CLIMATE WILL CHANGE— NOT MAN-MADE, BUT GOD DIRECTED! The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.  The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds. —Revelation 16:8-11             There is coming a time when climate change will occur…

OVERCOMERS IN JESUS! And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. —Revelation 12:11 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is…

THIS AGE WILL END… And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets. —Revelation 10:5-7             When we talk about Jesus coming back again, there are always those who mock…

LOVING DARKNESS/EVIL MORE THAN LIGHT/RIGHTEOUSNESS By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.  For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound. The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their…

ACKNOWLEDGE THE GLORY, HONOR AND POWER OF JESUS! “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” —Revelation 4:11             Our Lord is “to receive glory and honor and power.”  Why is this so?  It is because He has created all things.  It is by His will they exist and it is by His will they were created.  And in the beginning He said of His creation— “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good” (Genesis 1:31).  Then sin entered the human race through Adam and Eve…

I AM FREE! To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. —Revelation 1:5-6             “Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so.”  These words from the children’s song are not just for children, but for all people— “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).  God so loves us that He sent Jesus to do a work that would…

JESUS WILL HAVE THE FINAL WORD! “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” —Jude 1:14-15 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and…

TRUE LOVE By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. —I John 5:2-3  And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. —II John 1:6 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. —II John 1:9             Faithful obedience…

YOU ARE EITHER RIGHTEOUS OR WICKED But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. —I John 3:17-18 The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives. —Psalm 37:21             These verses above are very clear.  The wicked— they borrow and there is nothing wrong with that.  But, they do not repay what they borrowed and shows they are wicked.  They are actually thieves—stealing and using what is another’s for their personal…

LOVE’S DIRECTION Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. —I John 2:15-17             Do you love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind?  And do you love your neighbor as yourself?  These are the two great commandments Jesus gave us…
