It Is Time To Pray in Earnst and Seek The Face of GOD

A dark and heavy spiritual pressure is seemingly building week by week and I sometimes succumb to the continual onslaught and find my myself crying out to my Lord and Savoir "please come soon." When this happens I stop the building process and find a chair, box, step-ladder anything with a flat spot and sit myself down and begin to pray.

The last time this happened was last week and it was so overwhelming that I began to shake and the tears rolled down my cheeks and soaked my shirt. Why did this happen? I was having a great day doing remodelling work to my house, the tile is getting done faster the wall preparations for paint (lots of wallpaper in this house), new cabinet doors, sheet rock going up smoothly and mudded everything was going just fine when I was hit by this overwhelming pressure of sadness as it enveloped me and physically pushed me to the ground.

As prayed asking the Lord to hear my pray I recieved nothing, no little voice, no infilling of gladness and happiness, no great lifting of my heart but rather a deeper and deeper sadness. Why? I asked why is this happening to me is it the dark forces around me tryng to bring me low and make me miserable? Part of the problem was as I precieved and then I hear and see in my minds eye the wordly secular condition of my country and our people and the world and her people all seemingly caught up in the world's day to day living around them and never looking to GOD. It was like holding a rope only to finally notice the rope getting smaller. Of coarse not everyone is in this sad state of affairs, there are many brothers and sisters in the WORD that are living a wonderful and loving exisistence where GOD comes first and they live day to day and seek only that which is pleasing to the LORD but they know what is pleasing to GOD because they study HIS WORD and seek his face and counsel every moment of everyday.

I see so many more people , young and old, who do not seek GOD through HIS WORD and through prayer and this has caused a dimming of the spiritual skies above me and around me, not a visible thing most days but some days the oppression is as thick as a fog and heavy like a wet blanket on my spirit and soul. When this occurs I am compelled to fall to my knees and prayer overtakes me and I ask why?, well, the answer I hear most often is "because they need it".

Then I always ask, "When are you are retuning to this world? When will the people see you are who you say you are? When will this darkness be vanquished and blinders removed and ears opened?" and the answer I hear is "SOON"

Each passing day this world produces another shock or surprize that will shake your faith but do not allow yourselves to fall in a downward spiral of deception for those are tools of the devil. GOD is here and JESUS is standing at the gates of Heavens awaiting that day soon when HE and and HIS angels will gather together HIS people and remove us from harms way, just as HE did for Noah and Lot. Be faithful and hear HIS WORD and see HIS works, for you are surround by HIS glory and never truly see it all, take time to be with HIM and HE will strengthen your soul and spirit.

What is happening in the world is just water beginning to boil and it is moving about the things upon the surface, a louder warning is coming and soon the world will begin to wonder. We who are under HIS cloak have nothing to fear for fear cannot exist where there is HIS light and that light is showing us a great door soon to be opened and the path beyond leads us back to Garden where a great feast will be held.

May GOD Bless you all and fill your hearts with awe and wonder and always consider how HE has blessed each and everyone of you for you are a miracle to behold.

If you know the Bible this will help you understand End Times Prophecy

I know I mentioned Jewish Feasts and Holy Days so here is a little synopsis of what they currently are and is based on the foods.

 I will do another Feast Day overview so you can see where these days fit into the prophetic picture of Old Testament and New Testament but I must get my 1959 F100 back on the road first.

Shabbat

Shabbat is considered the most important of all Jewish holidays. It is the day of rest and weekly observance of God's completion of creation. Starting on Friday night an hour before sunset, it lasts for 25 hours until sunset on Saturday night.

Rosh Hashanah

During the fall when the days begin to shorten and the leaves begin to change, Jewish tradition encourages us to look inward as we prepare for the New Year ahead. The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) is a holiday marked by festive meals with foods symbolizing our hopes for the new year—such as apples dipped in honey for a sweet new year and pomegranates for a year of plenty—and a day spent in prayer or quiet meditation.

Yom Kippur

The most solemn day of the Jewish year, Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement offers an entire day devoted to self–examination. Many spend the day in synagogue devoted to prayer and study while abstaining from food and drink. The goal is to begin the New Year with a clean slate.

Sukkot

This seven–day festival celebrates the fall harvest and also commemorates the time when the Hebrews dwelt in the Sinai wilderness on their way to the Promised Land of Israel. The holiday is celebrated by building (and then dwelling in) ceremonial huts called Sukkot, waving of four different plant species (palm, myrtle, willow and citron), and many food-filled festive gatherings in the Sukkah.

Shemini Atzeret

This holiday literally means the “8th day of assembly.” It is a festive day after the week-long festival of Sukkot, and is marked by the annual prayer for rain recited in synagogue. In Israel and in liberal (Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal) communities outside of Israel it is combined with the holiday of Simchat Torah.

Simchat Torah

Simchat Torah marks the end and the beginning of the annual Torah reading cycle. Every week all over the world, the same Torah portion is read in Jewish communities. On Simchat Torah the cycle ends and begins again. This is accompanied by parading the Torah scrolls about and with singing and dancing.

Hanukkah

This beloved 8–day Jewish winter festival celebrates the miracle of a small cruse of oil when it burned for 8 days, instead of only one. It also celebrates the military victory of the Jewish Maccabees over the powerful Syrian Greek army in 167 BCE. The victory was followed by a rededication (Hanukkah) of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. It is from this act that the holiday gets its name.

Tu B’Shevat

This is the Jewish New Year of the Trees. Observances include planting of trees, purchasing trees to be planted in Israel, and a mystical Tu B'Shevat ritual meal that includes different colored wine (from white to red) and different kinds of fruits and nuts.

Hamentashen Purim

The name of this holiday means “lots”, so named for the lots that were drawn to determine a dark day in Jewish history. As luck would have it, those dark days never arrived, as the evil villian's plans were thwarted by the clever Jewish Queen Esther, whose story is recounted in the Biblical Scroll of Esther. Celebrations include a public reading of the scroll, giving gifts to friends and to the needy, dressing up in costume, eating a special triangle-shaped pastry, the hamantaschen, and the drinking of alcohol for those of drinking age.

Matzah Passover

This seven or eight day festival of freedom marks the Hebrew exodus from Egypt long ago. The story is told during a festive ritual meal called a “Seder.” During the festival, it is traditional to abstain from all foods containing leaven; that is, foods made from grain that have not been prepared according to a strict Passover cooking procedure. Among the grain foods that are permitted is matzah, an unleavened bread that is baked before it has a chance to rise.

Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day)

Jews all over the world mourn the loss of six million Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust as part of Hitler's genocidal “Final Solution.”

Yom HaZikaron (Israeli Memorial Day)

On this Memorial Day, we commemorate the soldiers who have fallen fighting for Israel’s independence and defending its security. This holiday falls the day before Israel's Independence Day.

Yom HaAtzmaut (Israeli Independence Day)

This holiday celebrates the independence of the Modern State of Israel. In Israel the day of Yom HaAtzmaut is marked with fireworks, barbeques, and outdoor revelry. For Jewish communities outside of Israel it is a time to gather and celebrate our pride and connection to the Jewish homeland.

Lag B’Omer

This holiday marks the 33rd day of the 49-day “Omer” period between Passover and Shavuot. This 7 week period called “the Omer” is traditionally a quiet time on the Jewish calendar, but Lag B’Omer, which occurs on the 33rd day is an exception. Bonfires, outdoor parties and revelry rule the day, which is also a popular Jewish wedding date.

Shavuot

Shavuot is the holiday celebration of the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people. The celebration of Shavuot is also the Festival of First Fruits and Grains, a fulfillment of the promise of spring. The name means “weeks”, so named for the 7-week period from Passover to Shavuot.

Tisha B’Av

An important fast day in the Jewish calendar is Tisha B’Av, the 9th day of the Hebrew month of Av. The day commemorates the destruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE and 70 CE.

Tu B’Av

Held six days after the fast day of Tisha B’Av comes a festival of love! A popular wedding date, the day is celebrated in the best way possible with wine, chocolate and roses!

America's Future is Written and Available

I don't know if everyone here knows that I have studied the Bible since I was a puppy, so it would be a good guess that I am a Christian. My studies have revealed more and more jaw dropping truths over the past few years, an indication that the curtain is slowly being pulled back to reveal so much more than we have ever known about how the Bible works. You have heard that bad things in history will repeat if history isn't studied and understood and the people are forewarned. The same thing applies to the Bible but on an imminently larger scale that involves all people, believers and non-believers alike. As a nation we have reached a new level of descent away from our countries founding principles, ideals and respect of God. We have had two important events over the past 12 years that were meant to awaken us and send us back to our original beliefs, we have ignored these warnings. In fact, as a nation we have moved further away from God and deeper into the arms of Humanism which is anti-God. God has always shown great patience when trying to turn a people around but that patience does not extend without end. American politicians are the representatives of the people and therefore the voice of the nation. When they repeated a scripture from Isaiah on national TV 3 different times in relation to answering the attacks of 2001 and the economic catastrophe exactly 7 years later they were repeating a curse.  Thinking it was a nice little passage from the Bible that seemed to have some relevance to current events they spoke without understanding and with total ignorance of what the words actually meant. They didn't understand the context and that it was the nation of Israel’s leader’s publicly stating that they turned their backs on God and stubbornly trusted in their own power, the power of Humanism.  Both Republican's and Democrat's repeated this curse without knowing what they were saying but they were challenging God, although inadvertently it was never the less an open and public statement and the voice of the nation. The road America the road we have travelled for 40 years or more and it is a destructive collision course. The only reprieve possible know is a nationwide revival and turning back to God as an entire nation which we all know will never happen in this day and new age of what the Aleister Crowley is quoted as saying was the new age mantra, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." The nation has chosen this path will have to live and die with it. I should tell you here that everything that has occurred is EXACTLY and I mean EXACTLY down to each action and each word as recorded in the Bible. If you want to know what happens next it is all in the book of Isaiah. I don't really don’t expect anyone care any longer, a harden heart can be impenetrable but not unknown to have happened. These days are exactly as they were in the past and these challenges to God will be answered exactly as they were in the past. The future is written down for all to read and understand because the veils of secrecy have been lifted, you need only look and you will find it. God said "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge." The knowledge is an open book to all. What you do with this knowledge is up to you, my part is done.
