The tragedy happened in Indonesia,Samoa,Philippines and even in Sicily..all this was really a nightmare.Sometimes we asked ourselves...why all this things happened? Though we knew we are in the Lord,....Yes why?Our life was full of mysteries...
i asked the Lord why?
And the Lord my God answered."Sometimes I need to let it happen for you to realize what Jesus did in the cross,the suffering He encountered...the struggle between the good and the bad."
Wake up! Are we still blinded?Don't we think that this must be the time of looking back where we came?Let's open our mind...our heart...don't we think that this is the time to bring back our consciousness to our Almighty?
God is the creator of all things in this earth and He has also the power to retract all what He had given.
Isaiah 66:1-2 THUS SAYS the Lord: Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house would you build for Me? And what kind can be My resting-place?
For all these things My hand has made, and so all these things have come into being [by and for Me], says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands.
For those of us who believe and seek God, this should come as no surprise! If it is a surprise to you, then I would suggest checking out the word of God, and starting at Mark 13:3-8 and 2 Timothy 3: 1-5
"Signs of the Close of the Age"
And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.--- Mark 13:3-8
“Difficult Times Will Come”
"But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."--- 2 Timothy 3: 1-5
Now is the time to forgive...to love....and to trust God with all our heart and soul.Because God is love. John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
'Believes in Him' ...who is this Him?None other than Jesus Christ our Lord of Lords..and God promised us eternal life and that is in heaven.Do we all want to be with the Lord? then accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior.Because no one could ever come to the Father except through Him. John 3:17-18
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only son.
So we have to live in the truth so that the light will comes to us.And the light is our Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:19-21
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
So as children of God--- Be Prepared!as written in Mark 13:13b...But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Ephesians 6: 10-13
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm."
Prayer:
God the Father in heaven...we praise your name on high.We thank you oh Lord our God for all the blessings that we have... through your graces and mercy.
Cleans our heart and mind and see the righteousness that is on You oh Lord.
Once again...in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we are here begging for your goodness...
let your graces and mercy overflow daily among your children.Give us the wisdom to know you more ...to feel your infinite love..and to trust in You.
All this in Jesus Christ name we pray...
Amen.

"Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." This is exactly applying to me now. I don't like to sin, but I do. I don't want to know sins unknown to me but exist in memore for if I recognize them, I have to fight with them in addition to sins I've already reazlized. The more I know sin, the longer have to spend time repenting. Repentance sometimes bring me much pain. When I don't know about sin, I can do whateve my desire wants, but each time I was revealed a sin, I had to avoide the sin and now many sins I have to avoid and it is so tough and I often was defeated by the sins. But unless I realize what sin is, I can never fully understand God's forgiveness. With repentance, we have to thank for being revealed new sin.
I had this strange dream? In it I could not tell if it was day time or night time, The moon was bright I think it was night time, the moon appear to the right, but strangely the sun appered to the far left, yet am sure it was ment to be night time, at the same time I could hear this strange sound like a sonic boom sound repeating about every couple of minutes. not a quick or fast boom but long?
Any Thoughts?
Praise the Lord for sharing this with me. I am an Indonesian and many suffered and died. It is the signs alright. Just keep on praying for each other, and hold tight together Jesus' hand. God bless you abundantly always in evrything and protects you all. Praise the Lord in everything. Haleluja!!! Christy Gabriel B

PRAISE GOD FOR HIS GREATNESS, THESE ARE GREAT AWAKENINGS FOR US TO LOOK UP BUT NOT WONDER OR QUERY FOR THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS, OUR TIME IS DRAWING NIGH AND EVERY BELIEVER NEEDS TO KNOW WHERE THEY STAND AND WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW. GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS.
I have not long been a Christian since April this year. I know Jesus is real and is there for every body if they open there hearts, I know Jesus is there for me, for as I turn towards God, the Devil tryed to persade me not to go.
So I knew that God really does exsist.
I give myself freely to Jesus, He done things for me that would not think would be possible.
All the things you say about the days are true Kathleen. this I do feel Strongle about perhape even during my Life Time?
Am not sure were I read it, But towards the end the Devil will try harder to turn brother against brother, To turn Chrstians away from God, And creat havoc in the world.
This he will do because he knows whats going to happen, his days are numbered.
So all the sciptures that tell you to be on your guard, is near the end days.
I Pray for myself and every one else to stay on the right path. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I pray most days read the Bible almost every Day.
Why tragedy happened in Indonesia,Samoa,Philippines and even in Sicily and around the world? But these are Signs of the Close of the Age and Sin of Present Age...........

Man have to know and think about living God ,,,God is the creator of all things in this earth and He has also the power to do all what He think. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. But Today's world, religion, modern man and his philosephy rejecting and refusing this Savior of the world. 'Believes in Him' ...who is this Him?None other than Jesus Christ our Lord of Lords..and God promised us eternal life and that is in heaven.Do we all want to be with the Lord? then accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior.Because no one could ever come to the Father except through Him.
