T 2015— a horrible year for some but a year of conquering for others.
T America will not be able to stop Islamic jihadist attacks on our soil without intervention from God.
T America will not stop hate-centered rioting in our streets without direct intervention from God.
T America will not be able to avoid being sucked into World War III with- out turning to Jesus Christ for help.
This will be a year of great struggle and horrible disappointment for those dabbling in heresy and the world. They, themselves, by themselves, will weaken if not destroy their spiritual immune system, which will destroy their defense systems. We will witness many people in the beginning stages of self-destruction. I hate this!

You know that old saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” I am not trying to paint a picture here that I am this super guy with no issues. I fight similar battles here on the earth as others do. I have to fight from having hurt feelings or inner battles over betrayals and desertions, just like anyone else. I have an army of critics who don’t like me, and many hate me; but I do not live and breathe to serve them or please them. I live and breathe to serve King Jesus. I am sure you are
the same.
I am one of those people who takes life very seriously. This doesn’t mean I don’t have any fun or do fun things. It does mean I am deeply committed to live a victorious life, conquering our enemies and advancing by pressing toward the mark. Some have claimed this is simply my “no surrender, do or die” Marine Corps training. Though I would never deny that has some- thing to do with it, I attribute most of it to what I have learned in the Word of God.
My fathers in the faith had this same “never quit” attitude. It wasn’t a set of doctrines rather a deep, deep conviction to serve God to the death (which, by the way,
Here is one of my favorite verses and one we may really need to cling to as this year unfolds:
