Hello!
Well, for many of you, this is the first contact I had with you in several weeks–for some even longer. It seems like there are so many things going in my life lately–good things , of course. Please welcome my apologies for not being “in-touch” as often.
Now, I will get right to the point. My point is simple, but not something easy to say; what I mean is, it is difficult to find the words to describe this point. “People, get ready!” That is what I hear God telling me in my spirit. That simple, yet powerful phrase, resonates so deep–deep even to the core of my very likeness. And of course it should since man is made in the likeness of God, that is when God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;” (Gen. 1:26).
Please read more of www.craft4christ.wordpress.com. It will explain what resonates so profoundly within my spirit. I believe it is time for the Body of Christ to become equipped for battle (spiritual battle; II Cor. 10:3), and I do not believe we are there yet. We need to have a stirring of our Faith; the Church has become stale and no longer recognizes what their true identity in the world is. As a body, we are not functioning with all members unified together. Especially true for Western Civilization cultures; in America, we have become a nation which relies more on the wealth we have built up than on God. God has become more of an idealology than the creator of all things. Woe be to the nation whose trust is in something other than God! I believe there is a great awakening coming to America, and it doesn’t involve prosperity–it has already just recently begun. To give an account, parrallell to biblical proportions, of the soon-to-be reality many Americans will face. Turn in your bibles and read in Amos 4:
7“Furthermore, I withheld the rain from you
While there were still three months until harvest.
Then I would send rain on one city
And on another city I would not send rain;
One part would be rained on,
While the part not rained on would dry up.
8“So two or three cities would stagger to another city to drink water,
But would not be satisfied;
Yet you have not returned to Me,” declares the LORD.

LINCOLN, Neb. – Water officials and farmers from across a large swath of eastern Nebraska have asked the state not to block more irrigation development along the lower reaches of the Platte River basin. …The studies show if regulations aren’t enacted through a formal, state declaration of the basin as fully appropriated, threatened and endangered species that call the river home could disappear.February 2008

Kansas AG expects court battle with Nebraska over Republican River
– Kansas’ new attorney general expects to file more litigation against Nebraska with the U.S. Supreme Court over the Republican River. …Kansas’ demands would force Nebraska to shut down wells for more than 40 percent of the irrigated acres in its part of the river basin. Kansas officials haven’t said exactly how much they want Nebraska to pay for using too much water, but they’ve conceded the figure is in the tens of millions of dollars. [1]
9“I smote you with scorching wind and mildew;
And the caterpillar was devouring
Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees;
Yet you have not returned to Me,” declares the LORD.

“The drought of 2007 has reached historic proportions, so it’s critical that we take immediate action to ensure that Georgians have a sufficient supply of safe drinking water,” said EPD Director Carol A. Couch. “All of the counties included in the level four declaration are located in areas of either exceptional or extreme drought.”[2]
If God did not spare the children of Israel for their disobedience, then why would He spare America in her current state? God’s wrath is now being poured out across this nation. Turn back to Him! Turn from your sinful ways and acknowledge all that He has done for you; the Savior He has given–Jesus Christ! (John 3:16-17) How much more does God have to do for you in order that you know how much He loves you? How much longer must you go about sinning before you wake up and realize your need for redemption? It doesn’t have to be too late. Repent!
God wants His Church to be ready for the final days soon approaching. Are you ready?
To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:
15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, 18 advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21 He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” -Revelation 3:14-22Jesus is calling out to all who will listen. Be those who listen, and not those who choose to “tune-Him-out”. “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10)I leave you with one simple thought in closing:“The time to act is not just fast approaching anymore, the time is now!”.
