Revelation 5

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/The-Lion-of-the-Tribe-of-Judah.bmp

I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?”

And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.

Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it;

and one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.”

And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

“You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.”

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,

saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”

And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”

And the four living creatures kept saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

Special Report from Ray: The Presidential Race for 2016

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Republican_vs_Democrat.jpg

Hello America. Hello world.

From the headquarters of reachmorenow.com in Fort Worth, Texas, this is Ray Mossholder and this is a special report: The Presidential Race for 2016.

Now that the new Congress is in session and all of the candidates have been declared official, political minds are turning quickly to the 2016 presidential race. Several obvious hats are already in the mix of possibilities. I predict right now that the new president would, if we knew who they will be, would bring a shock to us at this moment because it’s by far the most likely to be a person most Americans aren’t centering their attention on right now.

Of course, there are many both nationally and internationally who don’t believe there ever will be an election in America in 2016. Among those startlingly is a great deal of the worldwide news media. Way over half of the excellent news services that I use are predicting cataclysmic event financially in America this year and many don’t stop there. They predict that America will have much more than a 9/11 incident this year. ISIL, Al Qaeda, and other terrorist goon squads are warning our nation that they are coming and that many are already here with enough power to level one or more of our major cities. What makes these Muslim terrorists so threatening is that they are the first people in history who want to die. They are fearless because they love death much more than life.

Russia, North Korea, and several other nations who have weapons of mass destruction are warning America that they will cause havoc and chaos in the United States sometime this year.

As for a possible financial collapse, the Christian seer Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and the highly respected pastor John Hagee have gone so far as to say that collapse will take place before this coming September 23rd. They cite biblical reasons for believing this. Since our national debt is now more than 20 trillion dollars and growing by thousands of dollars every second, there is little to rescue us from these predictions. That amount, if it could be frozen solid today, wouldn’t help us. We are way over a sustainable debt. Only God can save us and few in our present government are asking Him to do that. Most of them want God gone completely from our nation.

Conspiracy theorists believe that President Obama doesn’t intend to leave office at all in 2016, not even to make room for Hillary. They believe that our president is in on everything that’s happening and that he intends to declare martial law throughout the nation at the point of America being attacked. Many go further and believe all of the wars and rumors of wars are being orchestrated by world leaders who are working to form a New World Order – a one world government that will do away with all national laws worldwide and replace them with their own.

Finally, there are those Christian teachers who have studied end –time prophecy who believe we are about to experience to events – the second coming of Christ and Armageddon. Although it is true that people, including major Christian teachers, have predicted Christ’s return from the first century on, never have we had all of the elements in place that the Bible predicts will be present at Christ’s return. Hal Lindsey, Jonathan Cahn and John Hagee are at the top of the list saying there is not one thing more that the Bible predicts will happen before our Lord comes. Israel returning to its homeland, nuclear power capable of destroying the whole earth, the world’s rejection of Jesus Christ, and the Bible itself that is so full of prophecies, seem to indicate the signs of the time are with us at this moment.

But let’s lay all that aside and focus on the candidates who most likely will be running for president of the United States in the next few months. This is a lengthy list:

Among the Democrat front runners and way ahead of the pack at this moment is Hillary Clinton. Dogging at her heels is Elizabeth Warren in case Hillary decides not to run. Julian Castro. Vice President Joe Biden is a distant fourth. But although they have not declared themselves as potential candidates but had hinted at it, there is a murmuring in the bushes that Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York, Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland, Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, New York Senator Kirsten Hildebrand, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker.

The undeclared front runners right now for the Democratic Party are Mitt Romney, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Governor Scott Brown, Texas Governor Perry, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, Ohio Governor John Kasich, South Dakota Senator John Thune, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, Dr. Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, and former Ambassador John Bolton.

If you are now asking “Who are some of these people?” you’re not alone. Many of the names I’ve mentioned, even if they are in Congress, are little-known beyond their own state. All of the people I’ve mentioned will not necessarily run and if they do, some of them will be more easily caught than others. And there may be a dark horse still invisible who will run to the finish line ahead of them all.

What this report has done is to kick off the 2016 horserace. And here is my promise – as each candidate does throw their hat into the ring, I will give you a strong profile of them. And I will cover the 2016 election from start to finish unless America or the world ends first!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

These are difficult days for politicians. With the ways our nation’s morals have changed they can lose an election by speaking in favor of motherhood.

Make room for a miracle #2 – A powerful testimony from Allison Sims

Find Dave Crissman’s post among the front pictures on reachmorenow.com and this personal letter will mean even more to you. –Ray

From: Allison Sims <allieh@surewest.net>

Date: January 10, 2015 10:26:20 PM PST

Hi David,

One of the biggest parts of the miracle the Lord did for us was this:  it wasn’t just that I had previous miscarriages, it was that I had our daughter at age 44; one year after the doctors told me to enjoy traveling with my husband because even in the fertility clinic, women didn’t get pregnant after age 43.  I had her at 44 just by the grace of God.  No medical intervention.

Here’s the rest of the story.

I’ve had 5 miscarriages in all from age 39 to 46.  The first time you are pregnant you say to yourself, “I’m pregnant and I’m going to have a baby.”  After a miscarriage, you tell yourself, “I’m pregnant and I might have a baby.” It’s a heart wrenching roller coaster ride.  Except for our miracle pregnancy, the first trimester ultrasound always signaled the beginning of the end:  no heart beat. I have buried 2 tiny, tiny ones in my backyard so that they would not end up down a drain.  One pregnancy sadly required a D & C but from the genetic testing we at least know we have a daughter in heaven.  After our miracle birth, we also had another little one enter heaven, when I was 46 no less!  Through all of this we decided not to pursue fertility treatment.  We did not want to find ourselves carrying 3-4 for embryos only to have a doctor tell us that we’d have to select which one we wanted.  That was not for me.

As difficult as these experiences were, I treasured all of them.  With each pregnancy, I did not withhold the Wonderful News until after the first trimester as some do.  In my way of thinking, every child conceived deserved to be celebrated and each passing deserved the honor of mourning. In the family of Christ, why should we be alone in this?  I did O.K. for awhile but it’s not that I didn’t have my days of near insanity.  The neighbor next door was having twins through a surrogate—one of them died, our dear friends who also struggled with infertility, were pregnant.  My sadness paralleled my joy for them.  I remember “losing it” one December 5^th as we decorated the Christmas tree.  Later that evening, at dinner with two couples with whom we attended a wedding of my husband’s old high school chum; both announced they were pregnant. I felt a volcano whelm up in me that I could barely contain.  After that, I was a wild woman for nearly a month.  My grief was so intense, I just had to let go.

Finally through God’s grace, my husband and I decided that our future with children was behind one of three doors the Lord would open up for us.  Behind Door Number One:  God would give us our own child; Door Number two:  He’d give us a desire to adopt that we just couldn’t shake (my husband was not crazy about this option) or Door Number Three:  We’d bless other’s children.  It was completely in His hands.  I accepted Door Number Three.  I just had to.

Then our mutual friend (a.k.a. David Crissman) reminded me of the little shoes I had dared purchase at a garage sale.  He told us that God was speaking to him about “making room” for the miracles He desired to give us.  David read Isaiah 54:2,“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.”  He told us that if we wanted a child we’d have to prepare a place for him or her.  By faith, I clean out the closets of our guest room to prepare for a nursery.  When offered a great deal on a used massage table I had planned on putting in the guest room, I passed it up and instead put the money in the bank to save for baby supplies.

In March, we went to Kauai, Hawaii with two couples from church. As I prepared to go that week, something unusual happened.  I started my period 3 days early.  Now I know this is personal but miscarriages withstanding, I was always regular.  That was never an issue.  I thought, “Well that’s nice Lord, I won’t have to deal with it on the plane.”  I did not understand that this was not just for my convenience but I did make mental note of it.  Half way through the week I remember staying in the condo one afternoon feeling sorry for myself while my friends were sunning at the pool.  As I looked out from our Lanai, I thought, “Two blonds and a blimp” as I had gained and not lost weight with each failed pregnancy.  Then I asked the Lord, “If I cannot have a child, can I at least have a normal weight again?”  Following our trip, my husband resumed his out-of-town work schedule but this time he was actually in-town when I apparently ovulated, thanks to the sovereign intervention of the Lord over my body.  A couple of weeks later, I was outside trimming the roses and thinking what a good man my husband was and how wonderful he would have been as a father.  That night as the sides of the soft down pillow folded over my ears, I heard the providence of the Lord in the undeniable strength of the beat in my heart.  A heart beat that loud and strong, yet calm and steady means only one thing.  I was having a baby!  I knew this was different from any other pregnancy.  I knew in an instant why I had started early.  I knew who orchestrated it.  I never again said I was pregnant; only that I was having a baby.  And have a baby I did; two weeks before Christmas 2000.

As we look into the eyes of our beautiful 14 year old daughter and see the lovely young lady of God she is becoming, I can’t help but be so thankful to the Lord for His loving kindness toward us and His sovereign good will and plan for our daughter in His kingdom.  How glad I am that I made room for His miracle.

Acts 19:1-12 The baptism in the Holy Spirit

Paul at Ephesus

Acts 19:1-12 KJV – 1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard [this], they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 7 And all the men were about twelve. 8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. 9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. 11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: 12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

Revelation 4

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/4-Living-Creatures-Recovered.jpg

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.”

Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne.

And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads.

Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME.”

And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever,

the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

“Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”
