“RAVENOUS WOLVES WITH A SIDE OF CHOCOLATE COVERED PRONOUNS”

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15

Oh, where would one start? Well, maybe the title, as always, I want to pay homage to my favorite holiday.

I love Christmas and Easter, but Valentines Day celebrates so much more than the world even understands, if they did understand, they would try to pervert and destroy the truth of it just as they have tried to pervert and destroy the things of God already.

What could be a more befitting time to discuss just such things than the day set aside to celebrate one who was martyred because he believed in Godly marriage and continued to perform marriage ceremonies, even once it became illegal.

He believed the truth of the commands of God enough to go against the evil and incredibly wicked laws of that day and continue in his duty to the true laws of God and in doing so, gave his life.

Refusing to compromise the truth he was beheaded, and what we are truly celebrating is his life and his death and the truth of the love of God and God’s truth concerning romantic love and the truth, even now, whether the world likes it or not, couples are to be married and that marriage is to be one male and one female.

God does not make mistakes, he does not create humans in the wrong body, we are the gender that he chose and on that note…

Who do we want to be in these last days? 

Are we going to smile and nod and declare to each his own, as God’s Holy Word is analyzed, securitized, and twisted to appease absolutely demonic forces that are ruling society today or are we going to stand for the truth of the one who stood for us?

I have several current events that I want to get to, so this may become a series of such, you know, like the pagan statue celebrating the slaughter of millions of babies.

Yeah, that proves just how far humans have fallen, when they are so arrogant that abortion is now something to be proud of.

And the reference of being fierce, they may think that but when judgment from God comes, they will understand the true meaning of the word.

Celebrities openly celebrating evil and luring an entire generation along for the ride.

Parents more concerned with being socially chic and politicly correct than being actual parents, anything and everything goes, and it is a stench in the nostrils of God.

People praised as “christian” when they are not even saved, celebrities touted for their “belief” in Jesus, while spewing off their beliefs on how “accepting” he is and that there is no sin.

They do not keep his word nor do they even know him, they worship the imagination of their own mind and they will not save themselves from eternal damnation.

It has all become so diluted now that one would seriously have to ask probing questions to know if someone is a true follower of Christ or a candy coat because we can no longer trust the Christian label that is being placed on the absolute ungodly.

It’s all coming down to gender, everything, everything is being changed to accommodate a far more sinister plan.

What’s inside is going to come to the surface sooner or later but that does not mean that is what was meant to be, people are giving themselves over to absolute insanity and demonic spirits in the name of social progress.

Humans are created in the image of God, Satan hates God, he hates humans, even though so many are following right along after him, he wants to twist and pervert, distort and destroy everything God designed a human to be and the attributes he created individually for each person.

So now we have the pronouns, everyone offended over the pronouns, laws threatened to be put in place and people fired for refusing to use another’s preferred pronouns.

Which gets us to the point of this post, as if so many American churches hadn’t became nothing more than a country club, doing backbends catering to sin in the name of the dollar.

So now we get to the news that the church of England is seriously considering changing the pronouns of God, now that is defying all logic right there.

These people could not possibly even believe in the existence of God and suggest doing such things.

God had the Bible written exactly as He wanted it, here’s your proof.

“ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16

Notice, all the reasons it is given are the reasons they wish to change,

If they were truly of Christ, this would be in their hearts, not in their heads wishing to pervert it.

“Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, But with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 2 Corinthians 3:3

God knew well in advance the corruption of men and the plan of satan to work through them, and that part of that would be the attempt to change his word, so the penalties for those actions are written at the end of the book.

Revelation 22:18,19:” For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”

Maybe they are or were priests, preachers, whatever at one time but once they touch his word and defile it, these judgments will be a done deal.

That will apply to anyone who gave permission or collaborated in any way.

No one will be excused by the just following orders plea either, because this verse nullifies that and reminds us that we are held accountable to God not for the actions of others, but for our own actions.

Acts 5:9: “Then Peter and the other men answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.”

So, if the entire world is on board for changing everyone’s sexes, pronouns, and even so brazen to think they’ll actually change God’s.

You may be wondering why is going on with all of this, why is He, She, them, They, It, Whatever suddenly so important.

The answer lies with the story of legion and the fact that angels are created neither male nor female, humans only have an assigned gender.

If the angels are not male or female, why would the fallen ones be an exception to this rule?

Think about serval aspects of the account of Jesus healing the man possessed by legion.

“And they came over to the other side of the sea, into a country of the Gadarenes.

And when he (Jesus) was come out of the ship, immediately, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.

Who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no man could bind him, no not with fetters.

Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder (pulled in two) by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

But we he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

For he (Jesus) said unto him, Come out of the man thou unclean spirit.

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion, for we are many.

And he besought him that he would not send them away out of the country.

Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

And the devils him, saying Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand) and we choked in the sea.

And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what was it was that was done.

And they come to Jesus, and he him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.” Mark 5:1-15

Now picture that and notice the italicized pronouns. He appeared as one person, but when asked for a name, the demons answered and notice they referred to themselves as we and us, but once the man was delivered, he is again referred to as him.

I often use parathesis to give clarity, but when it is written that there were two thousand of the swine that fled, that is as written in the Bible, so that tells us just how many were afflicting this man.

I have used this story before and pointed this out, but I also want you to note that he had been cutting himself with stone, our society tagged this action as “self-harm”, but it is clear it is brought about by demonic influence.

The devil wants to destroy what God has created and people do not necessarily have to be possessed for satan to influence their thoughts for harm.

The mental health crisis among children and teens today are a direct result of the ungodly influences they are bombarding with through society, social media, and those who force them to decisions that they are much too young to even consider.

“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well; the devils also believe, and tremble.”  James 2:19

They aren’t trying to tell the world his doesn’t exist, they are attempting to manipulate minds and lead them into the same damnation they face.

Please guard your heart, your mind, and your soul against these false teachers.

And if you are struggling with what God clearly condemns as sin, and there are many sins, repent, and change the course of your eternal destination.

But don’t let anyone convince you that God has somehow changed his mind concerning all that was written for our good in his holy word, He never changes, neither does his word.

Finally, as Peter proclaimed on the day of Pentecost, “Save yourselves from this untoward (perverse) generation.”

Stay on watch against those ravening wolves, they are out in full force and have a wonderful Saint Valentines Day!

Soul Focus 1 “Didn’t Work For Babel…So, Good Luck With That”

By”Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:22

Sometimes you just really have to wonder what people are thinking when they come up with some of the far out plans, plots, and schemes, especially some of those we hear about today.

Lord’s will, over the next little bit, we’ll take a look at a few of these master plans that are being concocted by those who are revered as being of above average intelligence in matters of science, safety, the environment, and let’s not forget our new go-to term, health care.

Whom society views as the voice of reason in all we say, think, and do.

And whose advice is sought after, paid for, and even sometimes forced upon those who really don’t share their visions of good for one, good for all socialism, whether it’s really good for us or not.

What I find actually comical, is that in many of these instances, the remedy to the current issue that ails, is already laid out in the word of God, and for a world whose majority decries and denies the existence of an eternal sovereign being, known to us as Jehovah God, yet they are hellbent on formulating plans to counter Bible prophecies and prevent their fulfillment.

Kinda reminds of another group of individuals, only now the plans are to the infinite extreme.

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

And they said one to another, Go to (Come), let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 

And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they all have one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Go to, let us go down, and there confound (confuse) their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

The Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and the left off to build the city(quit).

Therefore is the name it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence (then) did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of the all the earth.” Genesis 11:1-9

You know, maybe someone even could have spoke up, and said something like, “Well, that obviously didn’t work!” But the others couldn’t have understood what they were saying anyway,

So… and think about this, their reasoning for doing this was the fear of being scattered, and they brought on the reality of that fear by concocting this grand plan rather than trusting the plan of God.

So now lets get on to another human devised plan that “makes you go hmmm?”. Can you tell that I was a Freedom Williams fan back in the day? Wonder if I need a no copyright infringement intended statement?

Well, hopefully if I did , that will suffice, I am using it as a phrase not a new song title. Well enough of my ramblings let’s get to it, shall we?

Scientist believe with relative certainty that earth is endanger of someday being plummeted by a Mac Daddy of an asteroid and they would like to prevent this, if possible, and save an untold number of lives, and probably even earth as we know it, so as all of you already know through news outlets that they have devised their plan to redirect potential earth bound asteroids.

Even sounds kinda noble doesn’t it? I am sure there were probably a builder or two on the tower that thought it was a good ideal for the betterment of all and good of all. But we know, it really wasn’t a good idea, it didn’t make anything better and hurt them in the end through the judgment of consequence that will remain in effect until the Kingdom of Jesus in which all language will again be one.

So they knows it’s coming, and they want to set up a defense against it, and the problem with that is that this is Bible prophecy, there is only one defense against those things prophesied and that is through a personal relationship with Jesus, only through salvation can any of us escape the inevitable and there is no preventing it from happening.

There is no redirecting the course for all of earth, we can only redirect our personal, individual course and then Jesus is our defense, he takes his children out of the path of harm.

But there is nothing mortal man can do to prevent these things from coming to pass.

My question is Why do they still refuse to believe? Why will they not believe something that written close to eighteen hundred years ago?

They will believe absolute lies, such as Evolution and Darwinism, and that our universe is all there is, and that death is a peaceful state of sleep, with no afterlife, they will believe everything except the truth that stares them in the face,

They will believe that murder is a punishable crime and yet that same act of taking a life given from God, becomes a healthcare choice if the murder victim is a baby.

They believe that the center of the earth is possibly as hot as the surface of the sun, but yet they refuse to believe in the existence of Hell.

And they will believe that an asteroid will inevitably hit earth, bringing catastrophic destruction such as humankind has never known, yet they refuse to believe the foretelling of this event found in Holy scripture.

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

And another angel came and stood at the altar; having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all  saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth; and there were voices and thunderings, and lightenings, and an earthquake.

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire,mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third part of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea; and the third part of the sea became blood. And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life,died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.”  Revelation 8:1-11

Many things are coming and nothing in human invention and planning can rival the power and strength of Almighty God.

These event will happen, but they happen as judgments upon unrepentant sin and refusal to accept Christ and accept divine deliverance.

Science know it’s coming, Christians have always known it’s coming.

Defense is noble, but never put your trust in human invention, put your trust in the only one who truly saves, and sets all things in motion.

Blessing and Peace to you and yours! Till next time!

“Irreverence for the Reverential Fear of God”

“For if we sin willingly after we that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

He that despised (has rejected) Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Of how much sorer (worse) punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden (trampled) under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing (common), and hath done despite (insulted) the Spirit of grace? 

For we know him that hath said, VENEGENANCE BELONGETH UNTO ME, I WILL RECOMPESE (repay), SAITH THE LORD. And again, THE LORD SHALL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 10:26-31

Now to explain the title just a little, 

Irreverence.

Irreverence literally means this: “a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously”

Just when I think I have heard it all, I suddenly discover that I have obviously been living under a rock, since I was unaware of Drag Queen “preachers”, and I do make a truly diligent effort to keep up on our jacked up little world, but this was a new one on me.

Evidently a church in South Carolina has decided to take the open door approach a little too far and even more disturbing to me is that this is heralded as a “Lutheran” church.

I do believe Martin Luther would take great offense to the absolute disrespect and downright mocking of God, his holy word and a house supposedly called by God’s name.

Not only is homosexuality still a sin, and the candy coats, and the old goat are seemingly moving at the speed of light    

and with such sheer disbelief and mockery as to make the church, or the building they call a church, nothing more than a circus.

They may be serving the god of themselves and their flesh but the true God is no where near this and it is a disgrace and an absolute insult to Jesus.

If people want to congregate, and they want to get together, and set about performing good deeds or whatever, that would be one thing but to usurp the name of Christ

They could not even possibly believe in him, otherwise they would be terrified to openly, blatantly sin while having the audacity to profess his name.

Here is what God says in the Bible, the real one   concerning those who use his word, with no intentions of repentance or regard for him or his statues, only to use his word for their convenience, for gain, for prestige, or whatever their motive and agenda may be.

Psalm 50:16-22: “But unto the wicked, God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statues, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?  

Seeing that thou hats instruction, and castest MY WORDS behind thy back. 

When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partakers with adulterers.

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sitteth and speaketh against thy brother, thou slenderest thy own mother’s son. 

These things thou hast done, And I kept silence; thou thoughest that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove (rebuke) thee; and set them in order before thine eyes. 

NOW consider THIS, ye that forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, and there be none to deliver.”

Notice what he is saying, that the wicked, now this is God speaking in that passage, he is calling them wicked and gives a few of the reasons why, and he is asking them how they can even justify proclaiming his statues or taking his word into their mouth when they clearly will not repent, they hate instruction, they hate what he stands for and cast away, throw away his real word, behind them as they continue on in their deception.

And again, this statement is from God, and He very clearly ends it with his warning for consequences of playing with his word, because they are playing with fire. 

Mention of fire… let’s check out some of that judgment raining down on those who thought long ago about playing games with the house of God.

“And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.

Then I beheld, and lo the likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins (waist) downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the other appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head (hair); and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate, that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image (idol) of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.  

And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now and the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and beheld northward, at the gate of  altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 

He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary?  but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater (worse) abominations. 

And he brought me to the door of the court, and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

Then he said unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I digged in the wall, behold a door.

And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed (carved) upon the wall round about.

And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients (elders) of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up. 

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery (room of his idols)? for they say, The Lord seeth us not: the Lord hath forsaken the earth. 

He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

Then he brought me to the door of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat a woman weeping for Tammuz (pagan fertility “god”) 

Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty and five men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. 

Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O Son of man? is it a light (trivial) thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here?  for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger; and lo, they have put the branch to their nose. 

Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye will not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet, will I not hear them.

He cried also in mine ears (hearing) with a loud voice, saying, Cause (let) them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher (upper) gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in and stood beside the brasen altar. 

And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house (the temple). And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.

And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set (put) a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and cry for (over) all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. 

And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite; let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 

Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary (temple) Then they began at the ancient men (elders) which were before the house (temple). 

And he said unto them, Defile the house (temple) and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. 

And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left (alone), that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! will thou destroy all the residue (remnant) of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?

Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood (bloodshed),and the city is full of perverseness. for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth it not.

And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head. 

And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.” Ezekiel 8: 1-18 & Ezekiel 9:1-11

I know that is a lot of scripture, but these are the stories that are seldom told!! God was very angry and rightful so.

As he showed the prophet first- hand the abominations that were being committed, worshipping the graven images, worshipping false gods, notice when they were worshipping the Sun, turning their backs on the true house of God, doesn’t that sound familiar?

So many today refusing the truth and believing the lies of self and the devil, believing in this nonsense of make your own Christianity, believing a lie and in the process, as scripture states, being damned, on their way to an eternal hell, if they don’t forego the fairy-tale and accept the truth.

The biggest insult of all in our story is that the common justification between them is that God no longer watched over the earth, his call for the angels that watched over proving otherwise, and they were so delusional that they thought they could hide their abominations from God, bragging in their hearts that he would never see.

Well, we see how far they got with that, God is very patient, but He will not tolerate irreverence and the defilement of his house.

And while we are on it, again He mentioned all the bloodshed, now people, like the president trying to bring God into the abortion “debate”, still trying to figure out how anyone can say this is not murder, but with Biden saying it’s a right of a child of God is insane, Commandment number 6, “Thou shalt not kill.”

Why has he not been ex-communicated yet? Well, him, Kaine, and Pelosi? Many Catholics have been ex-communicated for far less, must be special political privilege!

We all know what it is don’t we?

There is absolutely no way for this country or this world to slither out from under the judgment of God. It is too far gone and there is no coming back.

Proverbs 6:15: ” Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.’

That is what happens to the wicked who refuse repentance.

And think of this, if those in ancient Israel who thought God did not see their abominations in his house faced such a judgment, imagine what those who now at openly, mockingly defile his house are in danger of.

And do they care? No of course not because again, they could not possibly believe at all, and as the Bible teaches us, only a fool says in his heart that there is no God.

Please keep yourselves holy, that simply means keeping yourself in God’s word and keep your mind, heart, and soul protected from this world.

Stay away from all these abominations and don’t even watch them as a curiosity because it is an absolute disgrace.

This has nothing to do with being gay, being a drag, being whatever, it we be no different than if an atheist, who does not believe at all or a satanist, or voodoo priestess, Buddhist, Scientologist, anyone who has not repented according to the word of the Lord, decided to “hold service” lead worship, read scripture and take on a title for a position that they have never been called to nor qualified for.

One must be saved, and washed in the blood of Jesus, repentant of all things his word declares as sin, and having stepped away from those things, in order to be to be a true servant of God. 

We can’t have a list of Jesus’ teaching that we like and are willing to adhere to and at the same time reject the Bible’s teaching on other subjects, that we may not feel should be sin, but God word says otherwise.

We can’t have it both ways, we either want God or we want the world.

That is why so much absolute heresy is going on today. It has become a money-making machine for many, without ever a thought that one day, a very real God will want answers as to why they have used His Name and His words without any fear, belief, or respect of him whatsoever.

God will never allow anything to contradict his word, and he never changes, nor will this world ever change him, and that includes his judgments.

In my post concerning miracles I had referenced going back to later verses in that chapter also, for this post ,so here that is.

1 John 5:16-21: ” If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life  for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.  

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

We know that whosoever is born of God(born again) sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, even his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen “

This is in reference to people becoming reprobated, when they go so far over the line, against God that they well…they have just gone too far and that is why we are told to not pray for them, and that is a truly horrific thought.

Speaking things against God, against his people, and his statues is very dangerous especially having no spiritual discernment to understand that what they are saying is not just spoken toward a group of people that they do not like but that they can be speaking themselves into eternal damnation.

“And whosoever speaketh a word against Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.” Matthew 12:32

When we have leaders professing that abortion is a right as “a child of God” and groups protesting for the right to slaughter children, on the very day set aside to honor motherhood, and to do so on God’s holy ground of his churches. And to make a mockery of his ministry, it is quite clear to see how close many in this nation are coming to the point of no return.

“A Brief Intermission”

“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick, but when the desire is cometh, it is the tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12

You gotta have hope! I love that verse because think about it, when we get discouraged and life throws everything at us, “but the kitchen sink”, as our Southern sayings go, we can lose hope and nothing is worse than feeling hopeless.

As that verse tells us it literally sickens our heart. It also destroys our health, peace, and withers away our very souls, but when the thing we had hoped for and almost given up hope on, finally comes to be, we have such joy, such newness, that brings a fresh breath not only to our life but to our very soul.

And you may be thinking,” Okay Lady, aren’t you supposed to be working on the judgements?’ To which I would surely answer, “Why yes, actually I am.  But the really really tricky part with dealing with the judgments is to attempt to deal with it without being overwhelming, it is heavy and it is doom. destruction, and peril, and if not dealt with correctly could lead to a feeling of hopelessness for anyone studying it.

Which is maybe why many ministers have a hard time embracing the very necessary teaching of it. I love a good sermon myself, but God gave us the entire Bible, including the books that make people uncomfortable, or more like terrified.

So bearing all that as I was working on a little something about “climate change”, I felt that we may need to have a little intermission to restore our hope and remember the end goal and the beauty that will come after all the pain.

As I pondered which way to go with the thought, I was out walking yesterday and it was so absolutely beautiful as autumn has come and the leaves were brilliant with the sun peeking through the trees some still quite green but now mingled with golden yellows, flaming orange, and gorgeous shades of burgundy, the sky perfectly blue scattered with a cloud or two, enough fallen leaves to crackle underfoot as I walked, and the air so crisp with the unmistakable scent of hickory nuts, many of which are now scattered about.

And I love it! And it always amazes me how something so beautiful can be the result of its actual death, it is loveliest just before it finally falls to the ground, surrendering to the cold, snow, and ice to come.

Much like the judgments, their impending doom and destruction does indeed mean the end of what was known or what will ever be again but just as those trees will restore completely renewed after winters assault, so will earth and those who have chosen to serve Jesus, restoration and beauty, peace and eternal joy, as never experienced before.

And like in our own lives when seasons change, all things change in order to produce greater things.

To be restored something had to be lost or damaged, and God restores to conditions even better than before.

To be renewed something has to have grown tired, and weary or have been weakened.

To be revived something has to be on the edge of death.

So before we move on to more judgments we’ll look at what we have to look forward too.

My favorite, I have used it in many a post, it is a picture of the resurrection of the dead and the rapture of the church at the return of Christ, and it is actually compared to the seasons of earth.

Song of Solomon 2:10-13:“My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my fair one, and come away. 

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the signing of the birds is come, and the voice of the turtle (turtledove) is heard in our land;

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs and the vines with the tender grape gives a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.”

Jesus is our beloved and his church is his love, his fair one and what a beautiful picture of the times of trouble, the winter of earth over and all the rain of sorrows, fire, brimstone from the heavens that will come with the judgments will also with his reign over earth, be gone.

I was reminded of this verse a few weeks back, as I walked by my father’s grapevine, the aroma was heavenly, and these verses are such as  blessed reassurance that one day, everything will be made new.

And you probably know these final verses well, but this is our hope and this is why we want to share not only the Gospel, but to share the judgments to come, because if they do not know what is coming and why, how can they possibly repent and be spared all those dreaded events that will come upon earth?

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first were passed away; and there was no more sea.

And I John saw the holy city new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow. nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new, And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of teh water of life freely.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; And I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 

But the fearful ( This usage means cowardly) and unbelieving, and abominable, and murders, and whoremongers (sexually immoral),and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is teh second death.

And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the last seven plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

And the wall the city had twelve foundations, and in (on) them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 

And the city lieth foursquare (;aid out as a square), and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs (fifteen hundred miles) The length, the breadth, and the height of it are equal.

And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits 216 feet), according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

And the building (construction) of the wall of it was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

And the foundations of the wall city were garnished (adorned) with all manner of precious stones.

The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eight, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; and every several (individual) gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten(illuminate) it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it.

And the gates of it shall not be shit at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 

And they shall bring the glory and honour of nations into it.

And there shall in no wise (no way) enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh(causes) abomination, or maketh a lie; but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

And the shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

And there shall be no night there; no need no candle (lamp), neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light; and they shall reign for ever and ever.

And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done (take place). 

Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” Revelation 21:1-27 & Revelation 22:1-7

You have to have hope in these things to endure the knowledge of those things which are to come. I do pray that this has been a  pleasant intermission, please stay with as we go forward learning about the judgements from various books of the Bible and we will also talk about what life on the new earth and new Jerusalem will be like, and I promise you this, it will be beautiful beyond our wildest dreams!

Have a blessed week! Love & Peace to you and yours, thanks for reading!

“Trumpets Preparing to Sound” Part 3/ Blood to the Bridles & Filling Bird Bellies

“Who is that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

Wherefore are thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat (winepress)?” Isaiah 63:1.2

We are listening in on this conversation. The first question posed is who is this that cometh in glory, appearing in his own greatness. He answers that he is he who is mighty to save, so know this is the Lord speaking.

The second question is Why is your clothing red? And even more inquisitively and descriptively, Why is your clothing splattered red, as if you have been trampling grapes?

We’ll get to all those answers in a bit, but I want to remind you of a verse from the last post, Revelation 17:16: “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore (harlot)…”

And we know that Mystery Babylon the Great is referred to as a female, so when I use her and she, I am referring to the country that is being referred to as the Great.

We were told that the ten horns are ten kings and they hate Babylon the Great, even though she had made them rich, not only through imports of goods, but through all that they had gained from her and through her policies and financial practices of aid and presumed goodwill.

You know kinda like America dishing out billions of dollars for programs such as gender equality research, world-wide abortion funding, and many other programs that have nothing to do with helping others with food, shelter, and water, you know the things that are truly needful, but why worry about that when they are agendas to be pushed.

Droves of financial aid doled out like candy to those who would just as soon see us destroyed and will use our tax payer’s money to do just that, but in the same breath seek to withhold much needed funding for Israels Iron Dome, and those who do bother to know God’s word, know that God actually said this, Genesis 12:3:“I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee…”

But I am sure they laugh, because they don’t believe and they don’t believe that they will be cursed of God because they haven’t seen it yet, but that my dear friends is why the Bible lists the judgments.

The judgments only come after they refuse the truth, God is very merciful and gives not only people but nations the opportunity to turn to him as we know that the king of Nineveh had the good sense to repent when God sent Jonah with the warning.

Mystery Babylon the Great is considered the wealthiest and greatest and strongest nation on earth, but she is absolutely hated by her enemies but her sin and self-confidence has blinded her to that fact. This is why she has said in her heart that she would see no sorrow, her leaders have become so complacent that they really believe that.

Kinda like those who really believed the Titanic was unsinkable, and ever dared say, that God himself could not sink it, well, we know how tragically that ended, and I can’t help but to think of some of the signs and remarks thrown toward the church concerning abortion and gay rights, I saw a pro-abortion sign the other day, slamming rosaries, I will not even repeat what its aid, for fear, not fear of the pro-abortionists, but fear of offending the Lord, by even repeating it. But these people should be grateful that the church is praying for them, praying that they will see the truth and be saved.

As we read with the destruction of Babylon, there is a day coming that they won’t need their signs and they won’t have to be offended by the audacity that someone would actually try to get them saved from eternal damnation, when Jesus takes his voice, his church and they will hear us no more,

But that is not going to be a wonderful event as they suppose, it’s not going to work out quite like they think, sure, they won’t have to hear us, no one will tell that that anything is wrong, and they will have their rights to do as they wish, well almost as they wish, soon the antichrist will come into power and it will be his way or death.

Once he comes into power, the only way to buy food or survive is to take his mark, meaning giving him your absolute soul and if they refuse, they will be beheaded, but saved eternally.

If they take the mark of the beast they will live for a while on this earth, but God supernaturally removes their ability to die, yes, dig that, they will try to commit suicide but are unable to die, when he sends all of those judgments, not even death can stop it, Lord’s willing, we’ll hit that in a future post.

Nevertheless, bearing all this, we can see where we are and unfortunately where we are headed. The prophet Jeremiah, who actually prophesied the future Babylon’s demise had quite the job, they hated him, they slapped him around, they threw him in a dungeon, he even at one point wished he had never been born because in his world, he had to tell his own people that they were coming under judgment.

God even told Jeremiah that they would not listen, they were too stubborn, too self-righteous, but God will not send judgment without first sending the warning.

And he was obedient, the worst part of having to tell your own people that they are coming under judgment, people you love, they are after all, your people, but the risk ran, just as in Jeremiah’s day, is the rejoicing of the enemies, just as these ten kings from the Book of Revelation seek to destroy the Great.

It’s not about a desire to see any nation destroyed, it is about God, his holiness, his word, and his commands, and messengers can refuse to relay the message, just as Jonah tried to do, he tried to run, but we can’t outrun God, and if messengers don’t give the message, they are not only accountable to God for the lives of those, they have also benefitted the enemy by in effect, handing people over to him by not warning them to the snares that await,

They may laugh for a while but God may use one to judge another, as these ten kings plot the destruction of Mystery Babylon, but that does not mean they will go unpunished.

We’ll get into that one a later one also, these subjects are so complex that they truly require an entire post or two dedicated to each one, it would take volumes to even touch all that needs mentioned, so please read the Bible for yourself, read these chapters, do not be caught off guard by any of these things.

God gave us his word so that we would be prepared, that we would know what we are seeing when we see it come to pass.

Now to our original questions at hand, Who?

Well, he gave us his identity, mighty to save, “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse: and he taht sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew but he himself. 

And he was clothed with a vesture (robe)  dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.” Revelation 19: 11-13

Now back to Isaiah for the answer to Why? Why is his clothing all red and splattered? Why is his robe literally dipped in blood?

Isaiah 63:3,4: “I have trodden (trampled) the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain my garments.

For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”

This is one of the many reasons Jesus said this as recorded in Luke 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,”

Where is all this blood going to be coming from?

Revelation 14:14-16: “I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat one like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time has come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.”

Remember the next events take place after the destruction of Mystery, Babylon the Great and after the rapture of the church.

Revelation 14:17-20: “And another angel come out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of teh vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

And the winepress was trodden without (trampled outside) the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horses bridles, by the space (depth) of a thousand and six hundred furlongs (two hundred miles).”

That is horrific. Can you imagine two hundred miles of blood? Not to mention the absolute carnage? This again, is why the church is reaped first, raptured out sotaht we will not witness these things.

Jeremiah 25:33: “And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried, they shall be as dung upon the ground.”

Now to see what becomes of all those bodies, I’ll start by doubling down the first verse,

Revelation 19:13-18: “And he was clothed with a vesture (robe) dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword that with it he should smite (strike) the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 

And he hath on his vesture (robe) and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying, to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come, and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God: 

That ye may eat the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.”

And one more time, who is the Word of God?

John 1:1-14: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. That same was in the beginning with God. 

All things were made by him: and without him was not any thing made that was made. 

In him was life: and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended (apprehended) it not. 

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of that Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 

But as many as received him, to them gave he power (the right) to become the sons (children) of God, even to them that believe on his name.

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word was made flesh (became flesh), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.”

Pretty much says it all, Jesus Christ is the Word of God and it is he that will judge this earth. notice it is all the earth, bodies from one end of earth to the other end of earth.

That is what always bothers me so about about false doctrine, people swallow it hook, line and sinker,  because it appeals to their flesh, that do not want to be saved, they want to be a good morale person but they do not want to have God telling them what to do, but it does not work that way, you can be a great person but without the covering of the blood of Jesus and accepting his salvation, you are not a Christian, we can never be good enough to save ourselves that is why the Bible says our righteousness is as filthy rags, and wanting to lay claim to his name  but not commit to his commandments is not salvation.

It would be better not to claim to be anything, such as the surge in “Christian artists” who happen to be gay and write dreadful lyrics doubting his very existence, that just spreads disbelief, and God is not taking it lightly.

I always want to ask, What on earth they are reading, where are they getting this false image of Jesus? He is beautiful, He is merciful, He is graceful and he wants everyone saved, but it is a double edged sword and he is not going to let the world continue in it’s present state while people debate whether or not he exists, and believe me, when you truly get saved, you know how real he is and the argument that if he were real, why would he let things happen is ridiculous, he was crucified, his apostles were murdered, his people are martyred,  as he told us, a servant is not above his master, this world is not our hope, our hope is in the next world.

And of course in mentioning any of this, we are “hateful” and intolerant, No, I will stand before a holy God, just as everyone else will and I will give account, and I am not going to stand there and say, “Yes, Lord I understood that but I knew that would hate me for saying it.”

No, I thank God for the people who kept telling me that I needed saved, and I never want to see anyone left on this earth when this comes down, but it will come, and it will come because of all the evil and wickedness and the next time you see someone on the news being dragged down the street by her hair, to be beaten or beheaded and the next reports you hear of all the other atrocities on this earth, ask yourself who is going to ever be able to put a stop to all of it. It will only change when Jesus brings judgment and my, what a judgment it will be.

Lord willing, we will continue to look at the different aspect of the judgments and what will take place, but read this DON”T be left on this earth to be part of it. If you have never accepted Jesus as your Saviour, take his advice from the scripture above, be counted worthy to escape the things to come.

“The way”

HE: Psalm 119:33-40: “Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.

Give me understanding; and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Make me go in the path of thy commandments; for therein Io delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity (looking at worthless things); and quicken (revive) me in the way.

Stablish (establish) thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. Behold, I have long after thy precepts: quicken (revive) me according to thy righteousness.”

The world has reached such a level of wickedness now that is reaching the limits like those that Sodom and Gomorrah and the violence of the days of Noah  Please are so self willed and refuse to believe in the true God and believe that there is “more than one way to heaven” THERE IS NOT.

These are false teachers and liars that only want people to follow them and their pagan demons for the love and love of money and those who claim that mediums, psychics, and the occult  are just “gifted” but that is is an absolute lie and it is EVIL.

More than ever we must be on guard and do not listen to the lies of this world, God has NEVER nor will he ever change his word and he does love his people and his creation and he will forgive those who ask and but so many don’t want forgiveness or Jesus they serve the god of themselves but that is not changing Jesus, or His word or his return to this earth and he delivers his people.

There is one way and one way only.

John 14:5.6: “Thomas saith unto him,Lord, we know not whIther goest; and how can we know the way?  Jesus saith unto him, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME.”

He is and will forever be THE ONLY one and the ONLY way!

Have a blessed day!

“Nudging the Neo-Nicolaitanes”

“I am he that liveth, and was dead: and behold I am alive for evermore., Amen. and have the keys of hell and of death.

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things  which shall be hereafter (take place).

The mystery (a hidden truth) of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks (lampstands). 

The seven stars are the angels (messengers) of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.” Revelation 1:18-20  

About those messengers, messengers whose job is to relay these messages from God’s word.

All of his warning and his encouragement and I have pointed this out and will continue to, but I love the fact that Jesus gives the good news and the encouragement when addressing the churches then the warnings of what must change or consequences will come.

Consequences such as having those candlesticks removed from his precense.

And he is telling us what has went on, what is currently going on, and what is on the way. So what happened?

Why do we live in such a day that there are teachings so contrary to the Word of God, that once upon a time, no one would have dared to pervert the Word of God, or purposely distort scriptures to fit their own frame, making them appear to mean something in complete opposition to his teachings.

Satan has crept in with the nonsense that in order to “convert” people to Christ, that Christ must be “presented” as a desirable influence in lives and that he is so interested in their acceptance of him, that the majority of his word is now suddenly in our modern age completely void. That his commandment are merely an option, that is open to their interpretation and to the convenience of those commandments in their life.

That Jesus is okay with anything we want to do, any way we want to live, that his is so desperate for us to worship him that he will allow us to walk all over his word, that all that matters to him is that our flesh is happy and accepted.  How insulting is that?

People are not only insulting him, but insulting and negating everything he did on the cross, and the most horrifying of all, absolutely insulting his Holiness by teaching and believing that somehow humanism is of a higher regard than divine authority.

NONE of that is correct!  It could not be any farther from the truth.

And to address the common argument that that these teachings are by the disciples (this is an especially lacking argument considering that the Bible actually says this: 2 Peter 1:21 “For the prophecy came not in old (any) time by the will of man: but holy men OF God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

And that is our major obstacle right now, those who wish to dispute the Bible and pick and choose verses and interpret those verses based on human thinking, God has to give the understanding of those verses and there are many aspects to different stories and those stories and teaching are purposefully distributed through many different books and chapters. 

Which is why the Bible asks this in Romans 10:14,15: “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

And HOW shall they preach, except they be SENT…?”

The field is so open now that any one can say anything and people listen and never question are these teachers SENT?

Are they really of God? If anyone teaches anything contrary to the written word of God, they are not of God.

Just as the stories in the Bible such a Balaam, a false prophet, whom God overruled and forced him to carry out divine will in not allowing him to curse Israel but made him to bless Israel.

Just because titles are prophet, teacher, minister, whatever, doesn’t mean that they are sent from Jehovah God. There are countless scriptures dealing with the false teachers and God actually tells us to “mark” false prophets, meaning that they will come and when they make proclamation that do not come to pass, take note and know that God did nots end them and do not listen to them any further.

Actually, just let me give you that because this is, in my opinion, one of the biggest downfalls today, listening to the wrong voices.

Deuteronomy 18:9-14 : “When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shat not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any that maketh his son or is daughter to pass through the fire (sacrificed to an idol), or that useth divination (physics), or an observer of the times, (fortune telling), or and enchanter, or a witch, (sorcery), {BTW, no such thing as white “magic” it is all black} Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits (medium), or a wizard, or a necromancer (“channeling” the dead).

For all that do these things are an abomination to the Lord: And because of these abominations the Lord God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect (blameless) with the Lord thy God.

For these nations, which thou shalt possess (dispossess), hearkened unto (listened to and followed) observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord God hath not suffered thee so to do (appointed you to do these things).”

Now here is why, picking up at Deuteronomy 18:15,16: “The Lord God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren,like unto me: unto him thou shalt hearken;

According to all that thou desirest of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see his great fire any more, that I die not.”

And what God was saying here is that they did not want to hear him or see him because they were afraid because they knew by the greatness of his power that he had no equal, and he is telling that that he would send one, like him, just as he confirmed when Jesus was transfigured (Matthew 17:1-9) and they heard the voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.” 

Now for God telling us to hear this Prophet, which we know is referencing Jesus Christ and he also warns us to be cautious when listening to others, even though they may say that they are speaking on his behalf.

Deuteronomy 18:18-18: ” I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I command him. 

And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto my words, which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him (meaning he will hold those who do listen to Jesus accountable).

But the prophet which shall PRESUME to speak in a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 

And if thou shat say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath NOT spoken? 

When  a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow NOT, nor come to pass (if it doesn’t happen) that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.” 

Okay now, we know that God sent Jesus, and Jesus is the final word on all subjects. I want to take you back to Revelation, when Jesus is addressing the churches. Think about this, he IS talking to the churches, these are those who are in his house and he is telling us what has to go, what has to change, as we get these “houses” in order for the soon approaching end day.  

SEVERAL times in these messages he mentions Nicolitanes, he mentions his hatred for their actions and he also mentions Balaam and Jezebel and the “children” of Jezebel, children here meaning those who do as she did, not literally children.  I will just be highlighting a few of these seven churches.

Revelation 2:12-16 : “And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast NOT denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 

BUT  I have a few things against thee, BECAUSE thou hast them THERE that HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM, who TAUGHT Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel  (ENTICED them to commit sin) to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication ( STILL means sexual immortality) .

So hast thou ALSO THEM THAT HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANES, WHICH THING I HATE. 

REPENT, or else I will come to thee quickly, and fight against thee with the sword of my mouth.”  

So we know that he is talking to a church, he is commending them for being true to his name and for keeping the faith, and even having a martyr mentioned as dying for the Gospel, they were holding on and holding on through persecution but despite all that they still ALLOWED FALSE doctrine into their church.

Balaam  actually taught  how to lead the Hebrew women into sin and corrupt them into paganism. That it was “all good” and do as you wish and they fell into that trap.

The Nicolitanes were ones who pretended to be “of the church”, clearly they had infiltrated it, and held the teaching that because they were “spiritual” that they could commit any sin imaginable, frolic with the world and still be right with God! 

Sounds dead on the money to what we’ve got going on now!

They are knowingly allowing teaching and behaviors contrary to the word of God, such as allowing teaching that sin is permissible and that other beleifs are okay, when Jesus said he IS the ONLY way to salvation. And he is telling them to clean it up! Repent, stop it and get it out of their church before he does.

Everyone seems to want to do what everyone else is doing, and if they are doing it, and everyone seems to want to believe if they are, then it must be “right” and  you can do it too

But God does not work that way, didn’t work for Adam when he blamed Eve, didn’t work for Eve when she blamed the serpent and it sure isn’t going to work for us giving the Lord a lame line about “everyone’s doing it”.

He gave his word, people were afraid of God, didn’t want to deal with him, because they knew they would have to live according to HIS standards, so they rejected that, and he came here born to a human but being the absolute only Son of God, and because of his gentleness, his kindness, and his mercy they soon took full advantage of that, in proclaiming that his love (which is real) gave them a license to sin because he loves them too much to bring judgment.

He IS the same, God in the Old Testament, Jesus Christ in the new.

Remember these words? “I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which IS, and which WAS, and WHICH IS TO COME, the Almighty.” 

And again into HIS warning, Revelation 2:18-25: “And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things SAITH the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like unto brass: 

I know thy works, and charity (love) ,and service, and faith, and patience (endurance),and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, BECAUSE thou sufferest (you ALLOW) that woman Jezebel, that calleth herself a prophetess, to teach, and to seduce (beguile) my servants to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed unto idols.  

And I gave her space (time) to repent of her forncation; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed (sickbed) and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation EXCEPT (unless) THEY REPENT OF THEIR DEEDS.

And I will kill her children (followers of that doctrine) with death; and ALL the churches WILL KNOW that I am he which searcheth the reins(minds)and hearts: And I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

But unto you I say, and unto the rest of Thyatira, as many as HAVE NOT THIS DOCTRINE (teaching) and which have NOT known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put on you none other burden.

BUT that which ye have, already HOLD FAST TILL I COME.”

Again, the teachings and doctrines held by Jezebel and the same old demon forces that have been since the dawn of time.

None of this is new and certainly NOT the neo-Nicolitanes, nothing about any of this is NEW.

Same old devil, same old false teachings but one thing for sure, these verses are NOT the disciples saying it, it is NOT anyone interpretation of it being said, this is the written Word of God, with the very Word HIMSELF saying it and don’t take anyone’s word for what God has already told you in his word.

Study it, know it for yourself, and don’t fall victim to these same old demonic tactics that Christ WARNS us about and you don’t have to take my word for how late in the game it is, but you’d better take his. 

If you are holding these doctrines, you’d better get rid of it and if you are allowing these doctrines, know you will be held responsible for it and if you are not sure how you feel, you need to figure it out, God does not play games and he is not going to allow us to either.

This Generation

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” Matthew 24:34

When Jesus spoke this He was warning us, to watch and notice all the different things that would proceed His second coming.

He told us of false Christs, false friends, father against child, and child against parent. He warned us of natural disasters, great varying earthquakes, and tsunamis as the “sea waves roaring” and He told us of the iniquity (sin) that would spread and be rampant and destroy the love and goodness of many as their hearts turned against God because of these things rather than turning to him. 

And I have written numerable posts dealing with all the varying degrees of all those things and troubles and pestilences that were told to come and have come and are here and are not going to let up but are going to actually grow more severe.

And now I just want to hit a little on the term “this” generation. Have you ever really thought about it?

The troubles did start before the end of the lives of the disciples, they were hated, arrested, tried, and murdered for the Gospel.

But the New Testament that was given to us as part of “this” generation and the words, despite being written almost two thousand years ago, are STILL so alive, so timely and their instructions and their warnings are even NOW being fulfilled because they were written for those of us who are here NOW.

And just as those of the past could not quite understand just how the entire world would be able to see the dead prophets of Revelation chapter eleven, lying in the streets or how the entire world could see and chose to worship the Antichrist or how those without the mark of the beast could be forbidden to purchase food, shelter, or medicine. I had even wondered at this, once upon a time, but I never doubted that it would happen.

Now we ALL know that through technology what once seemed impossible is now virtually a piece of cake.

And with that same technology no generation has actually passed away.

ANYTHING you want to know, ANY period of time, ANY ancient artifact or pagan deity you chose to research can all be found at your fingertips.

Bombarded with times, and seasons, styles, and much worse THOUGHTS and DOCTRINES of devils, SEDUCTION of spirits that logically should have long passed away. 

People were once influenced mainly by their own personal cultures and those of their community but now that influence is worldwide and this accounts for much of the hatred and squabbling we see now and the media is more than glad to spread it.

And many have probably see the latest media”commentaries” on the latest tragedies to hit our country that echo the no prayers sentiment and as I listened to the hosts of a CBS morning show yesterday morning, I just could not believe my ears. 

The show hosts just took it and ran with it to further to express their opinion that prayers are NOT needed and adding what they felt was needed instead, now we will have a new movement of backlash against even the act or OFFER of prayer for another person.

And that is a scary proposition and again I want to be clear that I am in no way minimizing the tragedy or feelings of those who experienced it.

I am trying to shed light on what many have known for a very long time, these thoughts an attitude are intentionally spread by those who have their own agendas and just exploit the latest news story to influence societal thinking, spreading it far and wide, and soon everyone is echoing that same thought.

And it is so hypocritical especially considering the fact that prayer and “spirituality” comes and goes like fashion with the media and entertainment industry and for a brief bit a few years back stories of heartache were often ended with statements such as “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.”

During one such major natural disaster a certain mega famous reporter ended his live update by requesting prayer for the victims, HOWEVER, this man is openly gay and that is another big problem with this generation. WHO exactly are they praying to? What is the criteria to allow access to that place of prayers being heard?

Christianity has become a social club with rules and regulations varying based on what “club” you CHOOSE to attend.

“Ministers” have watered down the Gospel and candy coated scripture to appease virtually ANYONE and to suit ANY lifestyle with no repentance or salvation required. It has become about the numbers, the pressure, and the NEED to fit in, look good and ATTRACT the world to get “them in” but the funny thing is, when the WORLD DOES GET IN, the world does NOT change, but the church DOES.

And not for the better.

Maybe popularity and the “respect of men” and  larger crowds and certainly a bigger treasury but when the time comes and all work is tried by fire the leaders of these place will be left behind with nothing more than piles of ashes.

So if people aren’t changed, aren’t converted to Christ, WHO are those prayers being addressed to? WHO is going to answer them? 

The church contorts itself to appeal to the world when actually the word tells us to NOT conform to the world but that we must conform to the image of the Son of God.

1 Timothy 4:1:”Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times ( last days, NOW) SOME shall DEPART from the faith, giving heed to seducing, and doctrines of devils.”

It is easy to see how that happened also, every generation coming down, going deeper and deeper into sin and farther and farther away from God until now we have millions who truly believe that God is some sort of fairy God father and that somehow He owes them something and they should do and say and LIVE exactly how they want, (whether it violates His word or not) and two things happen, you have those who pray and pray for others, while NOT EVEN SAVED THEMSELVES and those who get mad at God and hate him because he did not answer those prayers.

Jesus told us that there are even that things that “only go by fasting and praying”, now that was to his children, those who know Him and yet somehow people who don’t even serve Him think that they are entitled to ask him for whatever they desire, and become ANGRY and OFFENDED if that wish is not granted, that is what it is, acting like God is some “sort of three wish genie” that they can access when needed.

He hears us when we ask for forgiveness and he does love us and watches over us when we are “lost” but being in the world and NOT living for him or serving him or honoring and then to be so vain and self-possessed to believe that we have a right to his promises is just crazy.

Your not going to hear that preached on though, now are ya?

WITHOUT repentance and the acceptance of Jesus Christ there is NO forgiveness for sins and there is NO access to the Father and there is NO way anyone will get to heaven.

They want the promises, they want the security but they do NOT want the Son nor do they want to LIVE by His rules, because they are completely taken over by that same spread rebellion, and it is not that they do not believe in God, it is that they do not want to live by his word or live to his standards in dying to their own desires and sins.

Can’t have both and if anyone truly wants God, they WILL ask Him to save their sins and save their soul and then they WILL live for him and serve him to the best of their ability.

But as long as these attitudes are spread and those who know the truth refuse to speak that truth, it will only get worse, the violence and hatred ARE spreading but they are spread BECAUSE of the lack of God, not because of the inefficiency of prayer.

Again every sick act imaginable fed through the internet and video games depicting graphic violence and rewards for killing and ENTIRE television channels DEDICATED to twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week, three-hundred and sixty-five day a year murder, rape, and violence, complete with REAL crime scenes REAL photos of victims and not one standing up to point out the fact that NO ONE should subject there mind to these things because ALL things also carry spiritual implications.

People are in effect allowing that horror, and fear that someone else faced and the evil, demonic possession that took hold of someone in order for them to commit these crime to be broadcast into their home, their environment and influence their mind. That is what causes violence and we as a society can lay the blame on anything and everything but until we find those old paths and change what we are willing to allow and willingly limit, even if only ownselves, what we spread, the blame still lies on us as a society.

It’s just like Face Book and other social media, people will say and post the most hurtful things, words they’d never dare say to someones face and post every ounce of anger or injustice and share posts containing the thoughts and opinions of others, others they often do not even know, but hey if it sounds good, monkey see, monkey do, whatever happened to common courtesy and showing grace? 

What we “feed” is what we will grow, and the Bible tells us in Philippians 4:8 to ONLY think on good things, beautiful things, holy, honest and with virtue. We are also told in Isaiah 26:3, that we will be KEPT in perfect peace if we keep our MINDS upon God. And we are TOLD in Proverbs 4:23, to GUARD our minds.

We are told seven times in the Book of Revelation “to hear what the Spirit” says to the churches and the word has been repeated several times to the scripture to “Humble ourselves” and  pray and that the Lord will hear us and he will HEAL our land but instead we are continuing to allow all these influences in our homes and in our hearts and turning from God rather than to God in failing to point the cause of all our woes, we are responsible for our own actions, each and every one of us and we can choose to honor God or we can choose the world but at no time should we stand in silence while the world is hating on God and the very act of praying is held as worthless contempt.

 

Those before cared for their fellow-man and the rule of the day was two things were not to be discussed, politics and religion, the lock is off that cage and we are getting a taste of what is coming out and it is truly sad, and you can see the smoke rising and now is a good time to just kinda watch “play out” because that hatred and that self-willed self-centered arrogant hatred is now giving birth to the true God haters. And this is only the beginning, as Jesus also told us that we would be HATED for his name.  

God commanded us to pray for them, I guess we just better do it very secretively unless we want smacked with protest sign and our faces spat in.

This new-found contempt for prayer, I personally believe is going to help “seal the deal” on this passage from Revelation 18:2b: “… and IS become the habitation of devils (home to demons), and the hold of EVERY foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” 

So keep on your guard because already warned us, THIS generation will not pass until ALL that he spoke comes to pass and that includes his return. And KEEP PRAYING!

BABYLON / BLOOD, BRIDLES,& BIRDS Part 3

“Who is this that cometh up from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in HIS apparel, travelling in the greatness of HIS strength?


I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”


Wherefore art thou (why are you) red in thine apparel, and thy garments ( your clothing) like him that treadteth in the winefat (winepress)?


I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I WILL tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; AND THEIR BLOOD SHALL BE SPRINKLED UPON MY GARMENTS AND I WILL STAIN MY RAIMENT.” Isaiah 63:1-3
A little eavesdropping on a conversation there, mention of which let’s pick up on the conversation God had with Jeremiah concerning polluting his church and burning children as sacrifices, shall we?
“Therefore, behold, The days shall come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor  the valley of  the son of Hinnom,
BUT THE VALLEY OF SLAUGHTER: FOR THEY SHALL BURY IN TOPHET, TILL THERE BE NO PLACE.
AND THE CARCASES (DEAD BODIES) OF THIS PEOPLE SHALL BE MEAT FOR THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN, AND FOR THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH; and none shall fray (frighten) them away.” Jeremiah 7:32,33
So how angry do you suppose he is at the moment?
The sin, the lying, the cheating, again all that is a different thing, that is need for salvation.
But the abominations, profaning his name, and killing little babies has led to bloodguilt and that is a charge that is undisputable, as we discussed in earlier posts earth itself is polluted by blood.
When reaping time comes:
Revelation 14:14-20
“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle and the earth was reaped.
Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire, and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle into the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
And the winepress was trodden (trampled)without (outside) the city, and BLOOD CAME OUT OF THE WINEPRESS, EVEN UNTO THE HORSE BRIDLES, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.“
That is about two hundred miles of blood as high as a horse head.
Now for a little more detail,
 Revelation 19:11-18:
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse: and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth (does) judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture (robe) dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the WINEPRESS OF THE FIERCENESS OF THE WRATH OF ALMIGHTY GOD.
And he hath on his vesture (robe) and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, COME AND GATHER YOURSELVES TOGETHER UNTO THE SUPPER OF THE GREAT GOD.
That YE MAY EAT THE FLESH of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sat upon them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.”
Earth will be reaped of what the inhabitants have sown, and that is a very, very clear picture.
That is the payment HE will require by those who have poured out the blood of innocents and lacking any respect or regard for the lives he created, their lifeless bodies will be fed to his birds.
He will judge by his WORD, and as all this plays out and after having seen baby parts in a pie tin in the planned parenthood video, I am really starting to understand why.
In closing if you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, please, please think about these things that are to come, watch the news, see these things for yourself, God is loving and he is protective and he simply will not allow the suffering of those in bondage and all these slaughtered on earth to continue much longer, and as the prayers of his saints, begging for those to be delivered form this evil grow stronger they will be mingled with the angel of heaven and it is coming, the only way to escape is repent and trust Jesus.
