Time To Make A Change! by Myra Boozer

Jesus spoke openly to the world, in the synagogues, the temple, on the mountain, on the riverbanks, at the well, or in a home, wherever there was a need. He spoke to the known world during His thirty-three years on earth, especially the last three years. He spoke with boldness and authority given to Him by His Father. The call was given, and many followed Him, although Jesus pointed out those who outwardly appeared righteous to men but were full of hypocrisy and iniquity within. Those kinds of people were going about as usual, causing division and opposing the Truth of God's Word, and it is still happening today. People who have their eyes on other people instead of the Lord will be hindered and sometimes throw in the towel. That is not an excuse for not following the Lord, but many use it.

Today many hearts are closed with "Do not disturb signs" when it comes to receiving God's Word. It appears many are driven by society to deny that God even exists. Many are stubborn and rebellious, rejecting the Holy Bible as the Word of God, denying that it is written by men as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost. Many are skeptics, doubting the virgin birth of Jesus and doubting that He arose from the dead. Others may say they believe; they just have no "POWER" to live a life of submission to the Lord. This is a reproach to the Name of Christ.

This world is getting further and further from the Truth of God's Word. The time is urgent for those who know anything about the Lord Jesus Christ to make a strong commitment. It is time to make an altar and carry everything to the Lord. If you feel you have been playing church, it is time to get serious. If you have been calling on the Lord only during 911 situations, it is time to refocus and rededicate your life. If you have put Jesus Christ on a shelf and just pull Him down when someone else is talking about Him, it is time to make a change.

Jesus is getting ready to split the Eastern Sky, to take His children home. He is coming for those that are looking for Him. He wants to be your constant friend, one who walks with you and talks with you. He wants to carry your burdens and lift you above the turmoil of this wicked world. He wants to set you free from the bonds of religion and have a personal relationship with you. Matt. 10:37, “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” Time To Make A Change! 

Our Help Will Come From The Lord!

Psalm 121:1, “…I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”

We are where we are today because the whole of mankind has turned away from the influence of God in their lives. Therefore, the attributes of God that He would show forth in their lives are absent. Until there is a change of heart, lives will not change! The consequences are that we are doomed to repeat the failures of the past. We need help, the help and intervention that only God can give!

Go back to the beginning! God is the beginning, and in Him we live, move, and have our being. He is the beginning, the beginning of time, the beginning of creation, the beginning of life, the beginning of man, the beginning of love, etc. James 1:16, “Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” In this chapter, James is addressing the mortal weakness of man and his propensity to sin. And right in the middle, he plants this golden nugget. Sure, there is imperfection all around us, but our life comes from above, from the Father of lights who never changes, and there is not even an allusion to His changing. He is always the same, consistent, loving, compassionate, powerful, delivering, victorious Father.

In the beginning, God! God is pulling us back to Himself as in 1 John 1:1, “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;” He has been with us from the beginning of this journey and He wants us to understand that it is through Him that we will finish. There is no other power, presence, or virtue sufficient to complete our assignment. He will magnify our efforts and ministry as He receives the honor and glory for the results. (continued) 

How Long Will God Continued? by Myra Boozer

How long will God continue in His mercy and give this country time to Repent? How long will He wait? We do not know! He has given individuals time to fall before Him in repentance for their sins. But for a Nation to go against His laws and commands is a different story. I feel judgment is coming on America for all the sin that is parading around as something good when it is an abomination! Not only in this country, but other countries are defying the laws of God. God will not wait long! He will do as He has done in the past. I think JUDGMENT will come quickly.

Some may go through the fire and call upon His Name, being purified by the fire. Others will continue in sin and will regret that they have NOT taken the time to repent when the Spirit was pleading and convicting their hearts.

Many Christians, saints of God, are giving their lives today and suffering much persecution because they have not denied the Name of Christ. Then there is the rest of the living righteous, the blood-bought Church, the Body of Christ, who has made herself ready. She will be taken in a moment and twinkling of an eye to meet the Bridegroom.

There were seven Churches of Asia that are written about in the first three chapters of Revelation. Jesus named the things that He had against six of the churches and asked them to repent. He was telling them to listen to what the SPIRIT HAD TO SAY TO THEM, BUT NOTICE the Church in Philadelphia. He said in Rev. 3:8, “I know thy works: behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, (his), and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation...” (2 Peter 2:9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly, out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.”) Rev. 3:10b, “...which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY; hold fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”

Notice Rev. 4....and see what John has to say about seeing the open door...saw the throne and the four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment (clothes) and had their crowns on their heads...the crown that Jesus said, "Let no man take thy crown." Praise the Lord! He is coming...BE READY for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man is coming...How Long Will God Continue? 

How Can I Be Sure Of My Salvation?

There are not too many things in this world that a person can be sure of, and because of that, an attitude of skepticism and pessimism is prevalent. Governments are crumbling, economic systems are falling apart, and political systems are failing.

This skepticism and pessimism must not prevail in the life of a Christian. A skeptic is a doubter, and a pessimist always expects the worst. These behavioral traits can drive a person’s life and are the opposite of faith and trust. God is still in control. He has not relinquished any of His power or authority to any other entity. His plan is still on schedule and will not be delayed by the disobedience of mankind. If anything, the sin and degradation of man will hasten the judgment of God. He is presently working all things for His Divine Purpose. We can rejoice in His calm assurance if we have put our faith and trust in Him.

How can we live a calm and assured life when our world and everything in it is falling apart? Paul gives us some insight in his first letter to Timothy. 1 Timothy 2:1, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time...8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”

Paul’s exhortation to Timothy and to us is to pray and intercede before God for all men, “that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” Live right before God and pray in faith, believing that God is still in control. If we know Jesus Christ, we can be sure of our salvation through Him. God says so in His Word, and He cannot lie!

Our salvation by faith in the blood of Jesus is not based upon shaky or unreliable evidence. 1John 9:5, “If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” There is the witness of man, and there is the witness of God. God says that He has provided us eternal life through His Son Jesus. The witness of God is greater!

The new birth opens within us a new awareness of the Spirit. There is peace and love that fills our hearts that only comes from God. We have new desires, new ambitions, and a new outlook on life. Thank God for that inward witness! Receive His promise, live in His provision, and Be Sure Of Your Salvation! 

Your Light, Lord! by Myra Boozer

YOUR LIGHT...

Lord, I get lost without your light shining on my path.

I find I am alone and hopeless, fearful and afraid.

Your Light reveals my great need of you.

It warms my heart and fills my soul.

It opens my eyes and helps me see clearly.

It captures my interest and floods my mind.

It settles all my concerns and comforts my anxiety.

It rolls my cares right off my back.

It thrills my heart and causes me to rejoice.

It opens my mouth to sing your praise.

It drives me onward to face the new day

with peace, hope and love.

So I mount up, as with eagle's wings...

And I soar, Yes I Soar... Because of your great Light!

“The LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1. Allow His Light to invade your world. He will change your heart and bring HOPE into your circumstance...Making your deepest and darkest days be filled with the Light of His Resurrection Power...Revealing His abundant love for you and your family...There is a Light that forever shines...That Light brings deliverance from all the darkness and sets you in a position of high ascent...You are no longer a slave to sin but adopted into the Royal Family of God...forever and ever. Amen! 

Light In The Darkness!

In Acts 13 we read about the beginning of Paul’s missionary ministry. The leading and anointing of the Holy Ghost was an integral part of Paul’s ministry and gave him the advantage of discerning Light from Darkness. Acts 13:2, “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.” Notice that the Holy Ghost made the selection and gave the assignment. We must lay our plans aside and petition God to make us part of His Plan.

They preached the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. A certain deputy of the country called for Paul and Barnabas, desiring to hear the Word of God. A certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus, opposed them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Acts 13:9, “Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.” The reality of this passage is that those who oppose Jesus Christ really do walk in darkness. The decree of the Holy Ghost brought to fruition the physical reality that the sorcerer was truly walking in spiritual darkness.

The Holy Spirit discerned the “darkness” and called it out. In the power of the Spirit, the darkness was defined and confined. The Bible makes no further mention of Bar-Jesus. The lesson to be learned here is that the judgment of God is sure and final. This was God’s Plan! The Holy Ghost did the choosing and gave the assignment. Therefore, Paul’s mission was under the mantle of Christ and without limitation. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we must walk in the Light as the Holy Ghost leads and move in the anointing of His assignment. He will discern the Darkness, Define and Confine. By the power of the Spirit, the power of darkness will be revealed and deposed! By the Holy Ghost, we will discern Light from the darkness as He reveals Light In The Darkness! 

Lord, Deliver Us From Evil! by Myra Boozer

Dear Lord, I ask that YOU help all Christians to stand strong against the evil in our world. Help us to not be shaken by what is coming and already here. We desire that nothing hinder us as we seek YOU.

May we trust YOU in these evil days. We desire to stand in the power of YOUR might against the enemy of our soul and the souls of our families. Lord, may we receive wisdom to know how to share YOUR Gospel Message effectively.

Evil is on every hand, trying to destroy every good work, especially the work of the righteous. Lord, may we seek to be filled and overflowing with YOUR Spirit so that no evil spirit can enter our hearts.

We must rise up as Daniel and proclaim YOUR Word because it is power unto salvation. God, Your Word tells us that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We stand on that truth! It tells us that we are made overcomers by YOUR blood and the word of our testimony.

We proclaim YOUR Word is truth! We cast our cares on YOU and delight ourselves in YOU. May faith continue to arise in our hearts as we send praises to YOUR throne. Deliver Us From Evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory...Forever...Amen!
