Fermentation of Things to Come.

Glass Of Wine

In responding to things said by others, sometimes we stumble on words that speak of things a lot higher than our thoughts:

Bemoaning the onslaught of wickedness seen in the powers of this world, a friend posted his mind. ( http://shortfellow.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/come-quickly-lord/ )

The following reply came as fast as my stumbly fingers could cut loose of them:

What we are witnessing is the fermentation of a wine which the nations will gather to drink on that great day in the valley of decision. Let them gather their crop of wickedness. Let them press out all the filth they can drink. They are preparing a war toast. And they will gather together to toast to what they perceive as a victory against God.

Even so, Lord Jesus, come.

Official presidential portrait of Barack Obama...

President Obama and his staff will remain in power until the Lord removes him.  What will be accomplished to the nation will be accomplished, and there will be no avoiding what is coming.  It is God, Himself, who is in control of all things.  Even what appears to man as wicked falls under His final authority.  Either justice will be rendered as we live in this tent of flesh, or the Justice of God will be rendered at the final day of sin.  But make no mistake; God is sovereign.

Personally, I believe the current trend of approaching communism will continue until America, as we knew it, is obliterated.  Man’s version of freedom is to accomplish anything BUT the will of God.  We have been allowed to exercise our sins long enough.  And God will not allow it to continue. 

It is God’s mercy that such freedom to sin is taken from the hand of man.  Do not consider it a loss.  Rather, consider it an oportunity to seek the face of the One who made all men.  I speak as one who is coming to know that the punishments inflicted by God to His people are a loving hand which directs us to become His people; those who know the difference between what is right and what is wrong.

What is coming upon America is at God’s direction.  And those who rebel against His will, will suffer.  Prepare yourself for what is coming by humbling yourself before the Most High God.  Accept His direction and submit that you might receive His gift in Jesus, His Holy Son.  Regardless the tendencies of society or politics, this submission is required for all who will live.  How much more important does this submission become under times of God’s rebuke?

Encounter with Holiness

Fire! Fire!

I looked and God focused my eyes.

What did I see, but a blazing inferno of Holiness.

I cried against the blast of heat,

“Where are You Lord?”  My voice consumed by the roar.

Listening ear turned toward the flames, while fear and confusion rage.

Then I heard.

A word spoken, and not to my ear.

The mind understood, and the heart comprehended.

Yet no sound moved that ear drum.

“Here I am.  Come into the flames.”

“I will die!  For those flames have no passage way.”

I replied what I perceived to the spoken unspoken words.

“That is exactly the point.”  Came the “understanding” again.

Desire for Him caused my feet to move forward.

And the horrible heat burned my soul.

Anguish and pain roared against my domain.

Yet, desire provoked me to walk.

I stood in the flame and beheld as I could.

And, with marvel, my sins dropped away.

Fullness of mind came to be mine, and I heard that unspoken word once again.

“You are clean now by My power and mercy.

Go back to your humble abode.”

“Oh Lord!” I cried out with a bellowing voice.

“Why can’t I stay here and learn?”

“I will teach you from here, to the place you live there.

And My ways you will learn in their full.

If you would desire to know what My will is for you,

you will find it among the people.”

By His Grace.
