It’s OK, I’m Right Here

One of my closest and dearest friends sent me a video of her two grandbabies, little girls. One is four and the other will be one in November. The oldest one is holding her baby sister while she drinks her bottle. She sings, “Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky, twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are.” The baby starts to sit up, but the older sister says, “Shh. Lay back down. It’s ok, I’m right here!” How precious is that?

I had been talking to Bob about the end times and things that are going on in the world. Then my friend Charisse called, and we had a conversation almost always about the Lord, this conversation was no different. I told her about a young missionary who spoke at Church yesterday. He and his family are going to be missionaries to France. He gave some statistics which show, that one, in one hundred actually live the Christian life. Then he showed a graph of the US and said, about twenty-six, in one hundred, practice their faith in Jesus and live a Christian life. I was so sad when I saw that. “Twenty-Six out of One Hundred?” That was shocking! I was like, Dear Jesus only 26 people out of 100, it should be more like 99 out of 100!

How far we have fallen and don’t seem to be getting up!! If twenty-six out of one hundred were actually doing what Jesus has called us to do…then that number should be growing exponentially! No wonder the country is in the mess it’s in!!!

Who will go? Who will preach the good news? Who will live the life so that others will come to repentance and live a life pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ??

Lord, help me! Help us! Open blinded eyes to see, open deaf ears to hear your Spirit and your truth. Send conviction and repentance. We cry out for Revival but what we need is a blood transfusion, the blood of Jesus was not shed in vain!! Help us to bow before you and ask to be forgiven for believing lies. We are lulled to sleep by the lust of the eyes, the pride of life and the lust of the flesh!! Help us to be soul winners not soul whiners!

HELP US GOD TO WAKE UP!

We the American people are deceived and being deceived by the enemy not seen in the physical. Open our spiritual eyes to see through the façade…wake us up out of this hypnotic and delusional, self-seeking, not wanting to offend, sleepwalk!

Shake us awake Oh God…let your Holy Spirit and Fire, set ablaze the hearts of men, women, boys and girls to come alive and shout from the streets, to raise up dead churches, lifeless ministers who preach sweet nothings to the ear, but are full of dead men’s bones, those who will tell of a Hell fire and brimstone that is real where the worm never dies, so that souls will once again seek you in righteousness and holiness and speak to hurting, lost, souls. Let us become bold and courageous that we will not be afraid of what man can do to us but what God can do. Not in condemnation…but in Spirit and in Truth! Be warned the Bible is not a fairy tale. It is the very breath of God given by inspired men, spoken in mystery but tell what is to come on the earth! People WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

People think everything is just fine, as long as it doesn’t affect them there’s no need to worry or be concerned… that’s exactly what the devil wants us to believe!!! Shake yourself and return to your First Love! Fast and Pray! Be Alert! No longer bury your head in the sand. We escape to social media for a make-believe life. We may go to church and even stand and worship but when it’s over we go back to our unfulfilled, hurting, stressed out lives but don’t let anyone see the truth! It’s called living in denial.

If you’re one of the 26 in 100 who is living out your faith, God bless you and keep you and give you peace to witness for Jesus and be soul winners for Him. To the other 74 people, listen, I know you think Christians are hypocrites. They say one thing but live another. Is it better to live an ungodly life, and then die and go to a burning hell, all because you were deceived into judging someone you thought was fake. Will you let the lies of the enemy deceive you which will cause you to end up with him for all eternity? A place more horrible than your worst nightmare~ scarier than a Steven King book! Where the worm never dies, and your thirst is never quenched! Where the burning of your soul never stops burning and no help will ever come!

Forget about what someone else is doing, Jesus wants Your heart! You come follow him. He loves you. He died for You!

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:16-17 King James Version

And when you are converted, strengthen others. Go into all the world, the world around you and live the God life Jesus wants you to live. Be a soul winner! Be sold out, blood bought, no holds barred because children of God and those reading…Jesus will return! Maybe not today or tomorrow but it will happen. Live truth! Walk by faith and in Spirit and truth! Jesus is calling You; will you follow?

Then, Jesus will say, It’s OK, I’m right here!

²⁰ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20 King James Version

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.

¹⁹ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

²⁰ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

²¹ Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³ And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

²⁴ Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

²⁵ Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

²⁶ For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

²⁷ And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

²⁸ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.

²⁹ Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

³⁰ Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹ Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

³² Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:18-32 King James Version
