SHELTER IN THE PSALMS

If the foundations be destroyed, 

what can the righteous do?

Psalm 11 - 3

KJV

The days are short and long hours of darkness lie ahead.  Trees continue to shed their leaves covering gardens and pavements in a cloak of gold, copper and red.   Nature whispers - rest until resurrection.  Angry skies darken and cold winds blow rotten leaves into untidy piles.

The moral rot increases undermining and corrupting innocent minds.  Sodom and Gomorrah re-visited.  Sabre rattling continues.   Men of war look to evoke conflict regardless of global  disaster.   Self appointed prophets predict the end of the world and the date and day pass by as men continue to squabble over boundaries and false gods like petulant spoilt children.  Yet their actions are observed.

Psalm 10 - 11

He hath said in his heart,

God hath forgotten:

he hideth his face;

he will never see it.

KJV

Where to now for the genuine followers of Jesus Christ, sickened and saddened  by the bloodshed and mayhem, watching the depressing trail of depraved and lost souls dancing on the edge of oblivion.

Psalm 12 - 1

HELP, Lord: for the godly man ceaseth;

for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

KJV

Right now we need all the encouragement we can get.   Rather like the Lord's disciples it's a case of fight or flight.   Some will deny, some will run and some will stay at the foot of the cross.

It's never too late to repent and turn your life around.   God sees the heart and knows sincere repentance.  You can't fight this world, it's on a fast track to destruction, but you can save your soul.

Jesus comes to the Mary Magdalene,  those fighting injustice, the sick and weary and oppressed, you only have to ask.   He will give you peace in the storm and courage to endure until His Kingdom comes and perhaps the greatest blessing:

Psalm 17 - 15

As for me,  I will behold thy face in righteousness:

I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

KJV

Psalm 119 - 105

THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET

AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH.

REVELATION 21

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 

and there was no more sea.

KJV

This pilgrim will be singing "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path" to the very

last breath.

Amy Grant on her album "Straight Ahead" and  "Greatest Hits" sings "Thy Word"  written by Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith. 

It never ceases to amaze me how the Lord uses singers, writers and poets to get his message across to those who would never pick up a bible.   The truck driver on the highway a harassed young mum struggling through her day blessed unknowingly by a melody that will prayerfully make them  both curious  enough to begin their pilgrimage to salvation.

PRAYER WARRIORS ARISE

Ephesians 6 - 12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, against powers,

against the rulers of the darkness of this world,

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

KJV

That's it" said Paula to the little terrier trotting valiantly by her side.   "I am not opening the door to any one tonight because I might just be tempted to have a go with my new base ball bat."    She passed a parade of the living dead, accompanied by a couple of witches.  The men silent, the women cackling.  Great effort had been made to ensure the costumes and the make-up were authentic.     In a nearby terrace a life sized realistic model of a corpse hanging.   What!!!! how sick is that she muttered as she turned the corner into the apartment block.

It had now gone way past the local kids wearing an old white bed sheet  banging on her door for sweets.   Yes, she knew them and in the past just gave them some sweets.   Now the supermarkets and shops had shelves filled with junk.   Mini skeletons, vampire fangs, devil horns attached to a hair band"  Bottled blood.   One local woman proclaimed "I always take the children to the grave yard on Halloween."   The history of this place was rife with witches and Paula considered some would no doubt be right at home in hell with the devil and his angels if that was their preferred destination. 

Meanwhile hell continues apace in the middle east where the real blood and broken bodies lie in the streets and evil political powers in the real world continue their strangle hold on the innocent.   One could be forgiven for thinking we were regressing at the speed of light to the savagery of our ancestors.    WE HAVE LEARNT NOTHING.!!!

Strangely we don't see the Pope or the Archbishop of Canterbury risking their head in a basket or handing food and emergency rations to the suffering masses.   

In his book "The knowledge of the Holy" A.W. Tower writes:

"It is my opinion that the Christian conception of God current in these middle years of the twentieth century is so decadent as to be utterly beneath the dignity of the Most High God and actually to constitute for professed believers something amounting to a moral calamity."

Many real men of God have been taken home and those that remain suffer ill health as they continue to press the message home.  The mishmash of interfaith and corruption of simple basic theology is sending the denominations down the road to perdition.   The majority do not believe in either God or Satan must less consider God might require their life sacrifice.

Hell on earth is a reality for many in the Middle East and will eventually spread it tentacles across the globe.   Unlike horror films and occult worship this will not be a choice,  many will realise too late that this will be their residence throughout eternity.

In July 2016 the Christian Institute had a resounding victory against the Named Person scheme.

Under the proposals, every child in Scotland was to be assigned a state guardian to monitor their 'well being' however the Supreme Court judgment noted that:

"The first thing that a totalitarian regime tries to do is to get at the children, to distance them from the subversive, varied influences of their families, and indoctrinate them in their rules view of the world.   Within limits, families must be left to bring up their children in their own way"

A small Scottish pad looks increasingly attractive.  

The Christian Institute further stated "Christians were praying as never before because they would have faced severe difficulties from the scheme, but our gracious God has acted powerfully to preserve the freedom of Christians to bring up their children in the Christian faith".   Amen to that.

The latest proposed literature for primary schools could only be described as pornographic literature.   Why would a child need to know about Anal intercourse.   Just another dark agenda on the part of the gay lobby.   This includes 7+ being taught about oral sex.    It is disgusting and christians need to rise against it.

Of course it is possible that Satan's cohorts will get away with this, regardless of protests, and then the only alternative will be to remove your children from the state system - legally - and home school.   Something I certainly would have had every intention of doing.  

Meanwhile the Christian Institute will receive my financial backing and I encourage all those who read my blog to support them and write letters of protest to the government departments concerned.

This proposed literature has very dark agenda to corrupt innocent minds with explicit sexual literature literally stealing their innocence and robbing them of their childhood.   It is simply an abomination.   Of course there is absolutely no guarantee if you decide to remove your child from state education that sooner or later they will have to fight their corner where peer groups are concerned, but we can only pray that God will protect them and give them the strength to stand for His laws and precepts.  

Of course we all know what Jesus Christ said regarding individuals who corrupt and mislead little children.    Millstones will make sure they "go straight down"  Matthew 18-6   

J.R. Miller gives a wonderful description of what Jesus Christ suffered in his article "Living without Worry - The Ministry of Suffering.

"He (Jesus) knew what is was to be homeless and friendless, with an atmosphere of icy hate all about him.   He knew what it was to be betrayed by one he had cherished for years as a friend, to be denied by another, to be forsaken by all, and to stand utterly alone in the centre of the world's rage and cruelty"

Any one who has taken the time to read Matthew 24 (written over 2,000 years ago) can see we are now in the "beginning of sorrows" and there is much yet to unfold.    We are called to "pick up our cross and follow our Lord" regardless of the consequences and are called to stand against this darkness.  

So we rise and pray God will give us the strength to endure the coming tribulation.   Our home can be our sanctuary and heaven help anyone who crosses my threshold with evil intent.    Of course Father we know "thy shalt not kill" but after I have compromised their mobility I can bless them with a spare pair of crutches. :-)    In the film Knowing - Nicholas Cage thrashes the nearest tree with his base ball bat shouting "do you want some of this"   Obviously he considered that would make the intruder think twice.   I only pray God has a sense of humour because I will always defend little children and animals against cruelty.   Adults have choices and they eventually suffer the consequences.  

For those who have been totally mislead by prosperity preachers and expect to get raptured off this earth without any suffering.   Sorry - that is not biblical.   

Jesus calls us to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves, good advice when a mere verbal confrontation can land its unsuspecting victim in court, in the case of contempt,  prison.    We DO NOT live in a democracy as the young people will soon find to their cost. 

Grateful thanks to the "watchman" who drew my attention to the offensive literature I shall be praying the Lord will deal with both the author and the department concerned.  

Of course there is one advantage to all this.   Teachers who have already left the education system neither accepting this anticipated development or state interference in their role as teacher, could discover rewarding consequences and as home tutors be very much in demand, financially independent and secure without state interference in their lives.

Apathy is a disease, we have to take a stand.   Join and support The Christian Institute.   Keep in touch with the latest moves by the sons and daughters of the dark Lord.   Protect innocent minds always teaching them we are called "to love our neighbour" regardless of colour, tribe or tongue.   They will face persecution and worse but the wonderful witness of the suffering christians in the Middle East says it all.    Lord give us their courage and strength as our time will surely come.

THY WILL BE DONE

   

     

     

     

   

   

    

   

FINALITY

Matthew 24 - 36

Jesus said "But of that day and hour no one knows,

not even the angels of heaven, 

but My Father only."

NKJV

Of course you have the You-tube self appointed prophets who gave the date 31st October 2016 as the end of the world, perhaps they might seriously consider leaving that decision to God.

The 31st October 2016 came and went and if you had decided to gather your family around you and  party your way to the very end the bad news is you are still here as the world continues to teeter on the brink of self destruction at the hands of the lunatic fringe.

God says when, not the politicians, oligarchy or self appointed prophets.  Even now men who challenge the status quo are seen as a threat to THE agenda and disappear or finish up in captivity.   History repeats itself and we never never learn from our mistakes.  We ignore ancient scripture that predicts the sequence of events and the great tribulation BEFORE the coming of the Son of Man.   In Matthew 24 - 7 the accuracy of the prediction is realised.

Jesus said "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.   And there will be famines, pestilences, and earth quakes in various places.

(8) All these are the beginnings of sorrows.   

Meanwhile those who trawl the internet for the first warning of warfare are preparing to scuttle down their rather plush survival shelters.   Perhaps they might read a bible whilst they are down there and repent.    There is much tribulation ahead.

Matthew 10 - 36

Jesus said "and a man's enemies will be those of his own household"  Most christians know the isolation they endure but sadly the day is coming when a man will report members of his own family, handing those who refuse to bow to the Prince of this world (Satan) to the authorities and perhaps the elimination factories.

One can't help wondering whether the system will find a money spinner in even that scenario as we continue to pollute the seas and destroy the rain forests and the resultant drought destroys crops.  

Soylent Green - 1973 a science fiction movie about recycling bodies into Green Biscuits as food supplies simply ran out.   

As the scientists and so called experts continue to mess with the planet genuine christians know   without a shadow of doubt the outcome and they rejoice.  I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVES 

Matthew 24 - 40-42

Jesus said:

Then two men will be in the field, one will be taken and the other left.

Two women will be grinding at the mill, one will be taken the other left.

Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 

WATCH & PRAY

JUDGEMENT

Life is good, we drink out fill,

store our treasure, live our will.

Perfect body, perfect face,

moving with amazing grace.

Worshipping the winning team,

heroes on the pitch and screen.

Buy me, try me, tempt me, come

to the pleasure house for fun.

Faster turns the carousel

opening the door to hell.

Standing on a dirty street,

cold and wet with aching feet.

"Repent the day draws ever near",

they laugh, he's sick and loudly jeer,

and as they meet his silent stare

suddenly he isn't there.

Weary preacher walks the floor,

glancing through the open door.

Praying for her swift release

from pain and pills, eternal peace.

Man of God he fought the fight

to bring the wayward to the light.

He takes her hand, a final prayer

all that remains a bed and chair.

Heavy eyes and weary feet,

working hard his debts to meet.

Desperation, silent prayer

can you hear me, do you care?

From an open bedroom door,

small feet patter concrete floor.

A little child climbs on his knee,

a gentle kiss and they are free.

The hall was filled with every race,

raucous laughter filled the place.

Corruption, fraud and greed danced there,

lust and envy turned to stare.

On through the night they'd drink and dine,

at tables decked with food and wine.

Hurtling from a clear blue sky,

in the blinking of an eye.

Judge, lawyer, banker, king,

tremble now as angels sing.

Whale and dolphin leap the space

heralding His Holy face.

THE DAY OF MAN NOW UNDONE

as they behold the glorious Son.

Silent spinning sphere of grey,

the shroud that cloaks your swift decay.

Below the mist a dark despair

they whispered in a final prayer.

THE MESSAGE THEY CHOSE NOT TO HEAR,

completed, ends their lives in fear,

THIS JUDGEMENT DAY.

A.W. Tozer in his book "The Knowledge of the Holy" first published in 1976 writes:

"Perverted notions about God soon rot the religion in which they appear.  The long career of Israel demonstrates this clearly enough, and the history of the church confirms it...................

The house of God is filled with abominations and filth."

That has certainly happened in my life time as Tozer predicted it would.  

In 1973 the late David Wilkerson gave a chillingly accurate "End Times Vision" (available on You tube) events that are unfolding before our very eyes.  A true prophet of God.      

The real bride of Christ is scattered around the globe and patiently awaits the return of her bridegroom.
