God speaks prophecy to the unsaved:

You came, you saw, you went. That’s how you see it. Your view of life. My view is much different. You were born with great potential. I sent many to help and encourage you, but you refused my invitation. You can still choose to come home to me rather than suffer eternal death with the enemy. Come now to where there is hope and love every day, where living is joyful, not harsh, and where you can shine in the positions I have made for you, not drudgery nor forced labor, but true joy in working and helping your fellow man. Be who I have created you to be.

God also speaks to all mankind, saved and sinners alike:

Life is for blessing and joy, not hardship. Your bodies were designed for work and movement and not for sitting. If the TV did not work, would you spend hours in a chair staring at the wall? No, you would get up and find something to do. That opportunity is coming soon. What projects have you wanted to do but not done? What books have you wanted to read but have not yet read? Are there neighbors you meant to spend time with but could not find the time? Think it through and make a plan for the storms are headed your way and soon the screens will go black.

Many things are about to change, my children. You will be in shock as to how many. Try to think about gathering real things now- real tools that do not require electricity, real foods that do not come from a box, but a garden, real books about real life, not fantasy or sci-fi, but how to live, eat, and build. Many do not know how to cook real food, and when the stores and restaurants close, they will need your help. It may seem silly now, but when they are hungry and cannot find anything to eat, you will understand.

What is in your storehouse? Have you collected many foods and books and goods that will last for many years? Or are your supplies just enough for a week or two? Be ready now, my beloved. Use your time to watch instructions and take notes from that YouTube channel. Do not waste your time and resources on playing but prepare to continue living.

Today’s Written Word

Jeremiah 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.

A Word of Encouragement

Many of God’s children have been suffering under unjust laws, difficult jobs and great hardships. Hold on a little longer, for he is about to wake the nations. The drudgery and oppression that has been promoted by the hand of the evil one is about to be broken. God is going to send His glory to the earth and all will change. This is the jubilee year, one of rest and increase. We will have time to work on projects, visit with our neighbors and read some good books. Praise God, glory halleluiah! Oh to sit in a chair and read a good book. I will gladly trade my tech for some sweet time with God.

An Action Item

God also gave us some direction about stocking our storehouse with real things. Real food that will last for a long time, real tools that work without electricity (hmmmm?) and real books about how to live. Perhaps we can all make a trip to the local Goodwill store to collect some books about real life, without electricity. Please email any great ideas and we will share them out.

Another awesome Sunday meeting and much joyful fellowship and we were very blessed to view the 4th, 5th and 6th sections of the new “God’s Living Word” Bible study class.
