Who Are The
BUILDERS
That
Reject “The Head Of The Corner”, Jesus Christ?
A.
The Word of God has repeatedly prophesied that there would be
“builders” that would reject God's delegated authority
the Messiah/Jesus Christ.
Mat
21:42 Jesus saith unto them , Did ye never read in the scriptures ,
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of
the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our
eyes? Mar 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which
the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: Luk 20:17 And
he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The
stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the
corner?
and,
Act
4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which
is become the head of the corner.
1Pe
2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in
Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on
him shall not be confounded.
1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which
believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the
stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the
corner,
B.
Jesus and the apostles are quoting in the above texts from the
Psalms.
Psa
118:22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head
[stone] of the corner.
C.
These texts also declare that the same rejected “Head of the
Corner” shall become the very Cornerstone—the Head of the
Corner. Consider the paradox. What the Builders reject is God's
choice. What the Builders reject and resist is that which shall
overcome them and become the very thing they sought to defeat and
replace.
D.
We observe through these texts and others that it was the religious
system that rejected God, His Son and His will. They were promoting a
rebellious religion of man. It contained leaders and followers and
all the emblements as in buildings and mythos.*
*[EMBLEMENTS: 1.
annual crops and vegetable products cultivated by man's labour. 2.
the profits from such crops;
MYTHOS: 1. the underlying system of
beliefs, especially those dealing with supernatural forces,
characteristic of a particular cultural group.]
Note:
These two words were prompted to me as I was writing this.
E.
These “builders” sought their own will. They created
religious institution(s) they imagined in their minds. Their hearts
had been corrupted and drove them to build with their hands false
religious systems that denied God and His Son.
F. The builders
refused to believe. I have written in previous times about this. To
obey is to believe. To believe is to be declared righteous by God as
our example of Abraham, who believed God and was accounted righteous.
Gal
3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for
righteousness.
1Pe
2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them]
which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they
were appointed.
G.
The builders are builders of unbelief and rebellion.
H.
They serve the works of their own hands. 3
texts: Jer 1:16; Jet 25:14; Ac 7:41. Worshiping the works of their
hands...
I.
They use God but will not serve God. They use God as a means for
their own deceitful desires, money, fame and secret illicit pleasure
behind closed doors. (The 3 “G's”; gold, girls and the
glory) 1Jn
2:16
J.
The builders of this kind follow the example of their father Satan
the devil. He too was a liar, murder and thief who wanted to be above
God.
K.
Today, there are many who build many things. Both secular and in the
“spiritual” world of religion, there are builders
building things that God has not ordained. These are the “builders”
that reject the Head of the Corner.
L.
But woe, woe woe. Everyone who will not bow the knee to Jesus by
falling upon the Rock, shall have this Rock fall upon them and grind
them to powder. This is the declaration of the Lord Jesus Christ
Himself.
Mat
21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
M.
There are builders building the kingdom of Satan. They build many
things in many ways, sizes and shapes for various purposes. The
bottom-line is that they build in the spirit of Babylon that seeks to
exalt itself into the heavens. They do not sanctify the LORD but
rather mix various gods, spirits, and doctrines of demons in a sinful
manner of the flesh.
N. There are ancient cult groups that are
known today as secret societies. They have banded together in their
rebellion to create what the scriptures calls the BEAST. They love
their works and gleefully sin against the LORD. Their god is Satan.
They call him Lucifer, the light-bearer, or illuminating god. They
also believe that their illumination comes by way of the eaten fruit
of the tree of knowledge of good and evil making them superior great
ones. Indeed, there is a satanic illumination for those who have
chosen this mode of sorcery and magical imagination.
O. The
Greek religion glorified the fall of Adam and Eve. Their goddesses
magnified the illuminated Eve after she “saw” by way of
the serpent's illumination. Zeus, with his lightning rods, depict the
illumination that comes from the 'god-maker' Satan. The Greek
religion despised the sons of Noah. They despised the God of Gods,
the LORD, the lover and compassionate Father who promised eternal
life before the fall. One of their gods Atlas pushes away the heavens
from the earth in mocking and impugning the Creator.
P. So,
today we have religious “builders” who as the ancient
Pharisees, scribes, elders and Sadducees, do not love God as proven
by the fact that they do not receive the One sent by God. Jn
5:42-43
They
do not have the Word of God abiding in them, and thus do not know
what God is indeed saying. Jn
5:38
The
sound of the voice of the LORD is to them a strange sound. They hear
the words but they do not register in their cognitive mind. This is
what Jesus said. They could hear the sound of Jesus speech (latria),
but could not understand His Word (logos-concept). Jn
8:43
Q.
The danger for the religious builders of rebellion is that they
become the enemies of God. They will end up crucifying the messenger
of God as they did all the prophets, even the Messiah, and His
followers throughout history. This is the cup that all true believers
in Jesus must drink. It is the will of God to suffer as our Lord
Jesus has also suffered. We are to walk in His steps through His
grace. 1Peter
2:21
R.
As well, there are the secret society natural carnal men who are
builders of the Satanic Beast System. They build structures, systems
and esoteric belief systems that are Babylonian, Greek and Roman.
Everything they do and think is on this foundational stone of
idolatry, rebellion and devilish thinking and desire.
S. The
Word of God declares that these “builders” will band
together under their head Satan, the devil, the Dragon, and will
literally seek to make war against God and the Lamb. Revelation
19:19 and Psalms 2
T.
“T” for today---I call you to be careful what you are
building. What are you building? Are you building as led by the
Spirit of God? Are you building in obedience of faith? Or are you as
the rebels who go about worshiping and serving the works of their own
hands?
Faith comes by hearing, and by hearing by the Word of God.
Romans
10:17
You
must hear the Word of God to obey. The religious world and the rebels
of the world refuse to hear Him that speaks from Heaven. Hebrews
12:25
U.
“U” for you should consider the admonition of apostle
Paul in this regard and consider it carefully.
1Cr
3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,
[ye are] God's building.
1Cr 3:10 According to the grace of God
which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the
foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed
how he buildeth thereupon.
1Cr 3:11 For other foundation can no
man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1Cr 3:12 Now if any
man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood,
hay, stubble;
1Cr 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest:
for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire;
and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1Cr
3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall
receive a reward.
1Cr 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he
shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
1Cr 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the
Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Cr 3:17 If any man defile the
temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy,
which [temple] ye are. 1Cr 3:18 ¶ Let no man deceive himself. If
any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a
fool, that he may be wise. 1Cr 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is
foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their
own craftiness.
1Cr 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts
of the wise, that they are vain. 1Cr 3:21 Therefore let no man glory
in men. For all things are yours; 1Cr 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos,
or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or
things to come; all are yours; 1Cr 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and
Christ [is] God's.
2.
God Does Not Fit In The Imagination Of Man. The Heavens Can Not
Contain God!
A.
The revelation that God has given regarding Himself is that the
heavens cannot contain Him for He is so vast!
1Ki
8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and
heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that
I have builded?
2Ch
2:6 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and
heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who [am] I then, that I should
build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
B.
God is so magnificent and beyond our natural comprehension. This is
why God has told us we cannot see Him lest we die. He Hides His power
yet is known by the things He has created. Exodus
33:20; Habakkuk 3:4; Romans 1:20
C.
God is infinite. Infinite love, infinite knowledge, infinite power
and so infinitely infinite! The angels in heaven constantly declare,
“Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD God Almighty, which was, as is,
and is to come”! Rev
4:8
D.
Jesus told the religious leaders that they did not know His Father.
Jesus said that they had never heard His voice nor seen His shape.
Obviously in the scriptures there are visions of God, but none of the
visions are the full representation of God Himself. However, God the
Father is revealed in His Son who is the very image and stamped
representation of His character. If you have seen Jesus you have
seen, as were, the Father. Yet, the religious system, the builders of
rebellion, conspired to murder this Jesus and executed their plans
with the political power of Rome—Caesar.
Hbr
1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of
his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when
he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high;
Jhn
5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness
of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his
shape. Jhn 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he
hath sent, him ye believe not. Jhn 5:42 But I know you, that ye have
not the love of God in you. Jhn 5:43 I am come in my Father's name,
and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye
will receive.
E.
God has commanded man to abstain from idols. We are not to make
images of God. This is to lower God and is an insult to His supreme
magnificent glory. Therefore, now we understand why we should be
careful to limit God by our limited knowledge and understanding. We
understand that God being so infinite and limitless we should desire
to give Him the glory due His name and not insult Him by our
imaginations, our works of our own hands, nor creating images of Him
whether physical, spiritual or imaginary. (note the word imaginary
and its use of “image”)
F.
Consider that the heavens are God's throne! Take a look and open your
eyes, look above and realize, that those heavens are the throne of
God and yet cannot contain His Person. Isa
66:1 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the
earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me?
and where [is] the place of my rest? Act 7:49 Heaven [is] my throne,
and earth [is] my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the
Lord: or what [is] the place of my rest?
G.
This mediation on the vast limitless and greatness of God should
serve many things for us. It shows us that we must respect God. We
can see why we should be at peace and trust Him. He is limitless. His
nature is loving, kind, slow to anger and of great mercies. He
provides for the birds to eat. He clothes even the little flowers
with more glory than King Solomon. Shall not this great God the
Father also give us the things He knows we need? Since He gave His
only begotten Son Jesus, to die for our sins so we would not perish,
but have eternal life, shall He not also give us freely the things we
need? Yes, absolutely yes. God is so good and faithful.
We should
also beware of limiting God. We must take care not to create false
images of Him in our mind, or even in physical representations. We
should want to be careful not to offend our God, who made us, and not
we ourselves.
Psa
100:3 Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made
us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his
pasture. Psa 95:7 For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his
pasture, and the sheep of his truned backhand...Psalms 78:41 They
turned back, tempted God, and "limited" the Holy One of
Israel.
H.
We can observe how the “builders” of religion disobey God
and make their images. They disobey God and make their own creations.
They disobey God, being ignorant of God, and become base men of
depravity of wicked devices and abominations. God calls them, “brute
beasts”.
2Pe
2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and
destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and
shall utterly perish in their own corruption; Jud 1:10 But these
speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know
naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
3.
The “Testimony” Of Jesus. What Is It?
A.
The “testimony” of Jesus, scripturally, is that which
Jesus is declaring in His authoritative office.
"Testimony
of Jesus used four times. Rev 1:2, 1:9, Rev 12:17, 19:10. Rev 1:2 Who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he saw.
B.
The above texts states that the record of the word of God and the
testimony of Jesus Christ...and of all things that He saw.
C.
Rev
1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him,
to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and
he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:
D.
The Father gave Jesus a revelation. Jesus “signified” and
sent that revelation, the things that He saw, by an angel. Angels are
messengers. The angel then ministered to apostle John the testimony
of Jesus.
E.
Greek
Lexicon regarding Revelation 1:2 the word "testimony".
Martyria 1) a testifying a) the office committed to the prophets of
testifying concerning future events 2) what one testifies, testimony,
i.e. before a judge
F.
What I intend to convey here is that the testimony of Jesus is what
He is saying, declaring and revealing. It is the Word of God through
Jesus.
G. Sadly, not all professing Christians have the
testimony of Jesus. They do not know what He is saying. Often, too
often, they do not care. Even worse, besides not knowing the
testimony of Jesus, not caring what it is, but there are those who
resist and oppose the testimony of Jesus as did the religious rebels
in times past.
H. However, there will be true saints in the
last days who have this testimony of Jesus and keep the commandments
of God.
Rev
12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and
have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
(The
commandments of God are those He is speaking to us through His Son.
Jesus is our Lawgiver. He is not dead like Moses. He speaks today to
His flock. His commands are also written in what is called the New
Testament. He has called us to love the LORD our God and to love our
neighbor as ourselves. Moses was replaced as the Lawgiver by Jesus as
Moses and the Father declared in Dt. 18. Hebrews 7 also speaks in
this regard. If we love Jesus then we will keep His
commandments.)
I.
Note the testimony of Apostle John in this matter: Rev
1:9 ¶ I John, who also am your brother, and companion in
tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in
the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
J.
John our brother in Christ, stood for the Word of God and the
testimony of Jesus Christ---what God the Father had revealed to Him.
This was an important vital message that God used John to scribe in
the book of Revelation. It is the Word of God.
K. But note
the tribulation, and trouble that comes due to the Word of God ladies
and gentlemen. Note John's words that he was a companion in
tribulation. He had the endurance necessary to pursue forward into
the Kingdom of God. This is a battle. This is a war over the true
words of God.
L. Seek the Lord. Seek His face. Hear His
voice. Eat of His Words. Find the precious true words of the LORD
that are indeed the testimony of Jesus.
M. Forsake the
religious fads and buzz words that are not of God. Run to the Lord
who is the true living Word of God.
4.
You Have Been Already Warned Regarding The
Snare
Coming
Upon the Earth.
A.
Jhn
14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it
is come to pass, ye might believe
B.
Jhn
16:1 ¶ These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not
be offended. Jhn 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea,
the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth
God service. Jhn 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because
they have not known the Father, nor me. Jhn 16:4 But these things
have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that
I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the
beginning, because I was with you.
C.
Luk
21:34 ¶ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your
hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares. Luk 21:35 For as
a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole
earth. Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man.
5.
Spelling It Out.
A..
It is hard for people to accept that it will come to pass that “true
Christians will be persecuted by the government.”
B. It
is equally hard for people to accept that it will come to pass that
“true Christians will be beaten in religious centers”
termed “synagogues “ by Jesus. (Synagogues are the
buildings that religious Jews met in similar fashion as the custom of
religious Christians meet in “church” buildings
today.
C.
Spelling it out, because corrupt lying governmental leaders hate the
truth or being exposed, they will use every device to eliminate such
threat.
D.
The reason such persecution will take place is because evil people
hate the light. They hate exposure. They will not do right and they
will not repent for the most part of their evil deeds. Therefore,
they will persecute true Christians. They will take some of you into
custody. They will beat some of you in the religious environment
centers (“synagogues” or “churches”). And,
some of you they will kill.
Link:An
article I wrote February 2, 2005 about the persecution that is coming
yet the people are not prepared! Betrayal by closest associations.
Taken into custody. Put in prison. Stand before governors, kings and
authorities to speak for God. Beaten in synagogues. * (Synagogues
are the meeting place for God’s people in Jesus’ day) I
will comment on how this will happen in the United States later.
Persecuted Hated Executed
E.
Now it is evident that the laws are being changed to facilitate
harming people that have done nothing wrong other than to be a light
that exposes darkness. Even “free speech” will become
illegal when it comes to rebuking criminal and unlawful acts of the
powers-that-be. Criticism of immorality will have a penalty for those
willing to tell the truth.
F. Understand that people of
religion and Churchianity
have
their zeal and fervor based in the flesh—religious flesh, and
not Jesus Himself.
G.
People that have their allegiance and alliance with men of
institutional Christianity, for example, find themselves at odds with
the Head of the Church Jesus Christ. Our allegiance of faithfulness
is to Jesus Himself; not to an institution, not to a church , not to
a “pastor” or teacher. It was Jesus who came to take away
our sins by bearing in His own body our sins. It is through Jesus
that we have redemption by faith in His shed blood at the cross.
H.
“H” for hellish scene:
I
can perceive in the LORD this scene which is a fulfillment of the
words of Jesus how the religious system will literally beat true
faithful disciples of Christ in their religious centers. Consider the
Lord sending His proclaimers into the religious churches as God the
Father sent Jeremiah among the worshipers at the temple. The true
servants of the Lord come with the word of the Lord to call the
people to repentance and sincere faith in Jesus. They come with the
unction from the Lord to declare the truth what is really going on in
the world from God's perspective. That message is unwanted for the
most part! It will not be received as usual when God sends His
servant-disciples. In a day that there is great catastrophe, fear,
hunger, with the world under judgment, the religious world under
judgment, people losing their homes, jobs, and personal effects, a
time of every man for himself. It will be, “Pan Demonium!”
There will be Peace in Christ; pandemonium without.
PANDEMONIUM:
Dictionary---1. wild uproar or unrestrained disorder; tumult or
chaos. 2. a place or scene of riotous uproar or utter chaos. 3. (
often initial capital letter ) the abode of all the demons. 4. hell.
Synonyms 1, 2. bedlam, turmoil, babel.
I.
An atmosphere of upheaval--(Civil distress, sedition, division,
uprising, deception, betrayal, hunger, fear, callous hearts,
deceivers and the deceived being deceived)
A
picture of inside the Apostate Church-World Churches:
I
can see a person in their fleshly emotions responding to the truth of
rebuke, exhortation or admonition by striking or kicking the
messenger. I can see the people joining in and letting out their
frustration, anger and hopelessness as their worldly passions are
dashed in pieces in the last days.
J.
These will be days that are unprecedented. These are days unlike any
days before. And, truly, there have been days of great hardship and
even destruction in times past as we recall Noah's flood, the demise
of the original Babylon, and the judgment of God upon Israel and
Judah the apostate people of God whom God displaced from the land of
Israel.
K. They will beat you in the religious centers ladies
and gentlemen. That is, if you are a true follower of Jesus. If you
are truly speaking the truth and refusing the lies of the day. Truth
will be illegal, resisted and opposed to the point of death.
L.
It will truly come to pass just as Jesus has said it would. If you
have the grace of God to perceive correctly, you can see that we are
in the times of the apostasy. We are in times of great deception with
the religious pedestal leaders misleading the multitudes away from
the simple path in Jesus Christ. They are leading the way to
antichrist; not Jesus Christ.
Jer
7:28 ¶ But thou shalt say unto them, This [is] a nation that
obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth
correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
M.
Truth has perished as in the days of Jeremiah. The word of the LORD
is not cherished nor desired.
Jer
6:10 ¶ To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may
hear? behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken:
behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no
delight in it.
N.
God's faithful remnant shall suffer at the hands of the religious and
the rebelling governments of the world just as Jesus did. So too, as
the apostles and other servants of Christ suffered at the foundation
of the true Church of Jesus shall the faithful in Christ in the last
days suffer.
O. This is why we must understand these things
and be prepared in every way—emotionally, spiritually,
mentally, and physically. Through the Lord, we can go through these
things and literally be used by the Lord in a great way that will be
rewarded in the eternity of the Kingdom of God. Jesus has told us
that we that are true to Him shall be called upon to give testimony
to the Kings and rulers of this world. We shall give testimony and
rebuke to the religious leaders that merged in their rebellion
against the LORD as well. The very Spirit of God, the Spirit of the
Father, shall give those anointed servants of Christ the words of God
to speak in that hour. Matthew
10:17-22 Know
this, that the times is at hand. It is now time, to awake from sleep,
for our time of salvation is nearer that we believed. Romans
13:11
6.
Why John The Baptist Lost His Head.
A.
Mat
11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there
hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he
that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
B.
John
the baptist loses his head for speaking the truth to the governmental
leader Herod: Matthew 14:6-12 6But when Herod's birthday was kept,
the daughter of Herodotus danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would
ask. 8And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me
here John Baptist's head in a charger. 9And the king was sorry:
nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at
meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10And he sent, and beheaded
John in the prison. 11And his head was brought in a charger, and
given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12And his
disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and
told Jesus.
7.
What Used To Be “OK” Is Not OK Now! Grow Up In Christ.
A.
It is important to realize that the Lord is expecting His people to
grow up in Christ.
B. We are to put a way the childish things
and put on Christ.
1Cr
13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a
child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away
childish things.
C.
Recently, I heard a professing Christian man who had taught in
Christian circles since at least the 1970's. He was an aged man and
had invented various forms of psychological teaching on
personalities. It was his own thought; not God's thought. But this
teaching on personality styles and categories is now largely
influencing the Christian world as authoritative.
D. I contend
that this is a false science. We may all have our own observations of
dealing with people but our observations, opinions and even judgments
are not necessarily true and certainly not on the par of scripture.
E. Another thing I observed was this seeming sincere man name
dropping the big name ministries as though they were good truthful
men of God when I know quite the contrary based on careful review.
(Many of the men I have written about previously as examples of
heretical apostate teachers in our day were the same men that this
man was honoring)
F.
I am saying here that this man was endorsing celebrity religious
“ministers” as men of God when these so called
“ministers” actually deny the gospel of Jesus, and preach
other gospels. How can this be?
G.
It goes to show you that in previous decades the religious culture
was very naive and trusting. Now in these last days it is becoming
more pronounced that there are deceivers among the Christian world
deceiving the masses with teachings that deny Jesus and His
words.
H. It is not “OK” to be ignorant. It is not
OK to be without maturity in Christ. Our very lives, eternal lives at
that, are at stake.
Eph
4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all
things, which is the head, [even] Christ:
I.
I find it so grieving that the ministry has become such a “good
ole boys” club that whitewashes evil and falsehood in the name
of God. I find it so contemptible that spiritual matters became a
business. It is an offense to the LORD.
J. God at times past
winked at man's ignorance but now commands all men everywhere to
repent. It is time to fear the LORD. It is time to stop honoring man
and to honor God. Jesus Himself would never receive honor from man.
He would only receive honor from His Father. This is our example.
Watch out for those who are city-slick speakers spewing sensational
salacious sayings in honor of men.
Jhn
5:41 I receive not honour from men.
Jhn 5:44 How can ye believe,
which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that
[cometh] from God only?

What Is It To Condemn
Someone?
What It Is Not.
A.
Mat
7:1 ¶ Judge not, that ye be not judged.
B. Luk
6:37 ¶ Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and
ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
C.
1Th
5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
D.
1Jo
4:1 ¶ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out
into the world.
E.
“E” for explain. Clearly, through Jesus' teaching, He
will not contradict but if we examine carefully what He is saying we
will understand He is teaching us in this regard of “judging”,
condemning and trying.
F. When Jesus said in Mt 7:1 not to
“judge” it had the meaning of finalizing as in a summons
before a court for accusations of wrong doing.
Lexicon:
"Judge" Krino--Jn 7:1 4) to determine, resolve, decree 5)
to judge a) to pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong 1) to
be judged, i.e. summoned to trial that one's case may be examined
and judgment passed upon it b) to pronounce judgment, to subject to
censure 1) of those who act the part of judges or arbiters in matters
of common life, or pass judgment on the deeds and words of others 6)
to rule, govern a) to preside over with the power of giving judicial
decisions, because it was the prerogative of kings and rulers to pass
judgment G.
Jesus
is telling us not
to judge as in making a final decree
in
most situations. He also tells us not to condemn. God is most
generally
still
allowing people to repent from their sin against Him and people.
Therefore, we are to be forgiving also. However, we can see that the
scripture also tells us to “judge” in the sense of having
the ability to discern, perceive and cognitively reason what is right
from wrong. Jesus tells us specifically to judge, but not according
to how things look on the surface.
Jhn
7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous
judgment.
H. Another key point here in understanding our
role as followers of Jesus and judgment is that our judgment is to
stem from our relationship with the Lord and not upon our own
reasoning, our own feeling, or our own self. It must come from
spiritual judgment that comes from the Holy Spirit within our life.
Our spirit is to be joined with the Lord's Spirit, and out of this
unity, as we stay submitted to His Lordship, we have proper judgment.
This is what Jesus taught.
Jhn
5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of
the Father which hath sent me.
I.
We are to have our senses exercised or developed with the ability to
discern good from evil, right from wrong. We are not to condemn
people; nor put people into a judgment without remedy. Yet, we are to
discern, we are to test, we are to try the spirits and so on, but we
must do so carefully, always fearing the LORD, and never condemning
people out of our own soul. God is the judge; not we.
Hbr
5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even]
those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil.
J.
It therefore is not condemning to bring correction, reproof, rebuke,
exhortation and instruction to others. The world and the worldly
Christians think it is to condemn to speak the truth regarding heresy
or ungodly behavior or attitudes. They are wrong. Clearly, we are
not to finalize in judgment of condemnation generally, but we are to
distinguish and discern all things. We are too bring correction to
others and speak the truth in love. We are to follow the example of
Paul the apostle who openly corrected the hypocrisy of apostle Peter.
We are to follow these things without partiality or preferential
treatment based on friendship or monetary considerations. God is the
avenger of all such things and we are to fear the LORD in these
things.
1Ti
5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
1Ti 5:21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring
one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
K.
Please note the severity of these things. This was a charge before
God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as before the elect angels
that we are to observe these things. Again, in the Kingdom of God
and of Christ, these things are not to be done with preferential
treatment or partiality. This is not a good-ole-boys club. This is
the Kingdom of God as we submit in truth and sincerity in Jesus
Christ.

James Robison Gives Vain Accolades To A Priest Of A Heretical
Religion.
A.
James Robison on
his religious INFOMERCIAL declaring a heretical Catholic priest is
like seeing Jesus and hearing Jesus though Catholic dogma denies the
scripture, presents a different gospel. The Catholic Church, sadly,
promotes a replacement for Jesus Christ known as the office of the
Pope. This video shows James Robison praising a man that is a
heretic. It shows him violating many principles of the Lord by
whitewashing heresy and holding men's person in prestige for some
advantage.
View
this Video.
B.
James Robison is an ecumenical person. He is mixing various
doctrines, gospels and schismatic forms of institutional religion
into one strange fire mix.
C.
James Robison is one that stands on the stage of a religious
infomercial. This is what he is. He is a religious celebrity that
markets his TV show for filthy lucre. The sad part is that he is now
so fallen that he is denying the Lord that bought him, by standing
with those who promote another Jesus.
D.
I name him as Paul the apostle named other heretical opposers to the
real gospel. 2Cr
11:26; Ga 2:4; 2Tim 2:16-18; Jude 1:4,10-13; 2Pt 2:1
E.
I name him because he also has called a rabbi, “a brother, and
part of the family”, on the Glenn Beck set in March 2011.
(Rabbis of the religion of Judaism, without repentance and faith in
Jesus Christ the Messiah are not brethren in the gospel. Jhn
8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for
if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
F.
I name him because he at the same time stood with Mormon Glenn Beck
who believes that God was a man who became God, and that man can also
become a god too. This is the religion of the serpent ladies and
gentlemen. How can a professing Christian minister say that a Mormon
is a brother in Jesus Christ? How can a professing Christian minister
say that a unrepentant and unbelieving rabbi is part of the family?
These are people that desperately need the Lord to save them through
the true gospel. Amen. But to link, join, yoke, partner, associate
and have fellowship with unregenerated people is completely violating
the scriptures.
G.
The people that watch TV programing
are
in danger of being seduced.
They may become under the influence of this ecumenical mixed bag
spirit of the antichrist. This is tragic.
H. We must earnestly
contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints. We
must not follow the trend to blend with the world and the various
forms of the religious world. This is the spirit of the antichrist
Beast that is bringing this apostasy about.
I.
The Lord rebuke you Mr. James Robison. You have not followed the
example of Jesus. You have not followed the example of Paul and the
other godly apostles in scripture. Repent in Jesus' name.
10.
The Humanist Satanists.
A.
Do you see how Satanic being a “humanist” is?
B.
Do you see just how evil being man-centered is rather than being
Christ-centered?
C. The Last Days ruling government of the
BEAST will be humanist. It will be man-centered. It will be
man-glorifying rather than God-glorifying. It will glorify a
man rather
than THE Man Jesus Christ the Son of Man.
D. The Beast System
of the antichrist will be humanitarian with seemingly good works.
E. The world will be filled with great catastrophic judgments
from God Almighty.
F. The world will reel to an from from the
face of God. Isa
24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be
removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy
upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. Isa 24:21 ¶ And
it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall punish the
host of the high ones [that are] on high, and the kings of the earth
upon the earth
G.
The earth will tremble to the vexation of the wickedness within
it.
H. This is why you must discern between seemingly good and
what is of God. Because, “good” is not God. Yet, God is
good. This is a riddle that can only be understood by being a child
of God. God hides these things from the wise and prudent and reveals
them to babes. This is marvelous in our eyes.
I.
Proof this is true:
Mat
16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan:
thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that
be of God, but those that be of men.
J.
Do you see this? Peter was rebuking Jesus for saying He was going to
suffer in fulfillment of the will of the Father. It may seem that
Peter was being kind and worrying about Jesus dying, yet, Jesus
perceived the spirit behind this was of Satan. Satan is the one that
leads us away from doing the will of God. Satan is the one behind
getting people to preserve their lives instead of laying it down as
Jesus ultimately did. Satan is the one that leads man, starting with
Eve, to be man-centered, rather than God-centered.
K. Do not
make the mistake of joining with man in glorifying man as gods as the
religion of Satan teaches. Don't be a humanist. Don't be savoring the
things of man. Savor the things of the Lord Jesus Christ that gender
to eternal life rather than eternal death.
L. This is the mark
of those following the antichrist, they are savoring the things of
man and they speak of the world and the things of man rather than
what is of God.
1Jo
4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the
world heareth them.
O.
Humanitarianism does not generate the love of God. Love is of God.
The world is without God. Therefore, the world does not have the love
of God. Humanitarianism operates on a deceitful selfish love. A love
that is self-seeking rather than God-glorifying. It is a baser love
that does not truly love one's neighbor. God has commanded us to love
Him with all of our heart, soul and mind with all of our strength.
Secondly, He has commanded us to love our neighbor as our-self. We
can not do that as mere men. We can not love this way if we are still
in Adam. Adam is out of the earth. We can only love with this love if
we are born of God who is above, not below. Jesus is the One in which
we must have our life. He is not of the earth but is out of heaven
above. Marvel not, Jesus said, you must be born from above. You must
be born again. This is how the love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Spirit. Those who do this are not of this world.
They are not of this world-cosmos-order. They certainly will not be
in the Beast New World Order either. But, they shall shine as the
light of God in these days of darkness that shall come upon the
earth. They shall be known by their love. He that loves in this
manner is born of God.
Jhn
13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye
have love one to another.

Behind The Almost Transparent Curtain:
Global Governance, Global
Economic System, And Worse Yet, The Global Religion Being Set In
Place.
A.
The spirit of antichrist is active putting in place the Beast System
that shall rule the world for a very short time of 42 months. 10
Kings and 10 regions shall rule one hour with the Beast. (Revelation
17:12)
B.
The powers-that-be are very passionate about their goal of a one
world government. It often oozes out of their speech as with Senior
George Bush spoke of the “big idea”. George
Bush before Congress September 11, 1991
C.
Many
of the rich men of the earth that govern behind the lead politicians
admit that they have no national allegiance but rather identify
themselves as globalists. David
Rockefeller: In his "Memoirs" David states on p. 405: “Some
even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best
interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as
'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to
build a more integrated global political and economic structure —
one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I
am proud of it."
D.
The laws that are often passed by this secret agenda lead the way to
globalist goals and transnational corporations that bottom line
allegiance is to make money and promote the agenda of a one world
government. This is one explanation for open borders in the United
States yet saying “we are at war with terrorists”. It is
ridiculous and nonsensical unless you understand that there is a
conspiracy to violate the law and introduce a new world system the
bible calls the “Beast” (Revelation 13).
E. Today,
there
are laws being passed in the United States through the Legislative
Branch that foster these globalist ideals evident by how they violate
the foundation of the countries' Constitution. Many of today's
politicians, such as Newt Gingrich, state openly with contempt for
the Constitution that it is a document that should be replaced with
new modernized ideas-- globalist ideas. Article
on global agenda, CFR, Gingrich and other elite globalists.
F.
It was said that president George W. Bush referred to the
Constitution as that “G-- damn piece of paper.”
Google
Link: George Bush said Constitution just a g-- damn piece of
paper...
G.
The very term “global governance” has become common place
in the media. Google
Link: Research term "Global Governance"
H.
The world-wide economic melt-down has made way for the new emerging
world economic system.
The
scriptures prophesy of these changes. A Standardization of the
world's economic and food based system will be coming during the
times of hardship, famine and tyranny. Revelation
6:5-8 The Third and Fourth Seals
I.
On one hand, these globalists of an antichrist agenda will be moving
forward with their plans empowered by the dark side of the devil, the
dragon himself, but God Almighty shall be evident also in mighty
powerful displays of catastrophic judgments.
J.
So,
I am saying that it is visible to the eye, and audible to the ear, to
hear and see the globalistic changes that shall bring about the Beast
system as outlined by the scriptures. The infrastructure of the Beast
System is being put in place though the nations of the world
seemingly operate under their flags, governments and leaders as
usual.
K.
In recent months, we have observed the uprising across the Middle
East deposing leaders and installing new leaders that apparently suit
the globalists' plans. Egypt, Libya, Syria, Somalia and many other
nations in the Middle East are being systematically altered to better
serve the emergence of the Beast and his New World Order. Day
of "Rage". Deposing and Imposing the New World Order by
stealth.
L.
We have the call for world governance, a new global economic system,
and we can also see how religious leaders are bringing about a
synthesized ecumenical religious system. From leaders as Rick Warren,
Bill Hybels, Billy Graham*, and others, to the other side of the
spectrum from the false gospel of the Vatican known as the Roman
Catholic Church. The pope has recently called for not only a new
economic system through a long winded encyclical, but also called
other leaders of other religions to come together.
Pope
Benedict: Vatican Urges Economic Reforms, world central bank with
Regional powers (note Revelation 17 and the 10 kings over 10
regions that rule one hour with the Beast during the last 42 months)
Pope
Benedict summons 300 world religious leaders of various false gospels
to meet together as his predecessor Pope Paul did in the previous
meeting at Assisi.
*Billy
Graham was used by the political powers-that-be as a religious stage
prop. He gave his so-called blessing on very wicked political
leaders. He also held crusades that promoted false religious systems
for the supposed converts. When a Catholic came forward in response
to the Graham messages, he had Catholic “counselors”
encourage them to continue in their Catholicism rather than repent of
this false religion and its false gospel of works and idolatry. In
later days, Billy Graham denied that Jesus Christ was the only way to
salvation as outlined by the scriptures. He stood with other
universalists and New Age promoters like Robert Schuller. Though
Billy Graham did much religious work over the years, it all must be
scrutinized by the Lord as which all of our works will be examined. I
have presented documentation previously which demonstrates the
ecumenical mixed-bag religion of Mr. Graham. It is easy to research
this through a simple search on the internet.
M.
There we have it. The call for a one world government, a new one
world economic system, as well as a world religion that is a strange
stench stew before the LORD. As ancient Babylon that sought to mix
all the world into one big global government, economy and religion,
so to is Babylon doing the same today. Babylon is alive and well and
she has many whore daughters in which the kings of the earth have
committed fornication and various elicit crimes against the LORD,
against Jesus, His followers, and even the whole world.
N. For
the most part, the religious Christian World is oblivious to this.
They have abandoned the Lord to follow men in other pursuits other
than the Lord Himself. We are in the apostasy that Paul spoke that we
would see prior to the Day of the LORD. Paul also said we would see
the man of sin being revealed. 2Th
2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not
come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition;
O.
The masses are snared by this plot. The multitudes of people will
find the new economic system, the new world government as well as the
new religion so logical and seemingly
beneficial.
It
will seem so right as Eve thought the forbidden fruit of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil was. It looked so good. It would taste so
yummy, and would even make her wise. She just had to partake of that
which was forbidden by God. Even so, this agenda of the dark ones
will seem to make sense but it will have a dire end.
P.
In recent days, laws are being passed in the United States which will
lawfully allow the detention and incarceration of United States
citizens without a trial, jury or proof of wrong doing. On mere
accusation and suspicion it is being postured that the office of the
Executive Branch may alone determine whether a person or group is a
threat without any representation in court which has been the long
standing protection against this tyranny from the foundational law of
the Constitution.
Google
Search Link: Senate passes law detain US citizens indefinitely as
authorized solely by Executive Branch (dictator-presidente)
Q.
The
Patriot Act was
written to allow this precedence but now the law
breaking law makers
are
seeking to create the legal framework for this
manner of a police
State governed by the military. It
shall be martial law that governs the nation of the United States of
America.
R.
In reality, it was God that gave the liberties to the nation and
individuals of the USA. And, it is God that is taking them away. For
the people have largely forsaken the LORD and refused to heed His
voice in returning to Him in godly repentance and simple faith in
Jesus Christ. In stead, this nation has chosen other gods, other gods
who cannot save, heal, nor hear. It has become a fallen nation full
of depravity and vanity. It is in bondage to many things yet thinks
it sits a queen 'knowing no harm'.
S. God has been making it
clear that His followers are to follow Him. We are to stand with the
Lord or we shall fall with this nation. God is going to make the
United States of America an example to the world as a nation that has
forsaken Him. Read carefully the Word of God and see what God has
said concerning a nation that turns aside from following Him. Read
Jeremiah
18-19 and
see what God did to His own people Israel and Judah. How can people
be so insane as to think God would not judge the United States for
committing the same sins?
How can religious people think that God
has endorsed the United States as some act of God when its sins have
reached into the heavens?
T. It is vital to make sure that
each of us identify with the heavenly holy nation of God and not a
secular nation of flesh that has completely abandoned restraint
against evil. Phl
3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for
the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Phil
3:20; "Conversation" is the word " politeuma meaning
1) the administration of civil affairs or of a commonwealth2) the
constitution of a commonwealth, form of government and the laws by
which it is administered3) a state, commonwealth) the
commonwealth of citizens.
U.
So, which nation are YOU? Where is your heart, mind and soul
dedicated? Where is your loyalty? Who do you trust? Who will you look
to in the times of trouble?
2.
Setting The Stage For Opposition To The Global Agenda Manifesting
Rapidly And Openly.
A.
The Senate is debating legislation that will allow limitless
incarceration of US citizens without judicial representation. You
Tube: Link--debate on Senate/Congress passage of law undermining
foundation law of the Constitution guaranteeing citizens of the US a
day in court in response to accusation or suspicion of wrong doing.
Senators argue to suspend rights of US citizens in the name of
"safety" and protection from "terrorism".
B.
I
contend that this is for specific preparation for what is surely
coming soon.
The
clock is ticking and they know that there will be opposition to the
New World Beast System that is a globalist-fascist,
socialistic-communistic tyrannical rule of the Dragon-Serpent, the
devil himself. Many will take up arms and fight a carnal battle.
Others will stand strong in the name of Jesus Christ speaking the
truth regardless of the cost of persecution, custody, beating and
even death. You must prepare your soul, your spirit, your heart and
mind for these things through the LORD in submitted prayer.
C.
The legislatures would have the people believe it is for prosecuting
terrorists and protecting the country. But I say that to trust man is
a damnable foolish thing to do.
Jer
17:5 ¶ Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in
man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the
LORD. Jer 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and
shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places
in the wilderness, [in] a salt land and not inhabited. Jer 17:7
Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the
LORD is.
Scripture
links on trusting God rather than man. Eat these words.
D.
You will not be able to stop these laws from being passed.
It
will be done and this USA shall be a police state, a tyrannical
government, part of the Beast System of the last days in due time. It
shall be a manifestation of Babylon the Great and it shall continue
in its path of opposing God and Jesus Christ the Messiah as Psalms 2
declares. The apostate religious leaders will stand side-by-side with
the man of sin in opposing the LORD and persecuting true disciples of
Jesus just as they did with Herod and Pilate recorded in Acts 4,
fulfilling Psalms 2. We are in for a repeat of the fulfillment of
scripture praise God.

A Man Of God Declared Martial Law And Other Forms Of
Detainment/Incarceration Would Be Used To Persecute True Christians
In The United States Of America .
(T
r a n s c r i p t)
A.
The
Boiling Kettle/The Stage Is Set
And
I want you to understand there’s an illusion going on and the
people are asleep and not seeing it.[lxix] That
after 9-11 and the establishment of the Patriot Act in the United
States, the officials are free to torture and incarcerate individuals
that are viewed as a threat to the nation.
B.
Look
And See/The Religious System Persecutes AgainLet him that hears
understand--
that
the constitution gives you the right to Habeas Corpus, which means
you have the right to representation in a day of court. However, with
this new law the constitution is outridden and if you are viewed by
whoever officials as a threat, you will be incarcerated. And I want
you to see that this is how they will go about and execute Christians
in the United States of America. And this is how the government will
utilize so-called churches where Jesus said they will beat you in the
synagogues.[lxx] The synagogues are the meeting place for God’s
people in Jesus’ day. And
this is how, my friends, the word of God is unfolding in these days.
C.
The
day of the LORD is at hand.[lxxi] Bow before the LORD and worship
Him.[lxxii] Seek His face.[lxxiii] Seek Him while He may be found.
Call upon Him while He is near.[lxxiv] Draw near to God and He will
draw near to you.[lxxv] and,
D.
Persecution
From The Tare Religious System
And
what I want you to know is the illusion of the pseudo church, the
same thing that in Acts 4 that as you will read, you’ll see
that we have Pilate and Herod and the Gentiles and the rulers of
Israel standing in opposition to Jesus and they killed Him. Of
course, He laid down his life for us, but they killed Him.[lxi] And
they will do the same to you if you’re following Jesus, so I’m
asking you to prepare yourself.[lxii]
E.
Martial
Law/Political Tyranny/Response To Cataclysmic Events
Now,
we’re in an era where a few men, because they lust for money
and they lust for power, they have illusions and as the distress of
the nations comes forth, the judgments of God and the wars and the
calamities, the pestilence, the great sicknesses, they will have to
because of the distress--the civil distress, disturbance, they’ll
have to bring it back into order. They will bring to power martial
law. Do you understand that?
F.
And
they will do the same thing because of the Christians that are filled
with the oil of God and the understanding of God will oppose this
because they will establish an illusion that a man of peace will come
on the scene, a false christ, and there will be a false prophet and
if you’re not understanding, you’ll be swept up in
it.[lxiii]
G.
Religio-Political
Stage Set
Do
you understand how our religious systems today have made this so
possible by this special tax status, 501(c)(3) I think it’s
called? Jesus said render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto
God what is God’s.[lxiv] But when you have a special merging of
the church with the government you’re in violation and this
type of status has given the government leeway into the things of
God. What it is is-- it’s a false “metron”
(boundary) that puts the government out of their sphere of influence,
the proper influence. And when this distress comes they’re
going to use the church, just like in Jesus’ day, to execute
the opposers, execute those that aren’t going along with the
system. The” voices” just like in Rome, Quo Vatis. Look
at that movie that was made in the 1950s. Okay?
H.
Godly
Allegiance And Alliance
It
can sound unpatriotic what I’m about to say, but you have to
realize in these days, this is another thing that God has shown me is
if you are a Christian, you are of a holy nation.[lxv] You are of the
kingdom of God and your king is the Lord Jesus Christ. The King of
Kings and the Lord of Lords. He represents the invisible
Father.[lxvi] And God has set his King on His holy hill of Zion. Read
this in Psalm 2. Yes, we live in the United States of America. We
vote, I vote (I’ll speak for myself), I vote for my president
and I vote for him and I hold him accountable to the laws of this
land, and that’s the constitution. And I can vote or not vote
and I have liberties in this country, and we all do, and we should
stand for those freedoms.
I.
Isaiah
10:The Hypocritical Nation
I’ll
tell you what God is speaking right now this morning to me about the
hypocritical nation.[lxvii] The LORD says that the man that had the
power to save a helpless woman from starving to death did nothing.
And this is the same man, the leader of a hypocritical nation, that
spends an excess of $80 billion dollars to establish democracy in
foreign nations such as Iraq, but would not lift a finger to spare a
helpless woman from starving to death. Shall not the God of earth
judge this thing?[lxviii] He certainly shall.

Fool Despises Wisdom And Reproof.

The Three-Fold Chord Of Evil:
The
Course Of This World, The Prince Of The Power Of The Air, And The
Children Of Disobedience.
A.
Eph
2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit
that now worketh in the children of disobedience
B.
Consider this. Ponder it. Understand the forces and culture and how
they will oppose you if you will walk in the light of the Lord.

The Blind Spots.
A.
Things we can't see.
B. Things we don't want to see.
C.
Things we won't
see
or refuse to see.
D. Things we aren't ready to see due to the
timing of the LORD.
E. Things we can't see due to the
underdevelopment of our maturity in Jesus. Babes do not understand
much of anything. It is vital to grow up in
Christ and put away
the childish and foolish things because our eternal life is at stake.
F. Be willing and desiring to see the true state of your
being. Look to the Lord for Him to complete what He has begun in you.
He is faithful. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Likewise,
don't leave or forsake the LORD. He will finish the work He began in
you unto the coming day is the
promise of scripture.
G.
God is the Potter. We are the clay. He is desiring to mold us into
the image of His dear Son. You will be either pliable clay or brittle
clay.
H. Be not wise in your own conceits. Let him that
thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. Be not one that thinks he
has arrived into completion, but stay humble and listen to the LORD
to cover what you do not know, see or hear. Seek to be in unity with
the LORD being one spirit with Him, and His voice will be heard as
the still small voice of the LORD. God bless you in this.

An amazing thing! People With Hands Over Their Eyes And Fingers In
Their Ears At The Same Time.
A.
Zec
7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and
stopped their ears, that they should not hear. Zec 7:12 Yea, they
made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest they should hear the
law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by
the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of
hosts.
B.
Jer
5:21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding;
which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
C.
Jer
7:24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in
the counsels [and] in the imagination of their evil heart, and went
backward, and not forward. Jer 7:26 Yet they hearkened not unto me,
nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than
their fathers. Jer 7:27 ¶ Therefore thou shalt speak all these
words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also
call unto them; but they will not answer thee. Jer 7:28 ¶ But
thou shalt say unto them, This [is] a nation that obeyeth not the
voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is
perished, and is cut off from their mouth
9.
Is God “Really” Telling His Watchmen And Servants Not To
Warn Anymore?
(I
heard a radio religious personality say--'that God was not telling
His ministers to warn anymore'...)
A. No.
B. Warn
the wicked, says the LORD.
C.
Answer this question. When did the preacher of righteousness NOAH
stop proclaiming the message of God's impending judgment?
D.
What is wrong with those who say they are tired of warning others?
They serve themselves and not the LORD. This is where the
weariness stems. They become tired in their flesh efforts of
religious business. They have used the LORD and not served the LORD
and the LORD blew on their efforts. Puff. Repent of this O men.
Repent of using God's gifts and His Word for your own merchandising
and salary. Repent of desiring the filthy lucre as the godly men of
God have commanded before you. May there be Sauls that become Pauls.
May there be deluded Samsons that become redeemed servants of God.
Amen.

“Denying The Lord”...How Is This Done?
A.
2Ti

12.
Zeal Without Knowledge.
(I
recently listened to a woman who had great zeal, passion, drive and
boldness in speaking many things that were right and true. I
discerned a Christian-friendly demeanor and speech as well; yet
something was amiss. I looked further into her life by way of her
website and presentations and discovered that she was a Catholic and
speaking of the Mass in which Jesus is re-crucified and other
horrible doctrines that the Catholic religion fosters. She is an
example of zeal without knowledge. She is in the flesh. She is not in
the Spirit of God. Perhaps she will be drawn to the Lord and respond
to Him?)
A.
There are many who have a zeal for religion or God but do not have
true authentic understanding of God as revealed in scripture.
B.
Many have zeal for their religion but lack mature knowledge that
comes from God alone.
C. Many have zeal for their “Church”
but do not understand or care regarding the Church World's apostate
state as the Laodecian Church cited by
Jesus in the book of
Revelation.
D. Many belong to the Catholic Church but are in a
false Church due to its false gospel and spirit. The gospel of Jesus
is not one which a person earns their way to God by works. We are
saved by grace through faith, not works.
E. Many have zeal in
the various denominations in Christianity but again, lack true
knowledge that comes by simple study of scripture and acknowledging
the conviction of the Holy Spirit who is showing His people that
Christ is not divided. We are not a work of man. We are to be a work
of God made without hands. Yet, so many zealously serve the works and
institutions of men thus denying the LORD.
F. “F”
For Tragic.
G. “G” for grace that God would grant
those without knowledge from the Word and Spirit of God to recover
themselves form the snare of the devil. May God grant grace that true
sincere people may call upon the LORD from a sincere heart and serve
Him acceptably in Godly fear through our Lord Jesus.

WARNING: Strange
Fire Christianity.
(Strange
Fire) Leviticus 10:1; Nu 3:4; Nu 26:61
A.
“Strange Fire” is the term used in scripture for
activities performed in the name of spirituality that are not
accepted by God.
B. “Strange Fire” in scripture
shows God the Almighty judging those who performed spiritual
activities that they manufactured from their own minds or other
voices other than God.
C. “Strange Fire” in
scripture declares that it is an activity “that He commanded
them not”. In other words, it is spiritual activity performed
that is not holy or separate to God since He had not directed the
activity.
D. In the New Testament we are told that believers
in Christ are God's workmanship, that He Himself creates the works
and literally ordains them and that we should walk in them. God
ordains the works that we should walk in. Ephesians 2:10
E.
Death penalty was issued by God in striking Nadab and Abihu dead by
fire from the LORD because they did not sanctify the LORD in their
service to God. They manufactured activity that God had not ordered.
God is obviously showing His disdain for this practice and those who
love God and study His Word should take note on how God feels about
this manner of iniquitous self-directed activity in serving God.
F.
God does not necessarily strike people dead for their ignorant or
stubborn disobedience, but we should regard how He feels about such
inventions of man in performing so-called spiritual activity in His
name. If we love God then we obey Him. If we love God then we should
desire to please Him. This infers that we regard the heart of God and
what He loves or hates.
G. Today, it is evident by the manner
of the Church World that is largely a strange
fire Christianity.
H.
The most despicable activity that outraged Jesus was how the
religious system in Jerusalem had turned the Father's house into a
den of thieves and robbers. Jesus took cords and manifested His anger
in over-turning the money changer tables and ridding the temple from
the various animals being sold for sacrifices. Religion was big
business then as it is today, even throughout history. People do not
seem to learn or even care how God views this racket of religion. 3
Portions of Scripture dealing with Religion as business: Read
Context: Mt 21; Mk 11; Lk 19
I.
It has been very evident since the 1960's to see the prominent forms
of Christianity Church Land going the way of the flesh and the world
in performing its business. The leaders have not generally believed
the power of the gospel nor the new life offered by way of the cross
and resurrection of Jesus as outlined in scripture. Hence, they have
offered a “white bread” artificial synthetic gospel that
lacks the power of God. They have not urged people to turn from their
sins and evil ways. They have offered a form of godliness that denies
the power of godliness. They encourage people that are in a fallen
state to remain in so but participate in the business of Church. This
is not the Church of Jesus Christ that He is building. Rather, this
exemplifies the Strange
Fire Church,
the Church of the Tares fathered by the devil himself.
J. God
is calling His people out of an abominable religious system that is
strange
fire.
K. Judgment begins in the house of God, later, it shall
befall the world. 1Peter
4:17-18 Judgment begins in the House of the LORD.
2.
The Pseudo Church Trend Replacing Apostles Paul, Peter, James And
John For Rick,
Bill, Bob, Brian...
A.
We are in the times of the apostasy. 2Th
2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not
come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition;
B.
Many professing Christians are following man and not the Lord.
C.
Too many people are following men that are not following the
Lord.
D. The trend today is religious people leaving the Word
of God as recorded by apostles Paul, Peter, James and John, for
religious celebrities such as Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Bob Buford,
Brian McClaren and many other false teachers who have corrupted the
faith. Phl
3:17 ¶ Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them
which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. Phl 3:18 (For many walk,
of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that
they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:
E.
In the days of the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel, we have a similar
occurrence as the religious system forsook the LORD for broken
cisterns---false shepherds, priests, elders and phoney prophets who
led the people away from the truth and strengthened them in the error
of their ways. Waterless
broken cisterns of men preferred over the Fountain of Living Waters
The Lord God Himself. Ez
13:22-23 The righteous grieved over the perverse spiritual leadership
that refuses to correct wickedness in the midst.
F.
The prophets were false prophets. The priests were set up in their
positions by the false prophets. And the multitudes of the religious
masses loved it so! Jer
5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by
their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and what will ye do
in the end thereof?
G.
Having a temple and all the religious going-on was satisfying for
those in the corrupt religious system. They had no regard that God
Himself had withdrawn His presence from His own House! They did not
say, “Where is the LORD?” They obviously did not care.
Having Church was really all they wanted, not the LORD. The same is
today for the most part. People are satisfied having a form of
godliness or religious activity. As long as they “go” to
church and speak the lingo, they seem to think they are accepted in
God's eyes. Jer
2:4-8 (context is grieving)
H.
The concern here is that the false religious leaders of today are
false in that they are not serving God but using God instead for
their own imaginations.
I. The plan is an agenda. The agenda
is a plot. And the tragic thing is that the blind leaders are leading
the blind and they both shall fall into the ditch of destruction if
they do not repent. Mat
15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch
J.
The Plot agenda by the false leaders is to synthesize the religion of
Christianity with other religions. It is to remove the savor from the
salt of true believers in Jesus. Once the salt looses its savor it is
good for nothing but to be thrown out and be trodden under the foot
of man. Savor-less
salt. Read what Jesus said about losing one's savor by being washed
out and blended with the world. Mt 5:13
K.
This synthesis is currently underway by very skilled and able men.
They have the backing of rebellious governments that have not
surrendered to the King God Almighty and His Christ-King Jesus.
L.
We can observe how the gospel has been forsaken for a social gospel.
We can see how the popular mega churches became “seeker-friendly”
or “seeker-sensitive” in order to allow unrepented world
people to feel comfortable in their sins as they participate in the
Mega Church Cult.
M. God desires to reach the world since He
loves the world so greatly that He provided His only begotten Son to
die for the sins of the world. (Jn 3:16) However, we must turn from
our darkness and choose the light of the Lord that is in and through
the Lord. We can not remain in darkness and say we love God, yet this
is the lie that is fostered in the Tare Churches of our day. (1Jn
1:5-6)
N. Now we have developing other forms of the Church
Cult that are known as “Emergent”. This movement is
encouraged by the same group of leaders wearing a different hat
offering a different brew of tainted spirituality. Mysticism and
other occult practices are now being encouraged to draw those with
this psychological interest into their net. (Seeker
Friendly, Emergent, Church Growth Movement sponsored by C. Peter
Wagner and his disciples as is Rick Warren. Peter Drucker, social
engineer, as key promoters of these antichrist venues)
O.
Jesus said, Luk
21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face
of the whole earth.
P.
Jesus loved us so much that He warned us of the dangers that would
come especially in the last days.
Q. So, why is it that
popular religious leaders of today do not warn the masses in their
clutches of the dangers of apostasy and denying the Lord?
Why is
it that these leaders actually censor the voice of the Spirit of God?
(Sometimes
it is not what they say but what they don't say)
R.
So, the call is for you not to be followers and servants of men. You
must decide to follow the Lord that bore your sins in His own body.
It is Jesus that paid the price through His own blood buying your
soul from death. Should you not follow Him and learn of Him? 1Cr
7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
S.
Jesus sends faithful ones to lead His flock. Jesus sent Paul, Peter,
James and John as recorded in scripture. Would it not be wise to
study prayerfully the Word of God rather than the latest religious
fads that are sold today in the book stores and religious
programming?
T. The religious people of the false church have
been sold out by their erring leaders.
U. You must decide to
be sold
out to
the
Lord and not
sold out by
the
religious con men. 2Pe
2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
merchandise of you
3.
The Jesus' Agenda.
A.
What is the “Agenda” of Jesus?
B. Is it not to go
forth into all the world and declare the gospel of the Kingdom? Mk
16:15; Mt 28:19-20
C.
Is it not to make disciple-followers of Jesus?
D. Is it not to
worship God the Father in spirit and truth with Jesus in the midst?
Jhn
4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh
such to worship him.
E.
Is it not to become a son and daughter of God by faith? Ro
8:15b-16...but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we
cry, Abba, Father. Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit, that we are the children of God:
F.
Is it not the agenda of God to have us grow into the image of Jesus
Christ? Rom
8:29
G.
The agenda of God is to have a faithful remnant that is purified by
fire through the various trials, tribulations and persecutions.
H.
The Jesus' Agenda is to follow the Lord in all He
commands.
He is a living Lord, not a dead prophet. He speaks today. Can you
hear His voice? Do you desire to hear His voice? Seek the Lord with
all your heart and you shall find Him.
I. The Jesus' Agenda
is to have a holy peculiar people fit for the Master's use, serving
Him in eternal life of the Kingdom of God. This agenda is not of this
world. It is not driven by the course of this world. The Jesus'
Agenda is outside the corrupted religious system serving, loving and
following the Lord in His Kingdom.
J. So, is the Church
World's Agenda as seen in the Mega Churches and popular trendy
“Churches” sincerely following the agenda of Jesus
Christ?
K. I dare say, you are either serving Jesus Christ or
the Anti Christ. You can not have two masters. So Church World,
repent and submit to the King Jesus Christ and serve Him His way in
His agenda. But turn from your wicked ways of promoting a worldly
vain and ecumenical mixed bag of religion. It can not save. It is
strange fire before the Lord and He is calling for repentance.
4.
Watch Unto Prayer.
1Pe
4:7 ¶ But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore
sober, and watch unto prayer.
A.
Watch and pray is the command of Jesus. Jesus
commanded to watch and pray. 4 texts
B.
This is our calling now in this evil hour.
C. We must not be
guilty of the sin of prayer-lessness.
D. Prayer is
communicating in submission to the Father in the name of Jesus.
E.
Open your eyes of understanding. Open your senses both natural and
spiritual and observe what is coming. Be wise. Be diligent.
F.
Perception is a gift from God. It is the ability to see. It is the
ability to cognitively understand in the skill of wisdom.
G.
Some can “watch” and see but do not understand what they
see. They do not understand the implications of the danger signs and
warnings of the LORD. This is why we must watch and pray. We do not
want to do one without the other. Some pray but are not alert nor
wise and understanding what the will of the Lord is. They often bury
their head in the sand and ignore the dangers. This is not godly. It
is foolish and the Lord would not have His children foolish but
wise.
H. Luk
21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to
stand before the Son of man.
5.
SOCIAL REDEMPTION Minus The Gospel? A False Gospel. (An Example Of
Misguided Goals)
A.
Many prominent teachers and ministries of the institutional Church
World are now promoting “social redemption”, or,
redeeming society through religious means.
B. This is a great
error.
C. Remember that all truth is a strait and narrow
truth. Anything to the left or right of the truth in Jesus Christ,
scripture and the Spirit of Truth is an error of extreme.
D.
God has not called His people to redeem society. God has not called
His people to preach a social gospel.
E. God has called His
people to declare His Word.
F. God has called His people to
proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
G. The gospel according
to Paul was the foolishness of the cross. In the eyes of the world it
is weak and foolish. But to those who are saved it is the power of
God.
H. The method and manner that is prominent today in the
religious Christian World is on a carnal worldly sphere.
I.
When a person or group does not speak what God has ordained to be
spoken they nullify the power that is available in Jesus Christ's
name.
J. The Lord has given us the message for the world
today. It is the gospel.
K. Paul the apostle warned that
certain men come by stealth and deceit delivering false gospels.
L.
Paul also warned that unsuspecting and undiscerning people are
vulnerable to believe the lies of the fake ministers who bring a
false gospel, another spirit, and even another Jesus.
M. The
Error of Engels (The Call): Lou Engels is said to have asked the Lord
how he could win the world to God. This is a great deception since
the Lord has already told us how to reach the world by proclaiming
the gospel message and making disciple-followers of Jesus. For a
person to ask the Lord how he can win the world to God any other way
is ludicrous. It is a presumptuous and vain imagination that is
foreign to the ways of the Lord identified in scripture. We do not
win people to the Lord without proclaiming the Word of God. It is the
Word of God whereby people may be born again; not a social gospel or
a political religious gospel that seeks to dominate and rule side by
side with un-regenerated politicians. Consider the times of
Constantine this same temptation of Satan for the religious leaders
in that time. They were either going to serve the Lord and suffer
ostracization and persecution, or they were going to stand side by
side with the Emperor, compromising the standard of God.
(Psalms
2 declares the error of apostate religious leaders standing with the
rebellious political leaders in their opposition to the LORD and His
Christ)
Lou
Engels has created his religious political exercises that use God
rather than serving God in the Jesus' Agenda. God has not called us
to merge in union with carnal man of the political world. Pray for
those in political authority yes. Join with them in partnership no.
Can you see this?
N. A division is occurring in Christendom.
Those of the flesh versus those of the spirit. Some think they serve
God in their flesh with fleshly and worldly ways. Others have
realized there is no good thing in the flesh and that we are not to
trust in the flesh to serve God in the spirit. Paul spoke not with
eloquence as some great orator. He spoke with simplicity the Word of
God with power and demonstration of the Spirit of God. 1Cr
2:4 And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of
man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1Cr
2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the
power of God.
O.
Many today indeed are leaving the way of the Lord as outlined by the
example of the apostles to follow celebrity charlatan ministers who
are seeking their own agenda and not the Jesus' Agenda. 2Cor
11:13-15 False apostles servants of Satan that transform themselves
as ministers of righteousness.
P.
The people want the quail. The people want the flesh. The people want
the white bread gospel. Nevertheless, we each must decide what we
want. Is it to serve the Lord acceptably in godly fear or is it to
serve our own self and other religious rebels in their grandeur
imaginations?
6.
The Sodom Gospel.
A.
The Sodom Gospel is the message of and from Sodom.
B. Sodom
was full of pride and haughtiness.
C. Sodom was self-centered.
“It is all about me”. “It is all about number
1”.
D. Sodom had an abundance of idleness.
E.
Sodom had an abundance of bread. Sodom's god was their belly. “Feed
me. Feed me. Grrrr...”. A nation driven by its carnal
appetites.
F. Sodom was only concerned for her own desire and
needs and not the needs of others.
G. Sodom was iniquitous
and did abominable sexual sin before the eyes of the LORD.
H.
Sodom was oblivious to the nearness of the burning fire and brimstone
judgment of God that was eminent.
I. Sodom's gospel seeks to
defile the holy.
J. Sodom's Gospel is to “go for the
gusto” “Get what you can”. “The one with the
most toys wins”.
K. Sodom loves its evil ways. But
Sodom is no more to this day. They that are of Sodom shall have the
same end unless they repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
Eze
16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride,
fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her
daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Eze 16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me:
therefore I took them away as I saw [good
7.
It Takes The LORD...
A.
Only the Lord can save you. Acts
4:12
B.
Only the Lord can change you. 2Cor
3:18
C.
We can never be pleasing to God without Jesus Christ.
D. The
Lord gets the glory for it is He alone that is worthy. He alone is
the One that can bring any good or redemption. This is why the
apostate church is in great error since it has forsaken the Lord and
gone back into Egypt, the world. The false teachers are unbelievers.
They do not follow the Lord. They delight in the works of their own
hands rather than the works of God's hands. They speak their own
words. They minister by their own strength and imagination. God is
not in their thoughts. God is not with them though they may speak of
Him.
8.
Sad Story Of Samson.
A.
Samson was deceived by his own lust.
B. Samson fell and became
blind.
C. Samson lost his strength.
D. Samson loved a
woman more than God.
E. Samson became caught by the allure of
a woman.
F. Samson had been mightily used by God.
G.
God is speaking to us today about Samson.
H. Many ministers
have been enticed by an element of the world. Many have been caught
in the snare of the devil. Too many have been blinded
by their
sin. So many pedestal preachers have lost the strength and power of
the Lord.
I. I believe God is calling for them to repent.
Repent, surrender, be cleansed from the sin of the world. Regather
yourself from the snare of the devil. It may be that God will grant
the Samson ministers to repent and be granted one more thrust against
the kingdom of Satan as God allowed Samson.
9.
Saul The Rebel—The Saul “Ministry”.
A.
Theme song, “I
did it my way...”
B.
Saul the king of Israel rationalized his disobedience to God. God
told him not to bring back anything from the war against the enemy.
Yet, Saul determined to take the animals and he postured that he
would make a sacrifice to God with what God told him not to do. In
his own mind he was doing right. But before God is was disobedient
and even likened to idolatry and witchcraft.
C. The Saul
Ministries of today serve God on their own terms. They rationalize
their disobedience. But we are told not to do evil that good may
abound. That is to slander the Lord and His ministry.
D. The
Saul Ministry wants what it wants. It disregards what God wants.
E.
Saul Ministries serve Saul and not the Lord.
F. The Saul
Ministries are strange
fire ministries
of death.
G. Many today are serving in the vein of Saul. They
do not seek the LORD. They do no listen to the LORD. They imagine
their own creations and worship the very works of their hands. They
are literally in bondage to the creations they make. Sadly, they put
God's people into bondage to their whimsical desires. They are like
Pharaohs who create monstrous 'skyscrapers' elevating their own name
and agendas. Yet they hold the people as slaves to pay for their
ivory towers.
H.
God is bringing down the “skyscraper” institutions of
religion that have elevated themselves into the heavens as ancient
Babylon did. God wants His name sanctified. He will not let His name
be impugned by the iniquitous example of religion that mis-represents
His holiness. God is exposing the truth. God is exposing the
charlatan rip-off con men who have spurned the voice of the Lord
choosing their own imaginations. Enough with the Strange
Fire
Ministries.
Enough with the Saul Ministries and their Ministers. God is going to
bring forth His chosen broken vessels of honor that are fit for the
Master's use. They have put away the things of the flesh and the
world. They have made themselves ready for the Master's use. They
love Him. They listen to Him. They obey Him. And the Lord is in the
midst working and delighting as He is glorified through a special
people of the LORD that He Himself has sanctified and equipped.
Praise God.

Does Anyone Really Care What Is True? Few Do.
A.
Truth has perished in the land.
B. The masses are largely
under the influence of a specific plot of mind-control that was
accomplished through the media and the educational system.
C.
Truth is not a lie. Simple. Profound and true.
D. The
scripture calls us to buy the truth and sell it not. Pv
23:23
E.
The majority of the world does not love the truth.
F. Truth
is of God.
G. Lies are of Satan.
H. We must have a
commitment and “love for the truth”. If we do not, and we
love unrighteousness instead, the Word of God declares that God will
turn us over to believe a lie. The lie. 2Th
2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be saved. 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them
strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2Th 2:12 That they
all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.
I.
Do you really love the truth?
J. Are you willing to die for
the truth?
K. The truth will cost you guaranteed.
L.
You shall be persecuted for the truth. The day of lies is upon us.
The people believe the lies. The people for the most part do not
regard truth. They can take it or leave it.
M. The stage is
set for the greatest deception in the world's history.
N.
Today's cultures are lied to on a constant basis byway of the media,
commercials, education, and now, even among the Church World.
O.
If people that go
to the
Churches loved the Lord, loved the truth and studied the scriptures,
they would realize the pack of lies that are being sold in the
religious land. The world is lost already. Truth can only come by way
of the Lord.
P. Truth is a heart issue. We can not discern
truth when we are in sin. We are dead and deceived when we are
abiding in sin. We are in darkness if we walk in sin. Truth is not a
mental issue. God hides the truth from the wise and prudent and
reveals the truth to the humble meek child-like believer.
Q.
I am grieved by the state of the world, both secular and spiritual,
that does not love the truth and is not able to discern what is a
lie.
11.
Keep Your Garments. What are you wearing?
A.
The Lord Jesus admonished us to keep our garments.
B.
Jesus spoke to the Church of Laodecia and admonished them regarding
their true state.
C. They were worldly but did not recognize
it.
D. They thought they were spiritual and blessed by their
temporal riches.
Rev
3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and
have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to
buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white
raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy
nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that
thou mayest see.
E.
Today, as I wrote this, I was considering how personal it is when you
drink out of someone else's cup. Yet this is what the Lord wants of
us. We are to drink of His
cup.
'Drink it all', He called His disciples.
Rev
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore,
and repent. Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will
sup with him, and he with me.
See,
Jesus is standing at the door. Here He is speaking to the Church of
Laodecia which reflects generally the fallen state of today's Church
World. Lukewarm, fallen, deceived, worldly, wretched, miserable,
poor, blind and naked, yet the Lord was knocking at the door. Does
anyone hear? Does anyone notice that Jesus is outside knocking? Will
you open to Him? He desire to meet us as individuals and not some big
reprobate religious crowd.
Jesus wants that intimacy and
realness that comes person to person. He says He will sup with that
person and that person, shall sup with Jesus. Is this what you
want?
12.
The LORD Is Not Amused.
A.
Who's Church Is It Anyway?
Pastor So And So? Or is the Church
Jesus' Church? Which do you belong?
B. Who Is The “Star”
Amongst Us?
C. “That's
Entertainment”.
A movie title reflecting the modus operandi of Church Land.
D.
Tickled Fancies. The masses seeking teachers to have their ears
tickled by goofy messages that are not of God; but Oh, so
entertaining, warm and fuzzy. 2Ti
4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears; 2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away [their] ears
from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
E.
Prophetic Guessers. (The trend of guessing and calling it
prophecy)
F. Those entertained by the Prophetic Guessers.
G.
Religious Business. There are religious people who desire to make
money on the gospel by misleading the people with a false motive.
These are they that handle the Word of God deceitfully for the sake
of making filthy lucre, desiring vain prominence and power or other
physical delights forbidden by God. Some call it the three “G's”.
The Gold, the girls and the glory. These are the three lusts outlined
in 1John 2:16 that are also reflected in Eve's sin in the garden at
the great falling of man. 1John
2;16: The 3 lusts that spawn all sin. These can be eradicated by
faith in the power of Jesus' cross, burial and resurrection. Praise
God.
H. The Church World's Results. (Reprobate concerning
the faith. Worldly religious people that will never likely see the
Kingdom of God since they do not walk with God. They that are led by
God are born of God. They that aren't—aren't. Rom
8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons
of God. (The religious system does not promote walking with God.
If people genuinely walked with the Lord they would not be involved
in the corrupt religious system for the most part. Jesus does not
tell His disciples to walk in darkness. He does not condone walking
in the sins of the flesh. But the Church World will not tell the
people this. They bank on filling the pews with religious people that
have never been transformed by the power of God through His gospel
and power. Therefore, the Church World that is apostate to the core,
does not desire disciples of Jesus. And as a major Mega Church leader
said recently, that “his” church was not for Christians;
it was for the unbeliever.
I.
The State Of Those Who Profess To Believe In Jesus.
J. Status
Quo. Status No-Go.
K. The Mis-Spoken Mis-representatives.
L.
This is not funny. The Lord is offended and grieved by what goes on
in His name. What excuse is there? We have the scriptures. We should
have the Spirit of God that shows how God feels. Does anyone care
about this? Very, very few care in these days.
13.
Dead Give-Away Of The Religionists Who Promote “Changing Or
Re-Inventing Christianity.
A.
There has been a common theme over the last decades to “rethink”
Christianity. Some are now writing books about reinventing the Church
and Christianity. The point I want to make here is that this is a
dead give-away that those who promote “rethinking, reinventing,
changing” the gospel or Church are not of God. It is absolutely
evident that they are promoting religion which is based in carnal
fleshly devices that are strange fire before God.
B.
The Word of God can not be reinvented, changed or rethought.
C.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ does not change.
D. Jesus does not
change either and He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
E.
The Father does not change.
F. Religion
does change.
G.
The gospel of Jesus Christ does not change. The gospel is the belief
in Jesus' redemption through His own blood shed by dying on the
cross, being buried for three days, and then being raised by the
Spirit of God. This is the gospel.
H. Religion is nothing
more than a product than one can buy at the store. From time to time
some gimmick is implemented to create new interest. A new package, a
secret prize hidden in the box, a new name, a new taste, a new size
or whatever, the thing is that religion is not of the gospel.
I.
The gospel is not a religion. It is the power of God unto those who
are saved by faith in Jesus Christ.
This is the call to come
out of religion to believe the gospel. Serve the Lord. Believe in
Him.

Run The Race With Endurance That Is Set Before Us (Hebrews 12:1)
A.
You will run after something in life.
B. Will you run after
the course that is set for you by God Himself?
C.
Or, will you run after vanity?
D. Hbr
12:1 ¶ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so
great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the
sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the
race that is set before us,
a.
We are surrounded by the reality of those who have gone before us
into the Kingdom of God.
b. To run effectively, we must lay down
the weights and sins that easily encumber man.
c. We are told to
run with endurance. This is not a sprint to walk with God. He that
endures unto the end shall be saved as Jesus said. Mat
24:13
E.
Many, too many, run after other things that lead them away from the
Lord. 2Pe
2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,
following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages
of unrighteousness;
F.
1Pe
4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the
same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]: 1Pe 4:5 Who shall give
account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
G.
If you are going to win the race that God has for you, you must do it
the right way. 1Cr
9:24 ¶ Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but
one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 1Cr 9:25 And
every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an
incorruptible
H.
Our walk with the Lord is likened to a race. Run to win. Be wise and
get rid of the baggage. Run through Jesus Christ and be filled with
the power of the Holy Spirit. But, you must crucify the flesh and its
nature. It must be buried, and you must walk in the quickened power
of the Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead.
1Cr
9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest
that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be
a castaway
and,
Rom
6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like
as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we
have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be
also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection: Rom 6:6 Knowing this,
that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might
be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Rom 6:7 For he
that is dead is freed from sin. Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with
Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
2.
The Many That Are Leaving Jesus For Other Loves...
A.
I am hearing of many reports of professing believers in Jesus that
are going into fornication. In this late hour? It blows my mind. We
ought to walk circumspectly and have our garments pure and un-spotted
from the world. This is not a time to fornicate nor fornicate with
the world. A friendship with the world is the same as becoming an
enemy with God. Jam
4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship
of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend
of the world is the enemy of God.
B.
2Pe
2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness
C.
These are they that hang-out among the religious crowd or even
ministries, committing harlotry but wiping their mouths as if there
is nothing to there sin. Just like a harlot.
Pro
30:20 ¶ Such [is] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth,
and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
D.
2Pe
2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that
count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots [they are] and
blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they
feast with you;
E.
2Pe
2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous
practices; cursed children: 2Pe
2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,
following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages
of unrighteousness;
Note
the language here.
1. They have FORSAKEN the right way.
2. The
have GONE ASTRAY.
3. They FOLLOW the Way of Balaam.
4. The Way
of Balaam loves unrighteousness!
F.
This is why we test the spirits.
G. This is why we do not
believe every spirit.
H. This is why we examine fruit. Good
trees bare good fruit and evil trees bare evil fruit. Simple.
Children get this.
I. This is why we study the scriptures
because they can not be broken. What is written is forever settled.
We must let the scriptures and the Holy Spirit which are in unity be
the standard for everything. What is not of the Word is not of God.
He that will not hear God's Word is not of God.
3.
God Is Bringing The Followers Of Jesus Into A Singleness
Of Heart.
A.
As we recognize the apostasy and heresy of our day in the religious
world, God is doing a work in our hearts that only He can do. He is
cleansing us from the inside out. As in the early Church that was
filled with the Holy Spirit, God is creating clean hearts that are
devoted to Him. We are finding God is uniting our hearts to fear Him.
He is removing the divided heart that is for God and for other
things, people and gods.
B. As this singleness of heart takes
place in the individual believers, a sincerity in the relationship
with each other will take place. The hypocrisy and image projecting
that is so common from insincere hearts is leaving. This is where we
find true fellowship one with another. And, as we walk in the light
as He is in the light, the blood of His Son does cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. This is where the unity comes and the blessing of
the anointing of unity will manifest upon the Body of Christ, the
true Church of Jesus.
C. Act
2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness
and singleness of heart, Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour
with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as
should be saved.
D.
We are not talking about Church Business that is a government
sponsored entity as in the 501c3 corporate status that is prevalent
in the United States. We are not talking about entertainment centers
or social religious clubs. We are talking about the House that is not
made by man, but is made by God and inhabited by God through the
Spirit of God.
E. Many professing Christians have spurned the
call of God to come outside the corrupt religious system. They set on
pews listening over and over to dead men talking that spew leaven and
carnality upon the religious people. As in Jeremiah's day, so to
today, we have the priests—the so-called pastors sitting as
leaders over churches, that are sponsored by false prophetic
authorities that are in rebellion to the LORD. It is a system that
has fed itself. The priests bare rule by the false prophets. The
false prophets are listened to because the false priests encourage
the followers to heed their words and deeds. And, as Jeremiah said,
the people love it so. What shall you do in the end thereof? This is
the question.
F. I want to talk about Jesus. Church people
want to talk about church for the most part.
G. It is the
Lord that bought me not a “church”.
H. Our
bottom-line duty is to walk humbly before the Lord in sincerity and
singleness of heart. He is the One that bought us in His own blood on
the cross.
4.
“Accord”. And Being In One Accord...
A.
Act
2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness
and singleness of heart, Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour
with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as
should be saved.
B.
Lexicon:
"accord"--'homo-thumadon'----1) with one mind, with one
accord, with one passionA unique Greek word, used 10 of its 12 New
Testament occurrences in the Book of Acts, helps us understand the
uniqueness of the Christian community. Homothumadon is a compound of
two words meaning to "rush along" and "in unison".
The image is almost musical; a number of notes are sounded which,
while different, harmonize in pitch and tone. As the instruments of a
great concert under the direction of a concert master, so the Holy
Spirit blends together the lives of members of Christ's church.
C.
As we enter further and deeper into the last days as outlined in
scripture, they will be very dark days indeed. Gross darkness shall
be upon the darkened alienated people, but their shall be great light
and glory for those who have called upon the Lord in sincerity.
D.
A great unison, harmony, accord shall be among the true followers of
Jesus as they submit to their Head the Lord Jesus Christ and come out
of
all that is defiled so they may worship the LORD in spirit and
in truth.
E. As we read John 4 and what Jesus explained to
the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus said that the worshipers of
God will not be true worshipers based on their location as in a
mountain or even Jerusalem. The true worshipers of God will worship
God in spirit and in truth.
F. True growth will transpire
where God's presence is honored. True growth in conviction and
manifestation of the Spirit of God will take place among the sincere
ones that are following the Lord the Shepherd. We must be about our
Father's business and not the many “pastor's” of church
land's business. They have turned the Father's House into a den of
thieves. They have turned the gospel of our Lord into a mammon seed
doctrine for their own financial lusts.
G. As we align with
our God and Lord Jesus Christ we will also find ourselves aligned
with other true followers of Jesus though they be few as Jesus said.
But it will be sweet fellowship, sincere, holy and blessed. We will
speak the same thing, be of the same spirit and mind just as others
before us experienced that have run the race that was set before
them.
5.
The Disorder Of The Loss Of Smell. The Dog
Do On The Shoe
That
The Religious Can Not Seem To Smell.
A.
God is graphic at times in scripture.
B. The flesh is a
stench to God. Its ways are anathema to Him. The flesh and the ways
of the world are at odds with God. They are enmity with Him.
C.
God loves the world and gave His Son to be a ransom for those who
will believe upon Jesus.
D. But, we are not to love the world.
We are to love God. We are to love each other in Jesus name.
E.
There is a great disorder among the religious world today. They have
stepped in the dog-pile and have trodden on throughout their life
without cleansing. Now, they do not seem to smell the offensive odor
of the vileness of this world. They have become comfortable and
acquainted with it.
F. This is not so with God. He can never
get use to sin. He can never accept the flesh. He can never be
pleased with the stench of such things.
G. It is hard to tell
someone that has “stepped in the dop-pile” and walked
throughout their house that their home stinks!
H. But this is
the analogy I have to express the fallen state and the smell it has
to God by the religious Christian World.
I. God is looking for
a sweet smell. A sweet savor that stems from humble faithful
obedience.
J. This is why God is calling His people to come
out and be separate from the unbelievers, the infidels, those who do
not believe...They may say they believe but by their actions, desires
and words they prove that they are not believers in Jesus at all.
6.
God Has Ordained Specific Aspects Of Suffering For His Children.
A.
As we read the scriptures, we find that the those who have gone
before us in the faith have suffered. Jesus Himself is our chief
example of suffering. If we follow Jesus then we too shall
suffer.
B. Jesus yielded to the Father's specific plan of
suffering. It was the cross whereby He bore the sins of the world
upon His own body on the tree.
C. Isa
50:5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious,
neither turned away back. Isa 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and
my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from
shame and spitting Isa 50:7 ¶ For the Lord GOD will help me;
therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face
like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
D.
This is what the LORD has prompted me to share here, that we are not
to be rebellious. We are not to turn away back from what God has
ordained for us. Take the cup the Lord gives you. Drink it.
E.
This is very deep and very real.
F. The blessings that come
through this process of suffering is an eternal blessing. God has
chosen this way in His high wisdom that is farther than the heavens
are above the earth. They are deep, broad and wide, but they are
blessed for those who chose His way in Jesus Christ.
G. So, do
not think it strange by the fire trial that is to try you as if some
strange thing is happening. This is the way of the Lord. The trying
of your faith by fire will purify you for the glory of God.
1Pe
4:12 ¶ Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad
also with exceeding joy.

Spiritual Deafness And Hearing Loss Are Issues Of The Heart.
2.
Those Who RESIST The Truth And The Holy Spirit.
A.
2Ti
3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also
resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the
faith.
3.
Corruption: Rotten Fruit Is Rotten Regardless What Fruit It Is.
A.
A rotten apple is just as rotten as a rotten pear, orange or fig.
B. Too often professing believers excuse corruption and
rottenness based on what is the nature of the subject fruit.
C.
Many excuse politicians corruption based on their persona.
D.
Many tolerate and promote politicians for example even though they
are unbelievers, promote other Jesus' and gospels. This is
corruption.
E. Large portions of the Christian World are
involved in promoting men like Mit Romney, a Mormon, as a potential
presidency though he believes he will become a god. They will support
a Mormon politician even though they believe Jesus and Satan are
spirit brothers. Or, that Mormons deny the cross of Christ is the way
of salvation through grace through faith.
F. Why would a
believer in Jesus Christ align with a man who believes he will become
a god?
G. Why would a believer in Jesus Christ promote a
person as a governing official who believes the lie of Satan that man
can become god?
H. Haven't these Christians read the scripture
where it is said that the man of sin will proclaim that he is
god?
I. Can anyone honestly state that Jesus Christ would
endorse a Mormon or any other man to governance who does not serve
Him?
J. Would any of the apostles honestly encourage the pure
saints of God to entangle
in
the world of politics?
K. Would Paul, James, Peter or John
actually involve themselves with men and women of the political world
who were governed by lies, corruption, bribes and unlawful
activities?
L. The true faithful of Christ must remain
un-spotted from the world and its lusts and corruptions. Stand pure
before the LORD and be led by Him through yielded prayer.
4.
“You Shall Have No Other gods Before Me”, says the LORD.
Dt. 5:7; Ex 20:3; Lk 4:8
A.
Many are turning aside unto false doctrines that deny Jesus
Christ.
B. Many are following the doctrine of the Serpent that
they may become gods.
C. Many are believing the lie that they
themselves and of themselves are the christ.*
D. Many are
going astray in believing there are many paths to God.
E. Many
are deluded that they know God when they exercise vain practices such
as “praying to Buddha”, or offering incense to an
altar.
F. There is but One True God the Father. And there is
but one Lord Jesus Christ. 1Cor 8:6
G. There is no other
god.
H. God is the True God.

The Goat Herders:
Introduction:
The Word of God. Ezekiel 44 The House of the LORD and its ways.
a.
The LORD said, Israel was rebellious and full of abomination verse 6.
b. Eze
44:7 In that ye have brought [into my sanctuary] strangers,
uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my
sanctuary, to pollute it, [even] my house, when ye offer my bread,
the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of
all your abominations
c.
Eze
44:8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but
ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves
d.
Ezekiel 44 should be studied and the parallel of the Apostate Church
world and noted through the Holy Spirit.
e. Note that the
leaders given the charge to lead Israel that had fallen into idolatry
and sin were not released from their obligation to God. Next, they
were not given the privilege of coming near to God since they had not
sanctified the LORD. This---this is so important. We have so called
ministers today that do not come into the presence of the Holy God.
They are far from Him and His presence. They do not know the Lord yet
they speak as if they do. But, regardless, they have chosen their
delights and it was not in the Lord. This is what must be
understood.
f. The
priesthood of Zadok the righteous to lead the people into holiness
before the LORD.
Eze 44:23 And they shall teach my people [the
difference] between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern
between the unclean and the clean.
g. Contrast this from
the silly Goat Churches of today and their milquetoast gospel,
white-bread message, lack of God, lack of power and life, lack of the
Spirit.
The
Goat Herders:
A.
There has been a long trend in the Christian World to placate to
the
world.
B. This trend has lost the message of the gospel for a
white-bread gospel and a cross-less message.
C. The Goats are
not followers of Jesus. They are not sheep of His pasture.
D.
The Goat Herders are hirelings whose job it is to lead the goats in a
make-believe church.
E. The Goat Churches are not of Jesus
Christ but they are of the world.
F. The Goat Herders have not
led the goats into repentance and faith in Jesus Christ by way of the
cross.
G. Now, we have Goat Herder “pastors” such
as Steve Furtick, openly stating “this church is not for you if
you are a believer in Jesus Christ”.
H. Steve Furtick is
obviously attempting to be coy and clever with his semantics of
trying to “reach the lost” and having Christians join
“the army of the Kingdom”. However, unless we wage war in
the Kingdom of God according to the rules of the war we become
illegitimate.
I. The “Church” of Jesus Christ has
Jesus as its Head. The Church of Jesus is in submission to the Head
and the Word, and the Spirit of God.
J. The Church of Jesus
Christ is a body of believers not unbelievers.
L. The Church
of Jesus Christ worships God in spirit and truth.
M. The true
Church of Jesus is not an entertainment center or religious club.
N.
The Goat Herders job is to create an institution whereby they are
given accolades by man yet the rebuke of the LORD is upon them.
O.
The Goat Herders disregard the holiness of God and tolerate the
sensuality of the false prophetess Jezebel, who taught to eat things
sacrificed to idols, commit fornication and trust in their own
spiritual delusions.
P. The Goat Herders are blind. The goats
are blind too. They are both of the world and speak of the world.
Therefore, they do not have the love of God though they speak of Him
from time to time.
Q. The Goat Churches use God and do not
serve God.
R. Jesus will not receive any of these goats or the
work of the Goat Herders. It is rejected, naked, poor, blind,
miserable and reprobate concerning the faith.
S. Steve Furtick
and his Goat Church, called “Elevation Church”, is one of
thousands that is a work of man in the flesh.
T. “T”
for Tares. There has been a long time agenda to create religious
centers as this that masquerade as Churches but are false to the core
due to their message, method and manner.
U. You, as an
individual must decide what it is that you want. Is it Jesus? Is it
Church? Is it to belong to a popular religious church club?
V.
Jesus is coming again for a pure bride that is chaste without
blemish, spot, wrinkle or any such thing. This is only done by
interacting with Him through the Spirit and Word of God. We must
crucify ourselves to the world and the corruption that is in the
world by lust. We must be separate from unbelievers. We must be
separate unto the Lord. These are things that today's Goat Churches
do not know or realize.
W. We are called to not
be
conformed to the world. The Goat Church, the Goat Herders and the
Goats are all in one happy environment of the flesh though at times
they use Christian lingo or buzz words.
X. Unless the LORD
build the house they labor in vain that build it.
Y. Judgment
begins in the House of the LORD. All that is professing to be of Him
shall be judged by Him.
Z. “Z” for Zadok. Zadok
was a priest before the LORD that was honored by God. His name means
“upright”. The prophet Ezekiel spoke of the religious
system of apostate Israel and Judah how they had utilized
“uncircumcised” men to govern over the affairs of God. We
can see the parallel with this text of Ezekiel 44 in today's Church
World as the pedestal pastors promote a worldly religious mix that
includes unbelievers, thus, uncircumcised of the spirit, and also
have mystics, New Agers, Mormons, false prophets and apostles, and
false gospel messengers as leaders with influence over the vast
audiences of their institutions. Rick Warren is a chief example of
this.
One of the greatest errors of these Goat Churches is
that they do not bring correction to the masses for sinful corrupt
ways of the flesh for those who participate in their programmed
meetings. This is what transpired in the ancient times in apostate
Israel where the false erring spiritual leaders strengthened the
sinner in his transgressions rather than calling them to repent in
honor to God Almighty.
The Goat Churches are big business. The
Goat Herders are wealthy businessmen. The Goats that make it happen
are bankrupt spiritually, eternally, yet, they are the ones who pay
for what they want like any movie or circus act of entertainment.
This is not funny or entertaining at all. This is a very grievous
time where the herds of the masses are going astray after men. It is
like that which was spoken by Jeremiah, where a horrible and
wonderful thing was committed by the people that had forsaken the
Fountain of Living Waters and gone after cisterns, broken cisterns,
that could contain no water.
Goats get what they want for they
are very stubborn in their way. The Goat Herders are nothing more
than goats themselves for they have done that which was right in
their own eyes in departing from the Lord, His Word and Spirit and
manufactured works of their own hands thus greatly leading astray the
goat-people.
Evidence, Example and Discern:

Counter Point:
1. Yes it is true that Christians should serve the
Lord and not just sit on pews as is eluded to by Steve Furtick.
2.
Yes it is true that Christians should not merely study doctrine for
the sake of head knowledge, argument and debate.
3. However,
the purpose of the church is for the assembly of the righteous. It is
for the proclamation of the Word of God. It is for the ministry of
the Body of Christ. It is to experience the presence of the LORD in
the midst. It is to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.
The body of Christ is to be strengthened, encouraged and ministered
to by the Lord through His people. The church is not for the sake of
entertaining and appealing to the lost in the world. The church is
not to be of the world. But it is so sad to note that the popular
trends of today have forsaken, for the most part, godliness,
holiness, the true gospel, an authentic Word from God that is
scriptural.

Excerpts From An Email Exchange Regarding Important Vital Issues:
1.
The
hirelings are
governed by fear yet not the fear of the Lord. They are only
concerned for their own interests and they fear man. I agree
with you that they will suppress and hold back the real truth for the
sake of their popularity, money and honor of man.
2.
Jeremiah
spoke the truth and rebuked the false prophets, priests and elders of
Israel. The truth is the truth regardless of who it offends.
Fear the LORD not man. Amen.

Zechariah
14: (this is a word for the future age(s)) 6
And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the
nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of
Tabernacles. 17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the
earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of
hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of Egypt will
not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive
the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up
to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of
Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to
keep the Feast of Tabernacles. (Ultimately,
what is the Feast of Tabernacles? Is it not God dwelling among
men? Is it not Jesus Christ whom had the fullness of the
godhead dwell in Him bodily? Is it not the fact that God shall
dwell among His people that love Him? Ultimately I thank God
yes. Is their a Feast or external celebration day? My
point is, Oh, that everyday was Feast of Tabernacle Day in which we
fellowship with God the Father!)
20
In that day “HOLINESS TO THE LORD” shall be engraved on
the bells of the horses. The pots in the LORD’s house shall be
like the bowls before the altar. 21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and
Judah shall be holiness to the LORD of hosts. Everyone
who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them.
In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the
LORD of hosts.
This is very important. This text is speaking of the 1,000 year rein of Christ in the earth. Jesus Christ as the Head of the Church, and Lord of Lords and King of Kings shall institute His commands as directed by the Father and scripture. So, I agree that these things will come to pass as outlined in scripture in the future age under Jesus Christ.
4.
Isaiah 66 and temple worship and sacrifice in this age is an
abomination to God. However, the text in Isaiah 66 is crucial to
understand. My point in the Themes For The Week regarding
Isaiah 66 is that God reveals how He feels about sacrifice in a
temple:
|
¶ |
He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. |
I
believe what I stated about "N" is correct based on Isaiah
66 and the book of Hebrews in particular.
Specifically, I
am saying that to restore a temple in Jerusalem and offer sacrifices
in THIS AGE is an abomination. God will not have His people or
servants being involved in this practice based again on Isaiah 66.
God's temple, house or dwelling is with His people. We are
a temple made without hands. We are inhabited by the Spirit of
God. This is wonderful.
5.
Believers in Jesus Christ identity to JESUS CHRIST and not natural
Israel of the flesh.
a. The key thing is that our identity is not
with natural Israel but it is with Jesus Christ. We are rooted
in Him; not a natural unregenerated people (Col 2:7). Israel
has a calling and an election that God will honor if they remain not
in unbelief. Through mercy, God will graft them into the olive
tree so to speak; but the branches have been broken off due to their
unbelief. Romans 11.
I
do not believe that God has replaced natural Israel or Judah by the
"church". I believe that God has made a new man in
Christ whereby Jews and Gentiles are made to be one new man in
Christ. We are born again, born from above, regenerated
people. This is the Church of God.
b.
The promises and covenants have been changed through Jesus Christ.
Better promises, better covenant are all entailed by faith in Jesus
Christ. Hebrews 8:6-13. Eternal life is in the Son of God by
faith. 1Jo 5:11
c. Ephesians 2: As you cited Eph 2:12; as we
continue with this chapter it is showing us that through Christ we
are made one. There are no "strangers" or outsiders
in Christ once we have faith in Him. At the cross and by His
blood, Christ has done many things.
(Ephesians
2:11-12) Therefore remember
that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called
Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh
by hands this
is important. It is stating here that it is what the
"Circumcision made in the flesh by hands" is calling the
"Uncircumcision".
Rom
2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that]
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Rom 2:29 But he [is] a
Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart,
in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men,
but of God.
d.
Whereas,
according to Romans 2:28-29 it is clear that what God has
accomplished through Jesus Christ is not a work of the flesh, it is
of the spirit and heart.
e.
How
apostle Paul viewed the fact he was an Israelite according to the
flesh, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, circumcised the
8th day, concerning the Law--blameless...Philippians 3: A must read!
f. Important clarification: Colossians
2:7 states:
1.
Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as
ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
The
previous verse says:
2.
Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so]
walk ye in him:
Therefore, my point with the "key thing"
statement above is that our identity is not with natural Israel but
is Jesus Christ is correct. Our identity is in the reality of
the new life in Jesus through faith.
3.
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created
in righteousness and true holiness.4.
Col 3:10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge
after the image
of him that created him: ,,, Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek
nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond
[nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
6.
God bless Israel and the Jews. God
bless Israel, the Jews and Jerusalem. Peace be upon her as they
each and every one believes the gospel of Jesus Christ. Amen
7.
God has changed the covenant and brought better promises according to
scripture.
Hebrews
8:6 which is one of many texts in scripture that show God has created
a better and new covenant that is in the blood of His only begotten
Son Jesus Christ.
Hebrews
8:6-13 6But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how
much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises. ,7For if that first covenant had
been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
,,8For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel and with the house of Judah: ,,9Not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the
hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued
not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. ,,10For
this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after
those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and
write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to me a people: ,,11And they shall not teach every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all
shall know me, from the least to the greatest. ,,12For I will be
merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more. ,,13In that he saith, A new
covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and
waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
8.
Do you receive what these texts are saying? It says that Jesus
is the mediator of a "better covenant, which was established
upon better promises." It says, "if the first
covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought
for the second." It goes on and says that the LORD said He
would make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house
of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made at their fathers
in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land
of Egypt. THEY continued not in my covenant, and I regarded
them not said the LORD.
This text shows that God will
not forsake them utterly but be merciful thank God. And, He
will forgive them for their unrighteousness. But, He said, He
will make a new covenant and make the first old. Yes, I
understand God to say that the promises and covenants have been
changed through Jesus Christ according to this text and many others.
They are good changes.
9. Some things are fulfilled by Jesus and yet other elements have been changed per Hebrews 7. When the priesthood was changed, by necessity, the Law must be changed.
A. Hbr 7:11 ¶ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Hbr 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
B. Hbr 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
C. Hebrews 8:6-13 cited above. Better covenant, better promises, law not faultless, the seeking (sought) of a "second", the LORD said, "a new covenant" which through mercy He will pardon their sin.
10.Our identity is in Jesus Christ the Savior and Lord who purchased us in His own blood at the cross. He was raised from the dead by the Spirit of the Father. He has taken the Gentiles, and the Israel of the flesh, if they repent and have faith, and made them a new man in Jesus Christ. The two have become one in Jesus. It is not that Gentiles become Jews or Israelites in flesh. It is new spiritual man that endures for the ages to come in Christ.
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph 2:14 ¶ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us]; ,,, Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;
1-This one new man is in Christ Jesus
2-Christ has made both "one",
3-"in Himself--twain (the two) one new man."
11.
Exciting fact how God has had a remnant of natural Israel according
to the flesh since the times of Christ and the apostles.
a. Rom
11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
according to the election of grace.
b.
So, God has had a remnant among Israel of the flesh who had their
faith in Jesus Christ since the times of the resurrection of Jesus.
Through mercy and grace, God has had this remnant. This is the Lord's
doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. They being of the flesh of
Abraham, became sons of Isaac the promise and became heirs of
righteousness that is by faith---not works.
c. Rom
9:6 ¶ Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For
they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:Rom 9:7 Neither,
because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but,
In Isaac shall thy seed be called. Rom 9:8 That is, They which are
the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but
the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Rom 9:9 For
this [is] the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara
shall have a son. Rom 9:10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also
had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac; Rom 9:11 (For [the
children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil,
that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of
works, but of him that calleth;)

“I Am The Light Of The World”. “He That Follows Me
Shall Not Walk In Darkness...”, said Jesus Christ (John
8:12).
A.
Jhn
8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the
world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life.
B.
What a blessing Jesus is for those that follow Him!
C. I,
personally, as a disciple of Jesus Christ, am absolutely elated about
Jesus. I am so filled with “elation” within my being
about the Lord. I ponder the things that come through Him. Eternal
life, forgiveness, transformation, peace, joy, comfort, hope, and so
much more. I have been thinking about how I love the ways of the
LORD. He is so good and His ways are wonderful. He is such a blessing
to the soul. I enjoy so much how He teaches me. What
He
teaches and the like.
D. I was reading this text in John 8
and was struck by this verse. Jesus is THE light of the world.
Following Him means that you will not walk in darkness. This is also
a theme mentioned by John the apostle in 1John 1.
1Jo
1:5 ¶ This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at
all. 1Jo 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the
light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
E.
Jesus came to save. Jesus came to take away our sins. Jesus came to
show us the way to the Father. When we have faith in Him from our
heart, we are accounted righteous by God. He changes us and we live
our lives through the life of Christ. He is our righteousness. This
is one of the key points here that following Jesus who is light,
means we do not walk in darkness. That should be really good news for
you. If this bothers you, then there is something wrong. Do you love
the light? Or, do you hate the light?
F. The coming days are
very dark days indeed. As prophesied by Isaiah, the days will come
with great darkness, gross darkness upon the people. But those in
Jesus Christ shall not partake of this darkness for they shall have
the light of Jesus Christ. The very glory of God shall be upon them
and through them and that glory shall be seen upon them.
Isa
60:1 ¶ Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the
LORD is risen upon thee. Isa 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall
cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall
arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
G.
Furthermore we have the testimony of apostle Paul on this light in
Jesus Christ.
1Th
5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should
overtake you as a thief. 1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of
darkness.
H.
“H” for Hope. We have hope in Jesus Christ as this age
concludes in a state of darkness. He is our light and will never
leave us or forsake us. He is with us to the end of the age. Though
there is great darkness in the world, there will also be great light
of Jesus Christ for the faithful.
I. In the world shall come
an antichrist who shall set up a Kingdom in the earth as prophesied
by the prophets in scripture. A Kingdom of the Beast shall be
empowered by the Devil the Dragon himself. This Kingdom shall be
judged by God and those in it who have taken the mark of the Beast.
God shall judge them with great judgments of pain, scorching by the
sun and DARKNESS. Even as God judged the land of Egypt at the time of
the original Passover with a darkness so great that it could be felt,
so to will this Beast Kingdom of darkness be judged by God. But there
shall be salvation for those who deny the mark of the Beast and trust
God for all things including their salvation, deliverance, provision,
healing, guidance and any other thing needed by God's children.
2.
The Precious Members Of The Body Of Christ.
A.
God has
a place for
those that are in Jesus Christ.
B. The believers in Jesus
comprise the Body of Christ.
C. We are to be a spiritual
building, a habitation of God through the Holy Spirit.
D.
Each any every member in the Body of Christ is important and vital.
E. No one part can say to another part of the Body of Christ,
“I have no need of you”.
F. Therefore, it is a
great loss to the Body of Christ, yet alone the Lord Jesus, when one
of His saints falls away or goes astray into error.
G. I
appeal to those who profess faith in Christ to consider more
carefully how your life is beyond your own. Your behavior, your
service to the Lord or non-service has an effect on others. Your sins
may effect the Body of Christ as did the sin of Achan.
H. We
are called to be a holy people sanctified and fit for the Master's
use. May we all hold each other in honor to the Lord, encourage and
be holding each other accountable to the standard of God in His
Kingdom.
I. It is as those out at sea in a row boat. We do
not, and can not, have certain ones pocking holes in the boat. We can
not have the boat filling up with water when we are out at sea in
this world. We must close the gaps in Christ. Put away the flesh and
the ways of the world, putting on the Lord Jesus Christ and making no
provision for the flesh. This is our scriptural mandate from the Lord
in these Last Days.
J. “J” for Jesus. Jesus is not
willing that any perish. He is not willing to lose one. So, take hold
of eternal life. Take hold of the things you have heard and seen of
the Lord and make yourselves strong in Him.
1Cr
16:13 ¶ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be
strong.

Professors
Of Entering Into The “Divine Nature” Without Jesus Christ
And The Cross Is Synonymous With The New Agers' False Belief In
Becoming Deities—gods--- as the Serpent Said.
A.
Gen
3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Gen
3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and
that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
[one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also
unto her husband with her; and he did eat
B.
The serpent speaks the lie of 'man becoming a god'.
C. Adam
and Eve were deceived and believed the lie.
D. Paul the
apostle feared that the disciples of Jesus would be misled from the
simplicity that is in Christ and believe the subtlety of the lies of
the Devil.
E. The Mormon religion teaches that God was a man
who became God. And, that they as a man can become a god. That is
anathema. That is a lie of the serpent. That is another gospel. They
hold to another Jesus as 2Corinthians 11 speaks.
2Cr
11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. 2Cr 11:4 For if he that cometh
preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye
receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another
gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
F.
2Pe
1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
G.
Yes, the scripture teaches that those in Jesus Christ are granted the
promises whereby they may partake of the “divine nature”.
However, this reality comes by way of the cross of Jesus. It comes by
repentance, faith, and a crucified life over the ways of sinful flesh
and the corruption of the world through lust as this text declares.
H. I observe those in the Christian Land promoting a pseudo
spirituality that is not based in the power of God and reality of the
cross and power of the resurrection of Jesus. We will never
experience the 'divine nature' outside of partaking of the cross and
quickening of the Holy Spirit, which is the power of the
resurrection.
I. I urge you to have keen discernment and
perception that only comes from the Lord and having a pure heart in
Jesus Christ. Many are using elements of the truth but they
themselves are false. You must discern by the Holy Spirit. You must
discern by the Word of God. You must discern by having your senses
exercised to discern good from evil.
J. I also observe those
who promote a very esoteric and ethereal version of the “man-child”
spoken of in Revelation 12. There are those who say they will be the
man-child in the last days. I believe this is a distortion. I believe
that God has called us to walk in Jesus Christ now; not a delayed
someday experience of a mystical group here and there. Today is the
day to pick up our cross, deny ourselves, and follow Jesus. Glory in
the cross. Die daily. Be quickened by the Holy Spirit. Let Jesus
Christ be your life. Put on the new man. Put off the old man and his
corrupt deeds. By following these scriptural principles you will
indeed walk in the 'divine nature'. God has not called us to be mere
men. We are to be born from above. We must be washed, regenerated and
renewed by the Holy Spirit. Titus
3:5
K.
There are many people who have the desire to be god.
L. There
are many people who say they believe in Jesus Christ but desire to be
god.
M. There are many people who are masquerading as
believers in Jesus but are promoting a tangent gospel of mysticism
rooted in the Serpent's lie of godhood and supermen
christs.
They call it the “divine nature” or the “man-child”.
O.
One way to avoid this it to make sure you remain humble under the
mighty hand of God and remain a servant and not a King-deity exalted
in the vanity of your imagination.

Katalyo:
The Temple In Jerusalem Demolished, Destroyed, Eradicated, Concluded
Through Jesus' Fulfillment.
A.
Jesus fully rebuked the religious system in the days He was here as
outlined in Matthew 23 for their hypocrisy, error and unregenerated
lives.
Matthew
23: A Very Important Read regarding the error of religion.
Appearances, accolades, titles, seeking honor form man, hypocrisy,
leaven, controlling the people, and rejecting the true authority of
Jesus in reality.
B.
After Jesus rebuke of the scribes and Pharisees, Jesus disciples came
to Him to show Him the beauty and greatness of the buildings of the
Temple in Jerusalem as Matthew 24 documents.
C. This is an
odd thing to me considering the heavy rebuke and truthful state of
the religious system there in Israel. To focus attention and ascribe
value to “goodly stones and great buildings” I find very
odd indeed. But, I realize that this is the exact same thing that is
occurring in today's Christian World for the most part. The people
look on the appearance of things and do not rightly discern the true
state of the religious institutions.
D. Jesus proclaimed that Mat
24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I
say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down
E.
And it surely came to pass just as Jesus said. Jerusalem was
surrounded by armies of Rome and completely ransacked especially the
temple.
F. Jesus description of this destruction was specific
and stated that “there shall not be left here one stone upon
another...”.
G. However, Jesus next clarification of
this event is most important for us to understand, and that is, Jesus
continued, “...that shall not be thrown down.”
H.
The word for “thrown down” has the meaning of being
demolished as an institution.
I. "thrown
down" in Greek is "katalyo": Lexicon--1) to dissolve,
disunite a) (what has been joined together), to destroy, demolishb)
metaph. to overthrow i.e. render vain, deprive of success, bring to
naught1) to subvert, overthrowa) of institutions, forms of
government, laws, etc., to deprive of force, annul, abrogate,
discardc) of travellers, to halt on a journey, to put up, lodge (the
figurative expression originating in the circumstance that, to put up
for the night, the straps and packs of the beasts of burden are
unbound and taken off; or, more correctly from the fact that the
traveller's garments, tied up when he is on the journey, are unloosed
at it end)
J.
Jesus is declaring the end of the temple institution.
K.
Jesus as both priest and sacrifice before God for the sins of man,
offered Himself as a sacrifice for sins, making a way into the Holy
of Holies by way of His flesh.
L.
Hbr
9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of
all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet
standing: Hbr 9:11 ¶ But Christ being come an high priest of
good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not
made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Hbr 9:12
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he
entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption [for us]. Hbr 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats,
and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the
purifying of the flesh: Hbr 9:14 How much more shall the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot
to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God? Hbr 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new
testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
M.
There is a lot of misguided understanding of relating to the future
value of the Temple in Israel. I have heard bible teachers from
Dallas Theological Seminary such as Tommy Ice state that God was
going to restore the Temple in Jerusalem before the end. Also, it is
stated and believed that the two witnesses that prophecy in Israel
and are rejected and killed shall participate in the revived Temple
in the Last Days.
N. This is incorrect due to Isaiah 66. Since
Jesus fulfilled all righteousness and the penalty for sin according
to scripture, to continue to offer sacrifices on an altar is an
abomination to God. Therefore, true prophets or witnesses of the LORD
shall not be participating in the Last Days Temple if one is rebuilt.
Although the antichrist and the false church religion would most
certainly join together in these events thinking falsely that they
are serving God.
O. This is the reason disciples of Christ
must understand these things and what the scriptures teach in their
regard. Great deception is coming and has already arrived. Yet the
deception will increase on a great scale as God Himself allows the
disobedient to believe a lie.
P. Isa
66:1 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the
earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me?
and where [is] the place of my rest? Isa 66:2 For all those [things]
hath mine hand made, and all those [things] have been, saith the
LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and
of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. Isa 66:3 ¶ He
that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a
lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation,
[as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he
blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul
delighteth in their abominations.
6.
Truth Withheld For Money's Sake And Placating The Religious Masses Is
Anathema
(Cursed).
A.
I was listening to a sound man of God teaching on the Day of the
LORD. He was explaining the fallacies of those who promote a
pre-tribulation rapture. He was showing how they are not consistent
in their doctrinal position such as stating that Matthew 24 was
written to the Jews and not the Gentiles. Yet, they will tell you
that “we do not know the day nor the hour of the coming of
Jesus”. This statement is true, however, if they held to the
position that this gospel of Matthew was not written for the Gentiles
then it would not be used for their proof text in this manner.
B.
The key thing I want to document here is how this teacher said that
there are many “pastors” so-called who do not believe the
pre-tribulation rapture theory but teach it anyway.
C. This is
true.
D. The point the teacher was stating was that these
“teachers” feared the people's response if they taught a
biblical doctrine of persecution, affliction and tribulation for the
believers.
E. It also reveals that sad truth that most of
these type of “pastors and teachers” are hirelings who
teach according to the monetary draw and not the proclamation of the
truth.
F. “F” for False, fake, and failure for
those who withhold the truth of the Word of God due to its
unpopularity or the negative effect on receiving money. That is so
ungodly and foreign to the Kingdom of God and is shameful. It is
nothing but the love of money and filthy lucre.
G. Run from
these charlatan shenanigan con men. Run for your life. A little
leaven will leaven the whole lump. Beware of the leaven of the
Scribes and Pharisees.
H. It is quite easy to recognize those
who take the truth of God and push it into a tangent of error. Here
is how. In the Kingdom of God, humility and servantude is the earmark
of those following Jesus. Those who elevate themselves, speak of
themselves and seek glory and honor from man are not of God. This is
why those who want to be exalted love these elements of scripture
that speak of the 'divine nature' and the man-child.
I. Is it
enough for you to be faithful to the Lord and commended by Him in so
doing? Be honest.
7.
The World.
A.
Jesus said, “Jhn
17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
B.
Jesus said, “Jhn
17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
C.
Jesus said, “Jhn
15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the
world, therefore the world hateth you.
D.
Jesus said, “Jhn
7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of
it, that the works thereof are evil.
E.
So, if you are a disciple of Jesus, you should find that you are at
odds with the world. You should find that typically, people of the
world do not like you. Why? Because they hate Jesus.
F. If you
are a professing Christian and are not vexed with the wickedness of
this evil world, there is something wrong with you. Are you like Lot
who was vexed from day to day about the wickedness of Sodom? Or, are
you like Lot's wife who saw nothing wrong with her homeland. Rather,
her heart was more set on the evil in the land and her comfort with
it than the anger of the LORD Whom was incensed over the abominations
of the land.
G. Cain is of the world. There are many people
who have gone the way of Cain and will hate the righteous. They just
hate you without a reason.
H. John the apostle: 1Jo
2:15 ¶ Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the
world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
him. 1Jo 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world. 1Jo 2:17 And the world passeth away, and
the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever
I.
James the apostle: Jam
4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship
of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend
of the world is the enemy of God.
J.
Jesus has called you out of the world and into His Kingdom. Are you
still steeped in the things of this world? Are you of the world? Do
you love the world? Are you doing the lusts of the world? Pleasure
outside of God's order? Covetous for things not given to you? Are you
seeking the pride of life in notoriety, fame and honor of man? If so,
you are not in the Kingdom but of the world.
K. So now we see
just how evil the Church World is that is just as worldly as the
world itself. Because institutional Christianity has largely forsaken
Jesus and gone after the things of the world. The leaders are
worldly. Their message is worldly. Their devices and tactics are
worldly. Is it any wonder why the pew sitters are worldly?
L.
Come out. Come out of the world. Come unto the Lord Jesus and follow
Him in this wicked world and be a light. Be salt in the Lord Jesus.
But take heed, those who have lost their savor have become useless
and shall be thrown out only to be trampled under foot of man.
Mat
5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost
his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
8.
View Everything From God's Perspective.
A.
It is most important to view everything from God's perspective and
not a human emotion.
B. God's ways are not our ways. His ways
are higher than carnal man's ways as far as the heaven is above the
earth.
C. We must have our mind's renewed in Jesus Christ. We
must put on the mind of Christ. We must have our minds' girded.
D.
Too often people do not understand the mind of God. However, the Holy
Spirit is the Spirit of the Father which reveals to His followers the
mind of God.
1Cr
2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man
which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the
Spirit of God. 1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God. 1Cr 2:13 Which things also we
speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the
Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1Cr
2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them],
because they are spiritually discerned. 1Cr 2:15 But he that is
spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 1Cr
2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct
him? But we have the mind of Christ.
E.
It is evident from time to time that professing Christians lack the
understanding of the ways of the Lord due to the things they say and
believe.
F. A case in point that is very pertinent is the
judgment of God that is now manifesting in the earth. So often people
say they want God to delay judgment. Or, they pray for mercy that God
would not bring judgment upon the sons of disobedience that refused
to repent after long dealings of the Lord.
G. It is so odd
that people would think they have more love or mercy than God(?).
H.
Scripturally, we see that there are times when the line is crossed
and God must judge for His name's sake.
I.
The flood of Noah is one example. The judgment upon Sodom and
Gomorrah is another. The judgments upon Israel and Judah His own
rebellious unbelieving people yet another example. These things are
written for our admonition and learning. Does anyone really learn and
take these things to heart? God is a consuming fire. It is a fearful
thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
J.
In scripture, we see the holy ones of the LORD praising God and
declaring how worthy and right His judgments are. Why are professing
Christians contrary to the mind and Word of God?
K. Again, we
must view everything and have understanding from God's
perspective.
9.
Houses, Families and Relationships To Be Divided According To Jesus.
Warning—Be Prepared.
A.
This text was quickened to me this week. The reality of absolute
betrayal from those closest to us. Even to the point of death!
Mat
10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the
father the child: and the children shall rise up against [their]
parents, and cause them to be put to death. Mar 13:12 Now the brother
shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and
children shall rise up against [their] parents, and shall cause them
to be put to death. Luk 21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by
parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and [some] of you
shall they cause to be put to death.
B.
In the Last Days, the atmosphere in the earth will be catastrophic
full of tyranny, oppression, pressure and fear. It will be 'every man
for himself'.
C. Keep your focus on the eternal. Keep your
priorities and focus on the Lord and not your own life and the things
of this world. As you lay it down from day to day, it will be easy by
the grace of God to go through these things. Considering Jesus and
how He endured a great contradiction of sinners as Hebrews 12 tells
us.
10.
“All Who Live Godly In Christ Jesus Shall Be Persecuted”.
2:Timothy 3:12:
A.
2Ti
3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution.
B.
All means all. If you truly live godly in Jesus, then you will be
persecuted.
C. Are you being persecuted?
D. Are you
avoiding persecution?
E. Are you silent?
F. Are you
hiding your light?
G. Have you already lost the salt's
savor?
H. Consider whole Christian Church movements today that
are banding together with other religions, emphasizing entertainment,
worldliness, salt-less gospel, sensual emphasis, cross-less message,
synthesized (blended) themes, mystical pursuits, denying the word of
God and hide the truth.
I. So many “churches”
today are pursuing things of the world. So many “churches”
today offer a milquetoast gospel message. So many “churches
today are just religious social clubs. Too many “churches today
do not make disciples of Jesus. The majority of “churches”
today are not listening to the voice of the Spirit. The Lord is
censored. The Church World today is syncretized with the world,
politics, entertainment, mysticism, vanity and is in the wrong battle
by being entangled in the affairs of this world. This—is
apostasy.
J.
There is no persecution for righteousness because there is no
righteousness. There is no persecution for Jesus' sake because He is
not involved.

Days.

Have you notices how the multitudes around you are like a herd?
C.
Have you noticed how the public at large is largely lost?
D.
Have you discerned how selfish people are?
E. Do you observe
how darkened people's eyes are?
F. Most people around you
think they are so wise but yet they are so foolish.
G. We are
really seeing the Word of God coming to pass in our day!

The Parallel Between Jeremiah 7 And Ephesians 5.
A.
God told Jeremiah the prophet to prophecy to the religious people.
God was calling the people to amend their ways and then they would be
allowed to remain in the land that God had given them.
B.
They were committing adultery, lying, stealing, burning incense to
Ball and worshiping other gods.
C. God's call through
Jeremiah was that the sinning religious people not TRUST IN LYING
WORDS.
D. God was greatly offended that the people would sin
so freely and then come stand before Him as if to worship.
E.
Today, the state of the institutional Church is in the same as Israel
and Judah which God judged for their hypocrisy and un-repented
sin.
F. Paul the Apostle in Ephesians 5 states the same call
to turn from sin.
G. Paul urged that believers in Jesus
Christ be not deceived by lying words that whitewash sin and
encourage and strengthen people in their sin rather than calling them
to stop.
Eph
5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these
things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
Jeremiah
7: Amend your ways. Don't sin away and then come stand before God as
if you love Him. Don't trust in lying words that allow
this.
Ephesians
5: Paul the apostle's warning to sinning "Christians" who
believe lying words that it is OK to sin.

“Keryx”; Greek word translated as “preacher”

official messages of kings, magistrates, princes, military
commanders, or who gave a public summons or demand, and performed
various other duties. In the NT God's ambassador, and the herald or
proclaimer of the divine word
D.
“Preacher” has come to have a negative connotation in my
opinion. Preachers have a long history of being men who spoke with an
affectatious religious sound but had too much of the time no power or
authority in what they spoke. A preacher, in the scriptural sense, is
a person who is authorized with power and authority to speak on
behalf and in the name of Jesus Christ the King of Kings.

Again, What Is A Watchman Of The LORD?
A.
Eze
3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning
from me.
B.
A watchman is made by
God.
Man does not make himself a watchman.
C. A watchman hears the
word, the message, from
the
mouth of God. He does not make it up or conjecture based on his
natural senses. Recently I heard a radio personality state he was a
watchman of the LORD and he analyzed the past to determine the
future.
THAT IS NOT A WATCHMAN!
D.
A watchman warns those he is sent to warn authorized from the Lord
Himself.
E. In the last days, the LORD has said that His
watchmen will see eye to eye.
Isa

shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall
bring again Zion.

“WARN” Them From Me. Scriptures Call To Warn, Exhort,
Admonish, Reprove, And Rebuke
A.
As I was sleeping one night this week, this is what came to me.
“Warn”.
I looked up this word. I was recalling in the
night that we are told to warn in many instances. Warn the
wicked. Warn the rich. Warn.
Eze
33:7 So thou, O son 1121 of man 120, I have set 5414 thee a watchman
6822 unto the house 1004 of Israel 3478; therefore thou shalt hear
8085 the word 1697 at my mouth 6310, and warn 2094 them from me.

Isn't this very interesting? To "warn" is to admonish

It is the light of the Word of God. The light of the quickened

We can not eat of bread alone, but we must eat every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God. The entrance of God's Word
gives light. So warn. Bring to light the truth to the

Radio Personalities Of Religious Themes Acting As Watchman: Watch
Out.
A.
My concern here is that too many professing Christians are taken in
by radio personalities that use a religious motif instead of being
authentic ministries of Jesus Christ.
B. There are many
personas masquerading as Prophets or Watchman who are not servants of
Jesus Christ. They serve their own belly as the scriptures outline.
They speak their own words, their own dreams and visions, their own
illusions most of the time. But there are also radio personalities
that use the “buzz words” of the true authentic message
such as repentance that I have previously described.
C. I am
urging again to watch out and beware of the Prognosticators. These
are they who focus on time lines and events and emphasize these
things over the true message of God and the gospel. Sometimes they do
not even mention Jesus or the gospel. Take note! How can a person
serve the Lord and not mention Him? It is so obvious it is quite
silly but if one does not have a true childlike sincere heart before
the Lord, they may lose the ability to discern.
D. “D”
for Duh Prognosticators. Their words most generally do not come to
pass. “Oops, how 'bout this one? Or this? Maybe this? Or could
it be that? They grab for straws and throw mud on the wall hoping
something sticks. This is not being a sanctified God fearing servant
of Jesus Christ.
E. The Guess-a-lot-ers. How many times have
you heard so-called prophetic talk surmising on things? 'This may
happen
or that?' This vein is feeding the fleshly desire of people who want
to be titillated and fascinated by the new and latest dream, prophecy
and vision. Ooooo.....so spooky.
F. The prophets speak from
the same Spirit, the same God, the same Lord. It is the same voice of
the LORD that the true prophets are speaking. It is His Word and not
this
prophet's
and that
prophet's
word as is commonly sold in Apostasy-ville.
G. Make a
distinction between true servants of Christ from those who serve
their own belly and self. Make a distinction between he that speaks
from the Lord from he that speaks from his mind, seeing nothing,
going—but not being sent by the LORD. They went, says the LORD,
but not by Me. They spoke, but spoke a lying vision of their own
imaginations. Be not deceived. This is the hour of the lie. Believe
not every spirit but try the spirits to see if they are of God.
H.
I have recently written about the program where professing watchmen
never mentioned Jesus once in an hour, nor the gospel nor gave any
scripture during an entire hour long broadcast. While I am not
stating they are false, I am stating that this is a great error that
will lead to becoming a false ministry if one does not stay crucified
to their flesh, humble and obedient to the Lordship of Jesus, and
seek to glorify Him and not their own self.
I.
A long time ago the Lord had shown me and I had reported this to
others in radio ministry that the prophets will “drop off like
flies” as they forsake the Lord and became entangled and snared
in the ways of the world and flesh. Some secret sin can take away the
heart from the first love Jesus and corruption takes root. The Lord
had shown me that these erring “prophets” or watchman
will “steal the word” from other true prophetic voices.
This is what Jeremiah has prophesied.
Jer
23:30 ¶ Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith
the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour
and,
This
is what God says on this topic of the phoney prophet watchman that
steal the word and make up fanciful predictions, prognostications and
fascinate with their latest dream and vision: Jer 23:31 Behold, I
[am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues,
and say, He saith. Jer 23:32 Behold, I [am] against them that
prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my
people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them
not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people
at all, saith the LORD.

Son of God. He ministered outside the religious system declaring the
call of God to repent and bring forth fruit worthy of repentance.
The
ministry of John the Baptist in the spirit of Elijah--preparing the
way of the coming of the Lord, the first time. A voice in the
wilderness, crying, decrying the Word of the LORD. NOTE: Matthew
3
B.
When the religious leaders the Pharisees and elders came to “sniff
out” John, he chided them and asked them who had warned them to
flee from the wrath to come(?).
C. The axe is now laid to the
tree that is not bearing fruit unto God and hewn down to be thrown
into the fire of eternal judgment.
D. Nothing is new under the
sun. The same is true today in the religious world. God is
ministering outside the religious order and institutions of religious
men.
E. God will still speak to the religious ones if they
will see and hear from Him then perhaps they may recover themselves
from the snare of the evil one. Jesus Himself ministered to Nicodemus
a leader of the Jews.
F. In recent days I shared with another
believer my concern for those in institutional Christianity. These
churches, ministries, organizations and such that are implementing
secular governmental input through their relationship as a “501c3”
tax status with the Internal Revenue Service, are in great jeopardy
before God. To do so, is to violate the Kingdom of God and its call
to serve the Lord in fear and submit totally to His Lordship. We can
not serve God and Caesar. We can not minister Caesar's word and God's
Word. These in these systems must choose who they will serve.
G.
Will it be Jesus Christ or the antichrist?
H. Today, I dare
say that leaders in Church land are either preparing the people for
Jesus Christ or the Antichrist. Whether you know it or not, you will
take one of these two powers as your lord. Are you looking for Jesus?
Those who are not looking for Jesus are already set up to find the
antichrist as their master. Herein is the great grieving of the
Spirit of God that has called the beloved to make ready for the
Bridegroom, yet the masses of the religious world have already left
the Lord in their hearts, minds and proven so by their lifestyle.
I.
“I” is for me. As for me and my house, I will serve the
Lord. I is for individual. You and I as individuals must serve the
Lord regardless what others about us do. We can not rely on a church
to serve the Lord. We can not depend on our spouses, our families,
neighbors or friends. It is up to each of us as an individual
disciple to follow the Lord regardless of the cost.

The Scriptural Relationship With Israel And the Jews For
Christians.
A.
What saith the scriptures first and foremost?
B. What does
scripture say regarding “standing with Israel?”.
C.
How does a Christian “stand with Israel and the Jews”?
D.
Hope at the end for Israel, the Jews and Jerusalem. After the time of
the gentiles, those who do not remain in UNBELIEF...
E. What
was Jesus testimony regarding those who professed to be Abraham's
children?
F. The flesh profits nothing.
G. What was
Paul the apostle's testimony regarding his own countrymen that were
yet unrepentant and unbelieving?
1Thessalonians
2:14-16
H.
Real Christians are of the circumcision made without hands. A
circumcision of the spirit and not the flesh.
Col
2:11 ¶ In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh
by the circumcision of Christ:
Rom
2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is
that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose
praise [is] not of men, but of God.
I.
You must be born again. You must be born from above to enter and see
the Kingdom of God according to Jesus.
Link:
Born again; not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, by the Word of
God.
J.
Scriptural faith in Christ calls for the proclamation of the gospel
of Jesus to the Jews and the entire nations of the world.
Mar
16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature.
K.
From what I wrote in an email today:
(response
to a sincere question)
No,
I do not believe it is "standing with Israel" when
professing Christians do exploits without ministering the gospel of
Jesus. I do not believe it is standing with Israel by doing
these exploits with iniquitous partnerships of unbelievers and
worldly schemes, that in reality, are antichrist in spirit, deed and
doctrine.
I agree with you that we "should morally stand
with Israel against attack". Yes, I agree with Romans 11
and understand this truth.
I believe what I am really
urging against is believers being caught up in a plot to synthesize
Christians in order to bring about a new synthesis and world agenda
that is antichrist. We should love Israel, pray for their
salvation, peace, and that they receive and believe on Jesus.
Today is my writing day and I got a bit long writing due to my desire
to express these things. I gently write you and encourage your
weighing of these things. I do believe that we are generally
saying the same thing. (Howse quotes UN leader Julius Huxley in
the 1940's who expressed the desire to 'take opposites, destroy them
and synthesize--blend them into a new synthesized belief. THIS
IS WHAT IS UNDERWAY WITH Rick Warren, Tony Blair, Rick Joyner, NAR,
Chuck Pierce, Emergent Christianity, IHOP, etal. They are
synthesizing and joining together with unbelievers. Wow.
They are not holding the "Head" Jesus Christ by which the
whole body is built up and nourished. So, they are broken off
and withering...deceiving and being deceived)
May
I encourage you to listen to the following audios?
(I am finding
God is further expanding my perception on what is transpiring in
these days. The LORD had showed me in 2005 (The ALARM) that the
government would place men as "ministers" and give them a
message that was not from God. The goal would be to corral the
minds of religious populace to bring them into their desired One
World Antichrist Government. Crowd Control. (Peter
Drucker and his influence)
This is why I am so against the
people that profess faith in Jesus to be joining with other people of
other gospels and Jesus' for the sake of politics and Americanism,
or, "standing with Israel". We are not to have
fellowship with darkness, nor associate with the wicked, and people
of other gospels. This is undermining the sanctity of
professing Christians and setting them up for deception.

Trevor Davis' position on the believers'
relationship with natural Israel and the Jews according to scripture:
September 8, 2011:
ISRAEL and the Jews:
1. I sincerely pray
for Israel and the Jews that they will repent, receive and believe on
Jesus Christ the Messiah.
2. I believe as Romans 11 outlines
that they have a calling and election in which God will through
"mercy" graft them back into the "olive tree" "if
they remain not in unbelief". Ro 11:23
3. I do not hate
any people.
4. I believe God is not willing that any should
perish. It is God's will that the gospel of Jesus be proclaimed
unto all the world and to all the nations including Israel.
5. I
believe that Israel is largely unrepentant and still in unbelief and
have not believed in Jesus Christ who is the Door to the Father, who
is the only name in which we must be saved. He is the way, the
truth and the life and no one can find their way to the Father except
by Him. Jo 14:6.
6. I do
not believe
that it is right to oppose Israel or the Jews by any type of
persecution, harm or any manner of evil.
7. I do
not believe
that it is wise to participate in the mixed
bag political agendas
that
are more using religion for effect than authentic godly Kingdom of
God support for Israel. In other words, I believe the powers
that be that have an antichrist agenda for world government,
economics, religion, and societal control are more using religious
unsuspecting and undiscerning people for there own outcome. The
world and the political world has always used religious props for
visual effect such as the "big name" ministers. I do
not believe that is God's will for His disciples to be used in this
manner for evil or deceptive appearances. I believe we should
be separate to the Lord and proclaim His Word.
8. I
absolutely believe that the Word of God makes it clear what will
happen to Israel, the Jews, and these people as they continue to
resist the Spirit of God in believing the gospel of Jesus and His
Kingdom.
Dark
Days for Unrepentant Unbelieving Israel:
a.
Luk
23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. ,,, Luk
23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say,
Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps
which never gave suck. ,,, Luk 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to
the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. ,,, Luk 23:31
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in
the dry?
b.
Zec
12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all
people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,
though
all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
,,, Zec 12:4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse
with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine
eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the
people with blindness. ,,, Zec 12:5 And the governors of Judah shall
say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my
strength in the LORD of hosts their God. ,,, Zec 12:6 In that day
will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the
wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all
the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and
Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in
Jerusalem. ,,, Zec 12:7 ¶ The LORD also shall save the tents of
Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of
the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against
Judah. ,,, Zec 12:8 In
that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and
he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the
house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before
them. ,,, Zec 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I
will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. ,,,
Zec 12:10 ¶ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of
supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,
and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son],
and
shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for
[his] firstborn.
1.According
to these two texts, it will be woeful for Israel with the armies of
the nations gathered against it. (Similar to what is going on
now in the Middle East. The same behind the scenes men and
their agenda will attempt to take Israel but the Lord will stop
it)
2.The Lord shall defend Israel against the armies of the
world who come against her. They shall behold the Lord Jesus
whom they pierced, mourn, repent and believe on Him. Praise
God!
Concluding:
I believe it is God's will for all
people to be saved through the gospel. I pray for Israel and
the Jews to be saved, repent, and have faith in Jesus. I
believe at the end, after the events outlined by Daniel and John in
Revelation, and of course all the prophets, that there will be great
things happening in Israel as God gets their attention. The
earthquake that kills 7,000 and they actually stop and give glory to
God!
They will experience the prophesy of the 2
witnesses though they resist. But when they are surrounded by
the world's armies, at the end of this age, the Lord Himself will
come with 10 thousands of His saints and make war against them.
They shall behold Him whom they pierced, mourning, repenting and
having faith. Praise God!
I believe that all
truth of God is a fine line truth. Adding, subtracting from the
Word of God is forbidden by God. Extremes to the left or to the
right are always error. So, we must have a true authentic
scriptural understanding of all things especially this issue of our
relationship with unregenerated natural Israel and the Jews.
The flesh profits nothing according to Jesus and Paul. A Jew is
one inwardly. We are of the circumcision of the Spirit; not the
flesh. While those who were born of the genealogies of the
patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, they still must be born again
in order to enter the Kingdom of God as Jesus stated in John 3.
Jesus chided the religious Jews for thinking they were sons of God
based on their flesh genealogy. He stated they were sons of the
devil due to their manner and conduct. So, I believe this is
the truth in this regard. Yes, there is a calling and election
of God for Israel and the Jews. Yet, they are in a state of
unbelief.
We
should pray for them, provide the gospel, which is largely not done,
but we should be like the apostles in Acts which proclaim the truth
of the gospel of Jesus, thus truly standing with Israel. But in
due time, after the fulness of the times of the gentiles, God will
move in a mighty way to fulfill His Word and those who have faith in
Jesus calling upon Him shall be saved.
(Note
from Trevor Davis:)
Someone asked me today, “The question I
have is as the nations of the world and Islam unite together against
Israel. you don't like the morality of standing with them and
against the Satanic onslaught (Revelation 12) ?
My
answer to this is that I believe that the Word of God is going to be
fulfilled with the armies of the world uniting against Israel, the
Jews and against God Himself including the Lord Jesus. There is
no stopping this.
From
an eternal perspective, we should pray for their conversion.
Conversion to God through the gospel. I do not believe joining
in fleshly worldly endeavors through politics with others of false
gospels and religions is what God is leading us to do as disciples of
Jesus. Again, the apostles Paul, Peter, James and John would
never be involved in these tactics.
I am convinced that
the powers that be, the "rich men", and those rebelling
governmental leaders are being allowed by God to bring their wicked
Babylonian End Times Beast System to the fore right now as we speak.
They are using religion. They are using the undiscerning
religious people for their goals of uniting the world under the
Dragon the Devil Satan. We have to have discerning eyes, and
sensitive ears to the voice of the LORD and be of understanding of
these things. Our Lord's coming draws nigh. We must rise
and shine in His name and hold forth His Word being filled with the
Spirit of God and all boldness.
So, I am against those
who would unite to harm Israel and the Jews. I would warn them
not to lift a finger against this people. That is the most that
I can do besides praying and looking forward to God to fulfill His
will. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Minister the Word
of God. Warn the wicked against banding together to do the evil
outlined in scripture. I believe this is sound.

The Letters Of Paul To Timothy.
A.
Today I read through 1Timothy and 2Timothy.
1Timothy:
Read and note--"Doctrine, Study, preach, and much more...
B.
Paul “commanded” that we teach no other doctrine!
C.
Study the doctrine, give yourself to reading, exhorting and
ministering the Word of God.
D. Study as a workman that needs
not be ashamed. Rightly dividing the Word of truth.

Be A Good Soldier Of Jesus Christ!
A.
2Ti
2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus
Christ. Be
a soldier. Endure.
B. Good soldiers are not entangled in the
ways of the world or its affairs.
2Ti
2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this]
life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. .
C.
Good soldiers fight for the right side—heaven. This is a
spiritual battle against spiritual forces. It is not carnal against
flesh and blood.
D. Good soldiers pick their battles
carefully. They are the LORD's battles, not their own or carnal wars
of the flesh.
E. Good soldiers do not go AWOL. They are not
missing in action.
Definition--AWOL:
AWOL or awol (wôl)adj.Absent without leave.n.One who is absent
without leave.
F.
Good soldiers use their weaponry properly.
Eph
6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
G.
Good soldiers submit to their authority. They follow their command.
Is not Jesus the Lord? Are you following orders?
H. Good
soldiers pay the price.
I. Good soldiers are disciplined,
focused and ready for battle.
J. Good soldiers observe all of
these principles. Today, in Christian Land we are in a state of
apostasy and heresy that has wandered far from these principles. Too
many professing Christians are entangled with the affairs of this
world. Too many are promoting a worldly faith that is not according
to the way of the Lord. Too many Christians are fighting for the
wrong side thinking theyare serving the LORD. Too many have sided
with God's enemies and enemies of the cross. Too many Christians are
not submitted to the Lordship of Christ. They serve their own belly
or their own imaginations.
K. To get the reward with the Lord
we must do the battle according to His dictates. To receive the
reward of the masteries we must do so according His ways. 2Ti
2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned,
except he strive lawfully
I.
We must understand that the Lord is telling us to serve Him on His
terms. Follow Him. Do things His way. Do what He says. Serve the Lord
rightly. Walk the strait and narrow way that leads to life. Very few
will. Very few will make it. But, if you chose so, trust the Lord
Jesus to make the way and to keep you in the way. For it is the Lord
Jesus Himself Who is the Way.

“Are You A Disciple?”.
“Are You A Follower
Of
Jesus Christ?”
A.
This is a vital question that each and every professing Christian
must answer.
B. Do you follow Jesus? Do you walk with Him? Are
you walking in the light as He is in the light?
C. Are you
sure you are not trusting 'thought' as opposed to authentic
conversion through faith which manifests a transformation in you?
D.
Many in the Christian World trust they are saved due to many false
ideals such as “going to church”, or, they give money to
the church or some other good work.
E. Many say they believe
but they do not know the Lord.
F. Many say they believe yet
they deny Him by their lifestyle.
G. Many say they are
believers yet they do not know the Word of God nor desire to know the
Word.
H. Too many professing Christians have a religious
culture identity but are not true disciples of Jesus and they will be
rejected by Jesus when they stand before Him.
I. Jesus said,
“Mat
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity and Mat
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity andMat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto
them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting
fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
J.
Today, the majority of the Christian Church World is participant on a
religious level of a culture rather than authentic spiritual
conversion in Jesus Christ. Thus, we have too many people walking in
the broad and wide way that leads to destruction. These are those who
walk in the flesh and are contrary to all godliness. They do not
abide in Christ and they do not have the Word of God abiding in them.
They are people of the flesh. They are not born again. They do not
know the voice of the Lord nor do they do as He commands. They are
foolish ones that build their lives on sand. When the storm shall
come, the great vehement winds and waves shall buffet their lives and
great will be the destruction for those who have not heeded the voice
of the Lord and been wise building their lives on the foundation of
faith and obedience to Christ the Lord.
Mat
7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a
rock. Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and
doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
house upon the sand: Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and
great was the fall of it.
2.
If You Are A Spiritual Leader Are You Making Disciples?
A.
Disciples or monsters?
B. What is it that the Church World
has produced for the most part? Hearers only? The unchanged? Lovers
of this world?
C. Today, we have a preponderance of religious
people being entertained by a silly milquetoast “white bread”
gospel with worldly music that titillates the masses. As drunken
sailors sing-'how dry I am'; without the Spirit, twice dead, clouds
without rain...trees without fruit.
Jude's
description of these gone astray ones...
D.
God commands that if a man will be a teacher then they should speak
according to His Word.
E. God commands those who lead in His
name make disciples and not religious corrupt people who have false
conversions and pseudo faith.
F. Paul the apostle was a man
who loved Jesus Christ and loved the followers of Jesus. He said he
was jealous for them with godly jealousy and desired to espouse them
to the Bridegroom. Paul the apostle wrote that he desired that the
believers in Christ be chaste, holy, ready for the Master.
2Cr
11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have
espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste
virgin to Christ.
G.
Paul's concern that the faithful in Christ would be misled and
corrupted has come to pass in our day on a grand scale.
2Cr
11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. 2Cr 11:4 For if he that cometh
preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye
receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another
gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].

The “Many” That Shall Fall Away-- Or Walk Away From Jesus
In The Last Days Is Coming To Pass.
A.
2Pe
2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom
the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
B.
Matthew
24:10 Many shall be offended
C.
2Th
2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not
come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition
D.
Mat
24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many. And, Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many.
E.
Many shall fall away because the Word of God is shallow in their
hearts. Many shall not understand and Satan steals the Word of God
that was sown in their heart. Many shall give up when persecution and
affliction for the Word of God comes. Many shall have the Word of God
CHOKED by the cares of life and the lusts of other things dominating
their lives. Jesus'
dissertation on the Word of God in the heart and how it may become of
no effect. The Parable of the Sower and the Seed--Matthew 13.
F.
Many say they believe in the cross of Jesus but they themselves have
not crucified their flesh as the Word of God commands. They do not
glory in the cross of Christ and thus, their flesh is alive and well
sinning unto death.
Gal
2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I
live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself
for me. And, Gal 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto
me, and I unto the world.
4.
What Is The Message Of God?
A.
The pure milk of the Word of God.
B. The gospel of Jesus
Christ. THE
GOSPEL: Links in scripture on this message. A wonderful read.
C.
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God. The
Gospel of the Kingdom
D.
The Living Word of God that calls all men to repentance and faith in
Jesus Christ. Act
17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where to repent:
E.
Prepare for the Bridegroom for He cometh. Psa
96:13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the
earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people
with his truth. And, Psa 98:9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge
the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the
people with equity.
F.
The Everlasting Gospel, the Judgment of God Almighty, the patience of
the saints... Rev
14:6 ¶ And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the
earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Rev
14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for
the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven,
and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
G.
The Unchanging Message of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ and His
Kingdom. Isa
8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to
this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
5.
What The Message Of God Is
Not.
A.
Ecumenicism. Synthesizing all religions into one.
B. A “new
way”. A “new thing”.
C. Reinventing the
Church. Reinventing Christianity. These are titles of books by false
teachers.
Reinventing
the Church Links: Also, counter expose on these false movements.
D.
“We are gods”. Today, many profess this false gospel
message that humanity must realize their godhood. New Age, false
religions as well as heretical teachers of the Word of Faith movement
and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) are now promoting. They are
akin to the false teacher Oprah Winfrey and her New Age gospel of
godhood. Note people such as Barbara Marx Hubbard:
Expose
article on New Age and Barbara Marx Hubbard. Links
Heresy of Barbara Marx Hubbard
E.
Focusing, analyzing, surmising, prognosticating regarding the
catastrophic judgments that are underway. Especially when the Jesus
is not mentioned, the gospel is not proclaimed, nor the use of
scripture. Too much fascination on events and not a real walk with
Jesus Christ.
F. Regurgitating conjecture, opinions,
misinformation, disinformation and the like. Too many people profess
the lingo of these things but not the gospel and the Word of God. It
is the Word of God that God uses to bring conviction.
6.
Glenn Beck The False Teacher.
A.
This is a very serious issue at hand. Many professing Christians and
“leaders” are joining with Glenn Beck, a devout Mormon
celebrity, that promotes a false gospel, a false Jesus,
political-ism, nationalism, patriotism, and even moral issues.
B.
Glenn Beck has authored a book in which he states there are many
paths to God which is contrary to the specific teaching of Jesus in
Jhn
14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
C.
Glenn Beck stated in a practice run of the recent Jerusalem meeting
that “there are three peoples, three faiths and three paths to
God”.
In the actual meeting in Jerusalem, Glenn Beck made it
known that he is a Mormon. He stated that he was raised a Catholic,
trained by Jesuits, and then became a Mormon after his careful study
and analysis of counter Mormonism materials. He is not a casual
mistaken Mormon. He full well realizes that Mormon doctrine teaches
that “God was once a man who became God, and that man shall
also become god if they follow Mormon doctrine.
D. Glenn Beck
has also professed in his teaching, that there is no lake of fire or
eternal judgment of hell as Jesus is recorded as teaching. Who do you
believe? Glenn Beck? Jesus Christ?
E. Glenn Beck teaches a
different Jesus and another gospel. Why are droves of professing
Christians partnering with such a man for the sake of Americanism,
patriotism and an American way of life?
Eph
5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove [them].
2Jo
1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he
hath both the Father and the Son. 2Jo 1:10 If there come any unto
you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house,
neither bid him God speed:
F.
“F” for failure to follow Jesus Christ. This F is for
leaders and followers who are disobeying the command to be separate
from false teachers and their doctrine. Men like David Barton who
professes to be a Christian has refused documentation that proves
that America's Founding Fathers were largely heretical antichrist
haters of Jesus Christ and the gospel and continue to foster this
myth that America's Founders were Christians. David Barton makes his
living by promoting these lies and now stands with Mormon, future
deity hopeful Glenn Beck. While Glenn Beck boldly proclaims his
universalism and ecumenicism on the platform, men like David Barton
deny Christ by their association and compromise.
G. In so
doing, those who follow this patriotic way of joining with heretical
infidels are actually promoting another gospel other than the gospel
of Jesus Christ. God has not called His people to nationalism,
Americanism, or any other ism
other
than the Kingdom of God. We must all repent, humble ourselves as
children, deny ourselves, pick-up our cross and follow Jesus. We
cannot have two allegiances. We cannot carry the cross and a defiled
flag of a fallen nation. To do so is to violate our walk with the
Holy God and His Holy Son Jesus Christ the King of Kings and Lord of
Lords.
H. “H” for now HEAR This! This
is the call to repent. This is the call to humble yourselves before
the LORD. Seek Him. Seek meekness. Seek righteousness. That may be He
will hide you in the day of His wrath.
Zephaniah
2:3

Professing Christians And Grand Leaders In Religious Land That Join
False Teachers And False Gospels.
A.
This is the truth of what is actually happening in our day. Look at
it for what it is. Look and weep. Look and run. Run to the Lord.
Hide in Him.
B. Follow Jesus and not man.
C. Come
out. Come out. Come out. Come out unto the LORD and follow Him. Be
the true ecclesia, the called out ones of the Lord. His Church.
D.
Hold forth the Word of God and not a flag of a wicked disobedient,
arrogant nation that refuses to repent.
Phl
2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of
Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
E.
Do not follow the blind guides. Do not close your eyes to the truth
lest you fall into the same ditch as the blind leaders. The blind
guides that are hirelings that are con men ripping the masses off
with a taste of religious honey.
8.
Contrast Apostles Paul, Peter, John, James With Today's Modern
So-called Leaders.
A.
Seriously. Can you see the apostles partnershiping with the priests
of Apollo, Zeus or Baal for the sake of morality? Can you honestly
believe that they would join with the rabbis who murdered Jesus
without repenting for the sake of electing a new Caesar of Rome? That
is ridiculous. Yet, that is exactly what we have today on a very
large scale in America. Preachers, celebrity preachers, with
monstrous corporations as “ministries” or “churches”
that have joined arm in arm and stand side by side with Mormons,
rabbis, psychics, false teachers, false apostles and goofy prophets
that speak of visions of female angels, all joining together for the
honor of man as opposed to the honor of God.
B.
Syncretism.
DICTIONARY:
S y n c r e t i s m-- the attempted reconciliation or union of
different or opposing principles, practices, or parties, as in
philosophy or religion.
C.
We know for a fact that the apostles would never advocate such
patriotic-political enterprises even for seeming good moral issues at
the expense of the gospel of Jesus. No way.
D. The only way
this occurred is because those who are participating in these venues
have left their first love the Lord Jesus, and have tolerated evil
and compromise thus ruining their spirit and heart. They are not
offended or grieved any longer by evil and thus are very comfortable
to violate the Word of God. Do you see how this takes place? Take
heed. Be ware. Be careful. Keep your hearts with all diligence, for
out of it are the issues of life. Do not let the things of vanity
overtake your heart and thus become deceived as these deceivers.
E.
We are at the nearing of the coming of Jesus Christ and we ought be
very cautious with our conduct. We want to be found faithful and
worthy to escape the things that are coming to the earth as God
allows sin to increase, evil to escalate, and the Devil to exact his
will through the political and religious world. God is going to allow
a great lie and deception to swallow those who have not loved the
truth. Do you love the truth? Will you follow the truth regardless of
the ramifications? Will you be willing to stand for the truth when
the masses have fallen for the lie?
9.
God And
Country?
A.
In the name of Jesus Christ I rebuke those who proclaim this message
of “God and country”. This is a lie.
B. God is
God and He will not tolerate any other allegiance, alliance or love
other than Him. We cannot have two masters. We can not have two
gods.
C. God never taught us to serve God and
country.
D.
God never taught us to love God and
country.
E. Luk
4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan:
for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve
F.
To be a disciple of Jesus Christ demands TOTAL LOVE, ALLEGIANCE AND
OBEDIENCE to Jesus over all things, people or one's own life.
Luk
14:26 If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother,
and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own
life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luk 14:27 And whosoever doth not
bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. And, Luk
14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that
he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
G.
Fine line balance of the Word of God would teach us to love our
fellow man, honor authorities, obey the law, pay taxes, support the
weak and feeble and the like. But our final allegiance is always to
God and not man! Pray for your neighbors. Pray for your countrymen
and witness to them the testimony you have in Jesus Christ. Preach
the gospel. Minister the grace of God. But do not go the way of the
world and merge your spirit with those who are manufacturing a lie
and promote a facade of spirituality for the sake of votes. It is the
rich men that are using the undiscerning Christians. Be wise as a
serpent and harmless as a dove. Let your light shine in this wicked
world. But be ye not partners with them says the Lord.
10.
“Standing With Israel Without Jesus Christ And His Gospel?
(Christians
censored from the gospel and Jesus yet think they are showing support
to Israel by foolish means.)
A.
In recent days since Glenn Beck and his entourage of the religious
met in Jerusalem, I realized that these people falsely believed that
partnering with Beck meant that they were”standing with
Israel”.
B. How does compromising your walk with Jesus
and the Word of God show support and “standing with
Israel”?
C. How can one stand with Israel, so-called,
without Jesus? How can one stand with Israel without the gospel?
(I
believe it is illegal in Israel to preach Jesus Christ and promote
converts to the faith in Jesus away from Judaism.)
D. Consider
Paul the apostle and Peter how they 'stood with Israel' and showed
genuine love to Jerusalem's people by risking their lives in telling
them the truth of the gospel.
Act
2:22 ¶ Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a
man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified and slain: Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed
the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be
holden of it
11.
The DUPED.
A.
In recent days I have been so grieved how the religious masses have
been so poorly and inadequately learned in the scriptures.
B.
The majority of the professing Christian world is so ignorant
concerning the things that are Written in the Word of God the
scriptures.
C. This is against the admonition of the apostles.
We should not be ignorant brethren.
D. Many have fallen
already and are already on the track of heresy and error.
E.
We are to be steady and steadfast, firm unto the end. We are to be
girded and armed with righteousness. We are to be on guard and fully
armed with the armor of God. We are to be abiding in Christ and His
Word abiding in us. We are to be seeking Him, obedient to Him, loyal
to Him, serving Him. But Oh, O, O, this is so tragic, that how Jesus
asked if He would find faith in the earth when He returned...
Luk
18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when
the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
12.
The Error Of Compartmentalizing
Spirituality
And Other Aspects Of Life; Business, “Patriotism”,
Politics etc.
A.
The other day I was listening to an audio on Blog Talk Radio with a
professing Christian ministry that was discussing how the recent
revelation of acknowledgment that Jay Sekulow was an author of the
Patriot Act. The Christian commentator stated that Jay Sekulow was
not in league with the antichrist and that we as Christians should
separate what is “spiritual” from that which is
“patriotic”. I was so grieved by this false ideal.
B.
Ladies and gentlemen, as disciples of Jesus Christ there is NO SUCH
THING AS COMPARTMENTALISING our spiritual life from any other aspect
of life let alone, “patriotism”. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
C.
I believe this lady was sincere and is just sadly misinformed and
instructed on things pertaining to the Kingdom of God and I hope she
recovers herself from this error.
D. All things are spiritual.
Col
3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of
the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
E.
Do you see now how wrong it is for those called to be separate unto
God to stand in base temporal things such as politics in this day and
also, to partner with those of false gospels and different Jesus'?
F. Do not forget that in these last days God Himself is going
to allow the Kings of the earth to serve the Dragon the Devil and
fulfill his will in deceiving the nations. Do you really think that
God is having His flock vote and spend their time and resources
advancing such mythical ideals as politics is now promoting? No
way.
G. Please realize that those in authority and power in
this late hour are almost entirely given over to the evil one and
have been bought by the powers that be and the rich men. Consider the
lawless law makers that break the law and strengthen the hands of the
evil leaders of the land. This land has forsaken the LORD and Jesus
Christ the redeemer. The United States is a land of idols, arrogance,
and foolish lusts. It has been found guilty by God for its exporting
of filth to the entire world. God has drawn the line and the USA has
run past it to commit its evils. The line is crossed for America.
This nation is marked by God for judgment and now is the time to
repent as an individual and run to the covert of the LORD.
H.
Again, you will either stand with the LORD or fall with the nation.
Which shall it be. Choose you this day whom you will serve. God the
LORD and His Son Jesus Christ, or, your gods, Caesars and mythical
lifestyles?
13.
2Peter 2: Warning
To The World Of The Ungodly.
The
Message Not Declared In Religious Church Land.
A.
The
Strong language of 2Peter2: Warning to the World of the ungodly!
B.
Foolish gesting and proclamations of the religious. “God bless
Sodom and Gomorrah”. “God bless America”. These are
synonymous.
C. Sins of Sodom:
Eze
16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride,
fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her
daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Eze 16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me:
therefore I took them away as I saw [good].
D.
The only difference between Sodom and the United States of America is
that America has not yet been destroyed by fire.
E. The USA
has had the privilege of having the freely publication of the Word of
God for centuries yet has abandoned God's love and His salvation from
Jesus Christ for the most part.
F. How can any one properly
ask God to bless what is cursed? How can anyone ask God to bless an
unrepentant, arrogant and blasphemous nation as the United States?
There is something wrong with people that do this. They have not
known the holy Lord God Almighty who is absolutely so exalted and
holy.
G.
The nations of today are all being weighed in the balance by God.
Those nations who submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ will fair
far better through these days of holy judgment than those who refuse
to repent. Read Psalms 2 and understand.
Psalms
2:
H.
Psalms 2 shows how the Kings of the earth have set themselves up, and
the religious leaders have taken counsel together with them against
the LORD God and His Messiah King.
God
will have this iniquitous union of politics
and spiritualism
in
derision. Psalms 2:4-5
God will speak to this
confederacy of Rebel Government and Apostate Religion
and
vex them in His wrath! Psalms 2:5
God the Father will give the
heathen and the earth as a possession to His Son Jesus Christ.
King
Jesus Christ will rule with power and “break them with iron”.
He shall dash His opposers like broken pottery. Psalms 2:9
The
Lord is now commanding that the Kings, the political governors of the
world, and the “judges”, the spiritual leaders, that they
be “wise and instructed”. They should “serve the
Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling”. They should “Kiss
the Son lest they perish in the way when His wrath is kindled but a
little...”
The
blessing is for those who comply. “Blessed are they that put
their trust in Him”. Psalms 2:12
I.
It is a perplexity that this message is rarely heard in the earth
today. The churches are drunk on pseudo bible-ease.
It is a disease. How can the hireling “pastors” not warn
the wicked to flee from the wrath to come? How can they not warn the
pew sitters to learn of Jesus and follow Him? How can this be?
14.
Jesus' Personal Cost For Our Redemption.
A.
1Pe
2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that
we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose
stripes ye were healed.
B.
The above text is so rich in powerful language and truth that shows
us that when Jesus died for us as our Savior, it was a deep cost
whereas it was personally in Himself that He bore our sins—in
his own body! This is powerful language that the Spirit breathed to
refute much of the false gospel messages of today. Jesus did die for
our sins. He was buried in the grave for three days just as written.
And He did rise again by the power and glory of the Father. He is
alive today. He is reigning today. And He is revealing Himself to
those with eyes and ears to see and hear.
C. Look unto Jesus
the author and perfector of our faith. Look unto Him. Keep your focus
on the Lord that bought you with His own blood, in his own self, in
His own body. Thank-you Jesus.
Hebrews
12:1-2...Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher (perfector) of
our faith...

The Real Lord Is The Same LORD And Not A “New
and Improved Lord” Of Society.
A.
“I am the LORD. I change not.” Malachi 3:6 The blessing
and confidence we may have in a changeless God.
B. Those who
desire a changing god prove they do not know God. (People that go
from mountain to hill looking for something “new”)
C.
God is not like a car that has an annual new version.
D. God
is not like a computer that needs an update.
E. God is not
like silly fads that go from spots to stripes in fashion.
F.
God does
provide
new fresh blessings and mercies from day to day however. He offers
fresh “manna” of His Word as daily bread.
G. The
real God dwells in light that no man can approach, see or touch. He
is exalted and magnificent. 1Ti
6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man
can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be]
honour and power everlasting. Amen.
H.
God has humbled Himself to behold the base things pertaining to man
because He is love.
I. God deserves to be feared and
loved.
J. God is not a silly person like carnal man.
K.
Jesus Christ has revealed the invisible God the Father. Jhn
1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which
is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
L.
God has not left us alone as orphans when Jesus rose to the heavenly
throne. God has sent the Holy Spirit to those who believe and obey
Him.
2.
The Holy Spirit Is Holy And A Gift To The Heirs Of Salvation.
A.
The Holy Spirit does not speak of Himself. Jhn
16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever
he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to
come. Jhn 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew [it] unto you.
B.
The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus Christ.
C. The Holy Spirit
is in harmony with the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word agree and
there is no contradiction.
3.
The False Religious Order Submits Totally To Caesar And Not God.
A.
Again, as the religious system of the rabbinic Judaism that murdered
the Just One Jesus Christ, the religious systems of today are not
submitted to God for the most part.
B. The elders, priests,
scribes and Pharisees during the earthly ministry of Jesus declared
they had “no king but Caesar”. Jhn
19:15 But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify
him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief
priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
C.
“Caesar” is a title as “king”, “lord”,
“christ” and so on. There were many “Caesars”.
D. Caesars act as a king in the earth over an empire or
kingdom.
E. They are an instead of ruler that replaces God's
ideal for a king for men—the Lord Jesus Christ.
F. The
last days empire of the Beast will offer the world a “Caesar”.
He will be an antichrist.
G. This is important to perceive
and understand that those who submit themselves to God have only one
Lord and King. You cannot have two masters. You will love one and
hate the other, or hold to one and reject the other. Choose
your Master: Only One Master
H.
Those of the Beast Empire in the last days that take the mark of the
beast will suffer a great punishment before God and the angels. Why?
Because it is a great act of rebellion that culminates the rebellion
in the earth since the fall of man in the garden. Greater rebellion
than that in original Babylon, greater rebellion through the various
world empires of Egypt,Babylon, Greece and Rome.
I. Today
there is a world empire and there is also a world government. We are
at the time when the Beast System that reigns in the earth for 42
months will transpire. Can you see it? While there is still national
sovereignty of various nations in the earth, there is a manifested
trend to eliminate these ideals for a one world order that some call
a “new world order”. It is often spoken about today by
news agents or agencies as “global governance”.
Dictionary
Definition of "AGENTS" a person or business authorized to
act on another's behalf
J.
The important thing for true believers in Jesus Christ is to
recognize the emergence of these things and realize the nearness of
the coming of Jesus and fulfillment of all things written in
scripture. Praise God.
K. The fact is that those who do not
truly submit to the lordship of Jesus Christ are ripe for being
swallowed up by the antichrist system. Even as the Pharisees, scribes
and elders of Israel declared that they had no king but Caesar! Woe.
Woe, woe woe.
4.
“Buzz Words”. The Language Of The Deceiving Deceivers Of
Religious Land. Look out!
A.
The Lord is warning us that we must be discerning. It will come to
pass that two men will stand on a podium declaring a message that may
even be the same words yet one is an antichrist.
B. We are
seeing the spread of many false prophets that may sound true but have
several tell tale signs for the discerning.
C. I have heard
audio presentations with true things that had the buzz words of
'repentance' and even talk of Jesus.
D. God has warned us
about Jannes and Jambres who withstood Moses before Pharaoh King of
Egypt.
2Tim
3:8 Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses:
God had sent Moses to
declare His Word and show a sign of Moses being sent by the True God.
God was telling Pharaoh to 'let My people go'. Moses through down his
staff as directed by the LORD and it became a serpent. The mystic
priests of Egypt, Jannes and Jambres, did the same and turned their
staffs into serpents also. Praise God that the sign Moses was
performing swallowed up the false wonders of Jannes and Jambres. The
point is that in the last days we will see great signs and lying
wonders performed by false prophets.
E. Many times the false
prophets promote a false god or gospel. Sometimes they do not.
F.
You must understand what makes a false prophet false. You must
understand what makes a true prophet true.
G. The false
prophets speak always with the end goal as the motive and thus will
lie in wait to deceive through their cunning craftiness. They
may use buzz words in order to sound like the authentic ministry of
the LORD. Do
not believe every spirit but try the spirits to see if they are of
God.
H. Today, many know that repentance is a key demand that
God is speaking and thus they throw this in to their repertoire. Just
because you hear about the need for repentance do not assume they are
speaking on behalf of God. This is a very important exhortation on
watching out for buzz words.
I. It is very odd indeed, that
in the church land, it is rare to hear about repentance. The church
world is so fallen and worldly today it does not largely look for the
coming of Jesus nor desire Him. They do not speak the truth about
being holy in Christ. They do not warn the wicked to turn from his
evil ways as admonished by the Word of God. So, you may not hear
about repentance in the churches in the land but you may hear about
this in the alternative media such as the internet and shortwave
audio.
5.
What Makes A Leader A Leader Of God?
A.
My concern here is that many make decisions or judgment whether a
speaker is of God or not based on carnal means and not from spiritual
discernment from God.
B. Many times people hold to a speaker
based on how large or influential the listening audience has become.
People too often falsely believe because a person is one of the most
listened to radio personalities that makes them an authentic voice
from God. Not so! Not so! Not so!
C.
A true Leader that the LORD sends is like the LORD. A true leader is
meek, humble and like Jesus Christ. They are not full of themselves,
they have crucified themselves, and allow the life of Christ to be
made manifest through all they do whether in word or deed.
A
real leader from the Lord speaks from
the
Lord.
A true leader of the Lord speaks of
the
Lord.
A true leader leads to
the
Lord.
D.
In recent days, I have listened to an audio presentation of two men
that profess faith in Christ, both report to be “watchmen”,
yet, in an hour's time the name of Jesus was not mentioned once. Nor
the gospel of Jesus. And, there was not one scripture referenced by
either man. I am not saying these men are not believers in Jesus
Christ but I am saying that this is wrong. I am also saying that both
of these men, if they do not make amends of these ways will both
become false in due time.
E. How is it possible to be a
watchman of the Lord and not speak of the Lord?
F. I believe
that in this example I have mentioned above it proves that these men
believe they have something more important than Jesus, the gospel and
of course the Word of God. Yet, I would dare say that they are
wrong.
G. I pray I never speak on a radio program or speak to
a people without mentioning the Lord, my Lord Jesus, and I pray I
never lose sight of the reason I would speak would be to lead people
to the infallibility of the Word of God and the gospel which can save
those who believe to the uttermost.
H. True leaders are
servants. Like Jesus, they serve the needs of others and are not
self-seeking using the Lord for their own business affairs and
agendas.
I.
A very important text by Jesus on how to discern a true ministry
versus a false one:
Jhn
7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that
seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no
unrighteousness is in him.
6.
Proof Text That Jesus Christ's Coming Is NOT A Secret Coming As In A
“Secret Rapture”.
A.
2Thessalonians
1: 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming
fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the
glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his
saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our
testimony among you was believed) in that day
B.
Jesus Christ will be revealed from heaven accompanied with the glory
of the Father and the holy angels.
C. Note that the Lord comes
to punish and bring destruction to His enemies. All of this takes
place when Jesus comes to be glorified
in
His saints and admired
in
them that believe.
D. Rev
1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and
they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall
wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

“Quiet
On The Set.” The Movie Makers. Smoke and Mirrors and the
Illusions of the Deluded.
A.
Today as I viewed on a monitor the scene in Libya I noted how the
powers-that-be are literally in the movie making field. We have so
much documentation now how the CIA and military of the USA use the
media for effecting thought on the populace. Some would call this
brainwashing.
B. I have documented in THEMES FOR THE WEEK
“fake stories” by those in power and influence.
C.
There was a movie years ago called “Wag The Dog” which
depicted the agencies making a fake news report on a set to distract
the people from a scandal in Washington DC and the office of the
president.
Wag
the Dog Links:
D.
Today, August 24, 2011 as reported on CNN there were depictions “on
the set” live on scene with banners “TV”, with
cameras, newsmen and actors depicting a political uprising and
insurrection from the powers of the empire to uproot the leader of a
sovereign nation.
Live
from the scene, lights, cameras, action...
E. Yes, there
should be authentic news reporting. But we need to understand that
these things are being slanted to create a mythical story to gain
support of the public opinion. The masses of people are like a herd
of cattle undiscerning, believing and grazing upon whatever is lies
before them. We should not be this way and we must be able to rightly
discern and understand, perceive in wisdom that only the Lord can
give us, that these days are evil and it will culminate in a very
wicked manner before the Lord returns.
F. What people do not
largely perceive is how a renegade empire regime is banding together
with other rogue nations conquering and deposing world leaders to
foster their desired new world order of global governance of the
BEAST.
G. We have apostate religious leaders banding together
with other people of notoriety that are heretical false gospel
promoters, but for the sake of promoting a political effort
compromise the standard of the Word of God for separation and purity
from things of this world and lies. It is very grieving to note how
professing Christian leaders are merging with Glenn Beck, a Mormon,
who believes God was once a man who became God; and, that Mormons
will become gods themselves, stand side by side for the sake of
Americanism. This is so ridiculous. It is a bad movie with a bad
ending for those playing this hypocritical part.
8.
True Ministers And True Ministry.
A.
Jesus our example.
Jhn
12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Jhn
8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent
me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard
of him.
Jhn
8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father
B.
Apostle John: The Revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave Him, He
sent it by an angel and the angel gave it to John. John was told to
write what he heard and saw...
Rev
1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What
thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches
which are in Asia …
and
note this:
1Jo
1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye
also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with
the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1Jo 1:4 And these things
write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
a.
This
is very important. We can observe here that
apostolic
prophetic ministry of the Lord comes out of a direct revelation and
influence from God Himself through the Holy Spirit.
We
as servants of the Lord relay what we have seen and heard from the
Lord. The converse is true also! If we have not seen or heard from
the LORD then we have nothing!
b.
And
this is why so many have gone forth in the world speaking empty words
that cannot profit because they have gone not in the name of Jesus,
or if they do, and have not heard from Him they cannot speak from Him
either. This is what largely constitutes religious jargon that makes
the airwaves today on TV and radio and the masses have fallen sway to
it.
C.
In reality, all believers in Jesus Christ are ministers. We are all
to minister the Word of God and share our testimony about Jesus.
D.
And, there are others who are called to be declarers, heralders and
proclaimers of the Word of God as ministries of Jesus Christ. Paul
said he was called to be a preacher of the gospel. The word preacher
is a proclaimer with the authority to speak from the Lord.
1Ti
2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the
truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith
and verity.
And,
2Ti
1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a
teacher of the Gentiles
E.
“Preacher”
means a
herald or messenger vested with public authority, who conveyed the
official messages of kings, magistrates, princes, military
commanders, or who gave a public summons or demand, and performed
various other duties. In the NT God's ambassador, and the herald or
proclaimer of the divine word.
F.
This is why one can note the difference from one person speaking
religious talk and discern another speaking in the authority of the
LORD.
This is one thing the religious leaders in Jesus' day
noticed about Him that Jesus spoke with authority and not as the
scribes.
Mat
7:29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the
scribes.
G.
Authority comes only through submission. Those not in submission have
no authority.
Mat
8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I
say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he
cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it]. Mat 8:10 When
Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that followed,
Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in
Israel.
Jhn
5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have life in himself; Jhn 5:27 And hath given him authority to
execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Jhn 5:28 Marvel
not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the
graves shall hear his voice, Jhn 5:29 And shall come forth; they that
have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have
done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Jhn 5:30 I can of mine
own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just;
because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which
hath sent me

Eminent Civilization Change: Worldwide Emerging Last Day's Empire Of
The BEAST
Revelation
13: Apostle John's Vision of the BEAST and the Last Day's World
Empire
A.
At this time in history, we are on the cusp of a major unprecedented
change of civilization.
B. A deliberate plan is underway to
implement change in world government, life among the nations,
economic systems, social, spiritual and religious ideals.
C. A
covert cabal consisting of the “rich men” of the world;
political governmental leaders; corporations, leaders of social
influence, educators, and religious leaders gone astray from Jesus
Christ that are dedicated to the will of the devil in implementing
the New World Order which is described as the Beast in scripture.
D.
The global economic crisis is evidence of this plan to bring a one
world economy governed by these leaders.
E. Expect a world war
soon. The Second Seal of the book of Revelation describes the rider
on the red horse which is given a mighty sword bringing death. This
is in response to the First Seal which speaks of the rider on the
white horse. The rider on the white horse goes forth conquering and
to conquer.
F. Which country is the most powerful nation in
the world and has massive foreign military bases occupying other
nations across the world?
G. The Middle East is experiencing
aspects of an uprising which is fostered by this secret desire for a
one world government. The upheaval across the Middle Eastern nations
is similar to the ancient empires of Greece and Rome that went forth
conquering in the name of “democracy”.
H. It is
important to have understanding of what is taking place and stay
submitted to the Lord in His Kingdom. God is allowing these things to
come to pass and has indeed put it in their hearts to fulfill His
will. Do not resist the Lord and do not focus on the temporal things
of this world that will soon pass away.
I. It is surely verily
coming to pass just as the scriptures have outlined. God's Word is
true. We are currently seeing the implementation of last details of
the precursor to the Beast Empire.
J. Most people have no idea
how their lives will be completely changed. The culture, the way
business is conducted, the governmental structures, the laws, the
liberties, religious and social structures, all of these things are
going to be completely changed on a global basis.
K. There
will be no tolerance to opposition to this One World Order.
Opposition will be crushed. Fear and pressure will be mounting and
those who do not understand will band together against the LORD God,
His Son Jesus Christ, and His followers!
L. We are seeing the
emerging fulfillment of Psalms 2 and many other texts which
demonstrate the greatest rebellion against God. We are seeing the
emerging of a Babylonian rebellion of man that will seek to lift
themselves up above God and as God.
M. Propaganda, media,
music, education, religious themes will all promote the New World
Government and its religion.
N. Since God Almighty will be
resisting these plans with great catastrophic judgments, there will
be great anger and hatred resisting authentic servants of the Lord.
The true gospel will be despised and made largely unlawful in the
courts of man. It will not be lawful to speak in the name of Jesus.
It will not be allowed to speak the truth. There will be great
pressure to conform to this new governmental world civilization. It
is the “old idea” that Senior president George Bush spoke
about when he mentioned the “New World Order”. This old
idea is an occultic one that has been in the earth with Babylon and
the other world empires in history. The prophet Daniel spoke of the
revelation of God and the emerging kingdom empires of the world. We
are now about to see the formation of the last empire kingdom of the
world known as the Beast.
O. There is no stopping this great
change. It is in God's will to fulfill His Word.
P. When we
see these things all coming to pass we are to realize that the end is
near and even at the door.
Mat
24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that
it is near, [even] at the doors.

The End Is Not Yet: First...
Mat
24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be
not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end
is not yet. Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences,
and earthquakes, in divers places. Mat 24:8 All these [are] the
beginning of sorrows
A.
The End is not yet.
B. We shall indeed hear of wars. We shall
also hear of rumors of wars. All of these things must come to pass
according to Jesus.
C. There shall be great global distress
and calamity. Kingdom against kingdom. Nation against nation with
famines, pestilence and earthquakes in various places. Consider all
the emotion and ramifications of such things that result from food
shortages and great amounts of people dying and being deathly ill due
to the plagues and pestilences. Magnificent destructive quakes that
shall shake the land and all of its infrastructure. We have already
seen such great quakes in the last handful of years. Remember
Indonesia, New Zealand, Chile, Haiti, Japan and many more!

“Be Ye Strong: Strong In Faith, Knowledge Of Christ, Strong In
The LORD.”
A.
"Be
strong" links in scripture: Eph 6:10 ¶ Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
B.
Mar
13:13 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he
that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mat 24:13
But 1161 he that shall endure 5278 unto 1519 the end 5056, the same
3778 shall be saved 4982.
C.
Rev
12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word
of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
D.
2Pe
3:18 But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.
E.
The admonition of the Lord in this hour is that we must have faith in
the Lord. We must. We can not please God without faith. Faith was so
misused and improperly taught since the 1960's by the Word of Faith
movement. Nevertheless, we must have faith. Not a pseudo faith or a
“faith” that 'names it and claims it' by rote formulas.
We are not to use God like some idol or Geannie.
F. All truth
is a fine line truth. Remember that anything distorted to the left or
right is error. The Word of Faith movement degenerated into a Science
of Mind Cult. It degenerated the principles of God into fleshly
self-centered lustful modes of getting one's flesh satisfied. It
became vain as the masses used the principles of faith for whimsical
desires. Again, the Lord is bringing us into maturity and purity and
we must have authentic faith in the Lord. There is nothing impossible
with God. And, all things are possible with God. As these Last Days
manifest upon us, we must realize that it is God who is our all in
all. He is our total sufficiency. He is our Savior, Healer, Provider,
Deliverer, Teacher, Lord, God, friend, Comforter, Helper, anything we
need and godly desire, according to His will, God is our
supplier.
G. Believe God. Abraham, the father of faith is our
example as it is written:
Rom
4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was
strong in faith, giving glory to God; Rom 4:21 And being fully
persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Rom 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Rom
4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed
to him; Rom 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we
believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Rom 4:25
Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our
justification.
4.
“K
R I N O”.
Current Condemnation For Refusing To Believe and Choosing Rather
UN-BELIEF.
(“krino”
is the Greek word translated into English as “condemnation”
or condemned.)
A.
The truth is that there is a condemnation now already at work for
those who do
not believe.
John
3:17-18 and vs 36 Jhn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Jhn
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God. Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than
light, because their deeds were evil. and vs 36 Jhn 3:36 He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
B.
Those who do not believe shall not see life and the wrath of God
abides on them. Herein is the severity and the desperate state of
unbelievers though they do not perceive it.
C. So when you
minister the Word of God to people, realize the miracle that is being
offered to the hearers. You are offering through the name of Jesus
and His gospel life for death, forgiveness for death penalty, eternal
life for death. Consider all the wonderful things that God offers
through His Son Jesus.
D. Those who do not believe in Jesus
Christ are currently in a state of “krino” condemnation
and do not see life according to John 3: 17-18 and verse 36. It is
also stated that they have the wrath of God abiding on them.
E.
How desperate of a fallen condition it is to be an unbeliever: Eph
2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:
5.
“It Is Finished”.
Jesus'
awesome profound accomplishment through His total submission unto the
Father.
A.
Jhn
19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
B.
Consider that Jesus made this proclamation of “it is finished”
at the conclusion of His earthly ministry. The will of the Father was
done. Mission accomplished! Jesus endured the shame of the cross
though despising the shame. He endured this for our sakes, those who
believe on His name.
Hbr
12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who
for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the
shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
C.
This is Jesus our example and life.
1Pe
2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered
for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps
6.
You Must Trust The LORD.
A.
Trust
the LORD. Links in scripture. Psa 115:11 Ye that fear 3373 the LORD
3068, trust 982 in the LORD 3068: he [is] their help 5828 and their
shield 4043
Totally
surrender, compliance, yielding, obedience, confidence from your
heart.
B.
In the last days, there are those who trust the Lord and those who do
not:
Psa
2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that
put their trust in him.
7.
“Caution: You Are Under Construction. God is Not Finished With
You Yet!” Hands
off.
A.
Psa
138:8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O
LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
B.
Phl
1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a
good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
C.
Rom
8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be]
conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn
among many brethren.
D.
Eph
2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
8.
Approved By God.
A.
Act
2:22 ¶ Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a
man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
B.
All that matters is that we are approved by God.
C. We are
not to seek the approval of man. Be
not menpleasers but be servants of Christ.
D.
Our
allegiance! 1Cr 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the
servants of men.

“Where's The Beef?” Prove It. Fruit, Evidence and
Indicators Of Genuine-real Faith.

whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out

Satan Knows A Lot About God.
A.
Satan is an expert in the things of God.
Job
1:6... Job 1:6 ¶ Now there was a day when the sons of God came
to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among
them.
B.
Satan's offspring, children that are just like him, a liar, thief and
murder, often know a lot about God.
John
8: Jhn 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him,...
Jhn 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh
a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of
it.
C.
Satan is bold enough to quote the Word of God to Jesus
Christ.
Matthew
4: Jesus being tempted by the devil in the wilderness: Satan the
devil quoting scripture with deceitful errors...
D.
Alert! False prophets and apostles appear
as
“ministers of righteousness” even as Satan transforms
himself as an angel of light.
2Cor
11:13-15 2Cr 11:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 2Cr 11:14 And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2Cr
11:15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be
according to their works.
E.
Many professing “ministers” and radio personalities know
a lot about God but deny Him by their character, message, and
desires.
Mat
7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mat
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works Mat 7:23 And then will I profess
unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
F.
Be discerning.
Mat
24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you.
2.
Cow or Sheep? Herd or Flock?
Jesus
is the Shepherd Over The Flock Of God The True Sheep.
The Sheep
Of The Shepherd VS Cows Of The Herd Of Lost Humanity.
A.
The Lord makes a distinction between the cattle, the herd and the
sheep.
Read
Context: God is judging between the lean ones and the abusive "fat"
ones that dominated and stole from His people...
Mat
25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep
from the goats: Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right
hand, but the goats on the left.
B.
The Lord is dividing.
Religion
vs Disciple: The Lord divides and makes a distinction. Mar 13:9 But
take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils;
and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought
before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
C.
Religious
Business is
in for a rude awakening.
Jer
7:11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of
robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen [it], saith the LORD.
Jer 7:12 ¶ But go ye now unto my place which [was] in Shiloh,
where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the
wickedness of my people Israel.
D.
Oblivious herd of cows grazing on the things of the world stepping
off the cliff of oblivion soon.
"Kine"
are cows. Amos 4: The people of God as cows willingly ignorant of
God's acts of judgment.
E.
Humble sheep follow the voice of their Shepherd—Jesus
Christ.
Jhn
10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me
F.
The Lord knows His own.
Jhn
10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of
mine.
G.
The Lord knows not those who are not of Him. “Who are you?”
Mat
25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you
not.
3.
Faith In The “Operation Of God”.
Col
2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him]
through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from
the dead. Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him,
having forgiven you all trespasses; Col 2:14 Blotting out the
handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to
us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
A.
Basic bare root essentials of the true gospel and message of
God.
Colossians 2; Hebrews 10; Ephesians 3; John 15; 1Corinthians
15; 1Peter 1; 2Pe
1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
B.
Foreign language to the religious culture yet basic to the
scriptures.
Isa
8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to
this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them. The
degenerated religious culture has wandered far from the scriptures
and now sound teaching sounds foreign.
C.
Gospel “recreated”?
Now we have foolish men seeking to
recreate the gospel and “make it relevant to the world”.
They deny the very words of Jesus even as Rob Bell that questions the
veracity of “hell”, and others seeking to make a “seeker
friendly” religious culture that mirrors the world.
D.
'Foolish weak gospel' is the message that is wise and strong to save
those seeking the Lord.
True
Real Gospel Proclamation according to Paul the apostle that seems
weak to the "strong", and "foolish" to those that
in vain think they are wise. 1Cr 1:18 ¶ For the preaching of the
cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved
it is the power of God.
1Cr
1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not
God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that
believe. 1Cr 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 1Cr 1:24 But unto
them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God,
and the wisdom of God. 1Cr 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is
wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men
4.
“Emulate”. What Do You Emulate?
(Reflect,
mirror, project, evince, demonstrate, reveal, radiate, issue, beam,
exude)
A.
People emulate what they focus upon and desire.
B. What do
you admire?
C. “Looking unto Jesus...” Hbr
12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who
for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the
shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
D.
“Beholding Him and being transformed into the same
image...”
2Cr
3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of
the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even]
as by the Spirit of the Lord.
E.
“Like Father like son”.
F. Jesus the image of God
the Father who is invisible.
Hbr
1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of
his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when
he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high;
Col
1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every
creature:
G.
“If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.”
Jhn
14:7 ¶ If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
H.
Who did Jesus emulate, reflect, mirror, project, demonstrate and
reveal?
I. Who and what should professing believers in Jesus
emulate?
J. What image are we to reflect?
K. “K”
for kooky clones of religion.
1. Do not be a clone created in the
petri dish of religion.
2. Fathers procreate through
relationship. Mad scientists create monsters in sterile environments.
God the Father is bringing forth sons and daughters through faith in
His Son Jesus. While the religious world is bringing forth clones of
themselves—evil godless unregenerated humanoids depraved, twice
dead, clouds without water, no fruit, no spirit, empty lifeless
without God in this world. Regarding the faith, unregenerate
reprobate, useless.
L. Born again, born from above, renewed,
changed, transformed, recreated, washed, regenerated by the Holy
Spirit.
M. “M” for miserable degenerated
'planting' among the religious ones.
The
Vineyard: Isaiah's message from God concerning the corrupted
degenerated planting of the LORD. Isaiah 5: Isa 5:2 And he fenced it,
and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest
vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress
therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it
brought forth wild grapes.

STEALTH
Ministers
Of Satan The Tare Planter.
Jud
1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of
old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of
our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our
Lord Jesus Christ.
A.
Beware! Watch out. Look out. Be watching. Be on guard. Take Heed.
B.
Avoid, turn away, refuse, cut off the false brethren.
Rom
16:17 ¶ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause
divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have
learned; and avoid them.
2Ti
3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from
such turn away.
Exhort:
Separate from the ungodly professing "Christian"
Fornicators, idolaters, covetous, railers, drunkards, or
extortioners...No, not even to eat with them. Admonish them as a
brother so they may be ashamed and repent.
NOTE:
Jesus rebuked the erring religious system in Matthew 23 for ripping
off widow's houses, appearing righteous as a whited sepulcher yet
being filled with dead man’s bones and EXTORTION.

belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the
simple

Radar watch by the Spirit and Word of God through a pure sincere
heart that fears and loves the Lord.
Keep your heart pure and
sincere before the Lord. He will not allow you to be led astray. But
if you do not keep your heart, you are vulnerable and prone to be led
astray.

Program(s) Can Not Change Or Save.
A.
The Law of Moses could not save or change people.
B. Programs
created by the mind's of men can not effect change.
C. Only
God can change an individual or group.
D. Change comes by
beholding the Lord. Change comes by “circumcision” or
cutting away of the flesh through the Spirit. The flesh is a nature.
Cut off the flesh and put on the “new man” that is
created in Christ Jesus.
E. God changes people from the
inside out.
F. “Psa
51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.
G.
Understand from the heart.
There are many religious people that
have great head knowledge of the scriptures. When people honor God
with the mouth and give Him lip service while their hearts are not
right with God, they have gone into error. They spiritually become
blind and unable to see or perceive. The Word of God becomes closed
as a book that is sealed. Isaiah
29:10-13.
The
Lord Himself taught that people must listen with open hearts.
According to the degree that a person hears is the degree that they
are given from above to understand. Mark
4: Jesus' dissertation on the dynamics of hearing, revelation and
understanding. Mar 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye
hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and
unto you that hear shall more be given.

“Wine Gets Better With Age”. While, Rotten Fruit
Degenerates Worse And Worse.
A.
Be not drunk with wine wherein is excess but be filled with the
Spirit. Eph
5:18 (An analogy from the Lord in scripture)
B.
Those in Christ grow in grace and knowledge of the Savior Jesus. They
grow in their transformed life in Christ and are evident by the fruit
they bare that they are indeed the planting of the LORD.
C.
God is not looking for head knowledge religious people.
D. God
is looking for sons and daughters that are born from Him and exhibit
godly fruit and shine as lights in the midst of a crooked and
perverse nation.
E. Religion is corrupt. Religion is as bad,
very bad rotten figs. Religion degenerates. Whereas where believers
abide in Christ and His Word abides in them there is godly precious
fruit in the earth. Apostate
Israel and Judah likened to a basket of rotten figs uneatable but
rejected by God. Judgment was to remove the evil from the earth.
Jeremiah 24
F. Kingdom Focused versus Church Focused.
a.
I asked a Korean Churchgoer yesterday if she believed that Jesus was
coming back soon? She said she did not know. She then asked me if I
was a believer and I said yes. She then asked me what church I go to.
I told her I did not 'go to a church' but I have fellowship with
believers. She then cut me off in spirit and departed thus leaving a
very grieving atmosphere.
b. I thought about what had
transpired. But I realized, I had asked her if she believed Jesus was
returning soon and she did not know(?). I realized that one that
knows Jesus personally knows that He indeed is coming back soon, and
secondly, if one knew the scriptures regarding the signs of the
coming of Jesus they would indeed know that the coming of the Lord is
nigh. Yeah, He is standing at the door!
c. Again, I believe
this illustrates an example of a church person rather than a person
who loves Jesus. Cultural Christianity has swallowed up the lives of
too many and they have lost their first love. They do not look for
the Lord and do not have the desire to be found ready, waiting and
faithful.
The Lord is coming like a thief. If the owner of the
home knew when his house would be robbed, Jesus said, that 'master'
of the house would be watching and waiting to catch the surprise
burglar. So too should we be watching, on alert, prayerful, obedient
in our stewardship of life because the Lord will come in an hour that
we think not. They will be eating, drinking, marrying, building and
planting at the time Jesus suddenly comes with the voice of the
archangel and the blast of the trumpet.
G. 2Ti
3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving,
and being deceived.

Joel Osteen Said That Hindus In India Love God. (Interview with Glenn
Beck--2009)
A.
How is it possible for someone who says they know God to say such
lies?
B. There is but One True God.
C. There is no
other God but the
God.
D.
True ministers speak in harmony with God's Words.
E. God's
Word Is the standard.
F. What saith the scriptures?
G.
Who cares what man says?
H. Who cares what God says? Few do.
Do you?
I. “I” Care: 2Cr
4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 2Cr
4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Hindus
are polytheistic which means they worship an innumerable amount of
deities which are not deities but demons. Any and all religions that
do not believe on the one and only name that can save, Jesus Christ,
remain in need of the truth of the gospel. God is not willing that
any perish but all come into the knowledge of the truth. Jesus is the
truth. He is the way, the truth and the life, and no man can come
unto the Father except by Him. John
14:6
J. “J” for Joel Osteen. Joel Osteen is
one of the world's most popular “Christian” leaders. Yet,
he is a very important example of a fallen man with a faulty gospel.
Jesus warned, Luk
6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did
their fathers to the false prophets.

The Eyes, The Ears, The Heart. Elements Of Understanding Or Not
Understanding.
(One of the most important warnings necessary)
A.
Jesus warned about those that are “dull of hearing”.
Mat
13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are
dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time
they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and
should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I
should heal them.
B.
Jesus warned about those that are of a “slow heart” to
believe the words spoken by the prophets of scripture.
Luk
24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe
all that the prophets have spoken
C.
Hardened to the Word?
Deceived
hearts, hard hearts, unbelieving hearts, divided hearts, worldly
lustful hearts, selfish hearts, open hearts for the Word of
God...Matthew 13: Parable of the Sower and the Seed
D.
The Word not received by the callous ground of the hardened hearts of
humanity.
1Cr
2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them],
because they are spiritually discerned.
E.
The revelation of the Word. The illumination of the Spirit in the
Word through the tender pliable sincere hearts of the submitted ones
in Christ.
h
1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of
him: Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that
ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of
the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
F.
Perceive and understand or not(?).
Mat
13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith,
By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye
shall see, and shall not perceive: Mat 13:15 For this people's heart
is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes
they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes,
and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart,
and should be converted, and I should heal them.

EXPOSURE Is Under Way By God.
A.
The LORD said He would expose the truth about the wickedness going on
behind closed doors. Whether secular or “spiritual”, God
is exposing the truth. Ephesians
5:11-13 Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather reprove [them]. Eph 5:12 For it is a shame even
to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. Eph 5:13
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for
whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
B.
Obama is being exposed. The president of the United States of America
is being exposed on many fronts by sound professional people with
great document-able evidence and testimony.
Google
Search: obama being exposed fraudulent birth certificate
C.
The paradox is that God is exposing the truth that His people who are
abiding in Him will know the truth and not believe a lie. Yet,
those not in proper relationship with Him are generally not receiving
the truth of the exposure and still maintain the myths of the
liars.
D.
Exposure is underway but not all will be able to benefit from the
exposure. Those appointed to believe lies will go on as oblivious
blind men and walk off the cliff into oblivion while those who love
the truth and are of the truth will be warned by the voice of the
exposures.
According to various testimonies:
1. Obama was
issued a social security number that was originally from a man living
in the 1800's from another state other than Hawaii which is contrary
to protocol.
2. The birth certificate provided by Federal
Authorities is a fraudulent fake created by a novice Adobe Software
user. Also, there are indications the perpetrators of the fake birth
certificate were unfamiliar with the government forms and technology
of the 1960's. Several fonts are used in the fake document, key
signature of the Secretary of the Treasurer of Hawaii is misspelled
and contains a 'smiley face'.
3. There seems to be no
collaborating evidence from those who would have known Obama from his
work or education history. No one seems to have known him during his
time working or going to college. He appears to be a created
individual for certain specific duties of an agenda that is now
underway.
4. Oddly, law agencies and governing offices such as the
Senate and Congress do not seem to field these concerns, evidence or
testimony. Though blatant foundational laws of the USA are apparently
violated, the law makers are lawless law breakers, thus reflecting
the lawless culture for the most part.
All
of this is proof that we are in times of lawlessness and renegade
regimes that are not loyal to national ideals or laws but are
committed to secret conspiratorial agendas that are globalist. We
must remember that God is the One that puts it into the hearts of
evil men to commit their evil deeds in order to bring the culmination
of this Age.
I hereby warn again in the name of Jesus Christ
that those who deem themselves as “ministers” of God are
not to promote a nationalistic message as “saving America”,
or, “restoring a Constitutional America” and the like.
These messages are not originating form the Spirit of God and are
foreign to the texts of scripture. These things will surely come to
pass as God has chosen. We that are in Christ are to be submitted to
the Kingdom of God and its Lord, Jesus Christ, and be about our
Father's business which is proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom of
God.
It is a heretical carnal worldly message to preach “God
and country” and is highly questionable to its motives. I
believe that those who preach this on the airwaves are doing so for
monetary reasons and not for the sake of the gospel.
Again,
God has given evil leaders for an evil unrepented people. It is a
match deserving of itself a real perfect match!
Therefore,
repent and believe the gospel. Have your focus on things above and
not on things of this passing age. But, disciples of Christ can look
up and rejoice for these things that are transpiring in our world for
they are evidence of the nearness of the coming of the Lord!

Jeremiah 9 And The Status Report From The Spirit of God.
A.
Jeremiah
9 The Living Word of God for our day!
B.
Jeremiah 9 describes the spiritual societal state of the religious
people during the ministry of the prophet Jeremiah.
C. The
priests, the prophets and the people had forsaken the fountain of
Living Waters and hewed out broken cisterns that could contain no
'water'. Spiritual water that is! They had a form of godliness but
were in reality ungodly. They worshiped God and worshiped other gods.
They proclaimed to love the only God but really served their own base
vain lusts.
D. The people for the most part had refused God's
voice to return to Him. They refused the true message of God and
chose rather the vain words of men that strengthened them in their
evil ways. Just like today.
E. The witness of Jeremiah through
the Holy Spirit is that the people were adulterers, unfaithful
covenant breakers sneaking around to commit their sins. They were
treacherous dangerous people who would kill on a whim.
F. They
used their tongues as an archer that shoots arrows at targets. They
disregard what is true and promote lies instead. The masses did not
know the LORD.
G. From evil to evil they go from sunrise to
sundown. Deceit and fraud are the foundation of the land.
This
is the living word of God today. Hear the voice of the LORD.
For
God spared not His own people, historical Israel and Judah that had
gone a whoring from Him, how much more will God judge any nation that
arrogantly proceeds from evil to evil in the caste of religiosity?
God has recorded His Word. We have the record of scripture today and
the conviction of the Holy Spirit gone forth to convict men of
unrighteousness. God does not change.
God has said, “Shall
I not avenge Myself of a nation as this?” “Shall I not
visit for these things?”, says the LORD.
The people have
forsaken My ways and chosen vanities instead. They have gone after
false gods and are captive by them. Yet they do not call on Me. This
is a time when the LORD is burning the land by His judgments. There
shall be a bitter cry in the land. Woe woe woe.
The LORD is
asking, “Who is wise among you? Who has understanding? The
mouth of the LORD is speaking today. Who shall not hear and fear?
Shall not the wise and prudent hear My voice? Shall they not declare
it?”
Yes
Lord. We shall hear. We shall declare it. In Your name.
Is
it any wonder in our day why we have lying leaders lying to the lying
public? Liars deserve to be lied to. God will give wicked leaders to
govern wicked people that have forsaken Him. And this is what is
going on in this day particularly in the United States.
Rulers
who are thieves stealing from the unsuspecting people. Lying stealing
wicked leaders deceiving the people. A land full of deceit. We are
living in the times like Jeremiah 9.
God called His people to
submit to their chastisement. The same is true today. Humble
yourself. Confess your sins before God and put away the evil of your
doings. Seek the Lord. Seek righteousness and meekness. It may be
that He will hide you in the day of His wrath.
