The US presidential race has started out a a couple pretty bizarre notes, to say the least.  And we're just at the beginning of this particular train wreck, which I suspect will just got worse & worse.  So I think this child of God needs to pull away and stop paying so much attention and time to this particular worldly thing, which will just be dissolved by God's glory.  (2 Peter 3:11)

What about you . . . had enough?

Glad to hear, my friend. I've never paid any attention to it, even before I came to the Lord.

I have to pay a certain amount of attention to it because of my job. Elections and other slow motion train wrecks do affect the financial markets and I have to be able to discuss that with clients. Other than that I try to pay attention to what's going on only for the purpose of trying to avoid being blindsided. I have enough on my plate trying to follow Jesus.

I look on from a distance and remember two things;

1.  24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. (Dan.4:24–25).

2. The time of the Gentiles has an end. Christ will rule. And He will appoint the worthy servants over cities (Lk.19:17-19). I need to make my own election sure.

Train wreck sounds about right. I have mixed feelings about it. I don't like the precedents it's setting and how blatantly it tells us that money governs who even makes it as a candidate. Beyond that I'm detached enough to be able to follow it along and I'm curious to want to know. But where it hits hardest for me is within the church. There's a whole lot of vehemently insisting a particular party or candidate is chosen by God or in league with Satan based on their positions on a handful of issues. It's almost always more complicated than that. In many cases these promises evaporate so quickly after election that it's practically a cliche.

Indeed - that is regarding some groups of Christians claiming that a certain person is definitely God's anointed and must take power at all costs!  And what often follows are ad hominin attacks and childish name calling.  This sets off an alarm within me.

What I hear is one bunch of hypocrites calling the other bunch "hypocrites" (well they started it!).  It's really just Adam doing his thing, which shouldn't surprise us too much . . .

And ample mud-slinging from both sides.  Too bad things have devolved to this in our country, but people and the media seem to perpetuate it all the more.  (not to mention the flesh, the world & the devil - oh, guess I did mention those . . .)

"Seeing as these things will be dissolved" - I just keep coming back to this!

Really emphasizes how much we need to come together and encourage each other and warn as we SEE the Day (of the LORD in judgment) coming. (Heb. 10: 24

When I see how crazy and immoral the country has gotten with most Democrats accepting and sometimes promoting the transgender, gay agenda to even young children, I will vote conservative.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
