9/21/24 Time is of the Essence

How much time do you think we have before our world changes to the point that we no longer have the freedoms we have today? How much time can you guarantee you’ll have with your wife or children? When is the proper time for you to make the changes needed to bring your family to wholeness? Should you start after that next important business project is completed? How about once that promotion comes through? Maybe after you have the time to spend with the Lord so you have His wisdom, you’ll put things in God’s order.

Take it from a man who threw away a better part of his life before he knew any better; time is of the essence! There are many days I wish I had said this or done that to invest in those who relied on me to live up to my calling as a husband and father. So many opportunities were wasted, opportunities that could’ve changed the life course of those involved. What I should have done then is impossible to do now for many reasons.

Now is the time to make whatever changes you need to make. Now is the time to show those who love and count on you how valuable they are in God’s eyes and in yours. Now is the time to do whatever is necessary to uphold your offices of husband and father in a way that pleases God. Tomorrow may be too late. Do it now! Delaying anything truly important - especially concerning the lives of those you love - is foolish.

9/20/24 Final Warnings on the Horizon

“I am amazed at how little most of My church is responding to the warnings that I have given them. I have called them to repent of their sins of pride and selfishness. They have responded by consulting Me less and relying more on their own strength. I have urged them to sell what they have and buy gold from Me refined in the fire. They have responded by using My blessings to pad their own comfort areas. I have called them to a crucified life, one that is dead to self and alive only to My Word. They have responded by living a life of hedonism in the midst of need.

''My servants go without necessary tools while the provision for tools is converted into play toys and castles made of sand. My Word is used for excuses to remain justified in sin. My heart for the lost is ignored. Even when I have opened the door to allow judgment to enter the world, you, My church, ignore the warnings and continue on your path of proven destruction. When I am placed in second place of anything, it is not good. I will not remain there for long, no matter how self-reliant and powerful you think you are.

"Be assured that I am producing a series of final warnings to My church. You must repent now. You must surrender fully to Me while there is still time. You have no idea how close you are to the total destruction of your world as you know it. Soon all of your self–serving gold will be worth nothing. Your power will be gone. Your influence will be scorned. Your safety nets will be torn and destroyed. You will be totally bankrupt, because you have lost what you have relied upon and have ignored true wealth. You will become slaves to those who speak languages that you do not understand. They will inherit your vast holdings and dwellings built of greed. Do not ignore My warnings any longer. Sell out fully to Me now. The day will come when you will wish that you had.”

Isaiah 48:3 NIV

“I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.”

Jeremiah 5:15-19 AMP

15) Behold, I am bringing a nation upon you from afar, O house of Israel, says the Lord. It is a mighty and enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor can you understand what they say.

16) Their quiver is [filled with deadly missiles] like an open sepulcher [filled with dead bodies; the foes] are all mighty men (heroes).

17) They shall consume your harvest and your food; they shall consume your sons and your daughters; they shall consume your flocks and your herds; they shall consume your vines and your fig trees. They shall break down and impoverish your fortified cities in which you trust, with the sword [they shall destroy them].

18) But even in those days, says the Lord, I will not make a full and complete end of you.

19) And when your people say, Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us? then you shall answer them, As you have forsaken Me, says the Lord, and have served strange gods in your land, so shall you serve strangers (gods) in a land that is not yours.

I believe that you should bookmark this message. When I first received it, I felt in my heart that it was a timely message; but it was a message that should be shared by those of you who will be able to minister to others when times become more intense.

I am aware that these “Father’s Heart” messages are e-mailed to probably some of the most “sold out” members of the church – you who have already heard the wooing of the Lord and are drawing close with all of your heart. Your sincerity is more than likely already bringing life to many in your daily walk with the Lord and your personal outreaches are preparing countless numbers for bridehood. Heed this message, of course; but also place it in your portfolio.

In keeping with our directive of equipping you in your personal outreaches, I believe that this message has been given at this time for now and for future use. Prepare to use it over and over to stimulate conversation, impart conviction, and explain the times and seasons that will soon be upon us. May you use it wisely and may the power of the Holy Spirit powerfully anoint all that you do. You are valuable and an honor to love.

In Your mercy, prepare us, Lord,

9/20/24 Show Your Love

In my communication with adults and children, one of the most common issues is the fact that people don’t feel loved. In most cases, demonstrations of love were never given in childhood. Either their fathers never took the time to find the kind of actions that allowed their children to feel loved, or other things took priority over their child’s needs.

Men, at every opportunity, and as often as you can with all that’s in you, find a way to tell your wife and your children how valuable they are and how much you love them. Go out of your way to express your feelings and back them up with actions that confirm your words. If they learn nothing else from you, let it be confirmed in their hearts that they are loved - not only by God, but by you. It will go a long way in allowing them to navigate life’s perils as they grow. Start now and stop only when you are called home.

9/19/24 Walking with God

“Come to Me! It doesn’t matter how small your concern is or how large the challenge before you presents. Come to Me! I have decided to always be there for you. Jesus made the way. When your life becomes a heavy weight, I am there. When you rejoice, I am there. I can’t see the size of your mountain. I only see the joy of being on the other side of it, whether you must go over it or I move it aside. Come to Me! I have chosen to walk with you through your life. I am now the center of your life. I love you!”

Hebrews 13:5b AMP

…for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

Hebrews 13:6 AMP

So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?

Since the cross, when the veil before the Holy of Holies was ripped in two, puny mankind - who previous to this time was truly on the outside looking in - has the kind of access to God that the angelic creation will never have. We can now come directly into the presence of God anytime we desire to go there and are accepted as if Jesus Himself entered.

Stop and ponder that, and then ask yourself why in the world we don’t spend the majority of our time in His presence. That is how limited and puny our thinking is! Of course, the Lord did say that His thoughts and ours are two different things, and this example certainly proves it. We settle for so little, and it must grieve the heart of God how often we miss what He’s made available.

“Thank You” and “forgive me” don’t even begin to cover it, Lord!

9/19/24 What Is Your God?

In the last days, the Bible says men's hearts will fail them for fear. It also says men will cry out to the mountains and rocks to fall on them and hide them from the face of Almighty God.

In those times, it is said that whatever has been your god will be that which is used to destroy you. If you have served pride all your life, then the pride that will not allow you to bend your knee to Jesus will destroy you. If hatred and anger are your gods, then cursing God Himself for the distress He is allowing will be a natural outflow from that kind of heart, etc., etc.

It is amazing to me how people interpret strong warnings about the end times, which I believe are just around the corner. Instead of accepting and heeding them as the love warnings they are, people tire of them and continue to serve the gods they have served throughout their lives. It’s almost as if a purposeful challenge is being sent back to God - a challenge for Him to actually prove that the things He promised in His Word will happen. No one can conceive that a loving God would actually allow these things to occur.

Believe God. Please, believe God. His endtime scenario is a portrayal of real people very much like you and me, and they didn’t heed the strong warnings that were given a short time before the end. They were strong warnings very much like those we hear today, in times very much like these, to people very much like us.

What changes do you need to make so your family is prepared for the challenges that are on the horizon? How willing are you to make them?

Let’s talk more!
