Yes & No

So glad that Scotland is staying. Thank you Lord for your mercy... it's a shot across this nation's bows!!! A lot of evil has been authorised by parliament in this last year. (Some 'Good' too, BUT there's some legislation was just plain evil and God's judgement was and still is, a breath away)

Europe was sharpening it's knives and Islam would have had a "scheme" if Great Britain had been dissolved.

Jesus said "Let your "Yes" be Yes and your "No" be no, anything beyond this, is from the Devil" - this has obvious application to Scotland's decision.

There is another aspect though, that I hope the UK parliament holds to. That is their pre-vote pledge to give great devolving powers to Scotland! They MUST keep their word!!! What Jesus said applies to Parliament too! The vote over the border was very close... there's enough potential devision already.. (it could've divided households, like the miner's strike did in the 1980's) - if the Prime Minister doesn't do what he promised... a great bitterness will spread!

So, not just Scotland, but the UK Government, let your "Yes" be Yes and your "No be no, anything beyond this is from the Devil.

Thank you Scotland... love you! Thank you Lord... LOVE YOU!

To The End

At the 1968 Mexico Olympics Marathon event, one of the runners, John Stephen Akhwari of Tanzania, finds himself trapped in the middle of some other runners several miles into the race. He falls and hurts his leg horribly. He watches, anguished, as the other racers continue. John Stephen Akhwari will not win the marathon on this day. He has trained for years to come to Mexico City only to fail …or does he?

The 42km race was won by Mamo Wolde, an Ethiopian.
Over an hour has passes by, it's getting dark, the last of the crowd are leaving the stadium. Suddenly, the stadium gate is opened up, to the sounds of police sirens. Then a lone runner stumbles into the stadium, for his last lap. It is John Stephen Akhwari. He hobbles, painfully on his bandaged leg, in great pain with every step. He knew 3hrs before, he could not win the race, but he continued anyway. Finally, after 3hours and 25 minutes, he crosses the finish line and collapses.



"Why", someone asked him, "didn't you stop after injuring yourself?" After all, there was no way he could win the race. John's response was "My country did not send me to Mexico City to start the race, they sent me to FINISH THE RACE."

Perseverance is a powerful weapon. With God's strength... you can!



2 Timothy 4:7
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Revelation 2:10
"Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."

"In The Last Days There Will Be Mockers"

John 16:7-11
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 
And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 
of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 
of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 
of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged."

How does The Holy Spirit convict the world of "sin”?
Well the main definition of sin is an "Offence against God" - but the world doesn't even want Jesus to be real. Therefore - in His convicting of the world, one of His works, is to specifically target and challenge the unbelief of the reality and existence of God! Amen Lord.
The fact that hundreds of thousands are getting saved through Jesus Christ around the world every day, is evidence that He is Winning!!!

"The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God."
Psalm 14:1
