Miraculous Discoveries that Confirm Biblical Truths!

 Hal Lindsey in this particular episode of his show "The Hal Lindsey Report," which can be seen on DayStar TV on Sunday nights, shares this new evidence, explaining what they found and how it plays into biblical prophecy!

They have now found and verified evidence of two earthquakes, one of which occurred around 33 AD which would coincide with the time of the death of Christ as he was 33 at the time of his death by crucifixion.  This earthquake occurred just after Jesus cried out in a loud voice and said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." (Luke 23:46).  The earthquake as we have all read or been taught, occurred just after Jesus died.  (Matthew 27:51).

Watch as Hal explains all these new archaeological findings, which includes a lime stone box, (or tomb?),  of the granddaughter of the High Priest Caiaphus's who presided over the trial of Jesus as well as evidence  they have  found proving that King David and King Solomon actually did live and were not creations of mythology!

I will leave you with the same thought as Hal does in this video:  "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my words and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."  (John 5:24).

Read Matthew 24, which gives the signs of the "end of the age," and then contemplate whether you would prefer to be taken Home to be with Jesus Christ when He comes to retrieve His Bride, The Church,  from the earth, or if you would rather be left behind to a form of hell on earth, in which men will seek death, but will not find it. (Revelation 9:6).  Jesus is coming very soon to take His Bride, Home to heaven!  "Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door." (Matthew 24:33).

 I truly do believe that He is indeed, "At the door."

Jesus is The Melody of my Heart

For some reason today, I've been thinking of a special loved one.  

My Grandma Maime who went home to be with the Lord in Jan 1990.  We would take trips to see her in Tennessee when I was very young and I remember, when one of us grand kids would sin (be mean to one another, call each other names, etc.,) she used to say, "Now stop being ugly."  The "ugly" referring to our "sin" not how we looked.  I have never forgotten it.  Try it on your kids sometime and watch them do a "Kodak Moment" double take!

She and I were close, but mostly from my early teens until my mid 20's, mostly through cards, letters and little gifts we would send each other like little knick knacks that had been hers, which meant the world, all my children's Christmas Stockings which she crochet herself, and I would send regular photos, and specially framed photos of the babies and more as they grew.  I would send her flowers just for no reason on occasion to show her how much she meant to me and we just had the best relationship.  We talked on the phone over the years as much as we could afford, or she would call me on my birthdays and such.  But as she got older, it got less and less, but I always kept her in  my prayers because she told me once during one of those phone calls when she was getting towards her mid 70's that she had prayed for me every day of my life and that she wouldn't stop until the Lord called her home!  That thought, hearing her say it....will bless me till the day I am called to go and be with Jesus.  I'm sure she'll be the first one there to greet me with that "Hello there Darlin. Now come give me some suga!"  She had the most calming and assuring voice. 

When she passed away, I felt like I'd lost my best friend, and still do.  She was a faithful Christian and once on one of our trips when I was little,  I went to church with her.  After church, she showed me the church's garden and taught me how to smell the roses without getting pricked by a thorn.  She talked about how I should always be thankful for the Garden's because God lives in each one!  I think the "ugly" we are seeing around us today would make her glad to be at home with the Lord, for the flowers are still blooming and beautiful, but the people in the midst of those beautiful gardens are rotting in sin worse than ever and they are hurting, maiming,, murdering, stealing the innocence of children and the list goes on, and oh...how she would grieve and pray for the lost and the horrible "ugliness" they were perpetrating against others.

God Bless you Grandma Maimie!  I know you're watching & listening in one of God's many beautiful Garden's in heaven.  You are one of the most precious gifts God ever gave me which I thank Him for on a regular basis, for without your prayers for me all my life,  I might not even be alive right now if not for your faithful prayers and while I may have been born and raised in California it feels so much like I was born and raised in Tennessee and I think that is because of you! 

You were and still are the most faithful Christian woman I feel that I will ever know and I think of you very often.  This one is just for you.

I love & miss you dearly.

Steps to Encourage Others


Okay, I know I'm always encouraging you to encourage others, but I never really give you any ideas on how you might get started!  I know some of you are shy, scared to talk to other people, etc, so let's think of some ways you can be more like Jesus.  You see there is a way to do things and not have to share, in fact we are encouraged not to!     You can keep it as a special memory in your heart for the more friendly, helpful, encouraging and biggest of all, helpful you are to those who are defenseless to do anything about their situation...the better!  No matter how small the situation is!

Jesus said, "Do not do good things so that people will see you do them. If you do, you will get no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give money to poor people, do not send men in front of you to blow trumpets or horns. Some people do this in the meeting houses and on the streets so that people will praise them. They are not true to themselves. I tell you the truth. They have their pay already."  (Matthew 6:1-2).

SHINE YOUR LIGHT!  HERE'S JUST A FEW IDEAS!

Maybe you walk or ride your bike to school, and you see how bad the paperboy's arm is?  If there is no doubt which house they were aiming for, pick up the paper and throw it closer to the mark, like the walk way or the porch?  (Someone will think they got a different paperboy!).   Or, how about just giving a respectful smile to someone older as you hold a door open for them?  (As a woman, let me tell ya, some of those big glass doors can be very heavy, so I know they'll appreciate it!)

How about finding the least popular kid or the newest kid at school and showing them around or just sitting with them at lunch?  And when he or she is bullied, stand up for them!  Be bold!  Start standing up for the bullied kids,!  You'll be storing up eternal rewards for caring for one of the "least of these"!

And what about us adults?  "Nah, we give to charity"!  Hogwash!  FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!  Open the door for someone, if its a weekend and the paper boy missed, take it over and throw it on the correct walk way yourself!  You see, as adults we have resources our children don't.

So, how about paying the bridge toll for the guy behind you once in awhile?  You could pay for the coffee for the next person in line while going through the Starbucks drive-thru? You could give a very hard working employee a day off with pay?

And you ladies, how about doing those same things, safe in your car at the drive thru?  Pay for the coffee or bridge toll, but how about finding the newest girl at work and offering to take her to lunch, your treat and get to know her, offering her something a little scarier...oooh......your friendship!!!!  

AND WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT - DO IT ANYWAY!  GOD WILL REWARD YOUR OBEDIENCE WHEN YOU FEEL HIS PROMPTING TO DO SOMETHING!

It doesn't matter if you're a teen aged boy/girl/mom/dad, etc., don't let these simple  opportunities to be kind & encouraging to others, pass you by?  They won't know us if we just pass on by, they will only know us by our Love!  (John 13:35).

I leave you with the words of Jesus when he was asked about which of the Commandment was the greatest?  Jesus said,   "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.  The second is this:  Love your neighbor as yourself.  There is no commandment greater than these."  (Mark 12:30 -31).

Love yourselves, your families, and please  love others by passing along this blog!  +1 us on Google,  Tweet us,  Share us on FB !  You know what to do to get the word out!  I'm just one person, I need your help to get this  "Love Crusade" on the train tracks!

The day is drawing near!  Let us rise up Church!  Love everyone!  Don't love just your Christian friends, LOVE STRANGERS EVEN MORE!  THE WORLD NEEDS JESUS!

He's Just a Prayer Away

I told a story recently, that I think deserves repeating, and I hope it blesses all who happen to read it!

First let me tell you about my panic attacks.   If you're a sufferer you definitely understand how paralyzing they can be.  There are many "triggers" , and you will notice that they do have this way of changing over the years depending on what kinds of stress you may be under, and how many different things are causing the stress.

Anyway, that night in the ER recently, the nurse left the tiny little room I was in, which was definitely not helping because I also have pretty severe claustrophobia.  But by God's grace, she left the small curtain open just enough for me to see an older gentleman in a hospital bed, with an IV, heart monitor and other monitors and machines, and he was alone.  I could feel the Lord's heart and my own, breaking  so I started to pray for him.

I felt so ashamed, I hung my head, and I asked God for forgiveness for being so focused on myself instead of others.  What was so awesome though, is that one second I was totally under attack with severe panic syndrome and the next, I was at perfect peace as Jesus and I sat there together praying for that man.  I didn't even know his name, but God knew!  That's all that mattered.  

Since then I start my mornings with "Good Morning Lord.  What can I do for YOU today?  Please grant me opportunities to share your Good News and to rejoice with a smile and a God Bless you, when I am rejected.  Just please Lord, give me the courage to be kind and let others see the changes you have made and are making in me.  Amen."  Pretty simple right?  Then just like the neighbor you are committed to praying for, start praying for your co-worker friends and also pray for your enemies!  

You know, that even in the darkest of moments, don't ever forget,  Jesus is always listening.  He hears every word you and I say, and no matter what we've done, if we come home with a humble and contrite heart, He is faithful to forgive us!  And He will never leave you nor forsake you. 

He sure didn't forsake me that night.  If anything He made my faith stronger and I left with a stronger heart than when I went in! I have no doubt that you will see amazing things happen when you learn to "let go and let God," do His will through you and me!

Besides, even if you get lost and weary, just call His name!  Because he's always "Just a Prayer Away."
