"The high and lofty One who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this: I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts." Isaiah 57

"Listen! the Lord's arm is not too weak to save you, nor is His ear too deaf to hear you call...He put on righteousness as His body armor and place the helmet of salvation on His head...And this is my covenant with them, says the Lord. 'My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. they will be on your lips, and on the lips of your children and your children's children forever. I, the Lord, have spoken!" Isaiah 59

"Give thanks, to the Lord, for He is good! Has the Lord redeemed you? Then Speak out! Tell others He has redeemed you from your enemies...

'Lord, help!' they cried in their trouble, and He rescued them from their distress...

'Lord, help!' they cried in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. He sent out His word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death!" Psalm 107

"But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don't the Advocate won't come. If I do go away then I will send Him to you. And when he comes He will convict the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment. The world's in is that it refuses to believe in Me...

He will not speak on His own but will tell you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future. he will bring Me glory by telling you whatever He receives from Me. All that belongs to the Father is mine, and this is why I said, 'The Spirit will tell you whatever He receives from Me'...

I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly and He will grant your request because you use My Name....

For the Father Himself loves you dearly because you believe Me and believe that I came from God...

Here on earth, you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world." John 16

Has this past week been troubling for you? It has been for me, both physically, and spiritually. I'm getting old and my body is continually in pain and wearing out. Not fun - can't wait for my new one. Perhaps some of you can relate? After my visit to the Kingdom, standing on the streets of gold, viewing the Temple foundational stones, I NEED to get back there ASAP! You can't believe the absolute beauty and glory of where we will spend eternity.

I have been waiting upon the Holy Spirit to provide me with the details of this complex study that you are about to read. I cannot proceed without His instructions, thus I have "discussed my concerns" with Him about what is now occurring throughout the world. The Holy Spirit is so kind, understanding, and loving. with His response to me of "Wait until the time is right Tom...I have more to come." Today at 5:30 a.m., the timing was correct and now these thoughts that I would like to share with you, have been the basis of my recent concerns before the Lord.

The time for the Last Great Revival for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has arrived. I will comment on this victory in just a quick minute, so stand by for some exciting thoughts encourage your participation in this Eternal Event. The clock is winding down and we are soon to leave this dying planet for our new Home - Praise The Lord who made this increditible journey possible.

Let us consider some current events that have surfaced this past week that will open the door for the anti-christ and his one world government:

(1) Europe will implode shortly, both politically, socially, and financially.

This month's issue of "CFO Magazine", was focused on the pending economic collapse of Greece, the Euro currency, and the various member countries of the EC that will sink. This magazine is a premier publication that chief financial officers of the corporate world utilize to assist them in their short term, and long term corporate financial planning. It was a bit shocking to read about what these experts are stating as fact, not conjecture.

This week Saint Sarkozy was replaced as the president of France. This is not a mistake. He will now move back into the European/Global community to quietly build his one world government. Upon the collapse of the European Community this ordained and living Saint will take the reigns of leadership to "restore EC stability". France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and possibly Germany, will follow the path of Greece within the next 6 months. At this point, Saint Sarkozy, with the full backing and support of the independent country known as the Vatican, will then be called upon to restore order and stability within the EC.

Economic and political instability provides satan with the opportunity to exploit his planned destruction of the Church. On May 12th., Reuters carried an article on the cult of the sun god Apollo, who conducted a ceremony at the ruins of the Temple of Hera to light the Olympic torch that is carried around the world. This torch will then light the master torch at the upcoming Olympic Games in July and pay honor and worship to Apollo.

Because of the economic stress within the country of Greece, satan has been very active. There has been a large resurgence of the ancient Greek religions/gods within Greece as the nation collapses into financial ruin. The news reports as of today indicate that the Greek populace are draining their bank accounts of all cash. Banks have announced that they will shortly declare a banking holiday, close up, and reopen when the "new currency" and government are enacted. The European Community, as announced by Merkel of Germany, stated that Greece would not be bailed out. (http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2012/may/12/greek-euro-exit-not-unthinkable)

Oh, by the way, our country is also falling into this same dilemma. Can you recall a City named "New Orleans" that was completely wiped out - like to the ground by "natural disasters"? Well again this week, I was reading where our city's local football team defeated the team from New Orleans, known as the "VooDoo's" I was shocked. I went to the "VooDoo's" home site and this is what I found:

"The team was given the name in recognition of the city's reputation as a center for the West African and West Indian practice of voodoo, introduced here in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Appropriately, the VooDoo's official mascots are known as Bones and Mojo. Their cheerleaders are called the VooDoo Dolls."

On May 12th, I read an article from the Associated Press pertaining to the massive resurgence of the Greek Nazi Party known as the Golden Dawn. These folks make no bones about their intention of physically deporting EVERY non-Greek from their country. They now control 25% of their Greek parliament and Greece is NOT the only European country on this mission. The following article from the Boston Globe, dated May 12th, provides some interesting data on this movement by a number of European countries who plan to follow this same path as Greece:

http://www.boston.com/news/world/europe/articles/2012/05/17/greek_party_most_extreme_of_europes_far_right/

(2) North Korea is starving to death and the leadership's back is to the wall. Don't be surprised to see massive crowds of people sweeping into China and S. Korea to get a meal. The current government will either launch an attack against S. Korea, or become another Syria in the next few short weeks. Sanctions and world pressure is taking their toll upon the failing government with very predictable results. This action will again drain monies out of the United States coffers and add to our ever-building challenges as we face possible military assistance to South Korea.

(3) Ezekiel 39 is about to launch. Take a quick look at today's "Prophecy Update" www.prophecyupdate.com , (May 17th) and note that the U.S. envoy to Israel has disclosed that plans are now active to attack Iran. This is really an ongoing "one up-man-ship" with Israel as to who will launch an attack on Iran first. Yesterday Prophecy Update reported on the combined U.S. - Mid East military drill against Iran as sponsored by Jordan....Israel was not asked to participate - of course. We recommend that you check this site at least twice per day to stay informed of what is quickly transpiring on a daily basis. Mr. Thomas, the author of this site and ministry is a "gleaner par-excellence" and devotes his Biblical expertise in keeping Christians informed as to what is going on. Great site indeed.

(4) Preparations are now in full swing for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. This past week, I read 2 very provocative articles on Jpost.com, (Jerusalem Post) pertaining to this ongoing certainty, as quietly sanctioned by the Israeli government. Here is an interesting link pertaining to the need of reinstituting animal sacrifice within the planned Temple: http://www.jpost.com/JewishWorld/JewishFeatures/Article.aspx?ID=269483&R=R1

(5) Czar Putin, the main mover for the Ezekiel 39 format, is again back in power. If you will recall, Putin in his previous presidency did, in fact, publically declare that he was the "new czar" of Russia. Putin is without a single doubt insane, power driven, and the enemy of both the United States and Israel. Russia is the supplier of arms to Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt.

On May 12th, the Associated Press provided yet another interesting Biblical verification as to this anti-Christ:

"MOSCOW (AP) — The skinny dissident is thrown headfirst into a police van by camouflage-clad officers. Nearby, a dozen bearded men bearing Russian Orthodox crosses and wearing skull-and-crossbones T-shirts cheer on the cops...The church has sold out to Vladimir Putin — becoming an arm of his regime more interested in gold than souls.

Putin, who returned to the presidency last week, has used the church as a potent tool in his command structure, allowing it to amass vast riches in return for unquestioning support of his policies and spiritual blessing for his leadership."

Putin also declined to attend Obama's G8 Summit in Chicago to discuss the world's pending financial disaster. This is a MASSIVE political insult to not only Obama, but to every member of the G8 world power leaders. Putin has clearly stated that he is The Power and the world will now serve him, or live in fear of his power to come. Standby on this one good friends - satan has full control and possession of Mr. Putin and I'm not kidding.

(6) The State of California will enter financial default by September and will require Federal assistance to provide even the basic services to it's citizens. The governor stated that he made an slight underestimation of "this year's" budget deficit. Governor Brown, (we gave him the name of "Governor Moonbeam" at the time of his first disastrous rule. Why did the voters again elect this person is crazy), announced that instead of the projected 9 Billion Dollar shortfall, it was now "estimated" to be 14 - 19 Billion Dollars. Folks, that is only for this year! It is very obvious that the State of California will default on their various financial obligations, to include various State pensions, health care programs, and educational facilities. This will be the proverbial financial abyss with no door left open for relief.

(7) The political war of lies, deception, and "pie in the sky" promises are in full swing. We have a Mormon running for president, (see our book, "The Mormonoids") and I can assure you good reader, that absolutely NOTHING he states is the truth. Mormonoids are deceptive, live a life of deception, and promote deception. This statement is made after my intense, year long study of Mormonism and the absolute perversion of this satan based religion. Not kidding - read my book and you will get the FACTS of my research.

Compare this "candidate" with the proven track record of ongoing deceit, calamity, and insanity of the current president, vice president, "former" Speaker of the House who is once again on a power climb, and you will see that our entire government is based upon a platform of deception.

Question: Does ANYONE in our government tell the truth - the absolute truth - at anytime - on any subject?

These are the subjects and concerns that I have been actively discussing with the Lord for the past 10 days. I have sincerely asked Him what must I do as His servant to help others in these times of need? What should we as members of His Family, do to prepare each other to again prepare for what is to come? The Holy Spirit has given me an ever-building supply of responses to my questions and concerns over the past 10 days. Today the pieces of the puzzle have come into place and everything makes sense.

Throughout the past week, the Lord has given me so many Scriptures pertaining to His provision, protection, blessings, and promises that they have blown me away. We are truly the MOST blessed people living on the face of the earth. We have absolutely NOTHING to fear.

(A) Despite the ever-growing unemployment problem, coupled with massive foreclosures in the housing markets, and the domino effects of the upcoming California financial implosion, we His people, have absolutely NOTHING to fear. These events have long ago been put into place and His promises for His people remain unwavering.

The cited promises in the above Scriptural verses, are minuscule in proportion to what the Holy Spirit has given me this past week! This study blog does not have the space to list them all. We are super blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

I know of a good number of Christians who are in fact, unemployed, but lack nothing. They are NOT homeless, never miss a meal, and continue to see ongoing miracles of His provision within their lives.

How about you good friend? Despite your limited financial provisions today, how many times has the Lord come through for you - this past month alone??? He continues to provide for Sandy and I on a daily basis - AS THE NEED ARISES.

Sandy and I own nothing - but want for nothing.

If the financial need arises, then the Lord always comes through for us.

If we are hit physically, Sandy and I call upon the Lord, and we are healed.

How many miracles have you witnessed in the lives of your Christian friends recently? I'm not talking about the Big Miracles, but the everyday "meet my immediate needs" stuff. Like a credit card bill this is due, but no cash available, or how to make the car payment, and "Now that I'm out of work Lord, how will I get by" quandaries that hit us. These "back door" miracles and/or answers from the Lord we commonly over look, but are in fact, His direct intervention in our daily needs.

Why not start a journal of these miracles to share with those non-Christian friends of yours when the Holy Spirit brings them across your path?

I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly and He will grant your request because you use My Name....

For the Father Himself loves you dearly because you believe Me and believe that I came from God...

Here on earth, you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."

(B) Sandy and I know of a good number of Christian friends who are suffering from terminal illnesses. Despite their medical prognosis, they are still here, maintaining active Christian fellowship, are not bed ridden, and are receiving the best of medical care. This medical care by the way, is normally not covered by their providers, (for those who have medical insurance), yet the outstanding care continues. Why?

(C) We live in a town of where we see ongoing wicca decals on the rear windows of countless vehicles. Hindu yoga studios are all over the place teaching "fitness" with hidden Hindu lies and deception. The Mormonoid billboards are everywhere. The only thing that's lacking are Christian decals and any sign of the upcoming Revival....that is until this past month.

We now see countless Christian decals on vehicles throughout the city! They're everywhere!!

The Mormonoid billboards are not there anymore...what happened? The two massive billboards on our main highway in town are gone as of this week. Oops.

Sandy's three latest editions of "Good Housekeeping" magazine were loaded with Christian testimonies, to include Robin Roberts from the "Good Morning America" show. My "Hearing Loss Association" magazine has also contained three Christian testimonies, and my "American Legion" magazine the same story. Our edition of "Biblical Archeology Review", a Jewish publication, now has Christian articles and this has never happened before. Why?

In order for Sandy and I to get a seat at our local church service on Sunday, we must arrive at least 30 minutes early. All 4000+ seats are filled, with people sitting on the floor in the aisles, and standing along the walls. This occurs for all 3 services! Why? Because the pastor is power packing the community with the Truth of the Gospel and people are flocking to hear the Word. This church is NOT an "entertainment, seeker friendly " operation. Our pastor is kind, reflects the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the community, BUT preaches the NO COMPROMISE Word of God. This same story is popping out of the Word-Centered Churches in our city. They are packing out every Sunday.

People are looking for answers to life and the Bible-Centered Churches, that present the NO COMPROMISED Word of the Lord, are providing them with the facts. The results speak for themselves.

Question: Do you need some concrete answers - RIGHT NOW - for your life?

"I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly and He will grant your request because you use My Name...."

All you need to do then is ask for help and you will get it. Not a big deal at all.

I have continually discussed with the Lord about my willingness to serve Him. I "remind" Him that He taught us in His Word about the three servants, (Matthew 25), who were given money to invest on behalf of their master. The one servant gave back an investment of ten times what he was initially given. That is what I want to do for my Lord and I continually "discuss" this with Him. I just want to serve Him, however I need for the Holy Spirit to open to door and then tell me how to proceed.

Today I had to get a nail pulled from our vehicle's tire. I went to my local repair shop where I know the manager from my previous visits. The Holy Spirit threw open a door and I had an opportunity to share the Gospel - with powerful results - and the door was thrown open for me to do so. I wasn't looking to "witness" to this fellow, however the Holy Spirit made it very clear that this fellow was seeking some answers to life.

I then went next door to a local building supply company to check out some decking material. I'm standing there in the store looking at the flooring samples and the owner came up to me and just began to talk. This fellow is a well known and respected business/political leader within our community and he walked up to me! The door flew open and again the Holy Spirit took control. It was powerful and I will be hearing from this gentleman again. I did nothing and the Holy Spirit brought this man to me to share His Word. This fellow was looking for some answers and the Holy Spirit again threw open the door. Powerful indeed.

"Give thanks, to the Lord, for He is good! Has the Lord redeemed you? Then Speak out! Tell others He has redeemed you from your enemies..."

I could continue, however we are running out of space, but I must share this Truth with you.

Over the past 6 months, I have felt a Loving Presence that I cannot accurately describe. I'm literally overwhelmed with the Love of the Father. HE personally, has told me how much HE loves me! It is beyond profound. My earth-bound intellect cannot begin to describe HIS Love. I feel as if I'm a three year old child getting smothered in my grandfather's arms. My "ABBA" is beyond wonderful and loves me like I have NEVER been loved at anytime in my life here on earth.

I want you to have this love in your life.

In fact good friend, I want EVERYONE to experience this increditible love, then they can tell everyone they know of how wonderful the Father truly is. All I had to do was ask the Father to show me His love as HE promised in this verse: "For the Father Himself loves you dearly because you believe Me and believe that I came from God"

Please do me a favor and ask the Father to do this for you - right now! Don't hesitate - just ask and HE will smother you in His Love - promise.

Oh, by the way, all the above items that appear in numbers 1-7.... mean absolutely nothing. The people of this world are overwhelmed with fear and live a life of desperation. Not us.

We are very special people. We are loved by ABBA and nothing in this world has ANY effect upon us. You will understand exactly what I mean when HE comes upon you!!!

We live a life of I Corinthians 13 and we have the exciting opportunity to share these blessings and promises with everyone we meet. We are soon to be "outa here", however we have this I Corinthians 13 blessing to give away on a moment-by-moment basis. How fun.

The "Real $ecret" To $uccess - now revealed

2012-05-05T04:43:42Z

The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you." So Abram departed as the LORD had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.... "Then the Lord APPEARED to Abram..." Genesis 12 ( The Lord also appeared to Abe in Genesis 15, Genesis 17, Genesis 18, Genesis 22 and until his death in Genesis 25.)

POINTS for consideration:

(1) There is absolutely nothing in the preceding scriptures to indicate that Abram knew the Person of the Lord.

(2) The Lord suddenly called upon Abram and told him to drop everything, leave his family, and go where he is instructed to go.

(3) Abraham complied and for the remainder of his lifetime he was homeless. His needs were always met and the Lord Himself, continued to personally appear to Abraham throughout the remaining years of his life on earth.

(4) Abraham, because he choose to follow the instructions of the Lord, was bless beyond anything that he could ever imagine, despite a lifetime of hard work and struggle.

Genesis 26, "The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, 'Do not go down to Egypt, but do as I tell you. Live here as a foreigner in this land, and I will be with you and bless you.... From there Isaac moved to Beersheba where the Lord appeared to him on the night of his arrival. "I am the God of our father, Abraham, He said. Do not be afraid, for I am with you an will bless you..." Genesis 26

POINTS for consideration:

(1) Like his father Abraham, Isaac was also homeless throughout his lifetime. His life was one of ongoing struggle, hard work, and problems.

(2) The Lord continued to appear to Isaac, lead and protect him until the time of his death. He never wanted for anything. The Lord provide him with everything to get through this life.

"Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and traveled toward Haran. At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone to rest his head against and lay down to sleep. As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway. At the top of the stairway stood the Lord, and He said, "I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of your father, Isaac..." Genesis 28

POINTS for consideration:

(1) Jacob was a con man and was forced to leave his family because Esau planned to kill him. Despite this con job, the Lord personally appeared to him as noted because Jacob was in submission to Isaac and the Lord.

(2) Jacob complied with his father's instructions and traveled to Paddan-Aram to marry one of his cousins. He left his family, went to work for his uncle Laban - as a basic slave - for a period of 20 years. He was continually blessed by the Lord, yet he remained homeless throughout his lifetime.

(3) The Lord personally appeared to Isaac and he never wanted for a thing, however his life was one of continue struggle, slave-like existence, and he could never retire.

"When Joseph was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelite traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. Potiphar was captain of the guard for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. The LORD was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. Potiphar noticed this and realized that the LORD was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did...

Potiphar was furious when he heard his wife's story about how Joseph had treated her. So he took Joseph and threw him into the prison where the king's prisoners were held, and there he remained. But the LORD was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the LORD made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden." Genesis 39

"Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was quickly brought from the prison. After he shaved and changed his clothes, he went in and stood before Pharaoh. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear about a dream you can interpret it." "It is beyond my power to do this," Joseph replied. "But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease."

Joseph's suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials. So Pharaoh asked his officials, "Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?" Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours." Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt." Genesis 41

POINTS for consideration:

(1) Joseph was raised an absolute spoiled brat. He was the ultimate metro kid and despised by his brothers. In fact, his brothers hated ole Joe so much, they sold him into slavery just to get him out of their lives. Family love to the ultimate?

(2) Joseph was deeply humbled by his slavery. One minute he was the metro man, living in comfort and love, now he's a slave. Joseph learns to submit, and begins to hear the voice of the Lord, to include prophetic dreams.

(3) Joseph is falsely accused of a crime that he did not commit and is subsequently tossed into the grime, slime, and filth of an Egyptian prison for a good number of years. The Lord continues to visit with Joe and we might say that Joe actually gets saved in prison. His ability to interpret prophetic dreams comes into a very powerful format.

(4) Joseph, as prisoner-slave, is called before the very throne of the most powerful man of that "modern world". Joseph, unlike his previous endeavors, now provides a might witness for the Lord when he states: "It is beyond my power to do this," Joseph replied. "But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease."

(5) Joseph becomes radical for the Lord before and thus becomes second only to Pharaoh in the world of power. He continually provides the full and complete praise, credit and glory to the Lord throughout his lifetime.

(6) Joseph remained homeless and completely dependent upon the Lord for everything in his life.

Back in 1990 we were living in the resort area of Lake Arrowhead, CA., 100 yards from the golf course, and enjoying the "Good Life". Nice cars, an airplane, dealing with "heavy duty" clients, and building a financial empire that would lead Sandy and I to a very comfortable retirement on the beach. There was no end to our "good life".

The following year, a fellow trying to impress his girl friend, was driving his 1T truck at an estimated 50 mph, and drove into the rear of our jeep. We were stopped in traffic at the time and the destruction was massive. My daughter was taken via ambulance to the hospital and I remained on the scene until the police arrived. The driver had a number of outstanding warrants and was subsequently arrested.

Due to my injuries, my wife was forced to resign from her teaching career to take care of both myself and our daughter. Not fun. Sandy truly loved her teaching, however there were "special needs" that now required her time and energy.

My very healthy income came to a halt. "Things" were not very pleasant. We had ample insurance of course, however my trusted insurance companies went into bankruptcy and reorganized. My best laid plans for this event came to a halt and my "planned income" came to a halt.

In the midst of this mess, I received a very distinct vision from the Lord that we were to move to Spokane. Needless to say, with my incurred injuries and disabilities, I knew that this was a mistake and "I was hearing things." My reply of faith was "Lord, you must be kidding - this is a massive mistake...Spokane? Where in the world is Spokane?"

The visions, along with very distinct instructions, continued to pursue me and I challenged the Lord to prove His instructions to me. He did just that. I was given a distinct vision of a home located in Spokane that we were to move into, along with a contact person to call. I did as instructed and virtually everything came to pass as a proven reality.

At the time of our departure from Lake Arrowhead, we left our home in the hands of a real estate broker. The "sure thing buyer" never came to pass and our home went into foreclosure. We lost all of our equity, along with our credit rating, and the lender came after us for the balance due them. Not fun, however the Lord came through in another miracle and the loan was "forgiven" by the VA.

Sandy and I were now homeless. We resided in a city wherein we knew absolutely nobody. Our assets were gone and we lived day-to-day. My ongoing question of "Are you sure Lord that we are to be in Spokane?" surfaced multiple times throughout my day. We knew His instructions and never questioned His vision that had proven to be 100% correct, however "Why Lord" was our ongoing question to our dilemma.

Perhaps you can identify with this story of "loosing everything" and always asking "Why Lord"?

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Peter, Paul, John, Mark, and Matthew had to leave their homes and families in order for the Lord to use them. They remained homeless and yet they wanted for nothing. They never lost their faith in the Lord and the Lord remained committed to ALL of them throughout their lifetimes. They were ALL blessed, protected, cared for, and given peace that could only come from the Lord Himself. They wanted nothing and yet had everything. This is also true for Sandy and myself.

The Lord told us back in 1993 that a Revival was coming to Spokane and that we were to be utilized within this movement. That Revival has begun to strike and we can now see "why" the Lord has us here. It is very exciting and we are truly blessed to be called upon by Him to be His servants at this time of our lives.

Sandy will tell you that I have always believed that I was "indestructible" and lived a life of ongoing excitement. Little did I know that my physical world would come to a massive halt. If we had not relocated to Spokane, with an outstanding VA facility - literally 15 minutes from our "bank owned home", then good friends I would have been in between the proverbial "rock and a hard place". The Lord's provision in this matter has been absolutely profound. To say that we are grateful to Him for this facility would be a gross understatement.

What is the secret to a life of success with the Lord?

Understand that nothing, like absolutely nothing, in this material world wherein we live is of ANY value. It is all fleeting and guaranteed to evaporate tomorrow.

All we need to do in this world is copy what Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and the Disciples did to live a life of Eternal Success and Victory. Be flexible. Understand what He is calling us to do and then simply say "Yes Lord". Follow through with His instructions and look to Him for EVERY detail, need, and challenge in our lives.

If we are "in tune" with Him, then He will literally tell us what to do. We are under His protection, provision, and blessings. Sandy and I own nothing, however we have everything in Him. We still live month-to-month, however we know without a doubt, that He will meet every need - every month - and we are not to concern ourselves about "this stuff".

Our eternal destiny is guaranteed and our upcoming Home is "Out of this world !". Nothing else in this perishing world can top that good folks!
