We’re going to begin with this true statement:
Our ‘faith’ in God and His Word is directly proportional to how big and powerful we believe or perceive our God to be.
Does it matter whether a Christian truly believes the Bible’s amazing stories? What, for example, would it matter if a Christian didn’t believe the Creation or Salvation stories? Continue reading

Oh folly of man, oh arrogance of my kindred, whilst thou would not humblest thyself in the knowledge of thy God and recognize His greatness amidst the bottomless quality 
of thy immeasurable comparative insignificance, others accomplish His will whilst thy bosom remains empty.

From The Heart, God is Great!, Love, Meaning of Life, Poems, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind
Remember, our needs are met in Christ Jesus even as the Flowers of the field.
It’s just that sometimes we don’t feel or understand where God is going with our lives.
For your edification and enjoyment…
In great beauty you are spun from soil and air,
Light from distant sun and seed of formers fair;
Then with great beauty once again you are spun,
Until in your juniors your face smiles towards distant sun.

What are you learning?
If you were called upon to prepare a group of people for a wide-ranging existence…
Where they needed to love the unlovable and show kindness to those who did not seem to deserve kindness…
What kind of environment would you prepare for your people?
Would you not create an environment where the principles and characteristics of kindness and love were not generally displayed and seldom offered on a daily basis?
Wouldn’t you instead put your people face to face with Continue reading

Have you ever seen an Angel?
I did, when I was nine years old. It was in the skies overhead when I saw it. The Angel simply looked at me and smiled. Then I was immediately filled with the Holy Spirit and began to hear God’s voice. Truly an amazing experience!
During the course of our ministry this question occasionally comes up, so we’ll address it.
Here goes…
Who are the Children of God scripture alludes to in Revelation 7:13-14; you know, those Saints of God clothed in white robes?
Well, according an Angel of the Lord, and I quote: Continue reading

Oh God, what if –
I were to You obey –
With all my life, through all my days,
endure my cross, obey Your will,
regardless the pain or strife I feel
Bear humiliations and sorrow’s
cold breath
Brave disgrace and live bereft
Face the choice of a martyr’s short, short life
Just to live my life for Christ?

As a young-person I was taught the Great Tribulation was the Wrath of God and therefore the Body of Christ would be Raptured before the Tribulation Period came upon the world.
You know – the whole…
“For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9 NKJV).
For some reason the secular world along with Lukewarm Christians were going to 
suffer 7 years of Judgment just for Judgment sake AND no one could truly explain why.
What I wanted to know was GOD’S plan and no one seemed to have real answers.
Pastors and laypersons gave me platitudes as to why God would visit Double-Jeopardy upon a sinful world – but no one could provide a solid reason behind “The Great Tribulation’s” 7 years of summary Judgment.
(So God brought me to this place) Continue reading

The Nail is in the coffin for EVERY End-Times Teaching/Doctrine that does not agree with The Great Consummation Message.
Just like the Apostle Paul knew he was bringing a genuine Gospel message when he wrote Romans 8:1-2
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (KJV)
So we know the message in “This Side of the Whirlwind” comes from the Lord.
How do we know? Continue reading

The Great Consummation is an element within the Latter Days timeline even as the Beginning of Sorrows and Battle of Armageddon are also elements within the Latter Days. The Great Consummation is the second half of Christ’s two-part covenant (Daniel 9:27)
The Beginning of Sorrows is an element of God’s plan for the Latter Days which has likely already begun, an element which must take place before the Great Consummation can begin.
Consider these elements and then answer the conjecture above for yourself; namely, has the Beginning of Sorrows begun?
Jesus said, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Matthew 24:6-8 NLJV)
Have you noticed these elements taking place in abundance? Continue reading
