Fike Adventures

Where each day is an adventure, life is NEVER boring, and we find JOY in the little things.

I know that I have posted a good number of things on Facebook lately, that some of you think are crazy, and they could never happen.   Quite honestly, most of us wonder how it was possible for such cheating and deception to go on, let’s just say over the past 4 years.  I have done extensive research, and have had countless messages, sent to me from friends throughout the US.   The funny thing is, they all align with what I have been reading.  Dates and times that are given are most likely to confuse trolls.  If this happens, this will be justice being served.  If it does not happen, what have we got to lose in preparing for 2 weeks without electricity and internet?  I am not 100% sure they are true or wishful thinking, but so many people saying the same thing??? The very worst case would be, nothing happens and the candidates that did nothing to get them where they are, take their place on Wednesday.  With that being said, I wanted to write down a few things that we DO KNOW FOR SURE.  

WHAT WE KNOW:

God is good.

Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

God is just.

Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

The rapture could happen at any moment.   

I Thessalonians 4:16-18

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

We have read the end of the book; God wins in the end.

(Book of Revelations)

God is ALWAYS with us.

Isaiah 41:10 – Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Wars and take overs are not new to God.

Deuteronomy 20:1-4

1 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,

3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;

4 For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

Ecclesiastes 3:8 – A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Matthew 24:6 – And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Ephesians 6:11 – Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Evil rulers are not new to God.

King Darius

Daniel 6:6-9

6All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

8Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

9Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

King Nebuchadnezzar

Daniel 3:1-7

1Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

2Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

3Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

4Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,

5That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:

6And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

7Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Pharaoh

Exodus 1:22
22And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Ahab & Jezebel

I Kings 21:25-26

25But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

26And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

Psalms 37:1 – ([A Psalm] of David.) Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

God told us how we could be saved.

Romans 10:9-13

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God will bless us if we bless Israel.

Genesis 12:3

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

God wants our praise even in the bad times.

Psalm 35:18

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

1 Chronicles 16:35

And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

2 Samuel 22:4

I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Acts 16:24-26

24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

God is our safety in the storm.

Psalm 107:23-32

23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end.

28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

Our trust should be in God.

Psalm 20:7

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

God does not want us to be afraid.

2 Timothy 1:7 

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

God is in control.

Matthew 10:30-32

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

God wants to be FIRST in our lives.

1 Chronicles 16:25

For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

Psalm 135:5

For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

Matthew 22:37

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Mark 12:30

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

I don’t know what will happen today, or tomorrow, or the next day, but I  DO know the GOD who DOES KNOW what those days will bring, and already has the answers and solutions for any problems.  He IS the Master Planner. 

Trust GOD for who HE is.
