“There failed not aught of any good thing which the Lord had spoken” (Josh. xxi. 45).
"Some day, even you, trembling, faltering one, shall stand upon those heights and look back upon all you have passed through, all you have narrowly escaped, all the perils through which He guided you, the stumblings through which He guarded you, and the sins from which He saved you; and you shall shout, with a meaning you cannot understand now, “Salvation unto Him who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.”
Simpson, A. B. (Albert B.). Days of Heaven Upon Earth (p. 282).
Safest web-hosting platforms and companies? I've had my own multi-media and web-design company in the past but widely relied on Wordpress, Squarespace etc. These platforms are de-platforming various websites not following the nominal narratives. Been out of the game awhile. What are you all using? I used HostGator in the past as well. Thanks for lending your thoughts and experiences.
“Sometimes people fail because they have not confidence in the Physician. The very first requirement of this Doctor is, that you trust Him, and trust Him implicitly, so implicitly that you go forward on His bare word, and act as if you had received His healing the moment you claimed His promise. But no one would expect to be healed by an earthly doctor as soon as they obeyed his directions. You must do what the Great Physician tells you, if you expect Him to make you whole. You cannot expect to be healed if you are living in sin, any more than you could expect the best physician to cure you while you lived in a malarial climate and inhaled poison with every breath. So you must get up into the pure air of trust and obedience before Christ can make you whole. And then, if you will trust Him, and attend to His directions, you will find that there is balm in Gilead, and that there is a Great Physician there.“
AB Simpson
“Precious souls sometimes fight tremendous battles in order to attain to righteousness in trying places. Perhaps the heart has become wrong in some matter where temptation has been allowed to overcome, or at least to turn it aside from its singleness unto God; and the conflict is a terrible one as it seeks to adjust itself and be right with God, and finds itself baffled by its own spiritual foes, and its own helplessness, perplexity and perversity. How dark and dreary the struggle, and how helpless and ineffectual it often seems at such times! It is almost sure to strive in the spirit of the law, and the result always is condemnation and failure.
Every disobedience is met by a blow of wrath, and discouragement, and it well nigh sinks to despair. Oh, if the tempted and struggling one could only understand or remember what perhaps he has learned before, that Christ is our righteousness, and that it is not by law but by grace alone. That is the secret of the whole battle.”
AB Simpson
“What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven....” Mat 18:18
“These are precious words. Here heaven is measured by earth, for there is always more power in heaven than the measure of our asking; there is always more to be loosed or bound in heaven than we ask down here. Why do we seek deliverance from sin? Why are we always crying to God for enduement with power? To pray “Thy will be done in me” is a good beginning no doubt, but we must go on to “Thy will be done on earth.” The children of God today are taken up with far too small things, whereas their prayer is intended for the release of heaven’s mighty acts. Prayer for myself or my own immediate concerns must lead on to prayer for the Kingdom. In this the church should be heaven’s outlet, the channel of release for heaven’s power, the medium of accomplishment of God’s purpose. Many things have accumulated in heaven because God has not yet found His outlet on earth; the church has not yet prayed.”
Watchman Nee
“Concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.” Isaiah 45:11
“Here in time, God is not free. He does not move His children about like pawns on a board but has limited Himself to their free choice. Wittingly He has done this, knowing what it will bring Him in the end. In eternity past God was unlimited; there was no second will. Again in eternity future He will be unlimited, for love will have conquered, and man’s freewill will be one with His. That is His glory. But now, in time, God has limited Himself. Only as men of freewill are with Him today can He accomplish His purpose. And freewill means I can obey or not, as I choose. It is as though God had put at our disposal a locomotive of immense power, and we were told to lay the track. The power is there, and the destination is planned, but the engine does not control the rails. It is the rails that have power to limit the engine. “Ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” How great is our responsibility!”
Watchman Nee
“The Lord IS my shepherd.” Not was, not may be, nor will be. . . is my shepherd on Sunday, is on Monday, and is through every day of the week; is in January, is in December, and every month of the year, is at home, and is in China; is in peace, and is in war; in abundance, and in penury.“. - Hudson Taylor
Though no basis for it exists, I personally felt a victory for the Lord when Biden was elected. Neither my wife nor I felt led to fast during the Inaugural week, nor do my feelings have anything to do with Biden's supposed ascension to the Oval Office or his godless enterouge. God loves to take what the enemy devises for evil and reverse it for His victory. God's miraculous boomerangs are visible all through Scripture... The Red Sea, Joseph, Daniel and his 3 brethren, Lazerous, Peter, even the cross of Christ. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He loves to confound the wisest of the world through the foolishness and babes.
I found it interesting yesterday while visiting one of the heavy hitters in the Energy Industry, that I had to take a COVID Survey (using my feet to select the answers), which afterward I was required to swipe my Texas Drivers License... the TX License also doubles as a "REAL" ID Card.
The REAL ID Card act of 2005 has been adopted by multiple states allowing ID cards to double as an approved federal ID for boarding aircraft, entering Fed & Military installations etc.
We are witnessing the ramping up of the digital control infrastructure which will eventually lead to John's vision and revelation of the "Mark of the Beast". It is becoming easier and easier to see just how possible the complete control of "buying and selling" could transpire.
Keep vigilant Saints. I personally believe the Lord warned us (and His Disciples) of these times as it seems scripturally plain that some level of the Church will experience it.
“Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
“Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The LORD shall hold them in derision.”
Psalm 2:1-4
Madonna (Democrat): "Let's blow up the white house!"
Peter Fonda (Democrat): "Lock 10 year old Barren Trump in a cage with child molesters."
Johnny Depp (Democrat): "We need another John Wilks Booth!"
Tom Arnold (Democrat): "I fantasize about standing over Donald Trump Jr.'s dead body!"
Kathy Griffith (Democrat): Holds up a bloody, decapitated head of Donald Trump
Snoop Dog: (Democrat): Shoots a likeness of Trump in a music video, has Donald Trump in a body bag on his album cover
Joe Biden (Democratic presidential hopeful): "I'd like to take Trump behind a barn to beat him."
Corey Booker (Democratic presidential hopeful): "I dream of punching Trump in the face."
Maxine Waters (Sitting Democratic congresswoman) "Harass Trump's staff and supporters in public and refuse to serve them."
But according to the left wing media/DNC talking points, it's Trump with the hateful rhetoric... all in the name of TOLERANCE...
