Sound the Alarm!

"Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand-" Joel 2:1 NIV Greeting in the name of JESUS- He is Yahweh, The Lord strong and mighty- It is important to understand the hour that we are in. It is the last days and we must prepare. We must rid our hearts and not just our garments. I find myself continually being motivated by the word but allowing the cares of life to take that word. We must pray and fast for a fertile heart in this season. The enemy only can do what we allow him to do and he can only take what we willing release to him. He can not have your peace or your joy unless you give it to him. In this time we must focus outside of ourselves. It is time that we not just be hearers of the word but we must be doers. We can know God and deny his power. "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of HIS great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- its by GRACE you have been saved!" Eph 2:1-5 It's a free gift! The Lord looked at us and saw us in our blood. He did not pass by. He looked at us and told us to life. Let's not waste this gift on meaningless things. Let's surrender our all to the Lord and offer this gift to others. Blow the trumpet and sound the alarm! The Lord is sending us to GO and practice true, PURE and FAULTLESS religion. "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this; to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27 In order to release the trumpet sound we can not be conformed to the ways of this world but we must be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Stand with me this week as I contend for the heart of God through His word. We have received this gift of salvation not just to hold on to it but to give it away. May the Lord Bless and Keep you cause His face to shine upon you!

Thank you for TRUTH! Our cry must be for God to raise up some authentic Forerunners and true lovers of Jesus
