SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

I am not a regular TV watcher and I live in the Pasadena area so when the fires started last weekend, I really didn't know how terrible they were until my nephew responded to an email - the fires are bad - will contact you later.

He happens to live in the hills of Malibu. When I did turn on the evening news, I like many of you, saw the huge fire in Camarillo, Glendale, Rialto and smaller ones all over the area near freeways

Hmm. The reporter says it is the weather, hot and dry, and the winds. Hmm.

Thousands of fire fighters were dispatched to the north and then the east and then the south. And it was all because of the weather?

What should have been a worse disaster which looks very suspicious. It looks more like planned arson, but it was cut short by DIVINE INTERVENTION.

Did you see any rain clouds on Friday, May 3rd?

On May 2, the National Day of Prayer, hundreds of thousands gathered in the north (Sacramento) in the East (Bakersfield, Palmdale, Victorville), in the South (San Diego, San Marco) and in the West (Los Angeles) to up hold our nation in prayer and reclaim our heritage, "One Nation Under God."

It would seem to me that God was pleased. He sent the rains. Lots of rains enough to put out the fires and dampen the potential damage which could have been in the billions.

Speaking of Divine Intervention, did you know there is a Pentagon Channel on Satellite? You need to look for that station. Yesterday I saw the story of Desmond Doss. What a hero! A conscientious objector, he volunteered to serve as a Medic in World War II. He refused to carry or touch a gun. Yet he was willing to serve his country in the US Army. After a harsh two years of training and discrimination from his superiors, the entire platoon to Okinawa and participated in the a battle that lost 15,000 soldiers, 115,000 Japanese troops and 100,000 Okinawans.

Desmond without a gun, showed bravery beyond measure. He ran to the gun fire.
And when the fighting lulled, he silently all night crawled into the brush to retrieve the bodies of his fallen comrades and look for the wounded and dragged them to safety in peril of his own life. According to the reports, a Japanese soldier even had Doss in his sights but when he pulled the trigger, his rife misfired several times and then he stopped trying to kill Doss as he knew this was something unusual.

He saved more than 75 wounded men in the Battle for Okinawa in one evening and many, many more. He later suffered a tremendous wound himself that put him on the permanently disabled list. Throughout his service he kept his faith in Jesus Christ and his determination to keep his sabbath, no matter the ridicule or punishment from his superiors. And, during this battle in Okinawa, he saved the life of his commander, the very one who mistreated him. God honored him. And later his own men in his company recommended him for Congressional Medal of Honor. His faith was Seventh Day Adventist.

This is why I believe it is so important for Christians to major or the major and forget the minors. The Bible says if you "call upon the name of the Lord," you shall be saved. He never said if you are Protestant or Catholic, Charismatic or Baptist.

It is all about Jesus! What will we do about Jesus?


When we serve God, faithfully, and truthfully, He will divinely intervene when we need Him the most.

Thank you Lord, for sending the Showers of Blessings to Southern California today and putting out all the fires!

And Thank you Lord, for allowing us to be an American and to live in a Christian nation that welcomes people of all faiths, cultures and nationalities.

If we lived in a non-Christian nation, we would never experience the freedom and liberty we enjoy in America. God bless you and God bless America.
