"Nothing Changes"

 "And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there." (Ecclesiastes 3:16 KJV) 

  "Justice - do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly? No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land." (PSALM 58:1-2 NLT) 

 Maybe this doesn't go over well with everyone, but I do believe it needs to be said. Right now in this world, under the sun as it were, this world in which we live is quaking and being shaken in so many ways, on so many fronts, that each day appears to be more out of control than the last. 

 That might be the obvious sign, but it isn't really the way things are, will be, or always have been! Right now, God still sits upon the throne! He sees all of this that is going on, waiting for the church to come to full completion. The more the world turns against the church, the more complete the church will become! 

 Complete does not necessarily mean that there will be more, but that there will be a church that is pure and ready; as a bride prepares for her wedding, so to, the church will be ready on that day, and it will come! We just need to pray and be ready, each and every one of us that call upon the name of Jesus, need to pray, "God's will be done!" 

 The real enemy is not what you see, whether it is a nation or a person, the real enemy of the church and of Israel is the devil and his fallen angels. They have been doing this for a very long time, but time is running out, and they are playing every trick that they can! 

 This last Sunday I saw Pastor Jack give a testimony of his prayer that he gave before Congress. He was invited to give the opening prayer before session, by the new Speaker; but the Chaplin had given him a list of instructions of the boundaries he had for praying. Jack originally was going to hold to those limits, as a sign of respect to Congress, but as he was headed to D.C., God spoke, and he changed his mind.

 Two of the main things he was not allowed to say, were Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ. You should know, that didn't happen...

""Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. What is the price of two sparrows - one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword."" (Matthew 10:28-34 NLT)
