INDEX To THEMES FOR THE WEEK (Weekly Index for easy reference)



August 24, 2011
1. 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.

7. “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
