January 2024 - Avoiding Sin

What is sin?

According to the King James Bible version, the biblical definition of sin is found in 1 John 3:4: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."

When we sin, we break the law of God. We will always sin as long as we are in these flesh bodies. It is important to know what the law of God is so we can make moral decisions that align with the law of God.

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

People have a choice.

Because of free will, we can choose the law of God or the ways of the devil.

1 John 3:8

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God (Jesus Christ) was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

The bible says that we love darkness and our deeds are evil.

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 everyone 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.

Learn what sin is.

Purchase the KJV Companion bible, KREGEL PUBLICATIONS / 1995 / and refer to appendix 44 by E. W. Bullinger. You will see a list of the fifteen sins. If you do not know what sins are then how will you recognize good from evil.

Why do we struggle to do good?

We will struggle to do good because sin dwells in us. As long as we are in these flesh bodies, we will have this struggle. However, we can overcome by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) and train our mind to think with the spiritual mind rather than the flesh mind. It takes time and discipline.

Romans 7: 17-21

17 Now then it is no more I that do it but sin that dwelleth in me.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

Where will sin lead us?

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 8:5-8

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

SUMMARY

Learn what sin is and be led by the Holy Spirit and you will inherit the kingdom of God. We will never be perfect like our Lord Jesus Christ. When we sin then repent. Change our ways for the good. Be pleasing to God and the blessings will come to you. Go against God, and the curses will come to you. (Read Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28).

Galatians 5:16-26

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Avoid sin. Live a life pleasing to God and you will inherit the kingdom of God.

February 2024 - Cast into Darkness

What is darkness?

Darkness represents the sin of mankind. It is the opposite of light which represents God. Satan, the devil, is the ruler of darkness of this world and tempts mankind to engage in sin and go against God.

John 3:19–21

19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

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

1 John 1:5-7

5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

We wrestle against the darkness when we are attacked by the devil.

Satan is powerful and is the ruler of the darkness of this world. He is the accuser of mankind and is relentless in keeping you in darkness. He hates you and wants you cast into outer darkness. We cannot outsmart the devil without putting on the whole armour of God. Remember, Satan is a cherubim (the second highest order of the nine orders) with supernatural powers.

Ephesians 6:10-12

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

What is the ninefold traditional celestial hierarchy?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary lists the ninefold traditional celestial hierarchy from highest to lowest into the following nine orders:

seraphim

cherubim - Satan, the devil

thrones

dominions

virtues

powers

principalities

archangels

angels

How do we escape from the wiles of the devil and from being cast into outer darkness?

The only way to escape the devil and not walk in darkness is by following Jesus Christ and God's truth which is the Word of God.

John 8:12

Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

2 Corinthians 4:6

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.

Acts 26:18

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

John 14:6

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

Who qualifies to be cast into outer darkness and the lake of fire?

If you are an unbeliever in God and his Son, Jesus Christ, and are living a life of sin, then you will not have your name written in the book of life and you will be cast out into outer darkness and sent to the lake of fire.

Galatians 5:19-21

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:10

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

2 Timothy 3:2-7

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

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

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

4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

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

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

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

2 Corinthians 6:14

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

John 20:31

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

SUMMARY

We are living in the last days. Just look around you. Ask God to give you eyes to see and ears to hear. We are running out of time. Pretty soon you will not be able to seek God and his truth.

Please read the May 2021 newsletter, "An End is Come", for more truth.

We are approaching the end of the age. Seek God before it is too late. Serve God with a willing spirit and you shall reap the rewards. Will your name be written in the book of life? Will you be ready for the kingdom of God described in Revelation chapters 21 and 22?

Luke 12:31

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

God's promise to us is the new covenant.
Hebrews 8:10-11

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

Words of wisdom

Luke 21:36

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (Jesus Christ).

March 2024 - The Famine is On

What does this mean, "The Famine is On?"

In Amos 8:11-12 the word of the LORD God says,

11 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD and shall not find it.

The LORD God warned us to seek him while he may be found. Instead, we went the way of the world and became too busy. We took matters into our own hands and did not seek him.

Isaiah 55:6-7

6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Why will we not find the word of the LORD God?

Our pride has consumed us into thinking that we are smarter than the creator Father God. We have changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator. We have forsaken the LORD and served strange gods that cannot save us.

Romans 1:25

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Joshua 24:20

If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

Isaiah 55:8-11

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

How do we know God is in control and not mankind?

Technology is advancing fast, especially artificial intelligence. We are delusional into thinking that we are in control and not the LORD God. Fortunately, God is in control of the universe and his creation. Mankind is limited concerning his knowledge base.

We have not been able to determine why the number 137 is important and the answer to life and the universe. Read the article by Paul Sutter published March 24, 2022 "Life as we know it would not exist without this highly unusual number."

Isaiah 45:18-22

18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

The unrighteous will turn away their ears from the truth of God.

We see articles claiming that church attendance is down. People are making up their own religions with worldly doctrine. They are intolerant of people who still believe in the word of God which is his truth.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.

Isaiah 53:6

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12

8 And then shall that Wicked (Satan) be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

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.

What is the Parable of the Ten Virgins?

God's truth cannot be bought. Read Matthew chapter 25:1-13 to know if you are a wise virgin or a foolish virgin. The oil for the lamps represents the olive oil of our people and the Holy Spirit guiding and teaching us the word of God which is his truth. The foolish virgins did not seek God and his truth but instead sought the world and its false doctrine.

If you are not ready and the bridegroom, Jesus Christ, returns at the second advent then you will miss the marriage supper of the Lamb and the kingdom of heaven. The door will be shut to you.

Matthew 25:1-13

1 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.

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 (Jesus Christ) cometh.

Summary

We are approaching a time of trouble such as never was since creation. God has given us plenty of time to seek him. We chose to seek the world. We have become an enemy of God.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

He will not hear us when we cry in our time of trouble.

Daniel 12:1

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Leviticus 26:29

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

Matthew 24:21

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Mark 13:19

For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Ezekiel 8:18

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

John 8:47

He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Words of wisdom

Read "Escape the Antichrist" and the May 2021 newsletter "An End is Come". The Famine is on for the word of God.

Come quickly dear Lord Jesus, come quickly.

April 2024 - Departing from the Faith

Stand firmly on the true Rock which is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

You have studied the Word of God and have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. You have repented and been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. You have forsaken all other gods, religions, and doctrines.

It is imperative that you do not waver or doubt the Word of God. Your faith must be as strong as the mustard seed whereby you can move mountains.

Matthew 17:20

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Hebrews 3:12

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

2 Peter 3:17

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

What does stedfastness mean? According to dictionary.com, steadfast means to be fixed or firm in a direction or purpose – unwavering.

1 Timothy 4:1

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.

Satan will work overtime to get you to doubt the truth of God and to depart from the Christian faith

The bible says that in the last days, the man of sin (Satan) will exalt himself so he can be worshipped in Jerusalem as God. Because the world is biblically illiterate and apathetic, Satan will have a field day in deceiving humanity. He will portray himself as the true God of all religions. He will perform miracles with his supernatural powers. He will promise you a debt free, comfortable, and exciting life on earth if you give your allegiance to him and worship him. He is the master of deception.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-10

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

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

What does the bible mean by apostasy?

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, apostasy is the total rejection of Christianity by a baptized person who, having at one time professed the Christian faith, publicly rejects it.

When a person publicly rejects the Christian faith, they are not stedfast or unwavering in the truth of God. They still have doubts and do not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. They publicly reject the Christian faith and give allegiance to Satan and his one world system. They care more about the pleasure in unrighteousness than the truth of God.

1 John 5:20

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

1 Corinthians 10:4

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

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.

How strong is your faith? Will you waver under pressure?

Many believers will be afraid to stand for the true God and the Christian faith. Satan (the false God) comes to Jerusalem at the sixth trumpet, the sixth seal, and the sixth vial (666) as explained in the Book of Revelation.

Satan is the master of deception and the world will believe that he is God. You will be hated, and people will be offended because you would not worship their fake god of Jerusalem.

Satan will still have his supernatural powers and will perform miracles. The world will be deceived because they think God has come to Jerusalem to deliver them out of their trials and tribulations; a time of trouble such as man has never known. They did not wait for the seventh trumpet when the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, returns at the second advent.

John 15:18-19

18 If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me (Jesus Christ) before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Matthew 24:10

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.

What happens to you if you do not worship Satan as God in Jerusalem?

The true God has promised you a crown of life when you are faithful unto death. When you are delivered up before Satan (the false God), endure ten days and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you. Do not premeditate what you will say for that is the unforgiveable sin.

James 1:12

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Revelation 2:10

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Luke 21:12-18

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

Summary

Pray without ceasing that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these horrific things that shall come to pass. Do not be deceived by Satan (antichrist) at the sixth trumpet. Satan hates God's creation.

WAIT FOR THE SEVENTH TRUMPET WHEN THE TRUE JESUS CHRIST RETURNS.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Psalms 91:1-6 (GNT)

"Whoever goes to the LORD for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty, can say to him, "You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust."

He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers. He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you. You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day or the plagues that strike in the dark or evils that kill in daylight."

Deuteronomy 4:29-31,39

29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them.

39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Come quickly dear Lord Jesus, come quickly.

May 2024 - Deliverance

Satan is at war with God.

It is a spiritual war of good vs. evil. Satan wants to be God. He wants to be worshipped in Jerusalem. He will do whatever it takes to deceive the world and overthrow the throne of God. His pride is so great because of his beauty (read Ezekiel 28) that God has already condemned him to the lake of fire.

Ezekiel 28:1-2

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus (Satan), Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up (with pride), and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God.

After the world is deceived by Satan at the sixth trumpet for five months (there is no rapture to save anyone), Jesus Christ will return at the seventh trumpet. Then Satan will be bound for one thousand years.

Revelation 20:1-3, 14-15

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

How does Satan operate?

Satan studies your weaknesses and tempts you to be disobedient to God and his commandments. He opens doors to bring people to assist you to commit actions that go against God and his truth which is the Word of God. He knows if you have taken the time to study the Word of God, you will be a challenge for him. He will never give up on tempting you to go against God. If you do not know right from wrong, you are easy prey for him.

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

Satan's kingdom is sophisticated. If you have not taken the time to read the Word of God and study how the enemy can deceive you then you are his prey.

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

How does God deliver us from our trials and tribulations?

God has allowed trials and tribulations in our life to gain our faith and trust in him. He will never give you more than you can handle. He wants us to seek him, love him, and be obedient to his voice when we turn to him in prayer. He has promised to deliver us and give us a way to escape. But we must turn to him and be obedient to his voice.

1 Corinthians 10:13

There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Psalms 34:17-19

17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The LORD is near unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

God wants experienced servants so we can do his will and not our own. He has a plan and will fulfill his plan. There is a new kingdom coming soon to earth with Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.

What are some examples from the Word of God on deliverance?

In dangerous and challenging situations, God can give you a way to escape by placing a wall of protection around you. God will lead you to safety if you have faith and trust in him. Turn to him and be obedient to his voice and he will neither forsake you nor destroy you.

Read Exodus 14 The Lord told Moses to part the waters of the sea so the Israelites could escape from the hands of Pharoah after Pharoah changed his mind and pursued the Israelites.

Exodus 14:14

14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Example #2

Trials and tribulations will come your way to test your faith, honesty, and courage to speak the truth which is the Word of God. At the sixth trumpet, Satan will come to Jerusalem peaceably and prosperously as God to deceive the world with a better life on earth but only if you worship him and his one world system. Will you waver and worship the false messiah at the sixth trumpet to escape a time of trouble such as mankind has never known?

Example #3

Obeying God rather than the governments of the world will get you in trouble and possibly imprisoned.

Read Acts 5 for the full story of how the apostles obeyed God, were imprisoned, and God protected them so they could continue teaching and preaching Jesus Christ and his doctrine.

Acts 5:29,42

29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

God will be watching everyone to see who is faithful? Can you be honest and courageous and stand for God's truth which is the Word of God? Those who refuse to worship Satan in Jerusalem and do not partake of his one world system will be delivered up and pressured to change their mind.

Read Mark 13 for details.

Mark 13:9-11

9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

Stand firm on the true Rock which is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Wait for the seventh trumpet to sound. Do not be afraid for God goes before you and will give you his wall of protection.

Daniel 12:1

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

The key is to pray without ceasing until your deliverance is fulfilled by God.

Memorize Psalms 23.

Why? One day the words of Psalms 23 will comfort your soul and God will bring you deliverance from the enemy. Bibles are being burned and you may not have access to the Word of God. When you are fearful, recite Psalms 23 and know that God is in control. Put your faith and trust in God and you will be delivered from the enemy, Satan.

Psalms 23

(A Psalm of David.)

1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Summary

There is a spiritual war going on which will lead to the ultimate war between Satan's army fighting Jesus Christ's army. God wants loyal, committed, and experienced servants to engage in this war and do the will of God and not our own. God has a plan and will fulfill his plan. There is a new kingdom coming soon to earth with Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Are you ready for a time of trouble such as the world has never known? Will you be a soldier in Jesus Christ's army?

Revelation 12:12

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Joel 2:31-32

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Words of wisdom

Know the signs of the second advent and the end of the age by studying Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.

Luke 21:34-36

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all of them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape (deliverance) all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

God sees the future and will fulfill his plan of salvation for us. He will test you to see if you will quit in difficult times. God wants you to rely on him and to build your faith and trust in him especially in these last days. Can God use you as a loyal servant in these last days or will you quit?

Come quickly dear Lord Jesus, come quickly.

June 2024 - Give Your Testimony with Faith

What does testimony mean in the bible?

In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the noun testimony is defined as a public declaration of religious experience. Many people in the bible gave their testimony with faith to anyone who would listen. Their testimony led people to repent and be baptized in the name of the Father God, the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:38

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Church attendance has declined. Who will listen to your testimony?

According to an article written by Jeffrey M. Jones in WELLBEING dated MARCH 25, 2024 titled Church Attendance Has Declined in Most U.S. Religious Groups, the article points out that 3 in 10 U.S. adults attend religious services regularly, led by Mormons at 67%. The article is very interesting. Take the time to read it. https://news.gallup.com/poll/642548/church-attendance-declined-religious-groups.aspx

Many people have not been saved and have gone the way of the world. They are distracted by Satan and his evil ways. He hates the creation of God. He does not want you to be saved.

Only God can open doors for you. Some will listen to your testimony, and some will not because God has given them the spirit of slumber. As you study and mature in the Word of God with the Holy Spirit's help, your testimony will grow in wisdom and so will the followers of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

Romans 11:8

According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day.

When you are saved, you have become a new creature in Christ. You want everyone to rejoice with you.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

After you have been saved, a feeling of joy comes over you and you want to share your triumph with everyone who will listen. Unfortunately, not everyone will listen. But do not be discouraged for only those people who God has touched will have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Luke 10:23-24

23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear and have not heard them.

Wait for the spirit of God.

Always pray for the Holy Spirit's help because on your own you cannot change minds. It is up to God to give you what you will say, how you will say it, and what scripture will benefit the people. God uses his servants to accomplish his plan. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. The spirit of prophecy is from the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 24:34

Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
2 Peter 1: 16-21

16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; where unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Some of you will be delivered up to Satan, as a witness; for a testimony.

Be a witness of Jesus Christ and let the Holy Spirit speak through you for a testimony against the enemy.

Those who refuse to worship Satan in Jerusalem and do not partake of his one world system will be delivered up and pressured to change their mind.

Read Mark 13 for details. Read Matthew 10:16-22

Mark 13:9-11

10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

Stand firm on the true Rock which is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Wait for the seventh trumpet to sound. Do not be afraid for God goes before you and will give you his wall of protection.

Daniel 12:1

Summary

Let the Holy Spirit move you to do the will of God and not your own. Give your testimony with faith. It is your testimony that people will hear and know that you chose life rather than death.

John 14: 6

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

We bring honor, glory, and praise to God when we witness and plant seeds of truth. Pray to Father God in Jesus Christ's name to open doors for you so you can produce fruit for him and share your testimony with faith.

Revelation 1:3

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Come quickly dear Lord Jesus, come quickly.

Mark 10:23-24

23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

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

August 2024 - Eternal Life

There is one God with an eternal purpose.

Have you asked the questions, Who formed God? Is there more than one God in heaven and upon the earth? Who created earth and its inhabitants?

The following verses will answer these questions.

Who formed God?

Isaiah 43:10

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Is there more than one God in heaven and upon the earth?

Deuteronomy 4:39

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is no one else.

Who created earth and its inhabitants?

Isaiah 45:18

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is no one else.

What does God want from us?

God wants our love. We were created by him and for him, for his pleasure. He loves us so much that he gave his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to be crucified to pay the atonement for our sins so that we may be saved and have eternal life.

Revelation 4:11

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Romans 5:8

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

What is the eternal purpose of God?

Paul teaches us that according to the eternal purpose of God, we can be confident that the work of Christ, through faith, gives us access to God.

Ephesians 3:11-12

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

What is the Dispensational Plan of the Bible?

The Dispensational Plan of the Bible shows us in detail the dispensations from beginning to the end in which God provides the way and the means for everyone to receive salvation and gain eternal life.

The Companion Bible, The Authorized Version (KJV) by E. W. Bullinger, has 198 Appendixes of which Appendix 198 explains the three earth ages.

The first earth age: the primal creation (the world that then was).

The second earth age: the earth restored and blessed (the heavens and the earth which are now).

The third earth age: the earth restored and blessed (the millenium).

The New Heaven and The New Earth: the day of God.

Note: E.W. Bullinger writes in Appendix 198 that the great lesson that God sets before us from Genesis to Revelation that no created being can stand (upright) apart from Christ the Creator. Hence the necessity for a "new heaven and a new earth" wherein abideth righteousness, inhabited by a "new creation" of beings who have by grace been made "partakers of the Divine nature".

2 Peter 1:3-4

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Know the difference between perishable and imperishable.

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, perishable means temporary. Imperishable means eternity. Stay focused on God with the Holy Spirit's help. Remember, Satan will tempt you to give in to the perishable. He is a great deceiver. Practice spiritual discernment with the Holy Spirit's help to overcome your weaknesses. Your goal is eternal life with God and Jesus Christ.

Summary

We are approaching the end of the age. Seek God before it is too late. Serve God with a willing spirit and you shall reap the rewards. Will your name be written in the book of life? Will you be ready for eternity described in Revelation chapters 21 and 22?

God's promise to us is the new covenant.

Hebrews 8:10-11

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

1 John 5:20

Words of wisdom

Luke 21:36

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

September 2024 - The Great White Throne of Judgment

What is the purpose of the Great White Throne of Judgment?

God is holy whereby all things that offend will be destroyed before the new heaven and the new earth (the day of God) is fulfilled. God will sit on the Great White Throne of Judgment to judge the dead according to their works. No one will escape the judgment of God.

Satan (the antichrist) has already been condemned by God and will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. The dead that are not found written in the book of life will also be cast into the lake of fire.

Hebrews 9:27

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

Revelation 21:27

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 20:10-15

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The purpose of a new heaven and a new earth is for the new creation of beings to inhabit it.

In the third earth age, we will be in our spiritual bodies with immortal souls and have by grace been made "partakers of the divine nature."

2 Peter 1:3-4

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Isaiah 45:18

18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

2 Peter 3:10-13

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

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

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

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

The two rebellions of Satan

The first rebellion of Satan was in the Garden of Eden where he seduced Eve. Read Genesis 3:1-24

Genesis 3:13

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent (Satan) beguiled me, and I did eat.

Satan is bound.

Satan will be bound for a thousand years called "The Millennium" whereby we will learn the truth of God and how to worship Him in spirit. After the millennium, Satan will be released for a short time to deceive the nations once more.

The second and final rebellion of Satan will be after the second resurrection of Jesus Christ (the seventh trumpet).

Revelation 20:7-10

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The day of God will be in the new heaven and the new earth.

God's promise to us is the new covenant.

Hebrews 8:10-11

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

1 John 5:20

20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Who will receive blessings and rewards on Judgment Day?

Revelation 22:11-14

11 He that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Summary

God tells us in Ezekiel 18:4 that all souls are mine.

God's plan of salvation leads to immortality of our soul but only through His Son, Jesus Christ, who shed His blood to pay the atonement for our sins so that we might be saved and have eternal life.

If we do not worship Satan at the sixth trumpet and wait for the seventh trumpet, we will participate in the first resurrection and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

On Judgment Day, the wicked and the evil doers, the unbelievers, and the disobedient to God and His commandments, will be punished on Judgment Day.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Words of wisdom

We all fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:23

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

When we do sin, repent in the name of Jesus Christ, and develop the nine fruits of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22-26

22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Come quickly dear Lord Jesus, come quickly.

October 2024 - Getting Right with God

We have forgotten why we were created by God the Father. We are the creature not the creator.

Revelation 4:11

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Romans 1:25

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

We are wise in our own eyes and thus have become fools.

Isaiah 5:21

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.

Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Psalms 14:1 and Psalms 53:1

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Ecclesiastes 10:2

A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

The world is not ready for the truth of God and so they continue in their evil ways.

Matthew 13:15

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

The world has become intolerant of people who still believe in the word of God which is his truth. People are making up their own religions with worldly doctrine.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.

Isaiah 53:6

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

What is it going to take to get right with God?

The world is now at the time spoken of in 2 Timothy 4:3 where it will not endure sound doctrine. The world has gone astray like lost sheep. The famine is on, not for food but of hearing the word of God.

In Amos 8:11-12 the word of the Lord GOD says,

11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD and shall not find it.

The Lord GOD warned us to seek him while he may be found. Instead, we went the way of the world and became too busy. We took matters into our own hands and did not seek him.

Isaiah 55:6-7

6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

What will it take to get right with God?

Prayer, fasting, repenting of our sins, and studying the word of God.

If you have not been baptized, get baptized in the name of the Father God, his Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. And do it now. We are running out of time.

What is our calamity if we do not get right with God?

God the creator of earth tells us that the earth is his footstool. And when he chooses, he shakes it. We are in the last days and a great shaking is coming not only on earth but also in heaven.

We have made God angry because of our wickedness, disobedience, disrespect of his laws and the commandments, the worshipping of other gods, perversion, social unrest, lust, greed, pride, arrogance, laziness, envy, out of control anger, gluttony, hatred of our fellow people if they do not have the same political viewpoint, etc.

We are coming to the end of this age. The world will not listen to God. They will not seek him.

Hebrews 12:26

Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

History shows us that the world only wants God's help when there is no one else to assist them in their calamity. Unfortunately, the world will wait until the great tribulation is at hand before they cry out to God. There will be no food, the cities will be desolate due to wars, natural disasters will overcome countries, and extreme violence will be the norm with no leadership to calm the chaos and confusion.
Ezekiel 12:2

Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

Proverbs 1:24-30

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof (rebuke):

26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof (rebuke).

Summary

We are approaching a time of trouble such as never was since creation. God has given us plenty of time to seek him. We chose to seek the world. We have become an enemy of God.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

God will not hear us when we cry in our time of trouble.

Daniel 12:1

Leviticus 26:29

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

Matthew 24:21

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Mark 13:19

For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Ezekiel 8:18

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

John 8:47

He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

November 2024 - Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

Blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. Matthew 13:16

According to the World Population Clock, there are 8.1 billion people in the world as of 2024. https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions, churches, denominations, religious bodies, faith groups, tribes, cultures, movements, or ultimate concerns.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religions_and_spiritual_traditions

If you were to make an educated guess, what percent of the world has eyes to see and ears to hear the true doctrine of Jesus Christ?

In the last days, the world will not endure sound doctrine and will turn away their ears from truth.

Throughout the history of the world, we have relied on our own free will and made decisions without consulting God. When we get into trouble and there is no one to help us, then we consult God. We pray and hope that God will intervene and help us.

The cycle continues and we do not learn our lessons. We do not seek God but at the last minute want him to help us in our time of need. We do not know his ways nor do his will.

We are coming to a point in time when the world is going to plunge itself into a time of trouble because of our rebelliousness and ungodly ways.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

No man can save us. We will not escape the tribulation because we have become an enemy of God.

We are approaching a time of trouble such as never was since creation. God has given us plenty of time to seek him. We chose to seek the world. We have become an enemy of God.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

He will not hear us when we cry in our time of trouble.

Daniel 12:1

Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear?

If you do have eyes to see and ears to hear then you have taken the time to seek God and his will. You have focused on the things that are eternal and not temporal. You have read Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, and Revelation 6, and continue to watch for the signs of the end of the age.

You are a watchman of current events and how they align with bible prophecy. You pray and ask God for forgiveness every day for you are not perfect in your ways. You ask God for his wall of protection against the evil forces that roam the earth. Most important of all, you pray that God finds you worthy to escape the things that are coming.

2 Corinthians 4:18

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Luke 21:36

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

In the last days, what things should we think on?

There are many distractions in the world. There are many opinions whether they are right or wrong. Every day is a challenge for us as we cope in this world. If you do things God's way, you will be blessed and protected from what is coming.

Proverbs 12:15

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Summary

Are you watching world events? Can you see the world is getting worse?

Why is the world in a slumber and does not have eyes to see and ears to hear?

Romans 11:8

8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

December 2024 - Repent and Be Baptized

Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

John the Baptist was created by God to prepare the way of the Lord and to tell the people to repent for the kingdom of heaven was at hand.

Matthew 3:1-3

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

John the Baptist baptized a person after they had repented of their sins. He did this before Jesus Christ became known to the people. Once Jesus was known, Jesus would then baptize them with the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 3:11

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire.
Acts 2:38

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission (forgiveness) of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Why do you need the gift of the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is your guide and teacher into all truth of the Word of God. He will show you things to come.

John 14:26

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show you things to come.

Key: After you have repented of your sins and been baptized, then ask your heavenly Father for the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. For without the Holy Spirit, you will not understand the Word of God. Do not quench (suppress) the Holy Spirit.

Luke 11:13

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

1 Thessalonians 5:19

Quench not the Spirit.

How do you know the time is at hand?

Can you not see that the world is entering a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time? Are you in a slumber and do not want to pay attention to current events in the world? Are you that busy and just do not care?

Daniel 12:1

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book of life.

Instead of seeking God by repenting of our foolish ways and asking God to help us, we have sought the leadership of this world. We are so hopeful in the new leadership of billionaires, the advancement of technology, the ungodly reasoning powers and persuasion of people with new ideas to fix problems, that we have been deceived. Every day the unrighteous acts of people are getting worse and worse.

The world is our god. We spend more time on social media, television, and the computer than we do honoring, glorifying, and praising God.

Deuteronomy 25:16

For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Galatians 5:21

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

The bible tells us what it will be like in the last days.

2 Timothy 3:1-5,13

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

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

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

4 Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

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

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Who will be deceived by Satan and worship him as he sits as God in Jerusalem?

The whole world will be deceived and will worship Satan (the antichrist) in Jerusalem. Why? Because the world is biblically illiterate and apathetic. They care more about their comfort zone and the cares of this world. They desire the temporal more than the eternal.

Revelation 12:9

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Satan will work overtime to get you to doubt the truth of God and to depart from the Christian faith. The bible says that in the last days, the man of sin (Satan) will exalt himself so he can be worshipped in Jerusalem as God.

Because the world is biblically illiterate and apathetic, Satan will have a field day in deceiving humanity. He will portray himself as the true God of all religions. He will perform miracles with his supernatural powers. He will promise you a debt free, comfortable, and exciting life on earth if you give your allegiance to him and worship him. He is the master of deception.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there comes a falling away first (the apostasy), and that man of sin (Satan) be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Will you stand firmly on the "true Rock" which is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour?

Take notice if you have not been caught up in the deception of Satan (antichrist). Do not be afraid for God will protect you.

2 Timothy 3:12-16

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

Luke 21:12-18

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer (unforgiveable sin):

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

18 But there shall not be a hair on your head perish.

Stand firmly on the "true Rock" which is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

It is imperative that you do not waver or doubt the Word of God. Your faith must be as strong as the mustard seed whereby you can move mountains.

Matthew 17:20

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall be removed; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Hebrews 3:12

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

2 Peter 3:17

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

What does stedfastness mean? According to dictionary.com, steadfast means to be fixed or firm in a direction or purpose – unwavering.

1 Timothy 4:1

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.

SUMMARY

There is one God, and he is the creator of all things. There is no one else.

Deuteronomy 4:39

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is no one else.

Revelation 4:11

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Isaiah 45:18

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is no one else.

Isaiah 43:10

2 Timothy 3:16

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Words of Wisdom

2 Timothy 4:8

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me on that day: and not to me only, but unto all of them also that love his appearing.

Mark 8:36

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Repent and be baptized. You will not regret it for a new kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Wait for the seventh trumpet to sound when the true Jesus Christ returns, and you will be changed in the twinkling of an eye into your spiritual body.

There is no rapture. You will be deceived and will worship the fake messiah, Satan (antichrist), pretending to be God in Jerusalem at the sixth trumpet.

1 Corinthians 15:50-52

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump (the seventh trumpet): for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Come quickly dear Lord Jesus, come quickly.
