Heidi, just stay away from Mike Adams and Brighteon. He profits from doom and gloom. Like literally. Bad news = $$$. While, I was grumpy a few posts ago, I know we believers have a wonderful future ahead. :yahoo: When I am feeling down, I read the Psalms. David knew what we were going through. He went through terrible times but kept his eye on the Prize. As long as we have Jesus (and He will never leave us or forsake us) we have everything. :heart: Bible prophecy teachers always taught we would be raptured while things were still honky dory business and usual as they interpreted the last days to the best to their knowledge. Who knew that the evil people in high powerful positions would gang up and press the deadly drugs on everyone before departure. Yet we have a clue in Revelation 9:21 “Neither repented they of their murders (population control) nor of their sorceries(aka pharmaceutical drugs/vaxx), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” While living in this life … its a given …everyone will be faced with trials and tribulations. Even the saints that are in heaven … their lives weren’t 100% ice cream parlor soda malt shop wonderful down here. Hey, my mom was murdered in 2011 by the “lovely” healthcare workers before she died. They starved her and kept all liquids away for 4 weeks and drugged her up with morphine and then removed body parts without our permission. But thankfully she was ready for heaven and she is now rejoicing up there. I’m sure many here can testify the same with various loved ones or friends who had to face horrific deaths. But for a believer … death has no sting .. our last breath here is …hello heaven and being with Jesus! :whistle: And if you see people haven’t had their fair share of trials and suffering, especially the unsaved, don’t worry … its a given they will … in the tribulation period. But thank God, believers will be snatched away, prior to that dark horrific timeframe. Paul talks about being an overcomer of our trials/hardships Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Revelation 2:7 Meanwhile our life down here is fleeing .. as a vapor compared to eternity. James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. So let us hold on … Jesus is coming for us VERY VERY soon! Keep looking up to Him and not our current circumstances. :heart: My heart goes out to you Canadian believers. Just know we are standing alongside in prayer to our Father. These are some of my favorite Corrie ten Boom quotes that have help me so much in my life since I was a teenager many years ago *************************************************************** If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest. Jesus did not promise to change the circumstances around us. He promised great peace and pure joy to those who would learn to believe that God actually controls all things. The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something, and enter God’s realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible. Nothing is too great for His almighty power. Nothing is too small for His love. When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer. Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. In order to realize the worth of the anchor we need to feel the stress of the storm. Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that the prisoner was me. Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible. I prayed to dispel my fear, until suddenly, and I do not know how the idea came to me, I began to pray for others. I prayed for everyone who came into my thoughts - - people with whom I had traveled, those who had been in prison with me, my school friends of years ago. I do not know how long I continued my prayer, but this I do know - - my fear was gone! Interceding for others had released me! Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you. Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness. You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have. We must mirror God's love in the midst of a world full of hatred. We are the mirrors of God's love, so we may show Jesus by our lives Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire? Father sat down on the edge of the narrow bed. "Corrie," he began gently, "when you and I go to Amsterdam-when do I give you your ticket?" I sniffed a few times, considering this. "Why, just before we get on the train." "Exactly. And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things, too. Don't run out ahead of Him, Corrie. When the time comes that some of us will have to die, you will look into your heart and find the strength you need-just in time. If it’s dark everywhere, you can become so discouraged. You might doubt whether light still exists. But even if you can’t see the Lord, He sees you and me. Jesus said, 'And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age' (Matt. 28:20). When it’s necessary, He suddenly says, 'I’m still here!' Nobody can take away from you those texts from the Bible which you have learned by heart. There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still. I have experienced His presence in the deepest hell that man can create. I have really tested the promises of the Bible, and believe me, you can count on them. _Corrie Ten Boom Thank you, Susan. It isn't always easy up here. Thankfully we can cling to two wonderful words... But God... The darker it gets, the brighter our light shines. I am thinking of making a sign that says: Freedom from mandates is great but freedom from sin is vital. Trudeau’s Justice Minister Says Being “Pro-Trump” is a Factor That will Decide if Your Bank Account is Frozen Under Emergency Orders: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Castro Jr.) this week invoked the Emergency Act to break up the Freedom Convoy and freeze funding for the truckers. Trudeau is also using the Emergency Orders to freeze personal accounts of people who donated to the trucker convoy. Christian crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo was back online Tuesday after being hacked by crazy leftists. The platform has been under attack for hosting a fundraiser for the Canadian trucker Freedom Convoy and refusing to comply with an order from the Canadian government to freeze the funds. Now the donors to the freedom convoy are being harassed, threatened, and fired. Not suprisingly, people do not want their bank accounts frozen and leave them without money. So, there has been a run on the banks as many people scramble to get their money out. Nice job, Crime Minister. :negative: https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/trudeau-causes-bank-run-in-canada Canadian parents could face fines or jail time for bringing children to ‘unlawful’ Freedom Convoy protests under new emergency powers act: The new power reportedly comes after the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act this week, granting itself exceptional measures to address the country's ongoing Freedom Convoy trucker protests. It marked the first time the act has been invoked since its passage in 1988. Specifically, the Act allows government authorities to administer fines of up to $5,000 or five years jail time for those who bring children under the age of 18 to participate in the assembly and the same penalties for anyone who participates in the blockades or brings aid — such as food or fuel — to people involved, CBC noted. Banks and insurance companies have also been granted the authority to freeze participants' accounts and cancel their vehicle insurance. https://www.theblaze.com/news/emergencies-act-canada-parents-face-fines-jail My sister has just sent me an urgent prayer request. Please pray, if able. ? Dear Arthur I thought this might interest you.... I've I saw this on the FB page of Jim Garlow of the World Prayer Network). “WE MAY TRY TO LIVESTREAM THIS - IF WE CAN. Some Canadian truckers & others have been doing a Jericho March around the Parliament Building in Ottawa - for 6 days. Thursday, Feb 17 is Day 7. They will circle the building 7 times. They will meet at the centennial flame fountain monument in front of Parliament at 6:50 AM for communion. (All times are Eastern time zone) Like the original Jericho March, on the 7th day, they will march around 7 times, starting a new lap at these times: 7:00 AM 7:40 AM 8:20 AM 9:00 AM 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 PM At 1:00 PM EST, they will end the Jericho March at the main stage. At that time, they invite all men, women, and children across the world to honk horns for seven minutes. It’s time to bring the walls down from around the hearts of all. They will then hear messages from Pastor Michael Van Zanten, Pastor Lorraine Martin, Reverend Laszlo Tofalusi, Pastor Henry Hildebrandt, and Laura Lynn Tyler Thomp [NOTE: should be Thompson]. (We are working on livestreaming it.) Lets stand with our Canadian brothers & sisters." What a GREAT idea! I will certainly be :prayer-hands: … They should blow some trumpets on the 7th day!!! :whistle:
Romans 8:35-39
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
