"...The Horrible Thing..."



Mark 13:14-23, Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11
“…Abomination that causes desolation…” or what Contemporary English Version calls “The Horrible Thing”
We are at the beginning of trouble, God’s people need not fear, and we are being called upon now to be on our guard. The good thing is that, because of His chosen ones (true believers), this time of “the horrible things” has been shortened- it is only going to be for a little while. Our anchor should hold tightly on Jesus Christ in these last days. Our fight is not against flesh and blood (Eph. 6:12). If you have never thought to pray and study the word for yourself, this is the time to start now to do so. It’s not about memorizing scriptures (though it will be nice to); it’s about feeding your spirit man, because a time is coming when what you have on the inside will come handy. If you have been feeding your spirit, be sure that the Holy Spirit will help bring all of your downloads in your database to your remembrance, when needed (Mk. 13:11).  Again, beloved, do not be afraid, for we have been given a spirit of love, power and of a sound mind (2Tim.1:7). We have been created for such a time as this, seek the face of God more than ever before, ask that His Holy Spirit possess you, because He is the only one who can make God’s heart known to you. As we focus on God, making Him our priority, He will take care of all that concerns us, He’s ever faithful to His promises. Let’s not fret like the world; we have an understanding of what is going on, so let’s keep our focus on Him who indeed warned us about the days we are in(Matt 24:15-21).


Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I want to thank you for your ever faithful love, and for always reminding us through your word, of your promise of peace. Blessed Holy Spirit of Jesus, I thank you for helping us, and giving us a teachable spirit. Thank you for your indwelling us gives us understanding into the things of God. Envelop us with the strength and ability to stay in that place of prayer, where only God can share His heart with us. Give us all, the grace to hold on to that which we believe in, that even in the face of adversities, we will tightly hold on to the Father who has promised never to leave us nor forsake us. I thank you dear Lord Jesus for your blood that speaks protection and provision for us. I use that same blood of Jesus to draw a bloodline around our hearts, and strengthen your edge of protection around our hearts, that even in the midst of chaos and confusion; we will only have our eyes on you.  Abba, by your Holy Spirit, teach us to be gentle as a dove but wise as a serpent, so that we are not deceived by the father of all lies, who can sometimes appear as an angel of light. Thank you Father for answered prayer, in the mighty name of Jesus, which is above all other names, amen.

The world awaits YOU!!!

“The whole creation waits breathless with anticipation for the revelation of God’s sons and daughters.”-Romans 8:19(CEB). Where are you, sons and daughters of the most high God, the world waits in [earnest] anticipation for your manifestation. I must bring to your awareness that now is the time for you to begin to shine forth in that which God has called you to. As the body of Christ, we need to mobilize, and come together to be able to fight against the enemy. One person cannot go at it alone, we all (the body of Christ) need each other, we need to come together in love, in one accord, with   one voice, and stop tearing each other down, as this is the only way we can be able to quieten   the enemy (devil) in his track. The devil understands the power of unity very well, so he will try every trick in his book to dissuade believers, by making them find fault in everyone, and everything in, and about the church. Do not be foolish or deceived, be mindful, and stand firm, t...

Does He Even Care?

Does He Even Care? When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” Luke 7:13 Recommended Reading: Luke 7:11-17 Her tears blurred her vision. While we do not know if she saw Jesus, she did not reach out to Him: her son was dead and needed life. She knew Jesus was a healer but what could He do for her? In the midst of her grief, Jesus saw her and He had compassion. Instead of skipping to the happy end of this story, let’s stop here: Jesus had compassion.  This simple phrase is found throughout each of the Gospels. An integral part of Jesus’ character is His compassion. Sometimes we find it easier to pray for others than for ourselves. We subconsciously wonder, why would God help me? We forget Jesus’ compassion when we get stuck in this mindset. The life-changing truth is that Jesus is good and He encourages us to ask Him for help. He never ran from disease, death, or wretchedness. While we may not understan...
