The Alzheimer’s has taken my beloved husband. . .

Who would have known his happy carefree life would take a twist in the Seasons of Life, and now “we” face the future unknown, being separated by covid and Memory Center.

I sat down to the piano, my solace in past times, a place to find peace of mind. The book on the little grand piano was opened to IN THE HOUR OF TRIAL, unpicked by me. But this song records the season of Autumn the Time of Change.

In the hour of trial, Jesus plead for me, lest by base denial I depart from Thee, When Thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor, for FEAR or FAVOR, Suffer me to fall.

With forbidden pleasures, Would this vain world charm; Or its sordid treasures spread to work me harm. Bring to my re mem brance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary.

Should Thy mercy send me sorrow, toil, and woe, or should pain attended me on my path below. Grant that I may never fail Thy hand to see, Grant that I may ever Cast My Care on Thee.

I don’t know why I crave to see “the evil” and deny it’s existence? I prefer to see the good, and the movement towards the “best” in us, as we move, up the ladder Jacob made, by fighting WITH GOD as if GOD is The enemy. And when I think of the physical fight, and the burden He shares as we suffer, I wish for all to see the Sun of Righteousness, rising in your heart, and knowing He is coming soon.

The Mark of the Beast, is a great way to say, “GOD has taken away my money” so I can lay up treasure in the Bank of Heaven. This “grief” of thinking, the poor man, without means, we understand more the life of Christ, without a home, without means wages or food to eat. Jesus brings us to “OUR CROSS” to our “LOYALTY” to GOD, in way we will NEVER FORGET, how the path to Heaven, builds our strength to live better every day, knowing HE cares, for the little sparrow.

Terry will be in a Memory Care Center this week. And I will miss him. Covid has made Nursing care very aggressive for residents in Nursing Homes.

Solomon wrote this poem to remind us:

A Time for Everything
Ecc 3:1  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 
Ecc 3:2  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 
Ecc 3:3  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 
Ecc 3:4  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 
Ecc 3:5  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 
Ecc 3:6  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 
Ecc 3:7  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 
Ecc 3:8  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 

Death, funerals, and reflection are a “time” and “season” on this earth, that angels cannot understand, because they have never lost a friend, they have never experienced the finality of death. Jesus came and did conquer “death.” Death is the enemy, because it did not exist in

Heaven before “sin” crept in. The final Trumpet will sound, and man will awaken to eternal life or eternal death, based on “who” he or she knows. And in the final reckoning, GOD will PROVE that HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and HIS PURITY, assures us of a LIFE beyond the GRAVE, because of WHAT ALL JESUS HAS DONE to prove the path to HEAVEN to all, who call upon HIS NAME.

Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

Jesus is not just some action figure, Jesus is REAL.

HIGH DESERT MEMORIES

For fourteen years I lived, worked, played and help build the High Desert School and Seventh Day Adventist Church.

The desert, The High Mojave Desert in particular, holds a certain place in my heart, where wild burros still roam and survive from the gold mining days. These tamable creatures exist and find water by pawing the sand with their front hooves. You are never over twenty miles from water in Death Valley, but it is still possible to die without water in the barren waste. The colors of the burros blend so well with landscape, it’s hard to count how many there are with a rocky background.

This sacred ground, that threatens life, springs forth a beauty and bountiful grazing ground for sheep, come spring, the wild flowers cover acres of land. And the Shepherds Hut on Wheels is somewhere to be found. But one day we saw and heard the little lamb crying as if it had no mother. And we searched for the Shepherd to help the little lamb. But he didn’t seem to care of mind about our find. He was not interested in the little lamb. The sorrowful look in our eyes, with no one who cared reminded me again and again, how GOD could feed those burros. And if God could see the little lamb, he can see you and me.

When Jesus invites us home, he calls His friends and neighbours, saying, “Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.” Luke 15:6

When Jesus spoke these words, He was talking to a company, many of whom knew by experience what a shepherd’s life is. There the flocks are not kept in level, inclose pastures, but on the hill-sides, among crags and precipices. . .

There was always the anger from robbers and wolves to be guarded against. Sometimes a sheep would stray away from the flock; so they were frequently numbered to see that none were lost, for the shepherd must give a strict account of all the sheep under his care. . . .The shepherd’s life is one full of peril. If he is a trustworthy shepherd, he will not be careless and study his own ease, but he will search for the straying sheep amid storm and tempest. . . .

This is the way the true Shepherd treats the lost sinner. He goes after him; He does not hesitate at peril, self-denial, and self sacrifice. He is intent upon bringing the sin-burdened soul to repentance, to salvation, to peace, rest, and happiness in his Saviour’s love. And it is the privilege of every one who has experienced the love of Jesus in his own heart, to think if there is not some one whom he can by personal effort, by studied tact and kindness, bring to Jesus, who is ready and willing to accept all who come to Him. We can all do much through personal effort. We can be laborers with Christ.

Life is serious. You have a large field in which to work; and persevering search for the lost sheep will be the most successful way in which you can employ your time. . . .If you can exert a saving influence over one soul, remember there is joy in heaven over the one that repented. . . .You may, by judicious effort, be the means of bringing back the lost sheep to Jesus’ fold. Sept 27, 2020

There is someone on my mind today, that might enjoy the fun of reading and filling out the little exam at the end of the reading. By being a Director of the Discover Bible School since they turned us into little Bible Schools, by giving us some Bible Studies, that begin with creation and cover the numerous topics of Jesus, I came to know the families better who lived in the desert. There is something about sitting down at someone else’s table and talking about Jesus, that revives my own soul. When I’m giving a chance to others, to learn more about their Saviour, His word, His free gift of His Holy Spirit, then I too have to stay connected to His love which is truth and LIFE.

Teachers learn from their students, and the questions they ask, cause the teacher to find “the method” that works best with that particular student. In this case, the desert, the sky, the “belly flowers” where you have to get down on your belly to see them, the huge animals that survive the climate from below, water level to the Summit of California’s highest Peak, was my learning ground.

And I never want to forget the folks that worked at the Naval Weapons Center, where 75% of the FREE WORLDS defense weapons were created. Students from our Engineering Seventh Day Adventist University in Walla Walla Washington, were working on “prevention” along with naming a missle “The Sidewinder” which is a native snake in the Mojave Desert. The lazar physics department made it possible for government workers to take their knowledge into the private sector. And there is something about the creativity of an engineer, that makes a great brain come up with ideas, that others can make into practical use.

I did learn that four missiles, like the ones used in WWII, placed in the right spot, could split Planet Earth in half. Defense is like football, if you can defend your quarterback, He can throw the pitch. With JESUS as our DEFENDER, with more knowledge that we can squeeze into our brain, it should not surprise us, that HE embedded a last day EVENT, so spectacular that NO ONE, WILL FORGET.

Moses crossed the RED SEA, and the chariots and the riders were caught by a sea, that came back to cover their tracks, horses and golden chariot wheels, for us to see, the Red Sea Crossing was REAL.

BUT taking two sinners “up” into the heavens, was a real shock to the students of the prophets. They mocked Elisha, and told the bald headed man to “go up.” Elijah left and went to heaven in a chariot but Elisha had the mockers, telling him to “GO UP” too.

This idea of two “winners”, taken to heaven in a cloudy chariots of angels, is a sight I’d like to see with my own two eyes. God Bless and have a great day. The lessons I learned while living in the desert still remind me of the great people, great talent, and great fun with the Pathfinder club when an engineer helped their little daughter build a 5 foot kite. The “wind” is notorious in the desert. The effects of the ocean being cool, and drawn to the heat and heart of the desert, on a daily basis, made me wonder if we might put our first pathfinder “IN FLIGHT.”

Being around engineers, was a constant wonder what they would be up to next. Their “inventions” took them to Washington D.C. where their success at selling something new and exciting to the congress meant they were “salesmen” too. Gifted and talented men whose wives were also educated and talented, making those fourteen years a blessing forever and a day. I can’t think of something more fun, than being with these friends in Heaven. What will they think of next? I think the years in the desert were the best years of my life, when creativity was of value, and the sky was the limit to “THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.”

I felt the conversations around the dinner table, were likely to be taken seriously. Even how to find a way to “wash” the dishes, without taking them off the table? humm…image a table flipping over…and being washed…and appearing AGAIN…all CLEAN and WASHED, as WHITE AS SNOW? The idea had a certain logic and application that seemed to be a bit spiritual. What better could we have than HEARTS WASHED from sin and find our record in heaven as WHITE AS SNOW?

Do dare to think OUT OF THE BOX….find ways and time to find yourself…buried in THE BOOK.

Every Test Necessary, Seldom Repeated

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the Fiery Furnace with ONE like the Son of God

Mal 3:1  Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 
Mal 3:2  But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: 
Mal 3:3  And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. 
Mal 3:4  Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. 

Here is the process, the refining, purifying process, to be carried on by the Lord of hosts. The work is most trying to the soul, but it is only through this process that the rubbish and defling impurities can be removed. Our trials are all necessary to bring us close to our heavenly Father, in obedience to His will, that we may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness. God has given each of us capabilities, talents to improve. We need a new and living experience in the divine life, in order to do the will of God. No amount of past experience will suffice for the present, or will strengthen us to overcome the difficulties in our path. We need must have a new GRACE and FRESH STRENGTH DAILY, in order to do the will of God.

We are seldom, in all respects, placed in the same condition twice. Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, and many others, were all sorely tried, but not in the very same way. Everyone has his individual tests and trials in the drama of life, but the very same trial seldom comes twice. Each has his or her own experience, peculiar in its character and circumstances, to accomplish a certain work. God has a work, a purpose, in the life of each and all of us. Every act, however small, has its place in our life experience. We must have the continual light and experience that come from God. We all need them, and God is more than willing we should have them, if we will take them. (RH June 22, 1886) ( I had to laugh here…seems God is willing to permit me to have the right kind of trials…so be it.)

I can feel the tension in my shoulders drop, when I read of how GOD is MORE THAN WILLING we should learn from our own peculiar, character and circumstances. I’ve heard variety is the spice of life, and mine has been well spiced. I could write a book on how “not to do it.” And today, I think I am better prepared to speak up and not shut up, when I learned it is OK to share how I feel. It is OK not to “feel” joyful when your husband says, “You should date that married man in the church.” really? How would you feel?

When I hear you say, “You should date the married man in church,” it makes me feel very sad and it is breaking the very commandment that says, “Do not covet.” hum? “Don’t even THINK of suggesting I date a married man.”

Rom_13:9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
1Co_12:31  But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
1Co_14:39  Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

P.S. Just for the record, I did not know I should “covet to prophesy.” This is strange new to me, as I wonder how I got into prophecy, and it was in answering my sons question, “WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 9-11-2001?” And what kid comes home from College Spring Break in the spring of 2002 and asks his Mom, that question without first saying “hello” or “giving her a hug”?

That night Walter read OUT LOUD to me, Volume 9 of the Testimonies to the Church beginning on page 11. I picked up Maxwells book GOD CARES II and read, “Image today a third world army invading Washington and setting fire to the Pentagon.”

Image me, the great, great, Grand Daughter, of a immigrant from Pennsylvania, in the same country, where she was born, the plane headed for the White House, came down. Great, Great, Grandma Ake, had a chart of prophecies on the wall of her dug out house. She knew how to explain the Prophecies of Daniel. HOWEVER, the final blow to the list of NATIONS, that ends up with a sand and iron nations, that WILL NOT BE UNITED, is HIT WITH A ROCK HEWN WITHOUT HANDS. Making the Bible’s longest prophecy….from 547 A. D. to 9-11-2001 a 2547 year old Prophecy, when 9-11-2001, had the stone hewn without hands given to the GROUND ZERO project and it was labeled the CORNERSTONE of the FREEDOM TOWER.

But it is written,

Dan 2:42  And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. Dan 2:43  And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 
Dan 2:44  And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 
Dan 2:45  Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. 

If you “feel” like you are being “sifted” and “tested” it is for you to decide which Kingdom you wish to live in forever, or not. Which King would you like to meet? The one who offers you eternal life, or the one who offers you eternal death? And all of this because of HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, not yours or mine.

The Elijah Message

GOD has people in all the churches, and it is not for us to make sweeping denunciation of the professed religious world, but in humility and love, present to all the truths as it is in Jesus.

Let men see piety and devotion, let them behold Christlikeness of character, and they will be drawn to the TRUTH. He who loves God supremely and his neighbor as himself, will be a light in the world. Those who have a knowledge of the truth are to communicate the same. THey are to LIFT UP JESUS, THE WORLD’S REDEEMER; they are to hold forth the Word of Life.

The Elijah Message —In this age, just prior to the second coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven, God calls for men and women who will prepare a people to stand in the great day of the Lord. Just such a work as that which John did, is to be carried on in these last days. The Lord is giving messages to His people, through the instruments He has chosen, and He would have all heed the admonitions and warnings He sends. The message preceding the public ministry of Christ was, Repent, publicans and sinners; repent, Pharisees and Sadducees; “for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Our message is NOT TO BE ONE OF PEACE AND SAFETY. As a people who believe in Christ’s soon appearing, we have a definite message to bear, —“Prepare to meet thy God.”

Our message must be as direct as was that of John. He rebuked kings for the peril his life was in, he never allowed truth to languish on his lips, “You should not be sleeping with your brother’s wife,” for example. Notwithstanding the peril his life was in, he never allowed truth to languish on his lips. Our work in this age must be as faithfully done.

In this time of well-nigh universal apostasy, God calls upon His messengers to proclaim His law in the spirit and power of Elias. As John the Baptist, in preparing a people for Christ’s first advent, called their attention to the Ten Commandments, so we are to give, with no uncertain sound, the message: “Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come.” With the earnestness that characterized Elijah the prophet and John the Baptist, we are to strive to prepare the way for Christ’s second advent. (SW March 21, 1905)

All Luster Is Reflected Light

All luster possessed by those who have gained the richest experience is but the reflection of the light of the SUN of righteousness. He who lives nearest to Jesus shines the brightest. And let us thank God that the Master has His hidden ones, who are not recognized by the world, but whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. The luster of the tiniest gem in God’s casket will glorify Him. There are man . . .who during this life do not seem to be particularly honored. But the Lord sees those who serve Him. Malachi 3:17

Mal 3:16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 
Mal 3:17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 

We Are The Light of The World

The Light in The Most Holy was The Presence of GOD, His Son came to show us THE LIGHT in His poverty.

“YE are THE LIGHT of the WORLD. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Matthew 5:14

“Our duty will only be discerned and appreciated when viewed IN THE LIGHT which SHINES from the LIFE OF CHRIST. As the SUN RISES to the east and passes toward the west, filling the world with LIGHT, so the True Follower of CHRIST will be a LIGHT unto the WORLD. He/She will go forth into the world as a BRIGHT and SHINING LIGHT, that those who are in darkness may be lightened and warmed by the rays shining from Him. Christ say to His followers, “Ye are the Light of the World.”

Those who do not work in hopefulness, keep themselves under a cloud of doubt. The enemy is not dead yet, and nearer we come to the CLOSE OF THIS EARTH”S HISTORY, the more vigilant will be the efforts of satanic agencies to keep souls under a cloud of doubt, so that the LIGHT OF HEAVEN shall not be expressed in WORDS and ACTS to bring HOPE and CHEER and COURAGE to others.

The world is full of HURRY and DISAPPOINTMENT. The words are addressed to YOU, “Let YOUR light so shine before men, that they may SEE your GOOD WORKS, and GLORIFY Your FATHER which is in Heaven.” The words in FAVOR OF TRUTH, Spoken with THE ASSURANCE that comes from the possession of a RIGHT PURPOSE, and in Cheerful Hope, from a PURE HEART, will make the ANGELS REJOICE. The Lord would have us SPIRITUALLY MINDED, that we may be able to SEE the WORKING OUT OF HIS PLANS IN OUR LIFVES. WE are to be laborers together with GOD in accomplishing the work that He would have done. Wherever we are, we are to reflect LIGHT.

WHEN the GRACE OF CHRIST is expressed in the WORDS AND WORKS of the BELIEVERS, LIGHT will SHINE FORTH to those who are in darkness; for while the lips are speaking to the PRAISE OF GOD, the hand will be stretched out in beneficence for the HELP OF THE PERISHING.

Unique to my life, in being united in marriage to a farmer, is the process of HOMESTEAD, where the children can put their Parents in debt, so the “land” can remain in the “family.” When the parent is “poor” and only has $3000.00 in the bank, the “family” can put their poor demented Mother or Father in the Federal System, which pays for their Nursing Care.

When I married Terry, I knew the land would go to his daughter. This is how my Mother and her brother, received their “inheritance” but when Mother sold her land, she had to pay the taxes. And Uncle Dale placed his trust in his sons, and when I came to live in Nebraska, Uncle Dale’s farm went up to auction, because of bankruptcy.

The land is valued at a wonderful high price, but the middle man, buys low and sells high. Farmers must sell with a whim of the daily price of corn, wheat, soybeans in the Stock Market. It’s hard to image the cost of feeding a cow, only to be sold for a loss, but cattle need food, enriched grain, and veterinary care.

Viewing the future with the “cost” of NOT TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST, or having someone “implant” a “chip” in me, means that I will not be able to buy or sell….the final conquest of TRUSTING GOD, and becoming DEPENDENT UPON HIS BLESSINGS, is like a marriage where you know, you will not be trusting for the PLENTIFUL HARVEST, but will be trusting in God. This to me is like walking a gang plank off the BOAT, to find if I can SINK OR SWIM, much like Peter did, when God permitted him to walk on water. . .IF HE KEPT HIS EYES ON JESUS, Peter was walking on the water, but if he turned to see if the guys in the boat were seeing this, Peter would begin to sink.

Saturday September 26, is the blog based on the book Sons and Daughters of God by Ellen White.

Ellen White went through life, being challenge by men, who used their power, to try and discourage her. Her son died. In time her husband passed away. She was left with the responsibility to be used by God to pen words of HOPE, set in the scene of the FINAL CRISIS.

When we know what is ahead, it is frightening, when we know, those who do not take the chip, will be put into temporary housing, and facing death.

A BOOK OPENED

“Says the prophet: “Blessed is he that readeth” —there are those who will not read; the blessing is not for them. “And they that hear” —there are some, also who refuse to hear anything concerning the prophecies; the blessing is not for this class. “And keep those things which are written therein” —many refuse to heed the warnings and instructions contained in the Revelation; none of these can CLAIM THE BLESSING PROMISED. All who ridicule the subjects of the prophecy and mock AT THE SYMBOLS here solemnly given, allow to refuse to reform their lives and to prepare for the coming of the SON of man, will be unblessed.”

“In view of the testimony of Inspiration, how dare men teach that the Revelation is a mystery beyond the reach of human understanding? It is a mystery revealed a book opened. The study of the Revelation directs the mind to the prophecies of DANIEL, and both present most important instruction, given of God to men concerning event’s to take place at the close of this world’s history. To John were opened scenes of deep and thrilling interest in the experience of the church. He saw the position, dangers, conflicts, and final deliverance of the people of God. He records the closing messages which are to ripen the harvest of the earth, either as sheaves for the heavenly garner or as fagot for the fires of destruction. Subjects of vast importance were revealed to him, especially for the last church, that those who should turn from error to truth might be instructed concerning the perils and conflicts before them. None need be in darkness in regard o what is coming upon the earth.”

“Why, the, this widespread ignorance concerning an important part of Holy Writ? Why this general reluctance to investigate its teaching” It is the result of a studied effort of the prince of darkness to conceal from men that which reveals his deceptions. For this reason, Christ the Revelator, foreseeing the warfare that would be waged against the study of Revelation, pronounced a BLESSING upon ALL, who should read, hear, and observe the words of the prophecy.” p. 202 Triumph of God’s Love, by Ellen White.

We cannot deny the Holy Spirit, as we are seeing events unfold, that can turn our government into the same state as others who have folded under the direction of a “man.”

Jesus The King, became Jesus the pauper, to adjust us to being poor and humble, and dependent upon our father God. How can this be justice? To understand why HE came, to show us the way to live is in HIS PRESENCE now and in the future Heavenly Kingdom, by choice, not by force, by love not by bribes. Strange is this MYSTERY, that humbled THE PROPHET, Jesus Christ.

To prepare for the future, God has given us the results of Lucifer’s government is “to destroy”…Gods people. Because heaven has been closed to Lucifer and his angels, he goes around like roaring lion seek whom he can deceive.

While those who prepare to live without war, conflict and raging seas of humanity, will enjoy the bliss of heaven, harmony and true love.

EZEKIEL 9:4 ” …set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done . . .”

This is NOT A MARK YOU CAN SEE, So I have no PICTURE.

This is the MARK YOU RECEIVE FROM GOD, because HE TOO, sighs and crys for those who do not realize, we are in the REALITY GAME OF LIFE, and we “pick up clues” of how to win the game, and it by having compassion, empathy and a horror of what we see happening, and Jesus wrote:

Luk_16:15  And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

The WORDS IN RED tend to shock me.
“For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”

Now how is that for a WOW OPENING STATEMENT? gulp

Who in their right mind would ever publish a book, suggesting JESUS EMBEDDED TODAY’S EVENTS in HIS BOOK, scribed by John the beloved some 1925 years ago, in 95 A.D.?

1925 plus 95 = 2020 (some people like to do the number thing…I like to think God is OMNIPOTENT and that is why Ellen White say the buildings getting higher and higher in 1904-1906 when camping in New York City, and that one day, the buildings would “melt like pitch” and the firemen could not put out the fire. It would happen because so many are denying THE HOLY SPIRIT. The Nation MOST BLESSED, can bring upon itself, the curse….and we each are in the JUDGEMENT HOUR….THE BLACK HORSE and worse yet the “REMNANT CHURCH” has a very peculiar message…it is the LAST CHURCH…recognized by the symbol of a PEA GREEN SICK HORSE.

Horse is beast, or Kingdom of Truth, we set our King to ride on. The Rider on the Green, sick, pea green horse, says to earth, Rev 3:16 “Since you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth.” Maybe that is why He says, like an angel, from heaven: Rev 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you don’t participate in her sins and also suffer from her diseases.” (Revelation 18)

The actual word is more like “vomit” you out of my mouth….kinda like a gut thing from deep inside….it is a very sad moment for me, to think the JEWS crucified JESUS the JEW, and our injustice can make us look very much like the ones who seek to DESTROY rather than BUILD UP a person who needs help. I pray I do not take part in anyway to discourage someone from finding the pure love of JESUS and HIS FRIENDSHIP.

We Give Liberally to Spread the Gospel which is He Came, He Lived, He Died, He Rose from the Grave, He’s Coming Again.

The Book of Remembrance
Mal 3:16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 
Mal 3:17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 
Mal 3:18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. 

If you believe in God, in Jesus, in Hope, in Truth, in Love, in Justice you want JESUS TO COME AGAIN, and soon.

Pro 3:9  Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: Pro 3:10  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 
Pro 3:11  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: Pro 3:12  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

“Are you not chosen of God to be a vessel unto honor, to convey light and truth to those who are in error and darkness? The saving message of truth has come to you, and if you receive of the SPIRIT of Christ, you will have a LOVE FOR THE SOULS WHO ARE IN PERIL.”

“Men will compass land and sea for earthly gain, and endue privation and suffering to obtain their object, yet will turn away from heaven’s attractions, and not regard eternal riches. Men who are in comparative poverty are usually the ones who do the most to sustain the cause of God. They are generous with their little. They have strengthened their generous impulses by continual liberalities. When their expenditures pressed close upon the income, their passion for earthly riches had no room or chance to strengthen. But many, when they begin to gather earthy riches had no room or chance to strengthen. But many, when they begin to gather earthly riches, commenced to calculate how long it will be before they can be in possession of a certain sum. In their anxiety to amass wealth for themselves, they fail to become rich toward God.”

“It should be your object, in whatever vocation you may be found, to do your work in a manner that shall glorify God. All that you gain, you should look upon as capital to be invested in the BANK OF HEAVEN. It should be your joy to devote means, and time, and ability to win souls for Christ, to send the light to those who sit in darkness.”

“The Lord has ordained that the diffusion of light and truth in the earth shall be dependent upon the efforts and offerings of those who are partakers of the heavenly gift. He might have made angels the ambassadors of His truth; He might have made known His will, as He proclaimed the law from Sinai, with His own voice; but in His infinite love and wisdom He called men to become co-laborers with Himself, by choosing them to do this work.” Sept. 25. 2020 Sons and Daughters of God, by Ellen White who passed in 1915. [125 years ago]

“The youth who finds joy and happiness in reading the Word of God and in the hour of prayer is constantly refreshed by drafts from the Fountain of Life. He will attain a height of moral excellence and a breadth of thought of which others cannot conceive. Communion with God encourages good thoughts, noble aspirations, clear perceptions of truth, and lofty purposes of action. Those who thus connect their souls with God are acknowledged by Him as His sons and daughters.” — Testimonies, vol. 4, p. 624 Ellen G. White.

I found Ron Wyatt quoting this book, Sons and Daughters of God. Ron Wyatt was called the “amateur archeologist” by those who mocked his finds, of Noah’s Ark, The Red Sea Crossing and Pharaoh’s chariots wheels, and then THE ARK OF THE COVENANT…a blessing if you keep the laws, and curse if you don’t. But the JEWS, thought they were “obeying” the law, while finding Jesus, as a thorn in their sides. Jesus was interested in people, and their souls, and he saw “their hearts” rather than the outward appearance.

My favorite reading was: Isa 32:17  And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

This text in context, suggest we will live in quiet places as the “hail” comes which is the last plague. It suggests the Holy Spirit will lead us out of that danger and no plague shall come near your dwelling. Getting out of the big cities is important. cities, large cities are called “seas of humanity” in Revelation 17:15. But when you look it up:

Rev 17:15  And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 

THE WHORE in the BIBLE is in contrast to the PURE WOMAN, which is suppose to be “the church.” However you do notice the “DESTROYING KIND OF PEOPLE” want to be in the most populated parts of town.

I could say more about God’s Church, but JESUS CHRIST is supposed to be the HEAD OF THE BODY OF CHRIST.

Mal_3:17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

We Are Witnesses For God

Ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord. Isaiah 43:10

“Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord.” Thank God that it is our privilege to be called witnesses for God. Then if we are witnesses, we must speak for Christ, and lift Him up among our associates. When we see the ardor and religious zeal of any of our companions growing cool, we must help and encourage such a one, pray with and for him, that he may be a true witness for the Lord. . .

You are to be the agent through whom God will speak to the soul. Precious things will be brought to your remembrance, and with a heart overflowing with the love of Jesus, you will speak words of vital interest and import. Your simplicity and sincerity will be the highest eloquence, and your words will be registered in the books of heaven as fit words, which are like apples of gold in pictures of silver. God will make them a healing flood of heavenly influence, awakening conviction and desire, and Jesus will add His intercession to your prayers, and claim for the sinner the gift of the Holy Spirit, and pour it upon his soul. And there will be joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

The work above all work, —the business above all others which should draw and engage the energies of the soul, —is the work of saving souls for whom Christ has died. Make this the main, the important work of your life. Make it your special life-work. Cooperate with Christ in this grand and noble work, and become home and foreign missionaries. Be ready and efficient to work at home or in far-off climes for the saving of souls. . . .O that young and old were thoroughly converted to God, and would take up the duty that lies next to them, and work as they have opportunity, becoming laborers together with God! Should this come to pass, multitudes of voices would show forth the praises of Him who hath called them out of darkness into His marvelous light. p. 274 Sept 24, 2020 Sons and Daughters of God, by Ellen White.

Rev 10:9  And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

Watching T.V. this morning with bitter news of more police, more violence, more chaos, makes me eager to change the channel, but when we “open the book of Revelation, which is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we find a blessing. Jesus is a blessing. He fought against injustice. He fought for the poor, the blind and naked. Jesus invites us to PUT ON THE ROBE OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and it makes us humble, to even think, we can become a witness to His suffering for humanity, for He understands, we do not have a heart for fear, chaos and confusion.

In witnessing, we bring “life” to the top of our conversation, like cream that floats above the milk. And when we hear ourselves speaking words of encouragement to others, it is like the words come back to encourage us too.

Rev 1:3  Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. 

THE TIME OF TROUBLE

Really don’t need to show a picture of the chaos, confusion, that describes the condition of Babylon, in its day. We have never before seen or heard of this kind of wickedness, but it has come to be in this generation.

The Time of Trouble

by Ellen G. White, author, mother, speaker for GOD

   “I saw the saints leaving the cities and villages, and associating in companies, and living in the most solitary places.  Angels provided them food and water, while the wicked were suffering from hunger and thirst.  Then I saw the leading men of the earth consulting together, and Satan and his angels busy around them.  I saw a writing, copies of which were scattered in different parts of the land, giving orders that unless the saints should yield their peculiar faith, give up the Sabbath, and observe the first day of the week; the people were at liberty after a certain time to put them to death.  But in this hour of trial the saints were calm and composed, trusting in God and leaning upon His promise that a way of escape would be made for them. Satan wished to have the privilege of destroying the saints of the Most High; but Jesus bade His angels watch over them. God would be honored by making a covenant with those who had kept His law, in the sight of the heathen round about them.  God would be honored by making a covenant with those who had kept His law, in the sight of the heathen round about them; and Jesus would be honored by translating, without their seeing death, the faithful, waiting ones who had so long expected Him.

   “Soon I saw the saints suffering great mental anguish.  They seemed to be surrounded by the wicked inhabitants of the earth.  Every appearance was against them. Some began to fear that God had at last left them to perish by the hand of the wicked.  But if their eyes could have been opened, they would have seen themselves surrounded by angels of God.  Next came the multitude of the angry wicked and next a mass of evil angels, hurrying on the wicked to slay the saints. But before they could approach God’s people, the wicked must first pass this company of mighty, holy angels.  This was impossible. [There was one preacher who looked forward to this day, when the wicked must first pass THIS COMPANY OF MIGHTY HOLY ANGELS. His name was H.M.S Richards. He liked to think these initials of his name meant: HIS MAGESTIES SERVICE. And what a joy H.M.S. Richards would have to stand BRAVE, stand TALL, stand UP for God, like the three Hebrew friends of Daniel in Babylon,] [Inserts are for me to add my feelings about a truly delightful, energetic leader who ended every sermon with the question, “What will you do with Jesus?” He held my oldest son as a baby, and asked God for His special blessing. Now that this time has passed, that picture of Jesus blessing the children means much more to me. And today I want the Mother and Fathers, to bring “this blessing” upon their children, by dedicating them to be a witness of God’s love, peace and tie that binds our hearts together.] The angels of God were causing them to recede,”

   “It was an hour of fearful, terrible agony to the saints. [kinda like Daniel in the Lion’s Den] Day and night they cried unto God for deliverance.  To outward appearance, there was no possibility of their escape.  The wicked had already begun to triumph, crying out, “Why doesn’t your God deliver you out of our hands?  Why don’t you go up and save your lives?”

[These particular words, are a reminder of how Elijah was “taken up” to heaven. Using this mockery of God, “Why don’t YOU go UP and SAVE YOUR LIVES” points to the future, when Revelation 11:12  “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, “Come up hither.” And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.] 

 “But the saints heeded them not. Like Jacob, they were wrestling with God.  The angels longed to deliver them, but they must wait a little longer; the people of God must DRINK OF THE CUP [of suffering with the angel of God-like Jesus did, asking His Father, if “this cup, this suffering would not be for him to have, but the suffering made Jesus prepared for the worst that would come] and be “baptized” with the “baptism.”  The angels, faithful to their trust, continued their watch.  God would not suffer His name to be reproached among the heathen.  The time had nearly come when He was to manifest HIS MIGHTY POWER and GLORIOUS deliver of His saints.   For His name’s glory He would deliver every one of those who had patiently waited for Him and whose names were written in the book.

[This question begs an answer, “Is my name written in the book?” Rev_3:5  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

The names of all of those who have once given themselves to God are written in the book of life, and their characters are now passing in review before Him.

I personally felt the need to “confess the sins of my past,” and I wished to be at peace with God and man.  When you feel the “calm” in your heart, like the peace in the “eye of the storm” you know you do not “fear” His judgment, and no one is worthy, without embracing His righteousness. Kinda humbling, to be His friend, and nice to know He is our God. Man may look upon the outward appearance but GOD looks upon “the heart.”  We can only “do so much” and we have to “Let Go and let GOD” be author and finishers of our faith.

   “I was pointed back to the faithful Noah.  When the rain descended and the flood came, Noah and his family had entered the ark, and God had shut them in.  Noah had faithfully warned the inhabitants of the antediluvian world, while they had mocked and derided him.  And as the waters descended upon the earth, and one after another was drowning, they beheld the ark, of which they had made so much sport, riding safely upon the waters, preserving the faithful Noah and His family.  So I saw that the people of God, who had faithfully warned the world of His coming wrath, would be delivered. [In the last days, God has made a plan, for those like Noah, Daniel, and Jacob who were given the job of faithfully warning the world of His coming wrath. What a blessing from God, through the prophetess Ellen White.] God would not suffer the wicked to destroy those who were expecting translation and who would not bow to the decree of the beast or receive his mark.  I saw that if the wicked were permitted to slay the saints, Satan and all his evil host, and all who hate God, would be gratified.  And oh, what a triumph it would be for his satanic majesty to have power, in the last closing struggle, over those who have so long waited to behold Him whom they loved!  Those who have mocked at the idea of saints’ going up will witness the CARE OF GOD FOR HIS PEOPLE and BEHOLD THEIR GLORIOUS DELIVERANCE.”

   “As the saints left the cities and villages, they were pursued by the wicked, who sought to slay them. BUT THE SWORDS that were RAISED TO KILL GOD’S people BROKE AND FELL as POWERLESS as a straw. ANGELS of GOD shielded the saints.  As they cried day and night for DELIVERANCE, their CRY CAME UP BEFORE THE LORD.” p. 283-285 EARLY WRITINGS by Ellen White first copyright 1892.

P.S. Her writings can be found on the internet at The Ellen G. White Estate. These words can be read online, along with other books totaling 44, directed to many phases of Education, Ministry, Healing, and how the work was conducted by inviting the Holy Spirit to guide a little band of people who came out of GREAT DISSAPOINTMENT, when these prophecies were first studied. By 1844 Ellen White was show how to face the GREAT DAY before JESUS COMES.

But the “light” coming from the parables of Jesus, who embedded his stories and prophesies to include the “light” of HIS WISDOM, POWER, and FOREKNOWLEGED of HOW ISLAM would bring “NEW LIGHT” to the WORD… When FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF RELIGION was purchased by THE PROPHET JESUS CHRIST A JEW, OUR MESSIAH too.

As I read this: THIS GENERATION believes “I AM INTITLED” and the ones who feel “they are unworthy” to receive the inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, is reserved in heaven for them, makes us feel ONLY JESUS IS WORTHY, for HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, will be MADE KNOWN, so NO ONE, can say, “JESUS was NOT RAISE FROM THE GRAVE and GO BACK TO HEAVEN.”

HOW DO I KNOW? THE BIBLE TELLS US IN THE BOOK AUTHORED BY  JESUS HIMSELF, the angel who wrote the law, the angel who fought Lucifer in heaven and on earth, the angel who led the Children of God out of slavery, out of Egypt is still alive today and the LAST MIRCLE, of raising two witnesses to HEAVEN, in Revelation 11, will END THE MYSTERY OF SALVATION, by a gracious God, who reads our minds and motives, and He is not a ROBOT. GOD BLESS THIS READING of HIS WORD and PROMISES to a nation, forgetting who GAVE THEM THIS PROMISED LAND.  Sept. 23, 2020 It is as if, the countdown to HIS COMING is getting closer and closer each day.

TODAY, are YOU SAVED by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, JESUS CHRIST, THE JEW and OUR MESSIAH TOO?  To be saved, you just have to understand, GOD IS ON YOUR MIND, because HE LIKES TO SAVE TO THE UTMOST. AMEN, that is to say, SO BE IT!

God is out to save to the utmost.
