God can fashion a customized system of signs and symbols to speak just to YOU — a secret language between you and God. This past year, with me it has been deer. God has been using deer to give me messages. He often uses deer sightings in very obvious ways to give me encouragement and confirmations. Let me explain…

Not ALL of us. Millions of us are humbly on our knees praying for our world, begging God for mercy. We know. God knows. And He is raising up His prophets to warn us, church! He’s giving us an opportunity to repent of our sins and return to Him. The good news is that it’s not too late to change our ways, to change His mind. Please LISTEN, CHURCH!

There is someone that God has been speaking to. He has been telling you to do something that you don’t want to do. You KNOW what He is saying but you are scared to do whatever it is. You don’t think anyone will listen to you. You are afraid people will think you are crazy or get mad at you. If this is YOU, then you know it, so please read on. I want to give you some encouragement. (If it isn’t you, please say a quick prayer for whoever it is, thank you!)

Satan will sometimes blast us with hardships or sickness. But even more often (especially in our wealthy western countries), the enemy will reel us into his clutches with an easy life. A life of comfort leaves us lethargically dog paddling around in the shallow waters, tucked comfortably into our recliners watching tv… never getting deep, never questioning, never crying out to God. A comfortable life is perhaps the enemy’s most dangerous trap of all.

When we ARE in love with Jesus, seeking Him, and committed to following Him, Satan doesn’t usually bother with those obvious temptations. We’ll see right through those. But he doesn’t give up and go away. He just changes his strategy.

This morning I watched as city utility employees trimmed trees in front of my house in St. Charles. One man stood in the bucket lift high above the street as the other man guided it up and over electric wires, and between tree branches. It certainly wasn’t a smooth ride for the poor chap in the bucket.
