“No weapon that is formed against thee shall
prosper; And every tongue that shall rise against
thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”
Isaiah 54:17

This is one of many favorite scriptures that I love and embrace. It declares how God’s greatness and goodness is given to His people: Not just Israel but us as well. “This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord”. For God is our righteousness.
God is promising, no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper. It doesn’t matter what the enemy throws at you; God’s got you covered. Hallelujah! So, when you feel overwhelmed, and threatened by the biggest attack of your life; God said: It will not prevail or succeed.
Our God is God, and all power is given into His hands. Child of God, stop acting like the Devil is so big, and realize nothing he can do can destroy you, for in Christ, we always triumph over every trial (2 Cor. 2:14). The Devil is a liar! Jesus is Lord! With the finger of God, He casteth out devils (St. Luke 11:20).
O that we all could keep faith in God. Without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6). I realize that it may be easier said, than done. Nevertheless; let God be true and every man a liar (Romans 3:4).

God bless you,
and keep you through it all.

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the Faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”
1 Timothy 4:1&2

The Spirit of God spoke very clearly about the times we are living in. In 2 Timothy 3:1 he called it perilous times, which means “fierce times”; “hard times”. I can testify from experience, that these have been the most difficult times of my ministry. And I believe it is because people have become hardened to the Gospel. They don’t have the fear of the Lord as was in the days of old.
Paul wrote: They speak lies in hypocrisy and their conscience is seared with a hot iron. That’s very strong language He is using, that describes how bad it really is. Sad to say, but most people are living in a false security.
What we need in order to defeat these seducing Spirits is a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit: And that will only come when the church, God’s people, pray with fervent prayer unto the Lord, and seek Him with their whole heart. God has not changed; He will move in power and glory if only the church would wake up.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
Proverbs 29:18

One interpretation of this scripture is: “Where there is no understanding of responsibility regarding keeping the law, the people perish for its lack of enforcement.” We see this happening in our land today; and hence, there is destruction, violence, and every evil work. People’s dreams are shattered. Their future is facing emptiness and despair, for the vision perishes.
Psalms 1: verses 1-3 declares: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. – But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. – And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Hallelujah! God’s blessing is upon those who love His word and who abide in His ways. This generation is filled with lawlessness, which is the Spirit of the Antichrist. But no matter what the enemy tries to do, if you stay in God’s word and hold to the vision He has given you, the Spirit of the Lord will prevail in your Life. God bless you, and keep looking up.

“But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children’s children; To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them.”
Psalm 103:17&18

God is a good God; there is none beside Him. He is the only true and only wise God. He shows mercy to all who fear (reverence) Him, and blessing to those who keep His covenant.
Israel is a blessed nation because of the covenant God made with them. America was also founded upon His commandments and have been in covenant with the Lord. God is no respecter of persons; anyone who will put their faith in Him, and obey His word; He will show mercy and favor to them.
My concern in America is that we have turned away from our God, and broken His covenants, and we are also turning away from Israel in standing in support of them as we should.
I am asking all who will hear, to pray for Israel and renounce these anti-Semitic protests we see taking place in our nation. I am calling upon all who care about the church and the nation to seek the Lord with your whole heart, and resist the Spirit of slumber and compromise that is manifesting in these end times. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Get out of your comfort zone and laziness, and fight against the Spirit of evil. God’s grace is sufficient to save us: But if we don’t change, judgment will surely come. Please hear what the Spirit is saying.

“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.”
Isaiah 55:6

Dear Brothers and Sister’s in the Lord, we are still in the days of grace; but Heaven knows, the Lord’s coming is nigh at hand. We must redeem the time (make wise use of it), for the days are evil. We cannot afford to sit idly by and waste the time we have, while the harvest is yet to be reaped. Jesus said, “Say not four months and then cometh harvest. For behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” (St. John 4:35).
It is harvest time now; But we must not delay to reap. For soon the time of reaping will be past. We must seek God now, while He may be found. We must call (pray) upon Him while He is near. There are dark clouds on the horizon. The enemy is plotting to steal the harvest, God help us to go forth and reap before it’s too late.
Jeremiah 8:20 – “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” That is the cry of those who have procrastinated to get right while He is near.
Dear Church family, I admonish you: Pray hard, witness to your loved ones and those around you. Put in the sickle, for it’s time to reap. Get them in Church.

Love,
Pastor Larry
