Hello John and Doves,
"Therefore whoever hears
these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to
a wise man who built his house on the rock and the rain
descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on
that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the
rock.
But everyone who hears
these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like
a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and
the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew
and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was
its fall."
Matthew
7:24-27
Today many of us are
facing storms of one kind or another. If we have our
trust and faith in Him. If we follow Him - we can
take the winds, the floods, the storms. Our House
will stand.

When the storms of life hit, if our lives are
built on Him and His Truth, we will not be 'washed
away'. The 'winds' and 'floods' will not overwhelm
us. We will stand and take the storm.
And from looking around at neighbors,
family and friends - these storms are coming one after
the other and many times, one on top of the
other! I think this is just a sign of the times
in which we live. The devil knows his time is
short and soon he'll have a specific set number of
years to do his worst!

I've been following "The
Two Preachers" youtube channel - with Chris Birdgen and
Reza Afshar. They compile natural disaster videos
from around the world. I can not remember a time
with more storms, fires, floods, etc. all at once - in
such diverse places! One after the other; sometimes
on top of each other! We see how easily businesses,
homes, vehicles, lives are destroyed in a matter of
seconds sometimes.

It sure looks like the
birth pains are increasing in intensity and
frequency!
Storms are raging in
people's personal lives and in nature. We can't stop
hurricanes, rain storms, firestorms...but we CAN make sure
our lives are secure in Christ.
- My hope
is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and
righteousness;
I dare not trust the
sweetest frame,
But wholly lean
on Jesus’ name.
- Refrain:
On Christ,
the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is
sinking sand,
All other ground is
sinking sand.
- When darkness veils His
lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging
grace;
In every high and stormy
gale,
My anchor holds within
the veil.
- His oath, His covenant, His
blood
Support me in the
whelming flood;
When all around my soul
gives way,
He then is all my hope
and stay.
- When He shall come with
trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in
Him be found;
Dressed in His
righteousness alone,
Faultless to
stand before the throne.

Things are only going to
get worse until we hear that last trumpet
blast!
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
