In the midst of division, disillusionment and deception

"...the people 

who know their God 

shall prove themselves strong 

and shall stand firm 

and do exploits for God".

                Daniel:11:32

It is becoming clear to all we live in unprecedented times.  Never in history has our world been assailed with so many inventions, innovations and scientific and medical advances that have radically changed lives. 

Many years ago “Goodnight Sweetheart” was a series where Gary could travel in time and lived two lives, one in the 1940s the other in the 1990s.  In 2015 there was a one-off remake and I howled with laughter as Gary experienced the technological acceleration since 1999.  If you can find it, it’s worth watching.

 

Interaction with the internet brings much that is not of God and it is terrible to learn how young people searching for love and acceptance find the opposite and are caught up in on-line abuse.  We read in Ephesians the battles we face are not of flesh and blood, but ‘powers and principalities’ and as Jesus tell us it is “the devil who comes to maim, steal and destroy, but He came to bring abundant life”.   How can we, as Christian’s fight this onslaught when Jesus’ name is no longer precious, but used as a swear word?

 

For years my first priority each day has been to speak God’s Word over our nation. Today asking Him to rescue our vulnerable young people caught up and maimed by self-doubt, lack of self-worth, gender identification and robbed of family life as God ordained it.  Without the plumb lines of a loving God, they are being tossed like ships in a storm of negativity, and unable to find a safe harbour, turning to anti-depressants, drink and drugs which destroying their minds, bodies and even life itself.   

How do we show Christianity isn’t a boring religion?  In my teenage years I was very anti-church, but over the years the Lord introduced me to Christians who spoke of their faith. A series of events culminated in being taken to a lively church, where God clearly spoke to me.  Having committed my life to Him I challenged Him in the next thirty days to prove Himself.  It was extraordinary, the Bible became interesting, and forty-five years later I am still excited as I walk in God’s plan for my life and believe I will do exploits for God. 

I feel loved and privileged to be adopted into 'God in three persons' family.  I’ve been disciplined and discipled to stand firm in His Word, and found the joy of the Lord in the darkest times which has strengthened me.  He inspires my novels where I use my experiences of Him to show His desire to breakthrough into our lives when we call upon Him.

My fourth book in the Heart Desire Series is finally finished and available free on Kindle on 1^st March.  It would be wonderful if everyone reading this, would spread the word, open a Kindle account and download ‘Rosie’ on that day.  That should push up the book’s ratings so seen by non-Christians in the hope they'll download it..  Should you read it, please write a customer review which will also draw people to the first three books.

This is an ‘exploit for God’ where we can all take part to release His Word in a form to interest and draw people out of their darkness into His love and light.
