I have taught this truth from Scripture, to number our days, for many years now, oftentimes in funeral sermons and eulogies. God has taught humanity for many thousands of years that man typically has only seventy years unless he is totally blessed and lives into his eighties. We have all witnessed precious souls, like my younger brother, who only lived one week, and my blessed grandmother who lived well into her hundreds. We have no way of knowing just how long we will be given to live on this planet, so it is necessary to number our days making every day count. Although we could only trust in the providence of God for my younger brother, my blessed grandmother had learned well how to make the most of every day to the glory of God. Contrary to how old we are and the trials that we are currently facing, we can still learn together how to number our days by making every moment of every day count for the best. If we don’t then time will fly by as a watch in the night as if our time on earth never existed; a thousand years in your sight would be like yesterday when it is past (Psalms 90:4-6).

A Blessing to Flee Bondage Now
In the Last Days following the Shepherd of our souls has become increasingly difficult for most people who call upon the Name of Jesus Christ. The Good Shepherd has been leading His children, for some time now, to come out from the world and be separate (Revelation 18:4-5). Unbeknown to most, the closer we get to the End the more difficult it has become. Regrettably, this difficulty has not only left His people in bondage to the world, but it has also caused them to miss the greatest blessings beyond imagination. First, we will examine the difficulty of coming out from the world and the extent of the bondage that will ultimately lead to destruction. Then, secondly, we will discuss the great blessings of taking the first steps in resisting the world and coming out of bondage. The further you come out of the world, the more you will experience blessings beyond imagination as you follow only the Good Shepherd of your soul, Jesus Christ. Dear children, I pray that you will join me on this journey that will open your eyes to a bondage you never knew existed until you are set free. Be free at last to enjoy blessings beyond measure!

Technology Will Be Your Undoing
This is the lead article in my new book, “Annals of Prophetic Writings.” I am convinced that technology will be our undoing because it will rob us of our time, of only walking in the Spirit and spending an ample amount of time building face-to-face relationships. We need to start at the beginning and discover together how technology will be our undoing. As biological life forms, we have always created tools to help us carve out our existence on the planet. We created tools to plant and harvest food, which gradually increased in efficiency leading to an agrarian society. We also in the beginning created tools to harvest wildlife for food or to kill them for protection, which also gradually increased in efficiency. The same could be said for tools for constructing shelters. These were all basic tools meant primarily for survival. After many thousands of years, this all changed. In the modern age, tools were invented not just for necessity but for added convenience to supposedly give humanity more time. In the beginning, these tools were sufficiently well built lasting for many years or an entire lifetime. Well, in time everything began to change, again. Tools were now built more cheaply to increase the bottom line creating a throwaway society. This in itself has had a tremendous impact on the world economy.
