Hi everyone! I am posting this to ask what ministries and ministers bless, encourage, and help you in your walk with the Lord? ... I know there are differences, and with some there might be questions about a particular doctrine or approach. But even with a possible qualification or two with some, who are some that are a blessing to you and that you appreciate? My Lord Jesus Christ and my KJV Bible are my Saviour and guide, no one is on par with that, of course. But having said that, I am blessed by: Elizabeth Marie (this latterrain333 site) God’s Handmaiden (on Youtube also) Church in the Wilderness (Sister Beverly) Pastor Benjamin Faircloth Pastor David Lankford There are many others, but these five are amongst the most instructional and encouraging to me! Any that bless you? .... in Christ Jesus, Dale

Does anyone else find that one of the greatest obstacles to serving the Lord and doing His will to be the uncommitted walk and lifestyles of family members and loved ones (either lukewarm believers or completely lost) that are antagonistic to your Biblical commitment? And that they are constantly bringing you down from what you know you should be doing or how you should be living? I’d love to hear responses to this .... in Christ, Dale

I just wanted to write a word of encouragement to all the remnant and believing saints out there that may be discouraged, lonely, and uncertain. I am blessed to live in a time when this technology can be used to bring like-minded believers together, even as things ramp up and become more difficult in these last days. Jesus knows where you are at, but He longs to bring you closer to Himself, thru the Scriptures, prayer, and the encouragement of other remnant saints. Please be encouraged and look up. Take advantage of the internet technologies to build yourself up in the Word of God. In Jesus’ name, amen! Dale in Vermont

I believe Abe Lincoln said “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” So with that, I believe God laid this upon my heart: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but YOU CAN’T FOOL GOD AT ALL.” I believe this speaks to the awful condition of most of the church and the self-professed Christians that inhabit them. There is a whole lot of outward display of “Love” and “Religion”, but an absence of true holiness. There is sometimes talk of repentance, but very little actual repenting. The hearts of many Christians are saturated with the world, all the while proclaiming a desire for Heaven. There are Christians and churches that practice Halloween, an occult holiday. There are Christians that vacation at wicked Disney World. There are those that drink beer and wine, and have hard hearts to God’s standard of righteousness. While the Lord says “Come out of her my people”, the vast majority choose to “stay in and enjoy the water.” Christians have become people pleasers, not God pleasers. God is not first in their lives, something else is. That is the definition of an idol. Few preachers warn against sin anymore. Adultery, fornication, homosexuality, wickedness, mockery, and greed are not warned against, but rather Christians continue to live for self, and not for Jesus. I often live with the tension of spending more money on myself, while starving children and adults in foreign lands suffer and die without Christ. And why? Because hardly ever do the Christian leaders preach to convict the rest of us of such selfishness. “Men shall be lovers of self, more than lovers of God.” In order to combat this deception, I have to read the Scriptures for myself and allow them to convict me, all the while wondering why the pastors and leaders aren’t bringing these truths to my attention. I have to search in vain for a “good church” that will help me to be the godly leader of my home that God has called me to be, yet not finding a church that will back me in my own home. Instead, sin is accommodated for the sake of “relationship”. We have truly lost the fear of God, because if we were truly honest with ourselves, we can’t possibly imagine God throwing us into Hell for hypocrisy and unrepentance. We erroneously believe God’s love overlooks our dark hard selfish hearts. We are unwilling to pay the price, but God sees it all — the movies, television, music, games, and wickedness that we are just fine with. As Pastor Ben Faircloth admonished us to stop supporting Netflix, most probably thought that was too harsh. Throughout the centuries, true believers have suffered torture and persecution and death for Jesus’ sake, yet we can’t give up Netflix or Disney! Seriously? Are we that in love with self and so void of Holy Spirit conviction that we can be that lukewarm — no, that COLD toward God Almighty? But I believe God is not fooled by any of it! He sees it all, He sees our hearts, that work iniquity and hold to the unclean thing. We eat more in church than fast. Do we ever even fast at all? How serious are we about prayer, and prayer meetings? And what about repentance? Are we ever told what to repent of? Let our laughter be turned to mourning! The land becomes filled with more and more wickedness, and Christians by-and-large just acclimate to it, because they “want to have a good time.” If we each had a daughter that was being beaten and raped, we wouldn’t be laughing and joking, but rather crying, angry, and devastated! How much more serious is a lukewarm attitude to Christ and His holiness and righteousness? .... But God sees. He sees the “go along with the crowd” mentality of believers instead of suffering the reproach of Christ. Moses chose to suffer with God’s people instead of enjoying the pleasures of sin for a season. How many American Christians choose that path? Obviously very few when you look around. “To obey is better than sacrifice” but today we think we can placate a Holy God by doing some good work or giving a donation or tithe, and God wont see our true condition! We don’t obey, we WON’T obey, but somehow we believe we can “trick” God, but God cannot be mocked. What we reap, we will so. I hunger for true men of God to preach repentance, righteousness, holiness, AND separation from this world — not mixing the two together, which Jesus said could not be done. It shouldn’t take 20 years to repent of things the early church gave up overnight once they were saved. Are we striving to be like the church in Acts? Then let’s do an Acts 19:19 with the garbage in our lives, both the physical and the wickedness hidden within our own hearts. Be warned: no one can fool the Living God EVER!!!

Looking to correspond with believers in my part of the country, VT, NY, and NH .... as well as other places. Seeking encouragement in Christ, and discussing of end times, last days, prepping — and also Repentance, Prayer, and Revival. Scripture focused as well as practical advice and discussion. I am a 54-year-old Christian man in Vermont, and I love the Lord Jesus Christ. Hoping to hear from someone!
