I've been watching the news and I am so saddened by everything I hear. I got a call yesterday morning from my former neighbor with whom I had spent 9/11/01 with. We were at Fort Leavenworth, KS and it was such a horrible day. Rumors were flying that all sorts of things were happening and the post just shut down. We had guards everywhere and they were standing with guns - just like I had seen in Turkey in 1992 and I never thought I would see that here in America. But there is something going on, I cannot put my finger on it exactly, but I feel like this country is being tested and, quite honestly, if you only know the news we would be failing. My friend that called yesterday believes that we are in the birthing pains; that Jesus is getting ready to receive his bride soon and is preparing us. I just took a deep breath. Things I'd seen on tv came rushing into my mind - the guy that thinks he's Jesus - the 10 commandment judge - the democratic presidential debate where all the Bush bashing took place - the pictures of 9/11 - the Pentagon - Shanksville, PA - lockdown mode at Fort Leavenworth - 24 hour news on this horrific tragedy - pictures of Osama bin Laden - calling the hijackers the magnificent 19. But then I saw the statue of Saddam Hussein come down - the pictures of him being torn up by the Iraqis - the soldiers I know and their stories that have been in Afganistan and Iraq - our president and his wise, wise words... I feel like we are the remnant - and we need to be boldly speak about our God and his saving grace. I am proud to be an American, but if we want to continue to live in a nation where we can be proud of our country, we need to participate in helping it be so.

Greetings to you , we are in the early birth pains and the pains will intensify. We must be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit and forget about all the traditions of man. Read Matthew 24 by the teachings of the Spirit of God. A woman must complete her labor process in order to have her child or the baby will be aborted. The Lord will do a strange work. Will we recognize. He does nothing without revealing His secrets to His servants the PProphets. There are many false prophets but the true Prophets are crying out in the wilderness and the people scoff. Hear ye, hear ye what the SPIRT has to say to the church. Let us pray that our flight be not in the winter or on the Sabbath day. That's what JESUS told us to do. May you receive this in love. bygra2003.
