As I am reading the news this morning it is showing me with every headline just how unstable each day is. Every moment is a gift from God. These are uncertain times, and it seems governments, scientist, and economists are all watching for a disaster of one kind or another. 

There is a great fear that a recession is looming at any moment. Top bankers are warning of a global crash that could arrive, "With a vengeance." China is at the boiling point today, but they are just joining the United States and UK in this economic disaster.

​Yellowstone Park is having a cluster of earthquakes, and the volcano is being watched very closely for eruption. A mega quake could cause this volcano to erupt, and it could have devastating effects on the entire United States and into Canada.

​Then our government! They are so busy fighting among themselves they are blinded often to what we need to protect this country from invasion and terror attacks.

​The world is in a chaotic state. Every country is on the verge of collapse, and mayhem has taken over the streets in many areas. 

​I would like to share a word the Lord spoke to me in 2016. As I read it today I see this clearer and clearer with the passing of time.
 
A word from the Lord 5/24/16
 
The hour to speak out is here. The hour to tell others of Me is here. This is a battle, and you are in a war zone. The enemy will come against you and you must stand and fight. You must understand that the Lord is with you. You must understand that trials and tribulations will come but many victories and successes will come also.
In battle you march towards the battle zone. In battle you fight when necessary. In battle you take ground that has been taken from you. The time of rest is over. The battle has begun. This truly is a battle of all times. This is a battle that will call to the lost to return to the true and living God. To hear My voice and to understand My purpose for their life. To give strength to the weak. To give courage to the cowards. To speak truth to the lies that have been told.
This is the hour. There is no need to search any farther. There is no news that will bring change until a fight has taken place. You will see many rise up in this battle. You will see a true revolution take place. You will see civil unrest grow in your community, in your state, and in your nation. This government will try to suppress the news. They will try to win a war behind the scenes. They will try to deceive the people into believing the lies. They will try to turn this country over to a nation and to a world government.
Do not be fooled. Do not be deceived. Do not believe, but search out My word, pray for victory, retake the darkness, cast out the demonic. Pray for those that are sick of mind and sick of heart. Give encouragement and lift up those that feel despair and want to give up. Suicides are going to increase rapidly, because hope is leaving this nation. But My people who are called by My name are hope givers. They are true hope givers. When My people speak hope, it will radiate from them. This is not the time to lay down your weapons, this is not the time to surrender; this is not the time to wave the white flag. This is the time to stand your ground and go forward to take back ground.

​This word is truer today than it was in 2016. We have won some major battles for our Christian faith. Let's not give up the fight! If this economy crashes; if earthquakes happen; if government continues this road of destruction; if terror hits our streets, we as brothers and sisters in Christ must continue the battle in prayer and offering hope to the hopeless. 

​This is a spiritual war, and we are on the battlefield whether we like it or not. We must be prepared spiritually, mentally, physically and in every way that we can. Prepare!

​In uncertain times we can be certain God is in control, and we can be on His foundation that will never falter in disaster.

​Thank you Jesus!

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.
II Chronicles 16:9
 
A word from the Lord: I know your heart and hear your cries today. The earth is crying out to Me. I am the great I Am. Stand strong, be strong, conquer and overcome. Evil is piercing, and hurtful, but My light shines through My people. Shine I say unto you shine. No compromise, no weakness, no undeserved compassion on the enemy. The enemy is out to kill you and all My people. The time is now for war and war it will be. War is ugly and wearisome. Draw your strength from Me and My Word. You are to fight the spiritual battle for your family. You are chosen to go through as light. You are the one I am using now for this. Pray, pray, pray, study, study, study, show yourself approved. Be ready for battle at all times. Rest is not for now. Now is the time for war; war to win My lost.
 
My thoughts: We have to see evil for what it is. The deceiver covers it and makes it very appealing. Our families can get sucked into beliefs that are lies straight from Satan and Satan can make lies shine very bright and look like truth. The Lord tells us to shine and shine bright, because His light cannot be dulled or covered by anything the enemy has, does or says.

We are in a war and we are to be warriors for Christ. Peace and joy are wonderful and we need them, but we forget the war. War rages on with us or without us. Satan will attack your home, family, job and anything else he can get away with.  I am sure as you read this the Holy Spirit is bringing to your mind something that your family has gone through because of the god of this world was busy distorting and twisting truth for his cause. Our families are ministries. Ministry begins in our homes. We must pray, pray, pray for them.

We must know God’s Word to attack the enemy. Satan knows God’s Word, that is why he can quote it and used scriptures to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, and that is why he can take the truth, and put a little different twist to it, and get people to believe a lie. Satan has had a lot of practice up to this point. Generation after generation, he has tried to deceive. He is pretty good by now, and we have to be grounded in the Lord to see the real truth. Truth is truth, it cannot be changed because we may believe different. Seek the truth today and see your foundation become strong and unshakable.

​Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to you even if it is painful to realize you have been deceived by "the deceiver" and walking in a lie.

Water is one of the essential body requirements you need to live. The most immediate need of the human body, outside of oxygen, is water.  The body can survive up to about 40 days without food but only about 3 days without water.

In dreams water and fire usually represents the Holy Spirit, cleansing or purifying. 

​Yesterday was Pentecost Sunday. A time to remember the coming of the Holy Spirit. God came down in the flesh to walk the earth as a man, and now He comes to dwell within us. How exciting this is! In celebrating this we must also remember the price that was paid for the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in us.

JOHN 19:28-30 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. [NKJV]

Crucifixion was one of the most cruel and agonizing ways to die. Imagine Jesus was beaten, a crown of thorns was placed on His head, He was bleeding precious body fluids while receiving no water to drink. He would hang for hours in agony on that cross continuing to lose fluids from His body.

Psalm 22:14-18
I am poured out like water,
And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted within Me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced My hands and My feet;
17 I can count all My bones.
They look and stare at Me.
18 They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots. [NKJV]
 
But I believe Jesus thirsted for more than just water.
 
Jesus thirsted for us literally and spiritually. He knew all prophesy concerning Him up to that point had been fulfilled everything that was supposed to happen had happened. Everything except one thing.
Psalm 69:21 They also gave me gall for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
 
Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished so that the scriptures would be fulfilled said, “I thirst.” This would finish His life on earth. There were over 300 Old Testament prophecies that described the Messiah. Jesus fulfilled every one of them during His life and death. The probabilities of a person being able to do this is impossible!
 
He was God yet a man who endured all of the things we endure in our life and more. He had to live on earth without God to know what that is like! I thirst! Forever God and now, forever Man.
 
Jesus had been beaten, spit on, mocked, stripped naked, and nailed to the cross. Yet in those words, "I thirst," the longing for His Father to look upon Him again. I THIRST! Jesus now had fulfilled all things the scriptures would tell us about the Messiah. He knows our thirst for water, and He knows what it is like to be separated from God and thirst for Him.

​I thirst for you Lord! I hunger and thirst for righteousness.
 
Now the fire!
Acts 2:1-4 The day of Pentecost
When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
 
On the Day of Pentecost, in the upper room. Waiting but not knowing when. How they must have thirsted for Him again, their Lord, their teacher; their leader; their friend. Once you have tasted how can you not thirst for more? About 10 days after Jesus ascended the Holy Spirit would fall upon the 120 in the upper room, and many more, waiting for the promise. Their thirst would be quenched in that moment.

​I have seen great moments when the Holy Spirit moves in fire and flows like a river. A little here and a little there. I have tasted, and now I thirst for more. Come again Holy Spirit with fire and quench our thirst I pray. Although the Spirit lives in us, I long for a refilling in me, and all around the world. Cover the earth Lord with your glory!

Do you hunger for righteousness? Righteousness is right standing with God, Christian Justice! I long for this world to be just in the ways of God. If ever there was a time I hungered for righteousness and justice in this life it is now. In Matthew 5:6 it says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."

​Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness...

​Isaiah would never have known how relevant this would be in 2017. My mind just gets baffled at what human beings can do and say to one another. Those that are speaking hateful words accuse others of hate speech. Those that put out propaganda accuse others of propaganda. The violent accuse others of violence.  It is crazy!!!! But above all this as I watch the courts shut down free speech for the unborn, for the most innocent of all human beings, for the children who are sold for sex, and abused repeatedly, I cry for justice.

​I recently watched a documentary on Netflix called, "I Am Jane Doe." This is about young girls being sold over and over again for sex. It is heartbreaking! Mothers going to Backpage and seeing their missing teenage daughters posing in ads for sex. Some of these girls have been rescued and the fight is on against this advertising company that helps with writing these ads to boost sales, and never investigates if these are children, and the courts stand for the advertising company, and not the children. It is sickening. Please watch this documentary and educate yourself about this injustice!

​If you're tired of the fake news outlets, and the attempt to shut down conservative voices, check out a new website mediaequalizer.com. Check them out!

Remember it is those that hunger and thirst after righteousness. We must stand together in this fight.
