Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day!! I am praying daily for our country and for the lost to come to Jesus. My heart is so heavy over all thats going on in our world. I know what the Lord says about the last days; and seeing it so coming true and the Lord who can't sin never lies never decieves. As a christian I am told to get the truth out and the most important truth is;
John 3:15-16 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
There is a real Heaven and a real hell, God would have none die without trusting in him and spending all eternity in Hell, but he also gives us a free will and therefore lets us make our own choice.
Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
However the enemy Satan the murderer and liar from the beginning does lie, is decietful, and entraps anyone he can. We see this in a big way. Turn on the news we see people calling good evil and evil good. People are buying right into Satans distractions and are being turned over to a reprobate mind. Don't believe me call upon the Lord and ask him to show you what he wants.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Isaiah 5:22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Isaiah 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
I am praying daily for this world to see the truth how sad when we have people destroying cities over criminals, people ignoring the Police's orders, defending these people who if they weren;t making awful choices the cops would not bother with them. How many good black men, good fathers, husbands, taking care of their families shot dead by cops?
Yet all those defending these criminals some accused of raping little girls, some raping pregnant women at gun point. I have not heard one word about the innocent children that have been murdered. Again if they were not ignoring the orders, living a life of crime they would still be here. Lets stand up for the children. Like the Lord says in the last days evil will be called good and good called evil.

@Pshame the disrespect that you have towards white people praise breaking is disgusting. I'm about to turn 15 and even I wouldn't say something stupid like this. All color and ethics are allowed to do it and won't get judged. Don't be hating on them for praising God.
Jennesys De Jesus
I'm not even white I'm latina and I still wish there are praise breaks in my church because nobody gonna judge you for praise breaking!!!! I'M 14 TURNING 15 IN A MONTH AND I PRAISE THE LORD!!!! THIS SHOULD BE NORMALIZED FOR ALL COLORS!!!!! DON'T BE SCARED!!! PRAISE HIM 🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌

@Alita Grandison : Because someone/someTHING praises God doesn't mean they are a brother. Bible says, the rocks can praise Yah. Are they our brothers too?
