An Awakening

America doesn’t need revival. Revival is something, according to Greg Laurie, that actually is believers returning to the Lord. An awakening, is when people who do not know Christ at all, they come to Him, and are born again. My awakening happened in 2003, at Billy Graham, right before I joined the Navy. Carol went with me, and we both became Christians that day. I had Christ in my life. According to Robert Jeffress, the Holy Spirit enters the believer immediately. But I disagree. Because, I remember living a certain way, before the Holy Spirit entered my life.

The Holy Spirit convicted me, about my lifestyle. He did not allow the drinking, partying, non-Christian music anymore. So, I got rid of those things. Let me explain- I still tried going out- even in recent years. But always with the same empty feeling. So, I believe GOD does not want me drinking right now. So, I abstain from alcohol. Except- that on occasion, I have a shot of Wild Turkey, for Bert. It would also be an honor to drink a beer, with my brother who is a firefighter!

Today, I need to take my car in and get the oil changed. I am running out of money, to be honest. But I believe I need to prioritize my car. I love my apartment, but I suspect I will lose it. Nevertheless, I have hope, so I will use my resources to take care of my car. My car is a Honda Civic 2007. So, it is an older car, and needs to be taken car of.

I am currently, listening to John MacArthur. He is discussing the coming of the demons. AN invasion of them. Which I think has already started. The demons are here, we just can’t see them. But they are up to no good. There is only one who can fight the demons- JESUS. Otherwise, we are down to prayers and fasting.

I am also drinking coffee. Black. I drink coffee, and smoke cigarettes. Cigarettes are a dirty habit, and its getting expensive too. I hope GOD will guide me, to give up smoking. I don’t like it, but sometimes I do enjoy it. I have to admit that. Every now and then, I have a smoke I enjoy. I met Bert, in the smoke pit, for instance of CTF-72!

I talked to my cousin Ethan, about smoking. I told him, I wish Adam would have gone, and taught me to roll cigarettes, not to buy them. In Florida the cigarettes were cheap. Anywhere else, there expensive. Actually, the cigarettes ARE cheap, but they heap taxes on them. They need to use that money, to build smoke pits, I think.

Dr. David Jeremiah shared a passage from scripture yesterday. I wrote it down, about prayer:

Colossians 4:2-6 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; meanwhile praying also for us, that GOD would open to us a door for the word to speak the mystery of Christ.

This means we need to pray. Lately, I have heard people say, that we ought not to be praying. But both JESUS, and Paul say, you are wrong. We need to “Pray without ceasing”. See, how GOD comes alive, in Paul’s writings, I think. That is why he exhorts us to pray. Because GOD is not dead, he is surely alive. Baal is dead, JESUS is alive! Amen Hallelujah!!! We need to look to scripture though, when we pray. Because those who look to scripture, and pray the scriptures, its more likely that, from His glorious riches, GOD will answer their prayers. Yes, I believe GOD is a rewarder of those who seek Him- that is what it says in the Bible. That is why He wants us to seek Him out- so He might reward us. I think, the best place to discover what it means to find GOD, is in the Psalms. King David found GOD, and you can see GOD took care of him- yet even King David, a man after GOD’s own heart, still had doubts. BUT, David would still praise the LORD. That is proof- He is good.

SOme people talk about the tribulation, as if it is something in the future. But actually, the tribulation began the moment JESUS left this planet. Which is why Israel, and the Persecuted Church, are suffering. They suffer, for the sake of the gospel. There is a history, to Israel, and the Church. But right now they are divided- because of the Persecution, you see. BUT when, JESUS returns, He will unite Israel and the Church. Currently, I believe History divides Israel and the Persecuted Church. Hold your horses though- what we will see during the End Times, is the Great Tribulation. This will surpass the suffering of the last 2000 years, by the Jews, and the Persecuted Church. I believe, it is not far off.

We can see how Islam is growing in power. I believe the democratic-socialists are going to use Islam, to instigate there “revolution”. Don’t take the bait! Hold fast in our LORD. If we endure, we shall inherit a crown from Him! He will wipe away all tears. There will be no suffering. Look to JESUS! Forever and ever amen!!!

This is a quote from Tim Tebow:

” Real strength doesn’t need to prove itself.”

See, how we don’t have to show how strong we are. We can trust GOD that we ARE strong enough- that we have the strength we need. Look to how Israel is fighting, everyday for its freedom- to there credit, the Israelis never give up. I believe GOD is directing, for His purposes, the forces of Israel in this fight. Meanwhile, those who stand with Israel, suffer as well, and must fight the enemy. But our fighting, as I said before, is down to prayer and fasting. These are our weapons! We must be alert, as we do so. We cannot mope about, as we fast. According to JESUS, we need to carryout our day, as we fast. If we pray and fast in secret, GOD will reward us openly.

You see me talk about GOD. Maybe you think he is a myth? I can testify to the power of GOD, tremendously, in my life. I don’t even know why. Melissa says, I am a prophet. I wanted to ask, “What kind of prophet?” There are false prophets, prophets of doom, and prophets who claim to be, but are not. If you are an apostle, or a prophet, and your message contradicts what GOD has written in the Bible, then you will stand condemned. But take heart- look to Him, and He will guide you, just as He did Peter and Paul, I believe. Well, is GOD a myth? I will let you decide!!!

I love this song. They used to play it a lot on KCBI. But I found it on YouTube. It is by the Newsboys! Enjoy. The Peace of Christ be upon you!!!
