Bible lovers Jesus haters

 Following Jesus Christ is not about "following the Bible", but about following the Holy Spirit. There is a BIG difference. Many Christians follow the Bible and love to talk about the scriptures and how biblical their church is. The Pharisees also loved to speak about their scriptures and their organization. They were the same ones that had Jesus put up on the cross crying out, "CRUCIFY HIM, CRUCIFY HIM!!!" 

Speak in tongues

 

It is good to speak in tongues, whatever the tongue may be, a prayer language, a tongue not known by men, prophecy, interpretation etc...GRANTED it is truly of the Holy Spirit and not something else. How do you know the difference for SURE? Well, that is entirely hinged upon your heart and which S(s)pirit you are connected to. There is no praying in tongues "wrong" or accidentally to Satan, IF in your heart of hearts you are worshiping the Spirit of God. But many Christians are deceived and let their heart LIE to them. These foolish Christians chase after sensationalism, feelings and what appears spiritual before MEN. They want to impress others with their spirituality and have a spirit of manipulation and are also manipulated. The important thing is to be VERY serious to check your own heart and make sure that you are actually going after the Holy Spirit, not something else. Be honest with yourself and be honest with God.

Christian Witchcraft is real (false tongues)

Not everyone who has been baptized (or baptizes others) and "speaks in tongues" really is following the Holy Spirit. Many people receive a sort of, so called "kundalini" spirit and manifest bizarre speach (Exp: shdahalalalalalalalal.... this is not an angelic tongue but hypnotic), movements, attitudes and emotions that they CALL the Holy Spirit. Be warned that this sort of stuff is a witchcraft. (Also note that SOME Christians using this witchcraft and this sort of tongue know EXACTLY what they are doing and are purposely out to put you in a trance to control you.) Many Christians fall for this because these sorts of Christians are generally very charismatic, likable and outgoing. Often they do "faith healings" and miraculous signs seem to happen through them. They also promise others that if they are baptized by THEM, they will also receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit with tongues. Do NOT be duped by their witchcraft. It will be exposed soon enough that this is NOT of God. Don't set yourself up to look extremely foolish by associating with these people. The TRUE Spirit of God is the Spirit of complete self-control. The true Spirit of God is the Spirit of revelation, CLARITY and comfort! NOT confusion, awkwardness and bizarre manifestations. 

Reason why the pastor's kids are on drugs and suicidal

 

Reason Why the Pastor’s Kids are on Drugs and Suicidal 

There is a reason why the pastor’s kids are committing suicide and why the Christian celebrities’ children are on drugs and killing themselves.  You can look at pastors such as rick Warren who had a son that some years ago committed suicide.  And there are other famous people such as the rapper TobyMac, who recently his son overdosed on drugs, fentanyl.  The reason why is because pastor’s kids, even if they don’t know it are growing up in hypocrisy.  AND HYPOCRISY DIRECTLY LEADS TO DEPRESSION! And there is no one more hypocritical than someone such as a pastor, a preacher or a Christian who abandons their own family, doesn’t raise them for GOD, but “does ministry” and appears good before A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE.  I grew up Christian.  I grew up seeing the hypocrisy in church, and I myself also became a hypocrite pastor.  This climaxed in my life when I was in college and I found myself with two different lives.  I had the life at church on Wednesday and on Sunday, where I would pull myself together, pull a sermon together, and I would preach and appear godly, and a LOT of people looked up to me!  And I had my OTHER life at college where I was hanging out with women, I was going out with people, going to the bars, and this double lifestyle that I started to live more and MORE got me into a depression.  And the interesting is, at the time, I couldn’t even put my thumb on WHY I was depressed!  I didn’t even REALIZE I was living a double life!  I knew it, I think at TIMES, but it was easy just to forget about.  Now from my perspective outside, and hind-sight, seeing all of this from the future from then, it is SO OBVIOUS that I was living as a hypocrite, so obvious that the hypocrisy itself was leading me to depression.  But in the time I just thought; “I’m having fun in college, having fun with girls, having fun playing shows, going out to bars, and then I just have to pull myself together on Sunday to appear good to the people at church…”  It was a very weird thing to be a part of and Satan totally blinded me to that.  It wasn’t that I just though; “I’m going to deceive people in church, I’m going to be a hypocrite…”  I just simply WAS a hypocrite and I was extremely depressed.  During this time Satan would put all kinds of things in my mind.  I was so depressed, that certain women that I was with even would bring it up, they could tell that I was depressed… It took me a LONG time to come out of that, to actually get right with God, to surrender my life FULLY to the HOLY SPIRIT.  But now that Jesus has restored me, pulled me away from the hypocritical church system, pulled me away from being a lying pastor, NOW I can stand up and expose what is going on, and I can tell you, the pastors kids are going to be the MOST depressed children of ANYBODY, even more than atheist’s kids, more than other religion’s kids.  The pastor’s sons and daughters are going to commit suicide, they will be on drugs, they will overdose and they will die.  They will be the first ones that are found DEAD along the freeways!  They are the ones who have seen the truth of G(g)od and they have realized that it is all a game.  They may not even know that hypocrisy is what led them to depression, BUT IT DID!  I encourage you to GET OUT OF CHURCH.  Get OUT of hypocrisy.  Don’t listen to the pastors.  Don’t bring your family into the doors of the church.  IT WILL LEAD YOU TO HELL.   Separate yourself from hypocrisy, otherwise it will lead you to depression and it will lead your children to hell.  There is a VERY specific reason WHY the pastor’s kids are committing suicide and the celebrities sons and daughters are overdosing on drugs.  Don’t follow them.  DON’T BE A PART OF THE CHURCH CULTURE!  Separate yourselves, sever yourself AND your family.  Otherwise, you will also follow them to hell.  OBEY Jesus Christ, live by HIS words and TOTALLY come OUT of the leaven of hypocrisy.  May the grace of Jesus be with you. 

If you don't accept their sin don't accept their concern

 Often Christians keep an open ear to criticism from others, even if they KNOW those other people are in sin. The devil tells them if they don't listen they're prideful. That is a bunch of nonsense and manipulation.  If you don't accept someone's SIN, dont accept their CONCERN for your life!

Salvation by Belief ALONE is a lie

Salvation by Belief Alone IS A LIE

Praise Jesus today everyone, it truly is a blessing to find our life in Jesus Christ, to find our happiness in Him, to find ourselves completely in His love.  What I wanted to talk about for a minute here is how we are saved and our salvation.  I remember when I was first coming to Jesus I had this dream, and I had it in a few different variations, but it had to do with this young boy who was walking on the edge of a cliff, and on the bottom of the cliff was just jagged, or rather it was just basically death to fall off the cliff. But as this boy walked along the edge of this cliff he realized that he kind of had a super-power, that he could fall off the edge of the cliff and be protected, GOD would protect him. (Luke 4:12/Deuteronomy 6:16 Don’t Put the Lord your God to the test.) And in my dream he fell a few times (or jumped intentionally) and he had a bubble of protection and when he fell he bounced to the bottom of the cliff but he was not mortally wounded, he may have been injured to some extent but he did not die. But another time he fell and he broke bones and then I see him again another time and he is all mangled up.  And in this dream, when I was first coming to the Holy Spirit and understanding our salvation, the Holy Spirit was speaking to me about what our salvation was like.

 When we walk on our path with the Lord, we stumble, we fall, and the Lord has grace on us, because He loves us and does not wish that even one of us fall into hell.  But as we continue down that road and if we are PLAYING GAMES WITH GOD (watch the video here), and if we are purposely jumping off the cliff, and we continue to say; “Well, GOD will save us, His hedge of protection, the hedge of His Holy Spirit will still be around me… I know that I’m entitle to go to heaven!”  and we have that kind of attitude, that we believe that we are entitled to heaven no matter WHAT (like Once Saved Always Saved doctrine), then we will keep on falling, but eventually we will end up FALLING TO OUR DEATH.  Jesus Christ is ALIVE and His Holy Spirit KNOWS EACH OF US INTIMATELY.  He sees the bottom of our heart.  He sees what is in the SOUL of a man, and He divides between bone and marrow, soul and spirit (like Hebrews 4:12 says) He KNOWS WHO YOU ARE in your CORE, YOU CAN’T FOOL HIM.  A lot of Christians are playing dangerous games with God.  They continue to fall off the cliff, because they go, “I’ve fell off before, God picked me up, I had the hedge of protection, God is grace, God is love…”  And they are right, but at some point, GRACE RUNS OUT, and that is why many people are actually in HELL who WERE CHRISTIANS!  You have to ask yourself, why is ANYONE in HELL if that God loved?  Why did He allow them to go there if God is love?  And the answer is, there is a certain amount of time that we can walk with the LORD, reconcile with HIM, WORK OUT OUR SALVATION WITH HIM, and be SAVED! (Read John 11:9) There is a certain amount of time that we can repent and show by our works (like James 2:24-26 states) that we are in LOVE with Jesus Christ and mean business with HIM. (Like John said to the Jews in Matthew 3:8 to show fruit worthy of repentance)

 People go around saying that salvation is NOT by works, it’s not by holiness and righteousness, it’s not by the things we do.  And it’s true in the sense that by our OWN works alone we are not saved, BUT if we truly are with JESUS CHRIST, His HOLY SPIRIT IS IN US and He puts His Spirit of truth and RIGHTEOUSNESS and HOLINESS in us, and without those things in us WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE SAVED.  (As written in Hebrews 12:14) You cannot enter into God’s Holy Kingdom without righteousness inside of you.  (Compare Matt 6:33 with Matt 22:12)  If you continue to say; “I am saved, I am entitled to heaven…”  One day you are going to FALL and you will be as someone TESTING THE LORD, and you are gong to fall down that cliff, you are going to hit the bottom, you are going to break bones, maybe YOU WILL DIE, then you will stand before a HOLY GOD and we KNOW that God will say to MANY who believed that they were saved, Christians who cast out demons, who healed people in Jesus’s name… He will say to them; “Away from Me I NEVER KNEW YOU, YOU WORKERS OF INIQUITY!” (Matthew 7:31-23) Many Christians will say; “But that wasn’t me Lord, I had faith in you, I trusted you, I believed in YOU!  ISN’T BELIEF ENOUGH???  Isn’t it enough to believe, I know John 3:16, I know the verses that say BY FAITH WE ARE SAVED, NOT BY WORKS SO NO ONE CAN BOAST, LORD, I HAVE YOU IN MY HEART!!!”  Jesus will say to these people; “Away from Me, you who commit iniquity!  I don’t know you!”  That is an example of GOD’S GRACE NOT BEING GIVEN TO SOMEONE.  That is a VERY scary thing. God is extremely gracious; He loves every single one of us.  He sent His Son to die for the iniquity of the WORLD (John 3:16) that each of us can repent. (Acts 2:38) But if we continue to turn our backs on God and play games with God, and say it in our hearts; “I’m entitled to heaven, no matter what I do, God can’t love me any more or any less, I’m going to heaven, I can’t doubt my salvation…”  That’s a VERY DANGEROUS place to be as a brother or sister in the LORD.

 Now on the flipside of this, Satan is ALWAYS condemning the Children of God.  Satan is always saying things like; “Well, you messed up, now you are going to hell…”  Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10) he accuses brothers and sisters in the Lord, day and night, he says; “You messed up, now you are going to hell…”  That is also a lie from satan, because God’s grace DOES cover over us when we sin, BUT WE HAVE TO REPENT FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEART.  Remember how Jesus taught the disciples when they asked; “How many times should we forgive? Should we forgive up to 7 times?” (Matthew 18:21-22)  Jesus did not say just forgive them 7 times and then tell them to go to hell, and Jesus doesn’t tell people to go to hell after 7 times either, but He says 70 times 7.  Jesus was not talking about what 70 times 7 is actually is mathematically, but perpetually if someone actually askes for forgiveness from their HEART. (Read Luke 17:1-4 for more clarity)

 The KEY here is DO WE MEAN BUSINESS WITH GOD from the bottom of our heart?  Or are we playing games with God, believing that we are entitled, that no harm will ever come to us, that we can walk on the edge of the cliff (that is on the border of sin) and that God will always have his hedge of protection around us.  Do we believe we are not going to hell just because we said a prayer when we were 8 years old?

 The entitled mentality and that easy grace mentality that we don’t have to do anything is also a lie from satan.  BOTH sides of this spectrum, the easy grace/ hyper grace and then also this condemnation side, that you are going to hell no matter what, BOTH sides of that are demonic.   True salvation is found in Jesus Christ when you mean business with Him from the bottom of your heart, when you are praying and you say; “Lord please save me!  I know that there is nothing that I can do to earn my salvation.  Please put YOUR righteousness in me, change me, get everything that is ungodly out of my heart and out of my life.  Purify me from ALL unrighteousness…”  And as you start to get your eyes on HIM and off of the doctrines of men, He picks you up, He purifies you and He puts A NEW SPIRIT IN YOU, and He makes you HOLY and RIGHTEOUS.  All the things that were defiling you He pulls OUT of your heart.  And as you are changed, He leads you in the newness of life.  So, I want to encourage people to not let condemnation fall on them.  And also, that they/you don’t fall into lukewarm living, but that we get our eyes on Jesus Christ and that we don’t let ANYTHING stop us from entering the Kingdom of God.  I hope this encourages someone to get their eyes on Jesus Christ, to REPENT of their sins and to follow Jesus Christ in complete holiness!  May the grace of Jesus be with you. 

 

Don't put your faith in the Rapture date

Don’t Put Your Faith in the Rapture Date

Don’t put your faith in someone’s word who has predicted the end of the world or a rapture date, the return of the Lord or the Day of the Lord.  The one thing ALL of these people have had in common is they have missed the date, they have been wrong, and they have misled people.  Jesus said this in Matthew chapter 24:36; “Of that day and hour no one knows, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN, BUT MY FATHER ONLY.”  They all know this verse, but they say; “But we know the times we are in, we know the season, we know what the starts of heaven are saying…” And so they look at what the moon and the sun is doing and the alignment of the stars in the galaxy and they see the blood moons, and then they think they can predict what God will do by the signs that God has put in the heavens.  But they are always wrong, because they are not following Jesus Christ.  Satan cannot predict when Jesus will return, he couldn’t predict when Jesus would be on this earth or what his plan would be (to foil it) even though all the prophets spoke of it, and the prophets knew.  The only way to know what is going to happen is to say in tune with the Holy Spirit, NOT in tune with a prophet on the internet.  All these prophets will fall  short, their words will not come true, their dates will fail.  This is what Jesus did say in Matthew chapter 24, I’m going to start in verse 4-13; “Take heed that NO ONE DECEIVES YOU.  For MANY will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.  And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.  See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the END IS NOT YET.”  See, a lot of people see the rumors of wars, we hear of the war that is happening right now, and people think it must be the end immediately.  But Jesus did NOT say the end would happen immediately during the time of this war, but He said the end is still to come, THE END IS NOT YET.  And then again Jesus said; Matt 24:11-13; “Then MANY FALSE prophets will rise up and deceive many.  And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.  But HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED.”   We cannot put our hope in being raptured, or a prophet’s rapture date.  We have to set in our hearts and our minds to endure to the VERY END OF OUR LIFE.  MANY people will be discouraged when the date comes and then it GOES and they are STILL HERE!  They will say; “Why was I not raptured?  Why did Jesus not come?”  And then they will have to question their entire foundation of their faith because NOTHING happened to the way THEY were imagining!  Is our faith REALLY in Jesus Christ?  Are we truly hearing from HIM?   Or are we listening to lying prophets and preachers and teachers who are led by their OWN imagination, who are led by their OWN thoughts of what the heavens are doing, that is the blood moons, what the sun and starts are doing… are we led by our own imagination of these things or are we truly in tune with the Holy Spirit?  It is true that God put signs in the heavens!  But WHO are we listening to?  Are we listening to Satan’s interpretation of that?  Are we listening to a lying prophet’s interpretation of that?  Or truly are we being led by the Holy Spirit?  Is HE in our heart?  And is our faith genuine and real because our eyes are on JESUS CHRIST, not anyone else?  Don’t put your faith in these prophecies that are coming out!  Don’t put your faith in the lying prophets.  And certainly DON’T put your faith in the rapture!  May the grace of Jesus be with you. 

 

 

The 4 Soils Parable Brought me Conviction

The message that I want to share that the LORD has put on my heart the last few day is in regards to the 4 soils, and if you want to read along with me it is in Matthew chapter 13, and the part I want to read is actually the part where Jesus explains the parable.  And as I read through it, you know, each one of us fall into one of these 4 categories. But the reason why it is convicting for me is because as I read through this I put myself in the shoes of each of these people, and I want you to do the same thing, as Jesus is explaining this parable, look at your own like and think; “Do I match this ground or am I really the good soil.  I’m starting in verse 18;

“Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.  This is he who received seed by the wayside.”   I could immediately say, well obviously that’s not me, most likely that is not you… the seed of the truth that God has planted in me, I have not denied, I have not rejected, but the Holy Spirit has grown in me.  So, for many of us we can just read on by that and it doesn’t bring us conviction…

“But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while.  For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, mediately he stumbles.”  A lot of people fall into this category but I can say “Not me”, I’ve went through persecution for my faith, I have gone through many trials, many things have happened to me, and still I push through, but I read on… Jesus says in verse 22;

 “Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.”  That to me is very convicting because in this world it is really easy to fall into the lusts of the flesh, it’s easy to be choked out by riches or by the deceitfulness of the lusts of your own flesh, sports, hobbies, just chasing after higher education… I’m not saying it’s wrong to be educated… But ALL of the things in this WORLD take your eyes off of Jesus and then you get choked out, and this is where most Christians will fail.  Most Christians aren’t immediately denying Jesus, they’re not falling away just because of a little persecution or a trial, but they do get choked out because of riches, or because of sports or things that they desire MORE than GOD.  And that also brings conviction to me and I want to make SURE that every single day I am fully in TUNE with the Holy Spirit and fully surrendered to HIM, because if we are not and we make other things a priority OVER GOD and we get lazy (in the Kingdom work) Then this world will certainly choke us out.  Many people are choked out by addictions of the world, they are choked out by their cell phones, or by the fear of the war that is going on, the fear of the things that are going to come upon the world, they are just choked out by everything in the world and instead of having their eyes fixed on their Creator, on the Lord Jesus Christ and producing FRUIT, they become totally fruitless. 

It is sad to see people at the end of their life that once were believers, who once were Christians but they no longer have anything to give.  I don’t want to be that Christian.  All my life whether I live long or short, I want it to be for the glory of God, always producing good fruit, always on fire for the Living God, bearing GOOD FRUIT ALL THE TIME FOR HIS NAME.  And in order to do that WE ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT HIM FIRST, and as we put HIM first He fills up His love in our heart, His truth, His words.  And that truth, that love, it bubbles up in us until we are like a cup overflowing with the water of life.  And that is how we need to be.  We need to be an encouragement to others, not a constant drain upon others.  We need to every single day be filled with the glory of God, pleasing Him, living for Him and enduring with Him. 

So, check your own life and ask; “Am I producing good fruit? Is my first thought of the day really for the LORD, asking Him, pleading with Him, HOW can I produce good fruit for YOU?  How can I deny myself correctly?  How can I honor you with my life?  How can I surrender everything that I have to you, my job, my money, my relationship my spouse, my children, my hobbies, my education, my carriers, my achievements… everything that I have?  How can I lay that down, cast my crowns before my God and say; “Have your way with me, to make me the man or the woman that you want me to be.”  Because that is the sort of people that enter the Kingdom of God.  That is the sort of people that we want to be, if we are gong to be the sons and the daughters of the Kingdom of Heaven.  I want to enter His Kingdom, and I know that I am not above anything that I preach, I am not excluded.   All of us are being watched by our Creator and everything we do is recorded and remembered and Jesus will judge every single one of us according to our works, that is our words, our actions, our thoughts, the things that we said and did.  Are we bearing GOOD FRUIT?  Are we good seed in good soil?  Or are we getting choked out by the world?  I encourage you to get anything and everything out of your life that is choking you, anything that pulls you down that keeps you away from God, that keeps you from being fruitful.  May the grace of Jesus be with you.    

And finally Matthew 13:23 says; “But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces; some a hundredfold, some sixty and some thirty.”    Are you good seed in good soil producing fruit? 

 

Satan will strip your identity

 

Satan Will Strip Your Identity

There was a time in my life that I did not know who I was.  That is because I was trying to become someone in the world, yet God had called me to the path of righteousness.  And God let me just fumble around in the wilderness, stumbling and not knowing my own identity.  Ironically enough, one summer I did a summer camp, it was a day camp with the junior high students that I was working with in the church.  And I called that summer camp “Identity”.  I made a shirt, and the shirt had a picture of a man on it that had some kind of a cage for his face, with a question mark.  And it basically meant that the man didn’t know his own identity.  And during that camp I was preaching on finding our identity in Christ. I new it with my MIND but in my heart spiritually I was LOST.  And I was lost for years even though I could preach the truth in church.  A lot of Christians are like how I was.  They know the truth, they know the bible, but still they are LOST IN THE WILDERNESS, they don’t know their own identity, and because they are trying to be something in the WORLD, they’re not finding their identity in Jesus Christ.  Are you really found in Jesus Christ?  Do you know Him and are you walking the path that HE wants you to walk?  Or are you lost in the world and having an identity crisis?  I encourage you to PRAY, seek after your Creator.  Get to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.  He loves you and He has a specific path for you to walk, and He will give you your identity in HIM because He loves you and He has a very specific plan for YOU.  Do you love Jesus and are you genuine with HIM and with yourself, are you genuine around other people because YOU ARE the person who Jesus made you to be?  Or are you trying to be someone else?  May the grace of Jesus be with you. 

 

Even Satan knows the gospel

 You will not go to heaven just by agreeing with the gospel. You actually have to LIVE the gospel and be as good seed in good soil, just as Jesus taught.  I run into a lot of folks who are Christians or were missionaries and they already know the gospel. But many of these people do not display any real Christian fruit in their life. How about you?  Have you truly repented and do you bear the fruit of righteousness in your life?

Predestined and election: Does God treat all equally?

 

Predestination Election: Does God Treat All Equally?

 

The Apostle Paul speaks about things such as election and predestination and God knowing where people are going to go even before they ae born, he speaks specifically in Romans 9 about the children of Israel, that is Jacob and Esau and how God loved Jacob and He hated Esau.  So, does God just choose some of us to go to hell while electing others to go to heaven?  The answer is God is ALWAYS JUST and He always judges us according to OUR HEART.  If you were just to read the writings of the Apostle Paul, say for example Romans 9, say 10-13, you may come to the conclusion that God just sends people to hell for no reason, He hates people for no reason and He loves other people and brings them in as His elect for no reason.  And that’s simply NOT true.  If you look at the lives of people like Jacob and Esau, they had a serious of choices and God worked with them through those things that they did in their life, and He called them to repent.  And God always is for the righteous, He is for the humble, He is always for those who repent of their mistakes.  Jacob did that and God was for Jacob.  But God is against those that harden their heart, who are rebellious and who refuse to come to Him.  I want to give you an example of this from another 2 brothers who were Cain and Able.  As we know Cain killed Able, but before Cain kills Able, God gives Cain a word to him and God says this to Cain; (Gen 4:6-7) “So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry?  And why has your countenance fallen?”  and then God says to him; “If you do well, will you not be accepted?  And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door.  And its desire is for you, but you should RULE OVER IT.””   God did not just predestine Cain for hell, He did not just predestine Cain to kill his brother, but God specifically came to Cain and He gave Him the words of life, he told him what he had to do, and told him he had a choice.  ALL of us have a choice, will we choose what is right?  Will we be in God’s blessing because we choose to do what is righteous?  Or will we be in God’s curse because we reject Him.  Don’t be deceived by the church that says, “You can do no wrong, you are just part of God’s elect, you have been saved long ago, you are gong to heaven…” And certainly don’t believe Satan’s lie that you’re just going to hell no matter what you do.  Satan will throw accusations at you saying; “You are just part of the damned, you have been hated since you were born, everyone knows that you are of a corrupted seed and God will send you to hell, you are just predestined no matter what you do…”  NONE of that is true.  If you look at the stories of just how God worked with His children He ALWAYS gave them the opportunity to repent, He didn’t just predestine the to heaven without cause, and He didn’t just damn them to hell without cause.  The Lord is ALWAYS JUST in His dealings.  We can gather some VERY wrong conclusions from what the Apostle Paul wrote, or what other people wrote throughout the Scriptures, but the truth is, THE LORD IS JUST.  He loves every single one of us, BUT HE DOES NOT TREAT US EQUALLY IN REGARDS TO WHAT WE DO.  If we choose what is evil God will start to detest us, He will hate our lives, He will hate us to the core because we are rejecting Him, we are rejecting His Spirit.  But on the flip side of that, if we reject SIN, if we reject the evil nature, if we can overcome then the Lord will receive us.  But we need to MASTER OUR SIN, we have to OVERCOME THE FLESH, we have to overcome hatred and evil desires, and if we do then the LORD will receive us.  There is a reason that God loved Able, and there is a reason God loved Jacob.  You know Jacob was a deceiver, he started out on the wrong foot, but he repented, he had a love for the LORD in his heart and he chose to walk in the way of the Lord, he wasn’t perfect but the Lord perfected him as he started walking with the Lord.  He had a heart to desire what was true and what was right.  He walked with the LORD.  So did Abraham his father, he wasn’t perfect, but he had a heart to walk with the LORD.  It  is true that even before we are born GOD KNOWS what choices we are going to make because God is Omnipotent, He knows ALL things.  But don’t fall into the thought that you can’t repent because God just is sending you to hell, that simply is NOT true.  No one is in hell because there were just predestined by God APART from their choices, their actions, the things that they physically and spiritually did.  You will be sent to hell if you reject the words of Jesus Christ.  You are accountable to your actions, your thoughts, and your words.  Will you overcome?  Will you MASTER SIN?  Will you OVERCOME IT?  Will you call on the name of Jesus and be saved or will sin master you and will you fall into temptation?  And will God reject you because you never came into His presence, you never overcame the darkness?  I hope that you overcome in the name of JESUS and really come into HIS love.  May the grace of Jesus be with you. 

You would fear God if you knew who He was

 

You Would Fear God if You Knew Who He was

Jesus taught that we aught to fear GOD, and this sense of fear means actually being fearful of God’s wrath.  A lot of Christians do not agree that we should fear God, but if they knew who God really was, they would fear Him.  It is the ignorant that don’t know God that don’t fear Him.  But everyone will fear God one day.  This is what Jesus taught about the fear of God in Matthew chapter 10:27-33; “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops, and do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.  But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.  Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all umbered.  Do not ear therefore; you are more value than many sparrows.  Therefore, whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.  But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”  Jesus Christ does not treat all of us equally, he pays back every single one of us ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS. (Matthew 16:27)  He loves every singe one of us, but He does NOT love evil, He does not love the coward, He does not love the sinner, He does not love the hypocrite.  And many of us WERE cowards, we were liars, we were hypocrites, we were immoral, but when we came to Jesus WE REPENTED and Jesus gave us a new life (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)  He changed our heart and our mind, He put in our conscience the right thing to do.  And He gave us the FEAR OF GOD, knowing that if we go back to the old ways, He has the power to cast us into HELL.  (Hebrews 10:26-27)  Many Christians don’t have ANY fear of God, they have believed the easy grace gospel lie, that God loves everyone the same and that everyone will just go to heaven in the end as long as they have just confessed that Jesus Christ is LORD.  You cannot just confess with your lips and go to heaven with your lip service. (Matthew 15:7-9)  If your heart is far from God, no matter what you confess with your lips God knows your heart and that you are a liar and a hypocrite.  Hypocrites and liars will have their part in the Lake that burns with fire.  (Revelation 21:8)  We have to truly repent, we have to have the fear of God in us, and when we do and when we seek after the Lord and hold His hand and walk with Him every day, He will protect us from our enemy.  We shouldn’t fear those who can threaten us and kill us physically but we have to always fear HIM, that is GOD, who after we are dead on this earth, has the power to cast our soul into HELL for all eternity!  Who do you really fear?  Do you fear God or do you fear men?  May the grace of Jesus be with you. 

Homosexuality and Christians

 

A LARGE portion of Christians still are against homosexuality and that is good. But the same Christians are themselves addicted to porn and are FULL of lust, and that is very bad. Pretty much every man is a slave to lust, falling every time. The only ones who are NOT a slave are the ones who have their eyes on Jesus and not on the half naked women. It's pretty easy to preach to the choir in church against a sin no one is struggling with. It is much harder to confess your sin to your fellow brothers and sisters and then to actually repent of it. But if you do not confess your secret sins and actually repent, you are also in danger of hellfire.  Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're better than anyone because you dont struggle with homosexuality. You must repent of YOUR sins and live holy or you will not inherit the kingdom of God either. God makes no exceptions.

Rediculous legalism around hats

 

Some Christians are very concerned about the writings of the Apostle Paul in 1st Corinthians chapter 11 which speak to head coverings. They literally think that if a woman is not wearing a hat she is a disgrace and her hair should be cut off. They also think that if a man is wearing a hat he shouldn't be praying or prophesying. So how does that coexist with the fact that we should be praying continually without ceasing? Does that mean that men should never wear a hat? Do we supposed any true man of God wearing a hat cannot be lawfully praying? What about when your job requires you to wear a hat all day and you want to pray? Will God condemn you for prayin in your uniform?  Let's NOT fall to legalism as many have who have misinterpreted Paul's letters!  Remember that Paul spoke to Christians both Jews and gentiles around year 50 a.d.  During this time it would have been considered promiscuous for a woman to take off her head covering in public. Also, apparently it was a sign a man was being disrespectful if he did not take his head covering off during a public prayer meeting, demonstrating to others that he did not respect them or God. But what about TODAY? Some suppose that these writings of Paul should be applied to you and to me. But take this into consideration: When was the last time any man has lusted after a woman for not wearing a hat? Be honest.  Likely, the times you fell to lust as a man was NOT due to a woman not wearing a hat, but due to tight clothing; such things as yoga pants, tight skirts, short dresses, crop tops and other sorts of immodest clothing that women wear. These sorts of apparel cause men to stumble into sexual sin. But I don't know of any man who fell into lust simply because a woman was not wearing a hat over her hair on the top. Likewise, when was the last time you saw men in our culture chose to be disrespectful by holding a public prayer meeting where they all decided to wear hats to demonstrate their rebellion against God? That just never happens because it's not a thing in our culture. So what is the purpose of bringing all this up?  The fact is God is ALWAYS looking at your HEART, not if you're wearing a hat or not. In your HEART you know what it means to be modest and respectful towards other brothers. In your HEART you know what it means to be modest and respectful in your culture and in your house and in your marriage! That is what you're going to be judged on; if you love God with your HEART and your neighbor as yourself and if you kept yourself pure. But no one is going to be sent to hell for wearing a hat while praying or not wearing a hat in public as a female. So let us be mature in our understanding and not legalistic as the hypocrites.

Jesus has come to deliver and set you free

 

Jesus has Come to Deliver and Set You Free

 

           Those who are captive and slaves to sin will be set free IF they put their faith in JESUS CHRIST.  This is what is recorded about Jesus in Luke 4:16-30

“16So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

Because He has anointed Me

To preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

 

20Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 22So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”

23He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.’ ” 24Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. 25But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; 26but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”

28So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. 30Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

 

           The Pharisees an the Jewish leaders of that day did not approve of the salvation of Jesus Christ, they were jealous and they wanted people to come to THEM, not to be set free from bondage and sin in the name of JESUS.  Today we have the exact same problem.  The church leaders are jealous of the power of God, they would rather you go to THEM, that you continually say in bondage, that you would not be set free so that you may feel compelled to pay them tithe, money every week and that you would continually go to THEM for your salvation.  But Jesus has come to set you free.  Not that you would be in bondage to SIN and DEAD RELIGION. 

I want to read to you what Jesus was reading from in Isaiah 61:1-3; “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captive, and the opening of the prison to those who are bond; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for  the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”

           For those that repent and find the righteousness of Jesus Christ, THEY WILL BE SAVED.  But the vengeance of God will come upon those who refuse to repent, just as the vengeance of God came upon the Pharisees who hated the words of Jesus Christ.  Will you be like those who were overjoyed to hear the words of Jesus?  Will you ask Him to set you free?  Will you come out of the darkness of sin?  Will you confess your sin and REPENT?  Or will you go more into BONDAGE and will the vengeance of GOD fall upon you. There is hope for you in the name of Jesus IF YOU REPENT TODAY. 

Hebrew Roots Movement

Jesus was not going around preaching the Ten Commandments, the Law of Moses and the Torah,  like the judaizers and the "Hebrew Roots movement" adherents are today. Jesus went around preaching the kingdom of God and called people to follow HIM, proclaiming that something greater had arrived, which was and IS Himself. Don't be deceived by the Hebrew Roots Movement or the judaizers. Get to know Jesus Christ for real. Hear His voice and Obey Him or God will reject you. 

God Hates Corruption: Remember Ananias and Sapphira

 God Hates Corruption:  Remember Ananias and Sapphira

These are the days to be very serious

about our life.

Many people think, that they can get away

with sin,

so they play games with God, they think,

that they're safe and secure, going to

heaven,

that God will never bring judgment upon

them,

so they continue to do sin, saying that

they are forgiven,

that they were saved long ago

and

they deceive themselves and they deceive

others.

While  I was driving home the other day,

the Holy Spirit reminded me of something

and that was the story about Ananias and

Saphira

and in the story of acts chapter 5, it's

the very beginning of the church age,

you have the apostles, who are

testifying that Jesus Christ is alive

and people are coming into the faith

and people are all giving to the greater

good of the church, helping one another,

being one body, the body of Christ

and you see this man, who goes out and he

buys (sells) a plot of land

and he buys it for a certain sum of

money, maybe that was about a hundred

thousand dollars

of today's money

and then he goes to the church

and he talks to Peter and he tells Peter

that

he has bought this plot of land for

twenty thousand dollars and he will give

ALL the proceeds

or

when he sold the land, I mean,

so all the money, that he got from

selling this land, he will give to the

church and Peter by the Holy Spirit immediately

knows that Ananias is lying

and

immediately after Peter confronts him

telling him that

he could have given any amount of money,

that he wanted to the church, but because

he's lying, he's lying to the Holy Spirit

and immediately for his corruption

Ananias falls dead and the young man, the

young men in the church drag him off to

the graveyard and they bury him.

Just a few minutes later after that of

course Ananias's wife comes in and

they do

kind of a sting operation, they,

you know, ask her, they don't just tell

her, that

her husband's dead, but the church

members, they say: How much was it, that

you bought that or you sold that land

for?

And she says the same thing: oh, it was

$20 000, you know,

and immediately she lies and they

confront her and they say:

well, your husband is already dead and

the same feet, that

drug him out and buried him you will

also be dead with him and she falls dead

and breathes her last and they bury her

next to

her husband, you know the story most

likely.

        I have heard this story,

also taught in the churches and the

pastors act as though

God was once vengeful, He was once very

strict, He was once against sin, but now

God has changed,

now God doesn't stand up against

corruption,

the pastors will come out and say: "Well

if God did that today, everyone in our

church would be dead..."

And they are right. If God did do that,

everyone would be dead and the truth is,

why God doesn't do that in the churches

today is because the churches belong to

satan. (God does not judge The Outsiders first before he judges His own people)

The churches don't belong to the Holy

Spirit, they belong to the devil.

If

God hates corruption and God has not

changed,

the same God who

killed Ananias and Saphira

will also kill and destroy all of those,

who are claiming to be disciples, who are

claiming to be Christians,

but who are living in corruption.

God is against corruption, He is against

the corrupt church

and the corrupt church leaders will be

killed by the hand of God.

God has not changed,

it's not that God used to be strict and

He used to love justice and He used to

love

discipline and now He's gone

mushy, you know, now He's 

lazy in His discipline.

God has not changed,

it is the opinions of men that have

changed.

   The church of today

is many times more corrupt,

we look back at that

situation of acts chapter 5 with Ananias

and Saphira and we just think: man,

that's how it was in the olden days, i'm

glad, God's not like that, that's not true.

God is going to discipline His children

and He's going to kill those,

who are corrupt.

When this happened in the early church,

GREAT fear fell on them, the fear of God

fell upon them, because they knew, that

God was real and He is serious.

We cannot live in any corruption,

make sure, that you get yourself and your

family out of the churches of today,

they're corrupt, more corrupt, than any

organization.

they're bringing people to hell,

the doors of the church are one in the

same as the doors to hell, you go in

there and you're walking yourself into

the pit of hell.

The pastors are agents of satan,

they are corrupt.

Don't allow corruption to come upon you

and your family and therefore

also the judgment of God. Come out and be

separate from the harlot church system,

come out and be separate from people, who

are corrupt,

people who are living in sin and in

bondage.

If you come out and be separate

the Holy Spirit will receive you, you

will become a child of God, Jesus will

lead you by His Holy Spirit,

but if you continue to let men guide you,

who are corrupt in church,

for this reason the judgment of God is

coming upon many Christians, that's why

many of them are sick and dying, diseased,

their families are falling apart, this is

all due to sin

and these things are

the punishment of God.

I warn you to stay separate,

don't get into a church, get out of

church and get into a relationship with

Jesus Christ, He is alive

and He leads His little flock.

His true flock is small and they're

scattered all around the world,

different places,

but when the Holy Spirit calls them out

of the world, then they follow the lamb,

wherever He leads, they sanctify

themselves in His blood.

Jesus purges them of sin

and then they do the acts of

righteousness, every single day they wake

up praying

and praising the Lord and throughout the

day they pray continually, they rejoice

in the Lord, they sing His praises,

they do good for others,

it's not about going to church on

sundays or on Saturdays, it's not about

religion or ceremonies,

it's about living our life

under the guidance of the Holy Spirit

every moment.

Are we doing that, are we connected to

the Holy Spirit?

Are we free of sin and hypocrisy

or are we like the worldly Christians,

who are still into pornography, into

ungodly music, going out to the malls and

watching all the movies,

addicted to the media, acting just like

all the movie actors,

following celebrities,

but at the same time having bible study

in their home, thinking, that they have a

form of righteousness?

Make sure, that you stay separate, keep

yourself far away from dead religion and

people that call themselves Christians,

Churchgoers, pastors, elders,

leaders in the church, keep yourself away

from them,

because the judgment of God is coming on

those, who live disorderly.

God is against sin,

He is against hypocrisy!

and He is certainly against corruption!

May the grace of Jesus be with you.

 

Is your country worth dying for

 

Is Your County Worth Dying For?

 

These are days to be very serious about our relationship with the living God, with Jesus Christ.  None of us know how long we have to live. We could be killed tomorrow.  None of us know if these wars will escalate into a world war, if it will be nuclear war. And there's a lot of talk about this right now.  But more than ever we're finding ourselves in a time to be very serious, because we are in the fringes.  Jesus decides if we live or die, but many people obviously die in war, and a lot of people are willing to die for their country. It came out on the news the other day about how some of the Ukrainians stood up against the Russians and how their last words were curse words to their enemy and all 13 of them were killed, in that battle, in that war.  Do we think that they died a noble death? Will they be able to stand before God and will God say to them; “Good job for cursing your enemies, good job for your last words being profanities and hatred towards others.”? These men were patriotic and many of us are patriotic for our country, but what does it matter if we have a homeland in this world, but we have no part of the kingdom of God?   Jesus said; “What does a man gain if he gets the whole world but loses or forfeits his own soul.”  What will it matter at the end of the day if you have stood up for your homeland if you've defended your property with your own weapons, but your own life is taken, your wife is raped, your children are put in concentration camps, what's it going to matter at the end of the day that you fought for your little bit of freedom in this world?  You would be far better off surrendering, being the slave that you have spiritually been already, and let those people dominate over you, than for you to think that you're free physically, but be a slave spiritually.  Most all Americans are slaves, most of the world, all of Europe included, this continent included, we are all SLAVES TO SIN.  And whether we think we're free men and free women or not, spiritually we are slaves and God gives us into our slavery when we refuse to come out of it.  This happened time and time again with God's own children, the Israelites, they were given into the hands of the Babylonians, they were given into the hands of people who hated them, who made them slaves.  Many of them were tortured and killed.  We know that Egypt forced them in times past to do many work projects and they treated them very poorly.  These things all happened because Israel became slaves spiritually and then they became slaves physically.  

But what land are we willing to die for?  The only land that I'm willing to die for is the New Jerusalem, the Kingdom of Heaven, that is Zion spiritually.  If we have a land that doesn't exist here then moth and rust can't destroy thieves and armies can't break in and steal and take what we have.  Even if we're thrown in prison and put to death, nothing will be able to infiltrate and take over the land that we fight for.  But every land here can be taken over and we know that the end of the world ends in fervent heat and destruction, where the elements burn.  That could be nuclear war.   That could be the hand of God allowing nations to destroy nations bringing the end of the whole world. That could be God allowing climate change to warm up the earth so much, not that it's “climate change” (manipulative agenda from the government) as people say, but maybe God will allow humans to bring destruction upon themselves for their evil?  There's a lot of ways that the world could end, but it looks very obvious for many of us how we may die, at the hands of infidel nations, men who are ungodly, but God allows these men to bring judgment upon the world, because the sins of the world are great.

 I hope that we don't stand up for patriotism, thinking that if we're just patriotic to our own country then we'll make it into heaven, because being patriotic for Ukraine or Russia or the United States or China or whatever country you're a part of, will NOT make you inherit everlasting life.

 God's children are in every nation.  All of us who surrender to the Lamb of God all of us who surrender to him and follow Him wherever He goes, we become part of a new nation. It’s not being a patriotic to whatever our homeland is here in this world and about killing other people, but it is about bringing people into the New Jerusalem, into Zion, that is the kingdom of Heaven, the kingdom of God, winning souls into everlasting life through the power of Jesus Christ.  That is the kingdom that we need to live for and die for and if we're not for that Kingdom, we're in big trouble.  Satan has got many people just to be patriotic, they hate other nations, they have murderous thoughts, even of their brothers and sisters, their own family members.  They're ready to kill for their country for being patriotic, but what do you think will happen when their country is taken over and they are dead and stand before God in judgment?  Will he say, good job?  Will He say good job, you blew up some of the infidels, you're very patriotic?  The kingdom of God is about righteousness and love, loving others as yourself, even loving your enemies. Even those who love themselves they hate their enemies, this world that hates all people, they even love their own though that are like them.  But Jesus called us to pray for people that persecute us and hate us to pray for our enemies, to love others to do good to others, to be good Samaritans.  That is not easy to do, it is easy to hate those who hate us, to have evil thoughts of those that have evil thoughts against us, to slander those that slander us and to stand up for patriotism. But if we want to win the spiritual war, this war of Armageddon, that is the REAL war.  The real war is not Ukraine against Russia, the real war isn't you know, China against the United States or some other war that may happen in the future.  The real war is satan versus your soul.  All the souls that are in this world, that is the war of Armageddon and in the end either you enter into everlasting life with Jesus Christ or into everlasting damnation.

 One of the ways satan gets all of us, is to make us doubt, we start losing hope in the revelations of the Holy Spirit and I know right now a lot of people are discouraged. They don't hear from God as clearly as they can, they're distracted by everything that's happening in the world, by this war and it's very easy to lose hope when you take your eyes off of Jesus Christ.  I don't know how many times I have had a word from the Lord and satan immediately told me; “That word is irrelevant, everyone knows that message already, don't even bother uploading that video, you already know that message that's very juvenile it's very elementary, don't worry about speaking it, you don't need to.  God's children are already safe and secure and the rest of the world won't listen anyways…”  I don't know how many times satan has tried to snatch the Word of God that has come to me and come to others.  But I upload those videos anyway.  The Lord, you know, He gives us messages and we share them with others and the devil constantly brings accusations against us as brethren, satan is called the accuser of the brethren.  And if I were to listen to satan, I wouldn't be uploading this video right now, because even this video I'm making, the devil accused me and said; “You know people already know all this, you know people are either receiving the truth or rejecting it, so don't worry, you know, don't bother preaching the truth…”  But I continue on because I want to obey the Holy Spirit and do His works even if people reject it, even if they don't listen and we can't just pay attention to how people respond.  What drives us should be just doing the work of the Holy Spirit no matter what.  What drives us should be obeying Jesus Christ, living by His words, even if people don't receive it at all.  We can't listen to satan or let him get us down or let him discourage us.  And a lot of people are losing faith because they go and say; “You know what, everyone's either safe and secured and going to heaven or they've already taken the mark of the beast, so why am I bothering anyway…”  Well the reason why you should bother, is because Jesus has called you for a specific task, that is to righteousness and you are still on this earth with a purpose, that is of love, to love others is yourself, to love your Creator and to make disciples.  Not everyone is called of course to go on Youtube, or to preach online or to go preach on the street, but everyone is called to make disciples in one way or the other. When we come to Jesus we become fishers of men, we call others with our life to repent.  There's not a formula to it, it's not about following someone else's formula, it's not about just passing out tracks or something like that religiously, but with our LIFE we have to proclaim the truth, with our life we have to bear good fruit, otherwise we'll get cut off.

A lot of people, they try to make these formulas of following God and these do's and these don’ts, it becomes a religion.  And then they feel guilty and ashamed if they don't do certain things religiously every single day.  But with following Jesus it's about doing life with Him, hearing Him, going where He calls us to go, honoring Him, having His love for others in our heart.  Loving the Lord our God with all of our heart and that out spilling of that love from the Holy Spirit is what drives us, and we want others to know the living God, so of course we tell them about the joy we have in Jesus Christ.

 So, I encourage you not to let satan get you down in these times of war and pestilence and all these things happening in the world.  Don't let satan have his arrows in you, don't let his arrows of hatefulness or bitterness be in you or discouragement or confusion.  We would do much better just keeping our eyes on him and doing the things that we know to be upright and pure every day. Praying!  Praying for others, confessing our sins, apologizing to people that we have offended and keeping ourselves unstained from the world.  If we do these things, we'll be going in the right direction, we'll be walking into everlasting life with Jesus Christ, but if we get discouraged and think; “Well I’m either just going to heaven or hell anyway and the whole world's either going to heaven or hell…”, we'll get complacent and then we won't do the work of the Holy Spirit and satan will be winning.   We don't want to give satan any ground.  We want to fortify our own country, that is our own heart.  We want to let ourselves be a temple for the Holy Spirit, we want to be the living church, that the Holy Spirit resides in.   We are the Body of Christ, we are the light of the world.   Jesus said; “You are the light of the world, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”  

I want to be shining the light of Jesus. I don't want to be a coward running away, hiding, fearful, doubtful, ashamed, unwilling to apologize.  I want to be able to make it into the kingdom of God and because of that, I continue to fear God, I continue to work out my relationship with God, and as much as possible with others.  I work at peace, not making war with other people, and I diligently pursue the voice of the Lord, hearing His voice so that then I can walk by FAITH all the time.

When there's something we know that is wrong in us, whether it's doubt, a malicious thought, hatred towards, others a bad thought, instantly that stunts us from being able to grow.  If you have any doubt in you at all, then it makes it impossible for you to witness to others, you feel; “If I don't believe in God then how can I tell any anyone else about Him?”  All of that negativity you have to overcome, you have to overcome satan, don't let him speak this kind of doubt into your heart and into your mind.  And when the Holy Spirit gives you a word, don't think that it is too mundane, too boring or that everyone already knows it, but just speak it in truth and in love that others may be edified, that you may edify the true church of God, that people may see your good works that they may glorify God and come out of the world of depression, sin, drugs and alcohol, adultery, fornication and all this wickedness that's in the world.

 I pray that you will be a warrior for the kingdom of God not letting satan take any ground in THAT country.  The country we need to live for and die for is the Kingdom of God, not America or China or Ukraine or Russia or whatever country you're from, because when we have the rebirth, we leave our old nationalities behind, and we become citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. Are you a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven? Do you fight for that country?  Is Jesus Christ your president?  Or do you have a president here on this earth?  Will you kill and murder for the sake of your country?  Do you have hatred towards your brothers and sisters, because they're of a different worldly country than you?   Or truly are you a part of the New Jerusalem the kingdom of heaven.  May the grace of Jesus be with you.

What the Holy Spirit desires all people to accept is the truth of God, and that message is about when we as individuals and or a nation should FIGHT, and when we as individuals or as a nation should SURRENDER.  And this is a very important question because it could determine the fate of your own life or the life of your family or the life of YOUR WHOLE NATION.  And as this war between Ukraine and Russia continues, this is also the question.  But it is no question in the mind of Zelenskyy of course.  It’s no question for those who are Ukrainians, obviously they desire to defend their homeland.  But if you are a CHRISTIAN, if you are wanting to follow JESUS CHRIST, you do want to do the best thing FOR YOUR OWN SOUL, your own family, despite what the government says, despite what the political leaders say.  So, what is the right thing to do?  When is the time to pick up weapons and defend your family, and when is the time to surrender?  Because after all, when you are killed, you will stand before God and He will either say; “Welcome into my Kingdom…”  Or “Away from Me you who commit iniquity…”   It will not matter if you were patriotic.  The only thing that will matter is if you were right with your creator.  You need to be thinking BEYOND PATRIOTISM, beyond the countries of this world.  You need to be thinking about the Kingdom of God.  Of course nation will come against nation, kings will come against kings, we know that this is all prophesied.  And people are going to fight to the death.  We will let the world do what the world is going to do and make their decisions, but the word to the WISE is this; HEAR THE HOLY SPIRIT, learn what the HOLY SPIRIT said to men of old.  HEAR HIS VOICE TODAY!  Because if you don’t hear Him and you fight to the death, you may lose your own country, you may lose your own family, you may lose your OWN SOUL.  And in the afterlife you will have no hope.  You will not inherit eternal life for being patriotic.  SO, the word to the wise is; LEARN TO HEAR THE LIVING GOD YOUR CREATOR.  You are hear for a purpose and you need to  figure out what that purpose is.  You need to know when to fight and when to surrender.  You need to know WHAT to fight.  We know that the battle is not with physical bodies or the principalities of this world (flesh) But with the principalities of darkness and we need to know how to fight spiritually. 

              I want to bring to everyone’s memory what happened in the past, this was about 600 BC during the time of Jeremiah, and the Chaldeans which came in to take over, they were part of Babylon, and they came in to take over Israel.  And God warned the Prophet Jeremiah to speak to the king Zedekiah.  No one wanted to hear this message.  Because the message wasn’t to be a valiant king, it wasn’t to defend their nation, but THIS was the message that came from God: (Jeremiah 38:17-18) “Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says the LOR, the God of hosts, the God if Israel:  “If you surely SURRENDER to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul shall live; this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live.  But if you do not surrender to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans; they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape from their hand…” 

              As we know Zedekiah did not want to be a salve.  The Word of the Lord came to Zedekiah through the Prophet Jeremiah, and Jeremiah warned him, if you surrender you will live, but if you try to fight you will die.  Now of course he prophesied over the king that Zedekiah himself would not die, but that he would die in peace, in the sense that he would be a slave until his death, but that he would not physically be beheaded (or killed in the capture).  But he was warned that if his nation fought that they would die, and this is exactly what happened.  Zedekiah basically says he doesn’t want to be a salve, he will never stand down but he will stand up and he wanted to be a war hero, he wanted people to see him as bold, as courageous, he never would be a slave, he would never let his people go into captivity.  But Jeremiah tells him in more or less words that they are slaves already, they are slaves to SIN, and because Zedekiah does not want to hear the words of the Living God, but wants to live according to his pride and defend his family, what ends up happening is they all put to death, the Chaldeans come in, they take over, they make them their slaves, they imprison them, they are prisoners of war, and all of them die. 

              So, the question here is, when is the time to stand up and fight, because there ARE times to stand up and fight, fight for our country, fight for our family… and there are other times when we are called to surrender.  What is the Word of God to us?   We are in big trouble if we cannot hear His WORD!  The word to Jeremiah to speak to Zedekiah was not to be triumphant, it was not to stand and fight, in fact it was the opposite, it was to surrender.  And because he did NOT do that, he lost the war.  They were invaded and they were destroyed as a nation. 

The answer to this question depends on where your nation is with GOD. Is your nation or your family unit, or you personally, for that matter right with God?  Are you living HOLY?  Is evil out of your life?  Are the children of your family clean and pure before GOD? Because if you are and then the LORD calls you to stand up for what is RIGHT and to FIGHT, then HE WILL BE WITH YOU.  But if the Living God is NOT with your army, your soldiers, and if He has prophesied against you because THERE IS SIN IN YOUR CAMP, then no matter how much you try to fight for FREEDOM, you will lose the battel, you will lose the WAR, and everything will be lost including your own family, your own wives, your own children and your own soul. 

We Know that after Jeremiah prophesied that even the wives and children were captured and the prophecy was this; (Jer. 38:23)  “So they shall surrender all your wives and children to the Chaldeans.  You shall not escape from their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon.  And you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.”  We know that even the wives and the children did not escape.  These things will repeat again and again in history.  Men always want to be valiant; they always want to stand up, all of us want to stand up and protect our families, that is human nature.  But the question is; WHAT DOES THE LIVING GOD SAY?  ARE WE HEARING HIM? AND DO WE KNOW WHAT TO DO?  If we listen to Him we will surely live, but if we reject Him for bravery, the arm of the FLESH, for what people think, then we shall surely be put do death, just like all the old kings and all the old nations were.  History just repeats itself over and over and over again.  Who are we listening to?  Do we hear the Word of the LORD?  Can we really hear Jesus Christ?  Do we KNOW how to hear Him?  Or have we been bamboozled by the word, by what strong men look like in the flesh? 

Hearing God starts with being able to see Him in everything, hear Him in everything.  Do you hear God by being able to see Him in nature, being able to see Him work though your own children, seeing Him work through the trials and the tribulations that you see in your own life?  Are you able to overcome when you see these things happening?  And do you lean to hear His voice so that you can move forward in your faith with little steps?  Or do you continue to fall in the small things in your own life, fall to sin, fall to the lusts of the flesh, fall to greed, fall to anger, fall to drugs and alcohol, fall to pornography, fall to all these parasites that come up in your own life?  If you can’t defeat the things that come up in your own life then you can’t defeat the enemy that will come against your family, and if your family is broken down then your town is broken down.  If your town and your city is broken down then your NATION is broken down and you will not just lost the small battles, but you will lose the war. 

I fear God more than losing my own family or my own life and because of this I listen to the WORD OF GOD first!  It doesn’t matter if people think that we are valiant, strong, bold, courageous, it doesn’t matter how we appear in the eyes of the world.  WHAT MATTERS IS IF WE CAN HEAR THE LIVING GOD, IF WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US.  SUPERNATURALLY IS HE PROVIDING FOR US.  Do we hear HIM?  Because if we don’t we are in very grave danger of losing our nation, losing our soul, losing our family.  No one will escape. 

Can you see Him working in your life?  Do you hear the Word of GOD, are you hearing HIS VOICE?  If you can’t, you have absolutory no direction or hope.  You will be killed; your family will be killed and all will be lost.
