I feel that God is wanting to express His Heart to His people today concerning the “fear” that is rampant all over the world right now. God has spoken in II Timothy 1:7 that “He (God) has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind”. Right here this tells me that “fear” is NOT a byproduct of the Kingdom of God.

As well, God has spoken in John 10:10 that “The thief (satan) cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; and I (Jesus) have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

So, how is He expressing His heart to us TODAY? Amos 3:7 states that He reveals His plans through His prophets – one of the offices of the five-fold ministry which should be present in every Church. So, what is He saying concerning Covid, what is happening between the House and the Senate, the weather patterns etc.? Let me say that none of what is going on has taken God by surprise. I do not believe that God is the author of any of these acts of harm/hurt to mankind. However, God can and will use what is going on and turn it to our good. So, what is God saying?

God is calling the “Church” to true repentance. God is after the “Heart” – the Spirit – of mankind. (no coincidence that my domain name is ‘Yourheartmatters.org’). We don’t enter the Kingdom of God through our intellect. We enter the Kingdom of God (at salvation) through true repentance and belief in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as our redemption. This means a “spiritual” conversion, not an intellectual (mind) acknowledgment.

God is also calling those who are not yet in fellowship with Him. He would rather us choose Him in the blessings and the good times. However, throughout history, we see over and over again the resistance toward His goodness. It’s hard to understand, but it really all boils down to deception of the enemy, lack of knowledge, and choices. He desperately wants us to choose Him because of His great love for us.

God, because He is Love, hates ALL injustice. There has been injustice, corruption and other sins in the Church, government, the entertainment industry, media – all levels of influence. Sin and deception has produced all kinds of evil against mankind. We have an angry and hurting world. Because He SO loves mankind, there comes a time to “compel” the ones He loves to “Look Up” and see Him for who He truly is. He wants to afford us every opportunity.

And what about this last election? Whether we like it or not, God has spoken though His prophets that He chose Donald Trump for this time. In fact, there were prophecies long before Trump ever entertained the idea. Satan may not know exactly what God is up to, but He can “smell” it. He is angry and he works through whomever will allow him to.

As a side note, when the election of 2016 was finally announced and it was revealed that the Democrats held the House and the Republicans held the Senate, I asked God why it happened this way. I knew that this would create much conflict and Trump was going to have an uphill battle. His response, in a nutshell, was that there were some things that needed to be dealt with. It is obvious that there has never been a presidency met with so much opposition — By the way, the devil doesn’t come against a person unless they are a threat to his kingdom. This should speak volumes to the church (spiritually).

God loves America. There are many praying and standing in faith over this power struggle America and the rest of the world is experiencing right now. We can never have too many praying in faith over what we are experiencing. Rest assured that God is on the MOVE.

I believe that we will be astounded over what will be revealed/exposed and the happenings that will take place in the next few months. But, regardless of what takes place or what we see and hear, God does not want “His people” walking in fear. Fear attracts evil; Faith attracts God’s peace. It is time for true repentance, a time to take an honest inventory of where each of us are spiritually, and for us to pray for God’s will in this upcoming election. What is at stake is way too important.

And for the unbeliever, God is calling you too. God is love and satan is the liar. (If you haven’t read my page titled “His Plan”, consider reading it. On second thought, read all my pages!) The motivating passion behind this website is to encourage all ages to, in a nutshell, stop taking satan’s bait and believing that God is the author of so much evil and confusion. God is sovereign, but He has given us the ability to choose Good or Evil. It is said that the mind is the devil’s playground. This is why God instructs us to “take every thought captive to the Word of God”. God is Spirit and the salvation process requires that our spirits be reborn. We then can communicate spirit to spirit. Head to spirit becomes religion. Spirit to spirit becomes “Christ-like“. And we know that Jesus always went about doing good, showing compassion to the hurting and revealing the will of God.

Jesus is ALWAYS the answer. God is still on His Throne. Holy Spirit is here as our guide, teacher, comforter and so much more. I encourage you to sincerely cry out to Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal God’s truth, wisdom, insight and revelation to you. Receive or re-establish Jesus as your Lord and Savior and begin your own journey!

Hope that this message is encouraging to you and gives you hope. Church, ARISE! Many BLESSINGS! Brenda
