End Times?  MANY Tribulations! - U.S. Politics

Acts 14: 21 -25

Acts 

After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned again to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia, where they strengthened the believers.  They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that they must enter into the Kingdom of God through many tribulations.   Paul and Barnabas also appointed elders in every church and prayed for them with fasting, turning them over to the care of the Lord, in whom they had come to trust.  Then they traveled back through Pisidia to Pamphylia.  They preached again in Perga, then went on to Attalia.

  Thoughts....

From last weeks 'Thoughts', I can't help but follow along.  There has been a huge time lapse since I last wrote a 'Thought'.  Today is actually December 5, 2016.  Forgive me for being so far behind.   (I am determined to complete July 2016.)   The new dream computer has not been too dreamy, and I have been complacent.  See last weeks prayers regarding that.  As a result, you will find information that is not timely, but a follow up at the end.  Thanks for understanding.

America is now in the nauseating election phase as we pray earnestly the Electoral College will vote the way of the American people who chose Hillary Clinton to be our next President of the United States of America.

Some are saying we are in The End Times of the Kingdom of God biblically.  Having watched the Christians in America leave churches, and commanded fellowship over the years, as a result of Satan getting to them, I can understand the beginnings and midst of that.  I can also see that Satan has caused dissention, confusion, unrest, conflict, anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, and other kinds of sin.  Galatians 5:19-21. 

I clearly see Satan is embodied by many in America, and very obviously in a man, Donald Trump.  The Electoral College will be voting for this man and is moving forward to advance him as the next President of the United States of America.  And the reality of that TERRIFIES me.  It should also terrify you, despite our  directive and commitment to trust in the Lord.   

Have you read about the end times in the Bible?

I clearly do NOT understand how 'religious, evangelical, Americans can possibly have promoted, supported, and voted for, as well as a few acted as general counsel for, a man such as Donald Trump.

For years I listened to and respected Kenneth Copeland.  I saw a news clip of him promoting Donald Trump, stating that those who don't vote for him, and who vote for Hillary Clinton are responsible for killing babies.  His expression and verbiage were clearly that of a madman.  I was so taken aback, I could not even speak.  I am still speechless regarding what I saw.  And interestingly enough, my TV screen went dead, and has not worked since.  God ceased the evil coming into my home.  

I likened Kenneth Copeland's outburst to that of Oral Robert's event when he locked himself in his (not God's) tower and said he was to commit suicide if he did not receive 1 million dollars in tithing or donations. Yes, really.

I cannot begin to express fully how shocked, and then downtrodden, I felt by what was betrayal to God , Jesus, Holy Spirit by Kenneth Copeland.  Even I felt betrayed, duped.

Many years I was grateful for Kenneth's and Gloria's Biblical insights of God's truth.  Only occasionally could I find discrepancies, and, they were usually associated with election years regarding who he believed should be voted into office for the President of the United States of America.

By the people, for the people, not for one's own agendas.

I have always been silent from the pulpit on this.  NO MORE.  I see the inherent value in stating my political and Christian beliefs this year.  I am appalled that people who CALL themselves Christians do not see the truths foundationally present in Galatians 5.  Anyone can clearly see emphatically, categorically, the parallels between good Hillary and evil Donald.  And yet, MANY have been led astray as Satan further uses Christians in his division of America and the world.

According to the political vote in America, there are a lot of people choosing evil, but alas, good still out numbers bad, and Hillary will always outshine Donald.  The peoples' votes prove this.  If there is corruption in voting - silly to say 'if' - it was obviously done by Donald  Trump's assigns.

I do not know how the Electoral College will vote, but I pray with everything in me, they will reverse their pending vote.  If they do not, the whole world will never be the same and we may never survive the fall off this precipice. 

PLEASE DO NOT SAY GOD HAS A PLAN WITH THIS.  THIS IS NOT....NOT....GOD'S PLAN.  THIS IS MOST ASSUREDLY SATAN'S, AND WE ARE LETTING HIM SUCCEED.  STOP LETTING HIM CONFUSE  YOU.  IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN,  YOU MUST FOLLOW GOD'S WORD.  WHAT PART OF THE WORD SAYS TO LET SATAN RULE YOU????????????????  READ GALATIANS 5 AGAIN.......PLEASE.   

In todays reading, Acts 14:21-25, I see Hillary Clinton as she goes forth in Christ's light.  Then I see how new meaning is given to 'tribulations' as seen through the decisions of Donald Trump and his 'army'.  He has chosen 'delicates' - not delegates - in ineffectual decision making capacities who will not get in his way, but is shown as a dangled string of positive, amidst the pomises of others who he has chosen who will....will....be destructive decision makers in the long haul.

Christians in America, in the world, PRAY!

Find again the faith of God, Jesus, Holy Spirit.  Read your Bibles, especially the New Testament.  Be reminded of all you were taught in the beginning of your faith walk.  Remember how you are supposed to walk, live, breathe, and have your being in God, Jesus, Holy Spirit?  If you have sinned, are sinning - STOP!  ASK for forgiveness.  PRAY that God will forgive you, and Jesus will still accept you.  See John 15.  If you have not been baptised with the Holy Spirit, ask him into your life now. Start all over again and hope.  There are promises in God's hope.

Christian brothers and sisters, start praying over those appointed to political office.  We must NOT let Satan win, devour what God, Jesus, Holy Spirit has established.  Donald Trump is like the prowling fowler.  His assigns, equally so.

Appoint elders in your churches who will have as their primary focus, prayer over the people in the churches they are a part of AND who will pray over all elected officials of our land - all lands in the world.  And, as Paul and Barnabas prayed, you, yourselves should pray over those elders and elected officials, including your Pastor....most especially your Pastor.

RIGHT NOW, pray that the tide turns, Christian, Hillary Clinton will be affirmed by the Electoral College vote as the next President of the United States of America, so we can rest assured of a peaceful nation once again, and work even harder to insure we really are all ONE in Christ Jesus, that our brothers' and sisters' burdens are not heavy, and those that are will be carried by the rest.  *

Pray in this way; with fasting, and turn them over to the care of the Lord in whom you should have been and most assuredly MUST trust now.

Share this message, and that of  FREEDOM in Christ Jesus to all.   Share it near and far.  We CANNOT rest.  We must not give up hope, nor give in to Satan, neither Donald Trump, nor people like them.

Only in God, Jesus, Holy Spirit should you always trust, breathe, and have your being.

"There is salvation in no one else!  There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them."  That person is Jesus, the Christ, Savior and Lord over your life, if you choose him.  Acts 4:12   

Those who belong to Christ and obey him will live.   Pray that Jesus will send you the Counselor, the Spirit of Truth.   John 15:26  Then tell others about Jesus, so they, too may be saved.

Let not this be YOUR end time, or THE end times.  Rise to a greater glory.  "We must obey God rather than human authority."  Acts 5:29

*  As of now (12/22/16 at date of input), the Electoral College has voted to keep Donald Trump in position for the next President of the United States of America.  The battle is not over.  Do not lose hope.  Keep fighting.  Truth and Light will....WILL....prevail.  BELIEVE!  PRAY!  ACT on that belief!  And remember always that the Trinity: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, is ALWAYS with you, if you receive God, Jesus, Holy Spirit today, either for the first time, or being renewed.

****

Hillary Rodham Clinton, thank you for being you.

Thank you for all you've done, and all you will do in the future, for the American people and all those in the world.

William Jefferson Clinton, I thank you, as well.  Now you can continue the foundation work.  Enjoy the silver lining.

May God continue to bless you both always....and bless us all with you both for a long time to come.  

Onward, Christian Soldiers!

In Jesus' name I pray. 

Amen

  Let Us Pray

Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, grant us your grace.  Forgive us.  Heal us.  Help us to be ONE with you and one another.  Hear our prayers.  Create a miracle in America, especially in our political arena.  And most importantly after forgiveness, keep us all safe in the world.  In Jesus' name I pray, by and with the power of the Holy Spirit, to Heavenly Father God.  Amen.   I praise you!  I thank you!  I love you!  May all people in the world do the same.  Amen.  

***

****  Please note:  It matters not whether someone is Democrat or Republican to me as long as they love and accept everyone with a whole heart and work for the betterment of all.  Historically, whch faction  that is seems to be debatable.  Personally, I seem to find more adherence to Galatians 5 with Democrats.  CERTAINLY RIGHT NOW in U.S. Politics.

****  Also, please realize, as President of the U.S., there are times when 'certain unalienable rights', or commonly called 'equal rights', may not square with the black and white print of the Holy Bible, but....BIG but....inherent within God's, and Jesus', and Holy Spirit's intent are indeed 'equal rights', with a very strong portion of love and acceptance.  Remember this:  "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"  Jesus said, "Do this and you will live!"  Brothers and Sisters, every religion believes this in one form or another.  While giving love, accept and receive.   Also, consider this:  ask yourself what JESUS said on different topics.  Everybody had an opinion in the Bible, just like you and me.  But not EVERY thing spoken is God's, Jesus' or Holy Spirit's stance, so much as a belief system handed down through families, just like you and I have received.....right or wrong.  Read your New Testament to learn how to live under the NEW LAW of life....and love.

Let us hear from Paul as he prays:  

When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.  And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him.  May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.  Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now glory be to God!  By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.  May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages.  Amen.  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT

  One last thing....

Jesus' Prayer of Thanksgiving

'The Unforced Rhythms of Grace'

"Abruptly Jesus broke into prayer:  "Thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.  You've concealed your ways from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people.  Yes, Father, that's the way you like to work."

Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly.  "The Father has given me all these things to do and say.  This is a unique Father - Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge.  No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does.  But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen."

"Are you tired?  Worn out?  Burned out on religion?  Come to me.  Get away with me and you'll recover your life.  I'll show you how to take a real rest.  Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it.  Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.  I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn how to live freely and lightly.

Matthew 11:  25-30

  The Message

And the people said,

"Amen."

I now write most prayers in the position of ' I ' (first person) because most people are sitting at their computer alone, not in groups, and it allows those reading and praying to personalize the prayer as coming from them going to God.  Variations may appear on holidays when families may wish to use the prayer provided.  I encourage you to pray your own prayers as well.
