[Another View Of Makapu'u Beach, Oahu, Hawaii]
These people in my beach photograph above are enjoying the surf and the beauty of this beach and are no doubt oblivious to the dangerous world events that we face today. As I have previously stated, many people today (perhaps the majority of people) are so wrapped up in the pleasures of this world (and, of course, the everyday cares of life) that they pay no attention to the perilous signs of the end times; the last moments of the last days. I used to be the same way. Thank the good Lord that He opened my eyes and my heart to spiritual matters; to a saving faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior, and to a desire to follow in His footsteps and to endeavor to lead a life which is pleasing to Him.
I will not go into all the darkness of this evil world in this article. You are no doubt familiar with how crazy this world has become, and its decadence in so many areas of life. At least true believers in the Savior who try to live a godly life recognize the decay in society today.
Let us talk about Faith, Hope, and Love. Here is a link to a post I made in 2017 on that subject. At this link, there is also a short sermon by Charles Spurgeon on how Jesus loves us. Reading over it again today was encouraging for me, and for all battle weary Christians it will give you encouragement to endure all trials you may be facing today. There is tremendous power in Faith, Hope, and Love.
"But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation." - 1 Thessalonians 5:8
Ephesians 6:11-13 tells us: (11) "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." -
Philippians 4:13
Philippians 4: 6 -7 tells us (6) "Be careful [anxious] for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
Galatians 1:3-4 says: (3) "Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, (4) Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:"
Isn't it amazing how Scriptures can soothe and inspire the soul !!
If you are a born again believer in the Savior Jesus Christ, you have the Holy Spirit living within you to help you to persevere and to endure and to guide you on life's paths and keep you from falling into the hands of the devil.
Following is a 37 minute Middle East Update by Israeli Messianic Jew Amir Tsarfati, who has a thriving ministry that takes him all over the world where he preaches the Gospel and Bible Prophecy. This is his latest video posted May 25, 2019. He not only discusses the Middle East but also about the UK and the EU.
Remember to be constantly in prayer and to read and study God's Word daily. You will thereby grow in faith and draw closer to the good Lord. You will develop a true and lasting relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. It will be a close, personal, and intimate love relationship that will see you through life's difficulties and will keep hope in your heart that soon we will be raptured to be with the Lord forever.
Keep looking up !
Keep watching !
