How Well Do You Know God?

“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord,” And My servant whom I have chosen. That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.” -Isa 43:10 (NKJV)

The God of my life, the God of this blog, the God of all Creation is the God of the Bible – of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I am not talking about any false gods, i.e. Allah, worshiped by many and also claimed by many to refer to Almighty God. No this is not the case! You see, I am talking about the one and only true God, the God defined in the Bible and alone is the one that everyone will bow their knee to when they see Him – Phil 2:10. This I want to clarify and make absolutely clear since there are many today that assert that Almighty God has become universal and a common name for many gods. This is not the case as salvation is found in no other name – Acts 4:12.

Our fast-paced culture today is filled with high tech gadgets that help us communicate better and make our lives easier. Or so we think. We use our cell phones to communicate with others, we text and email with passion and fervor, but is all this really that good? Or are we learning less and less about one another? Avoiding personal interaction for the nuances and convenience of high-tech living? How many of us stop and smell the flowers these days? How many take time to just listen to the wind flowing through the trees on a warm summers day? Probably not many. Instead we are constantly in motion from work to home, eating, shopping, sports, TV, exhaustion and finally sleep and the cycle just keeps repeating. With our lives in a continuous spin and our personal touch relegated to electronic bits and bytes, do we take a time out from the flurry of everyday life to talk to our Creator God? If not, why not?

How well do you know God right now today? Or more appropriate, how well do you want to know God? Do you spend any time alone, you know, just you and Him? Do you have a ‘prayer closet’ (Matt 6:6) where you go to speak and seek His face? Or do you just say a few words in your car (with your radio on, half listening to the music or news) on your way to work or at lunch while munching down a burger? My friends, we should desire with utmost urgency to know who the God of the Bible is, His character, His ways, His love and mercy, His position in our lives. Where does He fit in and if so, where? We must spend time with Him every day, alone with no distractions, silently just speaking to Him from our heart. Worshiping Him, praising Him, loving Him. Also telling Him our needs, desires and wants. Share with Him like you would with a close personal friend. He wants you to. BTW, do you know the Lord’s prayer? Where it is in the Bible, and what does it mean personally to you? This was the only prayer that Jesus taught to His disciples and should be an example for and to us. A pattern of prayer encompassing: worship, praise, supplication, forgiveness, direction, leading and protection.

The Lord’s Prayer

“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen” -Matt 6:9-13 (NKJV)

Knowing one another requires personal communication with them – one-on-one and face-to-face. We know our parents because we have spent much time with them growing up. All the more, to know God requires that we spend quality time with Him, learning about Him through reading the Bible … daily. Start simple – from say, one verse to multiple chapters but grow in this daily! If you claim to be a Christian and do not read His word then you will not know Him completely. We have many Christian Bibles and resources here in the Western world and therefore we have no excuses not to have access to His word. Folks, we need to know God now more than ever. The time of His coming is growing close and as such we must endeavor to seek Him with fervent prayer, thanksgiving and supplication – Phil 4:6. I urge you today to get to know God Almighty more intimately, more intensely, more sincerely. Pour out your hearts to Him, He will hear you for He desires your fellowship more than you could ever know. Amen.

Coram Deo

A Flood of Spiritual Darkness is Starting to Cover America

Bible Prophecy Commentary – Darkness Covering America:

America is morphing into a strange and different nation, one that is not under Almighty God anymore, composed of more Godless people than ever before in a land filled with blatant in-your-face sin. We are distorting into something dark, nasty with hate as our motivator, our partner and guide. An evil wickedness is covering this nation that once had its light shining bright for the values of God and the Bible. People once knew God but now God is being tossed aside in favor of man doing it ‘his’ way – Judges 25:26. Our national leadership is waning and there is great uncertainty, turbulence and unrest in our land. Agitations are running high and men are throwing ‘spears of words’ back and forth at one another. This is not normal but dark and evil. The unseen rulers, principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places – Eph 6:12 – are gaining immense ground in this land. The forces of darkness are blinding many to what is plain to those that know and study their Bible.

“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” -2 Cor 4:4 (KJV)

There is increasing turmoil in our government and public lives – we are moved in ways that are strange and evil. Peace is being removed and our society is being destroyed from the inside out. And many have no clue that this is happening. i.e. God’s Biblical marriage precepts are being scrapped in favor of homosexual interpersonal relationships. And these are being raised as the new monument to a wicked unrighteous generation of God despisers and God haters. Sexual immorality and abortion are also being touted as normal and accepted by our warped way of thinking. All this and more is spinning America into a backward, chaotic and confused land. We have lost our moral compass in Christ completely and embraced Godlessness. We are now entertaining the darkness brought in by everything opposed to Godly beliefs, morals and attitudes. All this is prophesied in the latter days and friends it will worsen.

These are like the Days of Noah and Lot. Please consider these things carefully and prayerfully. Seek the Lord while He may be found.

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ” -Luke 17:26-28 (KJV)

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem – Psa 122:6 (KJV)

“The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.” – E. M. Bounds

Bible Prophecy Commentary – Shaking:

When you try and get your mind around the few articles above you’ll notice that there seems to be a worldwide shaking going on – Heb 12:26 – both in the natural and spiritual realms. These shakings are manifesting in earthquakes and volcanoes and societal such as I have listed in the post title. I think we are experiencing both to almost extreme degrees.

“For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts.” -Hag 2:6-7 (NKJV)

.

The Lord has said several times that He will shake the world – both the nations and the earth – as the days progress to His return. (Scriptures listed.) Hear His word folks, the things we are seeing and hearing are not just status quo, not normal but out of control, extreme and unprecedented. If you think that I am just dreaming this up or am sensationalizing ‘regular’ world events then by all means form your own opinion but read the news first. Then study God’s word and compare what is written and what is occurring throughout this earth – Hag 2:6-7.

“See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,
26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven” -Heb 12:26 (NKJV)

His return is near and we should be preparing in our hearts, minds and souls. Whether you believe this or not makes no difference to the reality of His coming. So what do we do? Prepare by getting His word out to as many souls as possible. Salvation and eternal life is free – bought and paid for by Jesus’ death burial and resurrection. Prepare by bolstering your faith and trust in Christ by reading, studying and praying. Seek His face like never before becoming Biblically literate and knowledgeable in what His word says. In this way, we can determine and identify the truth from lies and deceit. Deception and deceit will run rampant in the days leading up to His return (Matt 24:5,11,24) and many will be deceived and fall from the faith – 1 Tim 4:1. Get ready friends, with every day we draw closer to His second coming.

“Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the Lord of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger.” -Isa 13:13 (NKJV)

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem – Psa 122:6 (KJV)

PERILOUS TIMES IN THE LAST DAYS!

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. -2 Tim 3:1-5 (KJV)
