Miracles!

Mark 16: 17 & 20 “These signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name…They will be able to place their hands on the sick and heal them.” And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked with them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.”

Do you know that the Lord Jesus wants you to live in the place where signs, wonders and miracles are as natural to you as breathing? In the Scripture listed above, as well as many others, He simply qualifies any Believer who believes in His Name as the one who will live with signs following themselves. When we consider the Word of God, miracles should be part of our every day experience. The Power of God should be flowing freely in and through our lives, not just on occasion!

You are part Diety. You are part Divine! Don’t suck all the oxygen out of the room, stop and consider what the Word of God says. “Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?” John 10:34 “And by that same mighty power, he has given us all of his rich and wonderful promises. He has promised that you will escape the decadence all around you caused by evil desires and that you will share in his divine nature.” 2 Peter 1:4

Consider David laying on his back in the hill country gazing up into the heavens and experiencing this revelation from the Spirit of God. “When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you have set in place—what are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us? For you made us only a little lower than God, and you crowned us with glory and honor. You put us in charge of everything you made, giving us authority over all things…” Psalm 8:3-6

That thinking takes my breath away! That, however, is exploding with truth! Revelation 5:10 “And has made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” What kind of religious excuses can we make to avoid having to deal with THIS Truth!

I am not saying that you are God! There is only one God, BUT you were created in the image and likeness of God and you are His Offspring. Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…and over all the earth…” Acts 17:28 “For in him we live, and move, and have our being…For we are also his offspring.”

Miracles are natural to God. They appear supernatural to us, but now we are living in the realm of the supernatural, therefore miracles should be a natural part of our lives. A miracle happens by supernatural means and that means now abides in you! Acts 1:8 “But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power to testify about me with great effect…” Herein lies the secret to Church growth for the next twenty years or so, or until Jesus returns. Church growth will come as a direct result of a Holy Church walking in loving obedience and intimacy with Christ, resulting in the manifestations of the miraculous in the Body of Christ!

Walking Holy enables us to abide in Jesus and experience the miraculous. John 15:7-8 “But if you stay in me and obey my commands, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted! My true disciples produce bountiful harvests. This brings great glory to my Father.” The world is hungry to see the Power of God, and they will on a magnanimous scale. The Church---You and I---will release these through the Power of the holy Spirit within us and the Name of Jesus!

Miracles are Powerful tools in the Kingdom of God! “But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever…So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her…At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. And the whole city was gathered together at the door.” Mark 1:30-33 Because Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law of a simple fever, the entire town gathered at the door.

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit has happened, the Gifts are resident within each of us, (maybe dormant, but they’re in there!) and healings are running rampant all over the world. We will have a revival of miracles like the world has never seen. The book of Acts will come alive right here in our midst! MIRACLES ARE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW!

If you want to see something you’ve never seen before, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done before! Here’s my suggestion!
1) Connect with Jesus constantly.
2) Commit to walk Holy before Him.
3) Listen to His voice and obey His every directive.
4) Give Him the glory!

“The truth is, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.” John 14:12

Let me hear about the miracles in your life!

SHAKEN IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD!

Isaiah 19: 1 “…Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud, And will come into Egypt; The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence, And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.”

In Old Testament symbolism, Egypt refers to those people of the world, who do not belong to the Kingdom of God and are lost without Him. This Scripture tells us that the Presence of God is the chief factor necessary to shake those things in the lives of unbelievers (believers too) that prevent them from entering into the Family of God. When the Lord begins to shake the worldly foundations around someone; their lives begin to teeter and the temporary things of this world commence to fail them. The Presence of the Lord will melt their hearts!

The Word declares that their hearts will “melt in its midst” referring to the presence of God. Now let’s get real for a moment. Where is the Presence God today? The Bible declares in Acts 2:17 that “…it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh…” Read it again! “..I will pour out of My Spirit…” Where is His Spirit? He lives within each Born Again Believer. 1Corinthians 3:16 “…you are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you…”

In the Bible we can clearly see the lives of men and women reflecting the Presence of God in their day to day decisions and lives.
Joseph ran from Potiphar’s wife.
Moses abandoned the House of pharaoh to identify with the afflicted people of God.
Elijah boldly challenged the prophets of baal.
Paul and Silas sang praises in the dark dungeon and shook its foundations.

Each of these expressions of the Presence of the Lord came as a direct result of relationship with Him. Their claim to know Jesus made a difference in their lives. They knew Him because they spent time with Him. Does the claim to know Jesus make a difference in your every day living? Your time…your money…your energy…your values…in what happens Monday through Saturday?

Does the faith you proclaim make a difference with members of the opposite sex? What do they see when we experience pain or disappointment? When the chips are down, does the unbeliever see an attitude in our lives that he would like to possess? Does he want what you have?

What about your relationship with God? Do you respect Him and treat Him as a living vital person in your everyday living? Do you have that heart hunger and thirst that compels you into the presence of God everyday in order to get away with him and talk to Him? Does your heart yearn to feast on His Word? Forgive me if I’m stepping on your toes, but don’t you want to really experience the Presence of God and stop pretending? No one really enjoys faking it!

Many of us talk about the sweetness and power of the Presence of God, but we avoid it like the plague! Be honest…was it today…or yesterday…perhaps a week ago…or a month…a year?

If you want to walk in power and authority…to have your prayers answered from heaven..then those things which prevent the flow must be shaken and there is only one way… “…Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel, So that…all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.” Ezekiel 38:19-20

In His Presence, those things which hinder the release of the Presence of God into others lives will be shaken and “shall fall!”

YOU MAY DIE UNSAVED…
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DIE UNLOVED!

Do You REALLY Care?

Acts 1:8 “After the Holy Ghost has come upon you, you shall receive power to witness…”

I firmly believe that technology is the new basis for the religion of today. The green movement, global warming (some are also espousing a global cooling tendency), microbiology, cloning, etc.. However the same sad results are now in, with mankind even more dissatisfied and empty then ever before, without any hope of salvation.

One of the co-conspirators of Sigmond Freud, Carl Jung summarized his entire life’s work while laying on his death bed in words similar to these. “The central neurosis of our time is emptiness, and there is nothing we are able to do about it!” Technology is still not able to rescue us from hopelessness, being lost and despair. You can have access to all of the latest gadgetry and applications on your cell phone, but the fact remains that you are becoming even more isolated and disconnected, therefore you become more meaningless. These continue to characterize our entire generation. Everyone still continues to search for some meaning to this life!

A large majority of people still experience a deep desire or need for some sort of religious faith in order to conjure up some kind of meaning to their life experiences. People recognize the deep vacuum within their lives. The question that remains for us as Christians is “How can we show others that Jesus is the Way and the truth?”

Recognize that people are looking for that something which is REAL! Whatever we, as Christians, are offering them, it must be real enough to stimulate and sustain their attention. People are sick of phony solutions and even more, phony people. They are no longer going to be fooled by religious people who can not provide real answers for the real problems they are dealing with in this world.

When Jesus was in the midst of a lost, desperate and hungry people, He fed them REAL food. When He was faced with sickness and disease, He provided a genuine REAL healing for them, spirit, soul and body! If their minds were tormented, He delivered them from torment. He did not help them co-exist with their torments, He delivered them with REAL comfort!

Jesus knows how to deal with the new generation of “cutters” (the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue without suicidal intent.) Mark 5:2-5 “And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

Jesus did not attempt to make the person feel better about themselves, or to build up their self esteem, He simply dealt with the core issue and healed them in a REAL and tangeable way! Mark 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Jesus knew the condition of the people who were around Him. We too must begin to recognize the condition of those in our own immediate circle of influence. We must pray and get the mind of the Lord concerning their needs. “Open our eyes Lord!” We must recognize their needs, that they are tired, weary, bored, lonely, mistreated, rejected, abused, guilty, anxious, depressed, lonely and hopeless!

WHEN THEY KNOW THAT YOU REALLY CARE, THEN THEY WILL REALLY CARE ABOUT WHAT AND WHO (Jesus) YOU KNOW!

Who is watching your lifestyle today? Who desperately needs to see the character of Jesus reflected in your day to day living? Who needs to experience the REAL power of the Acts 1:8 experience upon and in your life?

Remember unless you are walking in loving obedience with Jesus, the Power will not flow out of your life and they will remain empty and hopeless. That’s even more motivation to walk righteous!

Unbelievers are very carefully examing the Church, to see if we have REALLY discoverd the TRUTH!

JESUS IS COMING!

Isa 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”

We don’t have four hundred years or more until Jesus returns! His return is at hand. Jesus said no man knows the time, but we can know the seasons. I know the season and if you will take a moment and reflect on the times, you will recognize the season! In the year 1948 the “fig tree” nation of Israel was reborn. The Bible says the generation that sees this transpire will see the Day of the Lord.

Jesus said that there would be a period of “darkness…gross darkness…” The Hebrew word literally means darkness, misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness. Every day 5000 babies are murdered and our youth are being slaughtered in our schools and communities. Divorce is at an all time high and same sex marriage is acceptable. Fathers have abandoned their wives and children. Evolutionists lie concerning their philosophy and Creationism can’t even be taught. (It’s easier for me to believe in Creation than it is in evolution.)

Drugs and prostitution are out of control and homosexuality is an acceptable sin in the world wide community. God has been kicked out of our classrooms, courthouses and even our government. Even now the national day of prayer is being challenged because it is a Godless government sanctioned event. The White House has become a joke wrapped in immorality, trickery and deceit, no matter what party occupies the throne.

Israel has been re-established as a Nation and Jerusalem is her Capital city. Russia controls all the Northern African nations, and is intimately entwined with the Islamic nations who are bent on the total destruction of Israel. All of these nations are funded and equipped, as prophesied. Red China now has an Army of 200 million men capable of marching at any moment against Jerusalem.

The United States has begun to lose her influence over the world due to a lack of strong Godly leadership (also prayer by the Church) with integrity and backbone. Palestine wants part of Jerusalem back. President Obama and Hillary both say “Yes.” The United Nations has passed measures in favor of giving up part of the Capital City. The Bible says “it is not going to happen.”

Religions are now headed toward a one world ecumenical church, where any way to God is acceptable and sin is no longer deemed sin. It’s Ok unless you hurt someone. (Sin always hurts someone!) The world is fearful of Nuclear holocaust and rightfully so, with terrorist organizations most likely already connected with a reliable source of nuclear capability. This fear is that which sets the stage for a Global Community Leader…the Antichrist.

We are the “Fig Tree” generation and Jesus is coming! We are in the days of His return. The “Day of the Lord” is at hand! You may go to church to do your religious thing, get your weekly fix or to fulfill your obligation, but it is time to kick religion out of your life! These are the days. We are in urgent times and His return is imminent. If your loved ones have died in Christ, it will not be another hundred years before you see them again.

Jerusalem, the one last piece of the puzzle is in place, and there are no other prophecies that need to be fulfilled before the rapture of the Church and the unrolling of the Scroll containing the seven seals. I’ve got news for each of you. In the relative scheme of things, just a few short days from now, (I believe in our lifetime) “the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

The Truth is that Jesus is returning again and he is coming soon. The question is, “Are you ready for His return?” He is coming to gather His Church right before all hell breaks loose on this earth. Is He the Savior and LORD over your life? Matthew 7:21-23 “Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name have cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.”

I implore you today to get ready, get real and get moving! Give up and get up; start moving in loving obedience, running with the Spirit of God! Put God and the affairs of His Kingdom, first and begin. This is not a game! This is not Churchianity …it is Christianity! Once you are ready, THEN we begin to influence those whose paths we cross and those we love. You do not want to have anyone your know left behind to experience the tribulation!

On the next Blog, join with me as we continue to explore all that will happen when Jesus takes His Church out of this world!

CALVARY'S INCREDIBLE EXCHANGE

Galatians 3:13 “…Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”

Just about any Christian can recount to you the story at Calvary’s Cross. Jesus, the Son of God crucified between two thieves. Both God and man view the scene as the perfect, unblemished Lamb of God surrounded by two men covered in the filth and horror of sin. But here is where the similarities end. Whereas man sees the horror of their bloodied bodies, God grieves over the darkness surrounding their hearts. The Father weeps over the conditions of their souls. These two thieves were headed towards hell because of unresolved sin in their lives.

They displayed hostility, resistance and defiance toward God even in their final moments. But hanging between them is a totally righteous man without sin. Hebrews 4:15 “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” One of the thieves reads the sign “King of the Jews”. He hears Jesus asking forgiveness for those who are killing Him. There is something about Jesus that persuades the thief that he hangs in the presence of a real King.

The other thief lashes out in his pain mockingly. “Aren’t you the Christ? Then save yourself and us.” Luke 23:39 The hardness of his heart is disturbing.

In the midst of all the people who abandoned Jesus, (Peter and the Disciples) the accusations of the Jews, and the cruel treatment rendered by the Roman soldiers, someone at last speaks out to stand up for Jesus. Luke 23:40-41 “…the other criminal protested. “Don’t you even fear God when you are dying? We deserve to die for our evil deeds, but this man hasn’t done one thing wrong.” Jesus in His agony responded with these words. “Today you will be with Me in Paradise. This is a solemn promise.” All of heaven was frozen in a moment of time. This was not right. How could a miserable, dark hearted thief possibly go to Heaven?

Suddenly, in response to the voice of Jesus all of the darkness, misery and sin began to lift off of this thief and worked it’s way over until it came to rest on Jesus. Simultaneously, the Righteousness of God began to lift off of Jesus and covers the dying thief. His unclean garments are replaced by a robe of Righteousness and his soul commences to shine with the presence of the Holy Spirit. All of his sins are forgiven and wiped from God’s remembrance. Hebrews 8:12 “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”

God’s plan began to unfold before all of heaven and earth. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 2:8 that no one knew, even the powers of darkness, His Master Plan. “…none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” Being a Just God, His only choice when He sees sin is either to punish the sin or to pay the price on His own. Galatians 3:13 “…Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”

God loves us so much that “…He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“It was our weakness He carried. It was our sorrows that weighed Him down. We thought His troubles were a punishment from God for His own sins. But He was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped and we were healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5

Like the thief at Calvary; when no one is standing up for Jesus; when it’s not popular to proclaim His Lordship or even to speak His Name; when the world is doing all it can to stamp out the event at Calvary’s Cross; let’s commit this day to tell others of His goodness, His mercy and grace.

I will not be silent! I will live a Holy life by His ability within! I will allow His Holy Spirit to flow through my life! I will pray openly, boldly and unashamedly! I will testify of what He has done for me! The more they mock, the bolder I’ll become! The tougher it gets, the brighter I’ll shine! I will exert my God given authority over demonic influences! I will heal the sick! I will praise Him openly! I will respond in loving obedience! I will worship him with my life!

How about you?

GOD CAN'T USE ME!

The next time you feel like GOD can't use YOU, just remember...

Noah was a drunk.
Abraham was too old.
Isaac was a daydreamer.

Thanks to Elaine O. for sending this my way!

WHAT DO THEY SEE?

A friend of mine, who recently opened the door to a personal relationship with Jesus, wrote of an experience she had as a young lady in High School with a teacher who was supposed to be a Christian. She had been physically and emotionally abused by this teacher, who was somehow able to turn the tables on this young lady, and have her thrown out of school. I’m sure that my friend had something to do with the behavior, but she did not do anything to warrant the physical mistreatment she received, ending up with pretty serious bruises on her face, as the teacher squeezed so hard to "catch her attention."

She didn’t know it, but through this experience with someone who professed to be a “Christian” and didn’t live the Christian lifestyle, her view of God was permanently distorted. This distortion led to a false misrepresentation of what God was really like. Somewhere deep on the inside she believed that since this person claimed to represent God that she didn’t want anything to do with a God like that.

Paul states in 2 Corinthians 3:2 that we are an “epistle….known and read of all men.” Hebrews 1:3 says that Jesus was the “brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person.” As Christians we are also responsible to reflect the character and nature of God, our Father. In Matthew 5:16 Jesus says that we should let our lights (lifestyle, character, temperament, etc.) “so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

What portrayal of the Lord do people see in your life? What is being reflected concerning His Character and Nature in your lifestyle? Deuteronomy 28: 10 says that “all the people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD," when you live right.

That kind of experience in a "religious" environment can sure leave a bad taste in a young ladies life. Who would want to serve a God whose servants act like that? As a result of experiences like these and the ungodly actions of other professing so-called "Christians" God gets a very bad reputation. It is easy to see why the world calls most Christians hypocrites, because sadly we do not reflect the love, character and nature of the God within us.

As with any title that is bestowed upon people, just because you have a title, does not mean you are what the title states. Many professing Christians aren't Christians at all, just living under a false pretense. Jesus said "Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity." Matthew 7:23

I know many professing "Christians" who do not appear to have any relationship with the Lord at all. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why it took so long for Him to establish Lordship over her life. You'd be amazed by how many people are affected by actions of those who claim to represent God, yet don't even know Him personally. Anyone who openly claims the Lordship of Jesus over their lives, walks in obedience to His Word and Spirit, and reflects the appropriate fruit of that relationship in their lives, are the one's who can rightfully lay claim to the title Christian. Matthew 7:18-20.

Forgive those who have hurt you and like Paul says in Phillipians 3:13-14 "I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven."

Take a long look into the mirror tonight!
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

SETTING THE HOOK!

Jesus said to His disciples “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19 Avid fishermen and sportsmen follow every passing season with an expert eye, and they readily discern the most productive seasons for the hunt. I want to tell you something direct from the Lord. We are in a very fruitful season right now as the whole world is fastened on the Christmas season, whether they like it or not. Jesus said in John 4:35 to “Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest.”

Like it or not, if you have chosen to be a fisher of men for Jesus, than at one point or another you must sink the hook and reel them in! Real Fishermen don’t just leave their bait dangling in the water. They supply a scrumptious, tasty meal, chosen specifically for their desired prey. Once the bait has been carefully chosen, (The choice is usually determined as they chat at the local Bait and tackle shop and hear what’s been working.) the bait is cast right into the middle of the suspected hot spot. A good Fisherman does not let his bait do all the work. The real work does not begin until the bait has been set.

This is where the men are separated from the boys, so to speak; the catchers separated from the fishers. At this point the catcher is waiting, focused on the line attached to the bait, awaiting the slightest tug. He waits as the fish goes for more of the bait and then… he sets the hook with a tug on the line, and reels in the catch of the day.

Soul winning, or being fishers of men is done much in the same fashion. First the bait is chosen and cast

into the populated areas where the hurting, crushed, oppressed, lonely, empty and lost have congregated.

Psalm 40:9-10 describes the heavenly bait. “I have told all your people about your justice. I have

not been afraid to speak out, as you, O LORD, well know. I have not kept this good news

hidden in my heart; I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. I have told

everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and. faithfulness."

The bait is simply telling those in your circle of influence what Jesus has done for you

personally!

Sad to say this is where most believers stop short. We simply leave the bait dangling in the water without

ever attempting to set the hook. Whether it’s fear, apprehension, insecurity, lack of knowledge, or

ignorance, we never extend the invitation for CHOICE! Romans 10:9 states it in this manner; “…if you

will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised

him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Someone must extend the personal invitation for those who are lost, to accept His Lordship!

That someone in this Christmas Season is YOU!

Go to your loved ones who are lost in this Season and tell them what Jesus has done for you.

The Holy Spirit will give you the right words to say. When you are done…SET THE HOOK!

Tell them that you love them so much you can not pass on this opportunity. Because of your

love, you must tell them, “I want you to pray with me to invite Jesus and His Lordship into your

life right now. Will you pray with me right now?” Then be quiet and let the Holy Spirit do His

work. That my friend is setting the hook!

Don’t wait for others to do your job. Tomorrow is never guaranteed, and your loved ones, coworkers, neighbors and friends are waiting on you. What a Christmas present for Jesus and for you to be able to enable access into Eternal Life with the King of Glory, this Holy Season. There are many souls waiting to be hooked and reeled in this time and season! Will you do
your part?

At the age of eighty eight my Dad was hooked and reeled into the Kingdom of God in just this

manner. As I continued to pray for my Dad, I kept asking the Lord to send someone to bring

him into the Kingdom. Finally He said, "I have already sent them! Now go and ASK THE

QUESTION!" I did and he responded. Today my dad is Home with his Lord and Savior!

Good Fishing! I want to hear your fishing tales and it will not be about the “One that

Got away, ” but about the huge one that you landed!

IS TODAY, JUST ANOTHER DAY?

The Late great Planet Earth?

It was just another day, in the life of Planet Earth,

Twenty four more hours going by.

Traffic was heavy and there was a little rain,

Babies were born and people died.

Up in Alaska it was thirty one below,

Down in Miami it was hot.

Honky-Tonks were crowded and the people partied on,

In Church a couple tied the knot.

Headlines screamed about the rapid spread of aids,

Famine and war were in the news.

An earthquake shook some far off corner of the world,

Another child had been abused.

Then something happened in a twinkling of an eye,

Some watched in horror as a plane fell from the sky.

Trains went wild and cars were crashing, There were ships without a Captain.

Millions of people had just vanished from the earth.

Panic and confusion were the order of the day,

Grown men were weeping and some people tried to pray.

A mocking echo in the madness seemed to say,

“It’s too late!”

And then a stranger stepped onto the TV screen,

He said don’t worry, I’m the one.

Who will bring peace to every corner of this earth,

And now the world shall be as one.

All kings and Governments will give their power to me,

I’ll put a mark in your right hand.

For three and one half years the whole world was at peace,

Then darkness fell upon the land.

He went into the Temple in Jerusalem one day,

He said “I’m God! You all must bow!”

To the Valley of Megiddo came the armies of the world,

It looked as though the end was coming now.

Then something happened in the twinkling of an eye,

A mighty trumpet blast, and in the Eastern sky,

Came Jesus on a snow white horse, leading heaven’s shining forces.

This is the hour of our Final Victory.

The one’s who wore the mark were shouting “Satan, you’re a liar!”

As angels bound him up and threw him in the Lake of Fire.

Praises to God’s Name were ringing,

All the Saints were singing Halleluiah! Halleluiah! Halleluiah!

No man knows when His return will be; not even Jesus! But the Bible says we will know the signs, and I am excited about what I'm seeing. It's time to rise up; quit playing Church; and become the Church! We do not want to leave anyone behind! If Jesus is Lord in your life, then act like it! You must tell someone today what Jesus has done for you!

This song is on Charlie Daniel's Album entitled: "Steel Witness."

Read the words again. Jesus is coming soon!
