No one who lives in America, can let the terror of 9-11-01 pass by without loosing a couple of heartbeats…. We remember.
Let us also remember when in emergency to speak to the Lord who He is to us by using the Psalm 91:1& 2, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in Him I will trust.
Since the fall of the towers, there have been many chances to awaken to righteousness that were presented by the Lord to get our attention to turn to Him. Is there coming an emergency?
We have instruments that warn us of hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunamis. We do not have instruments that warn us of earthquakes. We have instruments which instruct us as to how sever the earthquake was. But the damage is done.
Did we have instruments which were warning us of the coming destruction of 9-11, but we did not hear or understand. We maybe thought life will go on as usual.
But life did not go on as usual…. The Lord told Abraham before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is written in Amos 3:7-8, Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?
How many abominations against the Lord can be committed without His jealousy being invoked? We can all agree that we are all very thankful for His longsuffering or patience. However, how long will we keep putting thorns out for the Lion of Judah, our King, to walk upon as He walks among us and not expect some vengeance on the arrogance of the times.
Can we hit our knees in repentance and apologize to Almighty for the stamping and trampling on His Word, which is His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ….. Yes, it is written, His name will invoke many to speak against Him. However…. we do know the end, justice will prevail.
The Lord God is a jealous God and we should be jealous for Him and His place in this earth, in this land, in our homes.
Let us follow the Lord casting out what was not of Him in the temple…. The temple is our hearts, then our homes as we set up the standard of the Lord. Let us follow in same the courage and boldness from the example of Elijah, the prophet of God, 1 Kings 18:17-18, Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab, said to him, Is that you, O troubler of Israel?
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and have followed the Baals, ( other gods).
The Holy Spirit within us is the Light to the world and world likes to stay in darkness…So if we are the Light to their darkness…..we also are known as their troubler……. Paul was a great troubler. Look in the Epistles what men and women did to get rid of him…..Look at the Lord Jesus Christ and what was done!…..But the Word of God does prevail throughout eternity, even in time.
So here we are today, fourteen years after 9/11. Are we seeing a progression of darkness in the land or progression of Light? Well, the written word speaks to us: Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising, ( Isaiah 60:1-3).
So as we know the Lord said trouble is coming but to rejoice because we have our peace in Him…. We have Him as our Refuge and Fortress because we abide in the shelter of the Most High…. So what can man do to us, if the Lord is for us……..?
Do we have our courage and boldness growing within as the trouble is approaching? Just as in the days of Elijah, there was an approaching judgment of deportation from their land of Israel if they did not turn back to God. Elijah was showing our Great God was in their midst and to turn back…. Elijah showed the might and yet, the closeness of our God to His people. Did they heed the instrument of warning of the coming destruction? Did they repent? Do we today?
If we do not use our voice in this day, we will loose our voice to be heard….. Let our Heavenly Father know we are sorry for the conditions of the time. How can we look into His eyes knowing the abominations are being committed under our watch? Will we be held accountable if we do nothing—–We always should be praying…..
Praying is talking and speaking with our Great God…. It is not to be some laborious thing….. When we love someone, we love to speak to them and they love to speak to us….. Same with God…. He loves to hear us. We will not understand the fullness of the purpose to be in communication with our God until the end of this age. But I warrant, there is major importance played into prayer and fellowship with our Heavenly Father….If there is not importance of this communication,…..the Gospels would have spoke of Jesus Christ sleeping through the night…. The Holy Spirit had the Gospels repeatedly speak of the Lord through the nights in prayer to our Heavenly Father over and over again.
If we do not know what to pray, ask the Holy Spirit…. He is our Guide and will tell us what to intercede…. to step in the gap.
We all pay attention to the coming storms, but who will hear the sounds the shaking of the earth that are coming? Will we?
Let us be sober and diligent to hear Him speak to us? Seek His fellowship in prayer and be courageous for the upcoming days.
Pray, and when we are done, start again….. Do not give up or give in….. Let our voices be heard in front of God and then in front of men.
Is the instrument saying there are storms coming? Do we hear and then what?
PRAY! Thank God for all the brave men and women who put their lives on the line for others daily. Please continue to ask God’s protection over them daily and their families, not just on 9/11. They are worthy of our prayer of protection to our God daily!
Blessed are those who weep when their Lord weeps! Blessed are those that mourn when their Lord is mourning. Blessed are those that follow their Lord’s footsteps of suffering for My name sake.
Hear My footsteps approaching….. You do not know the time of My approach, but I Am. Awaken, My children, do not be found asleep in darkness…..Awaken to Me as the night awakens to the dawn. The Son is rising. Come to Me today. I AM your Refuge. Your fear is not appropriated rightly…. Fear God and live! Fear for your life and you shall lose it if you hold it…. Come to Me for fear of life with out Me and live! I call your name to come to Me! Do you hear My whisper? Pray to listen…..Come and taste the goodness of God! Come to Me today!
Selah!
