Revelation And The 7 Churches Continued...
May 31, 2016
Vol. 3 - One of apostle John’s visions tells us in the holy scriptures Satan still has access to the heavens. He was exiled from God’s heaven the 3rd heaven where God’s throne is. But he will be cast out of our heavens in due time. The scriptures tell us it will be about the middle of the 7 year tribulation period. This spiritual battle that will take place will be led by Michael the arch angel and his army of angels. Of all the power Satan has he will be defeated by Michael. Michael is an arch angel and has been chosen by God. The voice of the archangel that will be heard when Jesus is ready for the saints is Michael. Throughout the history of God’s dealings with mankind most human beings have been unaware of the prophetic times in which they have lived. At the first coming of Jesus to the cross many prophecies were fulfilled, yet most people missed it! The same thing is occurring right now. We are experiencing far more prophetic fulfillments than occurred the first time. People are unaware of what is happening around them. The 20th century was the cruelest and bloodiest century in the entire church age history of the human race. We are going through the prophecy of the 4 horses of Revelation. The black horse in Revelation 6:3-4 represents famine and drought. We are going to fast approach the end of the 3rd horse or 3rd seal are and nearing the beginning of the time of the Great Tribulation. Folks read this last book of the Bible there is so much to learn during our time. It will tell you how close it is for our lord and savior to return. When Jesus opened the 7 seals and 4 horses it was to sketch the outline of events in his church until his second coming. Folks it is close for the end of this age is here. Folks this is a prayer for all Americans; Oh God whose name was on the lips of the men who founded this nation and on the lips of men who died for it. Please be yet with us, guide us through this period of crisis, confusion and insecurity. Keep us steadfast in remembering the truths our forefathers lived by. Restore our innocence, renew our vision, enter our hearts and keep us brave. Give us as Americans the strength to do your work and to make this country worthy of your blessings, amen.

Good Ole Boys “Living In Our New Home”
One day when we lived on Canal Street, that’s across from highway 31 and highway 70, my friend John Thomas and I had an idea. He would get his older brother to buy us a whole carton of Winston cigarettes. He had just come home from prison and was willing to help us out. The idea was sound. We would just simply give him the money and he would get the cigarettes. Right? Not so easy. First we had to get the money so we decided to sell pop bottles. Back then you could sell glass pop bottles for as much as a nickel a piece. I’m not sure how much the carton of cigarettes cost, but I do know that we had to get a lot of coke bottles. So as you would imagine, we started our quest to get all the bottles we could. It seemed to take forever before we could get enough money to get those darn cigarettes, but the day finally came. The exchange was made and now we had a whole carton of Winston cigarettes to smoke. What’s so funny is that I had not really smoked before, hardly any. Both of my parents smoked and both of his parents smoked, but I had barely had a cigarette in my mouth. As I look back, I think John had probably smoked quite a bit. I think maybe he already had the habit. Anyway, I usually went along with his ideas. But remember, his mom was the one with all the cokes and he did live in a house with a/c. We lived almost at the end of Canal Street. If you go across highway 70 from highway 31 and keep going, we were the next to the last house on the left. The one I wrote about where I had the bad dream with the ceiling fan. John lived on Snow Street. Canal Street went north and south and Snow Street went east and west and was about 1000 feet north of where Canal Street ended. So, between my house and his was a big pasture. A lot of times we would just walk across that pasture to get to each other’s house. About half way between us was a giant tree that hurricane Donna had blown down years ago, so that was our usual meeting place when we were just getting out of the house. Having a whole carton of cigarettes was a good reason to call a little meeting at that old tree so John brought the cigarettes and the matches and we met under that old blown down tree. We were so happy with ourselves that we had out smarted everybody, that we had gotten away with the planning and the selling of bottles and the buying of the cigarettes without anybody knowing what we were doing. Of course my mom and dad had told me not to smoke cigarettes as well as his mom and dad had told him the same thing. But we saw them smoking and we just couldn’t see the problem. Do you know how many cigarettes are in a pack? I don’t remember. Or how many packs are in a carton? I don’t remember that either. We never got that far. Sure we sat there and lit one up after the other. We both just sat there smoking cigarette after cigarette, pack after pack. Just sitting and smoking, the two of us. Oh sure we were bragging, but all the time just a puffing. I don’t remember if we smoked two or three packs, but I do remember starting to feel a little sick, maybe a little green. Then all of a sudden it happened. I got sick first. I started throwing up, violently throwing up. At first, John just started laughing. He probably called me a wimp or something, not for very long though. Then he started throwing up too. We both got sick as dogs. I mean sick. I threw my stuff down and when I got a break from throwing up, I ran home. I didn’t look back. I think John did the same thing. I don’t remember who went back and got the rest of the cigarettes. I assume John did, because he continued to smoke after that, but I never did. That day was probably the reason I never started smoking. I guess that was a good thing that we did. I told my mom and dad about that years later. They just laughed.
