A sudden loss & Crash in the valley—ETERNALLY LOST IN A MOMENT IN HISTORY.

Yesterday was tragic. I heard of a helicopter crash near a valley…

 The whole world mourned…The day was filled with an athlete whose status was legendary. This man among men who inspired so many to play a game so popular. Thousands gathered at the house he built to light candles and sing of his glory. 

Inside, a worldly “Whose-Who” gathered and spoke of the loss of this man and his daughter… How they would forever be remembered.  

His daughter, filled with hopes and dreams, just starting. Her life in a moment fleeting. 

Others on the plane who may not have his name, but still, their names will be retained. 

All the families will be grief-afflicted. The void they left will be much suffering. Eternally lost in a moment in history. 

These lives wasted, all of them. There will be mourning still today, tomorrow, and forever. Millions will remember.

Another sorrowful crash, about 7,600 miles away. Very little news and mourning. 

No candles laid at the site where those heroes lay. 30 marines and 1 sailor will forever there stay. 

Eternally lost in a moment in history. The names of those who perished will only be known from families whom they cherished.

These young people answered the call to defend. Their lives had hopes and dreams to tend. 

They didn’t hold a ball or shoot from 3 point range, no one came to mourn there, it is strange.

That we should regard one crash over another. Even though both losses should cut our hearts asunder.

Both crashes make me think. Of all the lives that have gone extinct. From the star athlete to his daughter. To those who gave everything of themselves because country mattered.

I am saddened and in mourning. For both choppers and their calamities.

Especially those who defended us for such poor salaries. Leaving homes, comforts, and their families. 

May we never forget the famous athlete and his daughter. May we pray for the families that went down near The Valley.

But, and I don’t say this lightly. May we never ever take those young men in the other death valley. Whose lives are in constant threat thousands of miles away, that is their reality…

Yesterday was tragic. I heard of a helicopter crash near a valley….I mourened for all who were lost. Eternally lost in a moment in history.

Be Right With God—Be right with Your 1st Ministry |Leadership 101

The Above is still true today as it was long ago and will be in the future…

We are to teach and lead our wives & children to Christ. This is the ultimate goal in life. 

Imagine a mob of 100 people going around your neighborhood. They have one thing in mind—to break into all the houses, including yours. 

You hear the noise in your home and the next-door neighbors. You have your wife call 911. Will you go and help your neighbor and leave your wife and kids to fend for themselves?

Or will you grab your gun, bat, knife, etc., have your wife call 911 and then go and defend your family?

I know that you’re smirking and saying, “Oh, you poor soul….ha ha ha, Oscar, of course, I’ll defend my house! What fool would not!

I say, good for you. I know you would defend your house and everyone in it. But why then, are you not having the same fervor with their spiritual walk?

“Well, uh…what do you mean?!”

Does the Bible say in Deuteronomy 6:1-9 to:

—Love and obey God with everything you have, then go and share that to your co-workers?….NO

Love and obey God with everything you have, then go and share that to the children in Manacutta, Babylonia (not a real place)?….No

—Love and obey God with everything you have, then go and share it with your neighbors?….No

Deuteronomy 6:1-9

TEACH OUR CHILDREN AND THEN community

Community is not just the church community. Our faith is at its strongest when we are discipling and sharing the gospel. Our faith has become stagnant when all we do is go into a building and fellowship together.

Eat, drink (water for me and soda or juice for anyone else), go to functions together, have home fellowships together, and go out together. Does that sound about right? Please don’t get me wrong. Fellowship is vital for our spiritual health. But so is discipling and sharing the gospel. That is what we are to be doing.

Going out into the world and making disciples of all nations…we live in a part of the country where so many nationalities are living together. We don’t have to hop on a plane to make disciples of all nations. America is the land where all countries come to live and thrive in.….All the nations are here!

All this to say, if you are having problems with your spouse, stop everything you’re doing and go and fix the problem, the church will be there when you’ve won her over.

If your spouse and kids don’t want to go to church, ask yourself:

—Are they that rebellious to God?

—Or are they tired of seeing you at church every moment of the week, instead of being at home taking care of your family duties?

If you find yourself at a church study here, a church function here, a cleaning day there, women’s gathering here, a special church function over there…and you are not in full-time ministry, stop it! Then you wonder why your spouse and kids are so antichurch. They don’t want that kind of Christianity.

Go and spend some time with your kids. Talk to them. Communicate with them like you do to people at church. Love your spouse and family, disciple them. And when they start asking to go to church with you and mean it, be glad that you left the ninety-nine and went to get your lost little sheep ( Matthew 18:12 ).

There are too many divorces and children going by the wayside because we did not stop everything we were doing at church to go and fix the problems at home (Matthew 5:24, Mark 11:25 ). God and your church building will be waiting for you after you make things right in your personal life. Then and only then will God truly bless your walk…

Happy New Year—Please Fasten Your Seatbelts & Remain Seated… |2020 & Prophetic Murmurings

2020 & Bible Prophecy

Hewbrew Writings

As I am researching scriptures for my upcoming books, I can’t help but think about the way 2020 has started. We have a President who is being impeached, but no one really knows why. Yes, he is rude and sometimes obnoxious. Yes, President Trump has “foot in mouth syndrome” most of the time. Yes, he loves the art of the deal. Yes, he acts like a typical New Yorker, or at least that’s what most people have a picture of New Yorkers. I’ve been to New York, interacted with New Yorkers, spoken to them on the streets, and they are as diverse as this country.
Now back to this nation’s critical period. This President may be all the above, I may not like what comes out of his mouth at times. But this country is better off with him there. Anyone who is unbiased about this fact can see that our country is doing much better than before.

We also have the Iranian crisis. Our appointed leaders have killed an Iranian who is hundreds of times worse than any American President or general we’ve ever had. For those that can’t see this, well, do your research. And like I said about New Yorkers, not all Iranians are evil. The fastest-growing church in the world is the Iranian Church.
Not everything is black and white, but everything is good and evil or right and wrong.
You see, we are approaching a time in history that has been written about in Prophecy. Daniel, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Paul of Tarsus, and John wrote about this. Jesus also spoke of this era.

Now to the meat of the subject. I will be writing about this critical period of time that seems to be drawing closer. I will be breaking up world events that seem to be coming out of the pages of the Bible in 3-D at a faster rate than ever before.

The following scriptures are but a sample of what I will be posting throughout this year. I will also be giving current world events to show that things are happening exactly how God told us thousands of years ago. We have the prophetic writings in the Bible, so the skeptics can’t say that Christians are manipulating things and making things up.

—Isaiah wrote about a time when the world would become evil, but people would call evil good, and right, wrong ( Isaiah 5:20 ).

—Solomon wrote about people aquitting the guilty but condemning the righteous (Proverbs 17:15 ).

—Paul wrote about the last days being incredibly dangerous because of people becoming too into themselves and hating everything that is morally correct ( 2 Timothy 3).

—Ezekiel wrote about the time that Russia, and Iran would become menaces to Israel and the rest of the world. Plunging nations against nations ( Ezekiel 38 ).

Russina Tank

—And what will happen to Gog’s (Russia’s) armies, including their allies who will march against Israel ( Ezekiel 39 )?

—Jesus spoke about the last period of time when family members would go against each other and give each other away to the governing authorities ( Matthew 24:9-14; Luke 21:10-19; Mark 13:9-13 ).

—All these things are happening before our eyes. This is nothing new for Christians. And some will ask me how I know the time is drawing near. 

—The main reason why I perceive the timeline is close is that Israel is a nation once again. After two thousand years or so, after being dispersed throughout the world, the land of Israel is once again thriving ( Ezekiel 37 ). God told the prophet this would happen in the last time period of humanity.

This could be a period of two hundred more years. Or it could be as short as tomorrow. But the prophecies will be fulfilled sooner or later. 

You see, Israel is the gauge for prophecies to come to fulfillment. Without Israel back in their homeland, none of these prophecies could start. So as this new year bursts into the present, I will ask you to stay tuned…

This information is not to scare but to inform people. If you haven’t committed to God, I suggest you make an informed decision to ask Him into your life:

The Journey is Yours—But Don't Go It Alone |Christian Basics

Hebrews 12:1

As Christians, we must look at life as a long marathon or journey through the last stop.
When I was younger, I would run eight miles up and back with just a water break in between. I often would just run to run. I loved running. It calmed me down.
Now, as I am older, I’ll tell my wife I’m going for a walk. Sometimes, I’ll call her five miles later to pick me up. This also clears my head.
We usually get up and walk early in the morning before anything or anyone is up. This is the best time to talk about the day, our goals, and about God.

—All this to say, life is a journey. Yes, you’ve heard this before. But for those who have committed their lives to Christ, that phrase has more profound meaning.
We are to run this life race and help others in their journey along the way.

Where there are people who are running the wrong way, we are supposed to stop and offer directions. We are to get those who are lost a way back on the road.
When we see someone stumbling, or slowing down, this race is at an individual level, but it doesn’t mean we don’t stop to help and encourage others who may be slowing down or about to get off the road and stop.
Our lives are not for racing as fast as we can and taking first place.

—Our job is more of medics, who are running or jogging down the road to find and help those who are hurting, or ready to call it quits.

Psalm119:99

—Our medicine is the Word of God, and our emergency contact is God Himself. We have a 911 direct line to God anytime we need it. And unlike calling the earthly 911 here, God will not tell us that we are not supposed to call for non-emergency stuff.

You see, our journey is so much better when we have a ‘cloud of witnesses‘ running alongside us, helping us, and seeing us through. Because we will also be making sure those around us get help in getting back up or even carried through this race.

—All this to say that with 2020:

—If you are one of those who are tired or weary from last year, ask God to lighten the load you’re carrying.
—If you don’t know how to ask God, it’s as easy as going somewhere quiet, looking up and asking God to help you through this tough period in your life.
—If you are struggling financially, or with a horrible addiction, or are going through a complicated relationship issue, God will help you through. He may not take away the problem that was there already.

But, I do promise that He will make it bearable for you to see it through.

If you are a Christian who is looking at 2020 without being excited about the possibilities where God can use you to help others or get in a better relationship with Him; I ask you to stop everything you are doing and go in your prayer closet. Wherever that may be, and sit still enough to hear from Him. Be patient, ask with sincerity and humility. Then see what He guides you in.

Make this year the year that grows you spiritually, mentally and physically, in that order.

When you get right with God, everything else in this journey falls into place the way God wants it. It may not be the way you thought it would, but trusting him and surrounding yourself with other believers, will see you through this year and the next, and the next after that.

Run the race or walk it with endurance, the prize will be all those around you whom you have helped along the way…
Go get 2020! It’s yours! Because God has you covered!….

If you want to get closer to God, or want to have a personal relationship with Jesus, ask Him into your life. Comit yourself to Him today. DOn;t wai!

A Time To Start Again |Happy New Year 2020!

Isaiah 40:30-31

In my previous post I asked what kind of gift God had given you, and how you would be able to use it for God.

Since 2020 is fast approaching, I want to take time out to reflect on the things that I know most of us are thinking about:

—What is it that I want to do next year?

—What have I been wanting to get done this year that I have not done yet?

—What am I supposed do with my life?

—How do I know what I am supposed to be?

—Why have I not finished school yet?

—I want to get started on this but am not sure that I can do it.

—I am afraid to allow myself to start on _____________.

—What is it that makes you want to go and conquer?

—If you had all the money in the world, what would you do to give back to humanity?

—If you are still in school and under 21, what is it that you want to do in life?

If you are under 21 and you’re not sure what you want to do in the future, it’s okay, you don’t have to figure things out yet. But, you do have to set some goals for yourselves for next year.

—Which of the questions above are you pondering?

—Which one of the above have you procrastinated on?

Whatever questions, whatever state, whatever problems you face, whatever ideas you want to start, know this—

God has your back. He will help you get through or get started or get over it.

So make 2020 a new, refreshed, reinventive, reorganized, refreshed, resolved, readjusted, recommitted, #New Year!

Here’s to a New Year where you soar above all the problems, nuisances, & past events!

Let this New Year be where you wait on God to renew you spiritually, mentally & physically! Go get 2020 by the tail & don’t let go until you arrive at your destination!

Then Soar Like Never Before!

Happy & Blessed 2020 to all of you!

Back To The Garden—T-13 Days |Christmas 2019 Series

T-13 days Until Christmas!

—In my previous post, I mentioned that Joseph, and his future bride Mary, who was pregnant by the Holy Spirit, were in a bind, trying to find a place to rest for a few days in Bethlehem.
They were forced by the Roman Emperor’s decree to go to their ancestral tribe’s town to get counted in a Roman Empire wide census.

This was one of the principal Prophecies being fulfilled by God for verification. But there were others…

Genesis Genesis 3:15

—You see, God had promised Adam and Eve, right from the beginning of their disobedience, that He would one day redeem them and reconnect His relationship with them. Redeem means to buy back, or release the debt. This redeeming was going to be fulfilled by Jesus on the cross.

2 Samuel 7:13, 2 Samuel 7:16 BSB

But here’s another amazing part:

—Jesus also had to fulfill God’s promise to Adam. One of his descendants would be born to stomp on satan’s head. Not killing him but injuring his devilish whisperings.

This devious and evil fallen being would wreak havoc on Adam and Eve’s descendants, until Jesus’ work of redemption on the cross. ( Genesis 3:15 ).

—And, Jesus had to come from the line of King David due to the promise God gave this king. That one of his descendants would be The Anointed One or Messiah of Israel( 2 Samuel 7:13; 2 Samuel 7:16 ), thus being born of Mary’s line through David ( Ruth 4:18-22; Luke 3:23-38 ), and also legally through His step dad Joseph’s line through David ( Matthew 1:1-17 ).

Satan would never recover. His weapon is the intellectual essence of this world…

—Satan would never recover. His weapon is the intellectual essence of this world. People who are influenced by this enemy and his hordes intellectually, are also those not spiritually connected in a relationship with Christ ( 1 Corinthians 15:55).
Those who “hear his voice”( John 10:27, John 10:14 ) have lessened the effect of the enemy’s whisperings. We are filled by God’s Spirit, who gives us discernment to perceive something is wrong when we come across things that may not be good for us.

All this to say, Joseph & Mary could not find a room to rest in their ancestral place. Yet, they both had family in Bethlehem, who may have helped them but were unable to host them correctly.

—This little family would end up in a place with animals who witnessed the birth of their God incarnate. It would be a perfect conclusion to God’s promise of one of Adam and Eve’s descendants, who would come and make things right again. Reconnecting humanity back to God in a sort of garden-like-state.

Here’s what I mean:

Two people—a man & woman back in connection with God and his creatures, like in the Garden.
No poor, poor Joseph & Mary, God had them where He wanted them.

—Alongside His other creation. The Almighty would also be making the animals reconnect with their Creator. The little donkeys, sheep, and goats would be a witness for their kind; since they could see who this Baby really was!
Why would God want His little creatures there?
—Like Joseph and Mary’s fore-parents when they were taking care of the Garden, more specifically, God’s animals.
God orchestrating this incredible manger scene to show his children that this God-baby-King was setting the Garden scene back to what it should have been….thus fulfilling the Genesis prophecy, and the Davidic prophecy of a Messiah coming to set things right.
—No other man in His-story has even come close to fulfilling just one specific prediction written thousands of years before ever taking place.
—Jesus fulfilled hundreds and hundreds of pre-written prophecies regarding His First Coming or First Advent.
More to come on these predictions being fulfilled…

If you don’t have a connection with Jesus, make this incrdibly wonderful time of the year be the moment you reconnect with your God, don’t wait:
