...Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee Revelation 11:13—12:1...
The blowing of the 7th trumpet ushers us chronologically right to the entrance of eternity. There’s a giant earthquake shaking Jerusalem, and people are furious with God because He is judging sin (they believed the “lie” that God never punishes). Meanwhile, we get a glimpse into the great joy that’s happening in heaven. So where would you rather be?

By His Will
“There came a leper and worshiped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.” Now this leper, when he came to the Lord Jesus, he didn’t come and say to Him, “Will you make me clean?” or, “Are you able to make me clean?” He came with faith. He said, “Lord” and he recognizes His lordship, and he says to Him, “If you will—if you will, you can make me clean.” Not always His will, friends. But if it’s His will, He can do it. And the will of God must come first.

...Daily Promises...
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Revelation 7:17)
Christ has made good His claim of being the good shepherd. He has led us from the land of death to the holy city, the great Mount Zion, to green pastures. He has led us to calm waters, to the river of life everlasting! He has been faithful to draw us from the valley of death and install us upon thrones of glory in the city of life!

I don’t care what you guys think of Bill Mitchell, he is absolutely right on this one. Whatever happens with Congress, we cannot afford to sit out the mid-terms because an anti-Christ DEM controlled government will be much worse. That should be reason enough to turn out and turn out every bit as strongly as we did for the 2024 Presidential election, even if the GOP and the Trump administration don’t do all that we want them to do. The current powers that be may very well far short, but what we have is still better than what we could otherwise have.

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (February 20th)
"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil." — Matthew 4:1
A Holy character does not avert temptation-Jesus was tempted. When Satan tempts us, his sparks fall upon tinder; but in Christ's case, it was like striking sparks on water; yet the enemy continued his evil work. Now, if the devil goes on striking when there is no result, how much more will he do it when he knows what inflammable stuff our hearts are made of. Though you become greatly sanctified by the Holy Ghost, expect that the great dog of hell will bark at you still. In the haunts of men we expect to be tempted, but even seclusion will not guard us from the same trial. Jesus Christ was led away from human society into the wilderness, and was tempted of the devil. Solitude has its charms and its benefits, and may be useful in checking the lust of the eye and the pride of life; but the devil will follow us into the most lovely retreats. Do not suppose that it is only the worldly-minded who have dreadful thoughts and blasphemous temptations, for even spiritual-minded persons endure the same; and in the holiest position we may suffer the darkest temptation. The utmost consecration of spirit will not insure you against Satanic temptation. Christ was consecrated through and through. It was His meat and drink to do the will of Him that sent Him: and yet He was tempted! Your hearts may glow with a seraphic flame of love to Jesus, and yet the devil will try to bring you down to Laodicean lukewarmness. If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation. Like the old knights in war time, we must sleep with helmet and breastplate buckled on, for the arch-deceiver will seize our first unguarded hour to make us his prey. The Lord keep us watchful in all seasons, and give us a final escape from the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear.

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (February 21st)
"He hath said." — Hebrews 13:5
If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God's covenant? Will not the distresses of life and the pangs of death; will not the corruptions within, and the snares without; will not the trials from above, and the temptations from beneath, all seem but light afflictions, when we can hide ourselves beneath the bulwark of "He hath said"? Yes; whether for delight in our quietude, or for strength in our conflict, "He hath said" must be our daily resort. And this may teach us the extreme value of searching the Scriptures. There may be a promise in the Word which would exactly fit your case, but you may not know of it, and therefore you miss its comfort. You are like prisoners in a dungeon, and there may be one key in the bunch which would unlock the door, and you might be free; but if you will not look for it, you may remain a prisoner still, though liberty is so near at hand. There may be a potent medicine in the great pharmacopoeia of Scripture, and you may yet continue sick unless you will examine and search the Scriptures to discover what "He hath said." Should you not, besides reading the Bible, store your memories richly with the promises of God? You can recollect the sayings of great men; you treasure up the verses of renowned poets; ought you not to be profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty, or overthrow a doubt? Since "He hath said" is the source of all wisdom, and the fountain of all comfort, let it dwell in you richly, as "A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life." So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life.
