Harbinger: Week Two

Hello Beloved,.

Well, I hope you are ready for another round of questions... I really do hope that
you have started reading this book... It is such an eye opener.
Okay, let's go..  First I want to tell you ( really for me) what some words mean, so that when you read them it will all make more sense.
apostasy: abandoning of what one believes in ; as in faith
apostate: person guilty of apostasy; renegade
apostatize: to be an apostate; abandon one's faith, principles, political party

Now that we know what the words mean it will make more sense when we read.
The Rise and the Apostasy of Israel..   We are going to learn about the birth of a ancient nation and the fall of same nation.
I do so hope that you are reading all the scriptures that goes along with this book..  It will just make it easier to understand, please I will wait while you go and fetch your bible .... Okay you have it.. good.
Let me ask you some more questions..... 
How was Israel conceived?  Who was called to start this new nation and how was it to be done?  Genesis 12:3  please read it , I'll wait.
What was the scared call ?  Exodus 19:6  Remember this was for the new nation. Now , lets look at what happens next.. They are given laws to follow, right?  Look in Exodus 20: 1-17; and Leviticus 19:18.
What happened?  What made the people abandon their faith?  What did they put their faith in?  Well, we need to do some more reading , look at  1 Kings 11:7 I will wait.
Now, how do you think that God spoke to the people of this new nation?  Through prophets, right?  What do you think the prophets told the people? Did they listen? What happened next?  Well, I hope you are as interested as I am and are reading along with this post.....  Israel, this new nation was going to be judged , right? They had disobeyed and now they would pay the price for that disobedience..
Now, lets jump forward about 4000 years okay?  Do you think that any of this applies to the United States of America?   Have we done the same things as Israel and abandoned our faith?  Do you think like Israel we will be judged too?
Have we driven God out of our lives, our schools, our government, our culture?  What have we replaced God with?   Look at Ezekiel 16:15 , do you agree with that? 
When did we stop trusting in God?  Do you think He has stopped loving us?
I really do hope to hear from you..  We may not agree on everything, but we can come together to help each other learn I hope from each other.....
Remember to smile:  It is a free gift from God for you to share will all you meet.
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you in the love of Christ Jesus.

Harbinger : wk 1 continued

Hello Beloved,

Well I hope you have all had a chance to see the last entry on here.. It was about the new book I am reading " The Harbinger".  I am just going to go on from where I left off and ask you some questions, okay?
First question is this:
Do you think it is a fair statement to say that America is in trouble?  How do YOU think it all came about?  What do you think should be done to help her out?  Do you think that there is hope for America?  Do you think that we can really find answers in ancient writings for America?  What do you think is happening here in America?
These are just a few of the questions I have...Does God send warnings before he judges a nation?  Where did you find the answers to these questions. Is there hope for
America?  I have my own thoughts and feelings on this but I would really like to hear from you what your thoughts and feelings are.  Please read Jeremiah 33:3 and then read Isaiah 55:6-11, and then tell me what you think they are saying.
Do you have a mission in mind for this week?  Are you making plans for the future?  your future?  I sure hope you are .  If you need help understanding or have any questions , please put them on here and we will discuss and we can always go to a Man of God and ask him to help us..  Do you have a pastor or teacher who can help??  Well then you think on these questions and let me know your thoughts and then I will let you know mine.  Till I hear from you,, God bless and keep you and please remember to smile as it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Study of The Harbinger: Week 1

Hello Beloved,

I am so happy to talk with you today....  I just prayed a pray for you today.. I am praying that your day will be all it can be with God in it.  Oh,  I am so happy to be on here with you today!   Praise God!!!!
God is love.  1 John 4:8 ( KJV)
God is Just.   2 Thessalonians 1:6 (NIV)
God does not lie... Numbers 23:19 (NIV)
God is righteous.  Psalms 7:11 (NIV)
I am studying the Harbinger again... I now have a study guide from the author, Jonathan Cahn to study from...  I hope I can do this to help not only you but myself as well... I hope your up to sticking this out with me....  Here goes.
First off , have you read this book by Jonathan Cahn, called the Harbinger?  Well, it is a book about the mysteries of America, past and future... It is a good book to read and study if we want to see what has happened here in our own country, the U.S.A...

HARBINGER:  a person or thing that comes before to announce;  forerunner
So we know that the title of the book means that someone or something is about to announce what has taken place or will take place in or on America.
The book starts out telling about a ancient mystery that takes place over 2700 years ago.. It tells about what happened to Israel when the Lord's anger was against them.
You may be saying but, what has that to do with us in the U.S.A., right?  Well that is what we will be learning as we go along .  So I really hope that you will come back and stick with me on this journey into learning about the future of this country.
God Bless and remember to smile it is a gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

JESUS is Coming Soon. Are YOU ready?

Hello Beloved,

Have you read your bible lately? Have you read in Matthew 24 about the Signs of the End of the Age?  This is where Jesus is telling His disciples  what to look out for..  Have you been looking out for the signs too? Are you watching out to see NO one deceives you?  Do you know that many will and have come saying they are the Christ but have deceived so many.  What about war and rumors of war,  nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and famines and earthquakes, does any of this sound familiar yet?  Have you been watching the news, reading the newspaper?  Do you see the signs?  What about persecution?  Have you or someone you know been persecuted because of your faith in Jesus Christ?  Do you know anyone who has turned away from their faith or lost it?  Do you know why?  Were they deceived by a false prophet or false teaching?   Don't believe it when someone says" there he is"  because  NO ONE, NO ONE knows the day or the hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, only the Father knows.  Matthew 24:36
People will be just like they were in the days of Noah; eating and drinking and marrying and not knowing what is about to happen. This is how it will be when the Son of  Man comes.  So you need to be watching, and you need to stay faithful and have your lamp full.
In Matthew 25: 1-13
This talks about having your lamp filled with oil while waiting for the bridegroom to come.... Please don't be like the five foolish virgins and not be prepared.  Have you got your lamp filled lately?  I know that I have not, but last week our Pastor talked about warnings....  I took the message to heart and I am seeking to have my lamp filled..
Jesus really is coming and soon.... Please get your lamp filled up and keep it filled so you will be ready when He comes...  Are you ready should Jesus come today?  Really ready?  Do you know for certain that you will leave with Him ?  If your not sure then I will be glad to help you out or find a good bible teaching church and they can help you.  PLEASE just get ready today.
Smile :  your beautiful when you do..
God Bless . your sister in Christ Jesus.  vickie

REAL Birthday of Jesus Christ

Hello Beloved,

I just received an email about Christmas and how people are saying that we should not be saying " Happy Holidays"  but Merry Christmas , because Jesus is the reason for the season..You know what kind of email I mean... Anyway as I was reading it and thinking about it  something came to mind.

" I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING."
You will find this in Revelation 1:8 (KJV)
" I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE FIRST AND THE LAST:"
You will find this in Revelation 1:11
"I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END."
You will find this in Revelation 21: 6
"I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END,
THE FIRST AND THE THE LAST."
You will find this in Revelation 22: 13
Now you may be wondering why I wrote that down.. Well, I want to share with you what I learned in church about the beginning and the end of the Jewish year.

Nisan, is the last month in the Jewish calendar.  This is when the Passover is held. ( mid- March- mid April)    Passover:    The Exodus from Egypt slavery.
Adar, is the first month in the Jewish calendar.. ( mid- February-mid March)
We know that baby lambs are born usually in the early Spring of the year.... We also know that Christ Jesus is often referred to as " The Lamb of God".  Now we have learned in Revelation that Jesus is the ALPHA  and OMEGA, the BEGINNING and the END...  The FIRST and the LAST.
As  the  world celebrates the birth of Christ Jesus on December 25, you and I will now know that it is really not the  correct time of His birth..... For Him to be the first and the last He would have to be born in the first month and die in the last month of the Jewish calendar..( during the time of Passover).  So, now you know the rest of the story.
As you go about your Christmas shopping and enjoying time with family and friends I want to ask you if you would say to them 'MERRY CHRISTMAS" and to all that you meet..  Not just in the month of December but in EVERY month of the year.... Let folks know you love Christ Jesus everyday not just one day of the year.....
Remember to Smile:  It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet..
From my house to your  I wish you a MERRY, MERRY  CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!
tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Listening To God's Voice

Hello Beloved,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I would like to tell you about two people who live thousands of miles apart.
First Person:
A lady named Lori.  I met Lori in a hardware store about 7-10 years ago. I did not know who she was or that she would turn out to be someone SO SPECIAL. I found out
from her brother ( whom I worked with) that she was a preacher lady.
Second Person:
You have already met this person; " THE YELLOW ROAD WARRIOR", my friend Sherry.
Sherry had come home to be with her family as she was very sick.  I met her in a church meeting about 4 years ago.. As sick as she was ( and it really showed) she was praising and dancing before God.  I looked over at her and fell in love ....I fell in love with the spirit around her..... She was very, very, sick and in all the times following, seeing her in church, she never, never, failed to stand and praise God.
She worships God and prays and teaches what she knows to those who listen...  NO, I don't think she is perfect but I love her anyway. I tell you all that so I can tell you this.
Last year Sherry was in a coma and the family was told that she would not live. So has they made preparations to have life support taken off, she awoke.  She sat up in bed and starting talking to them like nothing had happened.
GOD IS A HEALER.
She was told she had some heart problems and would have to take medicine for that and she was released from the hospital.  She went back to the doctor and was told her heart was fine.
GOD IS A HEALER.
So for the past year she has been teaching a Sunday School class and worshipping and praising God.
On October 30, 2012, Sherry was in a very bad automobile accident.  She broke almost everything about her waist.. A URGENT prayer request went out .  Now this is where my two friends Lori, and Sherry come together.
God knows when one of His children needs Him and He also knows who to send the task to.
We are suppose to be open enough to hear God speak to us. It is when our spirit is talking to us.  We should be listening..  Well, this is what my friend Lori did.
She listened to GOD'S VOICE and prayed .  Night and Day she prayed for Sherry who lived thousands of miles away.  She would keep in touch with me and ask about Sherry so she could pray specifically. 
God brought together two spirits who love Him and obey Him, thousands of miles apart, He brought them together.
Sherry has a long way to go in her recovery but with angels like Lori praying for her it won't take long
So to be God's hand extended.......... listen to His voice and obey.  We don't know how our lives may cross with someone else's life but God does...
Please listen for His voice...... as I will...
God Bless each of you..
Remember to Smile..... It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
