DOVES

As I searched on line for the programme schedule of a Christian t.v. station on the internet I noticed a critical blog by a former supporter of the channel.  The man went to great lengths regarding his disapproval of the latest additions and schedules whilst saluting the genuinely sincere intentions of the founders, nevertheless he had decided they were to lose his support.

His comments regarding Israel were somewhat strange.    On the occasions I had visited the site I found reporting on the Middle East honest and balanced.  The Barry Segal programme on the land of Israel and the customs of the Jewish people is informative and at times amusing.

Presuming the complainant is a Christian himself, does he not understand the God of the bible is the God of the Jewish people and Yeshua is our Hebrew Lord and Saviour.   Yes,  Jesus was a Jew and  Christian gentiles are grafted into the vine.    The Messiah is coming back to His land, His people.  

In the U.K. OFCOM have ensured Christian broadcasts are in every way bland, inoffensive to all and toothless.    They very quickly arrive on the scene telling the organisation concerned  "you can't say that" thereby totally disarming the concept of freedom of speech, which is very convenient for the "new wave, replacement theology, prosperity teachers,  God's Word watered down and blurred at the edges.

2 Timothy 4 - 3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they heap up for themselves teachers.

With the exception of the excellent teaching by Jacob Prasch, the late Dwight Pryor, David Hocking, Dave Hunt and David Wilkerson I prefer to seek solace and Holy Spirit guidance reading my bible,  steering well clear of the white suited perfectly manicured celebrities with Lear Jet and Rolex watch, and the numerous authors who sell their exalted opinions on what God actually meant by this and that.

T.V. celebrities of some channels seemingly rake in millions with the encouragement you can become an angel or plant a tree in Israel!   The certificate arrived but I doubt I will ever find my tree in Israel.   In fact I have to take their word for any planting.      So perhaps I could be forgiven for not wanting to read this man's very lengthy article nit picking Revelation T.V.    Facebook and the media are awash with self appointed prophetesses and experts and I seriously doubt some would know their Messiah if they fell over him.      

As I studied various texts in my bible the words would catch my attention and speak into my life.
I highlight a passage thinking YES!!!!     Strangely when this text was used and preached by true men of God it was confirmation and affirmation.    The Father leads His children around the globe and His Holy Spirit will bring enlightenment to any soul sincerely struggling to understand WHY.

Time to call in the Lollards.     In total obedience to Matthew 10  they went two by two in long red robes, staff in hand.    Having freely received they freely preached the gospel to the people.  

Fortunately I keep a daily journal as I don't have a photographic brain and as someone quoted amusingly  "life is like toilet paper, when it is getting near the end of the roll it goes fast.   I was searching for the date of a dream I had logged which even I had been unable to forget.

In January 2008 I had logged a quote I had either heard or read "Just get ready to lose some friends for where God is taking you they can't go"   I then discovered the entry I was seeking in March 2008.  

Sheds that in past vivid dreams had been filled with every conceivable need stood empty.   I had searched the first two sheds and had somehow reached the conclusion our very survival was threatened.   I instructed a small group of people to burn bits of furniture on a makeshift fire to keep warm, that we would have to mend and make do using whatever we could find and turn the former garden of well tended beds and lawns to growing food as quickly as the season would allow.   Yes it was a fat cow, lean cow dream of what has come to pass for many people since then and continues to this day.  

Recalling my dream to a wealthy atheist relative he scoffed  "it won't affect me"  He clearly viewed my witness with contempt,  but my reply came instantly and spontaneously  "it will if the banks crash"     He rarely passes a comment these days.

Matthew 16 - 17 (study note)  The deity of Christ is a truth known only by divine revelation.
MEANWHILE I STAND IN THE GAP BEFORE GOD - for my little brother.

Some excellent tips were logged in August 2008

The challenge is living in a society contrary to your beliefs.
Your main witness "your Christian life lived - walking the walk"
Keep your eyes on Yeshua.
Don't get diverted or distracted by contrary winds blowing around your family.

BE AS GENTLE AS DOVES.
They can only see straight ahead - wise birds.

It's not what someone did, or said that caused concern
YOU TOOK YOUR EYES OFF YESHUA.

I will always log discovered gems of wisdom,  I am humble enough to know you never stop learning.
I will forever seek the blessing of a spirit of discernment in the minefield of today's witnesses  knowing however well intentioned the evangelists or the promotion by pen or media,  it is only by true personal revelation a soul turns homeward.

FOREFATHERS

If you have had revelation from God you are truly blessed and rich beyond your wildest dreams but as
the tide flows ever stronger towards growing apostasy you will have to cling fast to the dreams and visions and stand on the Word of God.

Only yesterday a non believer chuckled as he related yet another rapture scenario that hadn't happened.
I am amazed how many Christians consider they are to be spared suffering, yet their Saviour was literally butchered for them.    They should read their bibles and remember the world is watching their witness.

Matthew 24 - 36
Yeshua said " But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

Matthew 24 - 21 - 22
Yeshua said  "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened"


Perhaps if we consider the historical evidence freely available on the internet regarding the Reformation Forefathers, in no particular order or rank, John Wycliffe, graduate of Oxford University considered the "Morning Star of the Reformation,  Rowland Taylor, William Tyndale, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon - he of the famous quote "it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me" to mention just a few, and observe the list of those burnt at the stake by supposed followers of Christ and the "dark doings" of the Catholic church and her papacy, we should get the message that those who stood for Christ, considered holy men and women of God,  have met very messy deaths at the hands of the Apostate Church.   There is no excuse for ignorance.

Matthew 10 - 38 - 39
Yeshua said "and He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
And the consolation prize
"He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

In this once great Christian nation there are children of the remnant as undoubtedly there are around the globe.   The battle is still bloody and horrific at the hands of radical Islam and few realise the implications for the western world of the so called Arab Spring heavily backed by Britain and America.
But judgement is surely coming on those whose aim is to divide His land.     

Even Abraham in anguished conversation with his Maker tentatively pleaded for the people.
Genesis 18 -  Verse 32
Then he (Abraham said) "Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: suppose ten should be found there? And He (God) said I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.   But of course as we know in Verse 15 - Lot was told to get out quick as God was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.     Fact:   Sodom is not a pretty place to drive through and recent archeological discoveries include "sulpher balls"  the place is barren and desolate, they surely paid the price.

Church of the prosperity preachers beware - nothing but nothing should come before God.   He doesn't hand out lottery prizes, He hands out Crosses.   Every idol (and I don't mean a golden calf) anything that takes the place of God in man's heart.   Be it possessions, worshipping celebrities,
wealth or status and you are in a dangerous place.

SELF

Bigger, better, I want more,
ambition holds me in its claw.
Feel the strength, touch the power,
success, achievement by the hour.

Personal space filled to the brim,
things to treasure, things I'll bin,
File it, store it, hide away,
may need that another day.

Sunrise, sunset all the same,
busy working life's fast lane.
Packing, flying, chase the sun,
spend the money, have some fun.

Driving past the vacant stare,
huddled in a cardboard chair.
Despising weakness, where is pride,
not my concern their vision died.

My humble roots, his simple trade,
I fought and schemed, my future made.
My taxes keep the likes of you,
get off your back and pay your due.

Suddenly my life is still,
desires and dreams beyond my will.
Visions of my life ahead,
imprisoned in a sterile bed.

Captive now, I have no choice,
but listen to a still small voice.
A future that I could not see,
finds the soul inside of me.

Huddled in a metal chair,
sensing beauty everywhere,
this precious earth, sky and sea,
proclaim The Power that set me free.

Reaching for Your outstretched Hand,
I'll take the second chance You planned,
and try, until my life is through,
to walk the path that pleases You.

Throughout the turbulence of this dying year we have realised that Government leaders rarely listen to the voice of the people they serve, the ugly face of anarchy mingles with peaceful protestors
and the net falls on guilty and innocent alike.      

Revelation 18 (3 - 4)
And I heard another voice saying "come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

WE - THE REMNANT - ARE CALLED OUT - TO STAND APART FROM THE WAYS OF THIS WORLD.

A study note on Revelation 17 in my NJV bible regarding the fall of Babylon is a very relevant comparison.

"The fall of Babylon gives an illustration of the spiritual principle that anti Christian political and military powers inevitably destroy the economy and the nation or civilization they undergird.
Are we seeing any comparison here - does it ring any warning bells!!!!!!!!!!!!

The timbers are rotten, her sails torn, the ship is listing badly and no amount of prayer can alter
what is WRITTEN.    Man's own greed has all but destroyed this precious gift of our creator God.
The population for the greater part remain anaesthetized, their brains haggled and controlled by drugs, drink, sexual perversion and the materialism of this world.      They witness appalling cruelty and manipulation of innocent children too late, another decadent generation will rise to maturity,  yet they cannot conceive they are being controlled and manipulated.   Even the slave trade continues, albeit with a different face, but its there.  

Concern and apathy mingle on the faces of the people they complain "isn't it terrible, what a wicked world"   This is precisely what happens when people abandon God - He turns his face away and allows our enemies to rise.

SHALOM - SHALOM - SHALOM  brothers and sisters of the Remnant.  Matt. 6 - 25
Remember the words of Yeshua - Do not worry about your life.................................................................
33 - Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness......

We cannot open blind eyes and deaf ears, only the prevenient grace of God can save,  and divine election remains a mystery.   Why God chooses one and not another.

May we carry our cross knowing our time is short, but eternity is forever in His Kingdom to come.

Nevertheless the time of harvest approaches for us.   Judgement is surely coming on Britain and America.   Sadly the innocent suffer as a direct result of those in leadership who are once again intent on breaking the Balfour Declaration and dividing His land again.      


We have had a clear witness this year of what happens when people peacefully protest against the government and get caught up in the mayhem that ensured.    Dark forces are at work
