SILENCE IS ACCEPTANCE

I knew a guy who was arrested for being an accomplice to a crime which he actually had no part in.   He simply knew the man who had committed the crime and saw him commit the crime without trying to stop him from committing the crime and without reporting the crime to the police.

When he was arrested he didn’t understand why he was being arrested asked for answers and was told that even though he did not take part in the crime he was just as guilty as the one who committed the criminal act because he made no efforts to stop him or to report him to the police.

Therefore according to law a person doesn’t have to commit the actual crime to be guilty they only have to see it done and remain silent while it is being committed.

Christians when we see sin and wickedness being committed all around us by family members, friends or even strangers and say nothing to warn them of the consequences of their actions or do nothing in attempt to encourage them not to do it we make ourselves a party to their sinful deeds and are considered an accomplice by our inaction and silence.

By our silence and failure to speak out against sin we condone sin and show no love for the sinner, by our silence we show no hatred for sin.

“When I say to the wicked, 'You wicked person, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.”   Ezekiel 33:8

“Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.”   Psalm 97:10

 “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”   Proverbs 8:13

“ “save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”   Jude 1:23

Brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ as faithful children of God we must hate all sin with a passion.   We must love all sinners with a passion and we must speak out against all sin with a passion.

We must remind sinners of the serious consequences of their sinning, we must encourage sinners to repent and turn away from their sinning.

Under no circumstances no matter the cost to us should we watch them live in their sins and die in their sins remaining silent.

For God has said,” I will hold you accountable for their blood.”   Ezekiel 33:8

CONFESSING LOVE FOR JESUS CAN GET YOU HURT

One of my favorite caps is becoming dangerous to wear.   I never thought to see the day come in America when saying I love Jesus would bring persecution and harm to that person.

The name Jesus has become such a hated word in America that it provokes demons in human bodies to commit acts of violence against the children of God.

Now it is become so clear what Jesus meant when He said,” And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

Mark 13:13

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

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”   Revelation 13:7

“beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;  

Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.”   Daniel 7:21-22

America in such a short time has become like the other evil heathen nations of the world and Satan has been invited into the hearts and lives of so many and acts of criminal, sinful immorality have become so common among American citizens that America has removed herself from being a godly nation to an ungodly place of demonic horror.

If anyone cannot see what is happening in our beloved country they are blind and Satan has blindfolded them spiritually so that they cannot see the truth.

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”   Daniel 11:32

Now Satan thinks that he is in control and that he has won the war against the children of God but he deceives himself because the war is not over until Jesus returns and that is only a short while away.   Remember this God is still in control and always will be in control God has never given up His control over the earth and her inhabitants no matter how much Satan tries to convince you that he is in charge.   Satan may have some control over those who through the lusts of their sinful flesh have given themselves over to him while rejecting God and His authority.   Keep in mind the war is not over yet but it has already been settled in heaven God has determined Jesus the winner victory is signed in the blood of Jesus, sealed in the Holy Ghost and confirmed in the living word of God.

God is only allowing Satan to finish playing his last hand and sin and wickedness in the minds and hearts of humans to finish running their course and in God’s time He will say enough is enough Son go get my children and finish striking the final blow to end all sin and wickedness in the earth take your rightful seat ruler over all things you are king of Kings and Lord of Lords over all kingdoms of the earth and your righteous kingdom shall never end.

Note that the word of God says,” the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”   And Jesus said,” he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

So children of God be proud that you are a child of God, be glad that you can suffer persecution for the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and your love for Him, be strong in the Lord, set your heart and mind to endure until the end.   Because the war with Satan, sin death and hell was won the very moment that Jesus went to that cross for your sins and mine, the very moment He raised Himself from death to life and left the tomb of death empty Satan was defeated.

Jesus said,” These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”   John 16:33

Yes I shall go on wearing the caps that I love, I shall go on testifying of the name that I love and I shall go on living my life for God even to the point of death by the hands of the wicked if that is the will of God for me.

My heart is fixed, my mind is set and because I know that He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world because I know that the Holy Ghost in me has power to cause me to endure until the end.   I shall stand on my faith in God, in the word of God and in the Son of God.

“He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.”   Psalm 62:6

You too would do well to settle it in your own heart and mind to follow the winner of this war get as close as you can to Jesus because we haven’t seen nothing yet times are going to get much harder, persecutions much more fierce, troubles much more greater this the greatest of all tribulations the world has ever seen is going to affect with terrible consequences both those who love God and those who don’t.

Only those who put their trust in God follow Jesus being truly born again of His Holy Spirit and having His confirmation in you that indeed you are a child of God.   And you are living in and walking in the true Spirit of Jesus will survive the tribulations that are fixing to break out upon this present evil wicked world and are already taking shape in the Middle East among the nations assembled for battle there.

By the signs that I am seeing in the heavens and on the earth I am convinced that the battle of Armageddon is at hand I am also convinced that the coming of the Lord Jesus is at hand, by what I see Satan doing in the earth and in the lives of his willing subjects I know that he knows his time is short and it will all be over soon.

No one will escape the final consequences that Satan and sin has brought upon this earth except the children of God who have been born again of His spirit washed in His word and saved by His blood only those who truly personally know Him and are living in complete obedience to His word will be saved.

How is it with you?   Are you ready for the judgment day?   If you are not there is no better time than now to prepare yourself God has made it so simple for you.

“ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”   Romans 10:9-10

If you will do this in humbleness repenting of all your sins before God with sincerity of heart you will become a child of God a member of the winning team of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Are you Ready?

The one most important fact and event that happens in all of our lives.   There is absolutely no escaping this event for any of us!   We are all born to die from the day of our birth the countdown to our death begins.

Most live out their time just existing day to day wasting every precious moment sinning their gift of time away.   We can have no life until we have died.   We must die to sin in order to live in Jesus.    And no one really lives apart from God and His Holy Spirit.   A person can breathe by the grace of God and have a miserable existence until death claims their body.   But to live, really live a person can only do that in Jesus Christ the Lord.   We can die one of two ways but there is only one way we can die and yet live.   We can die to sin by repenting of our sins and turning away from our sins never to live in them anymore, be born again in the Holy Ghost of God to live a new life in the spirit and power of Jesus Christ the Lord.

Or we can continue to exist in our sins allowing them to destroy our mind, body and soul in death and after that suffer the consequences of our sins in eternal hell fire which God prepared for Satan and the sinning angels that follow him.   They have no choice their destiny in hell is sealed.

We humans are the only part of God’s creation that He gives mercy and grace to choose life or death heaven or hell.

We can choose to die in our sins or to live in Jesus. 

 I personally  choose to live in Jesus.   I am dead to sin but very much alive in Jesus Christ my Lord and savior.   “   For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”   Philippians 1:21

If you are reading this post and watching this video you are faced with a decision that is a life or death matter.   What is your choice?   What will you do with the truth you see here?

Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life.   God said it not me,” Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”   John 14:6

What will you do with Jesus?

SATAN IS A LIAR

There is absolutely no excuse for those who sin and disobey the word of God.   When we all stand before the final judgment of God giving account for the lives we have lived and are confronted with the wasted lives we have lived in sin and disobedience to the word of God.   We will stand before Him our creator without valid excuse.   Whether we have done good or evil we all will stand face to face with God to be judged according to the deeds done in our body.

“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”   Romans 14:12

“ And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof THOU SHALT SURELY DIE.”   Genesis 2:16-17

“ Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, HATH GOD SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN?

 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, GOD HATH SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF IT, NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT, LEST YE DIE.

 And the serpent said unto the woman, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE:”   Genesis 3:1-4

Adam and Eve knew the word of God when Satan confronted them in the Garden of Eden yet they chose to believe a lie of the devil and suffer the consequence of their sin being thrown out of the Garden of Eden Paradise receiving death the consequence of their sin and disobedience to the word of God.

Isn’t it true that many people in the world today know the word of God?   And yet chose to believe the lies of Satan be damned to a devils hell fire losing their place in heaven’s paradise receiving death the consequences of their sins for disobedience to the word of God.

What about the many  members of today’s modern day Christian denominations knowing the word of God yet they choose to believe the lies of Satan, twisting meaning of what God really said, distorting God’s word deceiving themselves and others by their own interpretations and doctrines, changing God’s word to make it appear to say what God has not said, adding to the word of God what God did not say in order to convince themselves that their sin is okay and ease their conscience of the consequences of their sins, removing or taking away parts of the word of God to make God’s word appear to say what God does not say.

Humans can change God’s word to suite themselves but this will never change God’s word.   Humans can twist, distort the Holy Scriptures to appear approval for their sins.   But none of this will ever change God’s hatred of and judgment of sin.   They can rewrite the Bible to fit their own religion and beliefs none of this will get a sinner into heaven or keep a sinner out of a devils lake of hell fire.  

Only the Holy Bible written by Holy God interpreted by the Holy Ghost will change a person’s life save a soul from sin, death and hell give them right to the kingdom of God in heaven.

“But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”   1 Peter 1:25

Go on confessing with your mouth what a good Christian you are while you know your heart is far from Jesus living your life like the devil.   Go on eating slop from the pig pen of this world poured out to you by Satan, when you could be eating of the tree of life in Jesus Christ the Lord.    Go on believing the lies of Satan and being deceived in your sinful wicked ways hardening your heart against the truth of God’s word.   Go on feeling comfortable in your sins and telling your conscience that everything is all right so that you can feel good in what you are doing in the lusts of your flesh while you starve your spirit to death.

“ GatesBlessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.   Revelation 22:14-15

Because there is a day coming for you and it is not far off when you will die stand before Almighty God your creator and mine to hear the voice of God spoken to you and you will be judged by His word that you know and have refused to obey and follow in your life here on earth.

So you think that you can confess to be a Christian and that makes you a Christian and everything will be alright with you come judgment day while you have no real love for or meaningful  relationship  with the heavenly Father and Jesus His only begotten son.    Listen to the voice of Jesus Lord God Almighty and let Him clear that matter up for you.

“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.

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.”   Matthew 7:21-23

Think seriously about what is said here and then go on and do what you will do concerning what you have read.   But when you face the consequences of your choice and actions do not say that you do not know the word of God.   You have no valid excuse or explanation to give God when it is your turn to answer for your life.

God has given you His word, God has given you His love, God has given you His mercy, God has given you His grace, God has given you His breath and life fills your body.

God has made it possible for you to live a good life above sin saved from the bondage of sin, and offered you His forgiveness of your sins so that you can enjoy His blessings and not His curse, His love and not His wrath, eternal life in the paradise of heaven not eternal death in a devils hell.

All of this He offers you through the sacrificed blood and body of His dear Son and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

God will do no more to save you than He has already done through Jesus.   The rest of your salvation is up to you.   You have heard His word you know His word.    What will you do with His word?   What will you do with Jesus?   Who said,” Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”   John 14:6

Will you follow Him fellowship with Him live in and through Him loving relationship with the heavenly Father and His Son and go to heaven He has prepared for all them who love Him and obey Him?   Or will you continue letting Satan deceive you with his lies, deny the truth, the way and the life die in your sins and go to the devils hell which you have prepared for yourself?

Wherefore come out from among them

You will have to search far and wide to hear this kind of preaching in today’s world but this is the old fashioned gospel that brought many of my generation to the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ.   And all the generations before me.

Todays watered down luke warm messages that tickle the ears of the hearers, condone their sins and compromise the true word of God will lead no soul to salvation.

In many Christian churches of today some of the most prominent preachers and Christian denominations in today’s world have allowed so much of the sinful practices of the world into their lives that one can see no difference from those who call themselves Christian and those who are proud to be called atheists and sinners.

Christian leaders and their congregations have listened to the voice of Satan’s lies and fallen for this we must be inclusive doctrines of men believing that all religions are of the same God as the Christian God and they have forgotten that God’s word says,”    Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”   2 Corinthians 6:17

No one can be saved until they fall in love with the true savior, no one can be saved until they hear the word of the love of the true and only God, no one can be saved until they feel in their heart the convicting power of the Holy Ghost of God and it is the Holy Ghost who anoints the preaching of the preacher who gives God’s warning message of the eternal consequences of living a life of sin as well the blessings of God upon the faithful righteous who overcome sin endure until the end and reap the pleasures and treasures of heaven.

One must love God, one must fear God for He is an awesome God, He is a jealous God, He is the God who hates all sin and will not tolerate the sinful heart of His human creation.

This is why He separates His children from the rest of the sinful world and demands holiness and obedience to his word and will.   “He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,”   2 Timothy 1:9

This is why the preacher of God’s word must preach the full and true message of the Holy Bible.   We must tell of Gods wondrous love, we must warn of God’s hatred of sin, we must tell of God’s judgment and wrath pronounced upon the rebellious un humble, un repentant we must tell of the glories of heaven and we must warn of the awfulness of a devils hell fire which God prepared for Satan and the angels who rebelled against His Supreme authority and sinned.   Which shall also be the place of those who follow Satan in his rebellion and sin until the day they die.

This is the gospel the only true gospel of God and the Lord Jesus Christ and absolutely no one will be saved who does not humble themselves before God repent of their sinning and live a life of righteousness unto God through being born again of the Holy Spirit of Jesus and following Jesus in truth and obedience to His word.

Where this gospel is not being preached and lived is there any wonder why this generation has fallen away from God?   Is there any wonder why this generation does not love, fear and respect the authority of Almighty God?  

Many of today’s preachers and pastors have become so fearful of preaching the whole truth of the gospel because they are afraid of losing some members of their congregations if not all of them.   They are fearful of losing large sums of money that allows them to live like kings and queens so they preach a comfortable luke warm message that will not offend anyone and it keeps their congregation growing.

You can always tell the true Christian church where the full gospel of Christ is preached because you can usually count the heads of the members on two hands they are going to always be small in number where the hell fire and brimstone message is preached because it hurts some feelings to hear that our loving God has a place prepared for sins punishment.   He didn’t intend it for His human creatures but it is reserved for all who live a life of sin and He has given us the freedom of choice.   God’s word shows us about the glories of heaven and about the awfulness of hell and He gives us the option of deciding which we prefer.

Let me tell you this the whole Bible is offensive to all sinners God intends to offend the sinner in order to save their soul.   “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”   Hebrews 4:12

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”   Jude 1:3

Love me or hate me, hear me or close your ears to me, read my blog and Facebook posts or skip over them but know that anyone who knows me will get the truth of what the Holy Ghost sends from my lips and writes upon my heart.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.’   Romans 1:16

I had rather scare them from the church house by the preaching of the gospel if that is the way they want to go than to have a house full un repented sinners because of my failure to preach the whole word of God and be held  responsible and judged by God for helping to send their souls to hell.

You see I love God I love the relationship I have with Jesus I love following Jesus where ever He leads me and obeying what He instructs me to say and do.

I also fear God more than any man because He is Supreme Creator who holds the power to destroy both body and soul in hell.

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   Matthew 10:28

Did you know that there is a better healthcare plan than Obamacare?

Did you know that there is a better healthcare plan than Obamacare?   It is offered without cost to you the price has been paid in full for life by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.   Its benefits are never ending and it will not be cancelled or dropped so long as you follow the instructions in the policy manual (Holy Bible).   

However you will pay a penalty for not accepting it like you do for not accepting Obamacare.   With Obamacare you will pay a high premium rate in dollars for signing on and a high tax in dollars for refusing to sign on.   But the plan I am talking about is not forced on you, you have the freewill to choose and it will cost you nothing but to repent of your sins and follow God’s path of righteousness.  

However rejecting God’s plan will cost you your soul in damnation of hell for eternity and that is a pretty big price to pay.

But it will give you coverage for all you need in this life and it will provide paradise for you in eternity.   Only foolish people would turn down God’s good plan for a man made plan forced on you by government that will cost you not only your money but will provide you less coverage and many times no coverage for certain illnesses and surgeries.   And it will not be guaranteed for life when the taxpayer money runs out and government can’t cover you, you will be dropped and your coverage cancelled.   Because nothing man does will last very long and will always fail at some point.

I and my family have had God’s care plan for many years now and we have never been disappointed with the coverage that has always been there for us when we needed it.   Whether it is a health problem, financial problem or any other kind of problem we are covered and God has never let us down.   He is always there when we call upon Him to answer our need and sometimes He even gives us miracles to supply that need.

We don’t trust any other kind of coverage offered by human ideas and plans.   But we do trust the God of our creation because over these years He has proven His faithfulness to us in so many ways.

We do have the absolute best healthcare.   Why don’t you give God’s plan a try and enjoy the peace of mind of having good healthcare coverage?

Some people hunt for a church like a visit to a shopping mall

Some people hunt for a church like a visit to a shopping mall.   When they visit a mall they go from one store to another looking to buy what appeals to them at a price they are willing to pay.   They will pick and choose and take home only those things that they like leaving the rest behind.

Some people well move from church to church denomination to denomination religion to religion looking for those things that appeal to their flesh and the lusts thereof.   They will pick and choose from the scriptures what they like to hear and leave all that they don’t like behind.

Like shopping malls there are so many religions and religious denominations to choose from and finding one that can fill individual fleshly appetites can be and is confusing to most non experienced church shoppers.   One might have to visit several or maybe all of them in order to find just the right one for them.

After all finding just the right ear tickling preacher saying just the right words to make one feel good and safe in their sinful lusts and habits, the group that offers the best community centers and fun programs and entertainment that appeal to their particular fleshly appetite might take a little time.

However with so many to choose from eventually those who are seeking  a place to attend that satisfies their flesh and allows them to be entertained in their sins and the comfort of false hope will eventually find the place that is suited to them.

With so many different religions, denominations and churches claiming to know God preaching and teaching so many different interpretations of scripture claiming it truth, the doctrines of men and man’s ways of how to reach God.

However with so many to choose from all claiming to be the right way and some even saying it doesn’t matter which religion, denomination or group one chooses to follow all ways lead to god and to heaven so it doesn’t really matter.   But for those who are truly seeking a spiritual relationship with the true God of creation, those who are tired of the misery and unrest that convicts their sinful hearts because of their sinful living and allows them no peace night or day it is so confusing and hard for them to know who is telling the truth, who going the right way.  Which of all these to choose from is the right group to follow?   Which one knows the real God?   Which one will help me get to heaven when it is my time to die?   These are really important questions to seek an answer to and must be answered at some point in life.

Let me tell you I once asked these very same questions when I could no longer stand the misery, heartache and suffering my sins were causing me.   That time when I began to search for God to give me rest and peace from the torments my sinful living was heaping upon me.   I went to the Methodist,Baptist,Nazarene,church of Christ,Catholic,Mormon,Jehovah’s witnesses, just about every major denomination in my home town.   I studied all of the major religions searching for God but I did not find Him there because I was looking for Him in all the wrong places.

 You see I was looking for God in Denominations and religions and I was confused because they all were so different and taught so many different ways to god.

But one Saturday night I visited a little house of prayer a street mission in the down town section of my city.   This little mission that claimed no denominational or religious ties ministered to the homeless, drunks, drug addicts, harlots and any others that found their way through its doors.   They taught no doctrines they practiced no religions they just worshiped God in song, read and studied the Holy Scriptures together prayed for one another, loved one another, and helped one another reaching out to the fallen to help them get back up on their feet.

There was a tall dark haired muscular man that appeared to be middle aged standing behind the pulpit he shined like one who had been rubbed down with oil, he spoke with an anointing of authority like I had never heard before.    He spoke from the Holy Bible not of denominational doctrines or of religions but the word of God as it is written.   He told of Jesus who was sent from God to earth from heaven to bring me forgiveness for the unrighteous ways that I was living, Jesus died on a cross for my sins, God raised Him from the grave to bring me hope of heaven when I die, and Jesus is coming to earth again someday to take me there to be with Him forever.

Although I knew that he was speaking to all that were there that night his message cut deep into my heart and I knew that his lips were controlled by the power of God.

The preacher said, all I had to do to be forgiven and saved from my sins was,” That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.   For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”  
Romans 10:9-10

I went home that night pondering in my mind and thinking of what that man had said to bring such conviction to my heart.    I had been in the house for a short while and my wife was out in the kitchen doing something I couldn’t stand the conviction any longer so I went into the bathroom shut the door and locked it I kneeled down in front of the bathtub and began to cry my heart was broken I said God if you are real please help me to know that you are here and will do for me what that man said you would do.   

Please forgive my sins I repent I am turning away from sinning.   Please God give me a new heart and a new life like he said you would.   I don’t know how long I was in that state of humbleness and weeping but it must have been quite some time because my wife heard me crying and talking to someone and she thought something had happened to me that I was hurt or something and she was screaming for me to open the door and asking me what was wrong.

Let me tell you nothing was wrong but everything was right when I opened the door and came out of that bathroom.

Let me tell you something did happen to me that wonderful night I left that bathroom a new man with a clean heart filled with a peace and joy that I had never felt before.   God did reveal Himself to me and I felt His right hand softly touching my head and saying to my spirit child you are forgiven go now and sin no more.

From that night until this day I am still following Jesus I am still communing with my heavenly Father I am still living in the peace unlike any that the world has to offer and in the joy and thrill of knowing that Jesus is with me every step that I take towards the finish line of my life here.

You see I could not find God until I went to the right place where He was worshiped in Spirit and truth where His messenger preached from His word the whole truth that cut into my heart like a two-edged sword and convicted me of my sins.   I could not find God until I began to search for Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.

Don’t get me wrong I am not saying that the denominations mentioned above are all wrong and you won’t hear Gods word preached there and that all denominational preachers don’t preach the Bible and that you won’t find some true Christians there.   

I am saying that you have to be very careful these days to search for the truth because there are far too many who have left the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and are preaching a diluted version part truth along with a lot of false added in.   Some have added words  to the Bible and some have taken words from the bible teaching and preaching doctrines of men in order to deceive as many as they can.   

Many church groups of today have become blind leaders of the blind be very careful and search the scriptures for your selves seeking the Holy Ghost for interpretation.   Don’t believe everything you hear and see these days test the spirits with the Bible for Satan is like a roaring lion roaming about seeking all that he can deceive and destroy.

Because there are so many new English translations of the Bible you must also be careful to compare them with the original Hebrew and Greek as translated in the Authorized 1611 King James Bible.   Know that one of the best tools of Satan has always been to twist the word of God to confuse, add to and take away the meaning of what God  really said.

Satan has infiltrated the true Christian church in today’s world with false Christ’s some who are so evil that they believe that they are the Christ, teaching and preaching the doctrines of sinful evil hearts of men dividing the church and leading some into perdition of the devils tormenting hell.   

They are so convincing with their message of falsehoods and false signs and miracles that it is possible for some to turn away from the truth that was preached from the beginning and taught to the Christians of past generations.

“For there shall arise false Christ’s, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”   Matthew 24:24

Satan is a master at deceptions and lies he proved that in the Garden of Eden and he has become even more skilled at it in today’s generation.   That is why the scriptures warn us to, “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”   Philippians 2:12

We attend church to worship and praise God to pray and have fellowship with one another encouraging one another to keep the faith that was once delivered to the saints.   

Not to be taught the scriptures because God wrote them in our hearts when we were saved and filled with His Holy spirit and it is the Holy Spirit who teaches us the will and purpose of God for each of us.   

We have pastors and teachers to warn sinners of the disasters of sin and to encourage them to come to God in repentance.   Their only purpose is to encourage the saints and warn the sinners.  

 In fact it is the duty of every born again member of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ to go out into the world and preach the gospel to everyone they have contact with.

Each one of us must follow Jesus be led of Him and taught by Him.

“   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”   John 14:6

When we allow pastors, preachers and teachers of no matter what Christian denomination or religious group become our teachers and blindly follow them without reading and studying the scriptures for ourselves to prove what they say is true or not we are headed for a great fall.   

Everything that someone tells us must be confirmed by the written word of God and through the indwelling Spirit of God.   If we truly know Him and have a right relationship with Jesus we are going to know beyond a shadow of doubt who it is that speaks to us and whether what they say is truth or not.

“ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:    And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”   John 10:27-28

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”   1 John 4:1

Besides all this if you are searching for God in denominations and religions you aren’t going to find Him there.    I have been there and done that and I am here to tell you there is only one place you can find God and that is in His written word (Bible) and His living word His only begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”   John 14:6

It is not important that you belong to a church denomination or religious groups or a religion when Jesus returns you won’t be recognized for these things.

He will be coming for those who have repented of their sins, turned away from sinning living by faith in Him, looking for Him watching and praying until He comes.

But it is extremely important for you to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ be a member of His body a part of His bride prepared and ready for His coming which is getting real close and could even happen before you finish reading this post.

It is very important what we believe and what we don’t believe concerning our salvation because only the true Christian is going to avoid the destructive life of sin here on earth and have access to the kingdom of heaven beyond here.

^“ And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.   He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”   Mark 16:15-16

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”   2 Thessalonians 2:3

In today’s world we are witnessing the greatest falling away from the truth that any generation has ever had.   “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”

Matthew 24:12   “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”   Matthew 15:8

“Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;”   2 Timothy 3:4

Whether you read this post or not is going to be up to you and God, whether you believe what I have written or not is going to be up to  you,whether you open your Bible read and prove it is going to be up to you and what you do with it and the decision you make because of it is going to be up to you.

Whatever your decision my hands are clean of your blood if you are yet a sinner living in your sins, your salvation is in your hands and God’s for I have obeyed the Spirit of God and I have given you what His Holy spirit has revealed to me.

Let us be very careful to discern the voices speaking to us

Here we are again at the beginning of a new year, 2015 

   holds for all of us the yet unknown.   We all will have opportunities to make decisions for the good or worse for us.   There will be many new doors opened to us, many voices counseling us, many instructors advising us but only one decision maker.   It is you and me who will decide which way we will go and which doors we will go through.

Let us be very careful to discern the voices speaking to us, the counseling and instructions that we receive and before we take that first step through that open door let us confirm that it is indeed opened by God and not by Satan or our own human desire.

In this world we will hear both truth and lies and some lies are so deceptive that they will fool even the wisest of us if we are not very careful in proving them false.

There is only one way we can separate the truth from lies, that is through reading the word of God, the Holy Bible is the only book in the world that contains the whole truth of the will of God revealed to us and God’s Holy Spirit is the only spirit in the world that will discern between His will for us and the will of false spirits of deception attempting to do us great harm.

Jesus warns us of this fact,” and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.”   Matthew 24:11

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.   1 John 4:1

The fact is no matter what you have been told all roads do not lead to heaven, all religions do not lead to God and in what and whom one believes does matter in determining our well-being both here on earth and in eternity’s future.

Likewise not all doors are opened to us by God neither is every door we may choose to blindly go through a blessing from God.

So I caution you brethren in the Lord Jesus Christ to examine and prove everything you hear and see in this year 2015 by the Holy Scriptures and listen very closely to the voice of the Holy Spirit who will reveal Himself to you if you seek His advice fervently and prayerfully in making the decisions that you must make in the upcoming days.

Let no one deceive you with false hope of peace and safety, let no one deceive you with the message that all is well and good and times are going to get better.

All is not well and good in America or the world and nothing is going to get better only worse as the day of God’s wrath upon the sinful and wicked rapidly approaches.   Great tribulation, suffering and pain unlike any that has ever been seen before is going to increase in America and throughout the rest of the world and there are so many who are not prepared to face it and will not endure it.

God is sending His messengers with His warning message of which I am one of them saying prepare yourselves while you yet have time.   The storm clouds are hovering above us the storms are coming and are already beginning and only those who are rooted and grounded in God’s word whose faith is firmly held in Jesus Christ and the promises of God’s word will barely endure until the storm ends and we are saved.

I am asking you to read the Bible confirm what I am saying here is truth as it is written in God’s word and take action in preparing yourselves for a very wild ,rough and dangerous road ahead.

Jesus said it this way, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. “  Matthew 24:22

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?   1 Peter 4:18

I realize that my posting of this is not going to win me any popularity contest, the like button is not going to be pressed by many and probably no one is going to share it.

But as long as I know that it was written by the Holy Spirit moving my fingers on the keyboard and I am in obedience to His command I am assured that it has accomplished what He sends it to do for whom He sends it.
