Dear Doves... This is a rather somber message...
I agree with Jim Bramlett re Ana Nicole Smith. One night I was
watching the news, disgusted with how much air time this story has
received vs. other extremely important news. I "heard in the Spirit":
"Look. Listen. Watch." Later: "Does her life remind you of anyone?"
... This life is like the story of the United States, & the Laodicean
Church & church age. She (& they/us -the U.S.) do not know Who the
Father is. She has been prostituted. The news then showed a picture
of Ana with a large cross necklace on. Oh my...I prayed. Later then,
SUDDENLY, she was found dead. After many reports & much speculation,
they said it was pneumonia... (the "pneuma" -breath of life- Spirit,
removed).I do not mean any ill will or insensitivity to the family... but
obviously the spirit of this age had a hey-day with this beautiful,
rich young lady.
We should be grieved & see the word-picture that (I believe) the Lord
has put in front of our faces. Laodicean Church? America? Me?I know this was not her real name, but "Ana" means "grace"... "Nicole"
means "victorious spirit or victory of the people"...
& "Smith" is a common American name of enterprising hard workers,
ie: blacksmith, coppersmith etc... hmmm.... several of the tornadoes
hit in places like "Americus" "Enterprise" "Taylor" & others that had
commercial-enterprising names. At the same time the stock markets
went rather shakey. I believe these are sober times to re-examine in
what or Whom is our real trust. We do serve the God of "SUDDENLIES".I haven't gone into great depth here & it's certainly extra-Biblical,
it was just a heads-up for me & thought I'd share it... please forgive
me if I've offended any... meanwhile I join you all in..."Examine yourselves daily to see if you be in the faith..."ll Cor. 13:5
Blessings, Doves,
