Look Up Fellowship "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28

Heavenly Father, please have mercy on me and forgive me if I am writing out of turn here, or if I'm contributing to some kind of heresy. You know my heart, and You know that I'm only trying to discover the truth in accordance with what You tell me in Proverbs 25:2.

I readily admit that I could be way off base here (some would charge me with playing with fire to even express such thoughts publicly). If so, Lord have mercy on me and forgive me for my sins in that regard. My only wish is to share with others how an extremely newsworthy story a few weeks back has me searching the Scriptures in an attempt to figure out what it means.

Ultimately, it sent me on a fairly straightforward journey that led me to what I believe is a deeper understanding of You and Your holy Word. If nothing else, I've marveled once more by Your power and recognized how we are to always view You in awe and reverence. I pray that others begin to view the world around them with spiritual and eternal eyes, rather than always seeing the earthly, mundane, and physical characteristics.

Folks, something is going on in the skies above our heads. What began in Norway a few weeks ago has continued and we've suddenly seen a significant surge in similar cases around the world in just the past few days alone.

I've already tried to demonstrate throughout 2009 all the reasons why I believe we're being primed for some type of 'Alien/UFO' and/or 'Full Disclosure' event, which will more or less be nothing more than the acknowledgement that 'We're Not Alone' even though it's really a spiritually demonic phenomenon seen and understood by those of us with ears to hear and eyes to see.

Today, I want to attempt to outline the many reasons why I believe that the unusual incident in Europe (the 'Norway Spiral') was a harbinger of what's coming any day now. Whether the 'what's coming any day now' is 'Full Disclosure' or some kind on unexpected spiritual event on par with a flood of demonic forces (sold to us as something completely non-spiritual no doubt) remains to be seen, and it's really not what's important here.

What's important is that it seems like the 'conditioning process' is almost complete. In this entry, I just want to share with you some new video evidence that's gaining in popularity on the Internet that certainly applies to this entire discussion. As you'll soon see, all of it leaves us wondering if we're on the cusp of some paradigm shifting, global event sold to us as a cosmic phenomenon rather than a spiritual one.


FROM NORWAY TO NORTH AMERICA...


Almost immediately following the situation in Norway that had everyone talking other stories and videos emerged of similar types of unexplained images/lights in the sky.

First, we heard from South America that a high profile event of their own occurred on the same day as the 'Norway Spiral', but it didn't get any attention:

'UFO Armada' Over South America Same Day As Norway Spiral?



Then we heard from China (with some old footage):

UFO Wormhole Spiral In China (Same As Norway!)



Certainly, that is unusual and unexpected -- seeing similar images/objects in the sky from different parts of the world at different periods in time. As we'll see later, this 'spiral' stuff isn't as uncommon as you might think it is. It actually has its roots in ancient times.

Next, Russia chimed in with a 'Floating Pyramid' over Moscow. I must admit that this is the one video out of all of them that I'm the most skeptical about. Even so, it's worth sharing.

Pyramid UFO Over Kremlin Russia?



Within days, there other unexplained sightings around the globe:

Wormhole In Canada? - December 15, 2009



Apparently, there was even another unexplained aerial phenomenon in Norway on 12/22 -- just a few days ago! Only this time, it was what's been called a 'Spinning Cross':

The Norway 'Spinning Cross' - December 22, 2009



Like the person who originally posted this on another forum I visit, I was just about to dismiss this one because throughout the video, they didn't give us any frame of reference as to where the ground was. Thankfully, that came at the very end of the video clip. That's why I ultimately decided to share it.

Crosses in the sky captured on film are nothing new, but probably the most famous was this one out of Russia (them again?) from back in 2007:

Cross In The Sky In Russia - 2007



It's enough to make your head explode, but we must press on.

Ok, so the 'Norway Spiral' appeared on December 8th. The 'Norway Spinning Cross' appeared on December 22nd. A related series of videos was posted to YouTube on December 7th -- or the day before the now infamous 'Spiral' event!

I found that Hessedalen, Norway is known for what's called the 'Hessedalen Light Phenomenon', which the Norwegian TV series 'The Portal' explored. Below is Part 1 of that episode that claims the 'Aliens' have an underground base in Hessedalen, Norway.

UFO Hessedalen, Norway (Clip 1)



UFO Hessedalen, Norway (Clip 2)

UFO Hessedalen, Norway (Clip 3)

UFO Hessedalen, Norway (Clip 4)

UFO Hessedalen, Norway (Clip 5)

Now, I'm not sure if this documentary was filmed long before and it was merely posted to the video sharing site on that day, or if it was recorded (or it aired on TV) and was posted to YouTube on that same day. Either way, I believe that this is more compelling proof that the 'Norway Spiral' wasn't the first case of high strangeness in Norway connected, and the fact that now this establishes that it could be connected to the entire so-called 'Alien/UFO' phenomenon is another big clue for us I think.

Would you believe that on December 21st another strange light in the sky was filmed? This time it was over the state of California here in the United States:

'Mysterious Light' / 'UFO' Filmed In California - December 21, 2009



Surprisingly, the timeframe of December 21st - December 23rd saw a number of 'UFOs' filmed and posted on YouTube from around the world (just do a quick search for yourself). Here's a quick sample:

Not to be outdone by this phenomenon that appears to be reaching a climax, a new channel has appeared on YouTube within the past few days by user 'OVNISLP'. I only bring that up because this user has made available a collection of videos (all having to do with this persistent 'Alien/UFO Meme') that are so captivating that it's clear why they're quickly going viral.

For instance, check out this stunning footage that was all apparently captured on film in 2009, but never before seen by the world at large until now:

Mexican 'Sky Serpent' - March 2009



'UFO' Captured On Film By Brazilian TV Crew - October 2009



Isn't that a perfect way to end 2009 though? I mean, a look back on the year reveals so many strange aerial phenomena that we would be hard pressed to ignore it all as being merely the results of reflections of shadow and light. There's no doubt in my mind that something else is going on here with all of these cases, and whether it's man-made or not the goal is always the same -- to deceive as many people as possible and use fear as the weapon of choice.

Another video I just came across that I don't think we've ever presented here before is the one of 'multiple suns' in Russia (what is it with that place?). Have a look:

Multiple Suns In Russia



I don't want to get too carried away here with all of this, but I think it's obvious by now that we've already entered the final stages of the 'conditioning process' that hopes to get us to not only accept, but to be ok with cohabiting with the 'Aliens' who are coming sooner rather than later.

For emphasis, whether it's ultimately man (acting out of loyalty to Satan) or Satan himself (doing things on his own and using whatever free reign the Lord gives him) King Wells alerted me to another spiral caught on film! This time is was from Thailand and it took place only a couple of days after the Norway incident.

Norway Spiral Mystery Now in Thailand Sky!



I truly believe this is something that appeared in the skies there and that it's not some 'doctored' or 'photoshopped' video because that scream and hysterical response from the woman sounds too real to be faked. Sure, it could still be a 'Project Blue Beam' test, but she definitely saw this in the sky there -- whatever it was.

More than ever, we need to ground ourselves in God's Word and prepare for the spiritual war that is on the horizon because it will be unlike anything we've ever experienced let along anything we could ever imagine.


THE BOOK OF REVELATION AS OUR GUIDE


Are the stars in Revelation literal or symbolic?

That's a question I think we seriously need to be asking ourselves these days especially in light of our recent studies here particularly those involving the 'Norway Spiral' and Maitreya connection.

A funny thing happened the other day. I decided to work my way through some 200+ emails that were just sitting dormant in my mailbox. The email that sat there the longest was one from Chris G who sent me his take on this very subject way back on July 7th.

What follows is his analysis in italics. Let's look at that before commenting:


There are some believers out there who consider the star 'Wormwood' in Revelation 9 to be a literal star that wreaks havoc on the earth in the last days. The story goes that the star is inbound, headed toward our solar system, and is a brown dwarf that even now is having some minor influence on our earth and as it draws nearer, natural disasters will escalate. Now, after reading some of the stuff I will say that it is very interesting.

However, the first thing that should be established is the question of -- How are we to take the verses in Revelation that speak of the star 'Wormwood'? Is this literally a star in the sense that our sun is a star; or do these verses demand a symbolic interpretation?

Here are all the instances where a star, or stars, are mentioned in Revelation...

Revelation 9:1 - "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit." (Star=angel)

Revelation 22:16 - "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star." (Star=Jesus)

Revelation 2:28 - "And I will give him the morning star." (Star=Jesus - see above)

Revelation 1:16 - "And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength."

Revelation 1:20 - "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches." (Stars=angels or messengers)

Revelation 2:1 - "Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks" (See above)

Revelation 3:1 - "And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead." (See above)

Revelation 12:4 - "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." (Stars=fallen angels most likely)

Revelation 6:13 - "And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind." (See above)

Revelation 8:12 - "And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise." (See above)

Revelation 12:1 - "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:" (Stars may represent the 12 tribes/patriarchs of Israel or the 12 apostles or both)

As you can see, the stars of Revelation to this point are all symbolic of something else. Not literal stars. So...

Revelation 8:10-11 - "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."

Why would we adopt a literal star interpretation here? If Scripture interprets Scripture (and it does), then we must adopt a symbolic interpretation to the above passage. Wormwood is an angel, not a literal star.

Here is a verse in Daniel to consider as well.

Daniel 8:10 - "And it (little horn/antichrist) waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them."

For the rest of the story, see the following studies HERE and HERE.


Wow! How did that hit you? I must say that he makes a very compelling case, right? The reason I wanted to call attention to this today (and I believe it's also the reason why that email sat in my mailbox for 5 months until I was supposed to finally come back to it at this precise moment in time) is because it supports another thread I've been following with this whole 'Norway Spiral' business.

In no uncertain terms, what if the 'Norway Spiral' was a legitimate 'signal' (i.e. 'warning') that the prophesied 'Destroyer' is about to return any day now? Think of 'Batman' and the 'Bat Signal' in the night sky that summons him.

'Who's the Destroyer', you ask? In several passages of the Holy Bible, the word designates a supernatural agent of destruction, or destroying angel, executing divine judgment.

In Exodus 12:23, of the 'destroyer' who smote the first-born in Egypt, again referred to under the same title in Hebrews 11:28 as 'he that destroyed'. In Job 33:22, 'the destroyers' (literally, 'they that cause to die') are the equivalent of the angels of death that are ready to take away a man's life during severe illness.

No exact parallel to this is found in the Old Testament. The nearest approach is 'the angel that destroyed the people' by pestilence (2 Samuel 24:16,17 parallel 1 Chronicles 21:15,16); the angel that smote the Assyrians (2 Kings 19:35 = Isaiah 37:36 parallel 2 Chronicles 32:21); 'angels of evil' (Psalm 78:49).

In the Apocrypha, 'the destroyer' is once referred to as 'the minister of punishment' (literally, 'him who was punishing'), who brought death into the world (The Wisdom of Solomon 18:22-25).

In 1 Corinthians 10:10, 'the destroyer' is the angelic agent to whose instrumentality Paul attributes the plague of Numbers 16:46-49.

In later Jewish theology (the Targums and Midrash), the 'destroyer' or 'angel of death' appears under the name 'Sammael' (i.e. 'the poison of God'), who was once an Archangel before the throne of God, and who caused the serpent to tempt Eve. According to some, he is not to be distinguished from Satan.

The chief distinction between the 'destroyer' of early thought and the Sammael of later Judaism is that the former was regarded as the emissary of Yahweh, and subservient to His will, and sometimes was not clearly distinguished from Yahweh Himself, whereas the latter was regarded as a perfectly distinct individuality, acting in independence or semi-independence, and from purely malicious and evil motives. The change was largely due to the influence of Persian dualism, which made good and evil to be independent powers.

As powerful and relevant those discoveries are to us students of Bible prophecy there's more. The infamous 'Abaddon' or 'Apollyon' from the Book of Revelation has been called 'The Destroyer' too!


In case you're head's spinning so much from all of these rapid fire revelations, let's remind ourselves that that means he's also the king of tormenting locusts and the Angel of the Bottomless Pit.

Although there is still some debate, one view holds that one of God's punishments against humanity for their proud, sinful ways and their refusal to acknowledge Him as the true God, is chronicled in Revelation 9:1-11, which will be the release of the depraved demons and fallen angels currently locked in the Abyss. The Bible teaches that the Abyss is a spirit prison (Luke 8:31; 1 Peter 3:19; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6). In the Abyss, some of the fallen angels are now bound in 'everlasting chains under darkness' waiting 'for the judgment of the great day'.

Let's start by reviewing the event that will allow this powerful fallen angel entrance into the world. This occurrence is recorded in Revelation 9:1-11. To rightly understand who this 'king of the bottomless pit' is, it's vital to correctly interpret what this passage is saying. We must be guided by Scripture, not our imagination.

First, notice that at the sounding of the Fifth Trumpet, an angel ('star') descends out of heaven to the earth. This angel has in his possession a key to the Abyss (also called the 'bottomless pit'). With this key, the angel unlocks the Abyss.

So, if the premise that I'm about to present is on point (and his appearance in this world is imminent), then that would mean that the first Four Trumpets will need to happen first -- after the Seven Seals of course.

That brings up the whole issue of how quickly one judgment follows the other here in the real world. For the most part, we've seen from past studies that the Seven Seals and Seven Trumpets make up the Tribulation. most likely will be lightning quick leaving the world breathless and eager for a savior to emerge with all the answers to the world's problems.

Please watch this before we continue:

The 'Destroyer' Is Coming NOW! Planet X Spiral



What Did The Ancients Think Of Spirals In Their Petroglyphs?



What these two film clips suggest is that this 'Norway Spiral' event was the same exact thing the ancients warned us about in various depictions found in art, architecture, cave art, and paintings -- a giant spiral in the sky! Furthermore, all the ancient so-called 'mythology' about 'dragons', 'serpents', 'horned devils', 'demons', 'satan' -- all come from comets (one in particular).

In essence, these videos show a few of MANY petroglyphs around the world that tell seem to be telling us the same story. It's led some to conclude that the infamous 'Norway Spiral' is dangerous. Specifically, that when you see the spiral you should run to the hills and/or run for cover wherever you can find it.

Now, a little levity is called for here. Obviously, this spiral showed up in Norway and nothing catastrophic happened. After all, last I checked, Norway was still on the map following this incident. Still, I wonder if maybe this is a sign of what's coming.

What's remarkable to me after seeing this new evidence is how we just looked at how Norway is no stranger to weird and unusual 'objects' in the sky. In fact, it has a rich history of 'UFO' activity which therefore establishes a possible link between it and the spiral incident.

Now, you probably noticed how the title of the above video included 'Planet X' (synonymous with 'Nibiru' lore). Why is that a fascinating mention here in the context of this discussion? Two reasons.

First, remember all of that 'Red Cross' conjecture following the Tiger Woods-President Obama series? Check this out (taken on December 13, 2009):

Nibiru Red Cross Photo - Planet X - SOHO



This next part will take what's left of your mind and shake it up even more.

Strangely enough, this 'Red Plus' matches a curious image on NASA's STS-126 Mission Patch. NASA says the red star in the logo is meant to be Mars, but that's a pretty weird coincidence (just do your own Google Search for 'STS-126 Patch').



Know what else is a 'weird coincidence' regarding that mission? A tradition for NASA human spaceflights since the days of Gemini, mission crews are played a special musical track at the start of each day in space. Each track is specially chosen, often by their families, and usually has a special meaning to an individual member of the crew, or is applicable to their daily activities.

Here's the complete list of 'Wake Up Calls', but was surreal is how one of the 16 songs on that list is one called 'North Sea Oil' by Jethro Tull.

Here's a map of the North Sea:



Ok, maybe it's just me, but isn't it supposed to be HIGHLY UNLIKELY that we would find a connection between the 'Norway Spiral', which led us to 'Nibiru/Planet X', which is often represented by a 'Red Cross', which is an odd image on a NASA Mission Patch from November 2008, and that one of the 'Wake Up Calls' is a song titled 'North Sea Oil' (out of all the songs ever recorded that's what they picked!?!), which brings us full circle back to where this entire thought process started -- Norway.

The second reason why this mention of 'Nibiru'/'Planet X' is intriguing? You have to wonder if our governments are covering this up. No, wait, they already know and that's why they have built all those underground bunkers to save themselves -- in Norway of all places!

In case you mistrust the written word, here's a report that aired just over 1 year ago on CNN:

CNN - Norway Shows Underground Seed Vault For The First Time



And this for good measure:

Doomsday Vault Protects World's Seeds on '60 Minutes'



Let's also keep in mind that the Seed 'Doomsday' Vault just opened on February 26, 2008, or relatively recently. Some might say it opened just in time.

How do we explain all of this? I'm not sure. All I know that being a Christian and having a Biblical worldview means that I will always believe there's a spiritual explanation even if we're never meant to know the truth in this life.

Perhaps a good way to close this section is to share another video or two. This one was posted to YouTube on December 13th as well and it takes another look at that 'Norway Spiral' while adding this 'Destroyer' info to the mix.

Norway Spiral Is A Black Hole! Planet X/Nibiru - The Destroyer Is Close!



Another suggests a coverup at the highest levels of power:

Proof NASA Is Trying To Cover Up The Source Of The Norway Spiral!



Now, just because I include these videos for you to view doesn't mean I agree with the assertions and the material that's presented 100% of the time. Yet, there's always enough merit to justify their inclusion in a discussion like this. Besides, my goal is to simply inform you about what's out there. Take it all under prayerful consideration to our Lord.

I will say that I found the juxtaposition of the song 'Black Hole Sun' with the video and the subject matter to be extremely appropriate especially given us extensive look at pop culture's role in these end times. Plus, did you notice that the only time they flashed lyrics from the song on the screen it evoked thoughts of a Rapture event (or what those who are left in this world might point to explain away the Rapture along the lines of, "Oh, it was that Spiral Black Hole that caused everyone to disappear. They must've got sucked into it when the Earth passed through it.")

Hey, that reminds me! I think we might want to revist that Crop Circle from back in May that created so much buzz. You know, the one that eerily resembled the 'Eye of Jupiter' from a Battlestar Galactica series of episodes that was called...'Rapture'! Believe it or not, it resembles a spiral too!


SPECULATIVE CONCLUSIONS


It's easy to dismiss all of this as nothing more than 'strange coincidences' despite all the archaeological and historical -- most importantly, Biblical -- evidence to the contrary.

We cannot possibly even begin to imagine what our lives would be like if we're right about any of this (even if just a fraction) because we've never experienced such a scenario as our reality. All we have to fall back on is what we've seen on TV and in the movies about this subject.

That's my point! We've been CONDITIONED to not only accept this sort of thing as our destiny, but we've also been CONDITIONED as to what our proper response should be as we recall how our favorite characters (played by our favorite actors and actresses) responded. When that day comes, and we fall in line like dutiful little soldiers by responding accordingly (and calling out to a political leader and his government to act as our savior), it will be 'mission accomplished' in our enemy's eyes.

Whatever you believe about this subject as a Christian there's no denying how prevalent these motifs and themes are nowadays. For instance, even yesterday's Top Headlines placed our world, space, and Ancient Egyptian gods front-and-center.

First, it was the news that the Earth's North Magnetic Pole is racing towards Russia due to a Core Flux. Here's a question: Could it be due to the coming arrival and close proximity of 'Nibiru'/'Planet X' rather than a 'Core Flux'? Also, as reported: Russia Targets Asteroid Headed For Earth.

Once again, we have our usual suspect -- Russia -- who can't seem to keep her name out of these discussions involving the cosmic, paranormal, and supernatural. We also have mention of the Asteroid they want to target with this mission (the subject of the second headline and story referenced) -- it's named 'Apophis', which is also timely given this study today.

Why? Because in Egyptian mythology, Apep (also spelled Apepi, and Aapep, or Apophis in Greek) was an evil demon, the deification of darkness and chaos (isfet in Egyptian), and thus opponent of light and Ma'at (order/truth), whose existence was believed from the Middle Kingdom onwards.

As the personification of all that was evil, Apophis was seen as a giant snake/serpent, crocodile, or occasionally as a dragon in later years, leading to such titles as 'Serpent From The Nile' and 'Evil Lizard'. Some elaborations even said that he stretched 16 yards in length and had a head made of flint.

Maybe we don't even have to go that far in illustrating this point. All we needed to do was look at the official logo for the recent Copenhagen Summit that was taking place simultaneously with the Norway Spiral:
It's almost like they knew this blue ball of light in a spiral form was going to form in the sky just prior to the world's leader meeting in Denmark. Personally, I thought the logo of the conference looks rather like one of those SOHO infrared images of the Sun we looked at earlier. Odd indeed!

So, there you have it. As always, and with most things these days, the convergence is apparent. At least, to this crazy redhead it is. Is this really a case of divine/spiritual manifestation to advance us along God's prophetic timeline? Or are we perhaps being given a great theatrical show by The-Powers-That-Be intended to convince us Christians that our prophecies are being (or are about to be) fulfilled?

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if I'm 'right' or 'wrong' about all of this. I engage in these types of discussions and studies because I already know that God has intervened in my life -- on more than one occasion -- in very real and personal ways, defying all expectation and logic. Given that fact, and given the fact that I have an intense interest in end times Bible prophecy (so that I can demonstrate to people how time is short and they need to accept Jesus Christ today), I'm constantly fascinated by these sorts of unexplained connections.

The only thing that matters, however, is your current relationship with Jesus. Repent! Seek the Lord's face! Pray for the blood of Jesus Christ to wash over you and yours, and for it to protect you, and that you are counted worthy to escape the things to come because it's certainly coming, and it's coming fast!

Regardless of where you're coming from as you visit this site please join me in saying one of the following prayers since one of them will most certainly apply:

"Father God, I know I need You because I am a sinner, but also know that I can never get to You on my own. There's nothing I can do on my own to make up for my sins; nothing I could do on my own to earn favor and forgiveness from You or to secure my place in Heaven when I die. The only thing I can do is to make a conscious decision that You sent Your one and only Son Jesus Christ, and that He came to this world for me. He took my sins upon Himself, was crucified in my place, died for me, and was resurrected so that I may live forever. I accept Him and His sacrifice, and desperately want to receive Your Son Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. When He conquered death for my sake He gave me access to You. Thank You for Your grace and Your mercy. Thank You for forgiving me and for sending the Holy Spirit to transform my life from this moment forward. I pray that You transform my life from this day forward and give me a heart and a mind that desires to not only get to know You, but to be with You as much as possible. Teach me how to live, and teach me how to share this message with others before it's too late for them. Please count me worthy to escape the things to come. Amen."

If you're already a saved Christian, but you haven't repented for your sins or sought the Lord for His mercy, forgiveness, salvation, or prayed that you are counted worthy to escape the things to come as we're instructed to, if you haven't done all these things in awhile, then please say the following prayer right now:

"Dear Lord, I pray that you will not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Please think of me according to Your mercy and for Your goodness' sake, O Lord. Lord I turn from all of those sins that I committed and I ask for Your help in washing the memory and thoughts of that sin completely from my mind. Please restore me to faithful obedience to Your Word, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit anew, so that I may keep Your commands all the days of my life. Lord Jesus, I invite you into my heart anew today, and I ask forgiveness for all of my sin. Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins and for forgiving me of them through your shed blood for me on the cross. Please take away all the sinful 'old things' in my heart that defile me, and replace them with the 'good things' that you desire to grow in to my life. Please wash away all the sinful crud and tendencies toward evil and replace them with a hunger and thirst for your righteousness. I need your help, Lord God, in living this new life in Christ. Please send your Holy Spirit afresh into my life to help me, heal me, lead me and transform me. I also pray that your shed blood washes over me, protects me, and that I am counted worthy to escape the things that are coming upon this world in the form of your righteous judgment. Lastly, I pray that you have mercy on this nation even though we deserve your fierce judgment for our blatant sins that are before you. Help us to see the error in our ways as individuals and as a nation, and lead us to repentance before it's too late for us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

Now that we're back on the right track in this life let's all use what little precious time we have left drawing that much closer to God while sharing His life-saving message with as many people as we can before it's too late for us and too late for them.

Remember that if you're worth dying for, then He's worth living for. Begin a new life in Jesus Christ today and commit to getting to know Him and serving Him daily.

Keep looking up. Come quickly Lord.
