Exposing the Effects of Alcohol

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (ignorance, disbelief, indifference and passivity) because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children (living righteously and teaching our children, the future generations, GOD’S instructions.) (Hosea 4:16)

Biochemical Effects of Alcohol

Three types of alcohol exist but only one is regulated for human consumption: Ethanol. Research confirms that Ethanol is a poison. In order for the body to metabolize this toxic compound, it needs to be converted by another chemical NAD (touted as beneficial for health and longevity) to Acetyl Adelhide (AA). This last chemical is so toxic that it destroys human cells in various neural pathways. But wait! There is yet another destructive metabolic step involved. The body must then rely on yet another chemical to finally convert Acetyl Adelhide to Acetate fit for human consumption.

Damaged Cells Impaired Minds

If the body does not metabolize excessive Ethanol fast enough, over time Acetyl Adelhide (AA) accumulates in human tissues and causes damage such as Cirrhosis of the Liver, Alcohol-related Fatty Liver and even Cancer. But its trail of destruction does not stop there! It goes on to affect the Gut Microbiome (the body’s second brain), kidneys, etc. The biochemical effects furthermore cross the Blood Brain Barrier where it inflicts neural damage to the Neo Cortex and other areas of the brain associated with thinking, behavior, inhibition, etc. If ever there is occasion to sin under the influence, it’s in this stage when inhibitions are low and impaired. (Eph. 5:18) Science is only beginning to understand the effects of low to moderate drinking. And with it the knowledge that even the slight tipsiness and buzz caused by alcohol is already wreaking destruction at the cellular level. In brief, alcohol consumption affects the entire body and mind. Having a domino effect, it negatively impacts family structures, relationships, moral values and society as a whole. It robs the heavy drinker of his dignity and most importantly, it affects his personal relationship with GOD.

The New Wine

So called societal norms for fun, relaxation and resolving problems are never found in alcohol. But! I can assure you that all answers are found from the One who resides inside of you. Certainly, we all have free will and humans do what they want. Even still godly knowledge not only motivates and prompts improvements in obedient Believers, it also helps bring enlightenment of GOD’S natural laws to future generations. Some time ago, a clear crystal glass of what appeared to be bright red wine (understood to be the fruit of the Vine as a symbol of the New Blood Covenant) appeared floating in the air. (Lk. 22:20; 1 Cor. 11:25) I was instantaneously reminded about the importance of intimate communion with the Lord. I was also reminded of the comforting Words to His disciples about partaking of this beverage in His Father’s Kingdom. Considering the glorified body, we have yet to fully understand with finite human minds how that will work. Now that is really something to get ‘tipsy’ over and ‘buzzed’ about, don’t you think?! We are the blood-bought temples that house the Holy Spirit, let us make our bodies and minds healthy and holy places for Him to reside.

But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s Kingdom. (Mat. 26:29)

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God. (1 Cor. 6:20).

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (1 Cor. 3:16-17

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1)

Last Call

Let the healing, life-giving, Holy Spirit gifted to us by Jesus Christ’s finished works be the only ‘Spirit’ of renewal that flows through your wondrously-made body and Blood Brain Barrier! The transformation will bless you! But. You have to desire the change and patiently let the Lord do His awesome work. He never fails what He starts.

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Phil. 1:6)

In closing and in keeping with the opening verses of Hosea 4:16, I am reminded that increased knowledge – which is exponentially increasing by the day – is also a sign and marker that coincides with the ‘last days’. (Dan. 12:4) Let’s use it wisely and fruitfully to help advance HIS Kingdom. Praise the Lord, thank you Jesus.

Love and Lawlessness

unsplash

And because iniquity (lawlessness) shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Mat. 25:12-14)

The following Word of Knowledge Declare was spoken following a dream from a few days ago.

Chaos on the Outside

We are standing inside somewhere with a locked door. I am aware that behind the door, there is a great deal of commotion happening. Houses and apartments are being looted. Crime is rampant and fear is in the air. I hear a man who is on the inside with us reciting out loud verses from the Bible. He is is repeating, over and over again, verses that call for the people to love GOD. It was clear that he was quoting the two great Love commandments given by Jesus Christ. (Two simple commandments that encapsulates and codifies the ten commandments.) Next, a woman takes a 5-gallon bottle of purified water and throws it out the window to the people below on the outside.

What It Means

I believe this dream reflects the days of lawlessness that Jesus prophesied would take place during these latter days. Days when even those on the inside; meaning those who are separate from the outside world (locked door) (Ps. 3:3; 2 Cor. 6:17) are feeling the vulnerability of danger and fear. But those who know the Word know the solution to ward off fear. Love! This is not love as we know it here on earth, this is GOD’S pure divine love and truth. It is Love that strengthens and removes all fear. And it is love that endures! (Spoken Word of Knowledge)

Purified water is biblicaly symbolic of the operations of the Holy Spirit made available through the finished works of Jesus Christ sent by our FATHER to destroy the works of the devil. The number five is related to HIS grace and grace multiplied. (Jn. 1:16) Significantly, and to remain within the scope of this message, the Ten Commandments contain a multiplication of two sets of five commandments. The first set of five relates mostly to our intimate and personal relationship with GOD. The other set of five (the 5-gallon bottle of water) concerns relationships with others (the outside world). And those trapped and lost in this fallen world have certainly lost sight of GOD and HIS godly instructions!

Altogether it means that pure water (the operations of the Holy Spirit) is at work through faithful Believers. And it has the power to help provide deliverance to the lost but also to destroy enemies. (Gen. 6:17, Ex. 14:1-15:21.) It follows that despite the chaos, danger and the fear that many are feeling, some in the Body (the Woman) will continue to spread the message of Grace in salvation and of the Kingdom to the outside world. And it will be effectively accomplished through the Holy Spirit because these called out ones have been infused with the power of GOD’S Holy Spirit, Word and Love! In brief, the dream conveyed that regardless of how dark things are and will increasingly become, Jesus’ commandments of Love are called to remembrance. In this GOD’S Will and Purpose for evangelism will be fulfilled until the end comes.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Mat. 12:30-31)

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet (a true prophet) shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. (Mat. 10:40-42)

There is no fear in love; but perfect love (only GOD is Perfect and is Love combined with Truth) casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love (GOD at work in us; the importance of abiding, relying and trusting HIM regardless of all situations and conditions.) (1 Jn. 4:18)

The Lord: My Strength & Song

Unsplash

Oooof!!

Do you ever get days when you feel overwhelmed with inspiration – more so than other days? Moments in time when you feel as though you’re going to jump right out of your skin? Burning Jeremiah 20:9 moments?! I am having one of those days. (smile) So, dear Reader! Before setting out for the day, I would like to share these words and thoughts with you…

The Indwelling Christ

Some years ago the following Words of Knowledge were spoken: “You Have To Let My Personality Come Through. It was the Spirit and Person of the Son alive inside this spiritually-dormant mortal coil that had spoken and was seeking expression. I really wish I could say that allowing this to happen was instantaneous. It should have been so simple and so easy, right? No, it wasn’t. The flesh dies long and it dies hard. The reality is that it takes time for the flesh to be crucified from: worldly attachments and affections, self, religious and natural mindsets, academic preconditioning and well, the list is long. Painful lessons? Yes. And if we have a stubborn streak, the lessons will take longer and will be more difficult. They were.

Chastening from a loving FATHER is required before partaking of the peaceable fruit of HIS holiness and righteousness. (Heb. 12:11) Add to this that when there is a great call of GOD on your life, the enemy will unleash and intensify his attacks that much more. It’s a tall bitter drink to swallow and it’s a double whammy. Even still, our patient Lord, the precious Holy Spirit, the Word and holy angels mercifully help, strengthen and guide us along the way. And then one day, the light bulb in our minds shines brighter and we come to realize that the greatest lesson learned in allowing His Person to live in and through us is by living the sanctified life. It’s about yielding to Him every day and never giving up. It’s about continuously persevering with determined faith until we leave this lower dimension. (Progressive sanctification) And, importantly, it’s about learning the difference between futile repetitive remorse and genuine godly sorrow and repentance.

Unwrap It!

So, then! Let the Lord’s Spirit and Personality come through your converted heart; it will open the gates of His righteousness, holiness and glory for you! Let it awaken the song that is in your heart and sing it! Let all fruitful works that serve for the greatest good find expression! And may the Strength, Divine Wisdom and Love that lives in you revive not only you but also a sick, lost and dying world.

The following verses are being shared with you today after having seen in vision the power and high voltage of ‘The’ Glorious Right Hand! For those in doubt, I can testify that it really is as powerful as the Word instructs! Praise GOD and thank you Lord!

The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; *The right hand of the Lord does valiantly. The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.* The Lord has chastened me severely, He has not given me over to death. Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, And I will praise the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord, through which the righteous shall enter. I will praise You, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation. (Ps. 118:14-21)

Keep the Faith in the Lord and His finished works. Don’t let the enemy, regardless of the obstacles, manipulate and rob you – and others – of the gift that is in you. Stir it up. Unwrap it. Declare His magnificent works! Just. Go!

The Book of Light

Unsplash

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” (Lk. 10:19-22)

More than Twenty + Years Ago

It is noteworthy that at the time of this dream or vision, my understanding of scriptural knowledge was very limited. Indeed, at that time I was like a newborn babe in the infancy stages of spiritual development and understanding. And twenty + years later, I still remain awestruck at how GOD our FATHER reveals HIS Word (Prophetic: Spoken Word of Knowledge). HE truly is an omnipotent GOD WHO knows and sees the end from the beginning. And, indeed, at the end the last shall be first with Him in the Light because He is the First and the Last! (Gen. 1:3; Mat. 20:16; Rev. 13:8; Is. 44:6; Rev. 22:13)

Somewhere Beyond

Suddenly (as though I were plopped somewhere) I find myself standing in front of two very large, ornately-carved doors made of a very rich type of wood. I remember thinking: “What is this place?” Because the doors were opened and inviting, I felt no intimidation entering but still marveled at the setting of what appeared to be perhaps a large and prestigious office. But despite its prestige this was, by no means, an ordinary office. A large desk made of deep rich wood rested in the middle of this room along with a chair. I thought to myself whoever owns this office is one VIP! (Very Important Person) There were other things to see but my attention was drawn to this desk. On the surface rested an open book that appeared to be a registry of some kind. The lined pages were that bright white often seen in visions and dreams. And that is when I saw that names had been elegantly handwritten, one below the other, with bright glowing blue ink.

A Living Book

It was eventually understood that the Lamb’s Book of Life had been shown in symbolic form. To note that the office, desk and chair (throne) belonged to a VIP is an understatement. To be sure! White represents the Lamb’s holiness, His righteousness, His Light! The bright blue ink represents the sky, the heavens and a color related to the Holy Spirit. To be clear, the written names belonged to people on earth who had found salvation, righteousness, holiness in Jesus Christ and who had been born-again of the Spirit through Him.

Why Now?

Question: So why after all these years is this vision or dream posted? Answer: Because it is still a timely testimony of GOD’S Word. And hopefully it will benefit whoever reads it. (Hab. 2:2-3) Because the end of the list of names had been shown, it was understood that it represented the last generation on earth. This is us; this is our time! And time, as we humanly understand it, is running out. With that in mind, this message is posted to encourage everyone about the importance of repentance. Of being saved by the Lamb, Jesus Christ, through His complete plan of salvation. To receive and be washed by His Word and His Holy Spirit. And to be born again in and through Him in order to overcome the flesh, the world and the devil. We are at the end and a new beginning is dawning! Let us make haste to be found worthy. To be found righteous. To keep our salvation secured! To be Overcomers! To not have our names blotted out of The Book of Light: The Book of Life! But to spiritually live now a Kingdom Life on earth where GOD and the Lamb reign and rule in us, and eventually to live in those eternal heavenly dimensions of Light! (1 Cor. 3:16-17; Gen. 1:3; Rev. 21:23)

You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ (Rev. 3:4-6) (Cf. Ps. 69:28)

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again. (A new and born again life in Him!) (Jn. 3:3-7)

Life for You

Unsplash

This message is for someone today! I am hearing the following Words of Knowledge: “Just Live a Good Life. Be Happy.”

You cannot hold the burdens of the past or of this fallen world on your shoulders – you will fold in defeat. You cannot take the burdens of others that were never yours to carry – you will fall with them. You cannot save and bleed for the world – the Lord Jesus Christ did that on the Cross for all mankind. But, yes! Be compassionate, kind, generous, learned and fruitful. Be faithfully inspired and, in turn, you will inspire others to the faith during these latter days. Discern and avoid the traps along the way. In this you will find contentment, joy and blessings – your intended bliss! Regardless of what happens in the natural, look beyond present circumstances! Marvel at the possibilities and live the good Life! That is what the Lord wants for you because that is Who the Lord is!

It’s time to cross over and it’s time to throw out the trash! (Seeing this in a vision.)

In Him was life and the life was the light of men. (Jn. 1:4)

The thief comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (Jn. 10:10)

Keep the Faith. May the Lord blissfully bless you. Live the good life. Be happy. Go for it!

A Call to Arms

Unsplash

After prayerfully asking the Lord for guidance on a recent subject, three consecutive visions were shown. In one: Praying hands. In the other: A Bible. And in the third: A Hammer. When the visions were clearly understood, the following Word of Knowledge was then spoken: “Declare”.

Declaring the Visions

The Hammer represents GOD’S powerful, unadulterated and unbreakable Word! It deeply shatters all wrongful doctrine, all arrogance and defiance against HIM including all that is prophetically false. (Jeremiah 23:29) With that in mind, the visions are explained in HIS unbreakable Word:

Paul’s Teachings to Timothy

On the subject of Prayer, which has been a relevant topic in recent months, I was reminded of Apostle Paul’s instructions to Timothy:

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,  who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. (1 Tim. 2:1-7)

On the subject of Scriptures (Bible), I was also reminded of Apostle Paul’s instructions to Timothy:

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. (2 Tim. 4:1-5)

Moving Parts

Every faithful Believer, regardless of the office or title he/she occupies, has the responsibility not only to pray for ‘everyone’ but also to share the unadulterated Word when the opportunity arises. Doing so will help advance GOD’S Kingdom and make for a healthier growing body of Believers on earth – and it is a big, big, world! During these latter days, Laborers are needed on many different fronts. But I can testify that in our small, crime-riddled, drugged, drunken and immorally- infested northern Canadian city alone, they are very, very few. For this reason and more, it is incumbent on the Believer to never miss the occasion to pray and witness when opportunity comes knocking! It bears noting that different ranks form one army: privates, privates second class, privates first class, specialists, corporals, sergeants, staff sergeants, sergeants first class, master sergeants, first sergeants, sergeant majors, command sergeants major and sergeants major. Likewise, there are many moving parts to the Church but we are still only one Body. And it belongs to the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Handle it with care and truth! Praise and glory be to GOD! Recommended Readings: 1 Corinthians Chapter 12.

Service in the Field

Minister in the Field (Spoken Words of Knowledge)

In a dream yesterday someone is knocking at my door. Before opening, I looked through a large window and noticed that there is snow outside (that is the case here in real life. ) At the door stood a crowd of people either looking for someone or for something.

The crowd represents people interested in seeking GOD’S truth – the unbelievers, the lost and the lukewarm. The window is a spiritual lens of understanding to the outside world. And finally the snow means that the fields (the world) are white to harvest during these present and latter days of changes and upheaval. (Mat 13:38; Jn 4:35)

In brief, this means that those who have been in the stages of preparation are ready to minister the Gospel of the Good News in the field which is the world. In this case, seekers will be drawn to seek those whom the Lord will guide them to find. But! I am also seeing a large moving truck: A multi-wheeled rig that symbolizes a work and a strong ministry that will be on the move as well. So a mix of both! (smile) Praise GOD with thanksgiving always.

Keep the Faith,

Suzanne

An Encouraging Message

Yesterday evening, I prayerfully asked the Lord if He had a ‘positive’ message that would encourage His Church and that if He did I would most certainly write about it. Our FATHER in heaven answered. Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus. To set the stage for yesterday’s vision, it is significant that a previous (non-posted) vision be disclosed.

First Vision

For the past few months, I have been posting messages relating to flowers in various settings. But to remain within the scope of this message, it is noteworthy that in a previous vision from weeks’ ago, bouquets of various brightly-colored flowers were shown. Some were wrapped in white silk paper. Imagine a large square which contained all these flowers. But, interestingly, the entire square was not full. There was empty space.

Second Vision

Last night during my prayerful request, a second and similar vision manifested. Again a large square was shown. But this time, the square was completely filled with these vibrant multicolored beautiful bouquets. And again, some were wrapped in the same white silk paper. So exquisitely beautiful!

Multiplied Prayers

Flowers in my dreams and visions always convey fragrant prayers and blessings. Altogether, the visions were conveying that a multitude – an abundance – of prayers from a praying Church at the four corners of the world (square) had multiplied. So much so, that this infinite square was filled with no empty space as far as the eye could see. (I am reminded that there is strength in numbers!) The vision was indeed a confirmed ‘positive’ message as was requested. If ever there was any doubt, GOD wants the Church to know that HE hears, sees and answers prayers in accordance with HIS divine will and timing. And that HE is pleased with the time spent with HIM in prayer! Praises and thanksgiving be to the Lord! As for the silk white wrapping paper, it symbolizes the prayerful offerings, works, and service of the righteous Believer in Christ. These were highlighted and singled out for reasons known only to GOD.

New Kingdom Servants

The Earring

Precious ornaments and bridal jewelry are often shown in visions and dreams to convey different meanings. But this morning I was shown a beautiful silver pendant earring encased on both sides with a precious white pearled stone.

Servants of their Masters

Immediately I was reminded of the year of Jubilee (after 7 years) when masters were called to liberate their Hebrew servants. But for the servant who loved his master, who was blessed and prospered under his employment, the Lord made provisions that he could remain in his service. To ratify this agreement, the servant’s ear was pierced to a door by an awl:

You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this thing today. And if it happens that he says to you, ‘I (the Hebrew servant) will not go away from you,’ because he loves you and your house, since he prospers with you, then you shall take an awl and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise. It shall not seem hard to you when you send him away free from you; for he has been worth a double hired servant in serving you six years. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all that you do. (Deut. 17:15-18)

Servants of ‘The Master’

Consider it significant that Paul, the great Apostle of the New Covenant to the Gentiles (including Peter) often referred to himself as a servant, a prisoner and slave of Jesus Christ for the sake of the gospel. Even the prophet man and angel in heaven at whose feet John fell considered himself a servant. (Rev. 22:8-9) Today, the faithful Paul and Peter exemplify Christian conduct for those who are sold out on Christ for the purpose of evangelism. And genuine Love for Him, the brethren and His Word is key! Far better to love the Master and be His servants, slaves and prisoners than to love the world and be enslaved to it. It follows that even after we leave this world, our work as servants of Christ continue as evidenced by the angel and servant man John saw in heaven. (Rev. 14:13)

Altogether the vision was understood. The silver symbolically represents the unadulterated Word (Ps. 12:6) and redemption through Christ Jesus whereas the white pearled stone represents His righteousness, holiness and purity including wisdom of the applied and preached gospel. It means having a sanctified ear – not one that is tickled by false doctrine. It means being set apart, to be separated from the world and not succumbing to its enticements and false freedom. It means abiding in Christ. It means being pierced and crucified with the Door which is Christ Jesus our Master, Lord and King of the New Kingdom , Who is the way the truth the life. (Jn. 10:9-10; Gal. 2:20)

This message serves to remind the Lord’s genuine Servants how awesome it is to work in His service, even if the going gets tough at times. Were it not for the faithful Apostles and Servants whose works grace hallowed pages, we would not have the Word blessing us today. The same can be said for faithful Servants even today. Genuine work accomplished under the Master’s guidance will, without doubt, bring blessings to those who come after us. And it is a work and harvest that will follow them and you through the pearled portals of the heavenly New Kingdom. Praise GOD and thank you Lord God Jesus Christ.

A Question of Faith

Unsplash

The Parable

And He (Jesus) spoke a parable to them that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him (earnestly and continuously pray to Him) though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Lk. 18: 1-8)

Prayer and Faith

In these scriptures, the Lord Jesus Christ interrelates the parable of the Widow with the timing of His coming to earth. He, interestingly, finishes His instructions with a question as denoted by the Question Mark. In written language, a Question Mark is used to illustrate a question or a request for an answer to something. At times, it also includes a statement. In this case, the statement to the question posed is found in the parable. In brief, Jesus was stating – telling – His disciples about the importance of strength and guidance received in prayer. He was disclosing the importance of imparted persistence, determination and resilience; key attributes that are direly needed before He returns.

For Now and Coming Days

Despite life’s losses and disappointments; despite the latter-day shaking including the injustices and persecutions Believers are and will increasingly confront, we are called to never give up but to always pray. And importantly, to always keep on keeping on with faith and belief. Though the Lord might appear to tarry in coming days, He will return and come exactly as disclosed by Him. You can count on His Word!

GOD hears the prayers of His elect and faithful people. Though the going might be rough and the answers tarry…..wait for it. Sometimes, valuable lessons are learned while waiting. I am reminded of the vintage Timex Watch commercial series. Known for its extreme durability despite rugged tests, its slogan was: “It takes a licking but it keeps on ticking.” Be a Timex!

Keep the Faith,

Suzanne
