The signs of the end times are all around us. The Lord can come any day to snatch you out before the worst catastrophes overtake the world. Are you ready to receive Him? God loves you where you’re at and will forgive you instantly, but He does not want you to be conformed to this world. He wants you to know His perfect will for your life and to live your life unto Him. (Rom. 12: 1-3) Christ died in order to leave you His Holy Spirit. With Him you can indeed do all things (Phil. 4:13) by letting go of your problems and shortcomings and allowing Him to lead you.
Wouldn’t you love to know exactly how to pray so that all your needs are met? So often we pray, hoping that God will hear us on time and come through with the miracle we need so desperately.

After reading “A Divine Revelation of Hell” by Mary K. Baxter, I have not been the same! It is truly life infusing! Even though I have been a Christian for thirty years I have never been so conscious of the consequences of sin. The church in general has been much too complacent about the judgment of God. We want all of His blessings; yet we don’t want to follow all of His Commandments. In Deuteronomy 28 God clearly lays out his criteria for being blessed.
Crises crop up over and over again in this imperfect world.
