A tsunami warning was in effect for coastal areas of Alaska’s Cook Inlet and southern Kenai Peninsula after an earthquake Friday with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0, according to a bulletin from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

    Now take a good look at this photo. Put yourself in the people’s place and tell me if God is worthy to be served.
    Around you is suddenly collapsed by over 14 feet by my estimation and you stand in the middle, your car is safe….. think about it.
    My people we are still alive because of the mercy of God but one day all of this will end. Whether we die first or He shows up just as He has promised. Many people say ” long i hear about His coming and He is yet to show up” People He is closer not that when Paul said so!
    Our season is coming to a close and another season is coming. Our season is the period of Grace! All we have to do is believe and let Him lead us through the Holy Spirit to do His will. Let us take full advantage of this grace because it will never come again.
    The dead cannot praise God! NOW is the right time while we are alive! Take action. Repent, pray to the Lord Jesus Christ for it is only through Him we are spared. Eliminate the things which are our little…

    Alaska averages 1000 earthquake per month that makes aprox 12,000 per year. It becomes news when it affects population..infact globally earthquake is a constant phenomenon. Just the big ones in populated areas make news.
