracker, which was last updated on March 5, lists numerous examples of property damage, which include arson, statue destruction, rocks, and bricks being thrown through windows, and the spray painting of satanic messages.

“These attacks are not random nor are they the result of a temporary lapse in judgment by perpetrators,” Rubio, who is Catholic, wrote. “They are motivated by a deep and abiding animosity towards religious institutions and people of faith.”

The senator noted the examples of recent attacks in New York, in which a woman set fire to a statue of the Virgin Mary, a person beheaded a statue of the baby Jesus, and an individual cut off the hands on a statue of Christ.

The Power of the Cross is in the evangelistic message to the lost, and the beginning of our faith
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

1 Peter 1:8-10 Whom have not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

The Power of the Resurrection enables the victorious life of the Saints
Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death, If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

The Cross and the Resurrection work hand in hand, every day, over and over.
1 Corinthians 4:11-14 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you. And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.

1 Corinthians 15:31 I affirm by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

This is why our fellowship always begins with this Remembrance:
1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he comes.

Breaking bread together is an act of obedience that manifests the Life of Christ in us under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit upon us.

The Power of the Ascension to the Right Hand of the Father establishes the new priesthood in the order of Melchizedek, and enables the Saints to minister unto the Lord and receive His intercessions.
Psalm 110:1 The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,until I make Your enemies Your footstool.
4 The Lord has sworn and will not relent,
“You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 7:
11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.
17 For He testifies:
“You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

The next privileged act of obedience is to draw near to His Presence
Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

1 Thessalonians 1:
9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you,
and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead,
even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

The Lord has taught us in this manner:
John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

This shows that the Kingdom is attained by our entering in, not simply stating words without power.
1 Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

Our entering into the everlasting kingdom is found in Christ, the One True House of God.
Hebrews 3:4-6 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken, but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

Ah, that dreaded ‘if’ word! Now try doing this without exercising your free will.
Hebrews 10:19-23 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Our entering into the everlasting kingdom requires our diligence.
2 Peter 1:10,11 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Saints are immediately called into fellowship:
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

It is in this fellowship that the leaders and elders guide the newly birthed saint into the operation of the Spiritual Gifts,
and the knowledge of their election by which they will show themselves faithful, or not.

Okay I agree. But do you think satan is never involved in getting people to sin? He is called a tempter. And when we are tempted it's not always clear cut. Sometimes there is grey confusion areas

Involuntary Physical / Emotional Feelings and Thoughts are The Fiery Darts from the wicked one and demons in Ephesians 6:16.

“above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”

- Ephesians 6:16

That's why we need to put on The Spiritual Armor of God and ask The Lord to put it on Us Christians.

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints"

- Ephesians 6:10-18

Ephesians 6 - The Full Armor of God

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the...

Not anymore.

Proverbs 16:

33 The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the Lord.

Saul was chosen as king by casting lot (1 Samuel 10:20-21).

The last casting of lots in the Bible happened in Acts 1:

26 they cast lots, and Matthias was selected to become an apostle with the other eleven.

As a result, Matthias replaced Judas, the betrayer. Immediately after that, the Holy Spirit appeared at Pentecost in Acts 2:

1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Believers were filled with the Spirit.

Jesus promised the Paraclete in John 14:

26 the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Casting lots is no longer necessary, Acts 13:

2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

In Kenya, on the edge of the legendary Tsavo National Park, African honey bees contentedly buzz about near rows of well-tended crops.

It’s a scene that’s becoming more common in these rural areas and is driven by an extreme need: to deter elephants from encroaching on farmlands, eating crops, and destroying homes.

“The beehive fences came to our rescue,” said Kenyan farmer Charity Mwangome “We used to hate elephants a lot.”

Continued below.

I am now walking through my entire building praying for the other tenants every day, every morning I go down the stairwell to each floor and then I pray through quietly and also pray in tongues quietly so no one hears me. Some of the other floors have an extremely evil presence but it gets less after I pray through! I pray for the salvation and good health of all tenants and for the evil presence on the floors to go!

We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us
