Listening

I've been used to read the Bible - usually in the NIV or Living Bible versions. They are easy to understand and I can read through the Bible in about 6 months if I apply myself. I have an NIV large print Bible that I bought in 1975. I've literally read the covers off of it and duct taped it back together.

No, I don't want a new one. I have tried more than once to use a different copy of the same book. My old one is the one I used to teach out of. It has notes and marks on almost every page. I'd have to go through a new version page by page and transfer all my notes.

For the last year and a half, I've tried something a little different.

Youtube has various versions of the Book in audio. I've been listening to the King James Version while I crochet prayer shawls for hospice. I might miss some things if my mind wanders or if my pattern requires that I count stitches more carefully than usual, but sometimes I pick up points that I'd never seen before. Then I go into my print version and do more studying on that section.

It's very interesting to see one thing and hear another. I'm learning things I'd not picked up on previously.

Try it sometime. Listen to someone read God's Word into your ears and see if a phrase or sentence doesn't pop out in a new way.

"Faith comes by hearing and hearing  by the Word of God." Romans 10:17

The World Has Lost Its Mind

I ran across a saying that ended like this:
Truth - the supply always exceeds the demand.

Why? Why don't people want to hear the truth anymore? An even more pressing question is - why don't the people who know the truth want to let us know what it is? What are they hiding?

What I see, and I appear to be in rare company - is that the world is lining up in exactly the way Jesus said it would be at the end of the age. What I see is that demons are wreaking havoc on whole nations and no one seems to care. Instead they are cheering on the evil people and events.

"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.: Isaiah 5:20.

The occult is in full swing and the leadership is pulling for transhumanism - the "improvement of humans by crossing them with machines and/or animals". 

The world has lost its collective mind. I know it will happen. God said it would. I don't have to like it and I don't think I'm supposed to like it. It's my calling to fight the world/evil tooth and nail. It's my duty to snatch every soul I can from the teeth of the Destroyer. That includes prayer and being salt and light in a dark and rotting world.

May God preserve us in this time,
