TIME IS SHORT. DRAW CLOSE. REACH THE LOST.

Time is short before judgment and war comes to America (https://tinyurl.com/judgmentwar), and it will be a time of great distress such as never been, nor will be again. So it important for us to do three things:


1) Draw close to the Lord and spend time with Him in your secret place, in prayer and in His Word. In the chaotic times to come, it will be critical for us to know His still, small voice, so we can hear Him as He guides and protects us through the chaos. If we do not spend time with Him, we will have nothing special – nothing supernatural – to share with others in their time of need.

2) Commune with other believers in worship and prayer, so that we may minister to them and they can minister to us. A primary way for this to happen is through a local church. But it must be a Bible-believing church that holds up Jesus Christ as Savior above all else. This is described here: https://lifeinthespirit.net/2024/12/03/25-signs-of-a-healthy-church/

3) Reach out to the lost. Many, many people don’t know our Lord. They may know about Him, but they don’t know Him and His still, small voice that gives guidance and peace. They will be lost as cataclysmic events unfold and their lives are shaken to the core. So reach out to them with the truth and love of Christ, for life is short, eternity is a very long time, and we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

To God be the glory

Encouragement From the Word of God

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.     Isaiah 55:6-7

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust…  Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.     Psalm 91: 1-2, 9-11

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.  Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.  Because you have made the Lord, who  is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.     Psalm 91:7-11

Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.  Behold, I come quickly!  Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.  He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more.  And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My god.  And I will write on him My new name.     Revelation 3:10-12
