Revival in Jesus Christ, in these last days.
What is Apostasy? Many Churches today only quote scripture for manipulative conveniences and operate with sensualism, rather than the truth! We must pray that Jesus Christ shows us the way. As a believer, I am having a hard time finding others to come together in the name of Jesus Christ.“Where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them.” (Jesus Christ, Holy Bible)
God bless our youth, who stand in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen and amen. 3/16/26
Look at the reactions when this man asks people if they believe in Jesus Christ. 3/16/26
2 Thessalonians 2:3: warns believers not to be deceived about the return of the Lord, stating that "that day will not come unless the rebellion occurs first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.”
The Truth by Cliff Tompkins
Ever since I can remember, I would look up and see that there is more positivity in the air than there was on the ground. When we travel to a distant land or a different state, there is a different feeling that one gets, while absorbing their foreign surroundings.
I grew up in a small or medium sized city, Grand Rapids, Michigan. This city was always surrounded by churches throughout, professing the dominance of Jesus Christ. The politics of this city, as with any other city, also had boundaries that fundamentally kept society playing by governing politics, right, wrong, and often, indifferently. For the most part, Grand Rapids was safe within its “Christian boundaries” and offered a little something for everyone, including a systematic nightlife, usually. This happens when fundamentalism sets precedence and today, I miss some of the fundamental practices that I once thought of as being unfair or partisan towards making examples out of select people, such as myself. Nothing comes for free in this world that time doesn’t dictate. As I grew older, I have witnessed that, it’s actually a common practice within our democracy. TV magic means waiting for the heads to turn. In other words,”have a good time” but when the morning comes, everything changes.
I come from a broken home. I had to fight for everything that I think I own and that includes the space to rest my head. I’ve always been able to discern common situations and have the faith and ability to put strength into my tackle or persevering tasks, usually rewarding my efforts by doing things that I should not be doing, going to a bar, smoking, miserable friendships, etc.
I understand why there are so many broken families and why the fundamentalists have their control, hiding behind religion. Money buys things, but it doesn’t buy happiness and Godly health. For example, I can remember a Christmas morning, Santa came and loaded the house full of goodies. And, on that very same day, Jesus Christ is remembered for being such a cute baby from a poor family, and oh yeah, it was his birthday and we have to be nice. One Christmas, I remember that Santa forgot the humungous candy bar that was missing from my stocking, everyone else got one. Well, I got my mouth slapped for calling Santa out and his poor excuses. It was that day that I knew Santa was in no way like poor little Jesus.
Today, I am facing the scriptures, after surrendering my fears to the Lord Jesus Christ. You may ask, how? Talk to the lord, in your heart and aloud. God knows the truth better than I know myself! I still suffer from anxious moments and I know why. I am trying to understand and control the circumstances and I can’t. I can only control my reaction. Then, once I fall into prayer, my burden is lightened and my heart is lighter. And, by perseverance, my faith increases, my soul is still. It’s all about blind trust and putting unseen faith into that blind trust. The truth only hurts, possibly, upon the initial initiation. Once I choose to follow the truth, everything else falls behind, and that includes the fear. It is written, “know the truth, and it will make you free” (John 8:31-32). I can testify, thank you, Jesus Christ.
In Christ,
