JOEL 2 GENERATION

I hear it all the time..."You are too political." "You need to avoid certain topics." "Just focus on the Gospel." Either I hear this directly or indirectly and I KNOW that far more are thinking it.  But what are we to do? One of the reasons that we are in the mess we are today - is because the vast majority of the pulpits were/are silent about the critical issues of our day. The radical left continues to push their godless, demonic policies - from expanding abortion, to LGBT and transgender-related, to being soft on crime, to advocating open borders where drugs and human sex trafficking thrive, and of course the multiple ways they have been and continue to be wrong regarding COVID and the treatments surrounding it.  Remdesivir is a toxic, ineffective drug that has literally killed a huge percentage of the people who were hospitalized with Covid, and put on respirators while being given Remdesivir. One statistic is that literally more than 50% of the people...

Covid "Vaccine" injuries and deaths are exploding. The fact that many are unaware of what is happening is indicative of how deeply deceived many continue to be. Eventually, it will be undeniable that the inexplicable conditions and deaths are being caused by the shots. It has been one of the hardest things to watch as a Christian - to see countless people that I know and love, many of who are committed Christians, subject themselves to these toxic shots which cause permanent damage and will lead many to premature deaths. So, what can we do? How can we respond or should we respond since so many have taken these experimental gene therapies?  In light of what we know, from their toxicity to the aborted fetal cells utilized in all of their development and testing, it is critical that Christians who took these shots repent for what they have done. Some did it out of fear. Others were manipulated. Possibly the worst case was those who KNEW they were dangerous and yet PRESUMED that ...

A consistent theme in this blog for many years has been that "Humility attracts heaven" - The key verse being, "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6/1 Peter 5:5) Grace is divine enablement - God's ability being given to us - and WHO gets that? THE HUMBLE. What do the proud get? They get God opposing them! We already have the devil and his angels opposing us, the full arsenal of the kingdom of darkness...and yet, if we are proud, the Holy Trinity Himself opposes us! Why is this not one of the most preached sermons in the Church? It seems to me that this is such a key teaching that 2 of the most influential leaders in the 1st century church - the Apostle Peter and James the brother of Jesus, who led the Church in Jerusalem.  But then this morning, another passage was highlighted by none other than the most influential leader in history, the Lord Jesus Himself...why I never 'saw' this verse before, I am not sure. Maybe it i...

At no time since the 1970s has "The End is Near" theological camp been so energized. Advocates of this viewpoint, especially the particular one that advocates a Pre-Tribulation Rapture (a subcategory of the Premillennial/Futurist viewpoint), have been filling up their conferences in recent months. Podcasts, YouTube videos, and many articles are appearing as they are producing lots of content. And many Christians are being influenced. Their books are flying off the shelves and I'm sure a lot of money is being made! The current Russian/Ukraine conflict has them talking a lot about the Gog Magog War mentioned in the Book of Revelation which prompted the Jerusalem Post to post an article at the beginning of March entitled, "Has Biblical Gog and Magog War Begun?" (Source: https://www.jpost.com/christianworld/article-699085). This particular viewpoint believed that the prophecies of Scripture were to be fulfilled at some point in the future (why it is called Futurist)...

In honor of you our dear friend whose life was cut tragically short... We would never have met you had you not prayed a secret prayer asking God to help you, asking God to "send you an angel" (your exact words) to help you in a time of pain and loss. And I stand here today with a sense of sobriety and the feeling of awesome responsibility, because somehow on that morning last year in June, I heard the Holy Spirit of God speak to me as you walked by with a word revealing the nature of your pain and loss. And on that morning, I took the risk and stopped you, a total stranger, to ask if the word God had revealed was in fact a word of revelation from the Lord. I'll never forget the look of shock on your face when you revealed to me that not only was it a word from God, but that you had been asking God in your pain, "God, send me an angel to help me". Since "angel" is a term that simply means 'messenger' and can be a human one and/or a heavenly one,...

There is something MORE in the Kingdom than the type of teaching and preaching that normally is happening in the church. Some have called it "Apostolic preaching". A study of church history finds many examples of teaching and preaching that had an impact that we are not seeing very often today. Maybe we've heard stories of the preaching and teaching of people like David Brainerd, John Wesley, and Charles Finney. When anointed preaching and teaching took place, people would begin to weep, cry out, fall down, repent, etc.  Some referred to this as "unction", others refer to it as "the anointing" - what we can all agree upon is that when this type of teaching or preaching took place, the results were supernatural. Far beyond the normal teaching or preaching of their day and even our day. Looking at a few verses in the Gospel of Mark when we are LOOKING for a theme, looking for this phenomenon, such as this type of preaching or teaching, I believe we find ...

Of course, this debate will never be settled, but no one who knows Church History would ever not include this great prayer/declaration by one of the most successful apostolic leaders in the history of Christianity.  Patrick KNEW that the powers of darkness were real and he and his disciples used the weapons that God has given us to oppose the kingdom of darkness, to set captives free, to overcome the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11), and to ultimately see thousands of churches planted and millions of souls saved. (I am thinking not just of the impact in his own lifetime but throughout the centuries since then).  Pray this today - Declare it today. We are facing evil unlike at any time in our lives. For such a time as this... THE BREASTPLATE OF ST. PATRICK  (AD433) I ARISE TODAY  Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, Through belief in the Threeness, Through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation. I ARISE TODAY Through the strength ...
