"A Storm!"

"I would hurry to my place of shelter, 
far from the tempest and storm."
(Psalm 55:8)


Oh, the secret place of the most High is where we long to be, 
in the shelter of Your arms and abiding love

You cover us with a blanket of feathers, protection from the winds 

and storms, it's like the softness of a dove

Our Lord and King, the One in whom we trust is near; You never 

leave nor forsake us, on this we depend

For the Bible says so, the inspired Word of God, the scroll of who 

 You are and what You think, the oracle, the penned

Be it unto us, O Lord, Your Word, Your Blood, and Your Name;

 we walk in Your precepts, and in Your command

We know that it's for our best, that we must repent, be baptized, 

 and filled with Your Spirit; it's what You planned

Because the secret place is reserved for Your own, those dwelling 

 in Your love, and to whom heaven is home

We will assure our ticket on the train to glory, headed to that Holy

heavenly paradise, and never more to roam

You are the Great I AM and from whom all blessings flow; Your 

 Spirit is shalom; we have received and we know

Like the shadow of Your presence, we hear your whispers in the  

 winds, like droplets of rain in a sweet echo

We sit at Your feet in wonder, contemplating Your greatness, Your 

 aura, and the vastness of the Holy You

Give us Your wisdom, we pray, and let us delve into Your secrecy,

and get a glimpse, an ethereal breakthrough

Take us, Lord, to Your secret place, so beyond our finite minds

 and thoughts, to that ecstasy or eternal chateau

It's where we yearn to be, You know; it's with our Almighty God, so

 close that we're Your image, in your shadow

Oh, Your sweet glory surrounds us like soft feathers, and descends

on us in times of our need, like a holy hover

Your love holds us and keeps us looking up for the Lover of our

 souls; in You, we're forever safe and covered

When the thunders roar, and the moon turns to blood, we look for 

our Savior, even a glimpse of His Holy form

We know with every sign in the sky, every cause of life's terrors,

 our shelter's in Jesus Christ, ever safe in "A Storm."

"Famine In The Land"

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I

will send a famine in the land, not a famine

of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing

the words of the Lord."

(Amos 8:11)

When people don't want to hear and heed the Word of God, it's time to don the prayer shawl and cry out with urgency.  Have we reached the time when people do not want to hear the Truth of God?  The Book of 2 Timothy 4:3 says, "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.  Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
  

People today mock at the word "prophet," and we 'are' seeing false teachers rising up, just as the Bible said would happen, but there are men and women of God today, who are used in the gift of prophecy, which is the foretelling or forthtelling, of things to come.  Are we in a famine of "hearing the words of God?"  Do people even consider the consequences of their actions today?  Is the "famine" increasing day by day?  We know the answer by the immoral parades in the streets, by the passing of laws contrary to God's Holy Word, by the image of "the days of Noah" right before our very eyes  ...  

More than any other time and any other generation, we must sit up and tune our ears to the Holy, anointed, Truth speaking, Holy and prophetic messengers who say, "Thus saith the Lord."  The Bible says that as it was in the days of Noah; people were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage; and so shall it be in the day of the coming of the Lord.  Prophetic signs are all around us; the Bible prophecies dominate our headlines; however, they of course, most of the time, do not refer to the Bible in those headlines.  But, we who read the Word, who hide the Word in our hearts that we might not sin against Him, who compare the Word and the weather patterns, who line up the Word with events in Israel and the Middle East according to Ezekiel 38 and 39, who note the prophetic Word about a one-world currency, are those begging for "Rain," know what's coming.  What?  Rain!  Rain of the Spirit, rain of Words from the Holy One of Israel, rain of power and glory, rain of wisdom and knowledge  ...  Rain!

 "How then shall they call on him in whom

they have not believed?  And how shall they

believe in him of whom they have not heard?

And how shall they hear without a preacher?

(Romans 10:14)

Do You have one? An anointed Preacher?  If ever the inhabitants of this planet earth on which we live needed a Preacher, it is NOW!  Famines of the Word occur when there are not enough God-called, mightily anointed, holy, powerful, ordained Preachers bringing forth the Word of God, that was written by scribes of old who were moved on and breathed on by the Holy Spirit of God, as they wrote  with authority, conviction, and power.  We need to pray for our Preachers as never before, for if we, the sheep, are attacked; how much more do you think the Preachers and their families are attacked?  We must cover them with a prayer shawl of protection.

  

There's a famine in the land if God's people are not reading His Word.  We must be "prepared and pre-prayered" as my Pastor says so eloquently.  How do we know what will happen?  What prophecies have been fulfilled?  What is ahead for the Church?  What will happen to the Nation of Israel?  Is America in prophecy?  Will there be a One World Order?  Is the antichrist alive now?  How close are we to the soon coming Rapture of the Church?  Now, you see why we need a Preacher, and not just "any" Preacher, but a Holy Ghost filled and anointed one, a praying and holy living one, and one who can reach God!  And, we need to know the Holy Bible and read it for ourselves, so that we will not be deceived.  We must not be, and we absolutely cannot be, malnutritioned of the Word of God.  The Bible does not leave us unknowing; we are commanded to be ready, by repenting of our sins, being filled with the Holy Ghost and speaking with tongues as the Spirit gives us utterance, and by being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ  ...  We must be awake, alert, and looking up!

"See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks.

If they did not escape when they refused him 

who warned them on earth, how much less 

will we, if we turn away from him who 

warns us from heaven."

(Hebrews 12:25)

Clarke's commentary says it like this, "Take heed that ye refuse not him - the Lord Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, who now speaketh from heaven, by his Gospel, to the Jews and to the Gentiles, having in his incarnation come down from God.  Him that spake on earth - Moses, who spoke on the part of God to the Hebrews, every transgression of whose word received a just recompense of reward, none being permitted to escape punishment; consequently, if ye turn away from Christ, who speaks to you from heaven, you may expect a much sorer punishment, the offense against God being so much the more heinous, as the privileges slighted are more important and glorious."  That, dear friends, calls for an AMEN!

We need to be so fat we can't move!  What?  Fat on the Word of God, satiated to the brim with Holy Bible treasures.  The Word of God should be so hidden in our hearts that we wouldn't consider,or even think about sinning; we need to be full of proverbs, psalms, old testament prophecy, and new testament fulfillment, that the Holy Bible   permeates our minds; it's like fire shut up in our bones; it flows like a river through our hands with power against all manner of evil; it shoots through our feet as we claim the land; and it is the voice of God through our human mouths as we minister in His stead.  The Word  ... sharper than a two-edged sword, honey to the spirit, hot coals to the lips, and a groan to the soul  ... the Word of God  ...  It will keep us, guide us, convict us, nurture us, move us, enlighten us  ...  It's the voice of Almighty God speaking to us from portals of Glory.  What does the Lord God think; what does He want to tell us; what instruction do we need; what are our orders and commands  ...  they're in His Word, the Holy Bible; He has said everything that He is going to say  ...  we just need to obey.

We need a resurgence and an influx of Bible Toters, God Squads, Spirit Fire Breathers, devil Chasers, Hallelujah Howlers, Water Dippers, Heaven Bringers, Power Pushers, and Courage Carriers who will round up all the "Has Beens" and make them "Are Nows" for the cause of Jesus Christ our Lord!  O Yeah! Can I get a witness?  Hey, I'm not about to be famished  ...  I'm "full up" and glowing bright with the Wednesday Word, the  Sunday Word, Sunday Power, Sunday Worship, and 24 hour Jesus Christ; now, how about You?

God's Church is on the march, and we're making it our business to make sure that this last hour is saturated from Nation to Nation with the Holy Ghost and fire, and that the Word of God is Alive and Awakened!  We can't have a famine in the land when Holy Ghost flames are being left in our wakes, and tongues of fire are falling in every corner of the globe!  Famine?  Oh no, it's clearly Spirit upon all flesh  ...

"When God Lifts His Voice"

"Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;

he lifts his voice, the earth melts."

"The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress."

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

(Psalm 46:6,7, & 10)

What does tomorrow hold?  What can planet earth expect in the next few years?  How will the economy affect us?  What will happen with Iran, Syria, Israel, and America?  Where are the Nations of the world headed?  What's going on with the weather, the earthquakes, the disasters, and the madmen killing people?  What about the insecurity of corporations and businesses and our jobs?  Huh?  Questions like these are ruminating in the hearts and minds of people in every Nation, kindred and tongue, because let's face it  ...  the world is rocking and reeling under the force of God's "Harvest time" pressure.  "What pressure?" you ask. The pressure of the end times.  "There you go again, talking about the end," you say.  No, it's not the end of the world, but there will be an end to the AGE.  What?  There are dispensations and Ages, and we're coming to the end of the Church Age.  That's when the last person will repent, receive the Holy Ghost, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the door will be shut  ...  The Rapture of the Church WILL occur, as stated in the Bible, in II Thessalonians 4:17, and then the terrible horrific Tribulation period will begin  ...  the time of judgment will be poured out on the earth, upon everyone who did not obey the Word of God and come to Jesus Christ  ...  this is why we feel the pressure  ...

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in

trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though 

its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with surging." 

 (Psalm 46:1-3)

In desperate times, it's comforting to know we have a "strong tower," a refuge to run into  ...  the arms of a mighty God, Jesus Christ.  You say, "Oh, there have always been wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, terror, killers, and disasters."  That's true, but the key is when we see the "increase" of those things, and when it's combined with prophecies in the Bible that have come true before our eyes  ...  we must look UP; we must prepare; we must get oiled up, prayed up, filled up, prayed up, cleansed up, repented up, and get ready to go UP!  There will be a trumpet sound, and in the moment in a twinkling of an eye, 1/42nd of a second  ...  and it will be the end   ... and the beginning.  What?  It will be the end of the Church Age, the Rapture of the Church, and the beginning of the great and terrible Tribulation period, when God judges the earth.

"Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has

brought on the earth.   He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear."

(Psalm 46:8-9)

Lean on the One who holds the world in His hands; cling to the One who reigns and rules over the universe and all that is therein; call upon the One who whispers and the winds blow in cascading billows; reach up to the One whose arm is bared over planet earth; give yourself to the One who redeemed your soul with His blood and mangled flesh on a splintered cross; rest in the embrace of the One who's coming back to reclaim His own  ...  Jesus Christ!  He IS the I AM, the Holy One of Israel, the Holy Redeemer and Savior, the One who knows all thoughts, all motives, all hearts, and all that was, is, and is to come!  It's time for the inhabitants of planet earth to prepare, to look up, to come to the One who came to them, to be ready for the thief in the night  ...
   

"The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."

(Psalm 46:11)

He walks upon the Seas; He holds the hands of you and me;

His mind is ever upon His Church and army; and

He's coming back  ...  You'll see!

It's best and wise if we, who were formed of the "dust"

of the earth, listen "When God Lifts His Voice."
