    Good morning everyone Today is March 30,2023. Yesterday marks a crucial day in the United States, as the present administration has allowed a former President to be indicted on fabricated charges. This action could very well mark the end of our free nation, and usher in Marxism. Please pray that God will show us favor, and stop this evil before it destroys everything good about our nation. Thank you.

    God is still in control he raises up Kings and he brings down Kings. Prayer is definitely the key in these last days. God has the final say.

    Dear all brethen and new born in Jesus Christ. As long as the Lord is good, He will bring us home. It's because there's still someone who's yet to be saved that He hasn't put everything in order yet.

    Who among us would throw away the only One in this world who is really good with us.

    Of course, humans can be Kind, but not good. Jesus says so, no man is good. It is Only 1 that is good and it is God Himself.

    1 Timoty 1 chapter and the last v. Says Paul that he gave them to satan, that they might learn and incite mockery.

    Paul did not condemn them, but gave grace space so that they might learn!

    That's exactly what we need to do.

    Stay strong in the word of God. And do what ever He says u to do. Then u will se that God is good to u and yours, and much more.

    He IS, happy Easter, love u all in Christ.

    Hi Jimbob I'm in agreement with you such that America lines up with mystery Babylon according to God's Word. However, I'm not so certain we are as close to Christ's return as many may think. Jesus Himself said, " the time and hour is known only to the Father". With that said, I caution people to not attempt to predict a time of His return, but rather be ready. We need to keep our lamps filled with His oil, and again, be ready. Thank you for your response Jimbob.

    Rick The Word of God tells us in ( Mt. 24:36) "But of that (day) and (hour) knoweth no man" We should know the season by what's written in the prophecies in the Word of God. I am not trying to set any dates here Rick, but it seems we are living this time period today in ( Mt. 24:4-13) Where it looks like the next great event that happens is the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place ( Mt. 24:15) which will start great tribulation ( Mt. 24:21-21) I agree we should Watch as ( Mt. 24:42) tells us. I think the prophecies that are being fulfilled today are showing us it won't be much longer that our Lord will return to gather together His elect, the church. But we will see things get much worse before His return, "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved". (Mt.24:13) We need to stay strong in our Faith, and always put our trust in Him, and endure unto the end and we will be saved. This world is being controlled by evil forces today and that can be seen in so many different ways ( 2 Cor. 4:4) Here are instructions for us on how we should stand against those evil forces. ( Eph. 6:10-17) If we don't "Put on the whole armour of God" then we won't have any chance of standing against them and not being deceived by those evil forces! Stay strong, and put on that whole armour of God. May God Bless you. Thank you Rick.

    Yes, Rick Christians worldwide should indeed pray for their country governments, and leaders. For the U.S,, (of which I am a citizen) we should be praying for justice to be rightly served and that those governing will do so wisely, honestly, and for the benefit of those they represent according to our constitution. We can certainly pray for God to set aright all of that which has been corrupted and used to oppress certain groups of people. We can pray for God to transform the hearts of millions in our country to believe in Jesus and follow His ways. We can pray for God to take corrupt governing officials out of office. We can pray for God to grant protection and deliverance for His people in our country from harmful government practices and the results of these legislative actions that diminish our constitutional rights. We can pray that God will keep us free to share the gospel openly with others and cause us to be strong and bold in the face of resistance to our free expression of religious faith.

    We do not know what the immediate future holds in our countries. We can depend on God in every circumstance. We can also believe that God can turn what seems like hopeless circumstances around for His good and ours. As American citizens we can continue to pray for God's blessing to return to our country, for God to stir up people's hearts through a true revival. We can pray for God to make this country a great country and beacon of light to the world once again.

    All is not lost in our countries. God can still do great and might things to reverse the wicked trends that we are experiencing. We should pray with faith for this and not give up on our requests made to God. The United States has the resources to alleviate so much need and suffering in our world. May God bless us with bountiful harvests and wise management of resources so we can bless our own citizens and also those across the world in need.

    Hi Gigi. Thank you for responding to my post. I continue to pray for our nation, such that it will return to being that "beacon of light" to the world. There is evil within our nation that only God can deal a death blow, and I pray He shows us favor by stopping this evil "power grab". Also, that God will give us wisdom and a discerning spirit during these troubling times. Only the Father knows the time and hour of Christ's return, so our place is to be ready.!!! Thank you again for sharing your heart Gigi

    Agreed Rick,

    Many say that we are in the very last of days. Maybe we and maybe we are not. Throughout the church age people have thought that surely we are in the last of days when times have been really bad. But Jesus did not return in their lifetime.

    It may be this generation that will witness His glorious return to bring an end to evil and resurrect and change believers. And so, we need to stay prepared and ready for this. But also, we need to "work while it is day" in that we are to do what we can with the time we have to try to improve our communities and country and world as we are able to do. It may be another 200 or even 2000 years before Jesus returns. So, what type of world do we want to work for in regards for our children and grandchildren and on down the line of descendants. The forefathers of our nation had a "long" vision for the United States and crafted a constitution that has stood strong for several centuries.

    But we really do not know what the future holds for. We do know how it all ends. But in the mean time, we are to live out our 70-80 years of life with integrity, strength of conviction, hope and faith in the future God has designed for us, and love for the people in our immediate sphere and also for those across the globe and around the world.

    Rick Colombe I think its to late to pray for God to show this Nation favor. God has shown us favor, we have been Blessed as a Nation for more than 200 years since this once great Country became a Nation. The Word of God will be fulfilled as it is written. I believe this Nation to be mystery Babylon whose power will be taken away, it will be taken down in the Lastdays to make way for the rise of the anti-christ, which will be soon! God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for sexual perversions, look at what this Nation is allowing today, and not just allowing but pushing it on everybody whether they agree with it or not. We are living the Lastdays now and it doesn't look like things will get any better according to the Word of God. Be strong in your Faith, trust in Jesus Christ, He will not forsake those who put their trust in Him. God Bless.

    Sodom and Gomorrah did suffer from that but the real reason was not sodomy but PRIDE.

    Jude 1:7

    "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."

    Genesis 19

    4But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

    5And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

    I think they were known to be completely wicked in all manner
