Humble Yourselves

Having exhorted humility toward others, Peter now exhorts humility toward God, especially in relation to the unpleasant circumstances in which the believers find themselves. They are to regard these circumstances as God’s sovereign will for them.

As a result, in their distress they are not to shake their fist at the heavens but are to humbly accept their suffering as God’s will, at least for the time being. When Christ returns, God will lift them from this humbled state to a position of honored exaltation.

In the meantime, if their suffering should tempt them to question God’s attitude toward them, they should remember that God cares for them, which should lead them to share their anxiety with God in prayer. They need to keep their heads, being mindful that their difficulties open them up to the devil’s wiles. He is like a ravenous lion who will devour them if he can, which echoes the description of the enemies of the suffering psalmist in Psalm 22:13.

The devil is the greatest enemy the faithful have. Indeed, instead of abandoning the faith because of their difficulties, they must stand firm and remember that they are not in this fight alone. They are part of a far-reaching family that knows these same kinds of trials.

Furthermore, these trials are not the end of the story, for one day God will fulfill the plans to which he originally called them. Then they will live out their lives in the eternal glory God has prepared for them. Since God is all-powerful, they can be sure that he will bring this great hope of theirs to pass.

Take Action Before It's Too Late! - Karen Hardin

March 13,2024

Both of today's articles show how the Chinese government is increasing its control over their population and any foreigners living there. Keep in mind, this is the direction the Left is trying to take the U.S. and all nations as well under a one world government. We know from scripture that it will eventually come, but it is NOT the Lord's will for it to happen before the Lord's return. If the Church keeps its head in the sand though and refuses to understand that we are the ones who allow wickedness to flourish in our land or we are the ones who can bring reformation, then we are condemning millions to hell.

Isaiah 56:1 NIV says "This is what the LORD says: 'Maintain justice and do what is right...'"

Response to Biden via IFA (Intercessors for America) following Biden’s SOTU Address - Carol Basset

carol bassettLast night, you presented your assessment of the priorities for our nation. I would like to share my priorities with you.
But first, there may be one aspect of the state of the union that flies under the radar: I want you to know that people of faith like me are intentionally uniting to pray for leaders like you—for wisdom, for discernment, and for your colleagues.


Whether we agree or not on what America has always stood for, how America is doing, and what America needs, I want you to know that I make it a top priority to pray for you as you serve. Especially that your mind will be enlightened to Truth, not impaired by any medical condition nor influenced by the powerful group of influential people globally who have been pushing, now overtly, for our nation's demise.

The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis

CHAPTER VIII  -- Of the danger of too much familiarity

Open not thine heart to every man, but deal with one who is wise and feareth God. Be seldom with the young and with strangers. Be not a flatterer of the rich; nor willingly seek the society of the great. Let thy company be the humble and the simple, the devout and the gentle, and let thy discourse be concerning things which edify. Be not familiar with any woman, but commend all good women alike unto God. Choose for thy companions God and His Angels only, and flee from the notice of men.

2. We must love all men, but not make close companions of all. It sometimes falleth out that one who is unknown to us is highly regarded through good report of him, whose actual person is nevertheless unpleasing to those who behold it. We sometimes think to please others by our intimacy, and forthwith displease them the more by the faultiness of character which they perceive in us.

Exposure in the Church

I had a dream (on March 5, 2024) that more exposure in elements of the Church NEEDS to happen. The shocking thing I knew was that the exposure we have seen so far among several denominations and streams of the Church has not yet uncovered someone that was revealed to me of whom I was not given a name or face... But who I saw was a type of "king pin" involved in heinous, immoral activity (including human/child trafficking within and through the 'church' system). Again, I didn't see a face or hear a name, but was made aware that there was someone like this.  continue reading >>>
