Is God Mocked?

Gov Schwarzenegger declares drought emergency



California facing water rationing



Do we as a nation belive that God has changed?

Leviticus 26:3-5
3. If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

4. Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

Leviticus 26:14-15
14.But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

15. And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

Leviticus 26: 18-21
18. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

19. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

20. And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

As is well known, the Californian government, along with many other's in our nation, is more concerned with offending sodomites than offending God, most have more fear of global warming than they do of God. This Californian drought will affect this whole nation....just as flooding in other states will affect crops and affect the whole nation....

The Lord Is Great And Greatly To Be Praised!

Psalm 96
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Psalms 145:18-21

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

The Lord is so Good Saints and His Mercy Endures forever to all them that fear Him and that call upon His name in truth.

The Cries of David Psalm 35

We are not alone in our trials, afflictions and persecutions Saints. The road has been walked by many before us. If your feeling misunderstood today saint of God be encouraged.

Here we have the example of the cries of David in a time of dispair. He had done good to people and receive evil in return. People actually strove against him, they rejoiced in his hurt. These examples are in the word for our edification saints.

Psalms 35-A psalm of David

1. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

God was faithful to David and He is faithul to us saints. Vengance belongs to God alone, He is our defender....Stand fast saints we are in a battle...

Weary Not In Well Doing

Galatians 6:7-10

7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

9. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

10. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

For in due season you shall reap if you faint not....We need patience saints, and we need love... and we need Faith. We should continue to do unto others as we would have them do unto us... and do it with all long suffering and kindness as Christ is longsuffering with us.

We need to take time out of our lives to care for others saints, we need not to be weary in well doing for we shall reap in due season if we faint not. We are to do good to one another saints .. We are to bear one anothers burdens, and do good without thought of return.

We are to suffer long with one another and be kind. We need to extend the love of Christ Jesus and be good examples to those who oppose themselves. We need not to give up on those who are lost in their sin, knowing that God is able to save to the uttermost those who come to Him.

Hebrews 7:25

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

God is ever Faithful...we should never throw in the towel too soon!

Just Don't Touch Those I Idolize!

Who saints is to be our example for living our daily lives?
Whom are we to have faith in?
Whose Word are we to follow?
In whom are we to place our trust?

Then why is it that many feel they must have a man or a woman to follow?

Because they don’t yet understand….God has not brought them to the place where they realize that He is their sufficiency…He is the one in whom they are to place all their trust….He wants to be their All in All...

Many have fallen because they have sought to follow this person or that person, and when that person has discouraged them, or caused them to fall by their bad example…. they loose their faith in God, because their faith has been in man not in God.

Man can be very seductive, very alluring, why else would thousands get sucked into idolizing man. Many in ministry today want to be held up and loved and get a name for themselves, and are willing to compromise the Word of God to attain the favor and adulation of men.

So many who seem well meaning, and who preach good sermons... have underlying goals..they want to leave a legacy, a name for themselves in this earth. This is prevalent in the Kingdom groups.... they seek to emulate the forefathers of this country, when they should be seeking nothing but to be accepted of God, and to emulate Jesus Christ.

Yes we are to give respect to whom respect is due…but we are not to carry that respect to the point where we become blindly trusting of any man or woman and hang on their every word, thinking they can do no wrong….very dangerous position to put ourselves in saints…

What are we to stand in defense of?

Jesus Christ and His Word

What are we to contend for?

The Faith, our Faith in Christ Jesus our Lord

There are many seeking to devour us saints, who have no true love for our souls…only for their own gain. They seek their own disciples to follow them....they take no thought for your spiritual condition...

The Internet is one place today where these things are becoming more prevalent.

It is easy to portray oneself as righteous and all knowing over the Internet. However we can’t see one another’s daily walk, we really don’t know one another. Talk is cheap, we must be on guard saints that we be not deceived…we need discernment in this hour more than any other hour in history.

We should always and only hold Jesus Christ up as all-knowing and full of truth. Every mans words must be held up before the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you do not know a man's walk, then seek God that his ways be made manifest to you.

John 3:19-21

19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

2 Corinthians 4:1-7

1. Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

We are to be as the saints of old as they followed Christ!

Persecuted For Righteousness Sake?

Saints prepare to have your "Rights violated"....listen this struck me as troubling...as children of God we better be prepared to be misunderstood, violated, condemned, persecuted...because "All who live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution"..." Ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake but He who endures to the end shall be saved".....we are to commit ourselves to God, not to attorneys....

The Five Wise and The Five Foolish Virgins

I thought this picture was so cool...it is an oil lamp made out of a rock..to me it speaks volumes for the child of God..because we can not be full of the oil of the Spirit except we abide in the rock...who is our firm and solid foundation...Jesus Christ!

Matthew 25:11-12
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

The foolish virgins were lacking…their lights were not able to shine; they had left their first love…they had turned backward...the Holy Spirit was not ruling them their flesh was...

9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 7:21-27
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

It is not enough to say we love God, we must do His will. If we love Him we will keep His commandments.

22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Matthew 13:41-43

41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

If we do not count Him Worthy of our all now, then He wont count us worthy when He comes.

Matthew 23:27-28

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.

28. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

The scribes and the Pharisees, knew the Word better than most, they used it to sway and control the masses, they appeared to men to be righteous and children of God....yet they were dead in their sin. Man looks on the outward appearance, God looks upon the heart, and knows it, nothing is hidden from Him.

Matthew 24:12-13

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Hebrews 1:9-This is Speaking of Jesus-I recomend you read all of this chapter it is wonderful:

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

This same oil of gladness is poured out upon all who love His appearing, and Love His Truth, and those who seek daily to walk in His ways.

May all those who love Him be filled with the oil of His Spirit.

Romans 6:12-13

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Romans 6:19

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

May we always be willling to yeild ourselves unto God for the perfecting of our souls. May we seek to purify our hearts and minds and bring our bodies into subjection to God. May we exhort one another daily...

Received This E-mail Today, Judge it Saints!

Interesting ........ Remember, No comment here, I'm just the Messenger

President Barack Obama has signed an executive determination allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to resettle in the United States.

Sure, what can go wrong when we allow hundreds of thousands of people who have been, as Mark Steyn memorably described, "marinated" in a "sick death cult," who voted for Hamas, and 55% of whom support suicide bombings live here and at theAmerican taxpayers' expense:

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to thePalestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.

The "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in theUnited States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4. President Obama's decision, according to the Register, was necessitated by "the urgent refugee and migration needs" of the"victims."

Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals whohave displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic ResistanceMovement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

Let's review some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since he was inaugurated a little more than two weeks ago:

* His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas,leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.

* His first one on one interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.

* He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.

* He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.

* He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind theUSS Cole and 9/11.

* Today we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to and live in the U.S. at American taxpayer expense.

Anyone else see a pattern here ? End Quote

I've Found A Friend in Jesus He is Everything To Me

Click the link above to sing along!

Not sure that the "apple tree of trees" phrase is in the origonal song...this was just pointed out to me 6/3/2011...honestly I had not noticed it back in 2009....not sure why this person put that verbage in the song...
I've found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Apple-tree of trees, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay,
He tells me every care on Him to roll:
He's the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower;
I've all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal:
He's the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He'll never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear,
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:
He's the Apple-tree of trees, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

Australian Government to tax number of household toilet flushes

Pretty soon all the global warming folks will have us digging holes in our back yards.

Not on only have we turned back from serving God but we have become backward in our knowledge and He is causing us to become lunitics!

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.

New York Muslim Beheads His Wife

NY muslim beheads his wife

Quote from article:
"Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light." end quote

What is it with Muslims and this beheading stuff?

It would be interesting to find out if this mans wife had perhaps recently converted to Christianity. Perhaps she just wanted to be free of an abusive husband.

Revelation 20:4

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

The Muslim way of executing people evidently plays a major part in end time prophecy.

Are We To Make Those Who Are In Sin Comfortable with Their Condition?

Some Church Signs actually Say Something Worth the Read!

Some quotes are worth sharing. A friend brought this excellent quote to my attention recently. It is from an article by Steve Lumbley of ApostasyWatch.com, to read the full article on Jack Hayford: http://www.apostasywatch.com/wolves3/page5.html.

Make Them Comfortable

God forbid we should ever make a sinner uncomfortable in our presence. The early church leaders sure could have learned a thing or two from this guy. Stephen speaking before the Jewish Council in Jerusalem explained God's plan of salvation starting with Abraham. His sermon culminated with these words:

"Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers.."

Acts 7:51-52

This made them so uncomfortable these unbelievers responded like this:

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth………….Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him…… Acts 7: 54-57-58

In Acts chapter five we find an even more telling passage:

And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. And by the hands of the Apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all in one accord in Solomons porch). And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

Acts 5: 11-13

Does that sound like the apostles made unbelievers comfortable?
No they were so uncomfortable they were afraid to join them.
Are there any churches or preachers today that display so much power unbelievers are afraid to enter in with them?” End quote

The fact that Jesus preached against sin, is what so aggravated the religious that they ordered for him to be killed. They weren't interested in dealing with their sin, they were looking for deliverance from the opression of their government. They wanted a KING!

John 15:20-25
20. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

Today in this hour it seems that many preachers do not preach against sin, lest they offend those who supply their mammon. They want to be liked, and remain popular with their followers; they want to keep their congregations their audience. Preach a soft gospel and you will have many admirers. Speak the truth about sin to people, and even your friends will flee from you.

Many preach elements of the truth but how many preach, “ Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:7-10 this saints, was a message to the saved not the unsaved.

Many times it has been revealed that the reason a preacher will not preach against sin, is that there is sin in their own lives that they do not want to deal with. Jim & Tammy Bakker were soft preachers because their lives were full of sin. At least they new enough, that unless they were willing to get the beam out of their own eye first, they certainly could not see clearly to remove the speck out of their brothers eye. So therefore they left sin alone, and concentrated on the blessings of the Gospel.

Anyone, saints of God, who doesn’t love you enough to speak the truth of the Word of God to you, doesn’t love you at all. Anyone who will not warn of the wages of sin is a wolf, not a shepherd.
Saints, Jesus did not say we would be loved for sharing the truth, He said we would be hated.

Rebellion & Stubbornness

These pictures show Todd Bentley & Jay Bakker (son of Tammy & Jim) proudly showing off their tattoos. It is easy to see the rebellion and stubbornness in these men, because it is in our faces. Yet rebellion and stubbornness lurks in the hearts of many a saint of God today.
These men may feel they are rebelling against society, or being perceived as cool, but in fact they are rebelling against God, and so are we saints anytime we rebel against God and His Word.

I do not share these following things with you today to condemn anyone, but that the saints of God would think on these things and take them before God.

1 Samuel 15:22-23
22. And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Hearken, means to give respectful attention in other words listen and do what God say to do.
Be a doer of the word and not a hearer only!

23. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Anything that is born in rebellion against society, against what we know is right, is that which is rebellion against God, and is sin.
When we do what we believe is right in our own eyes, knowing it is not what is right in God’s eyes, it is stubbornness.

When ever we quench the Holy Spirit when He is trying to bring us under conviction and we say, “I will do what I want regardless, I don't care what people think” then we are in danger of the judgment. Both these fleshly traits will send us to Hell.

We don’t want to be a part with the workers of iniquity, so let us repent and turn from our wicked ways, and not continue to justify our sin before God.

For some, they get thrill out of doing something that is considered wrong in the eyes of God, and his people. They like to be seen as cool in the eyes of society. It is partially the thrill they get that drives them as much as being acknowledged as cool. Then however the bondage comes. Sin brings death.

I know from personal experience:

When I was a teenager I thought smoking was cool, I was not of age to smoke, but one day was able to get some cigarettes from an older friend. I hid behind my father and stepmothers house and took my first puff, the adrenaline rush was a thrill, I was doing something I was not supposed to do, and seeking not to get caught.
The first puff was a disaster a sputtering choking horror.
My stepmother returned home, and saw the smoke rising from the side of the house. I got caught...it made me feel like a helpless martyr...which I was not, I was a rebellious, godless fool. .

As the years went on I not only increased my smoking, (having to chew gum at the same time, because I didn't like the taste of the cigarettes-how dumb is that?!) I smoked up to 2 packets a day. (I know what it is like to be in bondage, but I also know that when we want to be free, and we seek God He will set us free.) I went on to add drinking as well..under aged drinking...and became more of a rebellious fool. Many a sorrow was heaped upon me because of my sins.

In later years someone we knew grew pot and I having not ever tried any drug outside of cigarettes and alcohol, I thought it would be so cool to try some, so they brought some for me to try...yes I certainly was a big time idiot-with bells on!

The one and only experience I had with pot, thank God, was a horrific one (other wise I would have been fool enough to continue in that sin). As I inhaled the joint I could feel my heart beating in my throat, I thought I was going to die. I began to laugh, but it was like something had control of my body and was laughing through me...I did not feel the human emotion you feel when you laugh. Since that day I have been struck with migraines.... There is a spirit that comes upon a person through all drugs....
A person may say well pot it is a natural plant God means for us to use. Arsenic is a natural plant but we don't smoke that do we!
Listen lets be real, we all know what is right and what is wrong, we just don't want to admit it. We justify our sins because they bring us a false comfort, and a sense of fleshly pleasure, but they will take us to hell if we are not willing to forsake them.

Sadly there are even those who are now addicted to tattoos, and even body piercings, they can't get enough.

Our bodies are the temple of the Most High God therefore we should honor Him in all our ways in our bodies.

No we haven't covered all sins against our bodies, and against God, here today, and there are plenty enough to go around.... however, I pray that this blog will make us all think....
Saints of God we do not have time to indulge our flesh, the Lord is soon to return, we need to set aside all the sins that so easily beset us, and run with patience the race that is set before us.....Seek God saints...Love in Christ-Seed Sower!

Saints of God, We Are More than Conquerors through Him Who Loves Us!

The Lord used His word to encourage me this morning, I hope this will also encourage you today.
Romans 8:31b-39

……..If God be for us, who can be against us?

32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

We are given all things saints that we need to endure in this life, and to overcome the enemy of our soul, and to stand guiltless before the throne of Grace. Every need we have is met in Jesus.

33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

Though all hell may come against us saints, the accuser of the brethren is rendered silent before God who is our justifier, and the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk in His spirit. I thank the Lord that even in the times when we are unable to lift a prayer for ourselves; He is making intercession for us to the Father. He is praying that our faith fail not.

35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Saints, Satan roams about daily, seeking whom he may devour. He gathers all the forces at his disposal, in his attempt to bring down the children of God. Can he succeed with one in Christ?….

37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nothing saints of God can separate us from the Love of God!

Are We To Warn The Wicked Amongst Us?

God spoke to Ezekiel and gave him instruction To Warn the Wicked Amongst God's People:

Ezekiel 3:17-21

17. Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

18. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

20. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

21. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Is this a charge given exclusively to Ezekiel or is it relevant for us in the body today?

If we see someone on the broad path, are we in love (with our own hearts clean before God) to give them warning?

Are we to reach out in love to those amongst us who are in sin and error, or just turn our backs?

Are we to share the whole truth of the Word of God with people, or are we to hide that which they might find offensive?

Are we to compromise the truth in order to be accepted by man?

Jude 1:21-23

21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22. And of some have compassion, making a difference:

23. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

1 Corinthians 5:11-13

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.

Luke 6:42

Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.

1 Corinthians 6:2-3

2.Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3Know ye not that we shall judge angels?

Perhaps it is because there is so much sin and compromise in the lives of those in the body of Christ today, that they fear exposing sin in the lives of others, least they themselves be judged. It is a dangerous time that we are living saints of God, may we cleanse our hearts and purify our minds that we may be found worthy of Jesus Christ our Lord.

A Government De-Void of Godly Wisdom!

Ever notice how the further a nation, any nation gets from the One True God, the dumber they get?

These godless people who formed and worked to pass this bill in the end will wail and grind their teeth to powder.

Psalms 9:16 -17
16. The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.Higgaion Selah
17.The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Arlin Spector who is one of the formers-is a big supporter of George Tiller our local infamous Abortionist...another is-Kenndey-well his works, like others, follow him- none fear God. These people do not know how to do that which is good, therefore they are cursed with a curse, as are all who transgress the commandments of God..except they all repent they shall all perish.

Psalms 119:21
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

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.

A Double Minded Man Is Unstable In All His Ways

Picture shows Buddhist god's.

How could one bow down to these gods and think they are simultaneously worthy of Jesus Christ?

Evidently there is an Anglican Clergy member being ordained as a Bishop who is also a practitioner of Buddhism, and sees no conflict!

This is such blatant in your face idolatry and blasphemy that is almost incomprehensible.

This article in Christian Wire reveals that he is not the first Anglican Clergy member to have dual faith, there has been one who was a Druid, and one who was also a Muslim.....
http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/13689389.html

How can anyone who knows Christ consider themselves...Dual-faith?

This Bishop is a double minded man and and idolater... and he's leading people in the Anglican church?

James 1:8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

1 Corinthians 5:11-13
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.

HELLO Mr ANGLICAN Bishop can you not read the Word of God?

Or maybe be it is that God has blinded you, because you have obviously not received the love of the TRUTH?

Ephesians 5:5-17
5. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9. (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10. Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

It is not God's will that you be Dual-Faith...it is God's will that you serve Him alone. What part of "Thou shalt have no other God's before me" doesn't this blind man not understand?

Exodus 20:3-5
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

If you do these things Mr Bishop you HATE GOD, is this not clear enough for you?

Luke 6:39-Jesus speaking
And he spake a parable unto them, "Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? "

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

This so called Bishop has damned his own soul through his double mindedness and his rejection of the Truth of the Word of God. Truly this is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Saints of God if you have even a small souvenir Buddha in your home get rid of it today!

Classic Double Talk Mr Obama, What is ABORTION If it is not the TAKING of an INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE?

Obama speaks at the National Prayer Breakfast

and says, "There is no god who condones taking the life of an Innocent human being"

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/feb/05/obama-says-faith-shouldnt-be-used-to-divide/

Wrong! the pagan god Baal, for just one, is all for the taking of innocent human life.

This man doesn't know his gods, nor does he it seems know Jesus Christ, nor does he know the Word of God.

Obama himself is pro-abortion-what is that? It is taking the life of an innocent human being!

Obama has just nominated lawyer David Ogden for a #2 position in the Attorney Generals office, this man is strongly pro-abortion....http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=88234

Listen folks if it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, and it swims like a duck, but it clucks like a chicken..it's still a duck!

The Most High God is against the taking of innocent human life and this is what He says:

Proverbs 6:16-17

16. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, ....

Proverbs 24:11-12

11. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

12. If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Mr President what do you think your doing when you pass laws to make it legal to murder the most innocent among us-you are guilty of shedding the blood of the most innocent amongst us. Sir you are putting your soul and continuing to put this Nation in danger of the judgment.

Muslim Demonstrators Humiliate British Police-CAUTION-Godless language-WAKE UP AMERICA!

Where is the Love of God in this? These Muslims are not a peaceful people, this video speaks as to what type of people they are, overflowing with hatred.

He that hates his brother is a liar, and he that does not love his brother does not even know God, for God is Love, and Love works no ill toward his neighbor.

These people are not out as they say to "Free Palestine", they are out to kill Jews, and annihilate the nation of Israel. They are full of the spirit of murder. They are puppets of Satan to destroy God's people.

Liberal America, this will be us next!

Our enemies have entrenched themselves in this country while we have slept.

Romans 13:10-14

10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Is God Soverign In The Affairs of Men?

This blog is inspired by a comment received today on my "Sarah Palin-Queen Esther?" blog from 10/08/08.

Saints I ask you does God sit hopelessly in Heaven, impotent, bewailing the situations on the earth, helpless to do anything about it, powerless to any longer deal with the hearts and affairs of men?

Does He wring his hands in despair depending solely upon the saints of God to get things accomplished on His behalf?

Is God wringing His hands over Obama being our President?

Does He feel like its all our fault and He is now powerless?

Does He place the blame on the votes cast, or not cast on the part of the church for Obamas Presidency?

Honey, we could have all cast 50 votes each, against Obama, but if God did not have a purpose for Obama being in power believe me, he would not have his current position.

Listen saints, we need to make up our minds, is God all powerful in the affairs of men...or he is completely impotent?...simple as that!

What does the Word of God say about the Sovereignty of God?

Daniel 2:20-22
20. Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21.And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22. He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Daniel 4:17
17.This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Daniel 4:25 -This was during the time God dealt with King Nebuchadnezzar
That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

Saints has God changed the way He does things? ...NO

Daniel 4:35
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

Imagine that- God doing His will among the inhabitants of the earth- independantly of the "Church"

We pray, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven” but do all believe what they pray, do people want their own will or Gods to be done?

Proverbs 21:1
The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Romans 9:17-28
17. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20. Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21. Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

My goodness-same God-unchanged-still in control!

God is sovereign! He has given this nation into the hands of the one He has chosen, in spite of us saints, His will, has prevailed. God is bringing us to a time of mourning and repentance, and His desire is to turn our hearts wholy to Him.

One of these days He will give the whole world into the hands of the Anti-Christ, the one world leader. Saints you can pray until your blue in the face, but it shall come to pass, because it is His will and it is written.

As children of God we have one duty: To love God with all our heart, mind and soul and to love our neighbor as ourselves.

If we love God we will keep His commandments, we will trust Him, we will acknowledge that He is in control, and we will do His will. …amen

If you believe like some, that Obama is the Messiah, and you just love him, remember that as a dear friend told me, “They didn’t crucify Jesus because they liked Him” also when the whole world loves you, and speaks well of you...be afraid be very afraid.

Many, like some of todays christians still do, expected Jesus to take over the government.

The Jews were looking for a king who would release them from the oppression of the Romans. That is the same thing the church is looking for today, they want to take over the government and legeslate righteousness. They want to keep their prosperity and their lifestyle, they just want to keep doing things their way, and they want the world to at least have a form of godliness...listen saints the law couldn't keep people from sinning, and governements legeslating righteousness cant keep people from sin.

The scribes and the Pharisees didn’t want to be told that it was their hearts that needed to be cleaned up. They wanted to keep living the religious lives they lived, yet be free of their Roman oppressors.

Jesus was preaching the kingdom of God, and they were interested in an earthly kingdom.

He was offering them freedom from sin, but they weren’t willing to humble themselves before God, they were satisfied with their form of godliness.

Jesus was trying to teach them they could have freedom in Him in spite of their oppressors, but they didn’t want to hear that, so they killed the one who had come to set them free, and give them eternal life.

The following is a quote from the late Corrie Ten Boom-1974
"Sometimes I get frightened as I read the Bible, and as I look in this world and see all of the tribulation and persecution promised by the Bible coming true. Now I can tell you, though, if you too are afraid, that I have just read the last pages. I can now come to shouting "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" for I have found where it is written that Jesus said, "He that overcometh shall inherit all things: and I will be His God, and he shall be My son." This is the future and hope of this world. Not that the world will survive – but that we shall be overcomers in the midst of a dying world."

Saints we can't put off the tribulation, just as we couldn't put who we desired in office, but we can trust our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to see us through it all. He is our hope not any worldly leader....Amen..He who endures to the end shall be saved.
