I got an e-mail forwarded to me the other day, and I am real good at dumping forwards, but something told me to open this one. It told of how the US of A was sending warships over to the Middle East to defend Israel against the latest threats from Iran. Since I had heard nothing on the news, so I decided to Google it, and many Mid East news reports confirmed it. Wanting to know more, I got on CNN's web site-NO mention of it! Even did a word search for it, nothing even archived! Could this be true, the world's greatest-their own words, news reporting station missed this? So I checked Fox, and guess what-NO mention of it either! Not even archived when searched! Is that fair, or just stupid?
Finally yesterday, I saw a small blurb running across the bottom during a newscast that the Carl Vinson was involved there for training exercises. Almost a full week after the event, finally an acknowledgment! And not even mentioned in the newscast! Hope no one lost their job over that one.
Maybe I should check these forwards more carefully. It seems we have become a society that is based on gossip-what do you think Face book really is, on important news items such as Lindsay Lohan's latest drunk driving escapade, or the adjusting of the unemployment figures. Don't get that one myself, either you are working, or you're not. So we never do get the truth. So much for the fourth estate and integrity. Sanitized for their protection. Never yours.
The book of Jude, the one right before Revelation warns of these liars. Read it. Only one chapter. More there than on any 60 Minutes broadcast. Read 2John too. They tell and warn about false teachers. Check the scriptures, see if God or CNN knows more. And who is telling the truth? Now, who is really fair and balanced?
But certain things are going on that effect everyone. And as Christians we have been given a front row seat via prophecy. We need to pray for Israel, and Netanyahu. And us, too! For scripture warns that anyone who is against Israel is God's enemy, and anyone who is her friend is His friend. What part of that don't we get? Yet as we see all nations in the world turn against this New Jersey sized country, we show little or no interest. And we need to, for all the final battles are here, and many today too, and so it should be our focus. Our future is Israel based. Does it make sense to remain their friend? Do friends treat friends like the White House treat Netanyahu?
These are the last days, and we should focus more on God than ever. A change is coming, a rebirth, note the Bible never tells us the world will end, it describes birth pangs. And that part of these events will be a removal by God of all Christians, the rapture, then the tribulation. If you are a non-believer, and think it is tough with us here, you do not want to be here after we are gone. Hollywood will not even come close with all the FX available. Satan is in charge then, he hates God, so what do you think he thinks of you? Satan, aka Lucifer was once the music of heaven-his body was all the instruments. But he wanted to be praised like God, and he and 1/3 of the angels were thrown from heaven. He is still Prince of the Airwaves, maybe that explains pornography, decadent music, and the lack of truth in the media. He is his own propaganda department, and controls the air! Yes, talk radio, too. Spreading lies about God, making fun of Jesus, and trying to belittle Christians every chance he gets. Tim Tebow is just his latest target. Do you want to make the news? Take a stand for Jesus! But God is still in control! So do not fear!
Only God can snatch victory from defeat's claws. Not the other way around. And His will goes far deeper than any news company, government, or individual's. He is love, and when we turn to Him can experience joy and peace far beyond anything understandable. So why try to understand, when the peace you seek is freely available? How about trusting God, and letting Him be God? So He can make you a better you?
Deep in the archives the media already has reports ready to release after the rapture occurs. UFO's, atomic war, plagues, the GOP, and who knows what else will be given as an excuse. And the world will be thrilled as anti-Christ takes over to free them from the bondage that Christians put the world under. A liar until the end. So you see, the media knows what goes on, it is their choice to report it or not. To slant it or not. To be fair and balanced or not. How many times must you lie before you are known as one? Only in Jesus will you get truth-the truth!
Sincerity only counts if you believe the truth. Sincerely following a lie ends in disaster. So ask God today how to pray. Much work is left, and few workers. Which means more blessings for those who do work! The season is here, the signs are there, but where are you? Be a newsmaker, and go in the rapture-this is one event you never want to read about after it has happened. And pray for Israel, and Netanyahu. Contrary to what the Godfather says, "keep your enemies close, but God closer." And His family of believers. And rest in the comfort that He will never leave you or forsake you...no matter what the news says!
Only the gospel is good news...let's report that more and see what a difference it makes!
love with compassion,
Mike
