But the hour is coming and now is when the true worshippers will worship the
Father in spirit and truth;
for the Father is seeking such to worship Him,
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 4 - 23-24
The house phone rang in Sarah's sitting room as she sat watching a huge cloud coloured pink by the setting sun sail across the pale blue sky.
"Hi, Maggie here" said the voice on the other end of the line "did I disturb you"?
"No" Sarah replied "I'm already disturbed enough, I am just cloud watching, its quite a hobby of mine these days, hopefully one day soon I will see the big event, or maybe not."
"Did you see the police carting Julian Assange off, pretty disgusting hey. We appear to be slowly turning into a police state" said Maggie.
"Yes" - it is utterly nauseating, this world is getting so dreadfully dark. I just can't wait to get out of here. One way or another. Truth is dead. I am just praying the dark lords in America don't get their hands on him. They are evil personified and some call themselves christian.!!! Father forgive" replied Sarah.
"Do you realise Maggie its twenty five years since I gave my life to Yeshua and received the blessing of a spirit of discernment. I saw the way this was heading and I hate having to say 'I told you so' I get no pleasure in being proved right nevertheless the world and some rotten leaders are on the slippy slope to hell. And yes, crucifixion continues, although in the West it is more a case of torture and mental crucifixion.
The apostasy in the church is mind blowing. The gradual blurring of the edges of God's Word to make it more acceptable to the masses. What will it take to awake the blind and deaf to the judgement that is surely coming.?
These days its not about a church building or a particular fellowship, I just stay close to the shepherd and try where I can to bring a little sunshine into the dark corners of this hurting world. There are still christians who are worthy of the title saint scattered in various places. May the martyrs receive their justice - soon.
The state church presents no threat to the system, as in China it is the genuine christians in small groups that they will aim to silence. No you can't express an opinion any more and in a society hell bent on materialism, greed and pleasure you have to be prepared to go underground. Just look at the array of false prophets and rising anti.christs leading the sheep down the path to hell. Regardless I thank Yeshua for saving me and leading me. I have Hope - those in the grip of this world have nothing so when everything they prize is destroyed they will crash and burn.
I remember well my journey back to my Father. I know that His love for me is the greatest prize any mere mortal could hope to gain. I don't gamble or play the lottery, but if one day I happen to be sitting on the top of the nearest hill wondering how I could stretch my meagre income another day and a tall handsome stranger (description of the devil here) oozing charm offered me the winning ticket on the lottery with all that would entail - for my soul - he would be promptly told where to go - HELL and this insignificant pilgrim would plod onward satisfied with her daily bread.
"Well goodness me" said the voice on the other end of the phone "I didn't quite expect that monologue"
"Freely given" said Sarah laughing remembering the good times she and Maggie had shared in the past. "You're on the right track woman, and if you are getting flack that's really healthy sign. Don't forget to pray for all those who are persecuted for speaking the Truth. Sorry - its going to get worse but "IT IS WRITTEN" so we are on course for a "showdown"
Question
Why do you wake me in the early hours,
when the noisy world sleeps for just a brief moment,
snuffling scratching nocturnal creatures hunting through to dawn.
I'm listening, waiting for Your words of instruction,
teaching, or just a reminder of prophetic vision,
this world bleeding to death, pale faced greed stalking the streets.
I sense impending wrath,
arrogant, defiant, tragic mankind pollutes, defiles your precious pearl
children breathing caustic air.
Few will be called and few saved,
but You will come in glory to harvest the land,
and those who would fight Your truth will fall to Your sword.
This time their hands powerless to capture and abuse.
You will reign in power and glory
and Your sheep will lie down in green pastures
and drink from crystal streams
in a new world of everlasting peace.
