Love to You All By Jim Fletcher *merged*

[dleader]

Sorry for my ignorance but what is the cold wind that swept in a few years ago? BTW this was a wonderful article written by Jim and I enjoy reading the Israel Watch on here weakly. I can identify with that 35 year old he wrote about on there. I am just that age and tired of this world. The more I understand the end times I realize why I become more cynical about other people. At first I thought it was part of getting older but believe it is the times we are in. It is sad seeing my coworkers everyday who believe something is going to happen yet they have no use for hearing the good news about Jesus Christ. They need him more than ever now.

Also from Jim's article:

In Matthew 24:13, Jesus said: “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

We are going to glory, and I believe it is sooner rather than later. We simply must endure. Thank goodness Jesus left us His Word and the Holy Spirit for comfort.

This article was so powerful. It was profound, touching, sad, uplifting, comforting and reassuring all at once. Somehow his article also seems to make the Rapture seem even closer than it did before. Hallelujah! I, too, am so, so, so looking forward to going home.

It's likely many of us can really identify with that famous "Hang in there!" picture of the kitty hanging by its front paws on a branch. We may be down to our last two claws, but it would appear that we won't have to hang on much longer!

I believe Jim would also approve of posting this very reassuring verse:

2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Wow, what an accurate article about how I've been feeling. I don't post much here, but that article and comments by you all are why I come and read at this site every day; to keep me going knowing I'm not alone in my beliefs and struggles. A boost I needed this morning. Thank you.

[In Christ]

A sad but refreshing reminder of the world we live in today and the hope we live for...

I emailed Jim to thank him for that message.

[In Christ]

David,thank you so much for taking the time to write. I am greatly heartened to hearfrom people all over the country (and Canada, England, and Australia thismorning) who feel the way we do. Thank you for being faithful. Let's keep intouch.

Jim

A very Happy Easter to you and yourfamily!

Jim's article spoke to me as well. I feel the same way. Thanks Jim for sharing.

awesome awesome awesome. as we draw closer and closer the enemy and his demon minions are combating us more and more. truly what an honor and privilege to be deemed worthy to be born during this time and then chosen to be vessels of righteousness. i do have to admit i struggle so much, lately with doubts and unbelief and it kills me but jesus is stronger. he grabs hold of the hearts of men[and woman! ].

Jeremiah 31:33 - "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people."

even with all the tension in this world and all the voices shouting for our attention and the doubts from the enemy and even from the deep dark recesses of my heart His word truly makes me want to weep and show adoration. for he truly is with us.

Father forgive us of our shortcomings, purge us of all things that hinder our relationship with you. let every circumstance draw us closer to you. lord let your grace wash over us and let us be bold and courageous. help us be the light to all men, to everyone you put in our path. and lord please let us here your voice while tuning out the distractions of this day and age. thank you for your grace and your mercy and your love... thank you for your son. thank you for the call. in jesus name, amen.

[Joseph The Carpenter]

Thank you Brother

Happy Resurrection day

I could have written that letter myself. How much longer Lord?

Sorry for my ignorance but what is the cold wind that swept in a few years ago? BTW this was a wonderful article written by Jim and I enjoy reading the Israel Watch on here weakly.

I can't speak for Jim, but I think the cold wind that swept in a few years ago was the election of Obama. It represented a sea change in america that this man could get elected. He attended a church that preached hate for years, is sympathetic to muslims and their hatred of Israel, and is a socialist. Look at any socialist country and see how they treat christians. Instead of being a uniter , the country is more divided than ever as he tries to force his big government socialism on the country. He is betraying our alliance with Israel daily and the many blessing our country has received from our love of Israel is being removed. I agree with Jim, I don't know how people with out faith can get up each morning and see what is happening. Jesus said that when we see all these things begin to happen, to look up, for our redemption draws near. When I find myself falling into depression, just like Jim I remember to look up, and realize that we are so lucky to be this generation. As it is said, it is darkest right before the dawn. The morning star will soon rise.

I can't tell you how helpful this article was. Everything he said hit home. I'm the 35 year old, blessed beyond belief who longs to go home. Sometimes I feel like I've gone crazy. Thanks you so much!

[golden mean]

This article was uplifting. Thanks for posting it. I often think that this wicked weird world will go on and on even beyond my own death and that I just have to persevere regardless; just have to tough it out because its probably going to get worse. I would love to be wrong about that. God's ways are not our ways.

I agree with this statement from the article, "Something very strange entered our world only a few years ago, I believe that. One could almost feel a cold wind suddenly sweep through. Everyone recognizes it." I had been wondering if I was the only one who felt that - it's getting worse too.

Me too. I look around me at family and friends, some believers, some not. They don't seem to see what I see.

Like others, I also felt "Something very strange" enter our world. This threat is a blessing!

[In Christ]

I too feel something almost like an anxiety that is all to common with me these days. Something certainly crept into this world and seems to be antagonizing my spirit more often then ever. God is the author of all things, including our return trip home at the Rapture and I think it is closer than ever.

I'm not sure about a cold wind a few years ago, but I started feeling something when the Columbine shooting took place. That's when I first yearned to go Home. (I was in college). I'm now 35 and desperately want to be home. This world makes me sad.

[dleader]

The election of 08 makes sense as the cold wind that swept through. I was not in tune to prophecy or much Bible study at that time but shortly after. It is interesting to see my fellow 35 year olds yearning to go home.

I think you & I are on the same wavelength. I also agree with your sentiment. Obama is perhaps the most vile creature to ever reside in the WH. Dark days are here indeed and it's only going to get worse. Like others have mentioned on this thread, some in the unbelieving world feel that cold wind Jim speaks of. I have spoken to several (unbelieving) folks about it since they bring it up, and they are terrified of what may happen with all of the unstability going on. The enemy is relentless now--just check the headlines of what is going on.
I am also 35...and I LONG for our Lord to come more than ever now. Keep your chin up and your heads high!

It was the Fort Hood shootings for me. I have never been the same since.

[Patreesha]

I can so relate to this article. The cold wind? 9/11. But what really made me sad was the thought that I used to love to travel but now there's nowhere I want to go except to heaven. I dream about life in the Millennium when I get down. Beautiful earthly places just aren't the same anymore -- the Catskills are rundown with graffiti on the mountains, the Keys are getting crowded and the water filled with artificial reefs (junk!), gas is too expensive for a long drive, flying is a hassle, and going overseas just seems downright scary and just too far from "home." I get so frustrated with everyone thinking I'm crazy, with cleaning dust that just accumulates a day later, with Obama lovers, with reality shows, etc., etc., etc. Aaack! Thank God for the blessed hope!

I agree with all the comments made about Jim's article.
Every Monday, I go straight to 'Nearing Midnight', and then to 'Israel Watch'.
Every one of Jim's articles is the cry of my heart, and tears flow as I see this dear brother
standing in the gap for Israel, unabashedly and unashamed.
I am so ready to go home...my best friend died one week ago, and I was almost jealous that
she was with Jesus, where I so want to be.
Soon, Lord...soon
