Hello, thanks for joining me today for Give Him 15. The title of our post today is,

Turbulent Times are here. One of the most challenging aspects of being a watchman for our nation

at this time is balancing warnings with encouragement and hope. Too much emphasis on warning,

and it can demoralize, causing despair and eroding faith. Too much of, it's going to be okay,

can lead to complacency. I never want anyone to become fearful because of my

posts, and I completely believe what I released yesterday, God has begun a season of

suddenlies through which he intends to save our nation. I also know that his salvation will, in part, result from a

difficult shaking that has begun and will intensify. The shaking is not because of God's anger,

but is a reaping.

This type of reaping is often required in order to awaken people to their condition and need.

The prodigal son is a clear example.

It's also true that Satan, according to Daniel 7, 25, tries to alter or change God's times and laws.

Laws there could be translated God's decrees or plans. It means the decree of a king.

He does so. He alters these things, not by overpowering God,

but by impacting, wearing down, and immobilizing the saints, it says. Interesting phrase there.

We are God's methods. If Satan can influence us, he can alter some of God's desired times and

plans, not God's will, but his plans. Jesus referenced this in Luke 19, 41 through 44.

It says when he approached Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it. Literal translation there could be he burst into tears, saying if you had known

on this day, even you, the conditions for peace.

But now they've been hidden from your eyes.

For the days will come upon you when your enemies will put a barricade against you,

surround you, hem you in on every side, level you to the ground.
