Your best life now.

It is true. You can have your best life now. Now is all you or I have right now, every second ticking by these days it seems we as a nation are falling apart; Not just here. Everywhere. There is an anxiety beginning to grip aspects of our lives that are becoming too difficult to ignore. ISIS is going global and Putin and Russia are in Crimea and now too fighting in Syria where the UK and USA and Russia and Turkey and now enter NATO into the plan and that's just the proxy war. North Korea/South Korea. The South China Sea dispute. Borders of the world are seeing a mass migration not seen since...WWII. What is going on? Lets keep it real. Just considering things militarily/geopolitically everywhere it is chaos at best and the struggle of nations to not overcome the human and historical embrace of war and death is knocking on the door. I can feel it. You can too. This and the economy and unfunded liabilities and the price of oil and violence beginning to creep in as the norm all over the news...This is not all going to end well. And I am an optimist. But remember, you can have your best life now.

You shall become sheep amidst wolves and they will hate you on account of the name of JESUS. But remember, you can have your best life now. But it needs to be right now. I never talk obedience and 'get right with God' and repentance but the Church is screaming this message in unison at the top of their lungs and I would be a fool myself to not listen and declare. It falls silent upon the ears of many, who are bound to be prosperous now and build their castles and inheritance upon this land that is sand in the eyes of our Lord and Creator. Now is the time for abandon and repentance and fasting and prayers unending for the end draws near. Your best life now, and my best life now is well spent drawing nearer to Jesus Christ on an individual, personal and intimate basis. Act as if it is only He and you alone in this world at times. He alone makes this relationship real. We feel Him, when He fills us from within. Without this relationship, you will be deceived into taking the 'mark of the beast'. The deception when the Anti-Christ arrives on the scene is an act of God, not Satan. It will be the great sword of truth that divides left from right, right from wrong. Everything will be vastly different after that.You can have, your best life now.

I think of the Samaritan woman at Jacobs well, encountering "living waters", that were the very words of Jesus. His, words...eternal life changing our destiny and destination. She proved that when she abandoned her water pail and ran to her village. Her words of testimony saved that whole village. Jesus words...read them often with intent. Not Romans or Revelation or Leviticus as much as you do The Gospel. They are the words of The Father spoken through the Son by the power of The Holy Spirit that belongs to the Father. They have power. The Bible is Gods word. The Gospel, is the living Word, and the more we read this, the more alive we become. Shortly after Jesus death, what saved and rocked the entire globe? Testimony and Holy Spirit. There was no John 3:16 to put on a poster. They spoke of what He said and what He did and who He was and why He came. Simple truths changed everything because the Holy Spirit had no obstacle. Today I believe, His words hold that same power, providing we have the same faith. Our testimony becomes, the word and work of Christ through us. Seek His waters and speak of them often and relentlessly. You can have your best life now.

Pray and do. Read and hear. I desperately want to have my best life now. Right now. Truth is knowledge is life. His wisdom is necessary for our best life now. It is becoming much more about abandon, obedience and prayer. The pursuits of this world, whatever they are, either draw us nearer or enhance the chasm between us and our Savior. He came to SAVE us. There is evil and darkness and separation and an eternity without His love and hope and grace ahead and it is real. I for my part and going to do what I say in these words today. That is what His Church would do in a time like this. Draw closer to Him and His love and protection. And closer to His Church family. He seeks to deliver us into His glory above in an eternity we cannot fathom or comprehend. It will be the best life then. Your best life now, is His life within you today. Your best life now, is not yours at all.
