Ahmadinejad Tells U.N. Messiah’s Return At Hand

tammyrimer The end days

With the U.S. and Israeli delegations absent in boycott, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the General Assembly on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur in a rambling, apocalyptic speech in which he declared his confidence that the table already is being set for a “new world order.”

What Ahmadinejad means by “new world order,” however, has nothing to do with the globalist economic and political integration envisioned by President George H. W. Bush.

Known internationally as “Twelvers,” radical Shiite Muslims like Ahmadinejad believe the new order will come with the return of their messiah, the Mahdi – the child imam who supposedly went into seclusion at the bottom of a well more than 1,000 years ago.

Indeed, after a long diatribe in which he blamed Western civilization for most of the world’s major problems, Ahmadinejad concluded his speech today with an extensive description of his belief that the Mahdi will soon usher the world into a new era of peace and prosperity.

In a time of terror

A prayer in Isaiah 37:14 from Hezekiah

VS. 15 Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: “O Lord Almighty, God of Isreal, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Give ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; listen to all the words Sennacherib has sent to insult the living God. It is true, O Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste all these peoples and their lands. They have thrown their gods into the fire and edestroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands. Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on earth may know that you alone, O Lord, are God.”

My prayer today is that we will all look to God for our protection and salvation in these difficult days. That no matter what happens, we know that, in the end, God wins and so do those who know and love Him.

Amen.

Serve Wholeheartedly

Father in heaven, only you know the motives that lie deep within the recesses of my heart. I truly want and need to serve you wholeheartedly with a purity of purpose. May my goals and expectations be not for me, but for you, my lovely Savior. I pray this in the name of Jesus, who never wavered in His purpose. Amen.

Living for His purpose in your life will surpass any joy you would find in living for YOUR purpose!!! Go…live in peace and love…in His will!

Take Courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid. Matthew 14:27

My prayer for you today is that as you go through your day at work or at school that the people around you will see that our Lord and Savior is alive…because He’s alive in you!

Falling Away

tammyrimer Believers standing strong, Voice of Clarity, What's in my heart , , , ,

In these times of confusion and right seeming wrong and wrong seeming right in the eyes of the world, it is easy for believers to become confused and accepting of what the world says is right. There is a clear “falling away” of believers as their once black and white beliefs become a pale gray.

We, as believers, need to be the hands and feet and Clear VOICE of God…of truth.

I have been struggling with where my voice is…what God would have me do and say. Who to say it to and how to say it. I have struggled with the burden on my heart of stepping out and speaking loudly for God. Yet I have stayed back, talking behind closed doors, but very seldom having the guts and bravery to be a beacon of light and a voice of truth in public.   I am a business owner and I think I feared mixing the two. But at the end of the day – above all else, I am a child of God first and that trumps all.

So where do we go from here? What is our ministry? What would God have me do with this desire of being His hands, feet and voice to this dying world?

As I sit here asking God to tell me what to do, a thought, a memory came to me. I truly believe God gave us the family structure to show and explain His relationship with us. I sit here and think if my daughter came to me and said “Mom, what should I do with my life? Tell me what you want me to do.” I would say, “do whatever is in your heart, what you desire to do, BUT in everything glorify God and don’t hurt others.”

So why would our God, our Father, be any different? Why would He give a book (the Bible) that tells us how to live if He has set in stone what we are to do already? He wants us to make the decision of what to do on our own. There is no wrong answer in missing His calling for my life. His calling is for me to live a righteous life, glorifying Him and living this time, He gave me,  based on what is in my heart.

It is up to me to choose my course in a way that is pleasing and acceptable to Him. He has not set a specific task for me but rather has loved me through it all and is allowing me to find my way and glorifying Him as I walk through this journey.

Ah such clarity! So now it is time to find my Mission, my voice and glorify God.

What Is Real?

tammyrimer Believers standing strong, Listening to God, Voice of Clarity, What's in my heart

I bought a book by Joyce Meyer “How to Hear God’s Voice” but I haven’t finished it and still wonder if it is really so different for everyone that Joyce’s way may not be right for how God speaks to me. I don’t want to do anything the wrong way and miss hearing from Him.

So with all of this writing, I come back to where I started earlier. This beautiful and not so beautiful world, the end of times, and how I and my family participate in this Age. I am filled with such fear. The ways of the world are changing so dramatically and are heading to a place of “no return.” A place where Christians are seen as the enemy, the haters, the liars, the judge and the jury. And not so slowly the Christian beliefs  that this nation was founded on are being stripped away and replaced with subjective beliefs of “anything goes.” YOUR idea of right and wrong is the truth and there is no real standard of one right and wrong – but each persons idea of right is what is right.

If that is true then WHAT is REAL? Your truth or mine? Truth becomes the “Flavor of the Day” rather than a static standard of right and wrong. I fear this place that we, as a nation, are headed. It seems as though we, the Christian believer, have lost our voice. Inside I am screaming – but in reality NOTHING is coming out.

And this is what I am waiting on you, God, to speak to me about. I am trying to hear your voice and understand your will for me – for my family – in these dark days. What would you have us do?

What’s in my heart

It is about 7:45 AM on Saturday morning. I awoke at 7:15 and knew a snow storm came in the night. I went to the window to peak out at the “damage” and instead was greeted with a beautiful scene of soft lovely snow, covering a peaceful world.

I could not close the window curtain again to hide the light and go back to sleep. Instead I lye here in the darkness with only the light from the early morning sky coming in as I stare out the window from my bed, at this beautiful scene.

How perfect and peaceful everything looks. I hate the fact that soon the world will awake and disturb this beautiful scene of soft stillness.

As I lay here my mind continues to go towards God and the wonder of what is to come. It is silly but in my mind I think God has a special love for me – we have a special relationship and He won’t allow me to be hurt. Then I step back into reality, realizing all of those who have gone before me who were much more faithful to God and I’m sure felt the same way – that somehow they were protected from the pain and fear of death.

I talk to God a lot. He is usually the first one I talk to when I wake and is usually the last one I talk to when I lay to sleep. The problem is, I do all the talking. I have never been properly trained on how to LISTEN to God. Because of this, I feel trapped in a life of guessing, with a great fear of doing anything because I fear what I am doing is listening to myself and not the instruction of God and so I only stand still and then end up (after a time of standing) feeling angry, sad and frustrated.
