Listen to the generosity of God:
“I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ to a nation that did not call on My name. I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts...” Isaiah 65:1-2
God wants to save us more than we want to be saved. That fact is a very wonderful thing, but it is also a wonderfully useless thing if we never become equally desperate for our salvation.
Deliverance from sin is easy if we want it but impossible if we do not.

“People whose lives are determined by human flesh focus their minds on matters of human flesh, but people whose lives are determined by the spirit focus their minds on matters to do with the spirit.” Romans 8:5 NTE
This is such an important word for this season in world history. The future looks pretty horrible in the natural world. But God is spirit and does not share our limits of wisdom, foresight, nor strength. Now more than ever we need to learn to walk in the spirit with the Holy Spirit. This is the only way to walk in victory.
“Focus on the flesh, and you will die; but focus on the spirit and you will have life and peace.” Romans 8:6 NTE

Second Great Awakening Change and Results
"Finney believed the gospel did not just get people saved, but it was also a means of cleaning up society. He and his followers worked to make the United States a Christian nation. Finney himself was a strong abolitionist and encouraged Christians to become involved in the antislavery movement... The Second Great Awakening had a greater effect on society than any other revival in America."
Amen, brother Finney. Amen.
Jacob Wells had a vision from God for such a time as this. We have nearly lost free speech with the rise of Fascism, popularly known as "cancel culture." Governments and enormous corporations have conspired to monopolize the world of thought and silence opinions and positions they don't like, creating significant potential for exploiting the weak without accountability. Through his unashamedly Christian crowd-funding platform, Give Send Go, Jacob Wells is standing in the gap for the voiceless, not least persecuted Christians and patriots, and preserving a measure of freedom today. I am excited to share the inspiring story of Give Send Go with you.

Here is a little background on our brother Torben Sondergaard. It is clear that he has made the Devil mad. Let's follow his example.
Hide God's Word in Your Heart
Good Morning, Friends!
I don't know about you, but I am finding my sense of security in my country eroding daily. I used to feel safe and protected here in the USA but not anymore. Is anyone else with me in this boat? Is God rearranging the furniture of your life like He is mine?
What gives you strength?
What gives you courage?
What gives you peace?
What gives you joy?
What gives you hope?
Strong Christian community is one major source of peace and strength for me. What about you? It is a very important time to know where our strength lies.
Good Morning!
I have a good and important word to share with you this morning.
