TAKING BACK CONTROL

    It is easy to find things to occupy our time and energy. There is always something to do. During lockdown and restrictions I had a lot of time. No work and cannot go anywhere. I tried to keep up with all the conspiracies and all the things happening around the world. I was overwhelmed especially when friends sent me videos and articles to read. I made a decision that I will not allow my time and energy to be wasted. 

Life seems to be speeding by. There is much to worry about. But worry is not godly. Worry is fear of the unknown. We know what will happen. We read our Bibles and understand the end is here. Our christian life is our priority. I have written several blogs and it leads to the same conclusion, focus on Jesus. Be a partner with Jesus. If life is hard, suffer for Him:

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 

Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it beginswith us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER? Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right. 1 Peter 4:12-19

Do not be guilty of the sins. If you have little, thank God anyway. God is the beginning and the ending of each of us. Enjoy the relationship you have with Him. 

Ask yourself, What am I doing for Jesus? How can I tell others about Jesus. We know there will be persecution in the end times. Today there is persecution. In many nations christians are enslaved or killed. 

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Luke 6:22-23

We know there will be rumours of war. Everyday we put on the television we hear about tensions or accusations. Since Hiroshima, there were talks about disarmament. But, in 2021 we are facing a nuclear weapons development programme in Iran.

All these things are prophesied in the Bible. What does it mean? We should be busy trying to tell others about Jesus or show others Jesus in us. If you cannot say it, do it. Always be ready with a verse to encourage someone. It is the word of God that we speak:

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Thank God for His word and for every time you can use it. 

Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Luke 15:10

Pray for each other;

But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 1 Peter 4:7

I will be writing more about the end times soon and get into more specifics.

I pray you grow stronger in The Lord. I pray you have all that you need to survive this world and reach the hearts of others for salvation in Jesus name.

If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour you may say this prayer;

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be, in Jesus name I pray. Thank you.
