Studying sheep and goats this am. Did you know sheep will follow the oldest sheep in the flock? Goats will follow the strongest and most dominant goat in the flock. This is one of the main differences between shepherds and goatherds...they have to lead their flocks differently. We are supposed to be like sheep, not goats... Matthew 25:32“All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33“And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34“Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35‘for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36‘I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see Y...

David said that this was his main plan for safety in a time of trouble: Psalm 27:3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. This is why David started night and day prayer and worship, called "David's Tabernacle" in Israel. It worked. Revelation begins with Chapter 1, which is the most expansive declaration of the beauty, majesty, strength, and anointing of Jesus Christ. R...

The Bible is describing the FAILURE of satan's plan to resist the coming of Jesus. That means it is describing the failure of the antichrist's plan to replace Jesus with his own humanistic redemption plans... Antichrist will promise things he cannot deliver. He cannot renew the earth like Jesus will, so his climate change agenda will fail and result in great damage to the environment and the environment actually attacking people. Antichrist cannot give you a glorified body, so his promise of healthcare will fail and what will result is rampant pestilence. Antichrist doesn't have any money...so his promises to make you richer than you are now will fail and what will result is famine. Antichrist isn't the prince of peace, so all of his peace plans will fail and result in war. It is important to understand that as his plans fail, antichrist will steadily fall back to the only strength he has...his military. Antichrist will have the biggest human military earth has ever see...

The end times will prove EVERY truth of the Bible to be completely true. For this reason, there is no need for a NEW end time plan. The original plan, called the Gospel, is the only end time plan there is. BUT, do you really believe the Gospel? Do you believe it in a practical, unusual to the world, actually making Jesus' name your plan for everything kind of way? THIS is what will be tested by the end time tribulation. The full expression of ACTUALLY believing the truth of the Gospel is night and day prayer...if you really believe Jesus is the only one with the power to change circumstance...then asking Him like you really mean it is the only true expression of this belief... Jesus is orchestrating the perfect circumstances to get everyone willing to talk to Him like they really believe He is the only one who can fix the earth. If you want to be safe from spiritual harm and deception, then you need to go DEEPER into faith in the truths of the Bible. Right now, fear is beginning to...

World events are only going to get more confusing. The Bible will be the only clear lense to look through. This is intentional...intended to get the world to actually look through. Confusion will drive the humble to truth. Those who refuse to look through the lense of the Bible will find themselves without any understanding of what is actually happening. Just look at Russia, the US, Iran and Syria. Through the lens of the Bible it is easier to make sense of what is seemingly a senseless situation. 2 Thessalonians 2:9The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. You are literally witnessing the emer...

Isaiah 28:12-13 To whom He said, "This is the rest with which You may cause the weary to rest," And, "This is the refreshing"; Yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the LORD was to them, "Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little," That they might go and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught. This passage reveals the nature of the rebellion of God's people to the clear warnings God has given. Bit by bit, resisting the promptings of the Lord to respond and trade your best life now for a life lived in the excitement of the return of the Lord...that is how rebellion quietly builds. A self-focused life will leave you relying on yourself when the flood comes in... Isaiah 28:17-19 Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place. 18 Your covenant with death wil...

Will we repent? Will we wait and see what happens? How many storms will it take? How many earthquakes? How many shootings....how much peace will be lifted until the people of the earth relent and give leadership back to the one who died for us to have a choice? What will it take to raise up a global worship movement to enthrone Jesus as King of Kings? That's easy: 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, and 7 Bowls.... The real question is: will you be one of the saints singing them out, or one the rebels calling God evil for giving people what they want? Its a hard question... Psalms 149:1-9 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. 4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. 5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing a...
