my mind

"O God, where art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy hiding place? How long shall thy hand be stayed, and thine eye, yea thy pure eye, behold from the eternal heavens the wrongs of thy people and of thy servants, and thine ear be penetrated with their cries? Yea, O Lord, how long shall they suffer these wrongs and unlawful oppressions, before thine heart shall be softened toward them, and thy bowels be moved with compassion toward them?"

my friends, brothers and sisters, this subject has been on my mind for quite some time now, and so I decided I needed to share my feelings, and beliefs.

how often do we feel as if God's place, (heaven) is being covered from us? (personally or in other respects, for all intensive purposes, I want to address this on a worldly scale) It is my personal belief that God's Hiding place (hereafter to be referred to as heaven) is not covered from our world leaders. but perhaps those leaders are covering themselves from the influence of the Almighty.

Now, it is not my place to make judgments toward anyone, especially our country's leaders. but as we are about to find ourselves with a new Commander-in-chief I feel it is my place, or all of our places, to step forward, and vote for him who is most qualified to receive inspiration from our Heavenly Father. now, I will not go into politics for all of you know my feelings on both candidates. but, I would stress, we need to look to him who best fits that mold of the Presidents of old. those who actually, 1. listened to the people, 2. listened to their (worthy) advisers, and most importantly 3. listened to the Lord as best they could.

now, on to the 2nd part of my bluster. and the 2nd part of that wonderful scripture.
"O Lord, how long shall they suffer these wrongs and unlawful oppressions, before thine heart shall be softened toward them, and thy bowels be moved with compassion toward them?"

I feel as if we are all being oppressed, not necessarily in the ways we normally think of, or even in the ways that the prophet was speaking of. but by the Advisary, Satan knows his time is short, he knows he only has a short amount of time before the second coming of our Lord. He is fighting like never before, "he is taking the strongest, most courageous souls from the ranks of heaven" he knows exactly what can make each and every one of us fall into sin, but we are strong! "there will be a day when the hearts of men will fail, but today is not that day, today, we fight!" we must fight! there is no other way. in the end. the outcome is clear, and pre-destined, the forces of righteousness will prevail. but we must decide today which side we will be standing on when the Lord comes again.

my dear brothers and sisters, the end is near, I feel we will see the 2nd coming in our life time, we cannot wait any longer to do what is right! we can not procrastinate our salvation any longer. my brothers and sisters, take the hand of the Lord. we are in the middle of the raging sea, and only him, ONLY THE LORD can save us. he is the only one who can reach out, and take hold of us, and pull us to the surface. I pray I can take the hand of the Lord. I pray I can withstand the raging sea around me, long enough to see my savior once again, in flesh, and be able to say, in the last day, that I was faithful, that I did all I could do. that I did not just my best, but my VERY best.

My friends, we are in the final days, there is no doubt about it, all is falling into place, prophecy being fulfilled, the time is gone when we could stand, and bathe in Hell's cesspools with the supposition that we can repent later, and all will be forgiven. the time is now to repent, and come unto Christ. I pray I can do what is right, I pray I can do all the Lord asks of me, and I pray I can be a light on a hill, and shine to the world. this I pray, with my humble plea, come unto Jesus my brothers and sisters.
