...ive come to the reality that the world is coming to an end. really though...there is craziness everywhere. i mean do you know what people do now. they do ANYTHING to escape feelings and reality. i mean i know that sometimes i just want to stop thinking about something, so i work out or go read or journal or pray or whatever. but now, its pills or alcohol or name something that is harmful to the body, soul and spirit, and its that. families arent families...they are strangers. friends arent really friends...they are other people being swept away in the what i call "escape mentality". what do we do about it...pray and fast... do what 1 Thess 4 says..."admonish the unruly" (admonish- gently correct). It seems like there isnt anything that is enough. I know that we cant save people, Jesus saves, but we are his instruments. I believe that there is about to be an outpouring of the Spirit of God and satan knows he is about to be losing, so he is destroying as much as possible.
on a separate note: I know that everyone eventually goes through things that they cant seem to understand, for me it is mental illness/demonic oppression. I cant seem to grasp it. i just trust God for my brother. i trust for his healing...it gets so difficult sometimes. i trust God for many things, and HE is so faithful...i have so many praises that HE has done in my life and in the lives of people around me, but sometimes it is just hard to swallow the things that seem left undone. God never forgets, and He never leaves us. I know that my brother will be healed soon...that is what I believe and stand firm in... it would be easier to give up and say my brother just needs his meds, but where is faith in that? Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. I dont see Ames being healed soon, but faith is the evidence that by the blood of Jesus Ames is healed.
