Surviving the Last Days (chapter 10)

You are what you eat. As we walk through the book of revelation, my goal is to help inspire, uplift and prepare my readers for the coming times, but, know that I will stick to the words of the Bible and not share a new or personal opinion as fact. I started my blog as a place to share my personal studies and give encouragement to those who may get confused while reading and not now how to apply God's word to their daily lives. I don't claim to have all the answers but you, as

Surviving The Last Days (Chapter 9)

Fifth and Sixth Trumpets As the trumpets sound and the woes come to pass, many of those left behind will struggle to hold on to their idols and refuse to give up their evil ways. The physical things and faceless gods they have clung to will hold them separated from the one true God. This post may contain affiliate links.

Surviving the last days (Chapter 8)

Facing the coming destruction Before I go into this chapter, I like to remember that though these things will happen and nothing I can do will stop them, the Lord has been gracious enough to warn us of what is coming. As believers, we need to heed these warnings. It can be a bit of a downer chapter as we read of the destruction that will happen on the earth but we are not to focus on the destruction. I am reminded that we are supposed to be thinking on love, joy, peace, goodn

Surviving the Last Days (Chapter 6)

Preparing for the Unknown Hour As we read through Revelation chapter 6, it seems that out of each seal that is opened something emerges more terrible than that of the last. John watches as death, famine, and world changing events unfold upon the earth. If we take a look at the world today, it is easy to see how far astray humanity has wandered from living as God intended. Though there are still those who follow Christ and strive to live as unto Him, the world as a whole is no

Surviving the Last Days (Chapter 4)

The Heart Of Worship: Have you ever had to walk through an open door without knowing what might be on the other side? Were you scared? Curious? Or feeling a sense of adventure? “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”” Revelation 4:1 NKJV This post may contain affiliate links.

Surviving The Last Days (Chapter 3 Part 2)

Keeping the faith: sometimes it’s harder than it sounds. Everyone has days where they feel a little run down. We may struggle to get up in the morning and do the simple things. Yet somehow we manage to stumble through the daily habits like that first cup of coffee And whatever else we do to get ourselves going in the morning. Most of us have breakfast and feed our physical bodies every day, but do we remember to feed our spiritual bodies as well? Am I picking up my Bible dail

Surviving the Last Days (Chapter 3)

Keeping the Lights On Most of us prefer to walk into a well lit room. When the light is off, it becomes difficult to judge where things are. It could even be dangerous. You may end up falling over a chair you didn't see right in front of you. Imagine how dangerous it could be to have the lights of your faith go out and not see the spiritual obstacles in front of you.

Admitting When I Struggle. (Trusting God)

Are you struggling with something right now? I may not want to admit it but, I am. Sometimes it seems like the struggles never cease. In these times when we wish we could step out of this reality and into an alternate one, it’s important to remember that God knows what we are going through. He may not fix the situation but He does in fact care about us. So much so, that He prepared a place in heaven that will be so amazing, it’s beauty and wonder will far outweigh the struggl

Is My Pastor Trustworthy? How to Recognize FALSE Teachers.

If my pastor were to teach something unbiblical, how would I know? The book of 2 Peter teaches the 4 D’s of a false teacher. Destruction, Doom, Depravity, and Deception. First off, we should always remember that Revelation 22:18-19 tells us anyone who hears the words of the the Bible and adds to them, God will add to them the plagues that are written in it. And, anyone who takes away from it, He will take away their place in the book of life. The Bible also says that it is no

Sleeping With the Lights On. (Having No Fear!)

It’s not always simple to explain to someone else what you are truly struggling with. Many times our struggles are impacted by personal experiences and histories we have not shared with those outside of our closest confidants. Some things we never feel comfortable sharing with anyone lest the judge us. Still, when you boil them all down together many times they will add up to one simple thing...fear. What are you afraid of? Is it pain? Fear of rejection. Fear of loneliness? F

Fulfilling Your Ministry (What am I supposed to be doing?)

Have you ever wondered what your purpose is as a Christian? Are you wondering what you should be doing? The Bible tells over and over to go out into the world and teach others about God's love and the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for our sins. This also requires us to be vigilant. Satan is cunning and has had many more years to practice his deception than we have had to practice our faith. It is so easy for us to fall for the lie that he has created to lure us away from

Rags and Riches (Help me to be Content)

“Now godliness with contentment is great gain.” Many of us desire from time to time or perhaps all the time, to have larger homes, more spending money, more free time, or just the ability to buy something we want without looking at the price tag and mentally running through the budget numbers before making our way to the checkout line. Though it's no harm to dream of an easier life or simply one with less financial stress, the desire to become rich can lead to trouble if it b

May We NOT Be Distracted

Maybe you’ve heard it said that Christians are in this world but not OF it. Many believers have NOTW stickers on their cars or wear it proudly on t-shirts, but do we really know what it means to be living in this world and not become a product of it?

Staying In My Zone (Sharing My Faith)

Growing a garden with Jesus. As I was putting together my fall vegetable garden plan of attack and researching the appropriate seedlings to start in my zone, I realized this zone thing was more than just a seasonal planting guide. Just like we have instructions for when to plant certain seeds, and when to harvest certain garden goodies, the same goes for sharing our faith and sewing spiritual seeds.

Speaking Faith When I've Lost My Voice

How too I praise Him and share His love when I'm feeling broken and running out of faith. Not every prayer or song of praise is spoken with ease and peace. Sometimes I struggle to get out the words or string together a melody that doesn’t align with how I’m feeling right now. I recommend reading Romans 12 along with this short devotion.

Lord, Is My Faith Strong Enough? How Do I Share My Faith When I'm Struggling?

Do you ever struggle with having enough faith? It can be tough to tell your friends about Jesus when you are going through a rough patch yourself and you don't feel like your faith is strong enough. Well, sometimes those rough patches are exactly what we need to go through in order to grow our faith to handle the next step on our spiritual path.

How do I stay on the narrow path when I keep getting attacked? (Making Decisions In Faith)

Any big decision in our lives can be intimidating. Am I making the right choice? Is this really what God wants me to do? What if I’m wrong? Maybe we don’t always hear that still small voice telling us exactly what to do next but we can have faith that God is always with us no matter what. I know I don’t always make the right discussions. Sometimes I imagine that God is sitting on His throne shaking His head at me and thinking, “oh, you silly human,” but wether I make mistakes

Finding peace in my spiritual trenches. (Hope in the darkness)

Much like seasons of weather, not every season in my life is guaranteed to be enjoyable. Some seasons are darker or colder, some are brighter or more colorful. If you, like me, are in a season of struggle, doubt, or suffering, than sometimes finding a little peace may seem like an unattainable dream, a carrot dangling on a string just out of your reach. Knowing we cannot catch it, we cling to the little things we have and fear the thought of letting them go. But, holding tigh
