Trust in the Lord – Life in the Spirit

Welcome to the Life in the Spirit Blog

The purpose of the Life in the Spirit blog is to prepare Christians and non-Christians for major events that will take place in the U.S. in 2020 and 2021. A “Global Reset” has begun – a reinvention of our political, economic, financial, and religious systems in the United States and in the world. This will bring in a New World Order, prophesied in the Bible as a one world government, one world economy, and one world religion, controlled by Satan and his minions, including the Anti-Christ and false prophet. The coronavirus pandemic, the punishing economic shutdowns, the engineered riots and the violent left-wing mobs running loose in America’s cities are all part of the global reset.

And this is just the beginning; look for a vaccine and chip to be rolled out soon. They are already rolling out the chip in Sweden, with thousands of people chipped. They even have chipping parties, where people celebrate getting the chip. (Shows what happens when a nation abandons God).

A glimpse into the future for Christians: in spite of many challenges and even persecution, the Lord promises to watch over us, guide us, and protect us during these times. Jesus promised that Christians led by the Holy Spirit can do the works that He did and even more. But it requires us to seek the Lord with all of our heart, mind, and soul, and resist taking the vaccine and chip that is coming our way. We can experience the joy of the Lord, in spite of circumstances, until the Lord takes us home.

A glimpse into the future for non-Christians: perhaps you enjoy your life and lifestyle in the world and don’t want to give it up, or are attracted to other religious beliefs. If you persist in resisting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you most likely take the vaccine and chip. These which will alter your consciousness and DNA forever, and you will end up in the lake of fire. All of which is a good reason to seek out the Lord Jesus Christ; your eternal destiny is at stake.

So how can we cope with these tumultuous events that are beginning to take place that threaten our freedoms, our livelihoods, and our very lives? The Word of God provides direction and comfort for Christians in this time. (If you are not a Christian, repent of your sins, cry out to Jesus Christ, and He will save you). The Word reveals that God will direct our paths if we seek Him with our whole hearts:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye. Psalm 32:8

The tumultuous events happening every day raise the question – where is safety and security in this time of chaos? The Word of God tells us that the safest place to be is in the center of God’s will for your life – to live Life in the Spirit. You can learn more about life in the Spirit here: https://lifeinthespirit.net/2020/07/31/life-in-the-spirit/.

The Bible, God’s instruction manual, tells us that the Holy Spirit communicates with His people – the true church, during the church age. Therefore, we shouldn’t be surprised that the Lord has raised up watchmen and women to warn us about the times we are in, the judgement coming to America, and to encourage us to draw close to Him. These are humble servants of God who quote scripture often and tell us how these scriptures are and will be fulfilled. Most are not famous, do not seek fame, and do not ask for money. As always, we are to test the spirits (and everything we hear or say) against the Word of God, which is our standard. This Life in the Spirit blog will feature several of these people, with occasional articles that address physical and financial preparation.

So the purpose of the Life in the Spirit blog is to prepare Christians and non- Christians for major events that will take place in the U.S. in 2020 and 2021. This will include regular updates from myself and fellow believers about how we can and should live in this time, as well as valuable tools that you can use in your walk with the Lord: incredible stories, articles, resources, letters that address important issues, and action steps you can take: https://lifeinthespirit.net/category/action-steps-you-can-take.

In these end times, we will see exciting things happen in the body of Christ as the Lord guides and directs His people to shine the light of Christ on an endarkened world. He has set us free from sin and the fear of death, and invites us to join Him in a great spiritual journey – here and into eternity. He will take some of us home, He will lead some of us into the wilderness, and He will be with some of us in the fire. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

He who has ears, let him hear! Matthew 11:15

To God be the glory

Action Steps You Can Take Today

The changes underway in the United States and the world are profound, with far-reaching effects on each of our lives. Not preparing can have drastic consequences, as described in this article: www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/some-of-the-really-bad-things-that-could-happen-if-you-do-not-prepare-for-the-coming-economic-collapse_09062012. So it is important to prepare on several dimensions:

1) Prepare financially

The Federal Reserve has been printing money like crazy to purchase all kinds of debt and keep our economy afloat. Historically, this kind of rampant money printing typically leads to hyperinflation. If/when hyperinflation hits, it would decimate cash, CDs, insurance, annuities, and other cash-related financial instruments. Stocks and bonds would also suffer. When the purchasing power of cash crashes, value can only be found in things (food, water, toilet paper, precious metals, real estate, personal protection, commodities, etc.).

Debts are effectively reduced by devaluing the currency, which is one of the reasons that governments do it. Inflation is a hidden tax that saps the purchasing power of citizens, for the benefit of those who run the presses (the Fed and federal government). So the danger is not that the government will stop government programs like Social Security. The danger is that the money you receive will have little purchasing power.

Action Steps:

Take a fresh look at your assets in light of the above discussion.
Allocate at least of a portion of your assets into precious metals related assets – physical bullion in your possession, such as junk silver coins (pre-1965 U.S. coins), bullion in off-site depositories, and precious metals equities (mining companies).

2) Prepare with physical preparations

Physical preparation is also important – food, water, etc. Remember how Joseph stored up food in Egypt for seven years, in preparation for lean years, and Noah stored provisions in the ark. And remember how many people struggled with the recent COVID-19 lockdown.

Articles:

Action Steps:

List your assets for physical survival and what you need to acquire.
Assess your ability to survive in case stores close or the grid shuts down.
Create a plan, and take action.

3) Consider your location

The riots that several cities have been recently experiencing highlight the vulnerability of living in high density areas when there is serious social unrest, power outages, or pandemics.

Action Steps:

Is your present location safe?
Would it be safe with massive social unrest and riots?
Do you have a bug out bag ready, and do you know where you would go if you had to leave your home?
Develop a plan and start to implement it.

4) Become Prepared Spiritually

Spiritual preparation is most important because none of us is guaranteed tomorrow. So getting right with God and seeking His guidance, His will, and His protection is imperative. If we place our faith and hope in our finances and physical preparation, we will be disappointed, for we do not control what is happening to our nation and the world. If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, now is the time to do so by confessing your sins and accepting Him as Lord and Savior.

The Word of God promises that the Lord will guide us if we seek Him with our whole heart:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Furthermore, the safest place in the world is in the center of God’s will:

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

Action Steps:

If you don’t know the Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, confess your sins and accept Him as your savior.
Spend time with the Lord every day, reading the Word, confessing your sin, and seeking to be in His presence.
Join a Bible-believing church or another group of believers that you can meet with on a regular basis.
If you have disagreements or broken relationships, seek them out and become reconciled. You don’t want to have unconfessed sin in your heart when you stand before the Lord (and we all will).
Learn to recognize the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit, seek the Lord’s will for your life, and be obedient in following His leading.

Life is short. God is great. Walk with the Lord.

Motto for Walking with the Lord – STRIPES

“By His stripes we are healed…” Isaiah 53:5

S – Seek the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul, leading to total surrender to His will; become a “hundred percenter” – 100% for the Lord.

T – ”Trust in the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6

R – Relationships are critical – with the Lord and with those around us.

I – Integrity is imperative; with integrity, we recognize the dignity of others, and retain our own.

P – Playmaker – be a playmaker in other people’s lives; seek to be a vehicle for the Lord’s love, joy, and power. I am the glove; He is the hand (the hand of the Lord).

E – Expect God to do incredible things through you.

S – Share God’s love with everyone who comes across your path.
