Very, very well said dear Sister GG :)These are the Last Days which were spoken of without question, and there is an enemy who knows his time is almost up! Because of this, the enemy is throwing all sorts of deceptions out there to see who he can trip up, steel time from, with the goal of taking our eyes off of Jesus during these turbulent times.<br /> Jesus controls the storms, and asks us to look to Him! Remember that Peter began to sink when he took his eyes off of Jesus, but Jesus Saved him. Its all a matter of Trusting God, the worse things get. As Charles Stanley has always said, "be obedient to God, and leave all the consequences to Him". There are many alarming "stories" these days, some true, some so wild that you wonder where folks discernment is. Again, Charles Stanley did a sermon on discernment from the Holy Spirit, that was really good. He spoke of how folks can run with their emotions, their own thoughts, and ignore the prompting of the Holy Spirit to the point that His prompting becomes a whisper to them as they ignore Him. It is at this critical point in all of time, that we need to refer to His Word greatly.If something is concerning us, we need to ask ourselves "What does Gods Word say about this?" Knowing He has great confidence in us to have allowed us to be born into this time, at the edge of all time, what can we do to be good Servants to Him? Above all this craziness, what is most important to Him in these Last Days?<br /> Witnessing, leading the lost to Christ. The lost are in abundance, and many "Christians" are among them regardless of the denomination. Some more obvious than others with the false teachings. Yet Jesus tells us that He will find True Believers even among them. :) Bible Prophecy being fulfilled, is a privilege to Witness. It may pause sometimes, but it is always moving forward.I ask forgiveness a lot for my impatience with false distractions that steel time from folks, because we are so VERY close to His Coming for us. To me, just one major event away. Look up dear Sis, look up...keep your eyes focused on Him :)<br /> Mrs.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424337265401319623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-23630704199000432292016-01-04T06:48:19.646-05:002016-01-04T06:48:19.646-05:00Yes indeed Brother Scott, he did make the same sta...Yes indeed Brother Scott, he did make the same statement regarding the Cross several months ago. However, forgive me, but he did make it very clear what he was speaking of then. He without question, stated "humanly speaking" in regard to his previous statement back in Sept. In context,he was speaking of peoples failures regarding fruits of their works when he said it. "Humanly speaking", from a human perspective, from the "worlds" perspective too for that matter. Even Jesus's followers wept at the Cross because they saw the event of the Crucifixion as a "human failure", their Lord was killed before them treated as a common criminal. EVEN after they had walked this Earth with Him, witnessing, knowing He was the Son of God! They were devastated, and hid in fear, believing their "human perspective" and doubting God's divine ability to bring fruitfulness out of something that appears to be a "failure'.<br /> In his recent comment, the pope;s next sentence is the Resurrection, which is the conquering of death and the Cross.<br /> Without question, this pope, as in many others, perpetuate false doctrine, and have also historically done horrendous things. In true fashion, this pope too has said some pretty outrageous things, exposing his false beliefs. "Works" amd the list is endless with Catholicism. We should not be shocked or surprised, as this is just part of the culmination of the Last Days Jesus spoke of...Mrs.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424337265401319623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-61513596680982179022016-01-03T23:27:16.660-05:002016-01-03T23:27:16.660-05:00Your pov is on track from following God first and ...Your pov is on track from following God first and seeing how man is getting it wrong. I think we have to admit we <br />are in a world of insurmountable evil hourly. We can't trust man, we must lean on God. The messes are getting <br />bigger and the lies and deceptions are growing by leaps and bounds hourly to serve mans ego and end game. <br />What ever the Pope or President has said, imho, clearly shows me it once again is serving self, and praise be to <br />God for shining the light on the dark places. I am taking news like this and saying " thank you Jesus for reminding <br />me what is just and true in you, verses another incoming bomb of lies and deceptions that I will not partake in". It <br />is also showing me now, that I have to limit the amount of darkness I let in for it will be counter productive to what <br />he needs me to do in these last days.<br /><br />On the flip side of the issue, for those who are stronger, and better suited up than I; may just be able to go out and <br />witness to someone about the things going on, but hopefully showing what option B is. This article today made me <br />want to teather down my straps a little tighter and stomp my foot about, yet another stupid thing, a hurtful thing,<br />happening around us all. Instead, luckily, today I was strong in my daily walk when I read this, so when I do see <br />my Catholic neighbor, who does have questions about " why do people say the Catholic Church is a bad thing" - <br />then, I can take the reasonable points out of the stupid articles, and balance them against what God is saying, no <br />matter the news. It's almost a bitter sweet walk we are doing right now, while trying to help the lost. I don't believe <br />God wants us going in so deep that we forget it is all about him first. I hope this makes some sense as to how <br />frustrating the news is to me, but I am trying to learn from the bad and speak the truth according to God. I am <br />human too and don't get it right on many days as my emotions instead of logic want to witness first, which is not <br />what Gid desires for his servants. :)<br /><br />I am praying that you all stay suited up and in the word daily to get your soul food. We need all the great strength <br />for Gods team to get us through all this muck, which they call the news.<br /><br />God Bless!!<br />GGGG2013https://www.blogger.com/profile/01180358618816519694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-44597322320870963112016-01-03T23:23:53.623-05:002016-01-03T23:23:53.623-05:00Hi Mrs. C-

I truly believe we are at a time that we all have to decide which master <br />we will be serving in these last days. I hope I can say this right, as I am lovingly stating my position from a spiritual <br />stance and Jesus first, is just what I struggle with right now.<br /><br />IMHO - It takes a lot to be suited up to sort through these articles from all the media sources. I am the first to admit <br />and humbly; that I am not sure that knowing all we know pouring in daily, - though I know Brother Scott's armour must <br />be stronger than mine on some days-lol.- is as healthy spirtually as we wait. With lame street, Main Street, alternative, <br />etc....it all boils down to the source being carnal driven serving mans instead of God driven through his infallible word to <br />serve our loving God.<br /><br />We humans are so very egar to follow, understand and are curious all at the same time. IMHO, it seems man is spending its last <br />days in speculation of what we are to expose; but we truly are walking a fine line of following the lies and deceptions, <br />thus adding more onto us spiritually, rather than hitting the pause button and asking what is it we really should be doing <br />for Jesus in these last days.<br /><br />I am learning that I simply can't serve two masters, period. One is light and strong. The other is draining and weakening <br />to my journey with Christ. Oddly enough lately, I am getting hammered as to how we are grieving the Holy Spirit. What <br />is edifying vs worldly? These are all the spiritual battles I am struggling with right now, when we are dim in spirit, we can't <br />serve as we are supposed to, and the devil wins. We talk about decernment, but if the words we are reading are not good <br />for our soul, then we just took in another spoonful of untruthfulness, which weakens our wholeness of filling up on his word.<br />Honestly said, it's like walking around a bunch of corruptible seeds and hoping they don't take root. We all know, what we <br />put into our eye gates and ear gates affect our mind gate, which comes out our mouth gate giving the wrong message to the <br />lost or confused.GG2013https://www.blogger.com/profile/01180358618816519694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-44259185297588510482016-01-03T19:45:55.246-05:002016-01-03T19:45:55.246-05:00But the pope didn't say that it APPEARED as a ...But the pope didn't say that it APPEARED as a tragedy....He said it was a failure - and that is completely untrue.

And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end” (Matthew 26:58). Many Christians in America today want to follow Jesus at a distance. They want to give themselves a little room—they want to watch which way the wind will blow before they are publicly seen too close to the Lord. When Jesus is portrayed in a good light or when it’s comfortable, they will stand next to Him. But if Jesus is going to be mocked or cursed or insulted, they want to stay back until they know how things will go. As this new year gets off to a start, it is a good time for each of us to examine the ways in which we may be trying to maintain a little space between us and our Lord. In whatever area of li/fe it may be—don’t keep your distance. Remember, Jesus gives us a warning, “But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 10:33)."Mrs.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424337265401319623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-51254573404125042652016-01-03T18:31:04.755-05:002016-01-03T18:31:04.755-05:00From the transcript of the Popes "unscripted ...From the transcript of the Popes "unscripted talk with Kenyan youth" - the words he said before the isolated referenced quote taken out of context...<br /><br />"Transitory things that end up destroying you. A question Manuel asked. It’s a question that a professor in theology might ask. How can we understand that God is our father, how to see his hand in the tragedies of life, how can we find God’s peace? This question men and women all over the world ask themselves. And they can’t find the reason. And there are some questions that you can turn around in your minds over and over again and never find the answer. How can I see the hand of God in tragedy? I was going to say there’s just one response but no, there’s no response. There is a path. To look at the Son of God. God endured death to save all of us. God became a tragedy.

The Pope was talking about terrorists, and then the question that we as Believers hear a lot. Where is the Hand of God in tragedies? Especially in the world these days.
