Happy 4th of July. What’s this celebration all about? -Ray

Few Americans today really understand the roots that brought about this celebration with fireworks every Fourth of July. That’s not because most Americans don’t care. It’s because this is no longer being taught in most schools across America, universities included. I learned the full answer when I was in elementary school.

There are many who defend their ignorance by asking, “Why should I care about the roots? What difference does it make? The moment I hear that the roots are more than 200 years old, I could care less. I live in the 21st century.” Well, in most places throughout this country the Fourth of July is a holiday where businesses are closed and we Americans are free to spend the day at picnics, fireworks demonstrations, barbecuing, or doing whatever else they’d like to do. Don’t you think it would be worthwhile to understand why all this freedom is given to you every Fourth of July?

I know that patriotism in America has been all but stopped because it might offend someone. The American flag can be spit on, torn in shreds or burned because the United States Supreme Court says all that is okay. And “the home of the brave and the land of the free” has been replaced today with “the home of the caved and the land of the ME ME ME.”

Nevertheless, I have hope in my heart that you are one of the rare individuals who does want to know why the Fourth of July celebrations will be happening again this year. A lot of men died more than 200 years ago so that you can have this holiday. Here are the facts from history…… –Ray

Chapter 8 Fifth Key: The Tishri Connection

Chapter 8 Fifth Key: The Tishri Connection


The holiest month on the biblical Hebrew calendar is that of Tishri. On the Western calendar Tishri falls in the period between September and October. It is so sacred a month that ten of its days are known as “the High Holy Days.” Every Hebrew month begins with the day or night of the new moon. But the month of Tishri is so sacred that the day on which it begins, it’s new moon is itself a high holy day. Most Hebrew months contain none of the sacred appointed holy days given at Sinai. But Tishri contains ten of them, not including at least nine other days also deemed as holy. Thus there is no month in the biblical year like Tishri. What are its themes, its meaning, and his message?

The month of Tishri is also known as the time of judgment. It’s opening day, the Feast of Trumpets, is also known as Yom Ha Din, or “the Day of Judgment.” During the Feast of Trumpets the shofars are sounded. The sound of the shofar is not only that of a solemn gathering but is the sound of alarm and warning, the harbinger of approaching danger, the warning of impending judgment. Tishri is the month of reckoning, when the nation stands before God and when sin is dealt with.

In view of the judgment associated with this coming, Tishri has become the month of repentance. The “Ten Days of Awe” with which the month begins are also called “The Days of Teshova.” Teshovah” is the Hebrew word  for repentance. It comes from the root word shuv, which means “to turn. The Days of Awe were given for the purpose of turning the course of one’s life, forgiving and being forgiven, repenting of one’s sins, withdrawing from worldly pursuits, and doing whatever was needed to get right with man and God.

Shadrach in the 21st Century – Ray

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/man-praying.jpg

I know that Shadrach along with his buddies Meshach and Abednego were placed in a furnace that caused a huge utility bill. It was Daniel who faced the lions in the lion’s den.  But I also know that the same Lion of Judah saved these three guys just like he did save Daniel. Please allow me to share the following story with you….. –Ray

SHADRACH IN THE 21st CENTURY

by Ray Mossholder

I love God with my heart and soul,

Serving Him is my full goal,

To put Him first, to follow Him, the men

Because He’s filled me to the brim.

With the Holy Spirit I’m overflown

And only live to make Christ known.

 

I read in the headlines this very day

That my Bible I’m to put away

Or burn it, destroying all the pages

That were written by the Rock of Ages.

 

How foolish man is to think he’ll stand

And be the ruler of this land

When he defies the laws of God.

I really think it very odd

That the government would go so far

As to completely forget just who we are.

From Mayflower on, God’s been with us

And blessed America. “In God We Trust”

Is more than a motto, more than a saying,

We trust Him and should be obeying

HIS laws, not man’s that contradict

And disagree with God in sad conflict.

 

They’ve come for me, pounding hard on my door

Screaming my name as they roar

that I will die for my Christian stance

And in a cell will do a dance

Of apology to these fine people

Who hate my Christ and my church’s steeple.

 

I pray as I open the door for this mob

And am strangely fearless knowing these would rob

My life from me; attempting to steal and destroy

My joy, my faith; I tell them “Boy,

Can you be a wee bit quieter so my neighbors can sleep?

It’s nearly midnight and all of you in a heap

Can easily take hold of just one me

In this land of the brave and home of the free.

 

“Shut up!” the biggest of them says and slaps me across my face.

“Where’s your Bible, Christian, show us now, don’t slow down our pace.”

I lead them into the living room where I’ve spent full nights in prayer.

Then I point to it and one reaches to pick it up and tear.

But I see his pain as he touches it and he yells out again.

“What’s wrong my friend?” I ask him, and a lion comes out of His den,

To stand before these frightened men who all are stepping back.

The lion licks his lips and says, “What a luscious midnight snack!”

 

The men fall to their knees and beg for him to spare their lives.

“We have 14 kids between us,” they cry, “And all of us have wives.”

“I am the Lion of Judah” He tells them, and you know Me as Jesus Christ.

Not the swear word you all use to blaspheme me

And I won’t tell you twice

That if ever you come after this friend of mine again

I’ll be back and the second time won’t return to My den

Without eating you all or any others who come in this mindless war

To trouble Christians who are My friends and frighten them with gore.

I’m saying you’ll die a bloody death, I will not hesitate.

So whatever you have to do when you leave to convince your leaders to stop, don’t wait.

It will be the wisest convincing you have ever done

And when you go out this front door don’t think that you can run.

Or next time they’ll need a mop to wipe away the parts of you that I don’t choose to taste.

Tell them what happened here. That we’ve met face to face.

 

Before you go, I give you the chance to give your life to Me.

And He suddenly wasn’t a lion, but the Man from Calvary.

Everyone gasped and stayed on their knees and prayed the sinner’s prayer.

“Now as you confront your leaders, you will be in My care.

I’ll give you the words to say to them that will suddenly change what they think,

Only one will say no and he’ll be dead before anyone can blink.

That will help change the others minds and guarantee success.

And know that I’ll go with you into what’s been this awful mess.”

 

Then Christ turned to me and said, “Your prayers have been like a 911 call.

I’ll be here again around 1 a.m. and we’ll have a real ball.

Well done my good and faithful friend, this insanity is through.

And your nation has been saved from collapse by people just like you.

 

The key to change for your nation has been prayer and living for Me,

That’s the only way any nation will thrive and find that it is free.

“So let’s go meet those bad guys, friends, and lead them to Me too.”

They left and Christ came back at 1 and my country was brand new.

Dr. John Hagee – The Four Blood Moons

http://reachmorenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/th-2.jpg

Dr. John Hagee has been preaching for more than 50 years. He teaches on many things. And one of his major interests is a scholarly examination of the end times. Along with Jonathan Cahn and many other prophetic Bible scholars, Dr. Hagee believes the four blood moons, two which took place during 2014 and two more that will occur in 2015, have great biblical significance regarding Israel, America, and the whole world. Just like Jonathan Cahn is doing, Dr.Hagee is risking international ridicule if what he shares on this video doesn’t take place. I believe these two great men need you to hear them and be prepared for this coming year. Here is Dr. Hagee to explain why he is willing to risk his reputation so that he can tell you in advance what he believes God says about the four blood moons. – Ray

MY NAME IS AMERICA. DON"T TREAD ON ME.

http://holyhugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/new-york-statue-of-liberty.jpg

This is a song to all terrorists, no matter what name they go by. This is been true for more than 200 years. I don’t put it on this web in defiance, but in prayer for all Americans. It isn’t America itself, but the one true God who has blessed it, that has kept it able to sing this song. May that be true as long as the world exists.

If ever there was a time to know that the devil is real and demons are too, it is now. And they are all over the world. These terrorists are demon driven. The only power to confront them with is the power of the Holy Spirit. Be sure you know Christ and you are allowing the Holy Spirit to motivate you. – Ray

SID ROTH WITH JONATHAN CAHN IN SEPTEMBER 2014: AMERICA NOW

Is America about to be destroyed? Jonathan Cahn, author of the runaway bestseller The Harbinger, was 100% right on in all that book told the world. Now Sid Roth interviewed him less than a week ago about his second book and what is about to happen to our country. – Ray
