FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS? IT IS TIME TO PRAY AND REPENT.
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (Several part lesson)
Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 21:28 (MSG) When all this starts to happen, up on your feet. Stand tall with your heads high. Help is on the way!"
WE ARE LIVING IN DAYS OF GREAT TROUBLES AND MUCH CONFUSION, TROUBLESOME TIMES ARE HEAR FILLING MEN’S HEARTS WITH FEAR.
Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luke 21:26 (MSG) in an uproar and everyone all over the world in a panic, the wind knocked out of them by the threat of doom, the powers-that-be quaking.
WE NEED SOMEONE TO STAND AND DECLARE HOPE BEYOND TODAY. MANY THINGS ABOUT YESTERDAY I DON’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND. MANY THINGS ABOUT TODAY I DON’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND. MANY THINGS ABOUT TOMORROW I DON’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND.
I don’t know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day. (Ira F. Stanphill)
I don’t borrow from the sunshine, for it’s skies may turn to gray.
I don’t worry o’er the future For I know what Jesus said. And today I ‘ll walk beside him.
For he knows what is ahead.
Chorus:
Many things about tomorrow I don’t seem to understand,
But I know who holds tomorrow and I know who holds my hand.
Ev’ry stepping is getting brighter as the golden stairs I climb.
Every burden is getting lighter, Every cloud is silver lined.
The sun is always shining, there no tear to dim the eye,
At the ending of the rainbow, where the mountains touch the sky.
DEMOCRACY IS NOT ALWAYS PRETTY. THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE USA WE HAVE BEEN SHOCKED. WHO EVER KNEW THE MEDIA COULD ANNOUNCE THE RESULTS OF ELECTIONS?
PLEASE WEIGH MY WORDS: Hurt people hurt people. Angry people anger people. Maybe the person that is giving you a hard time is HAVING A HARD TIME? Can we try to walk in UNDERSTANDING…
Hebrews 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Hebrews 12:12 (MSG) So don't sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet! 13 Clear the path for long-distance runners so no one will trip and fall, so no one will step in a hole and sprain an ankle. Help each other out. And run for it! 14 Work at getting along with each other and with God. Otherwise you'll never get so much as a glimpse of God. 15 Make sure no one gets left out of God's generosity. Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time.
THE MEDIA IS FULL OF HATRED AND VENOM. THE MEDIA WAS BUILT ON BEING NEUTRAL … BUT THE VENOM OF BIAS RULES ALL MEDIA SOURCES. BITTERNESS IS CONTAGIOUS AND SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE… NEGATIVITY BIAS.
James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
I AM SURPRISED BY ALL THE HOPELESSNESS I HEAR AND SEE ALL AROUND. Donald Trump was 45th president. The church has invested much in Trump. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW. Seems we think when God answers our prayers the way we expected it is God. When God answers our prayers different than what we demanded, WHERE IS GOD? When I was asked about all this prophecy AROUND 2020, my simple answer was: WE WILL SEE? I remember a well known preacher saying Covid 19 would disappear in one day, Covid 19 was prophecy will be over much sooner than you think. March 13,2020? Christian can be well intended but bring disgrace to the body of Christ. I also know life is not over either way. My simple philosophy is I AM A WINNER EITHER WAY.
I DO NOT MEAN TO BE OFFENSIVE, I BELIEVE IN PROPHECY… WHEN IT IS RIGHT. WE SELDOM DESIRE TO STIR UP A HOORNETS NEST WHEN IT IS WRONG.
As a teen I heard John Kennedy’s wound to the head made him anti Christ. Henry Kissinger was the anti-Christ.
I had people give me 88 REASONS WHY JESUS IS COMING BACK IN 1988. There follow a book 89 reason why in 1989. Fewer books were sold? Then remember the absolute panic and hoarding of Y2K, no radio, no TV, no electricity. No food?
POLITICS IN THE USA CAN GET DOWN RIGHT MEAN AND UGLY. WE THING THIS IS 2020 DIRT… DRAIN THE SWAMP MAY NOT BE AS EASY AS FIRST THOUGHT.
LINCOLN HAD A TERRIBLE ELECTION, IT WAS SO UGLY. There were 4 people running for office and the election was ugly. ABRAHAM LINCOLN LIVED IN ONE OF THE DARKEST DAYS IN USA HISTORY. The war between the states meant every death was a US CITIZEN. Lincoln was raised reading the King James Version of the Bible. Lincoln said: IT IS DARK! IT IS DARK EVERYWHERE! Lincoln was asked: IS THERE ANY NEWS FROM THE WAR ROOM. Lincoln replied: YES, PLENTY OF NEWS, BUT NO GOOD NEWS. IT IS DARK, DARK EVERYWHERE.
It was said Lincoln pulled out a little Bible and started reading. Lincoln was reading the book of JOB. Lincoln found hope, peace and comfort that God blesses and keeps His people through rough times. Abraham Lincoln is listed as the most popular president of the USA,
One of the joys of being an old man I have studied history plus I have been around the block a few times. In 1916 Charles Evans Hughes went to bed thinking he had defeated WOODROW WILSON. Wilson won.
THE HEADLINES WERE THOMAS DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN when Dewey went to bed. (Nov. 3, 1948.) It was the closest election in 32 years.
Harry Truman was given zero chance of winning in all the polls. It was called the political miracle of the century. Truman was President when I was born, his line was the BUCK STOPS HERE. I have great hope and peace that Jesus Christ is my Savior and my Lord THAN PARTY POLITICS.
The story of Senator Adlai Stevenson, II. General Eisenhower never had a chance. The next morning EISENHOWER won, and the public cried foul, no way Eisenhower could win.
Then I remember the evil man that was Catholic and we had had never had an evil Catholic President. When John Kennedy took office there was a cry: CLAIMING THE DOGS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE WHITE HOUSE.
Then President Lyndon Johnson after Kennedy’s death.
Then came the disgraceful RICHARD NIXON AND HIS WIFE'S FUR COAT? Then Water Gate. Then the only never elected president, GERALD Ford.
Then came high hopes for a Christian President JIMMY CARTER.
Then the much loved RONALD REAGAN.
George Bush one term.
Then we see William J. (Bill Clinton.) Many thought that he loved women and he and his wife Hillary had people killed? Bill Clinton’s election was called dirty tactics.
Then the 43 George W. Bush.
Bush was followed by BARRACK H. OBAMA, and Joe Biden. Seems evil reports follow Obama from the first.
Then President 45, Donald Trump. The media bias has grown daily against Trump. (Some real? Some not real?)
Now we are at 2020, the year of doom and gloom. The vote swings were apparent and the tensions and stress have the USA in great fear. There is great alarm over KAMALA HARRIS … (First Black woman)
I AM VERY CONFIDENT MY GOD IS IN CONTROL… AND GOD SAYS TRUST ME, DON’T TRUST THE HORSES… EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD KNOWS THE POLITICAL SYSTEMS ARE CORRUPT. GREED AND POWER CORRUPT THE BEST OF MEN.
Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Isaiah 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
AS OF THIS WRITING WE DO NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN IF JOE or DONALD WILL BE NEXT? WILL BIDEN BE PRESIDENT 46. This will be tied up in the courts for some time. I AM NOT WRITING TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING ABOUT THE PRO AND CONS of democracy … I WRITE FYI, MY GOD IS IN CONTROL… EXCEPT GOD IS IN CONTROL.
The downfall of the USA is greater than corrupt politicians. I see the downward spiral of family values. There is a clear Biblical issue of PERSISTENT UNFAITHFULNESS. We have devalued church and moral standards. I hear the cry to pray but seldom hear the CALL TO REPENTANCE.
In the midst of all this corruption and draining the swamp, I LIFT UP MY HEAD, REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH. United we stand, divided we fall. THE PLAN OF GOD IS GREATER THAN MAN’S UNDERSTANDING.GOD IS GREAT. God is not caught off guard nor is our God surprised and I shall explain this with history. GOD HAS A PLAN, HE DOES NOT NEED OUR OPINION. My God reigns supreme. My God reigns! God has a church without spot or wrinkle.
I HAVE GREAT HOPE AND PEACE. A merry heart does good like medicine. Shallow your pills. Stir the pot… some say Satan is alive and well, I beg to disagree. Hear me after CALVARY Satan has a terminal disease, he is doomed. JESUS IS ALIVE A WELL. Jesus ascended and is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. I stir the pot. I fan the flame. JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF ALL. JESUS SAID IF I BE LIFTED UP I WILL DRAW ALL MEN TO ME.
The church and the world operates under A DIVINE MANDATE. THE GATES OF HELL CANNOT PREVAIL. I am not alarmed however this election goes. I WALK BY FAITH. I preach truth. I avoid politics that can undermine SPIRITUAL TRUTHS. I put no political party down. I INVEST IN THE ETERNAL VALUE SYSTEM.
I LIFT MY HEAD FOR REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
SEEMS THE CRY OF GOD’S PEOPLE IS HAS GOD LOST CONTROL, CAN GOD BE ROBBED…
HOW MAN WICKED KINGS AND QUEENS DID GOD ALLOW TO RULE? NOTE: OFTEN WHEN GOD PUNISHED BACKSLIDDEN PEOPLE HE ALLOWED MEAN, WICKED RULERS. Again I have no prophecy, I am just a preacher seeing WICKED ISSUES FORCE PANIC AND WORRY ON GOD’S PEOPLE. I make no calls on elections, THE IS GOD’S BUSINESS. It is my business to TRUST GOD’S PLAN. Much of personal prophecy can be taken out of balance. Wrongful prophecy will be proven wrong. I am not making a call here… I AM TRUSTING GOD’S PLAN.
We live in a day where the media is bias, MIND CONTROL. We must stand even if we stand alone. Don't be forced into silence by the threats of media bullies. They have no control over the eternal, they can do nothing to your spirit man and your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, God is the one in control. He holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands. "What's the price of sparrows? Their price is very cheap? And God cares what happens to birds, but know God loves you more than you do! So don't let this world intimidate the church by all this popular opinions. You're worth God’s only son.
GOD HAS THIS COVER, BIDEN OR TRUMP? CHEATED OR FAIR? GOD KNOWS… THE ISSUE IS WILL WE TRUST GOD… HIS PLANS SEEM STRANGE TO ME…
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Many sing about God… Few sing to God. Many worship worship and praise praise. How many go to singing prayer meetings? Many testify about God… I do not have any desire to KNOW ABOUT GOD… IT IS MY DESIRE TO KNOW GOD IN HIS FULLNESS.
The more you know Jesus Christ in a personal way the less satisfied we will be about superficial. Come magnify the Lord, we will see him larger. Come with a telescope and we will trust the plan God has for us.
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Psalm 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Psalm 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
Psalm 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
GOD’S WAYS ARE HIGH ABOUT OUR THOUGHT PROCESSES. GOD NEED NOT GET OUR PERMISSION OR APPROVAL TO CARRY OUT HIS PLANS…
Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO HELL IN A BASKET, GOD HAS THIS ALL PLANNED OUT AND IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME? GOD SAID TRUST ME … GO THIS WAY AND I WILL BE WITH YOU AND LEAD YOU…
Exodus 13:17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: 18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. 19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you. 20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. 21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to 22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
MOSES WE THINK YOU ARE STUPID? WHY DID YOU LEAD US THIS WAY. MOSES GOD DID NOT SPEAK TO YOU? YOU TRUSTED GOD AND WE ARE GOING TO DIE… HELL IN A HANDBASKET?
Exodus 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
THE PEOPLE OF GOD SPOKE OF KILLING MOSES, THEY NEVER TRUSTED THE PLAN? NEVER TRUSTED THE PREACHER AND NEVER TRUSTED GOD… GOD IS THE ONLY HOPE THEY HAVE…
TRUST GOD’S PLAN OR BE DOOMED… GOD’S PLAN WAS THE RED SEA IN FRONT AND THE ENEMIES CAMP BEHIND… THEY COULD SEE THE DUST AND SMELL THE FEAR… GOD IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW US TO GO TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET. GOD’S PLAN IS SURE AND STEADFAST.
Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Exodus 14:19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
Exodus 14:30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
CONCLUSION:
Isaiah 3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
My friend this election, the 1860 election, all elections are at the hand of an ALMIGHTY GOD. It shall be well… IT IS WELL.
Persecution? Be assured Jesus has a plan of deliverance…
2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
DO WE TRUST THAT JESUS IS ALIVE AND WELL? Will we find assurance that God knows how to rescue his people from bad troubles and trials. There is a pay day at the end of the road.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
COME ON, LET US TRUST GOD’S PLAN… LET US CARRY JOSEPH’S DEAD BONES TO TESTIFY GOD IS WELL AND HE WATCHES OVER HIS PEOPLE! OBAMA? TRUMP? BIDEN? FAMINE? PESTILENCE? THE SWORD? GOOD LEADERS? BAD LEADERS? JEZEBEL? AHAB? MY GOD CAN HANDLE THIS SITUATION. THE QUESTION IS, WILL WE TRUST HIS PLAN?
God is opening a door of opportunity for his people and the church…The satanic goal is destructions… steal, kill and destroy.
Esther 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
ALL ELECTIONS ARE FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. DON’T FRET. DON’T WORRY. GOD IS ON HIS THRONE. WILL WE TRUST HIM? BIDEN? TRUMP? NO JESUS IS LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS. GOD CAN HANG HAMAN ON HIS OWN 6 STORY GALLOWS… MORDECAI TEACHES US…. GOD CAN!
Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
