The HOUR is COMING

 

1 John 2:18

King James Version

18 Little children, it is the last time: 

and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, 

even now are there many antichrists; 

whereby we know that it is the last time.


Warnings came from the LORD.

"The hour is coming."

Wake up to JESUS.

And be saved.

John 4:21

King James Version

21 Jesus saith unto her, 

Woman, believe me, 

the hour cometh, 

when ye shall neither in this mountain, 

nor yet at Jerusalem, 

worship the Father.


John 4:23

King James Version

23 But the hour cometh, 

and now is, 

when the true worshippers 

shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: 

for the Father seeketh such to worship him.


John 5:25

King James Version

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

The hour is coming, 

and now is, 

when the dead shall hear the voice 

of the Son of God: 

and they that hear shall live.


John 5:28-29

King James Version

28 Marvel not at this: 

for the hour is coming, 

in the which all that are in the graves 

shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; 

they that have done good, 

unto the resurrection of life; 

and they that have done evil, 

unto the resurrection of damnation.


We are to watch and to pray.

To be prepared at ALL times.

For ONLY GOD knows the hour.

Mark 13:32

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour 

knoweth no man, no, 

not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, 

but the Father.


We are to be born again.

That we may understand things of the SPIRIT.

And be taught by GOD's SPIRIT.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water 

and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


Let us believe in the WORD of GOD.

Let us believe in JESUS, for He is the WORD of GOD.

Let us be faithful stewards of His WORD.

His WORD remains forever.

Isaiah 40:8

King James Version

8 The grass withereth, 

the flower fadeth: 

but the word of our God 

shall stand for ever.

The PLIGHT of the BIRD BRAIN

 


Psalm 18:30

King James Version

30 As for God, 

his way is perfect: 

the word of the Lord is tried: 

he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.


I was a bird-brain once.

Wise to the ways of the world.

Flying loftily, with no real direction.

Till GOD said, "ENOUGH of that foolishness!"

Of course, GOD knew it would take a while.

Bird brain, remember?

GOD had forever; I didn't.

The reckoning came nearly three years ago.

I wanted to think BIG.

GOD gave me a born again brain.

Awakened by the SPIRIT of GOD, I saw the accelerating chaos in the world.

We've become too many bird-brains around.

I can almost hear real birds refusing to be aligned with us.

After all, real birds have homing devices.

They know when to migrate, where to eat, what to avoid.

They have such natural intelligence.

They're subject to the laws of creation.

How GOD loves sparrows.

Matthew 10:29

King James Version

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? 

and one of them shall not fall on the ground 

without your Father.


Humans?

We keep at foolishness, long after we should have stopped.

Birds don't sin.

Humans do.

Birds have survival instincts.

Humans could do a better job.

I forgive the birds for not wanting to have anything to do with us.

But you know what being bird-brain means, right?

Tiny brains, folks.

We have such tiny, ossified, calcified brains.

I'd rather we have big hearts, and tiny brains.

Rather than tiny hearts, and tiny brains.

Recipe for disaster.

That's why the LORD JESUS was sent.

And He gave up His life for unbelieving generations, that we may be saved.

GOD saved me in the nick of time, over 30 months ago.

Of course, a challenge presented itself:

Now, how do I pack this knowledge in this tiny brain of hers?

Hmm...

GOD knew what to do.

Take away everything she has, and had.

Make nothing work for her.

GROW a NEW brain.

GIVE her a NEW heart.

GOD was pleased.

Now, former bird brain can fly with SPIRIT.

He is presented as a white dove, after all.

Matthew 3:16-17

King James Version

16 And Jesus, 

when he was baptized, 

went up straightway out of the water: 

and, lo, 

the heavens were opened unto him, 

and he saw the Spirit of God 

descending like a dove, 

and lighting upon him:

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, 

This is my beloved Son, 

in whom I am well pleased.
