THE MOST INFLUENTIAL CAREER...

NationBuilderMotherThere is no other career that is so influential. Mothers determine the outcome of the nation. They influence generations to come. And they are privileged to bring forth children for eternity. No wonder the devil wants to decry motherhood. He knows it is so powerful.

A MOTHER!

MakeWorldGoRoundA Mother!

In her kitchen on her stair,

What ups and downs! What wear and tear!

 

She is forever meeting needs;

Forever sowing tiny seeds,

 

So that the little feet may run

Upon the highway to the sun

 

And that the trustful eyes may trace

Redemption stories in her race,

 

Losing her own life hour by hour,

She finds it breaking into flower.

EVERYTHING FROM GOD...

GodIsGoodSatan will not tempt you with that which looks evil as you wouldn’t be tempted. Instead, he tempts you with that which looks wise and good just as he did with Eve in the garden. We must continually watch and pray that we are not deceived by the things that seem good and wise. Make sure they line up with God’s word.

DON'T MISS YOUR DIVINE APPOINTMENTS

DontMissDaniel 9:20, 21 tells us about Daniel praying and confessing his sin and the sin of the people of Israel before the LORD God. It then tells us that at the time of the evening offering the Angel Gabriel came and "touched" him and began to speak with him.
 
God delights to speak to us, but He had certain times when He specifically revealed himself to His people. He came to Daniel at the time of the evening sacrifice and burning of incense.
 
It was at the time of the evening sacrifice that God came to Elijah on Mount Carmel and revealed Himself as the God in Israel and "the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God: the LORD, he is the God" (1 Kings 18:36-39).
 
It was at the time of burning the incense when the angel came to Zacharias to tell him that God would give them a son who would prepare the way for the Savior of the world (Luke 1:8-17). It doesn't say whether it was at the time of the morning or evening incense burning, but it was one or the other. As the priest sprinkled the incense on the burning coals from the altar and the fragrant sweet aroma rose up to God, all the people prayed outside. The altar of incense speaks of prayer, praise, and intercession.
 
God established the morning and evening principle in His Word for us to meet with Him. Do you want God to touch you? Do you want Him to come and touch each one of your children? How important it is for us to gather our families each morning and evening (according to the prototype God gave us) to offer praise and intercession to Him and hear His Word. We should give God every opportunity to come to us as a family.
 
Don't miss these opportunities for God to come and speak to you and your children.
 
God bless you today.

GOD LAUGHS AT MAN’S FOOLISHNESS

GodLaughsI am sure you have heard of Thomas Robert Malthus, the originator of Malthusianism. He believed that people would keep multiplying but food subsistence would only mathematically grow and therefore could not keep up with the multiplying of people! Consequently people must limit their families.
 
Margaret Sanger, the source of Planned Parenthood was also a Malthusian.
But get this. Malthus lived from 1766 to 1834. Back in 1820 when Malthus lived the world population numbered only 1.1 billion people and 95 percent lived in poverty with 85 percent existing in extreme poverty.
 
By 2015 the world population grew to seven billion. It is now 8.1 billion and yet less than 10 percent live in poverty. Over the last quarter of a century demographers calculate that every day 137,000 fewer people around the world live in extreme poverty!
 
Today we still have people who believe in Malthusianism. The New World Order and the World Economic Forum are intent in reducing the population of the world. They state openly they want to reduce it to 500 million! Just think of how many people they want to eradicate from the earth.
 
This nation is still the breadbasket of the world, but they are having to force food shortages. This government is paying farmers to destroy crops and animals.
 
What does the Bible say? “Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?” (1 Corinthians 1:20).
 
God who made this world made it with plenty of room to be inhabited with human population! He knows what He is doing. Listen to what He says: “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be INHABITED: I am the LORD; and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:18).
 
We only have to travel this this great country and see the vast lands that are still uninhabited. You travel through a city and then go back to hours of traveling through land that still waits to be inhabited!
 
We certainly need to affirm the words in Romans 3:4: “Let God be true, but every man a liar.” I’d certainly rather trust in God’s wisdom than the foolish wisdom of man. Wouldn’t you?
 
Be blessed today,

DO YOU WANT TO BE WHOLE?

WantToBeWholeThere are so many Post Syndromes these days, aren’t there? Many of them very real to those experiencing them. Another very real post syndrome is PTLS (Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome).
 
There are women have a tubal ligation and do not have any ramifications. Unfortunately, there are many who experience serious and unexplained side affects that they were never told they would experience. Doctors do not even understand these aftereffects. To name a few—severe depression, panic attacks, hormone loss, unexplained body pains, mood swings, and early menopause. And yes, we can’t forget loss of libido. Who wants to go through that?
 
What is a tubal ligation? It is a surgical procedure where they tie, clip, or burn the fallopian tubes to prevent the fertilization of an egg. It is sterilization which leads to another unexpected side effect—regret! Many women do not expect this.
 
I don’t believe we can tamper with the way God created our bodies and get away with it. God created us perfectly. When we try to change our bodies from the way He planned for us, we can expect negative things to happen. And we cannot expect to live in wholeness.
 
In fact, when Jesus healed people, the Bible often says that they were “made whole” from that moment. To be “made whole” is the Greek word “sozo” which means to be “saved, healed, preserved, delivered, and MADE WHOLE.” This word is also used when the Bible tells us that women will be preserved through embracing motherhood (1 Timothy 2:15).
 
God wants mothers to BE WHOLE! Sadly, a woman is no longer whole when she cuts off her fallopian tubes. Sadly, she is now mutilated, apart from the fact that she is also sterilized!
 
And I have a little thought. Men (through vasectomies) and women (through tubal ligations) both began changing the way God created them to stop having children. Now, mankind is going even further and seeking to change to the opposite sex! How further down the track will we go?
 
Dear lovely mother, if you have been contemplating a tubal ligation, I would encourage you to forget about it completely. Why set yourself up for future problems, both physically and emotionally? The healthiest and sanest thing you can do is to STAY WHOLE!
 
Blessings from Nancy Campbell

DO WE BOW OR DO WE STAND?

DoWeBowWe know the story of how Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to the golden image. They were the only ones who refused to bow. It is amazing that everyone else in Babylon had become a victim and slave to do what they were told. They were indoctrinated and brainwashed that this was the right thing to do. It says that "all the people, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image" (v. 7).
 
Although we are not forced to bow to images of false gods today, we still face the same challenges. We are educated and propagandized to bow down to the gods of humanism, feminism, and socialism— false gods that are opposite to the God of the Bible. Because they are educated by liberal teachers and college professors, many Christians bow to these false gods. The deceptions are so ingrained in their minds they think they are normal. Many caved into the tyranny of the plandemic during the last couple of years only to find they were being fed lies and deception.
 
May God save us from being deceived by false gods. May we as parents be watchful enough to save our children from being victimized by the deceptive gods of this society.
 
It’s time for us to arise with the courage of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to stand against the grain. Don’t you love their unwavering confession before the king? "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that WE WILL NOT serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up" (verses 17 and 18).
 
We know the story of how God delivered them from the fiery furnace, but more than that, their courage to not bow down "changed the king's word" (v. 28). They turned the heart of the king of the nation because they would not give in!
 
Do you bow to the status quo of this humanist and deceptive society? Or do you stand against the deceptions?

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

WhoseSideYesterday I stated: The devil wants to keep everything about God in a little box. He does not want us to spread the truth and light of the gospel. He hates the truth. He hates the light, and he wants to keep people in darkness.
 
He also wants to keep us in the dark about the blessing of having children. Yes, he really hates this truth! To bring forth the godly seed is anathema to the devil.
 
We see how the enemy became very agitated when the children of Israel multiplied in Egypt. The new Pharaoh was shaking in his boots. He said to his people: "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; LEST THEY MULTIPLY." The devil is scared of God's people multiplying. He does everything in his power to "rob, kill, and destroy" to stop children coming into the world.
 
Will we give in to his strategy to hide the revelation of God in the earth? Or are we on God's side? We can be so assimilated and even mesmerized by our godless and humanistic society that we fail to recognize that when we oppose or deny life coming into the world that we are on the devil's side. It's a plain fact that the devil hates life but God loves life. Which side are we on?
 
Each new baby is a fresh revelation of the image of God on earth. Let's not hold back the revelation of God. Let's not hold back the children God wants to bring into this world.
 
I am so glad you are a testimony of God's truth and that you are shining His light in the midst of the darkness. Keep spreading the truth. Never be silent.
 
Blessings to you today from Nancy Campbell
