Truly these are unprecedented days of trouble and turmoil for all of us -- the saved and the unsaved. Yet this is the time more than ever that we must remind ourselves that we do believe in a risen Savior . . . and we have a biblical basis for our hope.

In the midst of suffering and confusion, we must choose to trust in God like never before. This is a time like never before that God's Holy Scripture must ring in our hearts and only the confession of His Word must come out of our lips.[Prov. 3: 5 - 6]

It is a sad prophetic truth that it often takes hardship and disaster for many of us to put our eyes on Jesus and begin to totally lean on His Word and hold on to His promises!

These are some of the times when I wish I did not have to 'deliver the mail' from heaven as His prophet of God. No one likes to share hard news -- but I chose to be obedient and share what He tells me to share. We all have been excited about 2009 and honing in on the number 9 and its meaning. Yet one of the main meanings of completion is 'judgment.' A woman carries a child for 9 months ... a school year is 9 months ... there are 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit . . . and there are 9 fruit of the Spirit. God is dealing with America and we are experiencing the harvest for many of the ungodly choices as a nation. But the prayers of the righteous availeth much!!!
