What I’m Doing to Keep Christ in Christmas

I’ve been thinking a lot lately on how the world is trying to take Jesus Christ out of everything to do with Christmas, which is totally ridiculous because it’s HIS birthday that we are celebrating, after all! But they are trying to make Christmas about something else, and change its meaning altogether. I’m determined to do all I can to make sure that doesn’t happen! If you take Christ out of Christmas, you may as well just forget it – we don’t need another reason to throw a party. We need Jesus Christ in our lives!

I’m very interested in what YOU are doing to keep Christ in Christmas too! Let’s share our ideas on how we will make sure that the message of Christ is the main thing at CHRISTmas time. READ MORE

A Thankful Heart

There are so many things I could speak of that I am thankful for that it’s hard to zero in on just a few, but I will try for the purpose of this writing. To tell of them all would be a book of which the volume is far too large for a blog like this.

But just to frame what I’m about to say, it’s important to remember how essential it is to have a thankful heart – a heart that is grateful for all things. This is more than just a cliché. This is a principal for living an overcoming life in the Kingdom of God. Being thankful comes against any prideful attitude that may hinder our spiritual growth. Thankfulness presupposes humility, which is in direct contrast to pride. And we all know that it was pride that got satan kicked out of heaven  (Isaiah 14:12-15)! READ MORE

Take Care of You!

We are having such a wonderful time in Israel! Thank you to all of you who are praying for us – we feel your love and prayers.  We can’t wait to share some of our experiences with you when we get back!

I just wanted to mention some of the things we did to prepare ourselves for our trip.  It helps to ramp up your health before you embark on a trip like this – you never know what kind of bugs you will run into in airports, on airplanes, and just interacting with people!

We practice what we preach!  First, you know that Jim and I eat healthy.  We focus on things that are good for us like Jim’s Salba Bread and the Bean Burgers which are amazing and delicious.  You can eat good and healthy at the same time! We use the Salba Chia whenever we can to add an amazing boost to our bodies ability to heal itself.  You can find many creative ways to add this ‘super food’ to your diet.  READ MORE

Our Personal Shemitah (Pt. 2)

“Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit; but in the seventh year, there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord” (Leviticus 25:3-4). He also ordered the release of all debts (Deuteronomy 15:1).

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has taught us the principles of the Shemitah through his book and through teaching us on the show. The Hebrew translation of Shemitah is “to release.” Here is the main thought I want you to grab from this writing:  What you release this Shemitah year, will be released from you – when the Lord returns.

This Shemitah year is no ordinary Shemitah year. This year marks the end of a period of time that many believe immediately precedes the Second Coming of the Lord. We know that His coming is near because we are watching for it and we can see the signs, like the Bible says. READ MORE

Our Personal Shemitah (Pt. 1)

We’ve heard a lot of teaching from Rabbi Cahn and others about this Shemitah year that we are in right now, and most of it is focused on the nations of the world and how they will fare in the End Times based on their actions concerning the things of God.

But have you considered that this Shemitah year is also applied to what’s going on in your heart and life?  This is not only a global initiative, it is individual as well.

It’s a time that God gave us to get back in right standing because if we don’t, the judgment comes.  If our hearts are right, it could be a time of great blessing!  The good news is that judgment belongs to the Lord and He is kind and good to those who are working out their salvation.  This life in Christ is not a spectator sport, it is active involvement in God’s plan for redemption, fulfilling the reason we are here.  READ MORE

It’s Not Just About Survival – It’s About Revival!

Every week when it’s time to write a blog, I search the Lord’s heart for a timely word. Let’s face it, we don’t know how much longer any of this will continue as we know it. The world is changing and the days – every one of them – are getting shorter.  We have an opportunity to do or say something that will make a difference in people’s lives and I’m determined not to miss it.

First, I want to ask you if you know that you are saved and on your way to heaven? Until you are right with God, nothing else matters! What good would it do to survive the soon-coming troubles in the world if you then spent eternity apart from God? There is no greater hell than to face an eternity where evil is unrestrained and there is only wickedness constantly. READ MORE

I Am Somebody!

I wondered why somebody didn’t do something. Then I realized, I am somebody. ~Author Unknown

I’ve heard so many people say that this task of getting prepared for disasters is just too much for them. Some have no support or backing whatsoever from anyone in their family, and consider it a daunting task to go it alone. Some have made a gallant start and then run into resistance by financial circumstances or other situations beyond their control. Some wouldn’t be caught dead (pun unintended) prepping, afraid that others would think they were really “out there.” And others have good intentions to do it someday.

But recently, those who have never been preppers before are starting to get prepared now. There’s something going on in people’s hearts that tells them it’s time and no more procrastinating!   READ MORE

Waking Up to Today’s Reality

We’ve had some amazing guests these last couple of years, and without fail, they are all telling us that prophetic events are leading us rapidly into the Times of Trouble.  Jim and I know this by the Spirit, but we always look for a consensus from those we trust.  We are not lone rangers, although sometimes we feel like we’re not getting through to as many as we want to.

It’s a time to take our heads out of the sand!  The bottom line is that it’s time to face everything for what it’s worth – which is reality.  We need to be able to say, “This is what’s happening – this is what’s going on.  So therefore, we have responsibility for not just ourselves but others as well – to help them during these incredible times of crisis.”  We are going to live through some very difficult times, and some of us may die for what we believe in.  Some may live through it all and live to tell people that all may come to know the Lord as Savior.

God Has Need of You!

Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us that there’s a time for every purpose under heaven.  God wants us to understand the times we live in and He wants us to treat them with awe and the proper respect for what is about to take place.

It’s one thing when the world doesn’t respect or acknowledge that God is about to shake things up for one final manifestation of the truth of His Word; it’s another for His own people to be so in love with this world that they don’t want to know anything about the final days of it… as we know it, anyway.

This is a year to choose how you spend your time very wisely.  We have heard from the most authoritative prophetic voices of our times that we are entering a very serious year, and a season of magnificent signs with the Blood Moons that point to something very big, very soon.  READ MORE

Getting Ready for a Wedding!

A Hebrew wedding – this was a blessed event with an End Times message for the Church encapsulated in every detail of the festivities. There is no more poignant picture of love anywhere than a bridegroom standing at the altar, looking lovingly at his bride as she approaches.  That’s the way Jesus looks and longs for His bride, the Church.

As we study the End Times, let’s be sure to remember that we are getting ready for a wedding – our wedding – as we become the Bride of Christ that He longs for, that He died for, that He now lives for.

It’s time for the Bride to get ready NOW. READ MORE
