Trouble Is Coming
Trouble Is Coming

Prophecy has a near and a far meaning and in these scriptures maybe an intermediate meaning. For on 9/11/2001 we saw men and women weeping, there was trouble and distress, buildings (high towers) were destroyed. There were clouds of smoke from fires and the falling buildings. The skies over New York City were filled with ash and dust clouds, It is easy to see the comparison. But this was not the Day of the Lord. 9/11 will pale in comparison to that day. Be ready to go and be with the Lord and according to scripture you won’t have to worry about the day of wrath

The Lord Uses The Unlikely
The Lord Uses The Unlikely

So the next time you think God can’t use you just remember these and know if God can use them, He can use you as well. Really we have no more excuses. He will qualify you if He calls you and remember you are just a carrier of His message and if you deliver it, you have done that which you were called to do.

Gomer left Hosea and took up with other lovers and finally found herself in slavery. Hosea went and bought her back. God has taken Israel back time and time again.

Are You Willing To Go
Are You Willing To Go

This is a question that each of us must answer for ourselves, I cannot answer for you and neither can you answer for me. If you are in Christ there is a call for you to go somewhere for Him. It may only be to your family and friends, or it could be to your community or workplace. It may even be that you have been called to the ministry and are sent to a place outside of where you know or are known. You may be called to preach the gospel or to be a foreign missionary. Whatever it may be you can be sure if Christ saved you along with salvation comes a call.
