God speaks prophecy to all:
What a glorious day it will be! The breaking forth of sunshine after the darkness, and the relief of life continuing after the very end was threatened. A reprieve, you might say. An opportunity to awaken from sinning against our God and taking his name in vain. A moment in the annals of history to record the Great Turning. But will they turn? Will the deaf here and the blind see? Some will – many will not.
What will you do, my people? Will you examine yourselves and ask of me what have I need of repentance from? All have sinned and all fall short. Come near to me, your God, today, and not when fear has clothed you. Stand up for what is right and true and leave the evil of your world behind you. Ask of me to bring cleansing fire upon your heart, and I will deliver it.
Turn from sloth to vigor and dive into my word with great desperation and intention to really know me and my will. Refuse to accept the filth and sloth your world promotes. Ask yourselves, “What have I done to serve my God this year, month, day?”. What can I do today? The list is short. Love me with all that you are, more than your screens, more than your toys, more than your money and more than yourself. And love those whom I love also. Give good to your family while there is good to give, good words and kindness in all you speak and do. Pray for them and do the same for your neighbors. “How can I help?” should be your first thought. God, lead me in your path of righteousness, your daily plea. Be holy now, my children, be free from the sin that has beset you, and come out from under its iron grip. Armageddon awaits the disobedient.
Today’s Written Word
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Romans 3:22-24 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Hebrews 12:1 ESV Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
A Word of Encouragement
Another invitation to turn to God and away from the things of this present world. Things that distract us from a full and fulfilling relationship with our heavenly Father. He instructs us to ask for His cleansing fire upon our hearts, and He will deliver it. There have been many verses in the posts this year about God cleansing us from all unrighteousness. He has given us pure, holy spirit, but our minds, bodies and soul life are ours to clean up with His help. Let’s sit a while in focused prayer and ask our Father to release us from all sin, to welcome His burning fire upon our hearts and receive.
An Action Item
Have you been desperate for the understanding of God’s word lately? Many have. We are seeing and hearing many strange things in our world and most of us are searching the scriptures and seeking God’s revelation. We have found many prophecies foretelling what is happening right now. Ones that were given hundreds and some even thousands of years ago. Like those to Moses of freedom and the new Goshen, and to Joseph about the coming years of plenty and famine, and to Daniel of the end times. These have all been available to us, but have taken on a new kind of importance. God says “seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened”. Today the Lord spoke “that all things which have happened before will be repeated in the end of days”. Let’s be filled up with truth, focused in prayer, and rejoicing daily in Him!

A sweet friend dropped off food for the pantry today. Praise God for inspiring others to give out of their own storehouse. She is a great example of generosity. An example I will copy!
