Californians, remember the past winter’s Atmospheric Rivers of rain? The extreme weather condition pummeled the state, refilled drought stricken reservoirs, and refreshed the mountain snowpack. “Clouds that can dump a lot of rain are more common in a warmer atmosphere,” says climate scientist Dr. llissa Ocko. Christ predicted weather to become more extreme as we approach His return. “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers [diverse, many] places” (Matthew 24:7 KJV). Christian, we should never be afraid, because our Almighty Father is still on His Throne.

Fulness of Time
“But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, (Galatians 4:4 KJV). It was the appropriate time set by God, when it had fully come for Christ to be born to fulfill the righteousness of God’s law. Only when God decides it’s right is the time full. As the tough, old drill sergeant said, “You’re not dead until I TELL you you’re dead!” God grant us the patience to wait for the times You have chosen and the willingness to labor like it should be today. Amen.
I Will Put My Spirit Within You
“And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them” (Ezekiel 36:27 KJV). This is an OT promise for the NT giving of the Spirit for the express purpose of making us willing to obey.
Practicing the Presence of God
In practicing the presence of God, “let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15 KJV). Our praise will be turning into prayer, which becomes worship — drawing us closer to God. Let us continually act as if we believe the Spirit of Christ is dwelling within us, allowing us to continually commune with Him, and making us sensitive to “grieve not the Holy Spirit of God” (Ephesians 4:30 KJV) with foolish, irreverent, or thoughtless conversation. Father, guide us by Thy Word to think our thoughts as if we were pursuing Thee, and to aspire that our emotions would continually rejoice in Thee. Amen and amen.
Casting Out Demons
Plain Christians can cast out Satan from their presence by simply resisting him (James 4:7) and his temptations. One of the “signs [that] shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils” (Mark 16:17 KJV); but, be warned, in supernatural warfare, sometimes “this kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting” (Mark 9:29 KJV). LORD, prepare Thy people for overcoming the Wicked One. Amen and amen.
Resisting the Devil
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7 KJV). Anyone submitted to God can make Satan flee from them by simply and firmly resisting his temptation to do wrong or not do right. He will flee because he knows he cannot defeat the LORD God Almighty to whom you are humbly submitted under the shadow of His wings. Never resist the Devil alone, in your own name, for we are as nothing against this supernatural godlike enemy, but through our God, we shall do valiantly! Amen.
If There Is A God
If there is a God, then why does He allow evil? A question, which demands a reply. “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding” (Job 38:4 KJV). Bitterness will spin out of control unless conscience replies, “You know better.” We cannot freely choose to glorify God unless we have the ability to utterly embrace evil.
Discerning the Doctrines of Demons
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1Timothy 4:1 KJV). Charles H. Spurgeon said, “Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” Almost getting into Heaven is Hell. Father, give Thy people discernment to avoid the doctrines of demons. Amen.
What Is His Son’s Name?
Paul asked Christians, “Hath God cast away His people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite” (Romans 11:1 KJV). Paul reminds us, “Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them [the Jews] to jealousy” (11:11). With that I ask my Jewish friends, “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in His fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His son’s name, if thou canst tell?” (Proverbs 30:4 KJV). What is the name of God’s son? “His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6 KJV). Jesus
Impossible Choices
Life is full of seemingly impossible choices. The right choice is always to trust God. “Abraham believed God” (James 2:23) about a future line of descendants through his son Isaac. Then, in the “obedience of faith” (Romans 16:26 KJV), God commanded Abraham to kill Isaac as a human sacrifice. When Abraham complied, Yahweh stopped the sacrifice, substituted a nearby ram, and confirmed, “In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My voice” (Genesis 22:18 KJV). Every offspring possessing faith — Arab, Israeli, Gentile — becomes a child of Abraham (Romans 4:16; 9:8).
