The burdenless yoke
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and
to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread
to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him;
and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall
spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward.
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take
away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; And if thou draw out thy soul
to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and
thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. Isaiah 58:6-11 -
What kind of burdens are we dealing with right now? For all of our differences we have in this
society, one commonality we all share is the weight of burdens. From the godly to the ungodly, the just and the unjust, we
all struggle with the burden of daily challenges. Whether it's the challenges of a single parent, a divorce, financial
hardships, physical afflictions, or spiritual warfare, the list is endless. Somewhere along the timeline of human advance
we have convinced ourselves it is natural to carry these burdens ourselves, relying on our own mortal strength. Somewhere
along the way we have forgotten we are not created to bear the burden of life's unrelenting challenges. We in the human
race have the option of being loosed from bearing the burdensome yoke of self-reliance. -
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and
my burden is light. Matt. 11:28-30 -Jesus Christ -
The verses I opened up with today is from the book of Isaiah chapter 58:6-11. When I heard the words of Isaiah I became
encouraged, in this hour encouraging words are warmly welcomed. I can't say for sure what we might be facing in the coming
months in America, or for the world even, but I do know we aren't alone. Those that allow themselves to be guided by there
own self-reliance will feel the deepest depths of loneliness. We must never forget to help those around us, not to worry for
our own health, and always glorify the Lord because he hears our cries. We live in a world that is relying on human strength,
a world that when not guided by God ends up blazing a path of lonely destruction we are currently pioneering. God can only
guide those of us who enlist His guidance. Are you tired of guiding yourself; are you ready to be guided by the Almighty? -
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought,
and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. Isaiah
58:11 -

A church is being raised.....
God is raising up a church, not just any church. This church won't be found solely in the confines of brick, sheet
rock, or metal. This church is an individual church, made up of individuals on fire and in tune with the message that
Jesus Christ is revealing to His children in these last days. I don't know for sure when the beginning of the sorrows
started for the nation of America, but I do seem to feel the events that have transpired in this last week and currently
are ushering in the definite collapse of America's insatiable lust for materialism, one of many idols exalted
to ever greater heights daily. Where other gods are exalted, the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, the God of all who
know His name cannot be exalted. The idol must come down. _When the Philistines
took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when they of Ashdod arose early on
the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and set him
in his place again. And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground
before the ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the
stump of Dagon was left to him- I Samuel 5:2-4. _
When it all comes down, are you
insured? Is your spiritual state in shambles, or is it reinforced by the Word of the LORD, strengthend by the power
of His might? Brothers and sisters, I cannot go on living without directing our attention to the areas we need to be
aware of, the dangers of not heeding a message that has been given, but few sadly will receive. Examine yourself, and
just ask yourself, what if the Bible is right? God Bless! Daniel Eggers

Just so you know....
Have you felt the spiritual shift, or shaking,
or lack of solid ground? When I watch the events transpiring on TV and unfolding on the net, I can't help but
wonder whats next. People I have known for years, very credible people, unshakable individuals are all saying the same
thing..... "Whats going to happen next?", "I've never seen these type of events happen before.", or "How
could they have let things get this bad?" Some of us have been caught off guard, while the supposed doom-sayers
over the past 35 or so years are now receiving the credibility they knew they never needed. The once
solid foundation as now left the building. It didn't just leave, it was dismantled, decommissioned, no longer
did the foundation of the once great nation deemed important. You don't have to be a structual engeneer
to knowif you don't have a foundation, you can't have a house, and once you have a house you can't expect it to
stand without a foundation.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these
sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall
of it. Matt. 7:24-27
I truly believe the rain have come, the flood waters continue to rise,
and the wind is just over the horizon. Are we established upon the Rock? America has obviously renovated,
replacing the once solid rock of God with a lesser god of materialism and greed, and just like every weak foundation, it holds
for a bit, but when the integrity is truly tested it fails, "and great was the fall of it". What have you built
your house upon? Greed, lust, self, or disbelief to name a few of these false foundation replacing contractors.
Soon we will see what we have built our lives, dreams, and salvation upon. It's never to late to remodel. Take charge,
God takes care of those that are built upon the Rock of His Son Jesus Christ. The wind is almost here, heed the message
and build. God Bless! Daniel Eggers
