The kindness of His judgments (His correction)

1st Corinthians 11:32 "But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world."

Psalm 19: 9-11 "The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold, sweeter than the honey comb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned and in keeping them there is great reward."

-------------------------------------------------------

Please consider with me these scriptures in light of the Lord's ways of loving correction. Usually when He corrects those that He loves, He uses broken people or wayward circumstances that without a sober prayerful look we rationalize with our hurting hearts justification for anger, bitterness, and finger pointing.

Yet in all His ways....He is slow to anger, abounding in love, full of mercy. Meaning that He is not the vengeful dad we have seen or heard....but wants to give us gifts and bless us...Yet His ways are completely backwards to our logical comfort preferences.

So to digress but to not really... This blog is to bring light to our momentary affliction....

You see... The Father knows once the soul of a human is brought into this world it is corrupted and exposed to sin immediately.... and then like a wet dog coming from the pond everything nasty is caught up in his coat all the way through the mud, the fields, and up to the house.... No dad is going to allow Him in the house without a thorough cleansing.....

Well, that's like how the Father treats our hearts before Heaven comes to earth when Jesus returns..... Jesus is bringing Heaven to earth (Rev 21/22) and it is going to be glorious. We are not being raptured away from the earth for eternity but a moment... So if you endure to the end, watch for the 7th trumpet (1st Cor 15:52).

So I am sure you are asking what does His judgments and those scriptures have to do with all of this. The Father will have a pure and spotless bride at His return... and some will flourish to the end and others will struggle and possibly be swept away by the apostasy and the Anti-christ system....

His current judgments and corrections are gifts to strengthen our hearts in the knowledge and love of the man Jesus and the Father! Without these we will never mature in love and the Spirit.... When you are in the middle of His judgment, you will think it is hell, but in reality, it is His mercy keeps you from the pit of eternal fire.... It’s his kindness.... and even more so it is His joy if you receive it well, because you will be more so as described in:

Daniel 11:32,33 "...but the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits. And those of the people who understand shall instruct many..."

So my prayer is this: May the Lord grant you eyes and hears in the mist of His loving correction.... May you not short-circuit His ways but seek for perspective of His heart... May you walk in forgiveness, repentance, and blessings those who hurt you... May you see His mercy and kindness and ultimately may your hearts receive the fear of the Lord and the revelation of the man Jesus!

Persecution is here....

Since the California election passing Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage, protests, anger, rage, riots, and mobs have blanketed the state as well as the nation.

See this video for a brief example of the spirit/ demon that rages.

This is not a equal rights issue, its not a minority issue, its not a discrimination issue..... its a spiritual war and the very soul of our nation is at stake. The judgment of God and the principalities and powers are raging over California because they were defeated in a state wide vote....

This spirit that pervades our nation.... a Jezabeel spirit that infects the heart with perversity and complete indignation against God is raging and rising up in complete protest to the PRAYING CHURCH....

Mark my words.... this is the beginning of persecution and martyrdom of the followers of Jesus in the United States.... This new presidency coupled with the spiritual victory of this Prop 8 will cause a huge divide in the Church of America....

Those who will stand and war for supremacy of Jesus, righteousness, justice, and the fear of the Lord versus those who accept peace as the only formidable solution which in the end is evil.

These times will test the very fiber of our spirits, souls, and hearts....

Now more than ever those who follow and profess allegiance to Jesus must press in with fasting, prayer, love, and humility.... warring in the heavenlies for their own hearts and the generation to stand for righteousness and justice.

So FAST, PRAY, WATCH, and WAR.....

Do you know the Son of God as the Christ or Jesus?

In my brief reading of Matt 1 & 2,

An angel told Joseph and Mary's little boy was to be called "Jesus" 1:21

But Herod called Him "the Christ" 2:4

Question: Is Jesus to you ...the precious glorious and miraculous prophetic-foretold coming babe whom the Heavens declared? Or is He merely "the Christ" from a place of fear, unknown, distance, and dread?

My prayer is that you may discover our soon and coming King, the lover of our Souls, the deliverer of darkness into wholeness and light, the Jealous Husband, the humble servant, the Just Judge,.... may you know His kindness, His mercy, and His desire for a spot-less bride.... may you know the depth of His love.... May you know the power of His blood..... that frees us from all sin, snares, and bondages.... He is the life giver and hope bringer! Jesus! He is alive. He is a man. He is coming back very soon! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! He name is the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth! He is alive!

Large US bank collapse coming...

Large U.S. bank collapse coming:
former IMF economist warns Targets Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac as among possible casualties

August 19, 2008(Reuters)—

The worst of the global financial crisis is yet to come and a large U.S. bank will fail in the next few months as the world's biggest economy hits further troubles, former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff said on Tuesday.“The U.S. is not out of the woods. I think the financial crisis is at the halfway point, perhaps. I would even go further to say ‘the worst is to come’,” he told a financial conference.“We’re not just going to see mid-sized banks go under in the next few months, we’re going to see a whopper, we’re going to see a big one, one of the big investment banks or big banks,” said Mr. Rogoff, who is an economics professor at Harvard University and was the International Monetary Fund's chief economist from 2001 to 2004.“We have to see more consolidation in the financial sector before this is over,” he said, when asked for early signs of an end to the crisis.“Probably Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – despite what U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said – these giant mortgage guarantee agencies are not going to exist in their present form in a few years.”Mr. Rogoff’s comments come as investors dumped shares of the largest U.S. home funding companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Monday after a newspaper report said government officials may have no choice but to effectively nationalize the U.S. housing finance titans.A government move to recapitalize the two companies by injecting funds could wipe out existing common stock holders, the weekend Barron’s story said. Preferred shareholders and even holders of the two government-sponsored entities’ $19 billion of subordinated debt would also suffer losses.Mr. Rogoff said multi-billion dollar investments by sovereign wealth funds from Asia and the Middle East in western financial firms may not necessarily result in large profits because they had not taken into account the broader market conditions that the industry faces.“There was this view early on in the crisis that sovereign wealth funds could save everybody. Investment banks did something stupid, they lost money in the sub-prime, they’re great buys, sovereign wealth funds come in and make a lot of money by buying them.“That view neglects the point that the financial system has become very bloated in size and needed to shrink,” Mr. Rogoff told the conference in Singapore, whose wealth funds GIC and Temasek have invested billions in Merrill Lynch and CitigroupIn response to the sharp U.S. housing retrenchment and turmoil in credit markets, the U.S. Federal Reserve has reduced interest rates by a cumulative 3.25 percentage points to 2% since mid-September.mr. Rogoff said the U.S. Federal Reserve was wrong to cut interest rates as “dramatically” as it did.“Cutting interest rates is going to lead to a lot of inflation in the next few years in the United States.”
