Where does your treasure lie?

http://www.trunews.com/10-signs-the-takedown-of-paper-gold-has-unleashed-an-unprecedented-global-run-on-physical-gold-and-silver/

Ezekial 7-19 “‘They will throw their silver into the streets,
and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean.
Their silver and gold
will not be able to deliver them
in the day of the Lord’s wrath.
It will not satisfy their hunger
or fill their stomachs,
for it has caused them to stumble into sin.
James 5 3-6 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[a] 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

Matthew 6: ¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The fear of the Lord

Malachi 3: 16-18
The Faithful Remnant

16 Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.

17 “On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Jerusalem
April 24 2013
Psalm 122: 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May those who love you be secure.
7 May there be peace within your walls
    and security within your citadels.”
8 For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your prosperity.

At this present time Israel’s enemies surround her and continue to plot her demise, chief among them Iran. A precious few countries still feign friendship with Israel among them America. But the word tells us the day is coming when all nations of the world will seek her destruction.

Zechariah 12: 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.

Will America join with the other nations of the world and go up to fight against Jerusalem? If she still exists as a nation she will. Saints that live in America, pray, pray, pray and pray some more!

Genesis 12: 2 “I will make you into a great nation,
    and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
    and whoever curses you I will curse;

I for one do not wish to live under God’s curse, will you join me in praying for the peace of Jerusalem?

Spiritual Battle

Fellow saints we are in a warfare! If you are not getting the best of the enemy, he is getting the best of you. I for one am tired of taking it! I refuse to be run over and run through by the devices and wicked schemes of the enemy of our souls. The word provides relief from the attacks of the enemy, its been there all along. Many of you learned these verses as young children in Sunday School, well its high time to dust off that old lesson and apply it to our lives again if you are tired of living a defeated life!

The Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God,so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Two Church's

Two Dreams May 15, 2012.

On the morning of May 15 I had two distinct dreams. In the first dream an unidentified friend and I were drawn to a Church meeting because an unidentified prophet was supposed to be speaking. People that gathered at the large Church were taken to a large number of buses to be taken to a place in the country to seek the Lord. The number of people who filed out of the Church and got on buses was huge, maybe many thousands, a large number of buses formed a caravan and left the Church. When we reached the area we were to seek the Lord the prophet was sought by someone who said they had a word to speak. This person was allowed to speak but I don’t recall what was said. After this we began to seek the Lord and in a while I felt the presence of the Lord like I had never felt before! All I could do was sit on the ground with my head bowed down and I was slobbering and crying uncontrollably and was unable to speak intelligible words. This went on for some time and then the dream ended.

The second dream was total opposite from the first dream. I recall sitting in a Church and an unidentified the male and female next to me were engaged in heavy petting, nearly to the point of intercourse, in the Church! I looked up at the unidentified preacher and he was laid out on a pew with an attractive female and they also were engaged in heavy petting, and all the while he was speaking God’s word from the Bible. Suddenly the female told the preacher she was going into labor. The preacher panicked and said he was calling an ambulance. The female said no she was giving birth right now. She turned away from the congregation and gave birth. Everyone including the preacher looked on in shock! I did not see the baby after it was birthed.

The meaning I got from this second dream is that the spirit of antichrist has been birthed into the Church. And really from the two dreams I believe that the Holy Spirit is speaking to my heart that there are two Church’s on earth at this time. One that is earnestly seeking him with their whole heart. And the other is sold out to the world system and wants everything the world has to offer.

This portion added 3/24/13. This second church is the apostate church that many mainline denominations are falling over themselves to get into, embracing unsound teaching such as welcoming same sex marriage. Matthew 7: 15  “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

Watchmen

Isaiah 62: 6-7
I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,
⁷ and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise of the earth.

The sleeping Church

April 11 2013.

A very dear friend of mine told me of a time he and his wife had a meal in a nearby city. He said as they ate he noticed an elderly couple sitting nearby. The older gentleman had fallen asleep but his wife just quietly continued her meal. When she was finished she stood up and gently touched her husband on the shoulder and said, come on papa, its time to wake up, its time to go. Immediately the Lord spoke to my friends heart and said... That is my Church, they sleep and slumber and it is hard for them to wake up.

14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

2 Corinthians 4-4: The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

^15 
15 Isaiah 59:15 Truth is nowhere to be found,

    and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased
    that there was no justice.

The word of God is not bound!

God is not mocked

April 4 2013
Now is not the time to ride the fence. To those that are trying to keep one foot in the world and what it has to offer and keeping one foot in the Church house be warned God is not mocked!
Galatians 6:7
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
The apostle Paul said:
2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Fellow saints of God excuse the crude analogy but we are so close to the finish line I could spit across it! Cling to the Lord, do what is right in his sight!
God Bless and have a great day!
