“A prudent
man
foresees
evil and
hides
himself,
but the
simple pass
on and are
punished”
(Proverbs
22:3).
Last
Wednesday
night at
2:30 a.m. in
the Ozarks
of Missouri,
I was
stirred
awake by a
loud crack
of thunder.
Looking out
from our
bedroom
window, I
could see
the rain was
moving
sideways. I
ran and
turned on
the TV to
see that our
area was
under a
tornado
warning. My
heart raced
realizing
that I had
slept
through any
warnings
that might
have been
given.
The next
morning
talking with
other local
friends we
all asked
the same
question,
“Did you
hear the
sirens?”
In the
Ozarks, in
tornado
alley, we
take this
time of
season
seriously.
Two years
ago this
May...
On May 22,
2011, I
stood
outside
getting
ready to go
to a
friend’s
house for
dinner and
said, “I
better call
my parents
and ask if
it’s okay
for the kids
to stay at
their house,
just in
case.”
The
reason? My
parents have
a storm
shelter and
the clouds
in the sky
to the west
of us looked
very
OMINOUS. It
was 4:30 in
the
afternoon
when I
dropped off
our three
kids and
headed to
our friend’s
house.
We were
all eating
and talking
when I
quickly
glanced at
the radar on
my phone and
my friend
saw my
countenance!
“Something
wrong?”
“You should
see the
radar,” I
replied. “It
looks
TERRIBLE,
and man,
it’s right
on top of
Joplin!”
My friends’
wife hurried
and turned
on the TV in
the other
room, and
all of our
phones were
buzzing with
text: “Home
depot in
Joplin got
hit, Walmart
too!” It was
very
sobering and
all of our
“watching
and praying”
eyes were
lifted-up.
We all
prayed and
then my wife
and I made a
mad dash
toward my
parent’s
house to be
near our
kids.
In the
next few
hours after
having
watched the
storm lift
and pass
over our
area, we
would learn
that one of
the
deadliest
storms in
recent
American
history had
just taken
place and
many lives
were lost
and
countless
others would
NEVER be the
same.
Many
stories came
forth from
those who
heard the
warnings and
believed
them, and
ran for
shelter, but
at the same
time there
are stories
of those who
turned a
deaf ear,
“Heard them
all my
life,” they
said and
just kept
grilling
burgers. “I
heard the
sirens, but
they go off
a lot around
here this
time of
year.”
And of
course we
also heard
the
devastating
stories of
those who
even heard
the warnings
but were not
in a “safe
place” to
weather the
storm and
lost their
lives. Some
were even
snatched out
of loved
ones arms.
It was gut
wrenching
and I pray
as you
continue to
read that
this
disaster can
be used as a
major
wake-up call
to those who
have been
blinded to
something
even
more
ominous!
You see,
many people
died, but
some were
prepared
to die. They
had taken
shelter from
an eternal
storm by
placing
their faith
in
Jesus Christ
and even
though their
carnal man
perished,
they did NOT
truly die.
For in an
instant, the
moment their
bodies were
struck by
that
devastating
F5 tornado,
because they
belong to
God, their
souls were
transported
into the
very
Presence of
Almighty
God, to an
eternal home
and destiny
which they
would now in
no way would
want to come
back from.
On the
other hand,
there are
those who
were not
prepared for
that tornado
or more
important─for
that which
comes after.
The Bible
says it is
appointed
unto all
people to
die and then
at the Great
White Throne
judgment
they will
stand before
God as
Judge.
During
this
horrendous
tornado, a
local doctor
reported
hearing
people,
“wail and
scream”
inside the
twister and
how it
haunted him.
But what is
even more
daunting is
that there
are those
who are even
now wailing
and
screaming
from a storm
that will
NEVER STOP
because
after being
propelled
through that
tornado, out
of a Home
Depot or
Walmart,
they arrived
in hell.
After the
1000-year
Millennium
they will
stand in
God’s
courtroom,
stand before
Him because
they refused
to believe
in Him and
refused to
take shelter
in Him. They
will hear a
terrible
decree,
“Depart from
Me I know
You Not.”
Those who
rejected the
free gift of
salvation
offered
through
Jesus Christ
are now in
HELL with NO
HOPE, no
chance to
escape. They
will stand
before the
Lord at the
Great White
Throne
judgment and
sentenced to
an eternity
in the lake
of fire.
But if you
are reading
this you
still have
hope.
Yet,
here is the
deal: There
is a storm
brewing of
biblical
proportions
and it’s
even at the
door.
You have
to have eyes
to see and
you have to
have ears to
hear.
The
radar is
screaming
for you to:
PLEASE TAKE
SHELTER.
In God’s
Word He
foretold of
a time such
as this, and
said when
you see
certain
things, to
“take
shelter!”
What are
those
certain
things? Here
are just a
few:
1. Israel is
being
pressured on
every side
to “divide
their land.”
2. When love
waxes cold,
when the
love of
pleasure is
greater than
love for
God.
3. When
children are
rebellious
to parents.
4.When
global
economies
shake, when
knowledge
increases
and people
travel
rapidly
“to
and fro.”
For
thousands of
years,
mankind
traveled by
horse but in
the last
century
we’ve seen
travel go to
where you
can ship
anything
worldwide in
three days
(Federal
Express).
You can talk
instantaneously
to others
anywhere via
text,
instant
messenger,
and email.
Just as
Daniel
forewarned:
When you see
these
things, it’s
like an
ominous
storm
warning
shouting
something
very
terrifying:
“The Day of
the Lord is
at hand.”
“Look!
The Lord’s
anger bursts
out like a
storm, a
whirlwind
that swirls
down on the
heads of the
wicked. The
anger of the
Lord will
not diminish
until it has
finished all
he has
planned. In
the days to
come you
will
understand
all this
very
clearly”
(Jeremiah
23:19-20).
We are
approaching
a time of
God’s
undeniable
wrath being
poured out
upon this
place we’ve
called home
and He in
mercy is
warning
all who will
listen.
Look with
open eyes
and pay
attention.
Governments
are
advocating
the killing
of babies
that survive
abortion,
after
the fact!
Now that is
criminal
enough in
light of the
fact that it
pulls our
heartstrings
with, “That
is a baby!”
But also
remember,
these lives
are God’s
handiwork
which is
being
destroyed─murdered.
He authored
those lives.
To kill
those babies
is to point
your finger
in God’s
chest
saying, “Not
your will
God, but
ours be
done.”
The current
Gosnell
abortion
trial is a
mockery to a
Holy God of
how
ridiculously
insensitive
the world
has become
to the
slaughter of
life. Ray
Comfort’s
180Movie
(linked
below)
should be
shown in
every
assembly in
this nation,
and on that
issue alone
there should
be a clarion
call to
prayer and
intercession
for the
deepest of
repentance.
I suggest
for everyone
to read the
book of
Habakkuk and
realize God
is no
respecter of
persons and
the very
thing He
allowed to
happen to
Israel is
playing out
right before
our eyes─as
evil and
wicked
people are
reaping a
perilous
harvest. I
tremble in
what I’m
seeing take
place and
how rapidly
it’s all
happening.
Do you not
pay
attention to
those who
are planning
YOUR VERY
OWN
DESTRUCTION?
The
Jihadists─the
Muslim
Brotherhood,
are
screaming,
“Americans
MUST die.”
Even now
these
enemies are
working
around the
clock to see
that this is
accomplished
through
their
planning of
tremendous
violence,
and
demanding
Sharia law
(slavery).
We have
entire
nations to
reference
for what
looks like
the ravages
of radical
Islamists,
demanding
submission
as they
train little
kids to
strap bombs
to them
selves and
walk into
crowds and
blow
themselves
up. Even now
they are
planning
massive
attacks on
the place we
have called
home (USA).
They do this
believing
they are
under a
“divine”
mandate to
usher in
their
messiah by
way of
“chaos.”
These
radicals
have erected
training
facilities
all over the
United
States and
yet most
people are
sleeping
right
through it:
“Eating,
drinking and
being
merry,” NOT
paying
attention to
the fact
that
governments
are enabling
this
ascension by
providing
billions of
dollars,
F16s and
high-powered
weapons with
no
background
checks
required.
Handing out
visas and
free
entrance
into this
country via
special
exemptions.
In relation
to a stormy
night, your
TV should be
blaring with
a: BREAKING
ALERT.
“As it was
in the days
of Noah” and
“as it was
in the days
of Lot so
shall it
be.”
“Gay
Christians?”
An NBA
player comes
out of the
“closet” and
is esteemed
as a public
hero and
interviewed.
“What was
the response
to the ESPN
analyst who
took a
“homophobic”
stance that
you can’t be
gay and also
say that you
are a
“Christian?
The analyst
was
ridiculed!
Presidents
and
celebrities
jumped on
the
bandwagon,
gloating how
“times have
evolved”
into an age
of tolerance
and
acceptance.
The kicker
of these
so-called
“gay
Christians”
is that they
are the only
group
claiming to
follow
Christ and
continue to
hang onto
their sin.
There is no
other group
who claims
proudly to
be an
adulterous
Christian, a
fornicating
Christian, a
lying
Christian, a
gambling
Christian,
or a
murdering
Christian.
They all
would add
the word
“repentant;”
a
“repentant”
adulterer, a
“repentant”
fornicator,
etc.
Every true
born-again
believer
does wrestle
with their
carnal
sin-nature
having to
take up
their own
cross dying
daily to
self, but
would never
subscribe to
hanging onto
sin─which
caused Jesus
to die on
the cross.
If the Holy
Spirit is
living in a
person, that
person will
be at war
with the sin
nature. The
Spirit of
God would be
pruning,
rooting out
and tearing
down
everything
exalting
itself
against the
knowledge of
God.
Christian
means to be
(“Christ
like”).
To say being
a gay is
“Christ
like” is
tragically
trendy and
becoming
politically
correct, BUT
the Bible is
the only
measure and
it still
says that
it’s an
abomination
(perversion)
to the very
purpose for
which man
was created.
We ALL were
born wrong
the first
time, we all
have a sin
nature and
that is why
Jesus said
we must be
“born
again!”
Yet, godless
lawlessness
is
screaming:
“TURN OFF
THE LIGHT!”
Alarmingly,
the Pentagon
has issued a
warning that
any one
sharing the
gospel in
military
service
could face
court
martial.
Sadly, many
churches
don’t need
to be, they
have taken
the gospel
out all by
themselves,
choosing to
appease
mankind with
soothsaying
messages of
peace and
safety at a
time when
there will
be no peace
and there
will be no
safety apart
from the
gospel.
There is a
STORM-WARNING,
but we’re
having a
picnic
anyway?
So many
pulpits have
tickling
ears at a
time when
pastors
should be in
the deepest
travail
crying out
for people
to, “Make
ready!”
To me it
would be
like someone
watching the
news and
hearing that
an F5
Tornado or
hurricane,
volcano or
earthquake
is getting
ready to
happen but
instead of
crying out
they are
planning a
picnic.
Seriously,
get a
picture of
that: You
are sitting
in your
house, The
TV blares a
siren, “A
SEVERE
WEATHER
REPORT.” A
tornado
warning has
been spotted
on the
ground and
it’s headed
right toward
your town,
but at the
same time
you’re
getting a
call from a
local pastor
or church
member
talking
about having
a picnic as
if all is
well when
you know its
not.
The prophet
Jeremiah
showed us
that there
is a
dividing
line drawn
-- that God
becomes very
angry with
those who
claim to
speak for
Him and yet
aren’t
sharing what
He would be
saying!
“Thus says
the Lord of
hosts: Do
not listen
to the words
of the
prophets who
prophesy to
you. They
make you
worthless;
they speak a
vision of
their own
heart, not
from the
mouth of the
Lord. They
continually
say to those
who despise
Me, ‘The
Lord has
said, “You
shall have
peace”; and
to everyone
who walks
according to
the dictates
of his own
heart, they
say, “No
evil shall
come upon
you.”
(Jeremiah
23:16-17)
That is
happening
all over
this planet.
And it’s
being done
“in Jesus’
Name.”
Pulpits are
using the
spotlight
given them
NOT to point
to the only
hope for
such a
stormy time
but rather
using Jesus’
Name to
spotlight
themselves
to make
money and
build
buildings
and
ministries
that are
going to be
consumed by
fire?
I’m
convinced
there would
be a
tremendous
harvest in
churches if
pastors
would repent
and start
preaching
the true
gospel to
their
“seeker
friendly”
attendees
who’ve been
falsely led
through a,
“repeat
after me”
mantra
instead of
being told
they need to
“repent or
perish.” But
sadly they
plagiarize
from the
latest
“trendy best
seller” to
fleece their
way up the
blasphemous
chain of
“churchianity,”
instead of
getting on
their faces
before a
Holy God and
saying,
“What do you
want to say
today?” That
should be a
warning to
us all, to
be about our
Father’s
business.
Not to earn
salvation
but because
of what
Jesus
already
accomplished
on our
behalf. To
be a true
follower of
Jesus Christ
in this
stormy hour
is growing
in cost.
Hatred is
boiling. We
(true
Christians)
are becoming
the scourge
of the
earth. You
can plan for
your best
life now if
you want to,
but based on
God’s holy
Word, I read
that this
planet is
way more
like the
Titanic and
we are
commissioned
to get
people to
life boats,
not build
a better
world but
help rescue
those who
are His. I
have said
this before
but I will
say it
again. “As
it was in
the days of
Noah.” Noah
did NOT
change his
world, he
didn’t win
his culture
and he
didn’t try
to be
culturally
relevant. He
just
faithfully
believed God
and built an
ark for the
saving of
souls.
Please hear
the heart of
this
message. It
is not to
condemn, but
to stir an
urgency to
sound the
alarm to
your friends
and family
while there
is still
time.
The storm
clouds are
ominous, I
tell you.
Are you
prepared?
Have you
taken
shelter?
Hate has
replaced
love. The
love of self
has replaced
God.
“Whatever
makes you
feel good,
just do it.”
Run up
credit
cards, who
cares that
the debtor
is enslaved
to the
lender? Even
now our
nation in
America is
selling its
individual
citizens
into debt
slavery by
destroying
our national
sovereignty
through
spending not
billions but
trillions --
and yet the
masses of
kool-aid
drinkers are
trusting
that these
blind
“leaders”
(guides)
know where
they are
going?
We have a president who has
told Israel
to give up
land for
peace,
referring to
the 1967
borders as
the starting
point of
negotiations
striving for
a “two state
solution.”
The New pope
agrees and
he too is
making a
push for
PEACE. He is
asking for
all faiths
to unite so
we can all
COEXIST.
Yet, war is
growing more
and more
imminent in
the Middle
East. Iran
is
approaching
the “red
line” and
Syria has
begun using
chemical
weapons.
This world
is growing
darker and
darker.
PLEASE TAKE
SHELTER!
In
Joplin, the
warnings
went out and
many heard
and
believed.
They ran and
hid in a
safe place.
That is what
I’m about to
ask you to
do.
You see, you
can scoff at
what I’m
saying and
say: “I’ve
heard this
all my
life,” and
as one lady
testified in
Joplin,
“I’ve heard
tornado
warnings all
my life.”
They
mocked Noah.
Thousands of
people
mocked Noah
to their
very end,
and you can
too! You can
mock the
warnings of
this time.
You can say,
“Ah, the
government
will ‘fix
it’ or
‘we’ve seen
this
before.’”
OR you can
take a
serious and
sober look
at all the
many things
that have
taken place
in recent
days, months
and years
and say,
“Maybe I
need to
wake-up” to
what is
happening
and TAKE
SHELTER.
Did you
know what a
Tsunami was
seven, eight
or even ten
years ago,
before the
Asian
Pacific
Tsunami in
which over
250,000
people died?
And YET that
storm will
pale in
comparison
to a time
that the
Bible says,
“Unless God
shortens the
days no
flesh will
survive.”
What must you do to be safe
from the
wrath to
come? What
is the wrath
to come?
When I turn on my TV and a
storm
warning has
been issued,
there will
be a
scrolling
message that
tells me
what to
expect:
Strong winds
in excess of
100 mph,
golf ball
sized hail,
dangerous
lightning.
What can you
expect? What
should be
scrolling at
the bottom
of your
monitorright
now?
1. Ninety
to, one
hundred
pound,
hailstones
(Revelation
16:16-20).
2. A great
earthquake,
leaving NO
ISLANDS on
earth also,
taking down
every
mountain
on earth.
3. 1/3 of
the earth is
burned up,
1/3 of
trees, and
all the
grass
(Revelation
8:7).
4. 1/3 of
the sea is
turned into
blood
(Revelation
8:8-9).
5. The Abyss
(bottomless
pit) opens
and
locust-like
scorpion
creatures
arise
(Revelation
9:2-3).
6. Evil
angels
released to
kill 1/3 of
mankind
(Revelation
9).
7.
Painful
sores break
out on
people that
have taken
the Mark of
the Beast
(Revelation
16).
8. The sun
will scorch
people with
fire
(Revelation
16).
And even
worse: That
which will
never end:
Lost souls
being cast
into a lake
of fire.
Stop and think.
Please!
Knowing the
terror of
the Lord, I
beg.
Right now if
a tornado
warning was
sounding and
you
“believed
it” you
would run to
shelter.
How can we
do that in
relation to
the choice
we must make
in this
life:
“Repent or
Perish?”
Get on your
knees and
confess your
faith in the
death,
burial and
resurrection
of Jesus
Christ.
Believe
that He is
your only
hope, that
He is your
Lord and
Savior and
confess that
publicly,
following
Him. He is
your storm
shelter and
He will be
your refuge.
If you
do that, I
have great
news:
You will NOT
die but you
will have
everlasting
life.
Will you
hurry up and
“Take
Shelter?” Do
you
hear the
sirens?
