June 15, 2012 Was The Date That Nik Wallenda Brought Glory To God And Tight Rope Walked Across Niagra Falls!

Nik Wallenda is a 7th generation member of the famous "Flying Wallenda Family". On Friday night, June 15, Wallenda braved unpredictable wind currents and incredible mists of water as he walked a two inch diameter cable 1800 feet across the Niagra Falls. He was the first man to ever accomplish this feat and it may never be done again.
"I hope what I do and what I just did inspires people around the world to reach for the skies," he said. "There was no way to focus on the movement of the cable," said Wallenda, 33. "If I looked down at the cable there was water moving everywhere. And if I looked up there was heavy mist blowing in front of my face. So it was a very unique, a weird sensation." He said he accomplished the feat through "a lot of praying, that's for sure. But, you know, it's all about the concentration, the focus, and the training." I believe that Nik did indeed pray a lot. He was heard praying to "Jesus, my Righteous King". That's the kind of praying I like to hear! This world needs to know that the God you believe in is the Most High, the High and Lofty One, the one and only Jesus Christ! In another interview Wallenda related the following details about his life... "I grew up in a born-again Christian family, a (B)ible-believing, God-fearing family," he told the Toronto Sun. "That's the way I was raised, and I find comfort and peace in that." Nik Wallenda walked on a two inch cable that separated him from time and eternity. He did it confidently knowing that if he fell he would be in the very presence of his Righteous King! You and I think that Nik leads a very dangerous life but every day we all walk a fine line between time and eternity. There are traffic accidents, work place accidents, deadly diseases and a multitude of other things that could take us from this world to the next. The Bible says our lives are but "vapours that appear for a little while and then vanish away". We all need the comfort and assurance of the incredible Nik Wallenda! We need Jesus to navigate the dangerous lives we lead. Have you come to Jesus for the forgiveness of sins?

Locusts In Herald Calfornia - Just Another Sign Of Impending Judgement!

Here is a link to a radio news story concerning an outbreak of locusts in Herald, California. I have been trying to present some evangelistic posts as well as prophetic articles that warn readers of the lateness of the hour. The locusts in Herald is indeed a bizarre story. First of all, a severe locust infestation is gauged by the number of locusts per square yard. A severe outbreak is a count of 60 to 65 locusts per square yard. There are reports of 5,000 locusts per square yard in California! Secondly, the name of the town should have caught your attention...Herald! God is trying in a number of ways to get our attention. The dead fish, dead birds, dead dolphins, dead whales, drought, escalating earthquakes, escalating volcanoes, impending financial doom in Europe and imminent war in the Middle East are all screaming LAST DAYS! Here is a video of the Baptist pastor in Indiana that I have recommended in the past...

I hear too many Christians defend their apathy to all these signs by saying that "no one knows the day or the hour". That is about all the eschatology they know! They are ignorant of the fact that the Apostle Paul said we would not be caught by surprise concerning the coming of Christ and our gathering together unto Him that will happen 7 years prior.

1 Thessalonians 5

King James Version (KJV)

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

² For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

³ For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

⁵ Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Christians should be in high alert as we watch events unfold, especially, the developments surrounding the nation of Israel. Christians need to awaken out of their sleep. Unbelievers need to receive Christ as their Savior by believing on Him! The word of the hour is "urgency". What you are going to do about Jesus needs to be done right now! Watch the little video in the right sidebar and explore this blog. Coming to Jesus is a simple process but it is not easy because the devil and man's pride will tell you to wait. Don't wait, do it now.

Grace Preachers List: Harry Ironside

Any time we have a discussion of great grace preachers then Harry Ironside must be included in that list! Harry Ironside was born in Canada in 1876 and experienced a difficult but amazing childhood. At birth he was declared dead and laid aside while medical attention was focused on his mother. It was nearly 40 minutes later that an attendant discovered a faint pulse and efforts to fully revive him were started. His early years were difficult too. His father died when he was only two. The family moved to Los Angeles where young Harry began to develop spiritually. His mother attempted to find a church with a children's Sunday School but they were not successful so young Harry at age 11 started his own! He organzied his neighborhood buddies to help him sew together hundreds of burlap bags and make a tent to house their Sunday School. Soon 60 children and several adults were attending. Because Harry was unable to find a teacher for the class he did that too! He began street preaching in his early teens and was deeply inspired by attending a large evangelistic crusade in L.A. that featured the preaching of D.L. Moody. Although Ironside would acquire no formal education beyond the 8th grade he was mightily used of God throughout his career.
Amazingly, Harry Ironside preached 7000 sermons to 1.25 million people from 1916 to 1929. He would preach the gospel on the streets if he had no church to preach in and he preached the true free grace gospel! His many accomplishments include the preaching of Billy Sunday's funeral and the pastoring the famous Moody Church in Chicago. Here is a fabulous quote by Ironside on the true nature of faith and repentance...

“The Gospel is not a call to repentance, or to amendment of our ways, to make restitution for past sins, or to promise to do better in the future. These things are proper in their place, but they do not constitute the Gospel; for the Gospel is not good advice to be obeyed, it is good news to be believed. Do not make the mistake then of thinking that the Gospel is a call to duty or a call to reformation, a call to better your condition, to behave yourself in a more perfect way than you have been doing in the past … Nor is the Gospel a demand that you give up the world, that you give up your sins, that you break off bad habits, and try to cultivate good ones. You may do all these things, and yet never believe the Gospel and consequently never be saved at all.”

The gospel is good news to be believed! Friend, if you died today are you sure you would go to heaven? If you did die today and you were to stand before God and He were to ask you "Why should I let you into my Heaven?" what would you tell Him? Watch the little video in the right side bar or read this short message. Trust Christ today! Harry Ironside would want you to do that and I want you to know God's forgiveness and the wonders of Heaven!
