Breaking News! Is time running out for America?

I am reposting a blog I wrote in July as I felt the Lord wanted me to share again.  Hurricane Sandy is definitely something that is getting many's attention.  50-60 million people could be affected directly and the entire United States is on high alert.  Canada has just recently experienced a 7.7 Earthquake and over 20 aftershocks, that caused the Hawaiian Islands to be evacuated to higher grounds for fear of a tsunami.

Several years ago, the Lord showed me (and there are many others who have been hearing the same thing).... that there is a high probability of martial law going in place prior to the elections or just after the elections depending on who was voted in.  The Lord also showed me that it was vital that we ALL prepare for a state of an emergency.  That means having the means to eat, drink, cook etc for a period of time.  If you can afford to prepare for 3 months, that is recommended (if not more).  If you cannot afford much, prepare for a minimum of a week.  Here's a link that offers a great checklist to prepare:  http://www.naturalnews.com/037716_Hurricane_Sandy_emergency_preparedness_checklist.html

Please take a few minutes to watch this as we are seeing epic weather patterns!

And one last thing before you go on to read the previous post...
I am not one to get involved in other's business politically, but I have to say this election season has been quite interesting.  The only point I want to make is this:  CHRISTIANS:  We are not voting for a pastor to run the country.  We are voting for a person who has good morals, ethics and godly values.  We need to vote for the person who has demonstrated these traits, who has a proven track record and is a responsible person.  No MAN can turn this country around alone.

Bad news or not?  Have Mercy On Us Lord!

Have mercy on us and on the whole world... an urgent call to prayer and change!

How many of you know that "bad news" sells?  Whenever we hear of something bad that happens, like 9/11, the stock market dropping or the most recent movie theater shooting, we eagerly search out more of the story.  With internet and cell phones, we can sometimes get the event live, even before tv, newspapers and radio can get on the scene.  Bad news always makes front page and the big headlines.

Bad news isn't always bad news!  What do I mean by that?  Sometimes "bad news" reaching the public quickly can be good.  It can help people reach safety (like early warnings on a tornado or hurricane) and it can also inform people so they can prepare in advance.  Sometimes bad news can actually be good news.  It's all in what you do with it.

Some of you know that Ken and I do not watch tv and haven't for over 10 years.   Besides a post here and there on Facebook or if someone mentions something, we are not tuned in to what is happening day to day in the world.  We are not opposed to it, but we choose to not watch the "bad news".

Over the past few weeks the Lord has been showing Ken and I some pretty serious things about things to come.  To be honest with you, we've been really seeking God in whether or not He wanted us to share these or not but feel that yesterday we got confirmation to do so.  What we want to say is that we are NOT trying to create hype or stir fear in folks.  We are not trying to come off as the bearer of bad news but only share something that God has entrusted us to steward.

Several weeks ago, Ken was looking at the radar map over the United States.  It was in animation as the severe weather storms over many parts of the country were swirling around.  When the animation stopped, the radar showed a picture of a skull.  It looked completely demonic.  Ken believed the Lord showed him this so that we could intercede for our country.  What we didn't know was that God would reveal much more.  

A couple weeks ago, I was lying in bed in the early hours not able to sleep.  I was restless.  The Lord spoke to me, not in an audible voice but the voice was clear and precise.  I heard "seismic, cyclical and epic".   I then immediately went into a vision and saw earthquakes happening, one right after another and very specifically where.  Then I saw what I can only describe as "every" weather pattern begin to happen.  I saw tornadoes.  I saw flooding.  I saw worsening droughts.  I saw land hurricanes.  I saw tsunamis and massive hurricanes.  I heard Him speak - stay home, stay close to home.  When I came out of the vision, I asked the Lord what this meant?  I asked Him when?   I sensed He said, this has already started.  It's in motion.  In my spirit, then I heard what I would call a sonic boom.   I can't describe what else was going on other than to say that I knew there was a major shift in the earth, like beneath the earth's surface.  

When I looked up the words to get a better understanding of what God might be saying, this is what I saw: seismic of course means earthquake activity, cyclical means something that happens periodically or on a regular basis and epic means history making.  The Lord showed me that we would see weather related storms that were not typical, but history making.

The other day we were outside and we had our ipod listening to some music.  Several songs had played and then I noticed that a song seemed to be playing again and then again and then again.  I noticed a shift in the wind at that moment and had a chill go up my spine.  I suddenly noticed the  words in the song "in atonement for our sins, have mercy on us and on the whole world."  I said to Ken, I think God is wanting to get our attention and so for the next several minutes we stopped and prayed for our country and the whole world.   Once we were done in prayer, the song changed to the next one.  Interesting?  Here's the link to the song Divine Mercy Chaplet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eym833fy8Uc.   


This week we were told by Ken's parents that their Catholic Church in Gardner, KS recently changed names from Sacred Heart to Divine Mercy.  They went on to tell us that their church and many catholic churches across the world pray this Divine Mercy prayer at 3:00pm everyday.  

In 1933 & 1935 a catholic nun, Sister Faustina had a vision about God's wrath about to strike the earth.  She began to earnestly pray and the words to this song where her prayer.  God's judgement could not be carried out because He had mercy on us.  Please read further about this here due to copyright laws, I cannot copy and paste the information.   http://www.ewtn.com/devotionals/mercy/dmmap.htm

If you remember or were reading our blog several years ago, I wrote about the Lord showing me about a possible EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse)/Solar Sun Flare that might affect us as well.  NASA still continues to anticipate some type of solar storm sometime between 2012-2014.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK-TC7ojjIg

Others are hearing similar things - http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=11217 - storms coming to this nation and weather warfare are said in this article.  Bible prophecy being fulfilled mentioned on this show - http://www.sidroth.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=11623&news_iv_ctrl=0&abbr=tv_

I was told and verified it via internet that in West Virgina they had made history with the recent land hurricane (Derecho) that caused over 1 million people to be without power.  In Poland, freak tornadoes are happening, in England heavy rains and flooding.   It seems as if we have had many early warning signs.. and yet many are not prepared or are not changing their ways?  Let me illustrate this another way.

Do you remember the story about the frog in the pot of boiling water?


Hey say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, 
                            it will leap out right away to escape the danger.
But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant,
and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling, 
the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late. 
The frog's survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.

This is a story that is used to illustrate how people might get themselves into terrible trouble.
This parable is often used to illustrate how humans have to be careful to watch slowly changing trends in the environment, not just the sudden changes. Its a warning to keep us paying attention not just to obvious threats but to more slowly developing ones.


What can you and I do about it?


  • First, PRAY!  And then PRAY some more!  The power of prayer is effective.  It can change the course.  In my bible study notes, I noticed a footnote that was interesting... The words - "have mercy on me" is a Hebrew idiom which means asking for forgiveness.  If we can pray and ask God for forgiveness for our selfish ways and ambitions, for choosing things of this world over Him and if you like, pray using the prayer from above - have mercy on us and on the whole world, we could see change.  Scriptures tells us clearly - 2 Chronicles 7:14 - If My people, who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I shall hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.  Not just a few of us praying but ALL of us praying will make a difference!    
  • Second, we need to stop and give thanks to God each day and many times throughout the day for the blessings He has bestowed on us! Do you realize how much we have in this country?  We are blessed beyond measure!   We need to look to see how we can partner with God to help those less fortunate than us - whether that means traveling to another country or right here in your own backyard!  It's God's money right?  Let Him lead you!  Look around, there are needs everywhere!    1 Thess 5:18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.  
  • Third, we need to take our focus off the "bad news" and focus on what God is doing.  God is bigger than anything that has happened and will happen.  He is our provider, our healer, our comforter, our protector, our refuge!   Matt 6:33 Seek ye the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things will be added unto you.  


If you don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ, now is the time to make the most important decision of your life.  It's not too late.  Invite Him into your heart and ask Him to wash you clean from sin.  Believe that He died on the cross for you and was raised from the dead.  He loves you and wants a relationship with YOU.  Please feel free to contact me if you would like to do this.

Put your trust in Jesus - not in the things of this world!  We are to be set apart!   God is in control!  

We appreciate all of you and the comments we get back.  Your kindness and generosity is what helps us do what God has called us to do!  Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!  And may God bless you back exceedingly more than you could ask or imagine!  


Ken and I love to pray for folks who need a touch from the Lord - with words of encouragement, words of knowledge and a healing touch.  If you are someone in need, please let us know.  We also have a passion to activate and influence believers to walk in radical obedience to a fun and wonderful God!  There is just nothing like it!  

If you are interested in Ken and I coming to minister to you, your small group or church, please give us a call.  We would be delighted to!

God Bless YOU -
Ken & Michele Cole

What Keeps Your Focus? Upcoming Events




WHAT KEEPS YOUR FOCUS?

When you look at this glass - do you see it half empty or half full?  
When you are going through tough times or life throws you some unwanted circumstances, what are you focusing on?  Do you focus on what you lack or on what you do have?  Are you seeing the hinderance or do you see an opportunity?  Do you see the giants or do you see promises of God?  

In the book of Numbers, there's a powerful story about how our thoughts and actions can affect our destiny.  To preface the Scripture highlighted below, Moses tells God's people that they will receive a new land called the Promised Land.  It's a land filled with milk and honey.   The Israelites sent twelve spies into the land first, to see what kind of enemy they were up against.  When they came back they...well, let's read it first hand.....

They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit.  But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.  The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.

Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”

But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”  And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.

Ten of the twelve spies focused on the giants!  They saw the obstacles and hinderances.  They saw the glass half empty.   However, Joshua and Caleb - they took a different view point.  They saw that the land was good and they had confidence they could overcome the giants because they had faith that God was giving them this land.  They saw opportunity.  They saw provision.  They saw the glass half full.  Their focus was not on how big and bad the enemies were.  They were focused on how good their God was and is!    

A pastor once said that if you don't have any hardships in your life, then you must not be a threat to the devil.  On the flip side, if you are experiencing what may be an unfair share of trials and tribulations, praise God!

The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy; I come that you may have life and have it more abundantly.  John 10:10 

When I first became a believer, one of the first sermons I heard was about putting on the full armor of God out of Ephesians 6:10.  The pastor was very graphic and had many word pictures describing the battle Christians go through.  If it were a movie, it would of been Rated R for graphic violence and bloody scenes.  He had a way of preaching that put you right in the middle of it.  I remember thinking to myself during that sermon, wow, who are the people that have to go through this.  I sure don't want to.  Ha Ha!

A year later,  someone prophesied over me that the enemy had an assignment for my life and that he was going to do all he could to take me out and plans to destroy me.  Being vulnerable and new in learning about God, I took this threat as literal.  The seed was planted and I allowed it to take root, not knowing yet how to fight it.   (just for the record, I don't think the person who prophesied over me meant it for harm, but definitely delivered it inappropriately).

My entire life has been a battle.  I won't go into detail, but I can tell you that even before I became a believer, the enemy was out to get me and now that I am a believer he has called in the heavy artillery to do whatever he can to take me out!   My health challenges and doctors reports have had me believing that my life could be coming to an end.  The Lord tells me to trust Him and believe that He has good for me and that He has plans for my life and that my life is not over.

Not long ago, the Lord gave me a dream where Satan himself swooped down looking like a pterodactyl and pounced on me.  I was fighting him using the name of Jesus, but he was very overpowering.  I was being wooped.  I was weary and just about dead, when I called on the name of Jesus with much more authority and with a shout of praise... and Satan looked at me and said, you win for now, but I'll be back.  When I awoke, the Lord showed me that I had overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony.  I received the victory.  

Each day is a struggle for me physically and can be emotionally too!   The battle is wearisome!   Even though the battle is the Lords, it is my responsibility to keep my eyes fixed on JESUS.  I must focus on His Word and His Promises!  Just a few days ago, in my quiet time, I asked the Lord again... will I live?  Will we get to see the promises You have spoken to Ken and I?  Or, am I going to die?  The next morning a Facebook friend posted on my wall (I haven't spoke to her for probably a year)......Here's what she wrote:  Thinking about you today..."Yet I am confident that I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living." Psalm 27 NLT. The Lord bless you and all that you love...immeasurably!!  The Lord again in His mercy, gave me reassurance.   

Psalm 73:26 
My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
I want to encourage you today...no matter what circumstances you are facing keep your eyes FOCUSED on JESUS!  Focus on His Word!  Our faith is strengthened and our minds refreshed when we meditate on His Promises for our lives!  Focus on the goodness of God, not on the lies the enemy is speaking to you.  Focus on the opportunity God has for you and not the obstacles.  See your circumstances from God's viewpoint!  And, ff you need reassurance, just ask Him for it.  He is faithful and His mercy and lovingkindness are forever.

 "When you see a need try to meet it. Indifference makes an excuse, but love finds a way. -Joyce Meyer"
