Spiritual Warfare :: By Jim Towers

Whether we Christians realize it or not, we are in the fight for our lives with Satanic forces in the form of Democrats, eugenicists, Islamists, and the United Nations; and we had better take note.

While Christians all over the world are being killed, raped and incarcerated in many other countries, we Americans cower in the lap of luxury and doze in our gated communities. We American Christians have been so blessed by our overabundance that we barely notice.

Now though, with viruses getting out of hand, politics going awry, our economy unraveling and church leaders becoming apostate, many are beginning to wake up while others continue to doze off. Well, things aren’t going to get any better; and if they do, it will only be temporarily. We must make the most of small windows of opportunity to do what we can for one another. It is imperative to come together and do all we can to first spread the Glorious Gospel of Christ and to do all we can to encourage our weaker and younger brethren.

There is a place for you to be of help to others in these perilous times, you just have to find it.

The Bible says we all have gifts given to us as we are saved. (Mine is one of evangelism.) Yours may be one of sewing. Just sewing virus masks for the needy is something you can do. There is so much we can do with the resources we have; and the benefits to our sense of self-worth is exhilarating when we do what we should be doing for the kingdom of God.

I have a brother who – although he is a relatively new Christian – cooks for those in an assisted living facility on occasion; maybe you could do the same. But most of all, touch and encourage others – show them you care. A word of encouragement may make someone else’s day.

My gift is evangelism which I try to incorporate into my writings, which include at least two screenplays and one 240-page manuscript about my conversion and subsequent forty-year career in the movie industry. (I learned the ins and outs of moviemaking as a professional union actor and was a member of the American Film Institute as well.) I am using my gifts to reach out to others as best I can – believing that we are the soon-to-be raptured generation.

Filmmaking is the one thing I know about above all others, and so I will tell you a little about this endeavor.

My full-length theatrical film “PANIC” will be unabashedly open about the Gospel of Jesus Christ by openly quoting prophetic scripture throughout. The title of this screenplay is subject to change if and when a better title can be attached to this thought-provoking, informative and evangelical film.

This somber and true-to-life film will be entertaining as well as informative about the things of God and Bible prophecy – the characters often quoting scripture – word for word.

The texture of the film is at times harrowing – but true to life. However, graphic violence will not be depicted by excessive bloody gore – for the sake of sensationalism. Although true-to-life, there will also be no nudity or overtly profane language, just for shock value. Also, many quotes and clips from news sources will be incorporated in the film to make it utterly realistic – something all viewers can relate to.

Politics and religion will be kept at a minimum; and instead, the things that Jesus and the prophets taught about the end times will be brought to the fore, since people are seeking answers to the meaning of life and the hereafter. Nothing will be added that would water down the main message of repentance toward God in expectation of the rapture.

The object of this engaging movie is to encourage the viewers to seek God’s face in our immediate worldwide virus situation that instills fear and confusion.

Today, I posted this on my Facebook page to try to get others involved in making my outreach film.

Dear Facebook friends, I have always been fascinated with filmmaking; and by working with the best, I got to see firsthand how things are done in front of the camera and behind the scenes. As some of you know, I began writing screenplays years ago and wrote one that became a box office smash. The powers that be made a “Series” out of it; but alas, since I didn’t have a copyright on it, it was plagiarized. I’ve learned better since then. Now I am going out on a limb once again because I believe the timing is right to make a movie about the perilous times in which we live.

In this screenplay, I will be incorporating the things I know about prophetic scripture to help unbelievers see the light. (I feel that is my calling since I fear no one nor anything nor what they think of me.) Having failed twice, I may be a fool for trying one more time, but I have nothing better to do with what little time we may have left.

If you or someone you know is an investor or is film-savvy and would like to become involved – write me at jt.filmmaker@yahoo.com. for an outline and more information.

Dream Vs. Reality :: By Candy Austin

Ecclesiastes 5:7 “For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.”

When things first started happening with our oldest becoming a prodigal, this was something I would often say, “Never in a million years would I have dreamed that our family would have turned out this way!” It was ‘incredulous’ to me at the time. Even though there were signs of blatant rebellion all along the way, I truly did not think things would go this far though. Nevertheless, this is exactly what the enemy tries to do in our lives, which is to take our loved ones to extremes that we never thought they would go.

1 Peter 4:12 “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you.”

The Bible tells us that “what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal.” So, the reality is that the unseen realm is and will be more real than the temporary physical realm we are in now! As soon as we became Born-Again Believers in Jesus Christ, we became Soldiers in an Intense Spiritual Battle! One that has been furiously raging between God and Satan ever since time began! Therefore, we should not think it is strange that we are in such fiery trials that tests us. Battling trials is oftentimes used by God to strengthen our Faith.

Romans 5:3-5 “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

The Bible has a lot to say on dreams. God gave certain men the ability to interpret dreams mainly for His Divine Purposes. In our day and age, we should not opt to look into Dream Interpretations: (1) because they are usually misleading and (2) because doing such often leads into New Age practices. Dreams are a result of our subconscious mind sorting out the things that happen in our lives. Ultimately, we are to give our dreams to the LORD and choose to look into His Word for answers to our current reality instead.

Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Many times, I feel like our reality in this world is a nightmare that I wish we could finally wake up from! Seeing how we believe that God’s Word is True and that He is a God who keeps His Promises, the Believer can have the confidence that our Blessed Hope is a reality that will be fulfilled in God’s perfect timing! Once we are in Heaven and casting our Crowns at our Lord’s feet, our previous lives down here on Earth, to me, will seem like a bad dream that we finally got to wake up from! Especially for those of us who were locked into Intense Spiritual Battles during our time here! Oh, the Inexpressible, Unfathomable, and Incomprehensible ‘Fullness of Joy’ that eagerly awaits us in our future Reality and HOME! Can. Not. Wait!

Revelation 21:1-5 “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”

Revelation 22:3-7 “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the LORD God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

“Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.”

Until next time… Maranatha!

(JESUS = THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE)
