Thy Kingdom Come! by Myra Boozer

Mark 1:15 “...The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

This morning, I would love to feed all the hungry... Wrap my arms around the broken and mend them... I would love to wipe the tears from all the lonely and crushed, mend the bruised and battered... release those who are in bondage by the enemy.. set the captives free..hold all the babies that are unwanted, care for all the elderly who are forsaken.... heal every sickness and diseased person on the face of the earth... Stop every evil and depraved thought that enters the mind of the youth, I would guard them from all evil.. Mend every marriage and bring every family into unity with God...Strengthen every person who shares the Word of God.. and give them HOPE of many souls being saved, delivered and set free... I would love to do this, I am limited , but I can share JESUS... He can do this for all who BELIEVE...

I WOULD SHUT THE MOUTH OF THE LIONS THAT ARE TRYING TO DEVOUR ALL WHO ARE GOOD AND RIGHTEOUS... I WOULD STOP ALL THE LIES AND CORRUPTION OF THE EVIL AND EGO HUNGRY FOR STATIS IN THIS WORLD.. I WOULD BIND EVERY EVIL SPIRIT THAT RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD AGAINST HUMANITY. I WOULD SHUT DOWN ALL THE PLACES THAT OFFER ENTICEMENT TO THOSE WHO ARE WEAK AND UNSTABLE.. I WOULD STOP MURDER, HATE ,AND EVERY ABOMINATION . I WOULD STOP ALL FALSE TEACHINGS AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS... . I WOULD BRING ABOUT A NEW WORLD WHERE THE LAMB WILL LAY DOWN WITH THE LION.... BUT I AM LIMITED.... JESUS WILL DO THIS WHEN HE COMES RIDING ON THE HORSE AND HAS FIRE IN HIS EYES, WEARING MANY CROWNS... HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD...HE SHALL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON. HE WILL PUT EVERY THING IN ITS PROPER PLACE....we are getting closer and closer to this DAY...

Friendship with God

James 2:23, “...Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Gen. 18:17, “And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;”

Know God and then you will know His will. I mean, when we come to really know Him intimately, His nature becomes our nurture. He then is the driving force within affecting every decision and move we make. Our lives have been so affected by our encounter with Him that we have been forever changed in our desires to BE like Him. “...I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly...” John 10:10.

We truly begin to live life to its fullest in Jesus Christ!

Christ and Love are Synonymous by Myra Boozer

John 13:34, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

As Christians should we be united in "Love" or in Christ Jesus? You may say well "God is Love" but love is elusive, apart from the love of God in His Son Jesus. True love comes from God. But the love the "world" knows is tolerance (to put up with)... This is not God's love, God's love is Jesus, in the fact that He gave His only begotten Son to die for this world, this is true love. If the world don't receive Jesus it does not receive love. Tolerance and love are two different things..We are to live in His love, walk in His love, speak in His love and rejoice in His love, then we can also die in His love... Tolerance will only take you so far but the Love of Jesus will take you to the end.

God open the heavens and reveal your love to us. When you do the world will see none other than JESUS.. Jesus the Saviour of the world, the Bright and Morning Star, the Rose of Sharon. The Beginning and the End.
Don't settle for a form of love or a counterfeit of love.. It will fade, it will pass, it will not endure. There is NO substitute for Jesus... No matter how hard anyone my try to convince you. Do not be deceived !!!. This love the world is talking about right now is NOT Jesus but a false Jesus , a facade( the way something appears to be not necessarily what it is) Rise up Church and show Christ to the world, for they have lost vision of Him...They only see what they want to see and it is tolerance of one another, not the love of Jesus.
There is NO unity for us without the "Head of Unity", the originator of unity. The God of Peace will come when the "Gift" JESUS , that He gave to the world over 2000 years ago , is received..
Rejoice and be glad for your Redeemer lives. He is about to reveal himself to this world, when He steps out on the clouds in the Eastern sky, with the sound of the trumpet.... Rejoice and again I say rejoice.....Myra

Blessed Quietness!

Psalm 31:19, “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! 20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.”

My soul craves the quiet time in God's presence. In the stillness I find peace and rest. He lifts me above this world's raging storm. He quiets the winds and calms the blustery waves. He commands “peace, be still” and my life returns.

What a joy to walk hand in hand in His Majesty. For to be with Him is to share His Glory, to behold His Countenance is to reflect His Radiance. Lord, open me up, purge my soul of all that is unlike You. Pour into me, fill me up with your Divine Presence.

Prepare for Battle!

1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

The devil is a wild animal going about seeking to devour. He is attempting to destroy everything and everyone associated with God. The spirit of antichrist is becoming stronger as each day passes. The verdict of the world is for the destruction of everything affiliated with Jesus Christ. This is the rise of the last days influence of Satan setting the stage for the beast in the prophecy of Daniel in the Old Testament and in the prophecy of John in the book of Revelation.

This is not a new conflict. The forces of good and evil have been embroiled in battle since Lucifer's original rebellion in heaven. God could not allow him to continue in his angelic role in his rebellious state. Therefore, he was cast out of heaven and he became the prince of darkness, ruler of the darkness of this world. Consequently, all humanity has been thrust into the midst of this ageless conflict beginning with original man and affecting every generation since.

The conflict has manifest itself through the centuries with an ebb and flow of severity. However, the consequences of the conflict can be directly related to the rebellion of man against the laws and sovereignty of God. Although times of evil and darkness have gripped the earth in centuries past, the grand finale is still to come. Satan is preparing for his last stand. He knows his end and will do everything in his power to destroy all he can. He has targeted world governments, world leaders, Christian leaders, Christian churches, families and individual Christians. His goal is to destroy order and control. Instead He wants to create total chaos.

We find ourselves fully engaged in this timeless struggle. Paul stated in Ephesians 6:12 that we are fighting a warfare in the spiritual realm, against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. We are fighting for our very lives, our children, grandchildren, friends, neighbors and as many as our Lord God shall call. But we know how the story ends and that is our hope. God did not allow the original rebellion to go unpunished and He will address it again in the end.

The course of human history is directly related to the willingness of mankind to seek after and follow the sovereign will of God. We can make that observation in relation to the current state of human affairs.In recent years we have seen a digression from Biblical morals and values and a more rapid deviation from Biblical principles in the past decade. This behavior has brought us to where we are as a world community and as a nation. The consequences of rebellion will rule eternity. How we respond to the voice of God will determine our future and the future of all who will hear us. Sound the alarm!!!

The stage is set for Satan's last stand. The spirit of antichrist is moving all the players into their positions. Demonic powers held in check by the WORD and the HOLY SPIRIT are running rampant. The world population is following the deception like sheep to the slaughter. Because the nations have rejected the influence of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit, God has left them to their own devices to the destruction of their societal structure.

There are few voices to warn the nations when “danger” should be shouted from the mountain top. God is preparing the whole world for the last phase. The last phase will be the “new world order,” or “one world order.” He is the spirit of antichrist energized by the spirit of darkness. We know from Scripture that his goal is one world government and one world religion. In the coming week the United Nations will discuss progress on the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” This document was originally presented in 1987 as “Agenda 21.” The goal is to unify world laws on environment, religion and distribution of wealth. The plan proposes an array of actions which are intended to be implemented by every person on earth. It calls for specific changes in the activities of all people. Effective execution will require a profound reorientation of all humans, unlike anything the world has ever experienced. Every person in the world needs to read Agenda 21. Sounds like one world government to me. All you need is a leader like Daniel or John describes.

The World Council of Churches will also meet this week for a week of advocacy in support of “an end to the illegal occupation of Palestine” by Israel. “It's time to end Israel's illegal occupation of territory; it is time for the political rights of the Palestinian people to be recognized and implemented;” We know that Israel will possess the land God gave to Abraham. We don't know the conflict and warfare that will occur before that time.

The bottom line is that individual liberties are being destroyed and control relegated to the powers that be...governments, local, state, national and international. The stage is set and the players are moving into place. We can not change what is coming, only our response to it. The sin of the world hastens the coming judgment. Let the watchman on the wall cry aloud as the enemy approaches. In doing so he will save himself and all that will hear him.

Can You Hear the Rumbling? by Myra Boozer

How do you stop an avalanche ? What is an avalanche? It is a large mass of loosened snow, earth, etc sliding down a mountain/an over-whelming amount coming suddenly... You can"t stop an avalanche!!!... but you can hear the rumbling noise and get out of the way, possibly.... Are you hearing the noise of the over-whelming avalanche that is coming on this world... If not then maybe we need to get very quite and still and listen... The rumble is getting louder, but it seems our world just turns up their music of distraction ( what-ever it may be) ... to drown out the Sound of the coming disaster... There is good news... Jesus is the rock , he is the fortress, He is the shelter in the time of storm... Stand strong in Him today and know that His Father has EVERYTHING including the avalanche that will come suddenly, in His hands....Trust in the one who created Heaven and Earth and all that is in it..., myra

Lord Speak to Your Sheep!

John 10:27, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:”

God has not concluded the revelation of His TRUTH. He is still speaking to submissive hearts and open minds. There is much that He desires to reveal to the Body of Christ, the Church of Christ. We need desperately to experience His revelation in us and through us. How does He want to implement His will in the Body and through the individual members? His plan in us will always have the greater good of the Body in focus. When we, the Body, actively seek and follow His directions, Christ is exalted, His work in the Body is confirmed and members in the Body are vindicated. May God empower us to be actively engaged in His plan and purpose NOW, TODAY and EVERYDAY till we see His glorious return.

John 10:28, “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one.”

Covered

2 Chronicles 7:1, “Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.”

We pray for and sincerely desire that the glory of God rest upon His House. You are His house. Ephesians 2:22, “In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” Solomon had prepared the House for God's habitation and invited God to live there. 2 Chronicles 6:41, “Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place,..” He spared no expense. The people gave freely and abundantly. The edifice that was created was a tribute to the glory of God and the love of His people.

Let us prepare this house for the manifest presence of God. Allow the blood of Jesus to wash it clean and make it holy and acceptable to God. Romans 12:1, “...that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Invite Christ to live in this house and display His character through you. Give up and submit complete control to the influence of the Holy Spirit. Follow Him as He leads and directs. The result is a life lived to the glory of God and manifested love for Him.

God's promise to Solomon was, “...I have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice,” 2 Chronicles 7:12. If it doesn't rain...if the locusts devour your crops or pestilence comes...if you will pray, humble yourselves and turn from YOUR way (rebellion), then I will hear you from heaven and will forgive and heal because I see you and hear your prayers. Regardless of what you may face tomorrow, God will walk you through it if you trust Him. Psalm 121:8, “The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”God watches over everything you do all the time, in every circumstance, and forever. You are “covered” by the abiding presence of the Lord. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

URGENT! This will challenge the Church!

God Save America!

This morning as I gaze out my window, I am reminded of how good and how great God is. The earth and all its beauty was created by Him. He spoke the words and all things were created. The glory of it all is incomprehensible except by the Spirit of God. He must open our eyes to the totality of all that God has placed in our world. Help us Lord to search and find. Help us to see all your beauty and glory. My mind, my heart, my spirit stands in awe of the wonder of His creation.

In contrast, the picture of this world is catastrophic. What man has done to the glory of God's creative masterpiece is a shame and disgrace. How can I sincerely ask God to bless this mess. I simply pray, God show us your love, show us your grace, show us your mercy. Just as the wind bends the mighty oak tree and its leaves and branches yield completely to the strength of the wind, may the Holy Spirit of God cause the world, the nations to bow in convicted repentance. God move us by your Holy Spirit to yield to your will and your way.

Today I am thinking especially of this nation, the United States of America. Since it's foundation, this nation has been blessed of God. He has nurtured and parented our precious democracy from its infancy. I am convinced that He has done so because of the principle of the freedom to worship and follow God. In the the beginning we were united as a nation under the principles of God's law with the freedom to serve Him according to the dictates of one's own heart.

That America does not exist anymore. It is only a memory passing swiftly into history. Rather than embracing the influence of God and the Bible in our governance, He has been banned. Any reference to God in the affairs of the nation is frowned upon if not expressly forbidden. I believe that God has taken the hint. I think He has gotten the message that He is not wanted in America. So, He has left us to our own devices, creating our problems and finding our solutions. Therefore, as with all governance void of the influence of God, we are headed for a tragic end.

My prayer today is that the Holy Spirit would blow upon this nation and as the wind moves the mighty oak, that American's as one collective body would bow low in convicted repentance. I ask God to break the obstinate rebellion that has seized the mind, heart and soul of so many. Bring America to her knees once again for it is there that we will find our true purpose in God's plan. God SAVE America.

A Light in Darkness by Myra Boozer

It used to be when we went to Church, many of the husbands and Dad's that weren't living right ( still sinning) would stay outside and talk and smoke.... because they knew the power of God and the convicting Spirit of the Holy Ghost would have them in the altar, if they went inside...This was back in the 50's and 60's and there was no air conditioning , the windows were raised and many times you could see some hanging around the windows.... God's power was so strong and the altars would fill up with people calling out to God to forgive them ... Thankfully , even as a young child I knew that God was in the HOUSE and I yielded to the bidding of HIs convicting power... Yes, I backslid , but not for long periods of time, we were taught go back and do your first works over... Repent and be baptized again.... I was taught never be a hypocrite (one who pretends to be something they are not).... If ever anything turns the world off to Christianity , it is that very thing... for the Church to claim something they are NOT ! God help us all to get real with God and with others and be the people we say we are.. God's people , His Holy people, the Redeemed of the Lord, the Sanctified , The Church of the Living God..... some have said you can't blame the sinner for not coming to the Lord , you must blame the Church , for not being THE CHURCH... The Church is to be a light set on a hill for all to see the Love of God and to experience his forgiveness but also a light in darkness to guide them to His TRUTH....

The Second Component to the Coming Judgment is Harvest!

The second component to the coming judgment is the harvest of eternal souls. It is extremely important that we, as the Body of Christ, understand the destiny of the Church to reap the harvest. There is a shaking coming and even has already begun. It will shake the very foundation of the universe and everything in it. Sin and rebellion has forced a time of judgment and reaping.

Heb. 12:25, “See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.”

It is a dangerous thing to refuse the admonition of God. “See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.” God has spoken to this world through His Word and His messengers. In the most recent years the population of earth has grown more and more indifferent to anything related to Christianity. God has spoken in the churches and called us to righteous living but so called Christians bristle at the thought that they are lacking in any sense. The Word was given to us to rebuke, reprove, exhort and instruct. The Holy Spirit of Christ was given to convict of sin and lead into all Truth. And that is what He is doing, convicting and teaching. His light will dispel the darkness. If we walk in His light, we will experience His constant, loving correction. Correction means that we have to make an adjustment or change our course of direction. The Holy Spirit is our faithful, loving companion and will help us to walk in the Truth of God.

This reference in Hebrews 12, is to a prophecy given by the prophet Haggai in 2:6-9. God's promise was for a shaking of all things that can be shaken, all things earthly so that things eternal shall remain. Both point to a yet future time when all things created will be separated from those things eternal.

Haggai 2:6, “For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Haggai was the first prophetic voice to be heard following the exile of God's people in Babylon. His ministry was to call the people to finish the Temple. Work on the Temple had been delayed for 15 years, because of fear, apathy and opposition from the heathen tribes that had settled in Jerusalem after the Jews were taken to Babylon. Haggai chided the people for living in their “ceiled houses” while the Temple was left unfinished. His call was “consider your ways.” God's warning was that He would bring their prosperity to naught because His house laid waste. The Lord stirred them up and they finished the Temple in four more years.

But this Temple was nothing compared to the Temple that Solomon built. God reiterated His covenant with Israel when He brought them out of Egypt in v.5. Now He is looking into the future in v.6 when He will fully restore the nation in their promised land given to their father Abraham. Once again “...I will shake the heavens, and the earth...” This prophecy points to the future fulfillment and restoration of Israel at the second coming of Jesus Christ. “I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come:..” Jesus Christ will establish the Kingdom of God on the earth and “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former...” Former things will pass away and all things will become new in Him.

The shaking referred to by Haggai and the writer of Hebrews refers to a time of separation. A time when the earthly will be separated from the eternal, the good from the bad, the wheat and tares, the harvest and the chaff. The end result being the establishment of the literal, eternal Kingdom of God to be ever present with the redeemed.

The followers of Jesus expected Him to set up a literal ruling government at which time He would rule from the throne of David in Jerusalem. As we know, that has not happened yet! Christ pointed to a yet future time when that will actually take place.

Paul wrote to the Church at Corinth reminding them that “...the fashion of this world passeth away,”

1 Cor. 7:31. He was speaking concerning temporal attachments and being held captive by them. Though they are good in themselves we are not to be constrained by them. We need to be free from any and all encumbrances that would restrain us from hearing and being obedient to the voice of Christ. Let us always follow the Lord Jesus closely, not to be guilty of following afar off. Our conformity to Him will be the sustaining power when all else has failed. The outward form of this world and everything in it will pass away.

The words “Yet once more,” point to the final change which will initiate the removal of all that can pass away. The removing of created things that the things not shaken can remain...that is the Kingdom in us, not anything of material creation. It is to that end that Christ prepares the Church.

Matt. 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Christ has given the ministry of bringing in the Harvest to the Church. The Holy Spirit within us will equip and empower us to rise to the challenge in the midst of darkness and evil. The light shines brighter the greater the darkness. We have already entered into an extended time of sensual depravity and spiritual hypocrisy. The Body of Christ has an enormous task to reach the lost in face of great opposition. The affront to the Gospel is growing strong every day. The mere mention of the name of Jesus will insure persecution. But God is greater. “Greater is He that is within me than he that is in the world...” God will use the Church to do great things in the name of Christ. That is why Satan fights so hard against the message of Jesus. There is power in that name (Jesus). Christ will reveal His power, His grace, and His glory through us as we submit to His leadership. He will use the trying times ahead to discipline and train us. Do not resist. Do not question the Lord's WAY. Yield to Him and allow Him to do His work in you even during all this shaking as the Bride makes herself ready. God has a plan. He will protect His Church and preserve His people. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

More to come on this subject.

A Sure Path Through the Coming Storm by Carter Conlon

This message will challenge your concept of ministry. Christ centered ministry is built upon the foundation of selflessness. Jesus example was that of total selfless demeanor in word and deed. His concern was for the wholeness of the human race rather than His own comfort and gratification. Consequently our future is predicated upon the delivery of the Gospel message, the message of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for the sins of all mankind. The Gospel is the solution for the present human condition. Only the blood of Jesus can deliver from the chains of sin and death. We must approach this divine commitment in total surrender asking God the question “What would you have me to do.” It is necessary for self to die if we are to answer Him honestly. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you. Give Him your plan and allow Him to include you in His.
