Avoid Those Who Seek To Justify Sin

One thing I have found through the years, since I have been saved, is that those who condone, excuse, and justify sin, in the lives of others, within the body of Christ, have hidden sin in their own lives that they justify to themselves. They think God does not know and is not going to judge, He is, and His judgment will begin with His body.

All that condone sin, shall held accountable for leading people astray from the truth of the Word of God!

I ask you brethren, Leaders, "Do you really want to be responsible for the eternal torment of anyones soul?"

I ask those in sin amongst the brethren, "Why do you hate the Truth so much?"........ it is the Truth that is able to set you free........

This is not the hour, to justify our sins, or anyone elses saints, it is time to repent and turn from our sins. This is the hour in which God is moving, to cleanse and purify His body, and for some it shall not be pleasant, because no chastisement of the Lord is pleasant for the moment.

Saints there are wicked leaders, active amongst the saints of God, seeking whom they can recruit for their own ends, for their own profit. They say to the wicked man, you are right with God, when the wicked man is set to perish in his sin.

The wicked also, seek out those who will justify their sin, and tell them what they want to hear, those who will tickle their ears.

Generally those amongst the brethren, who are in sin, will surround themselves with the luke warm, those who have besetting sin active in their lives.

Beware saints, and try the spirit's of men, ask God for discernment, ask Him to reveal the wicked amongst the brethren.

There are many who on the surface seem Godly, they lift themselves up in the eyes of men, when they are base people, with only a form of Godliness. They are drunken on their own knowledge, intelligence, and ability to draw sheep unto themselves. They are full of every wicked thing, they have mean, spiteful, vindictive, unloving, gossiping, unforgiving and vain hearts, they are full of dead men's bones and pride, and they lack the pure love of God.

Some, God has tried to deal with, but they are self assured people who have hardened their hearts, and chosen to continue in their own ways, thinking themselves to be accepted of God. They are not. Their hearts are not clean before the Lord, and He has found them guilty and He shall spew them out, He shall cut them off, lest they humble themselves and be quick to repent!

God's word says that if any amongst us is in active, blatant sin, and who refuse to turn from it, we are to put that one out from amongst us.

1 Corinthians 5: 9-13
9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13. But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Men are not to gather disciples after themselves, rather they are to be examples, and say, "Follow me as I follow Christ."

A Message To The Luke Warm Apostate Church

The Lord has used me, one of his donkeys, to share His words with the church at different times. I have been mocked, called a gloom and doomer, ridiculed, and flatly rebuked by one pastor. In these things I rejoiced, as it is to be expected when God has something he wants to share, through one of his children, and the church doesn't want to acknowledge, or hear it.

The following was a word the Lord gave me on 5/1/1993. After praying for God to use me, and asking the Lord to let me feed more people, and telling Him I would say whatever He told me to say, I was not expecting the following!

"Stand therefore before the door of my House
and Prophesy saith The Lord......

There is a day coming when they shall seek me,
but they shall not find me.....

For when I called they would not answer,
when I sought them, they would not be found of Me.....

Therefore saith The Lord, They shall cry unto me,
but I shall not be found of them......

For as they have forsaken me,
so shall I forsake them in the day of trouble....."

The message was delivered to the church that I attended at that time. I should mention here that this was a church who's pastor told me when in a discussion on the last days, that the Antichrist did not even have to come, the book of revelation didn't have to come to pass, we could just pray it away. I was told that I was sounding just like David Wilkerson, only he meant it in a derogatory manner. He told me that is why David Wilkerson had been put out of the Assemblies of God because he was too negative to gloom and doom...I don't know if that is true..but God bless brother Wilkerson!
This was a pastor who wanted to take his whole congregation into the local Catholic church for joint worship services.
This was a pastor who brought in an evangelist from, I believe it was Ireland, who told me in a Sunday school class, when in discussion about Mother Teressa, and the catholic church, the following, "Who do you think you are, I'll have you know that the Pope is born again, and Spirit filled."
When asked if that were the case, why did the Pope not come out and tell the people the truth, his exact answer was..."Well you know how it is in the Assemblies of God, he doesn't want to upset their doctrine."......blatently absurd!!! and I might say devishly deceptive. I believe the man to have been an actual apologist for the Roman Catholic church.

This was also a church that was begged to keep standing against abortion, the shedding of innocent blood, in the city of Wichita, and who would not be moved by the pleas.

Sometimes I would ask the Lord, "Oh, Lord couldn't you give me something, "nice" to say," it would be so much easier just to be a pew sitter."

But you know what? I would rather say what the Lord tells me to say, whether it gains me friends or not! ............Our lives are not about pleasing men but pleasing God!

Oh people of God, make Him your priority, make Him your number one, make Him your all in all, before it is too late, and the door is closed, for surely the times of the gentiles are fast coming to a close.....

Currently, America is hanging by a thread, and fast approaching a possible nuclear Holocaust....

As a child of God you have nothing to fear, if God chooses this time to bring you into His eternal presence, you will go from this world into His presence in a flash...remember ...to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord....we need not fear for our small children, and be overwhelmed with worry, God shall overshadow them, and usher them into His Glory! He created them, and He shall overshadow them, by His Holy Spirit as He did Stephen.

Remember the disciples longed to be free of this present earth, and be with Christ in Glory. They were not desperately looking for a place to hide from trouble....they looked forward to being in the presence of the Lord once again.

Don't listen to voices telling you to run here or move there...for there shall be no place to hide...only in Christ, and if necessary, He will open Heaven for you as He did for Stephen, He is the God of all Comfort! It is He that holds our lives in His hands, and we can place absolute trust in Him, He is the one who brought us into this world and He shall be the one to take us out!

As my grandma used to say, "Cheer up my dear, you'll soon be dead." Make the most of today saint of God for His Glory and not your own.

If you are luke warm and you are a part of the Apostate church, or if you are one of the leaders of the luke warm church .....be afraid be very afraid, and repent while there is yet time!

Such Things Should Not Be Once Named Amongst Us-Todd Bentley!

Pray for Bentleys ex-wife and children whom he has cast aside in favour of a new wife and family.

http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2009/03/todd-bentley-marries-woman-whom-he-had-extramarital-affair-with.html

OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW - Photo on the right of your screen shows Todd (or as one said GOD called him.."TAUD") Bentley with his now ex-wife and litttle children.

Photo on the left of your screen shows his former lover, mistress, partner in adultery, and who is now his new wife "Jessa" (she is the young girl with the pink halter top on, and shoulder length black hair, next to the left of the blonde, pictured with other Bentley followers at one of Bentleys crusades)

http://endtimespropheticwords.wordpress.com/2009/03/10/rick-joyner-announces-todd-bentley-remarriage-and-the-start-of-restoration-process-while-begging-for-cash-for-fresh-fire-usa/

Such things as these relating to Bentley should not be once named amongst us saints...let alone be endorsed by so called ministers.

Hebrews 3:13-14

13. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

1 Thessalonians 4:1-4
1. Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

2. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

3. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

4. That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

In this age of fornication, pornography, adultery, drugs, drunkenness, gambling, and wickedness in general...these things ought not to be once named amongst us as the saints of God. Yet these things are named even amongst some Pastors and Evangelists, such as Todd Bentley for one. It seems that men cannot excersize self control...and by this their witness is, "All things are not possible with God", "There is no help in God", "The Lord can not help us overcome", "The Lord cannot deliver us"...

Listen saints the devil is a liar and a deceiver...we can overcome anything in our lives IF we are willing to seek, and submit our selves to God. He will deliver us if we are willing to crucify our flesh...He can take the feelings that the flesh manifests away from us.

He will deliver us from desires, cravings, and all manner of lusts of the flesh...He is able to deliver!

Some it seems, rather than fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold on eternal life, would rather give into their flesh and take their chances on enjoying all life has to offer now. As for Bentley he has set himself for judgment.

What a tradgic state of affairs for the souls of men and women, and this is in the church saints....

1 Peter 4:12-19

12. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19. Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Be Thou Faithful Unto Death And You Shall Receive The Crown of Life

What does it mean to be faithful?

It means to be steadfast in affection or allegiance, to be firm in our adherence to promises made, or in our observance of duty.

We have one duty saints and that is to be faithful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and allow Him to conform us into His image daily.

It also means to be true to the facts, or to a standard or to an original.

The original for us Saints would be the example of Jesus Christ, and His written Word. We must be willing to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and submit ourselves to God.

Synonyms to faithful are: loyalty, to remain constant and consistent, to be staunch in our faith, and remain steadfast and resolute to the end.

It means that what ever the devil brings against us to destroy our faith in Jesus Christ, we are to remain steadfast and faithful unto death.

1 Peter 4:12-19
12. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19.Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Hebrews 10:23-24
23. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24. And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

1 John 1:8-10
8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

He is faithful toward us saints, may we all strive to be faithful to Him and His Word even unto death, that we may be able to cast our crowns at His feet.

Panic -As They Claim Government Will Stop Worship of God

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=88178

There are certainly not many Daniels in the church world today!

The whining in this article is ludicrous. Listen if so called "churches" had not looked to government for help in the first place to expand their earthly kingdoms, none of this panic would be going on.

When will the children of God get it?

You don't look to government to be your help saints of God ...you look to God alone.

If those of you who are now all in a dither, hadn't looked to government to build your big facilities or expand your ministries you wouldn't be in this fix now would ya?

You transgressed the word of the Lord which says, "Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers," and you walked hand in hand with the Godless government.

You looked to Egypt/the world for your help, because God wasn't enough for you, He was not able to provide for you, or so you have shown by your actions.

Its not just the mega churches who hopped on the governments big mammon give away waggon it was a lot of small churches also...they also forsook God as their provider and looked to Pharaoh, showing they didn't think their God was sufficient!

So what happens when you sell your soul to Cessar for mammon, there comes a pay day, and looks like your pay day is here! So stop complaining and repent and don't whine about the position you have put yourselves in. This is only the beginning of sorrows church in America!

Proverbs 24:10

If thou faint in the day of adversity thy strength is small.

If this is making you all a twitter saints of God, how are you going to stand when real persecution comes?

You have built your kingdoms on shifting sand when you should have built them on the solid rock. The winds are coming and the waves are roaring...

You have done what you have done church-repent that God may show you Mercy!

Another False Doctrine-You Can Be Free of Your Sin Nature

There has been a doctrine floating around in the church for quite a few years which I have personally had occasion to witness, and it is this “Through a special sanctification process a person can be made free of their base sin nature, and never commit sin again.” This is a devilish lie.

The idea that we do not need to daily take up our cross, submit ourselves to God, crucify our flesh, and follow Christ, is a deception of the devil.

Satan wants people bound in sin, putting up no resistance to him. It is a doctrine that binds peoples minds with condemnation, and leaves yet others bound by self righteousness.
Where did it stem from?

The following quote is by Brother Dan Mace of Zion’s Trumpet:
“The doctrine of the Second Blessing, or Entire Sanctification began with none other that John Wesley, the 18 century revivalist, from whom sprang the Methodist Church (and its off shoots), the Wesleyan and Nazarene Churches, the Salvation Army, and more. According to Wesley, the Second Blessing is an instantaneous experience that happens subsequent to the new birth, which is the first blessing. When this event happens, the believer is cleansed from all inbred sin which is the same as saying the sinful nature is removed. This experience enables the believer to walk in the same sinlessness that Jesus walked in on this earth. There is no more transgression of any moral law of God. The believer walks in perfect faith (no doubts), perfect hope (complete fullness of joy), and perfect love (no fears).

Wesley preached this doctrine of the Second Blessing to all his converts, constantly encouraging them to seek this instantaneous experience in which their sinful nature would be eradicated and they would receive perfect love. All doubts and fears would be being removed once for all, and there would be no more inward struggle to be holy. After this experience, there is no longer any inward inclination to sin, no inward struggle to fight against the fallen flesh and sinful nature, and in Wesley’s own words, the perfectly sanctified believer now possesses “all the mind of Christ”, with no evil thoughts, doubts, motives, etc Though this may sound like an experience every true Christian would love to have—after all, who among us who hates sin and hungers for righteousness wouldn’t love to be sinless once and for all?—but it is totally unscriptural. Not only is there no mention or any clear evidence in Scripture of this kind of work in the Christians life, there are clear teachings against such a thing.” End Quote

I am so thankful to brother Dan for teaching on this form of false doctrine, he is the first person I have ever heard touch the subject.

My experience with this doctrine is as follows : I witnessed it embraced by one who manifests self righteousness, who desires to appear superior to others, who strives to maintain control and manipulate the souls of the unlearned, by keeping them feeling inferior to their “enlightened” leader.

It seems to be taught amongst many so called "Holiness" movements as well.
This doctrine brings people under condemnation because when people are taught this doctrine and then find themselves being tempted by the devil, and still overcome by their faults, they feel inferior when they are unable to attain to the level of the so called “enlightened” one.

These type of false teachers hold themselves up above the flock, which is a stench in the nostrils of God. It is actually the sin of Pride in these teachers. This sin of Pride is a character trait of all false teachers, pastors and prophets. It is what caused sin to be found in Satan himself. Naturally his ministers are full of Pride. Satan wants people to say, "I am like the most HIGH, I am as God." This is what this false doctrine teaches, "I have no sin nature I am as God."

As long as we the children of God live on this earth, we will face temptation; our base sin nature is not removed. That is why we are instructed in the Word of God to crucify our flesh daily, submit ourselves to God daily, resist the devil daily, and fight the good fight of Faith daily, that is how we are able to endure to the end, and be overcomers, not by some "special sanctification".
Remember the subtlety of Satan:
Genesis 3:4-5
4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Saints Know The Hour In Which You Are Living Part 3

I happened upon this article today: Sun Makes History: First spotless month in a century

Luke 21:25

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;

We have all observed these things occurring in the world today.

Seeing all these things shall be, what manner of persons ought we to be saints.

2 Peter 3:9-14

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Saints Know The Hour In Which You Are Living Part 2

Perplexity of Nations!

From left to right are just some of the nations and countries where perplexity is abundant:

1.Russia-apartment bombings -people seek truth from their government.
2. Turkey bombings

3. Omagh Northern Ireland bombings

4. Israel bombings
5. Iraq bombings
6. Algiers bombing
7. African Embasey bombing
8. Madrid bombings

9. London bombings

10. Twin Towers

As I said in Part 1 of this series, the Lord spoke this word to my heart this morning: "The Sea and the Waves are roaring and on earth there is perplexity among nations."

What does this "Perplexity of nations" mean? Note it does does not say perplexity of a nation it says nations. So God's judgment is not designed for just one nation, but all nations that forget Him.

To Perplex-means to confuse, to cause to be of a confused state of mind, to bewilder. It means to cause to be puzzeled to make difficult, to confound.

(One thing all these terroristic bombings do is bring mass confusion, and they bring terrible fear into peoples hearts. They are a work of the devil, but God allows them, He will bring His judgment upon those who perpertrate such evil. These things come upon nations who forget God.)

Confound-means to be put to shame, to bring to ruin, to destroy, to baffel, to frustrate, to consume, to make waste, to damn, to throw into confusion or perplexity....full circle back to perplex...

God is confusing the nations, he is bringing them to ruin, he is making nations waste. Because each does what is right in his own eyes.

There is a scripture in the Word that says "My people know not the judgment of the Lord." God's people not the world, God's people don't recognize His judgment.

Jeremiah 8:7

Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

Sad as it is, I truly belive that fact that God's own people don't recognize His judgment, who are in denial of His judgment, is because they just cant let go of this World and the things of this world. Many do not want to have to admit the seeds of covetousness in their hearts still.

Saints this world is not our home, saints we are just passing through. How often though do we remind ourselves of this fact?

Look saints I truly believe that if we don't awake to the hour in which we are living we will be deceived.

The Word tells us that mens hearts will fail them for fear, as they look at the things coming on the world. Things are not going to improve in this world saints, things are going to grow steadily worse with each passing day. "Why?" you may say, or you may say, "What a negitive attitude". Listen saints of God it is The Truth Of The Word Of God....It is God's Words not mine.

Yes the true child of God doesn't have to fear, we can rest in the Lord, He told us not to be troubled because these things must happen. The fact that the Lord is soon to return, and every eye see Him should motivate the child of God to be a living witness of His Glory. We should be weeping before Him and seeking more of Him each day saints.

God is very patient saints He is not willing that any should perish, He is giving nations and peoples opportunity to repent of their wickedness, sadly few will.

"Well there ya go being negitave again!" you may say.

No again it's in the Word of God...He said "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" "Many are called but few are chosen"

Jesus said:
Matthew 22:2-5

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise.

The church is making light of the hour in which we are living, they do not recognize the hour. They do not love His appearing, because sadly they love this earth more. Let us pray for one another daily saints as we see the Day of The Lord approaching.

Saints Know The Hour In Which You Are Living Part 1

Saints I have had it on my heart, for many reasons, to understand why these terrible storms and hurricanes are coming upon not just America, but Jamaica, Cuba, and other parts of the world.

I awoke this morning to a word from the Lord, "The Sea and the Waves are roaring and on earth there is perplexity among nations."

Saints God is so very faithful, He knows our hearts, He does not desire that we be ignorant of the times in which we live. Nor saints does He desire that we be ignorant of Satan's devices. I went straight to the word and the Lord began to speak to me. These storms are to be saints, the reason for them is not as some would have us to believe, they are not merely God's judgment upon America alone, they are the days of the vengance of the Lord upon all sin, the beginning of the signs before His return:

Luke 21:20-28

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

21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25And 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;

26Men’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.

27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Saints first I must say, I do not agree with the division of Israel, I know God is not pleased with anyone defying His Word, ( in any manner, on any issue, for any reason), and God will bring His judgment upon all who seek to divide Jerusalem.

I hate sin, however I do not hate the sinner.

I hate a lot of what our president has done, I don't however hate our president.

I don't believe there is anywhere in the Word of God that instructs us to hate anyone, we are to hate sin, we are to be troubled to the point of being broken and weeping over sin. We are to be distraught as Noah was over the sin of his day, but we are not to hate the sinner.

I heard a saint point out other day how in essence there are many basically rubbing their hands together and salivating awaiting the destruction of America. I to have sensed this attitude with some. He also pointed out that he feels their may be witchcraft involved in conjuring up these various storms we are having, I am not going to touch that subject today.

I will say however a big word of caution to those of you who are eager for God to send His judgement, I believe your forgetting one element here, God's judgment will begin with the church, so you'd best be without spot and without wrinkle lest His judgment be upon you first.

I have experienced the character and personality, of some of those who seem over eager for God's judgment to fall upon America, and it has not a pleasant experience. I have sensed great anger, hatred, bitterness, and a fearlessness to rail against any who come against what they say.

God says a root of bitterness rising up will defile many.

I have witnessed, as have others, those who are not afraid to speak evil of dignities, which The Word of God says we are not to do.

These attitudes and behaviours saints are not the mark or the fruit of the spirit, or the fruit which any saint should display. I have found the major component missing with some of these people eager for judgment to fall, is the love of God. The love of God enables us to love our enemies, the love of God enables us to love those who despite fully use us and persecute us. The love of God enables us to love our enemies.

The Lord gave me another word as I was preparing for bible study this morning "He that lacketh these things has forgotten from whence he has come." Again I went to the Word:

2 Peter 1:5-9

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

I pray that God will open the eyes of those who are eager for judgment to fall, lest it fall on them first.

Saints in the past I have had to rid myself of this same attitude, and eagerness to see judgment come, and remember where God brought me from, I was a filthy sinner, and He deemed it fit to save my wretched soul, when i was fit for nothing but the fiery pits of hell.

Judgment will come there is no doubt of that, but saints our priority is to be witnesses of His grace and glory until He comes. We are to stand firm saints and not be troubled by what we see coming on this earth. These things are all leading up to His soon return, so be ready saints, for in an hour you think not the Son of man cometh....Amen...Glory!

I recomend you read a blog post on "Searching His Ways', the link to that blog is posted with recomended blogs, the post is titled, "Tropical Storm Hannah". I feel confident that this brother speaks out of a love for God, the elect of God, a love for the Truth of the Word of God, and a love for the lost.

To be continued.....

Saints What Are We to Be Looking For In this Hour?

The Coming Of the Lord And the New Jerusalem!

The Size of the New Jerusalem is as you can see much Larger than the current Jerusalem.

Oh, how Awesome is our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ!

Look saints, the gates you will enter through have the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. And the wall of the city has 12 foundations and in them the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb....Oh Glory saints, how marvelous are the works of God! Read about this in Revelation 21:12-14

Saints we are to be looking for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is the blessed hope of the saints!

We are to be looking for the Day of God where in will be the judgment of all the Ungodly.

We can take comfort in the fact that Judgment upon all evil will come to pass.
We are to be Looking for the Mercy of God Unto eternal life.
We are to be Looking for a New Heaven and a New Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Looking for The New Jerusalem, The Bride of the Lamb!

Titus 2:11-14
1For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

2 Peter 3:9-14
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Jude 1:14-25
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen.

Revelation 3:11-13
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

13He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 21: 1-5
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3And 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 be with them, and be their God.
4And God 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.
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

Saints God does not give us a spirit of fear, but He gives us a spirit of power, of love and a sound mind. When our hearts are set on Him saints He is able to keep us, through the wind and the rain, through the storms of life, through the fires and the floods. Through the wars and the wickedness that rages all around us, He is able to keep us. Through the pain of death, through life’s struggles, trials, and the taunting of the devil.

For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear you know we are living in the last generation before the return of Christ because you see and hear events taking place daily that were long ago prophesied in The Word of God. Stand firm saints and seek to be pleasing to Him daily.

In The Last Days Perilous Times Shall Come

Perilous means: exposure to the risk of being injured, destroyed, or lost. Now folks this is that day. The wolves out number the sheep and the tares out number the wheat.

2 Timothy 3:1-8
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

The word shall here means it is an absolute, it means it is inevitable.

2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

We live in the most self centered generation that has ever been. We even have pastors teaching their congregations how to better esteem themselves.

While the word tells us to die to ourselves daily, and tells us to hold others in higher regard, and be concerned with promoting others rather than ourselves.

The word tells us to let another's lips praise us and not our own. We are not to be self promoters. We are not to sound a trumpet before ourselves as we go about doing good in Jesus name. We are not to seek the praises of men. We are to do good hoping for nothing in return.

We have a generation that is never satisfied, but covets more, and more, and it is the pastors in many cases that set the example. People are not thankful as they should be, and they have become unholy in the process.

3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

I have never witnessed the lack of natural affection (even between parents and children), the gossip and the backbiting and attack on the saints to such a degree, as I am witnessing it these days.

This lack of affection stems from self love. It stems from a unwillingness to put others before self. Lies false accusations and viciousness are the order of the day between saint and sinner alike. How the righteous are hated and maligned and shunned, in place of those who will tickle the ears, and or praise and agree with the wicked, those who have not received the love of the truth.

I have not seen a day the likes of these days we now live in. I know of so many dreadful situations, where the saints are being tried by the most difficult of circumstances as the devil rages at them in the attempt to steal their faith.

4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

The extent of the covetousness amongst the so called christian community breaks my heart, the snobbery amongst the haves over the have not so much...it is an abomination to God. Mammon has become the god of the hour. We are not to think highly of ourselves, but we are to remember from whence we have been delivered, lest we to perish. Pleasure is the order of the day, and how to entertain the masses, with a christian twist of course.

5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Such a form of godliness amongst those above mentioned is just that "a form" it is a pretencion and is without the Holy Spirit, run from such saints, run. I have witnessed people who hold in high esteem some of todays false preachers and when confronted with the truth of the false teachings, they just shrug and hold tight to their idol, they prefer a lie over the truth.

6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

Those who would have you become just another member of the christian social club, and teach you covetousness, and other ungodly lusts, that lead you to death, are running themselves through with many an arrow, for the love of money is the root of all evil. We are not to love the world or the things of the world. Any one who tells you that you can get to much of Jesus, flee from them.

7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Saints it does not matter how many Sunday school classes, and how many church services you sit through,or how many times a year you read through your Bible...It doesnt matter how many books you pen, how large the following you have, if your heart is not sold out to Jesus Christ and His Truth and will 100%, and the Fruit of the Holy Spirit is not at work in your life you are nothing but a sounding brass and a tinkling symbol. Many seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit, but if the fruit of the Holy Spirit is not active in your life, you can loose your soul.

8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

Saints if you do not love and desire the whole Truth of God, no matter the personal cost to you, then you are also reprobates, and you shall be turned over to believe a lie and be dammed.

Saints many a pastor is not warning his flock of the day and hour in which we are living, these are the last days saints, Christ Jesus our Lord is soon to come. Israel is God's time clock for the last days events, be vigilant saints and look up for your redemption draweth near, and no this is not speaking of a pre-tribulation rapture, if that is what your looking for your looking for the wrong event.

The Trial Of Your Faith

Make no mistake about Satan’s goal for your life Child of God, it is plain and it is simple, Satan wants to rob you of your faith in Jesus Christ, by any means at his disposal. That means he will use anyone or anything to come against you.

Satan knew Job, and saint he knows you, howbeit he may well underestimate the power of Christ that works within you.

From the moment of salvation the Christian is tried, tested, persecuted, proved, refined and purified.

As a Christian if you’re not being tried and tested and persecuted, there is something wrong, because that means Satan does not see you as a threat to his kingdom.

To the devil a new Christian is as fresh meat to a starving lion. A more established Christian is like the challenge of a slow but steady relentless hunt for the same desired result. The true born again Spirit filled Christian is a threat to Satan’s domain.

As stated earlier, Satan’s goal is to rob you of your faith by any means possible, and in case you haven’t noticed he plays dirty. He wants the Christian to feel, fearful, worthless, useless, worried, alone, depressed and defeated, and unloved by God, that’s his job. Make no mistake it is your Faith in Jesus Christ that he wants to destroy.

I believe a grave disservice has been done to the new Christian and the old alike, when they have not been taught, that they have an adversary who will stalk them relentlessly.
Now you may say “Well that’s not a very positive attitude. Why don’t you know, that you just have to rebuke the devil and he will flee from you?”

What I do know is that in any trial, I have to first submit myself, my all, to Jesus Christ.
That I have to resist what ever temptation or what ever arrow the enemy is using to come against me. I have to recognize that this is an all out attack to steal my faith and destroy me.

Now I realize this is not easy as I have often times failed miserably to recognize the enemy’s mode of attack. However with each new attack I have endured and witnessed coming against other children of God, my discernment has become keener, Praise God!!

Satan uses people, he uses governments, he uses our families, those closest to us.
He also attacks our minds, as Paul said the messenger of Satan was sent to buffet him...a constant attack against his mind...but God's grace sustained him, and it can sustain you....we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus...Amen

We have to remember at all times, and in all places that the bottom line is, Satan is out to destroy our faith, our trust in God We must remember also that nothing and no one is to come between us and God. We are expected, and must be willing to forsake all.... family, loved ones, friends, possessions, position, everything if necessary, for the cause of Jesus Christ and our faith in Him.

We have all been birthed into our circumstances on this earth, and that in itself is a test of our faith. It is up to us whether we will complain about our lives (something i have been guilty of in the past) , become absorbed with our problems, and become bitter and resentful against God.
Or whether we will understand that God allowed our lives to be as they are, that we may be tried, tested, and proved, as the children of Israel were tried, and proven, in the wilderness those 40 years, and that we may come forth as gold.

We need not become so tied up in the circumstances that surround us, if we put our Trust in God, but we can look to the eternal, and think on the things to come, that we may be given the strength to stand through what we currently are enduring.

To those who are caught up in circumstance that they feel are beyond their control, remember dear Saint, that your situation is not beyond God’s control, Satan just desires that you believe the God has given up on your situation. God is for you saint of God, and if God is for the child of God, who can then be against you!…Amen

1 Peter 1:3-9
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 4:12-13
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy

2 Timothy 3:12
12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Colossians 3:1-4
1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Children of God this life is not about the here and now, it’s all about the eternal. This life will pass but the life to come, for the Christian, is eternal.
Children of God it will be worth it all when we are in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us not dwell on the things of this earth but of Heaven above…
Amen, and God Bless You all.

What Is Love?

I have found in my life experience that those who speak the most about Love, practice it the least.
Love is much spoken of, yet practiced very little, why?
Because we don’t fully understand what it is.
I also have often found that those in love with love, seldom are in love with “The Truth” of the whole of God’s Word, they tend to only favor the scriptures that fit their view of God. Love is not just some warm fuzzy physical feeling that we get when we get our way, when our needs are met.

Love suffers long and is kind Suffering is not a thing conducive to human nature, let alone the concept of being kind to the one who is causing your suffering. Crucifying the flesh is something that we want to scan over and ignore.

Love does not envy In this age of covetousness even the Christian can become full of envy. They forget the Word that tells us to learn to be content in what so ever situation and or circumstance we find ourselves.

Love is not puffed up Love is not full of its own importance, but rather looks to the things of others. Love doesn’t self-righteously look down on others, thinking them to be spiritually inferior to themselves. It realizes that God uses others, God works through all His children to accomplish His will.

Love does not think evil of another without true cause: Love judges righteous judgment according to God’s Holy Word. Love considers others circumstance and feelings not just their own.

Love is not easily provoked to anger, nor to the need to retaliate, Love remembers that vengeance belongs to God.

Love doesn’t rejoice at the evil it witnesses, but rather is grieved by it. Love realizes the time in which it lives and that the days are evil, Love doesn’t give up, love keeps striving knowing the end reward.

Love rejoices in truth,when it encounters, and bears witness to the truth. Love wants only “Truth”.

Love is patient Love extends the grace to others that it expects God to extend to itself. Love doesn’t have episodes of road rage…waiting in line rage, I was here first, it’s mine rage…

Love forgives Love forgives as it expects its own sins to be covered, forgotten and forgiven by God. Love remembers where God brought it from and extends mercy to others.

Love seeks to edify others, it seeks to encourage and uplift even if its own circumstance may need encouragement, yet may not be receiving it from others. Love understands that in extending itself to meet the needs of others it’s own needs diminish, and often times are met when it is obedient to God’s commands.

Love treats others as it would have others treat them.

Love isn’t self absorbed it is not consumed with learning about self esteem, rather it is more concerned in learning about self-lessness. Love puts others needs above those of itself. Love puts others first.
Love is willing to crucify its own needs, is willing to lay down its life to meet the needs of others.

Love is not "What's in it for me"?

Love trusts God’s plan for their lives, without reservation.

Love bears all things, endures all things, believes all the things of God, put’s all their hope in God. Love behaves in accordance to God's Word.

When we have all these traits down, then we can know what love is.
When we can extend to others what God extends to us, then we can know God.

Oh Taste and See that the Lord is Good!!

It seems that it is becoming ever more increasingly difficult to convince people to taste of the Lord and see that He is Good.
How sad it is when you know someone who's life is in a shambles because of the choices they insist on making, yet when you try to share the Gospel of Jesus with them, well you almost convince them, they almost believe, but then the world and the lusts that war in their souls, wins out and they are dragged back willingly to their old life style. If only they would taste and see that the Lord He is good, then they would find what they have been searching for all their lives.

Apostles & Bishops!

Hey fellow sheep, is it just me, or is there a pandemic of Christians who used to be content being called brother or pastor, now breaking their necks to be called an apostle or a bishop?
It seems that everyone wants to be a chief and no one wants to be a regular Indian (no offense intended to my Indian brothers and sisters).
It seems that the ego of some Christian’s are not content being called a mere sheep, or a brother or a pastor. Some are seeking the title of doctor after their name, thinking they will be better accepted and heard by the masses.
What happened to obedience to the Word of God which says in Mark 9:35 “And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.”?
It seems that no one wants to be a mere servant either, why they say, "We are Kings kids we deserve the very best." Hey fellow sheep we deserve hell fire, it is only by the grace of God that we inherit the Kingdom of heaven.
The church has become like Hollywood, each person clamoring over the other to be come the most important. Every one wants to be seen as doing something greater for the kingdom of heaven.
Don’t those poor folks know that the true sheep can smell a wolf a mile off.
They are digging a pit for others, that they have fallen into themsleves.
They have placed themselves on a pedistal from which they shall tumble.
Luke 14:11 "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. "
There are now schools where for a price you can earn your title of Bishop. Wolves in training!
What happened to Holy Ghost anointed and sent preachers?
I fear folks that for the most part they are a thing of the past.
I used to wonder as I read Matthew 7:22-23 “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” who would have the boldness and gaul to speak to our Lord in this manner.
Now folks I know who they are, the ego ridden wolves of this age.
