“Behold, I frame evil against you,

and devise a device against you:

RETURN ye now every one from his evil way,

and make your ways and your doings good.

For if that NATION, against whom I have pronounced,

TURN from their evil, I will repent (turn) from the judgement

that I thought to do unto them.”

                      Jeremiah 18 v 11 + 8

This beautiful hymn was written by John Huss, a godly man who was burnt alive at the stake hundreds of years ago, for standing up against religious bigotry, and declaring the freedom that is in Christ Jesus.

  In October 2005 at the ‘Counsel of War Conference’ in London, it was said that we had five years in which to prepare for the coming economic downturn that would shake the world.

Some at the conference did not believe in such a ‘forecast’, claiming the speaker was not in touch with the way things are.

This week the government of Great Britain announced that the UK was in an economic low, the worst in 60 years, and it would not be getting better, with an anticipated 2,000,000 unemployed by Christmas.

We have two years to get ready. It is time to prepare for the future to put ourselves in a position to help the poor and needy and feed the hungry when such difficult times arise throughout the world.

Or you can just stay as you are and think that everything will get better in a while.

You can end up a giver and a benefactor, or a beggar.

Time to do business. Time to get ready. Time to lay up a store against the coming days.

1.     Soldiers of our God, arise!
The day is drawing nearer;
Shake the slumber from your eyes,
The light is growing clearer.
Sit no longer idly by,
While the heedless millions die;
Lift the blood-stained banner high,
And take the field for Jesus.

o         

o       
Storm the forts of darkness,

o        bring them down, bring them down!
Storm the forts of darkness,

o        bring them down, bring them down!
Pull down the devil’s kingdom,
Wherever he holds dominion,
Storm the forts of darkness, bring them down.
Glory, honour to the Lamb,
Praise and power to the Lamb;
Glory, honour, praise and power,
Be forever to the Lamb.

o         

2.     See the brazen hosts of hell,
Art and power employing;
More than human tongue can tell,
Blood-bought souls destroying.
Hark! from ruin’s ghastly road,
Victims groan beneath their load,
Forward, O ye sons of God,
And dare or die for Jesus.

Warriors of the risen King,
Great army of salvation,
Spread His fame, His praises sing,
And conquer every nation.
Raise the glorious standard higher,
Work for victory, never tire;
Forward march with blood and fire,
And win the world for Jesus.

Where on earth are we going??

Last century saw two world wars, the invention of the atomic bomb, the development of the internet, and the rise of worldwide radical Islamic terrorism.

Now, at the opening decade of the 21^st century we stand poised in uncertainty as to our future, and wonder what we can do to avert ecological disaster after spending the last 150 years inflicting abuse upon this sorry planet.

Some still have the rainbow dream of everything eventually getting better, with utopia being just round the corner, but for most of the thinking population, that pretty idea is something left over from a happy ‘hippy’ past.

Even ‘New-Ageism’ is loosing its appeal as followers find that moving pieces of furniture to different places in their homes, or wearing cheap gun-metal charms and chanting mantras to themselves has no power whatsoever to alter the spiralling plunge of man’s greed and selfish ambitions. Burning incense-laden candles and staring into crystals, or worshipping ‘mother nature’ can never rid this world of poverty, sickness, and death.

It seems that everyone senses that ‘something’ is going to happen, and to the majority that ‘something’ is more likely to be very bad rather than good.

The world’s population continues to grow, with India facing the prospect of having more souls to feed within its borders by 2020 than China. Inscrutable China openly seeks to become the great world power with her growing prosperity and her ability to raise an army of 200 million soldiers. Russia is throwing billions into rearming itself once again for what it believes will be the criteria for survival in the coming years. The Middle East remains the boiling pot readying itself for the next epicentre of military aggression. Everyone seems to want to own a nuclear bomb, or two or more.

Britain’s leaders however have decided at this time to savage its military forces, just to make the bank balance look more appealing to the general population! And then over the last few years gave the bored and unsatisfied population the right to consume as much alcohol as they wish at any time they want – only to complain when they discover that the number one problem in Britain is intoxicated teenagers and young adults! On top of that this same government decided that they would create a gambling society just to give everyone the ‘feel good’ factor! Then they complain about the moral bankruptcy and selfishness of this same generation!

In India 100’s of thousands of baby girls are butchered ever they see the light of day, just because they are girls and not boys! In America and Great Britain and Europe countless numbers of little lives are savagely ‘terminated’ (murdered) every year just to grant people an uncomplicated lifestyle, not realising that that is where the confusion actually begins.

Technology and the steady stream of natty inventions keeps us all amused, and each passing gimmick is quickly replaced by yet another with an extra button or brighter colour! ‘Must have’ makes sure that we buy the latest gadget, appliance, or vehicle, and helps to comfort us and keep away the haunting question, ‘What about the future?’

The clever people behind cameras roll out an endless stream of ‘entertainment’ – comedy, soap operas, and silly films that show America as the messiah of the world and the saviour of mankind. From the terrorist plot to blow up a plane, to the impending geological disaster that threatens the very existence of humanity, the super hero is always there at the end to redeem us all!

It is however interesting to note that many of these films revolve around the theme of a frightening future with foreboding, horror and worldwide disaster.

And the heroes that make everything alright and allow us to breath a sigh of relief at the end? Well, they are the Americans, of course!

Hmmmmmmm………… There were two great towers in New York not so long ago……

Japan, France, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, India, Russia, China, etc., all have secret tales to tell, and all have questionable futures to play out.

And Great Britain? Well, here at the hub of the world a nation lies under siege. Not from armies without, but from aggressors within. Aggressors who entered subtly under a cloak of friendship and goodwill, but who now seek to hurt and pull down the fabric of a nation that was the birthplace of worldwide dreams and aspirations, that changed continents and peoples, and delivered a universal language to the farthest extents of the planet.

So where on earth are we all going?

Nowhere really. Just round in circles, waiting for the inevitable, surviving, exploiting, inventing, accumulating;

lonely, diseased, crippled and dying;

spiralling downward, not upward.

The future?

Well, some still live in fantasyland, but truth is we mostly do not like to look too far ahead – because we don’t like the look of the truth.

Hopefully we will die in ‘peace’ without having to go through too many nightmares.

Somebody once said to watch out, ‘when they cry peace, peace’, for then comes sudden trouble and destruction.

Oh, and here’s another thought: so you manage to steer clear of too many horrors in life, and manage to get yourself a ‘decent’ sort of death (ho!ho!), you know, the sort where you just go to sleep and don’t wake up……..

The thought? 

Oh, yes, - so what happens after you die, and find out that death is not the end?

Hmmmmmm…….. Someone also said, ‘It is appointed to everyone once to die, …….. but after that there is the judgement.’       YE-OUCH!

Ooooooooooh! Don’t want to think about negative thoughts like that!

EXACTLY!

Only the fool says to himself, ‘There is no God’.

Even Darwin has now discovered the folly of such thinking.

Jesus said there would be wars and rumours of wars, kingdoms rising against kingdoms, and nations rising against nations. He spoke of worldwide catastrophes and rampant diseases, of earthquakes and geological upheavals worldwide.

He spoke of trouble and distress amongst the nations leading up to a terrible war that will ultimately be the last one this planet will ever see. (Most people already know it as Armageddon).

The Bible speaks of a world ruler that will rise.

Following a universal economic collapse, he will offer peace and prosperity and a central banking system for complete security to a devastated generation brought to its knees.

Nobody will be able to work or use a bank account, or do business or buy or sell unless they come within his system. This leader will insist that everyone carries a code within their body, either on their hands or on their forehead, which though invisible perhaps, can easily be scanned and will of course be the best protection against identity theft and fraud. Well now, isn’t that clever!

If you refuse to take the mark you will ultimately starve to death or be killed.

If you accept this mark you will be cursed forever and never be able to change your destiny.

There is one bit of good news however!

Jesus Christ said whoever believes on Him will be delivered and given eternal life (everlasting life!).

Sounds a bit too good to be true? He actually promised to return to this world to save every person who truly believes in Him, and who puts their hope and trust in Him.

You can hope that America can save this world from its certain future – or you can put your faith in God and give your life and future to His Son Jesus Christ.

‘Better to trust in God, than to put confidence in man’ – even if he be a prince or a president!

Actually, Jesus said that He could return at any time. If you are ready you will live with Him forever.

If not, you will be left behind to face the future and the judgement day of God.

No matter what happens in this world, there are but two possible destinies awaiting every single one of us:

 - Eternal life with Jesus Christ.

- Eternal torment without hope in a place called Hell.

Change your destiny TODAY by giving your life to Jesus Christ.

Why not raise your own Crown Flag in your town or city, or even walk with  a flag through your town or nation like others are doing?

John Masters and Peter Bennett raising the flag above Bombay, India.

The Call

Time,  

    running like a river, flowing unstoppable, uncontrollable, faster and faster leaving behind all that it missed in its perpetual advance towards the mighty ocean where it will dissolve itself, or be dissolved into the greater mass and depths wither every drop of water ever found its end. 

And none can stop its advance, yet some might dare correct its course and stagger her running by building dams and diverting her race. And some may dig a ditch that draws a stem of this quenching flow, and lead it to some pasture-land to nourish the roots of tender plants, ever it reaches again to the sea.

So, make your choice, my friend, and find a way to buy back the time, and build your dam, and draw a line across the sand, and slow the waters to do a worthwhile job; and fulfil a purpose that has value in what seems a senseless voyage you are on.

Or else your life, in all its brevity, shall soon be lost among the millions who rushed by senselessly, driven only by the gravity that sucks all of this humanity to its ultimate destiny.

So, wake up brother! or time will find you too far down the estuary, too near to the precipice where falls the water into its fearful dark abyss. And regret will never buy you back a moment that once offered you some opportunity to do a thing that gave some everlasting value to your soul.

For here and there the promptings of the river-bank said, ‘Come this way, and lose your life in doing something extraordinary, that gives you time to keep, and fulfil your destiny whilst others only rush on by.’

And still it is not too late, for this is but a life-line that if you grasp, though desperately, will prove to be the saviour of your soul.

But if your heart is taken up with flowing in the comfort of those the nearest, and the dearest of companions, and sight is shortened to the soulish dependency of what you feel is good, then you must also rush to the pointless end of a billion souls before. And as you fall beyond the crest with weakened strength, and feeble thoughts of opportunities you had, it will be too late to rectify, or turn around, retrace your steps and make amends of all that you have lost.

But now you hear this warning, and listen to the urgency, and pay not one attention to any other voice. Nor comfort yourself with sanctimony, nor even with the words of those whose love you feel you can’t deny.

And drag your soul, and wrench your life away from all that is claimed so dear to you, and gather your heart, and muster the strength to make some dreadful determination, some ultimate announcement, some consequential decision, though sneered upon and frowned at, and strange enough to shake you to the core, yet having the power to save your life and make you worthy where worthy has never been seen before.

I mean to say, its time to get up, to shake yourself, to cry aloud, to mourn your fruitless days; and quickly turn upon your steps, and grab the river-bank that offers hope, even at this latened stage, and ask the Master for the grace to pull you up to solid ground, and place your feet upon the rock, and put a song of pilgrimage into your mouth, the strains of which are purposed by the quickening of your heart.

And leaving all behind, the river and its companions, the natural course which everyone doth take: look like a stranger and an alien, discarding all the vanity and worthless toys that drown men’s souls in darkness and the grave;

Escape the natural gravity and demon-driven fantasies that keep man’s sluggish soul imprisoned by their power; and break apart the bars of iron that will not let you go; and say to weakness, ‘I AM STRONG!’ and say to fear, ‘I’M NOT AFRAID!’ and say to loneliness, ‘MY GOD, MY KEEPER, HE IS WITH ME!’

And if none will wish to walk this way, then still forward I shall go, though wishing they might follow. But me, I cannot wait, for time is quickly flying, and the winds of change are blowing, the future storms approaching, and the grains of sand, unabated, flow down the glass of time.

And from this day I pledge myself to such a cause that rebirths passion in my soul; and give myself unconditionally to a higher calling and nobler work than I have ever done, not looking for approval or compliments of man, nor standing on a platform for any to admire, but launching forth, and stepping up to that which calls me onward, to fight the fight, to run the race, not look behind, nor stop to see how far I might have come.

But embracing destiny that draws me forth and anchors my soul to goals and visions beyond the threatening skies, I tear away my heart and feelings, my lazy soul, and tired feet, and once again adorn the uniform of one who has been chosen to raise the ensign high upon the field; and shout the shout of triumph above the din of despondency, above the gloom of doubt; and roar a cry of victory above the songs of those who dance around the mystic trees of self-deluded righteousness.

And some may hear, and some may not, but matters not, for all the host of enemies of dark and wretched demons, of principalities and rulers of the darkness of this world, will hear for sure, and tremble, and run to find some rock to hide beneath, or creep behind their leader who knows his days are shortened, who roars out like a lion, yet sees his final destiny of darkness and despair.

And cry this cry of triumph I shall, and scatter light as shining seeds across the blackened furrows that gouge this planet’s face.

For this the gospel is, and this the work the kingdom does, advancing on the enemy’s camp, releasing souls from Satan’s grip, delivering the captives, and healing wounded hearts;  declaring, ‘TIME UP!’ declaring grace; declaring this the day of conquering!

So rise my brother, rise with me, and today we shall change the course and path, not just for ourselves, but for many more, and many yet to come. And shake the earth, and strike the ground with ensign in our hands, and send a tremor to the enemy camp, and tell them we shall come, and with sword and blood, and heavenly fire, shall drive them into hell itself.

And all the comforts, pleasures, banqueting;  the friends, and home, and wealth, can wait upon another world of which I am a citizen, wherein I have inheritance, and there for all eternity I shall rejoice and rest and feast, indulge myself in everything that God will there provide. But here I am a pilgrim, a soldier, an ambassador: a job to do, a King to please, a royal standard to raise across the earth.

So walk with me if you will, and if not, then not, but now I must be going to be about the Master’s work, engage myself completely, and fasten heart to all that He compels me so to do.

So, go away if all you wish is to draw me back to that which holds no value, no purpose, nor destiny, nor promise for eternity.

For I am His, and He is mine, from now, and evermore to be.
