The Day the Grid Stands Still ~ Bible Prophecy Today

HE HEARD ME

Psalm 18:1-6 (New Living Translation)

 ¹ I love you, Lord;
      you are my strength.
 ² The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
      my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
   He is my shield, the power that saves me,
      and my place of safety.
 ³ I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
      and he saved me from my enemies.  ⁴ The ropes of death entangled me;
      floods of destruction swept over me.
 ⁵ The grave wrapped its ropes around me;
      death laid a trap in my path.
 ⁶ But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;
      yes, I prayed to my God for help.
   He heard me from his sanctuary;
      my cry to him reached his ears.

Psalm 18 is one of my favorite Psalms. When you are going through tough times in your life the Psalms can give you insight as to how GOD will help you if you let HIM. HE will come to your rescue and save you and protect you from the enemy of your soul. Again...HE has done that for me!

When we are caught in the middle of that war zone, with the devil and his agents, we need to remember who our "Rock" is...I need to remember! Most importantly to me...HE is my SAVIOR!! Three years ago HE saved me from a life that I wanted out of. HE protected me from the devil and the plans that he had for me. Why? Because GOD has HIS own plans for my life. Jeremiah 29:11 says...

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I need to hold onto that verse and repeat it to myself daily. Let GOD make it real to me. Any of you reading this that find yourself feeling hopeless at times also need to quote this verse to yourself...frequently. The LORD will protect us from our worst enemy...satan! He is the one that entangles us with death ropes and tries to destroy us. I like the way The Message says it...

^4-5 The hangman's noose was tight at my throat;
      devil waters rushed over me.
   Hell's ropes cinched me tight;
      death traps barred every exit.

Have you ever felt like that? I can tell you that without a doubt I know that feeling! For a few weeks now it was as if something was trying to squeeze the life out of me. I was full of fear and was pretty sure that if JESUS were to come back I wouldn't be going. I was at the point where all I could say to GOD the last few days was...GOD, Please!! help me!! Don't come back and leave me here!  I would repeat...GOD, Please!!  help me! over and over. Why was I so fearful? Because I let the devil get into my head. It doesn't matter why or what happened, the point is...I did. But now...

PRAISE GOD!!!  Just like verse six says...I cried out to GOD and HE heard me, My cry reached HIS ears and HE gave me an escape route out of the dark place I was allowing myself to go. Further on in verses 16-19 it says...

 ¹⁶ He reached down from heaven and rescued me;
      he drew me out of deep waters.
 ¹⁷ He rescued me from my powerful enemies,
      from those who hated me and were too strong for me.
 ¹⁸ They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress,
      but the Lord supported me.
 ¹⁹ He led me to a place of safety;
      he rescued me because he delights in me.

I am so grateful to The LORD for reaching down and rescuing me once again! HE has done that for me so many times. If you need HIM to do that for you just ask HIM. That is what HE wants us to do...talk to HIM! If you have read much of this blog you know that at times I lose my way. Somehow though GOD always finds a way to get through to me. Sometimes it's just by talking to HIM and reading HIS WORD. Sometimes it's through something I read in a book or hear from someone else. Sometimes it's through me having to talk it out with a Christian friend. The point of all this is...whatever it is that you need to do to get back in touch with GOD...do it. FIND your way back. Or, find GOD for the first time. Which ever it might be...GOD is waiting to hear from you!!!

WAR ZONE

Today, while sitting outside, a couple of military jets called "Warthogs" flew over. They were so high you could hardly see them but you knew they were there. The roar was unmistakable. Imagine what it must be like when you live somewhere that is in or near a combat zone. The noise of the jets alone would be deafening at times. You would probably really be thankful for any quiet time you might get. Even pray for the day that life would return to normal. I can't even imagine what it would be like. But I do know what it's like to live in a war zone of good and evil...GOD and satan. Or in this case...me and the devil...

As soon as I heard the noise today, and saw what they were, it flashed in my mind of how we live in a war zone everyday. As Christians satan attacks us all the time. His usual style of attack for most of us is in our minds.

With me he brings up a lot the old things that used to plague me. Fear...doubt...bad attitude...feelings of inadequacy...thinking that I am just not good enough, that I am only good at being bad and bad at being good and lots of other lies. The worst part of all of this is that at times, I believe him. As it was said to me..."we let him get a toe hold and then a foot hold" and then he just keeps on going until we are down so low we can't always fight back on our own. I had to get help and talk it out with someone I could trust. If that's what you have to do, do it! Don't let the devil get you so afraid you can't ask for help. You have to do whatever it takes to get through all of the mess that's in your mind, and get a hold of GOD!! Sometimes you can't get there on your own because you have listened to the devil a whole lot longer that you should have.

I found out a big thing about myself in all of this...I am not spiritually mature in a lot of areas. I have a whole lot more growing to do. One thing that I need to learn to do all of the time is to "Praise HIM" through every storm in my life. I am always going to have them and so will you. We just can't let satan get that first toe hold. Trust in GOD to see you through. I like these verses...

Deuteronomy 31:6



So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

Deuteronomy 31:8

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

If you see yourself in what I have just said...do something now. Talk to GOD, read HIS WORD or find a Christian friend and ask for help. If they are truly a person of GOD, and a real friend, they will be able to help you.
