TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?

Guns, groceries, bullets and band-aids; getting pretty hard to find and pretty pricey.  Seems the end is near and folks are equipping themselves' for hunkering down and going to war.

Oh, get a grip!!!

What part of the prophesies did you not get.  God is carrying time and history right where He wants it - just as He planned.  All the guns and bullets in the world won't make a bit of difference except - perhaps - in the witness of the real church.

Yeah - I said real church.  Not the clubs passing themselves of as churches but the collective assemblies of believing individuals who seek whole hearted (although haltingly) to follow the Master.  Its time we quit being splenda sweet (that's fake sweetness) and just told the truth.  As a believer, if and when they come for you, you don't get to do battle - sorry - it's the "sheep to the slaughter" time.

There are beautiful, big, impressive "churches" out there that have great influence and reach and with which the world is oh so impressed.  Well folks, I'm with Martin Luther, "A golden plated turd is still a turd."  God calls men and women out of error, heresy and sin - not through it!!!

Yeah folks - I'm a little testy here.  I see believers (at least self-denominated believers) going to all kind of things in these tough times.  Gun's, bunkers and bastions of feel-good-self-ology, temples to individualism and flesh farms (seeker sensitive "churches") are just some of the places and things these so called believers are running to.

Peter said it best:
 John 6:68-69 
Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life. 69 We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.” (NASBStr)

Oh but nooooooo we don't go to Him - we're gonna fight our own war - a new revolution - right?  We're going to go to "war" over Amendments and Rights killing and being killed for a nice but man-made concepts which though alluding to God has little if any biblical basis except that God ordained govenment.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (NASBStr)  Eph. 6:12

What part of that don't you "get?"  Bunkers, bullets, band-aides and stockpiled food stuffs are NOT what the believer needs.  What the believer needs - desperately is to:

Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (NASBStr)  Eph 6:13-17

What believers should (must) be doing is:
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints (NASBStr)  Eph. 6:18

But no - we run to the bright and shiny or the largest caliber, the deepest hole and the greatest stock of munchies.

I for one, am broken hearted that instead of repentance and revival many believers (not to mention false-believers) are choosing revolution - which by the way - even our own revolution - is a sin.

Who does God call us to emmulate?

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to endure ill- treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace (NASBStr)  heb. 11:23-31

Not - it's BY FAITH NOT BY FIRE-POWER.

ENOUGH SAID - RANT OVER --  DEAR GOD HELP US TO REPENT AN TURN TO THE ONLY ONE - THE ONLY THING IN WHICH THERE IS HOPE AND PROMISE!!!
