Saints Know The Hour In Which You Are Living Part 1

Saints I have had it on my heart, for many reasons, to understand why these terrible storms and hurricanes are coming upon not just America, but Jamaica, Cuba, and other parts of the world.

I awoke this morning to a word from the Lord, "The Sea and the Waves are roaring and on earth there is perplexity among nations."

Saints God is so very faithful, He knows our hearts, He does not desire that we be ignorant of the times in which we live. Nor saints does He desire that we be ignorant of Satan's devices. I went straight to the word and the Lord began to speak to me. These storms are to be saints, the reason for them is not as some would have us to believe, they are not merely God's judgment upon America alone, they are the days of the vengance of the Lord upon all sin, the beginning of the signs before His return:

Luke 21:20-28

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Saints first I must say, I do not agree with the division of Israel, I know God is not pleased with anyone defying His Word, ( in any manner, on any issue, for any reason), and God will bring His judgment upon all who seek to divide Jerusalem.

I hate sin, however I do not hate the sinner.

I hate a lot of what our president has done, I don't however hate our president.

I don't believe there is anywhere in the Word of God that instructs us to hate anyone, we are to hate sin, we are to be troubled to the point of being broken and weeping over sin. We are to be distraught as Noah was over the sin of his day, but we are not to hate the sinner.

I heard a saint point out other day how in essence there are many basically rubbing their hands together and salivating awaiting the destruction of America. I to have sensed this attitude with some. He also pointed out that he feels their may be witchcraft involved in conjuring up these various storms we are having, I am not going to touch that subject today.

I will say however a big word of caution to those of you who are eager for God to send His judgement, I believe your forgetting one element here, God's judgment will begin with the church, so you'd best be without spot and without wrinkle lest His judgment be upon you first.

I have experienced the character and personality, of some of those who seem over eager for God's judgment to fall upon America, and it has not a pleasant experience. I have sensed great anger, hatred, bitterness, and a fearlessness to rail against any who come against what they say.

God says a root of bitterness rising up will defile many.

I have witnessed, as have others, those who are not afraid to speak evil of dignities, which The Word of God says we are not to do.

These attitudes and behaviours saints are not the mark or the fruit of the spirit, or the fruit which any saint should display. I have found the major component missing with some of these people eager for judgment to fall, is the love of God. The love of God enables us to love our enemies, the love of God enables us to love those who despite fully use us and persecute us. The love of God enables us to love our enemies.

The Lord gave me another word as I was preparing for bible study this morning "He that lacketh these things has forgotten from whence he has come." Again I went to the Word:

2 Peter 1:5-9

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

I pray that God will open the eyes of those who are eager for judgment to fall, lest it fall on them first.

Saints in the past I have had to rid myself of this same attitude, and eagerness to see judgment come, and remember where God brought me from, I was a filthy sinner, and He deemed it fit to save my wretched soul, when i was fit for nothing but the fiery pits of hell.

Judgment will come there is no doubt of that, but saints our priority is to be witnesses of His grace and glory until He comes. We are to stand firm saints and not be troubled by what we see coming on this earth. These things are all leading up to His soon return, so be ready saints, for in an hour you think not the Son of man cometh....Amen...Glory!

I recomend you read a blog post on "Searching His Ways', the link to that blog is posted with recomended blogs, the post is titled, "Tropical Storm Hannah". I feel confident that this brother speaks out of a love for God, the elect of God, a love for the Truth of the Word of God, and a love for the lost.
