Like Barnabas Tonight

 The times will be intense.  Everything will be at the maximum...the greatest destructive power in the hands of wicked people, the greatest war of all time threatening to break out, the greatest activity in the forces of the heavens, especially in the evil spirit world. ---[Arthur E. Bloomfield, How To Recognize the Antichrist]

Like Barnabas tonight, i must remain true to the Lord with all my heart.  i must remain true even when temptations come, and yea they shall.  Like Barnabas, i must take on the role of "encourager."  i must be one who builds up others.  i'm amazed that when more and more folks criticize and throw darts at one person, i must be there to stand beside that one person.  i cannot do this on my own.  It is You, Abba, who stands beside me.  It is You, Holy Spirit who dwells within me.  It is You, my Savior Jesus, who made it all possible when You were raised from the dead.

The most sensational and unexpected changes will come about.  Everything will be expressed n extremes.  Exaggeration will be almost impossible.  And with it all will come the most marvelous and miraculous prophetic fulfillments. ---[[Arthur E. Bloomfield, How To Recognize the Antichrist]

i need the Lord's help to not only rebuild and restore myself, but in order to build up and restore others.  i must be there for the hungry, for the small creatures on this earth.  For the sick and diseased children.  May they be the ones to be taken up when comes the Rapture.  i may be able to offer myself as an example to others even as a perpetual student.  My vision now must be creative, courageous, and compassionate.
