Monday, 21 September 2015 and some of you are still in your sin of "Unbelief" and some are waiting for the trumpet to sound and we will be Changed, Maranatha. Hope you have a Bible and are reading the scriptures each and every day. I urge you to read the daily suggested scriptures before you spend any time with my comments. Pay attention to the dramatic change in the tone of the LORD's remarks recorded in Isaiah 40. Read and believe the promises offered and also the conditions related to those verses.
