So many today are like the people in Noah’s day — focused on fulfilling all the desires of their own flesh, and they won’t realize what is coming until it is too late! When God’s people speak His Word to warn, their words fall mostly on deaf ears! Their words seem foolish! 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Many will be deceived by their own foolish minds! They will wait a day too late to accept the salvation they’ve been offered! 1 Corinthians 3:18-20 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The LORD knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. We can only imagine how many stood at the door to the ark as the waters got higher and higher, begging to get inside — but it was too late! Noah couldn’t open the door. To do so would allow the flood waters in! And beloved, God had shut the door! Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith He that is Holy, He that is True, He that hath the Key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth. He is patient, just like He was in Noah’s day — But there will come a day when His patience comes to an end, and the door will be closed for salvation! 2 Peter 3:9-10 The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Don’t be like these foolish and wicked people! I can’t imagine that the wickedness of Noah’s day was worse than what we see when we look around us today! Will you heed the warning signs around you? Will you get in the Ark so to speak? Will you call upon the Nome of the LORD today for salvation? Romans 10:9-13 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the LORD shall be saved. Don’t wait a day too late, or a second too late! #EyesOnHim

A Day Too Late! Sometimes what the LORD speaks to our hearts will seem like foolishness to others. If you dare tell what you’ve heard from the LORD, you will often be mocked and ridiculed! Such was the case in the story of Noah! Let’s take a look! Genesis 6:5-9,11-14 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. [11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. There is no mention of rain before this in God’s Word! The earth was watered by a mist that rose up from the ground. Genesis 2:5-6 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. Although the Word doesn’t say so, I would imagine that Noah was laughed at, mocked, and ridiculed when the people saw what he was doing, and heard his account of what was coming! He must have had days where he asked God, is this really necessary, LORD? Did I really hear Your voice? But this mocking and his own doubts didn’t stop Noah, and it shouldn’t stop us either! He did exactly as the LORD asked him! Genesis 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. Though what Noah had been asked by the LORD to do must have been perplexing to him, He didn’t question it, because He reverenced God! Nosh is among those we read about in what has been called — the Bible’s Hall of Fame of Faith! Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Paul tells the church at Corinth that the preaching of what God did for us through Jesus sacrifice on the cross will seem like foolishness to those who are not saved, but we are to preach it none the less! 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. God’s Word and His ways are wiser than man’s! Man’s wisdom is foolishness to God, yet He uses man to preach His message, and to warn of the things to come! 1 Corinthians 1:25-29 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in His presence.

Father, Place Your hand on President Trump! Turn his heart in the way You would have him go! Turn his ears away from those who would give him ungodly advice! Tune his heart and his ears to hear only Your voice, Lord in Jesus Name!

Here’s what Job said in his trials! Job 23:10-12 But He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held His steps, His way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the Words of His mouth more than my necessary food. David said this! Psalm 66:10 For Thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. We go through many trials in life, but a great time of trial is coming on the entire earth! Hold fast the confession of your faith and you will receive the Crown of Life promised to Overcomers! Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. 1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a Crown of Life. If we finish the race of life well, we will receive our incorruptible Crown of Life! Paul spoke these Words to the church at Corinth! 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. Paul spoke these Words to Timothy, His son in the LORD! 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a Crown of Righteousness, which the LORD, the Righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing. When we receive our Crown — We will cast it at the feet of Jesus! I believe the elders in this scripture below are representative of all the saints of God! Revelation 4:10-11 The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O LORD, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created. Beloved — Don’t let anyone take your Crown! #EyesOnHim

Don’t Let Anyone Take Your Crown! Do you know that those who remain faithful to the LORD — To the end — Will receive a crown? Jesus in His revelation to John gave this warning! Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy Crown. In James we are told that if we endure — To the end we will receive the Crown of Life! James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the Crown of Life, which the LORD hath promised to them that love Him. Who will be able to endure the trials that are coming on the earth? How will we have the strength to overcome evil, and the father of evil, Satan? Beloved, We can’t in our own power or strength! We can only overcome evil by the blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of our testimony — Our testimony about what He has done for us by His sacrifice on the cross! We must maintain our testimony to the end of our lives — Even unto death! Revelation 12:9-11 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Jesus gave us an example to follow of One who did not love His life — even unto death! Philippians 2:7-8 But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Our testimony is this — I believe that Jesus died for my sins, and that I have eternal life with God through His sacrifice! He paid the penalty for my sins! And our testimony is not only mere words — Our life is a testimony of our love for God! If a person says they belong to Him, and that they love Him, but they don’t obey His Word — They are liars, and the Truth is not in them! Beloved, this doesn’t mean we won’t ever sin, we will, because we are in this human flesh, but we won’t walk in sin expecting the LORD to give us a Crown of Life! We will be quick to confess our sins to Him, and turn away from them! 1 John 2:1-6 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked. We will go through many trials in our lives, but He will be with us! He promises to keep us from the start of each trial we face in our lives — Even to the end! Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the Word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. The verb in the scripture above "I will keep", is “ek" and it is translated "from". The time period is "the hour of trial". The understanding then, is that God will keep us, from the beginning of the hour of trial onwards. This verse does not say that God will remove us from tribulation, but rather that He will keep us through it! John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Are you ready to be tried so that you might inherit eternal life with Him and the Crown of Life?

Father, We lift President Trump to You, asking that You see to his enemies! Lord, many falsely accuse and malign him, but Your Word says no weapon they use will succeed! Every word they speak will be used to condemn them in judgement! Encourage him with Your Word in Jesus Name!

These videos touched my heart! Please go to NTW’s telegram to see several videos he’s recently posted! And, ask the Lord if He would have you be a part in this ministry by supporting through prayer, and if you’re able financially as well! Thank you, Adam and Cayla for bring obedient to the Lord!

There is nothing better than when I get asked for hugs. She had tears in eyes. I don't care what they smell like or look like, I will never hesitate. Many times I am the one that asks for the hugs 🙂 There is no way to describe what it feels like when so many people living under those circumstances smile and light up just to feel loved briefly and not judged. It is emotionally overwhelming. Many hadn't eaten in a day or 2. Nobody deserves to starve. Thank you all so much for supporting our ministry 🙏💙 https://linktr.ee/newtestamentwarrior #ChristIsKing

Are You Regarding Iniquity in Your Heart? Beloved, I come to you today with a Word of admonition for each of us! A call to examine our hearts and allow the Holy Spirit to shine a light into every corner of our lives! The Word of the LORD to us says that if we regard iniquity in our hearts — the LORD will not hear us! Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear me. Isaiah 59:1-4 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Knowing this, beloved, ask Him to search you, and show you anything that you have allowed, or are allowing into your heart, and anything you are doing that grieves His Holy Spirit! When He shows you, confess your sin and pray as David did — Create in me a clean heart, LORD! Restore the joy of Thy salvation in my heart and don’t take Your Spirit from me! Psalm 51:2,10-12 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. [10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy free spirit. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I believe today the LORD would have us read and take to heart the Words of James! Let’s look together at the entire first chapter! James 1:1-27 James, a servant of God and of the LORD Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the LORD. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the LORD hath promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of Lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of His own will begat He us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect Law of Liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Did you listen carefully to the Words James wrote, and as you listened did the Holy Spirit convict you in any area of your personal life? Are you counting it all joy when you are walking through your trials? Are you asking the LORD to give you wisdom, but not really believing He will? If so you will receive nothing from Him according to this Word! Are you double minded, and wavering? Do you hear His Word, but instead of obeying it, make excuses for why you’re not doing so? Are you rich in the LORD, even though you might be poor physically? Or are you rich by earthly standards, but your heart boasts in your wealth, and abundance, yet you are poor spiritually? Are you learning patience and faith through your trials, or are you becoming bitter and resentful because of them? This Word says that if we endure our trials faithfully, we will receive the crown of life! This crown is only for those who love Him! And if you love Him — you will obey Him! John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments. So many say, I am a Christian, I love the LORD! But what do their fruits say? Do they bless the LORD, then turn and curse those around them? James 3:8-11 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Are you slow to speak, and slow to become angry? The Word in James says — man’s anger does not work God’s righteousness! It also says that we are not to be friends with an angry man! Proverbs 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go. If we are only — Hearers of the Word, but don’t walk in obedience to His Word, what does this Word say? It says that that we are deceiving ourselves! Are you bridling your tongue? Or are you speaking every thought that comes to your mind? What about your language? Does it glorify the LORD, or grieve Him? Do your words sound any different than those of people who aren’t Christians? Our words and our language do matter to the LORD! Ephesians 4:29-32 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Beloved — Are you unspotted from the world? To be unspotted means we are free from the sins of the world! We are walking in the fruits of the Spirit, found in Galatians 5! We are not regarding iniquity in our hearts! LORD, search the heart of each person that reads these Words, may we submit to Your will in our lives! Show us the things in our lives that grieve You! May we confess these iniquities and turn from them! May we submit to Your Spirit and keep ourselves unspotted from the world, in Jesus Name! #EyesOnHim
