What is going on?!

So, I heard on the news that they are expecting Hurricane Irene to be a Cat 4 when it hits the East Coast.  Then I read about the earthquake that hit Colorado not far from where we were a couple of weeks ago.  It is the largest one felt in 40 years. Then, I heard about the earthquake that hit the east coast and was felt across several states.  When I told my kids about all this, my son said, “You know what that means…Jesus is coming soon.”  We have been hearing more and more stories like these.  Record-breaking earthquakes and other natural disasters.  Not to mention the wars and talks about wars that have been in the news. Oh and let’s not forget the droughts in many states and the unusually high Summer temps.  So, the scriptures that came to mind are Matthew 24:6-8, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled : for all these things must come to pass , but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” 

We are definitely living in the end times.  One day, Jesus is going to look over at Gabriel and tell him, “Blow that trumpet.  It is time to bring my children home.”  I really believe that.  Why do think that churches across the World are having revival and such spirit-filled services?  Acts 2:17 says that in the last days, God is going to pour out His Spirit.  Great and mighty things are happening all over and this is just the “tip of the iceberg”!  But, you must also realize that the devil realizes that his time is short and he going to work extra hard to steal, kill and destroy.  He is wrecking havoc in the lives of adults and children alike both in the church and out.  And, he is trying to infiltrate churches any way that he can to tear them apart and cause discord.  So, now is that time more that ever before to seek God and pray and fast.  It is time to bind together in unity.

I am so thankful for our Pastor (and his family) and for a church that is in tune with what God is doing and going to do in the days, weeks and months to come.  I am excited to be a part of the unprecedented revival that is taking place in our city…I believe it and claim it in JESUS name! ♥
