The beginning of the end was a phrase I heard my grandmother, Maudie Manning Breedlove use in applicable situations. These particular situations would be defined by her own outlook which was usually bleak if she had defined the situation by this statement. I think the news, talk shows, certain ministries, people in general have made it abundantly clear that it is all but over and done!!! Some people are in a state of shock over the condition of our great country. You can find written expressions on all social media outlets and it's the topic of most conversations. I am also very disturbed over the condition of my country and the direction it is traveling. However we serve an awesome God that is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting!!!
"Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed UNTO THE END of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy SALVATION COMETH; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him." (Isaiah 62:11 KJV)
God has not shut down His Kingdom!! He has proclaimed unto the END, His salvation for His people at all times under any circumstances. Let us be aware and very conscious of Biblical Truth at all times. You will find TRUTH written in your Bible, read it, act upon it, speak the Word of God rather than opinions of men!
The Word will fill you with Faith and Peace but the turbulence of these times can shake you to the core. I've been on flights where the turbulence was so bad that without a seat belt it would shake you out of your seat, literally!! Yes, we are flying through turbulent times but we are in the steady hands of a very competent Captain so just tighten your seat belt a bit, the born again are about to gain altitude and fly over the worst storm this world has ever seen to date. In spite of what some may say, Revelation chapter 4 and beyond has not happened yet, I won't be here!!

"The Lord hath need of you"
Yes, Jesus needs you because the "fields are white unto harvest"! It is most definitely time to be about "the Father's business". We've reached the 7 billion mark in our earth population some time ago which brings us to the fact that 2.87 billion people have NEVER heard the name, "JESUS CHRIST"!
Our ministries are preaching to people that have never heard the Gospel of Jesus !! It is sad that we have so many people on earth that have not had an opportunity to be introduced to Jesus!! God ordained the preaching of the Gospel to go to all nations!!! When Jesus came into town a few days before His crucifixion, He was carried by a colt, an animal that was delivering Jesus to the world!! Are we delivering Jesus to the world, bearing His cross as His servants to reach the masses with the Good News of Salvation?? He has empowered us to reach the ends of the earth with this Good News!!!
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (Acts 1:8 KJV)

The Voices.......
The voices you hear by day don't tend to bother you as much because you have distractions from your job, friends, family, etc... However the voices of the night have an intimidating power to their sound that brings you into a state of fear. What voices, you may be thinking, SERIOUSLY?!? You really don't have thought processes that you hear talking to you about the life choices you will make every day and night? The choices that must be made about family, about finances, about faith, about the future don't cause you to silently talk to yourself? Wow!! If you are a person that has it all figured out, you are amazing!!! But for the rest of us that don't have it all figured out, try to tune the voices out that bring fear and confusion. Listen quietly for "The Voice" that controls the universe, "The Voice" of many waters, "The Voice" that moves mountains because that one voice can move your mountain is in the midst of the voices!! As you tune the others out, one by one, His voice will get louder. The mountains that frustrate you every day to the point that you can't hear "The Voice", He can move the MOUNTAIN... Shhh.... Listen......

"Jesus is Lord!"
Jesus Christ came to earth by way of a virgin named Mary that conceived after the "Holy Ghost came upon her"! He is the Son of God, God manifest in the flesh!!
"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." (Luke 1:35 KJV)
Jesus came to where we were because we could not possibly get to Him by way of any of our religious works. He is the Grace of God manifested on earth to bring us into the family of God. We were lost and wandering in darkness but He is the Light, our only Hope in this world. At present there are over 7 billion people on planet earth, many of which have never even heard the Name, JESUS CHRIST!! Unfortunately there are thousands that have heard much about Jesus but have no intention of calling on Him as Savior. It is my desire to preach the Gospel to all men but I have read the Bible so I'm aware that many will reject Christ. They have convinced themselves that they have no need of God in their lives but "every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess". Jesus died on the cross as our Passover Lamb but when He comes again He with be "The Lion of the Tribe of Judah", "King of Kings and Lord of Lords".
"For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." (Romans 14:11 KJV)
I humbly ask you to call on Jesus right now to come into your life as Lord and Savior!! He is the only hope you have of everlasting life, the only way of being delivered from an eternity of hell fire and brimstone, weeping and gnashing of teeth!! Today is the day of SALVATION!!

"He Ruleth"
I am fully aware that the whole world seems to be in chaos and completely out of control. In many ways it appears to have gone crazy, just when I think I've heard or seen it all something else will top the chart of insanity!!! Don't make the mistake of forgetting that "Our God" is the creator of the entire universe and He still holds the world in His hands!!! Face it, you can't handle your storm any longer, you've tried to hold it together but it's still coming unglued in your face. You are sinking in a dark hole of depression and oppression, you can't even see the bottom of your hole because it's too dark. But, our God watches the nations, He keeps His eyes on all the people of the earth at all times!! He hasn't forgotten you nor any of the details of your life. If you are breathing, you have a purpose so just keep leaning on Jesus!! If you hit bottom, don't fear, He's holding the bottom in place for you. He will pick you up, dust you off and send you on your way to fulfill what you were born to do! TRUST HIM!!!!!

"I wish we'd all been ready"
Life was filled with guns and war
And all of us got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
The children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and
Turns her head, he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and
One's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
The father spoke, the demons dined
How could you have been so blind?
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
There's no time to change your mind

You've been left behind Larry Norman (1969)

Your miracle is just over the next hill so don't stop now when you are so close!!! God's strength and power is unchallenged so trust it, you will be Blessed!!!

"the kisses of His mouth"
"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine."(Song of Solomon 1:2 KJV)
The Song of Songs, written by King Solomon, the son of David! It is a love story with great depth and intimacy. It is prophetic as well as practical. Prophetic in the sense of the coming Christ and His Bride, practical in reference to the intimate relationship of a husband and his wife!! Please, married couples, do yourself a favor and read it slowly, deliberately and together, it will give you a glimpse into a love only enjoyed by spiritual minded people. Sadly, most have never read it through because they bog down somewhere but please just keep reading and pray for revelation knowledge, it will come!! Solomon is always referred to as the "Beloved"and she is always referred to as "my love". The places, pleasures and power of their intimacy is referenced many times in the Song!! The anatomy of each one is described in vivid detail as well as in glimpses as if to be seen only in the shadows of the night.
All of the beautiful components of love are referenced, the drawing power of being noticed, the beating of hearts as one, weakness only brought by the intimacy of marital love..... In chapter 5 He calls her to a higher level of intimacy which she doesn't understand but follows anyway because her heart is bound to His!!! The song continues with her maturing to the point in chapter 7:11 that she ask him to come with her...... We find them together in chapter 8
"Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned." (Song of Solomon 8:6-7 KJV)
"And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don't have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way...
Oh, how He loves us oh,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
How He loves". Dave Crowder Band

Favored by God!!
"But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield". (Psalms 5:11-12 KJV)
David says that God will FAVOUR the righteous and put a shield around the righteous! We are righteous by the Blood of Jesus!!! The promises to the righteous in the scripture are literally endless. If you know Jesus, you are righteous and God has plans for you. He will bring you into His Favor to enable you to bring His purpose to pass with success!! Quit thinking you can get it done and rely on God's Favor to get it done!!! Whatever trial you are in will come to pass and you will rise above it to a greater day of victory and favor!!! It will happen....
"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:31-32 KJV)

"It is what it is"
"Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set."(Proverbs 22:28)
"Ancient Landmark" The word "ancient" means "concealed in eternity past". The verse as a whole is a reference to the foundational doctrines of the Word of God. Have you ever heard someone at church say, "we need to get back to the old landmarks"? Unfortunately that is not at all what this verse is talking about because it doesn't tell us to "go back" to anything. It says that we are not to "remove" the ancient landmarks and ancient is not a reference to time but eternity. Our word "old" is a word of comfort that represents, in our human emotion, a place in time when we felt comfortable with our environment. The Word of God always tells us to move forward into the future, into the vision and destiny that our wonderful Savior has for us. It's a foundation that we must work from to fulfill the will of God for our lives. When we don't have a solid foundation to stand on, we are always wanting to go back to that comfortable place in time that we remember as the "good place". The word "set" means "to do, make or SHEW"! You have to be called, anointed and inspired by the Holy Spirit to be able to reveal these "Landmarks", the truths of God's Word. It is a spiritual book and it's often easier to say, "Lets get back to the old" rather than moving into the future by faith. "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."(Psalm 119:89). We often take comfort in our past experiences because our past is a place of familiarity rather than the uncharted territory that we are yet to conquer. A great man by the name of Moses died in a wilderness with two million walking dead people because he couldn't leave the dead. God had told him to move on but he was convinced he could fix the people he loved so much, but you can't fix people that are uncomfortable in the Presence of the Voice of God! He kept going BACK to the people he was emotionally attached to instead of crossing the Jordan River into the land that flows with milk and honey. If you are on a journey and you are off by one degree, you will miss your destination by miles! If you are traveling at a slow speed and are always thinking back to a comfortable place in time, you will never arrive at the place called DESTINY!! Destiny challenges us to go forward not backwards!! We like to "go back" because it doesn't challenge us. You will always blame your failure on something or someone else, instead of allowing God's Spirit to navigate your life. "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"(Matthew 6:23) When the "light" is "dark", how great IS thy darkness?? When you are following a spiritual emotion that makes you feel good so you call it truth simply by assumption then what you call "Light" is actually "Dark" and you are in a world of trouble with a blindfold on.... It's a bit scary if you think about it, maybe that is why Jesus said, "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath."(Mark 4:23-15) "Take heed what you hear", What you hear could be off by one degree and you'll never reach your intended destination and the sad thing is, you'll never even know it because what you perceive to be light is really your darkness. Watch your step and make sure you are following the Truth not Tradition. If you are following religious tradition dressed in a new suit of clothes, the new look doesn't make it TRUTH!!!

God have Mercy!!
I receive emails and pictures on a daily basis from 8 Ministers in Pakistan. The daily inflow is overwhelming to me emotionally and burdens my Spirit in a way I cannot explain. One village with 100 families, 80 converted to Christianity with 20 remaining Islamic in their religion. One day trucks filled with Islamic Terriost came to town and burned down all 80 of the Christian homes and businesses. The photos of the homes and businesses burning was staggering, heartbreaking and very emotional. The pictures I've received since the church bombings in Lahore, Pakistan are graphic so I've chosen not to post them publicly. In one of the photos the Pakistan Christians are MARCHING IN THE STREETS for freedom from Islam!!!! They have no fear, they are sold out for the whole route. The question I have is, when are our elected leaders going to represent us instead of voting "politically correct" for their personal benefit??? Please pray for Christians around the world as they are being murdered for their faith in Christ. Pray for the protection of our military at home, abroad and our local law enforcement officers that God would protect them as they do their job. "Brethren, pray for us." (1 Thessalonians 5:25 KJV)

What is burning a hole in your heart today? What are you so anxious about today that you don't even feel like eating or drinking enough to sustain your health. God is there for you, call on Him, ask Him to hurry as David did..... God is always close to those He loves!!! Just lean over and cry on His shoulder, He can carry you through this storm!!

The War is Real...
The war is real but VICTORY is certain through Jesus Christ. Some people have no idea that we are in a spiritual war for our families, churches and country. What we see in the natural is controlled by what we don't see in the spirit world unless you are gifted prophetically. Some of you are reading this because you are seeking answers from God because the war that you are fighting is smothering the life out of you. Questions are racing through your mind....How did we ever get here? Is it my fault? How will I ever get through this nightmare with my family and life in one piece? Jesus is the answer to all that we seek!!

"Blessed in Heavenly places"
We are Blessed in Christ in Heavenly places with "ALL" spiritual blessings! We are secure in Christ and He is seated at the right hand of the Father in heavenly places. We are in Him, He is in us and He is the anchor of our souls!!
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:" (Ephesians 1:3 KJV)
"And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" (Ephesians 2:6 KJV)
Born again Believers are raised from the spiritual dead and seated in Christ in the heavenly places. He is the "Anchor" that holds us securely in the body of Christ! Our Heavenly Father will never leave us, forsake us or disown us because of the blood and name of His Son, Jesus Christ!!
"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;" (Hebrews 6:19 KJV)
Our salvation is "sure and steadfast" because it rest in Christ not ourselves, in Grace not works which we have done. Thank you Jesus for being my Saviour!

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:" (Ephesians 1:3 KJV)
"And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" (Ephesians 2:6 KJV)
Born again Believers are raised from the spiritual dead and seated in Christ in the heavenly places. He is the "Anchor" that holds us securely in the body of Christ! Our Heavenly Father will never leave us, forsake us or disown us because of the blood and name of His Son, Jesus Christ!!
"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;" (Hebrews 6:19 KJV)
Our salvation is "sure and steadfast" because it rest in Christ not ourselves, in Grace not works which we have done. Thank you Jesus for being my Saviour!

They were wrong...
Have you ever been criticized? Have you been told that you would never accomplish anything? If you weren't told by someone's voice, you could feel it emitting from their judgmental spirit or maybe the way they looked at you. Were you bullied in school? Are you intimidated now? Did you have to hang out with the "unpopular" group because you weren't cool enough to hang out with the self-proclaimed"cool" people? Today, you are an adult with a load of toxic memories that haunt you especially when you see certain people in public but the "elephant in the room" is never discussed but quietly left under the rug. When you see them they do one of two things, go down the isle your not on or stop and talk as if nothing ever happened....THEY WERE WRONG then and THEY ARE WRONG now!!!! You can be or do anything God has purposed for you. There should be a dream deep down in your Spirit that God placed there many years ago but because of what "they" said and say, you keep your future repressed. You take it out and look at it, dream about it occasionally but you put your dream back in its cage. The reason you do that is because those toxic memories are just as real today as they were when you walked the halls of your high school. Let it out, turn it loose and let it lead you in the way that God created for you!! Yes, you are gifted, talented and one of a kind that God created for a special place in this world!!! THEY WERE WRONG then and THEY ARE WRONG now about you. Don't let anyone or anything hold you back.

At any moment....
At any moment....
In a fraction of a second God can bring us into His Favour which would forever alter the quality and course of our lives!! Daniel had purposed in his heart to stay dedicated to his God in the midst of pagan worship. Daniel was being held captive in Babylon, Iraq!! After the fall of Jerusalem, he, along with thousands of other Jews were marched to and held captive in what is now known as Iraq. In spite of Daniel's circumstances "God brought Daniel into Favour"!! God can make everyone and everything we need to fulfill His purpose through us come into our lives in the very next breath we breathe. The question remains, do we have "Faith for Favour"??
Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. (Daniel 1:9 KJV)
God has plans for you, all you need now is His Favour to enable you to get it done!!

God is able...
Today, right now in real time, God is able to do anything and everything that you need Him too! In the Gospels, when a man was faced with the news of the death of his daughter, Jesus turned to him and said "Be not afraid, only believe". (Mark 5:36) It doesn't matter what your circumstances are today, God is Able to make it right!!
"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"(Ephesians 3:20 KJV)
"Be not afraid, only Believe"

"Are we there yet?"
Have you ever felt like your life was just drying up in front of your very eyes? It is happening and it doesn't seem like there is a thing you can do except sink deeper into the hole in your life. The Prophet Elijah had prayed, a drought comes into the land and it had even dried up his own water source. God always has a plan to provide for us but we have to be still enough to hear His Voice!! The inspired man of God is led to a widow's home but she only has one meal left for her and her son which they are about to eat and die. It doesn't look like it is a place of provision but they obeyed God's instruction, fixed a meal for the Man of God first by faith and God provided miraculously for them by multiplying their food in store every day. Our obedience to God can turn a desert into standing water!! TRUST HIM, it's not what it looks like, follow your faith and process your emotions the best you can until the blessings begin to flow. IT WILL RAIN in your life again!!!
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell THERE: behold, I have commanded a widow woman THERE to sustain thee. (1 Kings 17:7-9 KJV)
God has a "THERE" for all of us!!

"Ask"
"Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field."(Zechariah 10:1)
"Ask". After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Father, You are Holy, Righteous, Pure and we approach you in the Name of Jesus. We come before Your throne by the cleansing Blood of Jesus Christ!! Our prayer is, Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Please allow us the spiritual vision to see and experience Your kingdom on earth. We know that you desire Your will to be manifested in the earth and that we have a purpose on this planet to expand Your kingdom. We are keenly aware that we are in Your kingdom and that Your kingdom is in us. Please Lord God, give us this day our daily bread and provide every need we have in every area of our life. "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."(Phillippians 4:19) O'God, forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, our sins as we forgive those that have sinned against us. We forgive all those that have hurt us in any way, at any time and under any circumstances. Please forgive us of every wrong thought, word and action!! Please lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: Jesus, make the way straight, the paths smooth, the mountains low and the valleys level. We thank You, Father, that we are protected from all evil and no evil will visit our dwelling. "There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling."(Psalm 91:10) Zechariah the Prophet says to "Ask ye of The Lord" for rain in the time of the latter rain, bright clouds and showers in the last days! Lord God Almighty, rain down upon us and shower us with Your blessings from on high. "The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow."(Deuteronomy 28:12)
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever, In JESUS NAME, Amen.

Israel.......
It is sad that so many people have no idea why we should stand with Israel at all times. It is an insult that some of the leaders of America are clueless to the consequence of not standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel. God ordained a nation to come from the loins of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, we know them as Jews. It is from this amazing group of people that our Savior Jesus Christ came to the world by way of a young Jewish virgin named Mary. Where would we be without Jesus? There are blessings in the Bible promised to anyone that will bless Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem!!
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES of the earth be blessed."(Genesis 12:3 KJV)
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces." (Psalms 122:6-7 KJV)
Those that stand with and pray Israel for will be blessed, those that are against Israel will regret the error of their way!!!

Someone you love is always watching....
What do you value most? Do you want to put your faith and family values at risk by feeding your flesh with entertainment it doesn't need nor is it good for you. If you open your "mind gate" and let things in they will produce "after their on kind". You will see it manifested again in yourself, your children, grandchildren, etc....yes it will come back home. When you open your eye gate, ear gate, etc...you should only let in what is wholesome. Once you get it in your life it's hard to get rid of!! I know staying focused on our Spirit man in this chaotic society is not the easiest thing to do but someone in your world is depending on you to be strong more than you can ever imagine!!!
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house." (Matthew 5:14-15 KJV)

But God....
When you hit bottom you could have, would have, should have fell even deeper into the hole than the proverbial bottom "But God" caught you!!! He will also, once again, set you upon the solid ROCK!!! If you don't feel stabile yet, pay your feelings no attention because He is not always felt but He can always be TRUSTED!!
