Little Pope Peep!


Little Pope Peep has a bunch of lost sheep,
And he doesn’t know how to hide them,
Leave them alone and let them come home
And He will surely absolve them.....

Just where is the pope going to find a carpet big enough to sweep all this mess under...Oh you can be sure he will find one!

The Roman Catholic Church is good at covering up its multitude of abominations!

WE ARE TOO EARTHBOUND - David Wilkerson's Devotion today


Have you noticed there is very little talk nowadays about heaven or about leaving this old world behind?
Instead, we are bombarded with messages on how to use our faith to acquire more things. "The next revival," said one well-known teacher, "will be a financial revival. God is going to pour out financial blessing on all believers."

Any message about death bothers us. We try to ignore even thinking about it and think that those who discuss it are morbid. Occasionally we will talk about what heaven must be like, but most of the time the subject of death is taboo. What a stunted concept of God's eternal purposes!

No wonder so many Christians are frightened by the thought of death.
The truth is, we are far from understanding Christ's call to forsake the world and all its entanglements. He calls us to come and die—and to die without building memorials to ourselves. To die without worrying how we should be remembered.
Jesus left no autobiographyno headquarters complexno university or Bible college.
He left nothing to perpetuate his memory but the bread and the wine.

How different the first Christians were. Paul spoke much about death. In fact,our resurrection from the dead is referred to in the New Testament as our blessed hope. But nowadays, death is considered an intruder that cuts us off from the good life we have become accustomed to. We have so cluttered our lives with material things, we are bogged down. We can no longer bear the thought of leaving our beautiful homes, our lovely things, our charming sweethearts. We seem to be thinking, "To die now would be too great a loss. I love the Lord—but I need time to enjoy my real estate. I married a wife. I've yet to prove my oxen. I need more time."

What is the greatest revelation of faith, and how is it to be exercised?
You will find it in Hebrews:
"These all died in faith...and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.... But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city" (Hebrews 11:13 and 16).

How Do We Know If Someone Belongs to God?


By their fruit!

Listen saints if someone loves God, they will keep His commandments, they will not even so much as desire to do that which is evil or wicked...it's as simple as that.

Talk is cheap saints, a person can get baptized a gazillion times, and still be lost. They can tell you how much they love God, yet by their works deny their testimony. They can attend a church every time the doors are open, and say, "I'm a Christian", it don't make it so.

A person can stand in a barn and moo, and say, "I am a beautiful Bovine specimen"...it don't make it so, that's just one deluded, deceived soul.

If someone is claiming to be a "Christian" yet living in sin daily, and waiting for God to do a work for them, when He is ready.... while they just do their own thing....they will wait an awful long time...Because God looks upon the heart...He knows our hearts, He knows our thoughts...before we even think them!

John 14:15-Jesus said:

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 15:10

10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Listen saints, there is no peace for the wicked, only turmoil, strife, sickness and misery, because the wages of sin is death.
How many people in the world who live in sin, seem to have everything the world has to offer, money, fame, luxury, prestige, and how many of them see psychiatrist's?
How many take medications for anxiety, depression, and a myriad of other ailments?
How many can't sleep-Michael Jackson couldn't sleep....!
How many commit suicide, from drug overdoses?
A lot!

Saints, the same things go on in the church...with so called "Christians".
Many seek after so called "Christian" counsellors...to help reaffirm themselves, and stuff themselves full of anti-anxiety, anti-depression medications. Many can not sleep, because they won't let go of unforgiveness, and hatred, and the love of money, which drives them to work themselves to the point that there is no place for God, and yet others are bound by other sins in their lives. Let me tell you saints, unforgiveness and hatred will eat you alive.
So, many suffer, and all because they will not beat their chest and cry out to God, and instead seek to men for help!

"Christians" are in bondage just like the world, because of sin...unrepentant sin...sin that they refuse to let go of, and instead cling to, and "excuse" themselves,.... blaming every one under the sun for their condition, instead of owning their own sins, and repenting and turning from them...and they wonder why they are in such dire straights....well...the wages of sin is death....And our adversary Satan is out to steal from them, kill them, and destroy them for all eternity!

It is the Goodness, and Mercy of God that brings judgement into our lives, to get our attention, that we might repent, and turn from our sins.

Now you might think this harsh...it is just the plain truth...Do you want me to lie to you, and tell you, "Oh just keep on like you've been doing, you'll be OK, God understands, he'll fix you when He's ready?"
If you died today, your blood would be on my hands and you'd be lost, how would that be loving you?

Saints this is no hour to monkey around with our soon coming KING!!!!
REPENT AND TURN FROM YOUR SIN!!!!

Who Says That God No Longer Raises The Dead?!


Every time God saves a soul, He raises them from the dead, eternal spiritual death!

I am fixated on this new thing that the Lord has shown me in regards to those who are dead in their trespasses and sins. You know how when the Lord sometimes shows you something, He just keeps bringing it back, to reinforce it into your very being, at least that is how He works with me.

Ephesians 2:1
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

He is able to quicken (make alive) the dead!

I had a word planted into my mind by the Holy Spirit- "Lazarus Come Forth" then next thing you know someone sends me a video, titled "Lazarus Come Forth!"....its like God said, "You heard me!"
...so I said, "Yes LORD I hear you"....lol...God is Good saints..

John 11:43-44
43. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

God is able to raise the dead-the spiritually lost, the blinded, He is able to cry-"Come to Me, Come forth from Death, and I will make you alive in ME, I will resurrect you to eternal life in ME."

He is able to speak to "cloth" to garments, and they obey! Imagine that!

He is able to bring forth those who are bound, and speak to the things that bind them, and loose them!

HE IS ABLE!

It is only by His Power that the dead can be made alive, we can not raise one from the chains of death, we are not able to loose those in bondage, but HE is, that is His job...and He does it well!!!

JESUS has not lost HIS power, HIS ability to do all things. We must pray, and Trust HIM, there is so very little time left saints...we must be about the masters business, we must cry, "Lord call them from the dead, Lord bring them forth O LORD, and loose them, as you did Lazarus.... "

Hell Hath Enlarged Herself, and Opened Her Mouth Without Measure!


Oh my!...... Just so as you know your not alone saint of God, when you see and hear the news daily around you, and sigh and say-Oh God!

I tell you Politicians could not get much more evil, and the church could not get much more reprobate and wicked....or could they?

2 Timothy 3:13
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

I have a couple of places I check each day, one for world news and current events, Drudge Report.com, the other to see what is going on in "Christian circles" and that is, Apostasy Watch.com-under "Whats New" I check the "Latest Updates", and "News Headlines".... and let me tell you, the things you read in the news, and what is going on in the name of Jesus today, will make your flesh crawl!

For many, news headlines cause them to fear, for the things that are coming upon the earth.
However for the saints of God, (of course we should have concern for the state of the unsaved around us), should rejoice as we see The Day of The LORD approaching. All these things tell us, that we are in the time of the great falling away, and the time of the end. It confirms to us what is written in the scriptures:

2 Timothy 3:1-9
1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Such wickedness is in the "Church" today that Hell is enlarging herself!

However, via the Internet, the folly of many a false teacher and prophet, both men and women, is being manifest to all men-Praise God. The Lord has moved, and is moving through many a saint to expose the wicked amongst us.

Isaiah 5:13-16
13. Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14. Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

This of course is speaking of those who rejoice in their wickedness, and take pleasure in persecuting the righteous.

15. And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16. But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. AMEN!!!

Even so come soon LORD JESUS!!!!

The lost are as the dead!


The lost hear nothing, they see nothing, they understand nothing of God…the eyes of their understanding have been blinded. This includes those within the organized apostate church system of today, who have never been truly born again. That is why they see no problem joining together with the Roman Catholics, Muslims, and whatever, and whomever. That is why they have no problem bringing the world into the “Church”. They are dead and the dead know nothing….this is why it is totally futile to try and get the dead to have understanding. I heard a sister say the other day, “You can stand in a cemetery, and preach and scream and berate and curse at the dead all day long, and what good does it do? Absolutely nothing!”

No man or woman can come to Jesus except they be drawn of God. It is God who ordains men unto salvation not man. It is not man who chooses God, but God who chooses man.

Yes we are to warn the wicked of their ways, but many will not listen nor heed, because they are dead. They are dead in trespasses and sins. We have instruction to warn anyway, that their blood not be on our hands. However the rest of our responsibility is to love them with the love of Christ, for us to manifest the character and nature of Christ to them…to love our enemies, and those who spitefully use us, and persecute us…that we may be called the children of God.

It is one thing to hate all the evil we see around us it is another to be hateful to the enemy.
Jesus Christ prayed for those who murdered Him, in His agony He ministered to others. He did not yell and curse, and berate those who came to claim him for execution.

Saints so many of us have things all upside down, and inside out, today…we are out of God’s divine will…look I have been there saints, I know…and you know what? You are never too old to learn….and saints we need to learn for the hour is growing dark…the day of the Lord is approaching, faster than most are even aware, or wish to acknowledge. It is time to awake out of our slumber saints.

I heard a young saint today expressing his frustrations, for all to hear, about his lost family, his anger was obvious…..it was having an effect on his soul…and our anger does have an effect on our own souls saints…it eats us alive…it is unhealthy.
Oh yes, we can have righteous indignation over sin, we can weep over sin, we can travail in prayer, we can cry out to God about the sin we witness…but we must not allow it to make us bitter, and resentful and unbelieving…we must not allow our anger and frustration, to steal our faith, in God’s ability to do all things.

Lest We Forget America!

Israel to Obama-Jerusalem is not a Settlement, it's Our Capital!


It is Hard to Kick Against the Thorns- Sins Misery!


I am currently observing the struggles, and consequences, in the life of a lost soul, and I was just talking to the Lord and saying, "Oh Lord if she would just surrender to you, bring her to that place Lord."
....Yes the rebellious have many struggles, because they are fighting against the Lord, and it is a hard place when men fight against the Lord, because He has the control, and to fight Him is to hit a brick wall in the battle, eventually.

Acts 9:5
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: "it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks".

Other translations omit the last part of this verse, but to me it says, "It is hard to kick your bare foot against the thorns"-that is what we do when we fight against God, we are battling against one who is supreme, we will not win in a fight against God, ever, we will come away the worse for it, not HIM!

Sinners only hurt themselves when they rebel against the Most High God.

Psalms 107:17
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

Proverbs 13:13-16
13. Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14. The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15. Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
16. Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.

Romans 2:8-9
8. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

Saints, it does not pay for us to fight against God. When we do not live in obedience to His word as His children, we suffer, because God is Good and He chastises us for our own benefit.
When we observe those who are in anguish because of their sin-we need to remember Paul-God met with him-he was a murderer of the saved, the children of God, and God changed him-and He can do that for your loved one, your friend. Nothing is impossible with God!

A Word of Encouragement From One of The Brethren

Women Are More Easily Deceived....


Ladies there are many women in this hour who have told you you're "All that" and more. Many have been deceived by the women's libbers and feminists. Many have been convinced that it is their place to rule the household, including their husbands. This is out of God's divine order ladies.

Eve was not taken from Adams head, but his side to be a helper and companion for him.

To give birth to his children and to care for them and her husband. Not that she should rule over him.

Eve was first deceived.

There are many religious Diva's out there today, and since I have done the first two videos on the subject, many more women who are out of God's divine order, have been brought to my attention, so there will be a part 3.

The Lord is Good ladies, and we have a place in His plan and He loves us dearly, so don't think that I am saying for one minute that we are not important to God. But let me tell you, He has opened my eyes to a few things in my past, and when I look back-I too was out of His divine order on several occasions-out of zealousness for Him-but out of order none the less. Unfortunately the apostate religious system has turned a blind eye to the religious diva's amongst them, and condoned and encouraged them.

I have known several really strong and controlling women, who had me convinced, that Women can and should have places of leadership in the body-they are wrong.

Also, I had an elderly man, who loved God, in my early walk with the Lord, whom I respected, who had me convinced that I should study to be a pastor-I did go through correspondence courses and pass, but when it came to the final interview with the A.S.G. board, it didn't pan out. They told me that since my husband was an alcoholic, it wouldn't "work out". I thank God it did not "work out"-because it was not God's divine will for me, or for any other woman to be a pastor.

God is Good saints, and He steers us to where we need to be, the times I was out of His divine order, He allowed me to feel uncomfortable, I may not have fully understood why I felt that uneasiness at the time, but Praise God I do now!
Even if it takes years, He finally lets us see our place in His body.

We are free to minister to one another, and exhort one another, and even the more so as we see the day of the LORD approaching. However we are to say out of public leadership roles, and that which causes us to usurp a man of God's divine role, and authority, whether that be in the family or in a local congregation.

Our role should be to lead people to seek reliance upon God, not upon us. As women we need to pray for discernment. Some times we are too quick to think the best of someone, when we need to keep them in perspective, and the light of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and God's divine order.

If this offends you, I pray that God leads you to seek Him to know the Truth.
Remember ladies, the serpent is subtle-he tells you..."You will not surely die" He is a liar!

The Real Truth of " Haiti's National Repentance Service"


Here is an excerpt from a true report from one of the brethren in Haiti, Guy Mompoint:

Quote:

What pens did not find ink to write in the many articles, what cameras did not find film to capture in the videos, and what voices did not find breath to state during the so-called national fasting and prayer was the ecumenical spirit of this gathering. Protestants, Catholics, Anglicans, Muslims, Voodooists, Free Masons, and a large “no-preference” crowd gathered in front of what used to be the Haitian National Palace to “pray” and stand in unity for a common cause.
The chief voodoo priest explained that the ancestral spirits caused the earthquake because they were angry with the people for turning their back on them to embrace foreign gods, including the God of Christianity.
The Muslim imam led the entire gathering with a prayer in Arabic, asking them to repeat his words. Then, at the end of the prayer, he translated for them what they just said. “Allah is the same god that you believe in. We call him Allah, you give him a different name, but he is Allah!” The applause just would not stop after his statement.
The Roman Catholic nun took advantage of this perfect opportunity to remind the people that they needed to turn towards the tender hearted, compassionate, blessed Mary, the “mother of God”. And thousands of hands were lifted in the direction of heaven, seeking the loving kindness of Mary, also known as “the mother of Haiti”.
Everyone who made it to the podium, including the President, spoke in the spirit of love, peace, tolerance, in all appearance of piousness and holiness. Heads bowed, eyes closed, with lifted hands or praying hands… How nice! End Quote

New Zealand Woman Sells Souls To Highest Bidder


I tell you saints there is one born every minute, any more.
This woman, sad to say, is from the City I was born and raised. This is yet another reason why I tell folks, New Zealand may be the most beautiful place on the face of the earth, but I couldn't live there now, cause the folks are liberal Godless nuts-with a few exceptions of course.
I would be arrested if I moved back there, because I just wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut, against such absolute Godless nonsense.

Look Up Saints of God For YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH


And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, .........until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Until God puts a stop to the treading down of Jerusalem by the Gentiles....with the brightness of His coming! I had an Epiphany on this scripture this morning!

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Saints, I truly believe we are this generation spoken of here.

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

All these things Jesus said, and you can find them in Luke chapter 21

The Evil Have But A Short Time to Repent


Do you become discouraged by those who do the works of their father the devil....I certainly do...but I know that there is coming a time in which they will weep when they see their end approaching...some will weep that they rejected God....some will curse HIM.

The wicked so struggle, because they are fighting against God, who tries to reach them in countless ways....They instead seek to substances for artificial means of strength, comfort, and for their own pleasure. Then when the life they lead brings them down, they seek out counselors of many sorts. Who teach them its not your fault, its your parents fault, it's this ones fault, its that ones fault. You need to take care of "you". Then they prescribe them pills to fix things.
Yet they do not seek council from the LORD....
Then there are others who seek to physicians, but not the great physician, they fill themselves with medications, some to lift them up, some to bring them down, some to help them sleep, some to keep them awake....
If you could know the number of so called "Christians" who are on depression and anxiety medications it would blow your mind. Instead of seeking God for His peace, people seek to artificial substances. The sad thing is people don't know how to seek God!

Many spend their time blaming every one in their past, for the condition of their lives....they never own responsibility for their own sin...it's always someone Else's fault.
Well that's not going to wash when they stand before God.

When we each stand before God, we will give account for ourselves, for the choices and decisions we made...there will be no one to point the finger at but ourselves...there will be no "The devil made me do it" defence before the God of all the earth, because He has observed you. He saw and knew the very thoughts and intents of your heart, there will be no bluffing HIM. Then it will truly be over.
Matthew 13:49-50-Jesus said:
49. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I don't know who this is speaking to today, but God does, and I pray it makes you think, and turn to God, and repent before it is to late.

God is Good and He is worthy of our service, even though it means death to ourselves. If we do not want to die to ourselves now, we will die for all eternity..................In HIM is life!

Bring your Thoughts into Captivity Saint of God!


Saints sometimes you just have to say to yourself, "Don’t think on the things of this world" – what might be, or what might happen, that is part and parcel of bringing our minds into subjection to God.

Our lives can become so hectic sometimes just with daily events and trials, and evil reports, that if we allow ourselves, we will be drug into thinking things, that will take us into concern over tomorrow, when we know it is written- "Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof",
"You know not what tomorrow holds, therefore let it take thought for itself"
"bring your thoughts into captivity"
"If it be the Lord’s will we will do thus and so"

Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

James 4:14-15
14. Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

We must trust God in spite of our circumstances, and trust HIM with our future, for only HE knows what tomorrow holds for us. HE will never fail, nor disappoint, for HE is FAITHFUL!

My Zeal for Thine House Hath Eaten Me Up!


Was Jesus zeal and love for His sheep such that He got angry at what he witnessed at times?

Yes absolutely he did, as do we all, if our zeal for the truth is paramount, and we want to protect the sheep of God. Jesus was passionate about His Fathers business.

Jesus was not some spineless wimp, like the majority of so called Christian men today. He did not just stand in a corner and say, "The Lord bless you", and tolerate sin. He did not preach "tolerance". He stood against sin, especially when He found it going on in the very Temple of God!

John 2:13-17
13. And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14. And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15. And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16. And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
17. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

Jesus was eaten up by what He witnessed-eaten up-and he acted on the anger he felt.
Did he sin in the process? Most certainly not!
Do you think He was smiling when He did all this? Most certainly not!
Did Jesus mince his words when he spoke to such transgressors?

Matthew 21:12-13
12. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13. And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Jesus called it how He saw it here. Christians today are so used to tolerating their own sin, and the sins of others, that they forget that our God is a consuming Fire!

There are just some things that are despicable to God and those who make merchandise of His people are on the top of that list. That is why it is written "The zeal of thine house house hath eaten me up!"
