A Call to Intimacy
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity. And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings. And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.” Hosea 4:6–9 (ASV)
“Wow, that’s an indictment, isn’t it? Talking, He is here, specifically to His people Israel, and his priests, the people that He has put in charge of handling the things of the Lord. And He’s not happy with either one in this set of Scriptures right here. And the reason I say that this kind of applies to this time frame? Because I dare you to turn on the news and listen to what’s coming out of your nation’s government. They’re not liking to hear what God has to say, very much like these people here. But what I’m going to tell you goes further than that. The indictment goes to the pulpits of America.”
Pastor JoAnn continues in this video on the need to return to God’s ways.
Where Is Your Focus?
Pastor JoAnn has recently received the warning from many friends and acquaintances: “Be careful you don’t take on too many things, that you’re not doing too many things.” This seems like a wise warning, but it can cause unnecessary fear and anxiety if one’s focus doesn’t remain on the Lord. Join JoAnn as she discusses the daily pressures of a busy Christian.
We Are Absolutely in the End Times
Pastor JoAnn can’t be swayed: she is certain that we are living in the End Times. In this video, she shares the results of her studying the prophecies of what is to come, and what we are to do about it.
“With that in mind (that we are in the End Times), He’s about to do a new thing. And what He's doing is bringing His body—to born-again believers that are part of the body of Christ—He’s bringing us together in unity.”
Family in the End Times
Despite the trials that we are likely to face, God will be here to protect those who love Him. “Begin to become family to those who love the Lord,” says Pastor JoAnn.
