Still Reeling

-

We are living in a world that is spinning wildly out of control. Every time I look at the news I see more murder, shootings, and attacks all over the world. It can quickly cause us to feel like we are all at risk and fear soon follows. There is no doubt that things aren’t well in the world today.


I have given birth to three babies and am awaiting my fourth. Each one has been natural so I know full well about the pain of delivering a child. The bible refers to the end times as being like a woman in labor pains (Romans 8:22).

Every so often I see the contractions of labor in this world. Each year the contractions are bigger, and stronger, and longer. It keeps coming time after time after time. It can no longer be ignored. Fellow believers, we are entering a time were those contractions are going to get worse. So let be watchful and be ready.

Be aware that Jesus is returning, and He is going to establish His kingdom. The world as we know it is coming to an end, and I say, “Come quickly, lord.”  We need to prepare ourselves for what is coming. As the day of His return draws nearer, so our enemy unleashes hell on those of us that follow Him.

We need to stand firm, together. We need to be in the scripture and know Him by His word. We need to be in prayer for discernment and wisdom. We need to pray his leading and protection of ourselves, our families, and our fellow believers all over the world. We need to be like Him and draw people to the kingdom.

As things in this world get worse and more difficult, the enemy has presented us with a singular opportunity to reach out to those who are in pain to share hope with them. Let us be prepared to do so. Open your hearts and your homes to those who need rest. Reach out to those in trouble. Offer prayer for those who are in pain, and don’t be afraid to mourn with them.

We may see many people pass on and leave us to continue the work here on earth. I’ve seen many good people who have died, and it is not the enemy winning but God bringing home his family by whatever means He sees fit in order to preserve them from the times that are coming. Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it hurts. But as much as you can, rejoice for them, because now they are home and at peace.

And lastly, we need to be strong in our Savior. We are safe because our salvation is secure. The enemy cannot take that from us. We have to stand strong knowing that He has secured our future. He has everything in control, and there is no reason for us to fear what goes on around us. I know it’s easier said than done, but look to Him and you will see things in a better light.


To those of you in a time of pain and uncertainty, we at The Spear are with you. Feel free to comment with prayer requests and testimonies. Part of the reason we have established this blog is to reach out to believers and share hope. We pray for those who are caught up in the pain and suffering of this world. Cling to him, and be encouraged. All pain will end.   “ ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

The Strongest Heart

  I often see people posting on social media about the importance of being kind. It is phrased around the concept of, “You don’t know what people are going through,” or, “The Golden Rule.” What I have found most interesting is that, oftentimes, these people are not calling for more kindness as something they themselves practice, but as a deep cry to be the recipients of it. I have even looked into people that were being cruel or leaving hurtful comments on posts, only to find that they have “anti-bullying” content all over their accounts.  I think most people would simply call this hypocrisy and leave it at that. Make no mistake, it is hypocritical. But there is something more than that. If we look a little bit closer, we see children crying out to be treated in a way that they themselves lack maturity enough to duplicate. They cannot be kind. They cannot act with tenderness, forgiveness, or understanding. Yet, they want to be treated that way. Something in each human being th...

Conspirator executed for treason

Jesus of Nazareth, Enemy of The state, Executed For Treason April, A.D. 30  Jesus of Nazareth was executed today on the orders of the Roman State. Method of execution: Crucifixion. The charge under Roman law was treason, and under Herodian law blasphemy against the Temple. The evidence against this anarchist was so strong that authorities of both the Roman State and the Kingdom of Herod concurred with the arrest and execution, and he was subjected to trial by both governments. And in a rare uprising of spontaneous collective justice, the mass of people who were gathered for Passover called for his execution as well. The mob affirmed their loyalty to the state, chanting, "We have no king but Caesar." Friday's execution ended a career as an anti-government agitator with a long history of lawlessness. The family was in possession of falsified, illegal, and unsanctioned genealogical records which claim to indicate that Jesus was of royal lineage, and undermined the l...

Beauty and the Beast

  As a people we seem to be moving ever farther into the shallow end. The emphasis on the instant, the cheap, and the easily accessible seems to be far outweighing the desire for lasting, meaningful, and precious. A shifting focus to self, while maintaining the condemnations of selfishness, has created a kind of narcissistic syndrome in the mass populace. And to top it all off we have normalized, even celebrated this kind of behavior. We watch it all play out like a bad movie, but we are glued to the screen. Some woman loses her mind in a store, and we whip our phones out. Someone is getting beaten in a crowded parking lot, so we record it for entertainment purposes. We are sick and we like it. We gawk at the beautiful, dripping with extravagance, all while judging their self-absorbed personalities. Our brains are crammed with advertisements on how we can use this pill, cream, workout, clothing item, to be just like them. We are shocked when they are caught cheating, going to rehab...
