God is not silent; He is not looking the other way!

Much too often we feel that God is not listening, or He is not looking at what is taking place in our culture? But, the opposite is true. The Bible says God used to look the other way but after Christ’s death on the cross, God no longer gives man the option to go unnoticed nor live without consequences for his behavior.

God is indeed speaking often; I see Him working in the lives of His people and the nations of this world. In fact, I am indeed afraid that we will not be ready for what is next (i.e., what will come upon us) for people who are not considering the consequences of their decisions and actions. God reminded me today of the fourth horse (death) and his role upon this earth. Revelation chapter 6 verses 7-8 (KJV): “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And, I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

So much has taken place in America this past year. God has allowed a new administration to take the lead in this nation. Why, because it is time for judgment. God has allowed prophetic words to fail, (Trump would not win a second term in office), why, God’s judgment. The fear of the Covid-19 virus destroyed people’s livelihood and because of poor decisions on the part of politicians and the CDC the virus killed individuals who should have never died; why, God’s judgment. (Nevertheless, judgment does not come without mercy.)

Winds from heaven are now blowing over this land, why, God’s judgment. I hear, these words from heaven, “Time is short; Christ is at hand;” why, God’s judgment. Creation (mother nature if you wish) is in turmoil; why, God’s judgment. And now, great trouble in Israel; why, God’s judgment. God is telling each one of us, “Get ready!”

Let me state again what I have been saying for the past couple of years. “California will not make it, nor will it recover from the hand of God’s judgment because it has promoted, enticed, and deceived this nation by its sin”. Furthermore, Washington DC will also not exist—I believe it will be gone within 40 years. Everything people have sought to solve their problems and to give them prosperity will soon be taken away. The four horsemen will accomplish God’s will, punishment, and purpose to place everything under Christ’s feet will come to pass sooner than you think.

There is only one thing to do! We must find repentance and stand upon the seashore of God’s presence in order to feel the waves of heaven washing over us.

The next few articles I will be writing will help you (all of us) to do just that—to find shelter in the time of Christ’s wrath. The whole world will fear the wrath Jesus Christ! It is here and it is now!

A Thoughtful Truth for the Week

To believe in Jesus has little to do with loving Him.

Jesus said even the devil believes in Jesus, but it is those “who keep my commandments” that love Me. It is time to work more on loving Jesus instead of solely trusting in your ‘believing in Him’. Our churches are too full of those who say they believe, but their heart and actions are far from the truth of Jesus Christ. Let’s love Jesus more and believe less—if there is such an option.

If you are looking to love Jesus more since you believe in Him, try supporting the educational program “Foundations of Freedom”. It is something you can do to demonstrate your love for Jesus and thereby become proactive by bringing Jesus into local schools, community groups, and civic organizations.

This program is Holy Spirit inspired, tested, and given ‘a stamp of approval’ by many litigation and legal organizations in America, and most importantly, it is free for all participants. All you must do is ‘get the Word out’ and support the implementation of this program in schools. So, in the 2021-22 school year let’s have this option for kids.

You can read about the program on the website address, www.foundationsoffreedom.org. So do something for Jesus and begin to impact America’s schools by sharing what God has done for America from its conception. It is time for the “Foundations of Freedom” to sweep through our schools and once again have ‘the Truth’ spoken in our school classrooms through the lives of Christian students.

A Message from Jesus Culture in California

“Having Joy and Expressing Gratitude”

Do you ever feel like your joy is under attack?

What do we do when we feel like our hope is struggling for survival? We must come together and acknowledge when things don’t feel okay.

Denial is not Jesus’ will for our lives.

Instead, let’s (1) Practice Gratitude:

Check out this verse- Romans 15:13, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”

When we take steps towards daily gratitude, we invite the God of hope to fill us with peace.

Write down 3 positive things that happened this week and thank Him.

(2) Invite Community In.

This is really simple and powerful…

After we remember and celebrate what God is doing, reach out to someone that knows you.

It’s not rare for our team members to call each other and simply ask, “Can you remind me of who I am?”

Call or text someone close to you. Be honest with them- how are you feeling? What do you need? What can they do for you?

We get it, life is absolutely hard sometimes.

One thing we know to be true is that He will always pull beauty from the ashes.

There is joy set before us. Hang in there. He’s not done. You got this!

From Jesus Culture/Sacramento, CA (4/27/21)

A Personal Testimony

My heart and spirit was wounded by what has recently taken place in America, and then add to it what God has shown me what will take place shortly. America is in such a difficult place with just one option being offered by God, His Son Jesus will come back.

As my heart mourns, I feel the ‘waves of heaven’ moving over my life and across America. Waves of repentance and hope; waves of rejoicing and the wrath of God. In a few short years change initiated by God will overtake every American, and therefore, I fear for each and every life. Will the Church be ready? Will America accept what the will of God is for our nation? God wants me to offer hope and truth in my writings to encourage Christians and bring the ‘fear of God’ into our decision-making processes.

I have been crying a lot—for hours, days, and weeks. Crying out to God for humility, sanctification, purity, and the increase of love in my life. God keeps telling me to love not this world or things in this world but to love Him with my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Each one of these aspects of my body is different and all require different responses. I cannot say because I love God with my heart that I love Him with my mind or soul or strength. I must give all four aspects of my body to Christ and love Him individually with each aspect of who I am—heart, mind, soul, and strength. God wants all of me to love Him and to love nothing else.

Why, because what will shortly take place in my state, California; my nation, USA; and the world. The wrath of God’s Son will be great and complete, and no one will escape His judgment. Therefore, I am crying, and this is how the waves of heaven have been affecting my life. There is no escape for me; He has captured me through His love!

We must allow God to do whatever He desires in our lives and to bring about “Jesus in us, the hope of glory” so God receives all the glory, honor, and praise due to His great name.

A Thoughtful Truth for the Week

People who love Jesus do not make excuses!

Instead, they love God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, therefore they do not make excuses for their behavior. Rather, they have learned to repent and forgive, hunger after righteousness in order to do good deeds, and exercise the judgment of God by doing actions of justice and confronting all that is from Satan.

Is Jesus Still Your Friend?

(Or Has He Become Your Enemy?)

It is sad to think that we lose friendships over time. Things change; we change and before we realize it, our closest friends are no longer as close as they use to be. In fact, too many of our once close friends become a distant memory instead of that close loving and dependable friend. The same happens with our relationship with God.

Too many of us allow our friendship with Jesus to fade. Too often in so many of us, our relationship with Jesus is not as strong as it was just a few years ago. The Bible warns us of such a ‘spiritual trend’ that will take place in the Body of Christ and our religious institutions in the last days. It is a trend that has direr effects for everyone that is a Christian and every minister in the Body of Christ.

I love Jesus; He means everything to me, but it is His friendship that I enjoy the most. I count on His friendship, and it is within this friendship that I find love, peace, hope, and purpose. When Jesus seems far away, it is as if a divide has come between Him and me; I feel lost and out of place. I try running to him and finding how I can become close to Him once again.

Our personal relationships are just as important, we must work on our friendships in order to keep those relationships working, vibrant, healthy with the quality of spontaneity. Want friends, one must be friendly. Whenever I visit with a friend I have not seen lately, we start off our conversation where we left it the last time we met. True friends have empathy for each other, they share their feelings and hopes and have learned to forgive, offer redemption to each other while learning to love and depending on that loving friendship.

Jesus stated during His crucifixion that He was not alone (His Father was with Him) even though everyone had forsaken Him during His time of persecution and death. I wonder how many times our friends left us when things got ruff and turned for the worse. A true friend sticks closer than a brother, the Bible says. Do you have any friends like that? Is Jesus this kind of friend?

We are in the last days, and what is coming scares me at times. I am not worried about the circumstances that will soon be upon us, but it is my relationship with Jesus that I am most concerned about. If I feel His love and the touch of His hand, then I know all is OK because it is His love that makes all things good. I know He is my friend!

Can Jesus become my enemy, you bet He can! Just read the Book of Revelation, when He warns the seven Churches to get themselves in line with His commands or He will remove their candlestick, blot their names out of the Book of Life, and say to them, “I never knew you.” That will be a sad day—when Jesus becomes your enemy.

Let’s all be a friend to the One who is our true friend. Let’s keep on working on our friendship with Jesus, not just depending on our trust or love or our giving to Him. We must be His friend and not forsake Him when He comes to judge this world with His wrath. If you or I lose our friendship with Jesus, we must do whatever it takes to establish our friendship with Him. If we do this, we will hear Him say, “ Hi there friend, where have you been? I have missed you; let’s take a walk together.”

A timely historical note: Today marks a very important day for Jews and Christians alike. It is Yom HaShoah, Israel’s Holocaust remembrance day, which now marks the 76th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz…a day which must never be forgotten! Today be a friend to Jews; they are Jesus’s kids too.

Did You Feel Waves From Heaven?

(An Easter Sunday Message)

Did you attend an Easter Sunday service today? Did you go to church and return home but found yourself unchanged? You didn’t feel the overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit nor did you find repentance that created a ‘new-you’—you are still the same person you have always been. It is time to feel the waves from heaven; it is time to find a body of worshippers that “worship the Father in Spirit and truth”, as Jesus commanded His disciples.

You cannot worship God without the help of the Holy Spirit, and you must go through Jesus Christ to do that. It is ‘Jesus in us’ that causes us to worship God and it is the Holy Spirit that cleanses us, that inner person, so we can worship God free from sin, being full of Jesus’s righteousness, and exercising the Judgment of God on all workers of darkness.

Waves of heaven are moving across America—they started in January! If you are looking to your denomination or local church to bring you closer to God but find no remedy—you need to begin looking elsewhere! The problem is you are looking to people not to Jesus to bring the promises of God into your life. Let me offer you a lesson in the wisdom of God. Quite being in love with this world or the things in this world and end your love for the pleasure of your sin. It is time to find your purpose in living by giving all your love to Jesus alone. Here are some practical steps all of us must do and an essential truth about heavenly waves. Understand these truths first and then respond to God’s heavenly waves.

Confirm these truths in your mind and heart. First, you are living in the ‘last days’ as spoken by the early church Apostles and New Testament books. Second, the ant-Christ is presently working throughout the earth as stated by the Apostle John in his Epistles/writings and especially The Book of Revelation. Third, realize you are in a spiritual battle and do not look for a political solution or constitutional laws to give you the freedom that only Jesus Christ offers. Four, you should be reading a small portion/a few verses of these three Bible books each day: Psalms, Proverbs, and Revelation. Five, fall in love with Jesus once again (the songs you sing need to be about Jesus and not you, your church, or some past historical event)!

The waves of heaven have been released over America, but do not think just because you believe in Jesus Christ that these waves will impact your life. My question to you is, Where are you standing, and are you facing the direction the waves are coming from?

A lesson in physics. Where you are standing on a beach is how and to what impact a wave will touch you. Every wave is different, some come in slowly and others with a force that will knock you down. So, it is with ‘waves from heaven’. There will be waves so quiet and gentle that the water/wave from heaven will move only over your feet or with a gently soothing action all over you. Then there will be other times when you will hear the wave before you see it and it will come with such force that you will run in order for the wave not to knock you down and consume you. Waves from heaven come in all sizes and shapes for all of God’s purposes. No two waves are the same and each wave will impact each person differently just as where one would be standing on a beach as a wave crashes to the shoreline. This is what is happening throughout America now. It will continue—it will not go away even with all the judgment and wrath that Jesus is about to bring upon this nation.

When this Jesus shows up (the of yesterday, today, and forever), He brings with Him the Holy Spirit and the waves of heaven. Repentance will flow, like you and I have never experienced before, and judgment will come crashing down upon us that will shake and change all that we now know. Now is the time for the Fear of the Lord (whatever God does it is always right and just) and now is the time for deep crying with repentance.

Yes, my spirit and my mouth say, “Come, Lord Jesus, come!”

Calling all Peters, “What Are You Afraid Of?”

Every person has some sort of fear dictating their life’s decisions. Each person makes decisions according to what they are afraid of. If you would take a personal survey of your decision-making process and what motivates you, you would find that fear in some form and often in multiple cases is the driving force to what you do.

The Bible has lots to say about fear. God says often, “Fear not” and has given us the Scripture, “Love casts out all fear.” I wish we would spend more time working on having less fear instead of trying to have more faith. (The truth of the matter is if we would keep ourselves in the love of God [by praying more in the Spirit] we would be able to respond to what God wants rather than trying to figure out how to avoid fear.)

Much too often we place our minds and hearts ‘in fear’ before we pray and praise God. We ask ourselves, “Will God hear my prayer this time?” or “Does God truly love me and will respond to my worship of Him?” We worry and fear in so many of our actions and thoughts. The natural growth of fear and worry in our relationship with God comes from either ‘listening to Satan’s lies’ and/or our choices in ‘tempting God’.

The disciple, Peter, had to face what he feared—public opinion, Jewish leadership, and Roman Law. He denied the one person who loved him more than he loved himself yet could not follow Christ even though he tried—his fear kept him in bondage to the world and without the freedom that Jesus offered him.

The day before Easter Sunday I am challenging all you Peters. What are you afraid of? Public opinion, character assignation by the media, loss of money or lawsuits, family members, your neighbor’s respect, your job, or even your marriage—do any of these losses touch fear in your life?

Jesus died without friends, hated by loyal Jewish followers, looked down upon by Roman sympathizers, rejected by the very people He healed and loved, found Himself alone in death while knowing that the place He would be going, before His Father raises Him into heaven, would be hell itself. JESUS WAS NOT AFRAID!

I am calling on all Peters to repent, reject the fear Satan wants you to feel, and be reborn this Easter Sunday. It is time all of us must say, as Jesus said before His crucifixion, “Not my will but your will (Father) be done” and reject the very fear Satan offers us by accepting and living in the love of the Father.
