“When an Accident is a Reminder of the Grace in Christmas”

By Tonja Condray Klein (Op-Ed 12/21/20)

On Saturday 12/19/20, I had an accident on the way home from shopping for Christmas presents. I was only five miles or so away from home at a light I know like the back of my hand when I realized an SUV in front of me wasn’t yet moving even though the light was green. I had already slowed down, but I hadn’t expected my last pump on the break to send me into a fish-tail. The pavement was slick from rain I hadn’t expected since I hadn’t had any issues all the way to that point, so all I could do was hold onto the steering wheel, scream out to Jesus to help, and wait for the impact.

The impact was not as bad as it could have been since I wasn’t going that fast from having already slowed on the way to the light. I haven’t had an accident or a ticket for the past thirty years. Yes, that’s right, I wrote 30 YEARS! After the pain in my knees got my attention I realized the impact had ended. I was okay except for bruises I knew I’d have on my knees from the dash and soreness in my shoulders from the hit jerking me. The man from the vehicle in front that I had rear-ended due to stupid rain making the pavement slick came to see if I was okay. He and his SUV were okay.

The man called the police to report the accident, and I called Ken to tell him about the wreck. The man and I both took pics of the other’s id and insurance cards then moved the cars to an empty lot on the same street. After ordering a tow for my car so badly crushed in front that I was barely able to turn the wheel to get car into the lot, the man and I waited for the police to arrive. I gave him one of my cards, and he told me that he was a Fantasy reader. I began telling him about my books and music then showed him the artwork of my characters I’d put on my phone and done by my amazing artist.

The police came, I got that stupid ticket the rain caused, then man left, and then I waited for the tow truck. I had to put more coat hood up and gloves on since the temperature was dropping and I couldn’t have my heat on due to the fluid leaking from my car. I was still a bit jarred. I simply thought that it happened for a reason, so I accepted it… until a rental car couldn’t be obtained until Monday which meant Ken would have to miss work since our other car was still in the shop. That was when I began coming apart emotionally. If this happened for a reason then why weren’t things working out?

Trusting God in the midst of problems isn’t easy, no matter how long you’ve known Jesus as Savior. I’ve known Jesus as Savior since I was eight years old, and I’m forty-eight in 2020. I still felt like giving up earlier today when I kept beating myself up over the ‘what ifs’ and kept feeling worse since the wreck was my fault and Ken was going to have to miss work… my fault too. Things are always my fault when I can’t get things to work out right. Ken doesn’t agree with me, and when I keep berating myself over a failure, it hurts him. I need to pray about that and read scripture against it.

Could this have turned out worse? Yes, I could have continued fish-tailing and ended up hitting a car that killed someone. Yes, I could have not fish-tailed and hit the SUV in the middle that would have deployed the air bag that might have hurt or killed me. Yes, the fact that the airbag did not go off means that the car won’t be totaled and is actually able to be fixed. Yes, if we didn’t have comprehensive insurance none of this could be fixed at all. As upset as I am to have an almost perfect driving record ended, at least no one was hurt badly or killed, and I was able to share my faith during it.

I believed that until today when I began to feel like I was useless, worthless, and purpose-less. Do those feelings come from a woman who continues to fight an ongoing auto-immune disease that is currently in remission? Not usually, but a new fear of driving in any weather other than sunshine might. An old fear of fear of letting down the people that I love at the worst times always does. An old fear of driving in rain already has as part of the new one. So how does this accident that was personal yet not fatal show how anyone else but me can be reminded of Grace at Christmas by this?

Ask the man who I rear-ended who may be reading my book or listening to my songs and may have known Jesus and is encouraged or maybe hadn’t but finds the way to Faith. Ask the tow truck driver who was already a Jesus believer but shared the news of his recent baptism with me but didn’t know why except that I had K-Love radio on in my car. Ask those reading this right now still asking the first question but still go to look up my books, my songs, or K-Love radio just because they read this out of curiosity and yet find something else that makes Christmas become that time of Grace.

Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem over two thousand years ago, and He was crucified when he reached the age of thirty-three-and-a-half for every single human to be given a chance to accept His sacrifice by Grace through Faith, and never something by them since it’s a Gift of God. I sometimes forget that nothing is ever about me or my abilities. Every time something happens is a possibility to show God’s Love, Mercy, and Grace. If He uses my feeble skills or words then my joy should be full even if it hurt my pride, my body, or even my record in anything. Jesus is Lord, and I am His.

This Christmas 2020 is going to be hard for so many people who have lost loved ones, the ability to give to their families due to loss of resources, and even the rights to be with those they love even if the gathering be it ever so humble before is being taken away completely. I won’t be able to do what I’d had planned for my family since our car will be in the shop, and even if we should have a rental Monday, the weather is to be snowy on Christmas Eve and I couldn’t drive in it before the accident and especially not now after the accident and in a rental. It may be a Blue Christmas for most.

Let my accident be a reminder of the Grace in Christmas! Even if things are hard and horrible for you right now, try to see the Grace of the Savior in the face of the baby in a Manger as you sing carols via skype, Facetime, or Chat. Try to reach out in a safe but meaningful way to those who are hurting or alone by using those ways too and send food to them if they can’t order it for themselves. Try to share the same kind of Grace shown at Christmas to be found at Calvary once it fills your heart with Salvation. Even if you have accidents happen later you will then find His reasons will be enough.

“Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, Shine On!”

By Tonja Condray Klein

As we approach Christmas in 2020 with the “Christmas Star” occurring on 12/21, we should try to remember what that star meant over two thousand years ago and then what it could mean for us now. I’m not a soothsayer, theologian, or even a degree-bearing scholar (except the Technical Certificate for Webpage Development). I’m not the only Christian believer who is looking at this ‘sign’ with interest, hope, and maybe even concern since the Holy Bible states that we should be looking at the signs of the times in order to understand when the Grace Dispensation we are currently living in will almost be at a final ending. This should propel us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ for as much time as we have!

I’m not religious. I’m a Born-Again, Spirit-Filled, Believer in the Blood of Jesus Christ as the ONLY way for my birth dealt sinful blood to be exchanged by His death on Calvary with Grace by Faith and that not of myself. It IS the Gift of God unto Salvation NOW AND FOREVER! Although a horrible and destructive Great Tribulation Period replaces the Grace Dispensation Period, it hasn’t happened yet, and Christians need to be PREACHING, SINGING, and TEACHING like never before. Our time might be limited. We don’t know if this star is a reminder or if it symbolizes something more. Do I want to go home to Heaven? YES! Do I want others to take this seriously? YES!! Do I think it’s time? Maybe…

I realize that the believers in Jesus Christ have thought this many times over the past 2000 years. This is not to ‘scare’ people into a ‘religious’ experience. This is to AWAKEN BELIEVERS to share the Gospel we already know and to help others to at least get what we already have – a Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior, the Son of God the Father and giver of God the Holy Spirit as our Comforter after shedding His blood for our sins, rising from the grave, and going to Heaven to wait until this time is over and the focus turns to Israel again. Do you see the shift already? I do! It’s been an ongoing shift for a decade or more. As a Believer for Christ, don’t you feel the stirring? Can’t you hear the whisper inside?

AWAKE! AWAKE, WARRIORS FOR CHRIST! SHARE THE GOSPEL, HEAL THE SICK, AND RAISE THE DEAD! WE ARE NOT POWERLESS! THE HOLY SPIRIT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD, AND WE WERE PROMISED TO BE ABLE TO DO EVEN MORE THAN THAT IF WE SIMPLY BELIEVE IT! WE MUST ARISE! SHAKE OFF SIN’S SHACKLES! EMBRACE FREEDOM OF THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! AWAKEN LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND BE RELEASED! GOD IS NOT DEAD, NO, NO, HE’S STILL ALIVE! GOD IS NOT DEAD, NO, NO, HE’S STILL ALIVE! I FEEL HIM IN MY HANDS! I FEEL HIM IN MY FEET! I FEEL HIM IN MY HEART!

BOOM, BOOM! I FEEL HIM IN MY SOUL! WHEW! FEEL HIM ALL OVER ME! Isn’t that what you want? Isn’t that what you need? Isn’t that what you thirst for? Isn’t that what you hunger for? Isn’t it? I’m in tears right now LONGING for the RETURN of the ones who WANT ALL HE GAVE! It’s FREE. It’s REAL. It’s FOREVER. It’s ALL-CONSUMING FIRE! NOTHING ELSE MATTERS! You either know that you know that you know… or you don’t. If you don’t know then YOU NEED TO FIND HIM! FIND HIM IN THE FIRE. FIND HIM IN THE FLOOD. FIND HIM IN THE HOSPITAL BED. FIND HIM IN THE FUNERAL. FIND HIM IN THE BAR. FIND HIM IN THE STRIP CLUB.

YOU CAN FIND HIM WAITING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE! You just have to LOOK for the Truth of Jesus. The problem is that too many people who call themselves CHRISTIAN don’t know that they know that they know either. WE ALL NEED REVIVED! For the love of everything Holy you need REVIVED! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US! I don’t care which denomination you are. I don’t care which preacher you claim. I don’t care which church you give to. WE ALL NEED TO BE REVIVED BY GOD ALMIGHTY! Jesus Christ gave us a mandate. Are you fulfilling it? Are you living it? I fail all the time, but as God Almighty is my witness, I AM TRYING TO REACH YOU! Don’t click away. Destiny calls.

“Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe He is Your Son who died on the cross of Calvary to pay for my sins if I will believe and confess that I do and then live my life to be His soldier of Light to this world from now on. I will try to follow what the Christian Bible states in the New Testament and study the Old Testament to show I belong to You now. Let Your Holy Spirit give what spiritual gift or gifts you wish for me to use for Your Glory. Help me to be a Light to this world in these turbulent times. Lead me in the path You already planned for me before I was born. I am Yours and You are mine! In the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior, Lord, King, and God incarnate… AMEN!”

If you have prayed this, YOU ARE SAVED! Believing is the first step. Living it is an ongoing task of daily trials, failures, and victories. It isn’t easy, but if you keep praying, reading the Bible (start with John, Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Ephesians), and listen to music that ministers – if you love rock then start with Disciple, White Heart, and Skillet; if you love contemporary then start with Mercy Me, Carmen, and Toby Mac; if you love southern gospel start with The Imperials, Hinsons, and Kingsmen. Some are gone now, but their music will live through eternity. There are many others! The styles are plentiful so find your groove to make your soul move toward Jesus more and His Purpose for you!

Andrus, Blackwood, and Company was so long ago, but I jam to “Jesus, You’re So Wonderful” all the time, and it along with the others is mostly available on iTunes. I have versions of most of these on Vinyl, Cassette, CD, and now Digital on my iPhone or computer! You can listen to my songs I wrote and then professionally recorded on my website: https://www.eirinth.com at the link FOR FREE! You can also read the Prologue through Chapter 6 for BOTH of my Fantasy Novels at that link FOR FREE too and then buy on Amazon in E-Book or Paperback! Finding a church right now is difficult, but you can listen to WGNZ radio 1110am and 104.7fm to various ministers that preach the truth you need!

Message me on Facebook if you have a question or need links that can help more. Until then, May Jesus Christ Bless You And Keep You In His Care! Look up on December 21st to see the Christmas Star!

Scrooges Can Change But Can Those Seeking Power Now?

By Tonja Condray Klein – 12/07/20

As Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, and other Holidays approach, is there any way that we all will be allowed to celebrate the way all free Americans were promised with our United States of America Constitution and Bill of Rights? While I understand the danger of Covid-19 and practice proper precautions, some measures (even in Ohio) are beyond common sense and have a foretelling of terrorizing government waiting in the wings if the American people let it. It’s something that my Veteran father would have been enraged over since these statutes are like what he fought against!

The people of our country have faced some of the greatest trials of existence, but we kept finding abilities to excel beyond our limitations with the common goal to be free and make this land free for generations to come; at times through battle when no other course of action was available. At other times we won through diplomacy to protect our citizens and soldiers. We pulled together in this time of medical peril and even found treatments and the coming vaccine for our latest foe. Are we now so careless with our rights that we will let any group against our Democracy bulldoze it with politics?

Our constitution once led our officials elected by the people of this country to keep our freedoms safe from the other kinds of governments that we saw kill innocent people who had no rights like we have enjoyed in America. We still have the poor, mistreated, and misjudged; but this country has been the best one in this whole world when it comes to the rights to live free, the laws to protect against tyranny, and the will to share in spite of our differences once we understand “One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice FOR ALL!” is something we should still fight for!

Our country is not perfect, but we have led this planet with Democracy ever since we were formed. We’ve had bad leaders make horrible choices, but our Constitution is STILL the way to govern, the Bill of Rights are STILL worth fighting for to preserve, and our Vote is STILL something that needs to be protected with every legal means given to us! If we let any group take away our legislated voting system by illegal means then we will no longer be free. Do you want to live here if you have no say against unjust laws or penalties against freedoms you once had? I don’t think I ever can.

Am I suggesting suicide? Not while I still have Hope in Jesus Christ! Am I supporting violence? Not if there’s a legal way to defend! Am I giving a dark vision of the future we could have if we don’t WAKE UP? YES! These groups wanting to take over our country are not illusions or conspiracy theories; this would be a nightmare we may not wake up from if they take over this country completely. While some Christian prophecies have not come to pass as expected, the possibility that they have in clandestine ways we haven’t noticed could very well mean that they already have unknown.

The way the event of the Christmas Star is happening this Christmas in 2020 should make anyone who has read the Gospels think about how Jesus Christ told His disciples to be aware of the signs of the times that appear in the skies. Could Christians be missing the possible return of Jesus Christ during the time of a similar star to hail His return? Is the sky foretelling the rescue of His believers to evacuate them from Earth before the Great Tribulation begins? With these current political aggressions, Christianity may face a worse round of persecution seen since the time of the gladiators.

This is not meant to scare believers. This is meant to WAKE YOU UP! Christ-Believers roused for a while, but then the inability to meet due to the Covid-19 situation stopped the spiritual awakening. Believers might be able to reach individuals, so even if we don’t shake the world with a Revival we thought we’d have, we still might reach a last soul to be saved in the Church Age Grace Dispensation which seems to be the last piece of the cosmic puzzle of prophecy to be placed before Christians supernaturally disappear to be taken to safety before massive disasters worldwide happen.

Yes, the Covid-19 pandemic has shaken the world, destroying lives in so many ways due to people’s deaths, the job losses that have put people in dire situations, and the loss of so many rights we have had since before I was even born in this country. It’s hard to imagine something worse than what we’ve already seen, but it is possible since the Holy Bible stated that desperate times would happen even before the Great Tribulation truly begins. We haven’t seen the numbers of those having died that matches those listed for during the Great Tribulation, so that isn’t what is happening now.

The last great Revival is supposed to happen before Christians are evacuated, and with the current Covid-19 lock-downs that doesn’t seem possible unless churches find a way to connect through digital media, radio, CB or shortwave if digital stations or websites are confiscated or shut down by a new totalitarian regime. We are already being censored, so. it may come to the point when we won’t be able to text, email, or call someone without it being recorded or disconnected. I’m not paranoid. I’m honest and preparing myself for as many possible outcomes I can manage while I still have rights.

Perhaps we are still missing the one more puzzle piece that none of the theologians, historical laypeople, or those with spiritual gifts can see. Perilous times are already here in 2020, but since many believers before us suffered so much more, we may have to be refined by the fire of persecution to become the purist gold of Faith to shine the reality of God Almighty to the entire world. I don’t know, and I don’t want to go through any of it, but the fear that tries to overtake me at the thought will not prosper since I decided long ago that my ONLY Master is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Am I preaching death and destruction? I hope not. Am I warning Believers in Christ to buckle up and get ready for some rough riding through thorns of hate, prison, and maybe even lashes? Once again, I hope not. Is it possible that all of this had to happen to get us to let go of this world because we are holding onto it to it too much? I hope not, but it could be. I fail every day to do everything I can for my Savior, but I STILL BELIEVE in His Promises, Protection, and Purpose to Believers who will stand fast, blow the trumpet in warning, and WAIT FOR HIM to come in the blink of an eye.

Until then, I MUST keep singing even if it’s outlawed. I MUST keep songwriting even if no one listens. I MUST keep writing to reach anyone for Christ even if I’m imprisoned. I’m a realist who sees something wrong in churches that needs revived for the world to see Jesus Christ. DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? The shepherds praised God for our Savior at His birth. I’m willing to be thought of as a lowly beggar in this world to SEE HIM at His return that is imminent and prevalent at the moment of prophecy fulfillment. Jesus Christ is “King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Glory, Hallelujah!”

“What Really IS Important Christmas 2020”

By Tonja Condray Klein©12/02/20

I’m working on my song “The Colors of Christmas” and the lyrics reminded me of WHY it’s important to take time to celebrate as a Christian believer this time of year. I love the Santa movies in live action or old cartoon style. I love Rudolf who will always be my favorite reindeer. I love the mischievous kid movies that remind me of myself even now. I even love the Scrooge movies in all their different decades of production and differences. I love the lights, the songs, the new clothes, and the food at Christmas. All of those things still aren’t the reason why I love Christmas. Then what is it?

Christmas is what makes Easter possible. You can go into the whole ‘rebirth of nature’ aspect if you want, but for me it was the Resurrection of my Savior, and that couldn’t have happened without His birth. Linus from Peanuts says it as simply and truthfully as can be in that beloved movie, and since I still have a blanket I relate to him even more than most. It reminds me that even though the blanket is for comfort for me here on Earth, I have a Savior who sent my Comforter to me for my soul now and eternally. Money, power, or even gifts don’t really matter. My greatest gift of all time is Jesus!

Many don’t believe that He even came, and others deny even the reality of God Almighty, but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord as the Son incarnate who arrived over 2000 years ago as a human baby to later become our Salvation 33 years or so later. It’s not a fantasy or a fable, and not even just a story. There is more historical evidence for the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ than they have for any other life-altering person. I haven’t seen Him like the disciples did, but I have felt His presence by His Holy Spirit too many times to doubt His prophesied purpose.

The star that shined to lead three wise-men who arrived a couple years later, the angels who proclaimed to the shepherds that came, and the animals that watched it all happened as the Holy Bible states. Others can scoff or even get angry, but I see it as the moment humanity was placed on the pathway to restoration! As I celebrate my husband and me surviving Covid-19, and my mother surviving an infection that almost took her life, I can give thanks for that Baby who came to give us all LIFE ETERNAL if we only accept HIS GIFT this holiday season – Faith even a child can believe.

Do I ever doubt? Well, like the character Charlie in the movie about addiction to shoes (one of my favorites, and reminds me of my much older sister!), I also ask, “If you never doubt then why would you need faith?” This is an ongoing learning experience in the Christian life. Jesus likes to show up where and when you sometimes least expect Him – in the grocery line, in the dollar store, or even in a doctor’s office. I know it because I have had it happen. Moments of Grace are around us every single day if we keep our eyes open and our hearts focused. Like in a manger, Jesus Christ shows up!

If ever Christian believers needed to be praying over this holiday season it is NOW. There are a lot of situations in our country and the world that need the loving and changing touch of Jesus Christ to be given in the same way as the time of His birth to bring peace on Earth and good will toward mankind, in spite of our differences. Hearts need to be changed, minds need to be mended, lives need to be healed, and people of every nation need to be restored. The love of Jesus can do it all, but His people need to release His power everywhere by Prayer, Praise, and practical exhibition of Freedom!

Revival is Coming… DO NOT FEAR!

Is Redemption Drawing Near Sooner Than Expected?

By Tonja Condray Klein(c)11/24/20

I’ve read apologetic Biblical works, prophetic Biblical studies, and even historical non-Biblical books, but what’s been making me question some of the teachings I’ve studied for the last thirty-five years of my forty-eight has been how prophecies have been fulfilled in undeniable ways but revival has been brought to a grinding halt. Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020 have made Christian meetings outlawed in some places, but even before then hadn’t many already stopped trying to change their communities in a positive way? Didn’t many quit praying? Didn’t many just give up completely? From what I’ve read in all of the Christian ‘end-of-times’ main teachings, ‘true’ believers in Jesus Christ were to have a Revival like has never been seen before that leads to the last soul to be saved in the ‘Grace Dispensation’ that immediately causes the ‘calling away’/‘meeting in the sky’/‘Christian evacuation’ known as ‘the Rapture’ before the Great Tribulation begins. If things expected to happen a certain way doesn’t then does it mean we missed the point where it would have but we failed the test of understanding and awareness of the present times like the foolish virgins? Will it not now? I don’t know.

Prophecies are interpreted differently by various groups of people, but many had been in one accord for the past few years, so I’m asking what many believers are right now, “WHAT HAPPENED?” While some still preach the Gospel in several media formats, Covid-19 has limited or even stopped the coming together of churches for an in-person revival, so what now? While we have technology to keep spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ on ‘airways’ if nowhere else, what about if (or when) those media outlets take away the platforms to silence us? When our everyday rights and freedoms are being limited or taken, what makes us think for even a moment that any anti-religious group now in power won’t use this opportunity to outlaw any size of gathering if we hold true to our callings? I never thought in my lifetime that I’d see this possibility, but as things happening in 2020 begin to reach the place that screams critical mass reached, we should take an inventory of our beliefs, evaluate our plans, and strengthen our fortitude to keep our Faith while trying to keep the peace until we have no choice but to practice social disobedience to fight for our Constitutional rights and freedoms.

Many outlets have already begun to ban any opinion they don’t agree with, so how much longer will we have a right to express ours individually or even as a group? We really need to be figuring out our plan to not be silenced if our freedoms now become only freedom for others. Being a singer, songwriter, author, and webpage designer I’m really not taking anything for granted since my ‘voice’ could be taken in a single moment. Are you thinking about that if you are a believer who depends on channels, radio, media outlets, bookstores, websites, web hosting companies, online stores, and all other technological advances that only a few corporations actually control? What will you do when or if they pull the plug? I’m not trying to instill panic but want believers in Christ to be mindful of this situation now. I posted long ago on my tribulationhelp.com site about how people during the Great Tribulation might be able to maintain freedom with their faith without underground technology, but WE might have to use those ourselves now. Are you ready for something like that? You should be checking backup plans, backup supplies, and backup media should we face this now in 2020.

I’m NOT part of a survivalist group. I’m NOT part of some religious order demanding money. I’m NOT against our Constitutional Democracy when it follows what is stated in our founding documents. What I AM is a Christian who is NOT going to stop spreading the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! If you are part of a different religion then you still need to be concerned since this possible totalitarian regime that may take over soon will be against ANY RELIGION that isn’t their government. Many of you were not taught about the USSR (what Russia used to be) and their methods of a total governmental control. It saddens me that two generations have lost knowledge that I now prize more than all of the diamonds in the world! I WAS ALIVE WHEN THE USSR STIL EXSTED! I SAW EVIL THEY DID TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE! I SAW IT TELEVISED! I READ ACCOUNTS OF THE ONES WHO ESCAPED! IT HAPPENED EVEN IF YOUR SCHOOOL NEVER TOLD YOU! This is why former President Ronald Reagan said that Democracy is only a generation from extinction. Once education becomes indoctrination then our freedom and democracy is lost.

I READ. I QUESTION. I STUDY. I TEST. If something doesn’t match known history, proven science, linear mathematics, and basic Christian theology at the same time then it doesn’t pass the test of REALITY for me. That may seem a bit theoretical, heretical, and anti-establish-mental, but it is the scientific method at heart even if those in a field disagree. I’m not looking for funding or a grant, so take your assessment elsewhere. My point is? There is a reality that has existed since time began, and some yahoos running our country now are trying to rewrite history, redefine science, and nullify mathematics for the purpose of making generations younger than mine be unable to know the absolutes that were proven in every single one of these varied disciplines that held for historians, scientists, mathematicians, and even theologians for centuries up to millennia! THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS! When did most of the parents claiming to be Christian give up the educating of their genealogical lines to be done by atheists or ‘worse’? Yes, ‘worse’ than atheist is rather troubling, isn’t it? At least atheists just say there is NO god. ‘Worse’ claim to BE god.

How will we as Christians or even people of other faiths not in power endure this coming storm against freedoms and rights? With technology changing so rapidly and abilities to circumvent the biased channels to even give your opinion without it being removed happening, I’m not sure what our path to being as free as we have been will be now. Freedom of Speech was given by our Founding Fathers for this country. I will fight in all the ways I can to make sure that I don’t lose it completely. Maybe this was what was needed to instigate the final Christian Revival but in ways we didn’t image in the United States of America. I’m still not sure. I’m really not sure of much of anything except in the Salvation by Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ and infilling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in other Tongues with promised Gifts if we simply repent and allow redemption to happen. I’m like Paul the Apostle when I say that I speak in tongues as often as others but seek prophecy to uplift and encourage believers in these last days. Paul thought he was living in the last days back then, and that was in early AD, so we are closer if not there yet. Redemption may draw near sooner than expected…

“Truth from a Real RRMS Survivor” – 11/23/20

By Tonja Condray Klein

I was diagnosed with Multiple Scleroses in 2004 after having a Grand Mal seizure. Migraine headaches happened the summer before the seizure, and some neurologists say it’s a continuum with neurological disorders. It was a sign that I didn’t know could mean something else was wrong. I’d dealt with allergies and respiratory infections since a child, so I’d taken medication for that all of my life. After several tests I was put on a MS medication, but I took it for only a year, I’m the kind of patient who researches any medicine I take to make sure it’s the best for whatever condition I have. Symptoms listed on reputable sites for regular MS didn’t match what I was experiencing, so I gradually stopped the MS medication in 2005. I still had allergies, respiratory infections, and viruses, but no symptoms like before and no seizures.

For seven years I went without any MS medications and didn’t seem to have any symptoms. Even the migraines never happened again. Then in 2012 I had two Grand Mal seizures the same day separated by hours and two trips to the hospital, where they kept me after the second seizure. I was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiples Scleroses – RRMS – by a different Neurologist who became my new one until he retired in 2020. After I was placed on a different MS medication, I went without any problem for three years, so it had seemed I’d finally been placed on correct treatment. The MS went into remission until 2015 when the medicine injection developed a painful red rash. I went to the ER, but they said it was muscles spasms and sent me home with pain medicine. The ER doctor didn’t even check the site.

When the injection site got worse, I went to my primary care physician and she saw it was cellulitis, a dangerous situation for anyone with MS. She sent me immediately to the hospital with her referral and demand for proper care. I was there for a few days on pain medicine as they began antibiotics. They sent me home with antibiotics, but after the course at home the cellulitis again began to be so painful I was screaming and couldn’t walk. My supportive husband who is an amazing hospital IT Technician took me to the ER for the third time. Once they did extractions of the tissue in that thigh area, it turned out to be a flesh-eating infection. They began another round of antibiotics, but that wasn’t working so the physician who was a surgeon for this type of condition decided to do surgery to remove that part of my thigh.

17cm wide x 9cm high x 2cm deep was my mantra for the months after the surgery. I had to allow a nurse to then come to our place to change the dressing for my open wound that my husband and I had to change between her visits. If a catastrophe would happen in Dayton, Ohio then I would be well prepared to change wounds of anyone affected now. The fact that I had to change the bandages for the wound my husband had after surgery for a different infection also prepared me for the road to recovery of my own. What nothing prepared me for was the emotional trauma of it all, the feeling of a helplessness that I hadn’t felt as strong as I did through this. Let me try to explain. “I” am the “Go-To Girl” in my family. Though I’ve always been sickly I’ve been positive. This brought me to my knees to make me question all I believed.

Even while in the hospital I was part of a launch team for a fellow author releasing his new Christian Fantasy Novel that I texted positive responses as support. I also found out that my original song “Dancin’ on the Wind” that I wrote and sang as a recorded single was number 7 in the Fan Favorites 2015 countdown for the Sounds of the Valley radio program on local station WGNZ! In the midst of this mayhem, God Almighty was still using my music to bless others. It was humbling as I lay in the hospital bed, and I was so thankful for the blessings and talents my Creator has given to me, but I was still fighting for my life then and continued to after I got home to recover. Recovery was the dragging months of personal, mental, physical, and spiritual battles that I never would have won on my own.

While I had been in the hospital before my surgery, I had a couple of really bad moments of telling myself that I was failing because my body was weak and I couldn’t ever be what I was supposed to be as a Christian singer, songwriter, and novelist. In tears, I’d sat there one night berating myself over opportunities I had wasted and what was happening was my punishment for that failure. It was then when God Almighty, my Savior Jesus Christ had His Holy Spirit to remind me who I am by putting my own song that I’d written back in the 1980’s and released as a single in 2015 “My Captain” in my memory. My own words spoke comfort to me, and how do you deny a message that you knew was true that many decades ago? You can’t. You can try, but it will ring in your heart as the bell of victory over the lies of disease and destruction.

The moments of tears, frustration, anger, depression, uselessness, weakness, and fear can make you wish you could leave this world to be with God and those who have joined Him through Faith in Jesus already. It is such a hard temptation to resist when you know it would be so easy to give up and let the MS render you without any ability to be bothered to be used ever again. It would be so easy at times to lie down, take more pain medicine than you need, and to simply let go. It would be, but it isn’t supposed to be. Do you know why? Even if you end up in a wheelchair once you lose the ability to walk, if you can talk then you can encourage someone else. Even if you can’t see anymore, you can become a storyteller in ways you’d never imagined. “Even if” by MercyMe has meaning then and even now.

Am I always so positive? I already told that I’m not. Do I always see a way out of the moments of aggravation from not being able to do what I want or need to do but can’t because this disease stops me? No, I lose my temper, say or write things I have to ask God for forgiveness for, and try to remember that every breath I breathe is a gift from Heaven since this disease has not caused damage to my brain cells that control that. It’s the main point I’m trying to make – YOU are HERE for HIM. Even if you aren’t a Christian, YOU are HERE for HIM. Jesus knew you before you heard of Him. Jesus saw you before you were born. Jesus died for you even if you still doubt He exists. MS may take away parts of your life you will mourn, but Jesus can give life and life more abundantly to you if YOU let HIM. Even with MS.

The CIS (Clinical Isolated Syndrome), RRMS (Relapsing-Remitting), PPMS (Primary-Progressive), or SPMS (Secondary-Progressive) types of Multiple Sclerosis can destroy your life or give you a reason to fight for it. Each type has its own symptoms, treatments, challenges, and physical deteriorations that are different for each individual but can change between types. What I went through may not be what anyone else experiences, but the feelings this disease can cause can be the same for those who have any type of a disability because of MS. Before MS, I received almost a full scholarship for Computer Science major and teaching minor but had to withdraw due to missing class from allergies causing infections, but I got my Webpage Development Certificate in 1999 for business that I still use in 2020.

Since MS, I’ve published two Fantasy Novels and released my first Music EP Album of original songs I wrote and sing. I’m fighting MS all the way! I’m not some amazing exception to the rule of this disease’s horrors. This is meant to encourage those in physical battles against whatever type of this disease you have. DO NOT GIVE UP! Jesus Christ is still Lord, Savior, Healer, God Almighty as the Son, Creator, Redeemer, Forgiver, Restorer, and Source of our strength if we let Him take our burdens as we fight through Faith in Him and His Promises. Although I may eventually die from this, I will still keep fighting MS until then. Even if the feelings overwhelm me at times, and I feel like I have failed in all I’ve tried to do for Jesus and people around the world, I will still keep fighting MS. I’m in remission, but I will still fight MS!

Three MS medications failed me. This fourth one is working, but that can change at any moment. My only hope is truly in my Faith in Jesus Christ since He goes beyond anything to help with healing when we need Him. Sometimes God says, “No.” I will keep hoping that He won’t since I do believe I have more to do for Him. When the time comes for me to leave Earth for Heaven, I will be sad at what I will miss with those I love here that remain. My only Hope is that they will know Jesus as Savior and join me when it’s time for them. With the way things are in 2020, I don’t know how much time we have until ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WILL BE RESCUED AND TAKEN TO HEAVEN. It will happen, and if things keep going the way they have been with the Covid-19 situation and contested election, we may leave sooner.

I have met other MS patients who have been in wheelchairs or otherwise disabled, and my heart aches for them. I can still walk, dance, talk, sing, move my hands and feet, hold things in my hands, carry things from place to place, and I otherwise have full control over my physical faculties. The only damage is that I sometimes don’t remember names like I used to be able to more easily or I forget things I need to take from one room to another before I take others and have to go back. Since I’m 48 years old, I honestly don’t think that’s too bad on the aging mentality level! I stay tired. That’s my biggest complaint, but I also have insomnia at times and use those moment to write instead of complain (if I can). My life has been good, and it still is good now. We have our good days and our bad, and I’d rather be alive and still fighting MS.

My hubby will be 53 in 2021, I’ll be 49, my sister will be 71, and my Mom will be 90. Depending on how these final Christian prophecies are met will determine if we will still be here when the ‘rescue’, ‘evacuation’, ‘catching away’, ‘Rapture’ of the Believers in the Blood of Jesus Christ will happen. We might die before millions to billions disappear at the same time here on Earth. It seems to be getting closer, and I’m hoping to go together, but regardless of that I hope that people will think about the reality of Jesus Christ, His Sacrifice on Calvary for our fallen state, and personal gift He has as Salvation by Grace and through Faith in Him so we can find the reality of eternity waiting for us. Even if MS or age takes us, we need to be ready when we meet Him once we leave this mortal body. I now have an MS-free one waiting!

“Sing Against The Storm” 11/20/20

I haven’t put these lyrics to music yet, but I felt I needed to post them. This may be taken down, but it’s not meant to go against common sense safety practices. It’s to display my disregard for “banning” two things some are saying we can’t do for two of the most celebrated holidays in this country. THAT IS WRONG. Ken recovered from a positive test Covid-19, and I may have had it too since I had the same symptoms two weeks before he did but self-quarantined until I recovered. Be safe, but don’t let fear be your master! My Master is my Lord, Savior, and King Jesus Christ, and I WILL NOT STOP SINGING! The enemy is using fear to try to control us… SING AGAINST THE STORM! Rejoice in the Lord, Always, and again I say REJOICE! THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH! Wear masks. Wash your hands. Limit your group, but SING!!!
 
“Sing Against the Storm
Tonja R. Klein©11/20/20
 
Verse 1
They tell you not to sing
They tell you not to dance
They demand all things
So gathers have no chance
Freedom needs revived
We’re not slaves to country
Everyone has rights
Be what you must be!
 
Chorus
Sing against the storm
Don’t let winds hush you
Smile when the waves crash
Faith will get you through
When difficult to stand
Facts will still hold true
Let your voice be heard
Sing… let none stop you!
 
Verse 2
Too much blood has been bled
Freedoms must be saved
Too many tears were shed
By those who were brave
Lies that steal, don’t believe
Truth will make them pay
Show proof that all can see
Sing each breath you take!
 
Repeat Chorus
 
Codicil
When difficult to stand
Facts will still hold true
Let your voice be heard
Sing… let none stop you!”

ONE MORE RIVER…
By Tonja Condray Klein
11/17/2020

I have been studying Eschatology for thirty-five years since I was a teenager. I’ve been seeing a shift of events in the past four years that have led to this disturbing point in 2020. As a woman who has intellect beyond educational degrees from studying more than I was told, and as a believer in the Holy Christian Bible, I’m beginning to ask if the United States has reached a tipping point with its election standards while we yell in the political vehicle’s backseat like spoiled children, “Are we there yet?”

The President of the United States of America was named while ballots were still being counted! Donald J. Trump may still be the rightfully elected President for a second term in spite of what seems to be an attempted coup. This situation in the 2020 election could have been allowed for what many biblical prophecy groups have thought would take place as another piece of the puzzle being placed for the last American government before the Rapture of the Believers in Jesus Christ as Savior happens.

The ones who voted for Trump saw returns be overcome with suspicious mail-in ballot dumps, but will it matter? This all depends on whether or not the Gospel message still needs to be preached for four more years so souls can be saved before believers are evacuated from this planet and/or possible dimension. Look at our immense universe, people! If you think that God Almighty, the Creator of this whole 3-demensional plane of existence is limited to just us, THINK AGAIN.

The Presidency of the United States of America is NOT FINAL yet. Ballots are still being found, counted, and recounted where irregularities were found. Invalid votes by DEAD people and false polling actions by witnesses with SWORN AFIDAVITS have been documented to be forwarded to proper legal courts. If planned legal actions fail to give corrected results in Trump’s favor even with the evidence of tampering worse than the Bush-vs-Gore election, then we may never be able to trust elections again.

It will be no better than being in a dictatorship if the other party gets into power because of what THEY stated as THEIR plans once they defeat Trump. They are trying to destroy the middle class so only the upper ruling class and the lower working class will be here so they can rule absolutely. This is basis of totalitarian dictatorship, and AMERICA CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN! Every legal American needs to stand with the laws of our elections so our Constitutional Democracy doesn’t end without a valid fight.

Yes, this should be highly troubling for this country that is still fighting Covid-19. Yes, this also should be extremely disturbing for those who have seen prosperity in a way this country hadn’t in maybe a couple decades or more before Covid-19. Yes, this should be very frustrating for those seeing the signs of America becoming the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave again. It should really be shaking Christians since the last great revival many have been waiting to break free might NOT happen now!

Why? Why would God Almighty put the ways for American Christians to do more to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world then let the enemy’s agents steal it by taking away free elections from us here? Were we too satisfied with riches or position to see we had a short time to do what is right before verbal freedom is taken away? Is it possible revival might not come as easily now? Or might it not come the way believers have taught it would for the almost five decades I’ve lived in religious freedom?

I don’t know. Shocked that I admit that? I’m not a sage, scholar, or prophet. I’m simply a believer in the Blood Sacrifice of Jesus Christ and Follower of the Word of God with Eschatology. It’s not a secret that many Christians voted for Trump to protect our rights for worship and preaching. A second round of Cyrus may be in pause, but we still face an anti-Bible culture to maybe begin to rule this country again. I’m hoping this coup will fail and our Constitutional Democracy will win legally and emphatically!

I don’t want anyone to lose his or her right to legally vote. I want the illegal votes already found in places of controversy to be cast out legally and have counts done again legally to verify integrity. The upper ruling class didn’t like WE THE PEOPLE having freedom that we enjoyed for most of four years. They want to CONTROL us like they have during Covid-19. They want to FORCE us to work for them – not ourselves, our families, or our communities. They want POWER. They shouldn’t have any of it.

This country has existed with the Constitution and state legislatures that have mandated how our elections should be done since our beginning. 2020 was NOT held to these standards, and all those who voted should be very concerned, whether you voted for Trump or Biden. One stolen election could begin a pattern to basically make YOUR vote to NOT count. That is the opposite of what this constitutional democracy was founded upon, and to protect what our soldiers have fought and bled to keep for us.

My father fought in World War II, and his brother (my uncle I wasn’t alive yet to meet) died in World War II. They and every other soldier fight for our rights given by the Constitution and against all of the other forms of government that we have seen are NOT for America. We do NOT want Socialism, Communism, or whatever other -ism they are pushing because too many of our soldiers died to protect Freedom from these controlling governments that are against every drop of blood our soldiers spilled.

My father, my uncle, and every single soldier who have fought since World War II know that the other forms of government DON’T WORK and make people being governed into SLAVES. I don’t care what color you are, if these people take over our government and begin their plans then America will no longer be free. People of Faith need to be praying that the illegal ballots will be rejected and the takeover against our voting freedom will be stopped. EVERY LEGAL AMERICAN VOTE COUNTS!

NOT ON MY WATCH…

By Tonja Condray Klein – 11/01/20

As I watch what’s happening in America 2020, I must not keep my voice silent or fingers idle! We’re facing a possibility of seeing the complete totalitarian over-throw of our Founded Constitutional Democracy. WE MUST VOTE OUR FAITH on 11/03/20! Support all of the candidates that stand for protecting our CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS, our GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS, and our ability to use FREEDOM OF SPEECH online or in public! I will NOT be silenced. I will NOT stop sharing views. I will NOT let anyone keep me from utilizing my abilities with the written and spoken words that are all mandatory for my calling as a Singer/Songwriter/Novelist/Blogger in this crucial voting time!

NO ONE should be allowed to take away my rights to share my views, my support, or even my disagreement. WE ALL HAVE RIGHTS! I may not agree with you, but so help me God I have the right to say why online or publicly. YOU TOO! I’m calling on all of those who share my beliefs or at least the foundation of our country to VOTE YOUR FAITH or FREEDOM! Anyone who is for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness should see themselves as ‘Watchmen on the Walls’. This concept is from the Old Testament in the Christian Bible in the days of Israel centuries before our country began. Being a watchman means we MUST NOT let others succeed taking over our country’s political system!

The watchmen have to stand on the wall, watch for invaders trying to infiltrate for purposes of destruction of present government, and fight them with the weapons they had. We must FIGHT WITH OUR VOTE! I don’t want violence, whether social, psychological, or even physical during this election. I want people to THINK about what is important, VOTE for those who will try to keep us safe, and PRAY for those who are against our government’s foundation to have moments of clarity by spiritual means we need to employ immediately. Be KIND to those we meet but protect yourself, stay STEADFAST with your values in spite of hate, and LOVE enemies in the midst of contention.

THIS IS NOT EASY! I have a temper like Mt. Saint Helen, but I will do all I can to utilize my decades of Customer Service skills during this time. I may hand out cards for my two Fantasy novels as witness to someone who desperately needs Christ as well as great stories of action and adventure. We must find ways to distract from the political anger that seems to be seeping into every single group. It isn’t God Almighty’s will that we fail to be His representatives here on Earth until Jesus Christ returns. That may happen sooner than any of us can imagine, but we need to VOTE to keep this county as the Constitutional Democracy that it must remain for as long as we are still here to share the Gospel!

Even if you don’t share my faith I want you to be free to live your life with the FREEDOMS this country founded and has endured since after the Revolutionary War. There is NO country in this world without failures of certain groups in dark times, but the foundations of THIS FREE COUNTRY needs to be upheld and protected by the constituents AT ALL COST. Our flag bleeds red from the many soldiers who have defended it, white for the righteous concept that ALL men and women were created equal, and blue is for vigilance and justice in keeping this country FREE. We must NEVER forget what good we Americans have done over the years, and we must learn from our mistakes. VOTE for that chance!

We have today and two more days before we cast our ballots if you haven’t already. I’m asking all of you, regardless of race, gender, color, creed, or religion to VOTE for those that want to make life in America to be the land of promise and opportunities that the colonists and immigrants saw it as all those years ago. We MUST have law and order. We MUST keep our rights to worship together. We MUST see others get the chance to legally join our nation. These are ALL necessary to keep this nation as a whole fulfilled country that leads the way to prosperity, shines its light of freedom around the world, and lets its countlessly different citizens continue to strive for the future and show how FREEDOM reigns!

WHERE IS THE LAST GREAT REVIVAL?

By Tonja Condray Klein – 10/28/20

I’ve been watching Christmas Romance movies and reading my favorite Historical Romance Novel series for the past couple of weeks to unwind after dealing with more than one illness that I, my husband, and my mother had that was weeks of suffering, fear, prayers, and then recovery. While I love so many of these movies and books that fill my heart with joy and hope in the midst of trials, I want to continue writing my own novels and songs to try to reach the world with the truth of Christ while I still can. The feeling and actual manifestations of censorship are guiding me to share the creations the Lord has inspired in me before we lose all of our Constitutional rights. AMERICANS MUST WAKE UP!

I’m seeing the disintegration of my country’s foundation in November 2020. Families are fighting against each other for diverse views, communities are turning on each other, and every single good thing this country has been known to protect for as long as I’ve been alive for the past forty-eight years is being attacked and even torn apart by those wanting to rewrite our real history, destroy this democratic republic to its core, and put our country under their totalitarian control while many people turn their blinded eyes away and accept it like sheep to the slaughter. When did Americans, the land of the free and the home of the brave, begin letting this happen? Where are the protectors of our way of life and liberty? WHERE!

Christian church members haven’t been able to assemble for services for months due to the global pandemic of Covid-19. We haven’t been allowed to be together as a group in like mind and one accord as the Bible stated we need to be in these times like the Apostles were in Acts. Could that happen if we were allowed to now? Those claiming to be Christian must remember that as prophecies are fulfilled we should be sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world to trigger the last great revival with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit showing that by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ and His shed blood on Calvary is the one and ONLY way for each and every immortal soul to be rescued from an eternity in Hell and be SAVED!

Salvation happens when we accept the blood given and are restored to right-standing with God Almighty, the three in one as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – like we have a body, a soul, and a spirit created by the One True Living God of creation. Humanity has a blood taint from sin that happened in the Garden of Eden, and the shedding of blood is the only way for God to forgive sins we ALL commit in the sinful flesh we are born with through heredity. Jesus Christ came to be that blood offering for us to accept for our eternal atonement, the Holy Spirit being returned to our sin-deadened spirits, and the final restoration of body when the last person finds Salvation through Christ to begin THE RAPTURE!

We have so much technology now that there is no excuse for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to not be shared over every single media possible on this earth! What is the Church doing? There are a few who are still using radio, internet, and other media to preach even if we can’t meet, BUT NOT MANY. Where is your FIRE, true believers in Jesus Christ? Do you have real oil for your lamp of witnessing to the world? Do you think this is all a fairy tale that will never happen? Really? I understand that some misused forms of religion for profit and with fear of destruction. THE REALITY OF JESUS CHRIST RETURNING IN MY LIFE TIME IS A REAL POSSIBILITY! Technology, science, and politics fit these prophecies more.

Look at the actual signs happening every day. Look at the major changing of the other countries’ associations that were unthinkable even five years ago. This fits with the parameters spoken of in Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelations up to a certain point that can CHANGE in the blink of an eye at a single moment when things shift the last bit needed. That shift will then kick off the final ‘blink of an eye’ that relates to disappearances of millions to billions of people that is an evacuation for Christ Believers off of this planet BEFORE the Great Tribulation occurs with major judgments from God Almighty, Creator of this entire universe of three dimensional time and any other dimensional realms, including Heaven and Satan’s Hell.

If you are a believer in Jesus Christ and Salvation through His blood then what are you doing in 2020? We have no time to waste. I might be labeled as crazy or a fear-mongering zealot, but the truth is the truth and let every man be a liar who goes against what is right in front of our own eyes! WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR CHRIST!? Hiding? Whispering encouragement over cellphones? Trying to stifle any panic you feel when you see the truth by ignoring the need for oil instead? COME ON, PEOPLE! Jesus Christ died on a cross for YOU, and most of the apostles then and over the years died martyr deaths too, so are you too spineless to stand up to “Roman soldiers” that are now totalitarian would-be rulers trying to steal OUR AMERICA!? GOD OF ELIJAH, SEND YOUR FIRE INSIDE YOUR PEOPLE NOW!!!

WE MUST HAVE A REVIVAL! Not some namby-pamby, we’re okay and you’re okay message to placate the ones burning, looting, and killing. NO! We need a Holy Ghost filled REVIVAL! Do YOU know Jesus Christ as your LORD, SAVIOR, GOD, and the KING OF HEAVEN? DO YOU!? Have you forgotten what your own ancestors did to protect this country in the past regardless of race, color, creed, background, origin, or even denomination? Are you going to let politics, affiliations, or social rankings keep you from doing what God Almighty is telling you to do RIGHT NOW? The Lord knows I’ve been failing to do all that I know I was supposed to be doing, but I won’t give up. I’LL JUST DO IT NOW!

Maybe the LAST GREAT REVIVAL isn’t going to happen in a church building. Maybe it will have to be through technology if someone is brave and inspired enough to send out the REAL GOSPEL MESSAGE. Once the last soul to be saved in the Grace Dispensation Period then the dead in Christ will rise and the Holy Spirit will transform those who are alive into their restored bodies of promise so we’ll be rescued out of this world before the Great Tribulation begins. Is it possible we’ll still be here for the first three and a half years of the first judgments in Revelations? Maybe. From my reading and my own understanding I believe we will be taken away BEFORE the first seal is broken. Know Jesus first!

Until the last few pieces of the puzzle of prophecy are placed we need to make sure we stand to protect this democratic-republic and refuse to let it be taken over by the SAME corrupt systems of false forms of government we have been fighting since the birth of our nation! Don’t let slick-talking perfect-world claiming fools blind you into voting for what is completely AGAINST real life. We can’t let them take down this country. We were created to be a stronghold of freedom’s light to the world, so we must NOT let our enemies take away our purpose for being here in the first place! While we vote our Faith we need to begin LIVING IT TOO! Anyone can be saved. Anyone can be changed. ANYONE CAN BE!

That is a small but powerful word. IF can make a mountain crumble. IF can part a sea. IF can give a ruler more life. IF can make a lame man walk and a blind man see. IF. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” If. That’s an important promise but also a binding contract. IF. We have to DO SOMETHING. We can’t sit on our pews and expect some other group to do what we were called to do. We can’t be quiet when we are the ones supposed to be crying out to God. We can’t complain when we don’t try to stop the evil.

Read the Christian Bible. Listen to Christian songs of Faith to give you strength and conviction like “God of Elijah” by Disciple, “Revival in the Land” by Carmen, and “God Is God” by Lance Palmer with R. W. Schambach. Reach out to everyone you can by using any media possible to lift up the weary believers and encourage the unsaved to find Salvation in Christ. This isn’t to scare people but to instruct and enlighten them with the Truth found ONLY in Jesus Christ. There is no other way to find the Peace that passes understanding, and right now in 2020, peace is an uncommon commodity unless you know that you know that you know… JESUS!

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! Seek Him and everything else will fall into place. ~TK~
