FOR ME OR AGAINST ME!!!!!

Good morning! My name is Charlotte and I am writing to help us give our first thoughts to the Lord.

At our church, our pastor has been preaching on Revelations and it has just been wonderful. I have always been reluctant to study Revelations because there is so many things we don't understand in the symbolism of this great book. That is the reason it says that there is a blessing to those who will read and study this book.

The times are different now also. Years back, we could only speculate as to what some of the things in the future would mean, but today, it doesn't take much imagination to see where we are going. Computer chips are already being placed in animals to track them even in the wilderness. So, to see being required to have a tiny computer chip the size of a ball point pinhead placed in our hand or in our forehead does not boggle our minds at all. Soon, without this people will not be able to trade in the stores...to feed their families.

The scary part to me is that we are so complacent that if Kroger's or Walmart's says 'now today we are putting tiny little chips either in your hand or your forehead, whichever you choose, so that we can identify you when you trade here,' people are so nuts, they will stand in line to get it, not even realizing they are damning their souls to hell.

We are just about at the absolute crossroads. Pastor Eric said yesterday - fence stradling is over - either you choose for God or against God.

There are so many blinded eyes and unhearing ears even though the gospel has been preached and repreached, there are those who just are not aware of how close we are to the day the Lord comes again and takes Christians from this earth.

My heart breaks as I write this as some I am very close to....that I would give my life for....have other things to do rather than be faithful to the things of God and the teaching of their children. Those same people, if you call with a GO AND DO project, they are all ready to 'go and do'......except where it comes to God.

That day will catch us unawares - in other words, we won't know what hit us.

I wish I could say that I'm ready and that would be enough .... you now, it's every man on his own bottom...but it isn't enough for me. People I love I want good things for them and God is the best thing I know. He is the answer to all life's situations. He gives joy and peace and abundant life. He's my best friend. He is my mountain mover and I don't want to hoard Him. I want others to know Him and be blessed.

The song says OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART, LORD, I WANT TO SEE YOU. That is my prayer for you this day.....

Just pray this prayer - God, come into my heart. Forgive my sins. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I believe in You and Your Son, Jesus. I believe that He died and rose again victorious for me and His blood covers my life. Make me a new creation in Christ Jesus and set my feet upon solid ground so that I can mountain climb to You. Instill in me the desire to delight myself in you, Lord. In Jesus name I ask this. Amen!

Father God, I lift up every eye that reads this today...that you would touch their hearts, their minds, their being and open their hearts to see you, Lord. Take off the blinders from their eyes that Satan has put there and let them see you...let them know You. Increase their desire to learn more about You, God and to just know you, God. When I get to seat on the throne with Jesus, I'll be more than happy to share my seat. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen. (it is done)

Have a good one!

Charlotte
