A time to fight and a time to surrender

 

A Time To Fight And A Time To Surrender

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. 

Following Jesus isn't about joining a local church

Following Jesus ISN’T About Joining a Local Church

Following Jesus Christ is not about joining a local church body, it’s not about anything other than being part of the body of Christ, receiving His Holy Spirit and doing HIS will every day.  Jesus said that His sheep, they hear His voice, they don’t follow strangers, but they will run from strangers.  The Christian church today is full of hypocrisy, sin, vile sins, that even many of those in the WORLD do not commit.  Such hypocrisy GOD HATES.  Christians today are being duped to think that following Jesus means joining a church, getting plugged into a ministry.  But following Jesus has nothing to do with going to church, but everything with becoming the body of Christ.  You cannot be the body of Christ with sin in your life.  You cannot be the body of Christ simply by getting together with other so called “believers”, that is hypocrisy. (playing church)  You can be part of the body of Christ even if you are stuck on a submarine on the bottom of the ocean, or on a satellite somewhere up above the earth.  No matter where you are, if you are a child of God, if you have received His Holy Spirit, you are part of the body of Christ (not because you play church, but because you belong to JESUS) This deception about the “localized church body” is manipulation, it is wickedness.  This is satan’s way to control Christians WHO ARE NOT HEARING THE HOLY SPIRIT!  Satan tells them, “You have to be part of one local church, you have to give your tithe there, you have to submit yourself to the authority there, hear your pastor, listen to him…”  And because satan controls the pastors and the churches, because he has made them into a business, then he will control and manipulate you and your family and walk with you to hell.  Satan is on his way to hell, and he is taking as many Christians as he possibly can.  Satan will be right there by your side, walking with you, taking you and your family to hell IF YOU ALLOW him to.  Don’t be part of these local churches.  Don’t be part of their communion, don’t be part of their prayers, don’t have anything to do with the churches that are 501(c)3, don’t have anything to do with these government churches, the churches that are on all the street corners in the cities and the towns, in our communities, those are NOT the TRUE church.  The true church IS THE BODY OF CHRIST THAT FOLLOWS THE LAMB WHEREVER HE LEADS.  They are HOLY, they are separated for the PURPOSE OF GOD!  They will live for Jesus Christ and DIE FOR HIM!  They honor the brothers and sisters in the Lord because they are PART of the BODY OF CHRIST, not because they are manipulated into a church to pay tithes or to do religion on Sundays.  Don’t be duped by this foolish organization, organizations of men, owned and operated by men and controlled by satan.  Come out and be separate, have your family be separate.  You need to be separate.  And don’t JUST come out of church, but let all church come out of you and out of your family.  Don’t think they way that they do.  Be completely separate and sanctified and HOLY for the purpose of the HOLY SPIRIT of the Living GOD to be working through you.  Otherwise you are not part of the Body of Christ, that is the TRUE body of Christ, that worships the Living GOD in SPIRIT and in TRUTH.  The true church is not bricks and mortar, it is not just a group that meets in a home or a house, but it is those who hear the Spirit of the Living GOD in their souls.  He is working through their heart, He is changing their mind.  Are we part of the true body of Christ or are we just running around joining local church bodies, like the hypocrites, the heathens, the infidels and those who refuse to come into the glory of God, who refuse true repentance.  Are we being deceived and duped by satan?  Satan will go with you to hell if you let him, he will take you there, but it is YOUR choice if you will follow satan or if you will cut off wickedness from your life and join the true body of Christ, if you will follow Jesus Christ with ALL your heart, all your soul, all your might and all your strength!  You can’t follow Him unless you are separate from ungodliness.  Separate yourself from people that are ungodly, family members that are ungodly.  Separate yourself from bad habits, from cursing, profanity, dirty jokes.  Separate yourself from everything that is vile on TV and on the internet, pornography etc… all these things will pollute you.  Sin will take you and your family straight to hell.  I warn you that these day are serious.  We could be dead tomorrow and you need to worry about the afterlife, not about the stock market, not about Covid, you need to worry about your soul’s destination!  You cannot control if OTHER people go to heaven or hell, but you have control over your OWN life.  You can choose to repent.  Jesus will not force you to repent.  He will never force anyone to follow Him with all their heart.  YOU have to choose to follow Jesus.  He has made the way for you to repent with His own blood.  Jesus resurrected from the dead, HE IS ALIVE.  He is willing to lead you and guide you, he loves you, but unless you dedicate your life to Him and get away from people that are causing you to sin, and to do evil, you won’t be able to follow the Holy Spirit, you will not be able to receive His Holy Spirit.  Get out of church, get out of worldliness.  Follow Jesus with all your heart or you will perish. 

 

Stay away from debt and indoctrination

I went to a junior college not quite knowing what I wanted to do and then I transfer to a 4-year University where I got my degree in biblical literature and Christian contemporary ministries. Overall it was a blessing and the Lord led me into His plan. We learn from our mistakes and I am glad for what I have learned already. But if I were to encourage a young person in education after High School, I would recommend a trade school a vocational school. That is because both public and private schools push very wicked agendas these days, they're not so much about education but about indoctrination and making you a product of the society. Private Christian School, is every bit as wicked as a State school or any other for that matter. Vocational trade schools teach you a very specific skill that will be beneficial for you to have in life. Most likely, you will come out of that school with less debt than a four-year University and you will immediately be able to enter the workforce. This is to great benefit in following Jesus because you can be independent from debtors and ready to go where Jesus calls you, as opposed to being strapped down with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt as soon as you graduate. What are your skills and abilities and talents? What has God given you enjoyment of that is Godly? Use these things for God's glory and His purpose and you will be blessed greatly. But if you pursue worldliness and let the world indoctrinated you, you will become a product of Satan's kingdom.

Why can't I hear God?

 

Why Can’t I Hear God?

I want to make this message about hearing from God because a lot of people, they have a sort of a prayer life where they get discouraged because they don’t hear from Jesus the way they want to.  And we know that we should be hearing from the Lord.  So, how do we know the Lord’s voice, how do we hear from Him?  Well, Jesus says that we have to worship Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. (John 4:24)   We don’t just hear Him in our mind.  People are always wondering, do you just hear God, voices in your head?  But Satan can speak into your mind, the TV can speak into your head through your ears and through your eyes.  But we need to be hearing the Holy Spirit in SPIRIT and in TRUTH.  And when God created us, He created us with the ability to hear Him in spirit IF we would ask for the Holy Spirit to guide us.  So, what we ought to do is pray and say; “Lord please, give me the ears that hear you, I want to be in tune with your Holy Spirit.”  And then when we pray we have to listen for Him in the very bottom of our heart, in the bottom of our soul, the area where we KNOW right from wrong.  It’s not just a guessing game, it’s not about our emotions, but it’s the part of us that knows right from wrong.  Some things we’re not sure about, we pray about those things, we say; “Lord, I’m not sure if this is right or wrong…”  But we don’t just jump in front of Him and just suppose right from wrong.  If there is something we really don’t know we wait upon the Lord, we wait for Him to answer us, but we have to continue in prayer, being steadfast in prayer.

 One reason a lot of people cannot hear God is because they have not passed the elementary principles of their faith.  The things that the Holy Spirit has asked them to do LONG ago (the have left undone) They have not repented.  They have not forgiven the people they needed to forgive, they haven’t confessed and repented of sins that they KNOW are wrong.  They still have secret sins in their life and when the Holy Spirit has convicted us of something that we need to do, and if we aren’t doing that, it doesn’t matter how much more we ask to hear from God, we will still be spiritually stuck, until we overcome that, whatever that sin was or whatever that thing was the Holy Spirit asked us to do. 

One example that I have of this is when I was still in church, I was into a lot of music, and I just knew the Holy Spirit was calling me to get rid of all my music from the time I was young.  From when I was young, all the way back to when there was cassette tapes, I had music from band’s that I had listened to.  And I knew the Holy Spirit was calling me to get rid of all this old music.  But for some time it just sat on my shelf.  I could not grow in my faith until I followed through with what the Holy Spirit wanted me to do and get rid of all that old garbage music.  So, one day I took all the music, all the CD’s, everything that I had that was ungodly in music and I threw it in the dumpster.  And that allowed me to grow in my faith, to move forward in righteousness with JESUS.  But if I didn’t do that, and if that was pricking my conscience, but I was saying; “God I pray that you speak to me today, give me a NEW word…” I WOULDN’T receive any new word or expect to hear ANYTHING from the Lord because He had already spoken to my conscience something I NEEDED TO DO and if I wasn’t doing that I just simply wouldn’t grow.  And a lot of full grown men and women are still stuck spiritually as children, they are still stuck as infants in the Kingdom of God, NOT in a good way, not that they have “child-like faith”, but spiritually they are not developing, they are premature because they haven’t repented, confessed, they haven’t grown in their faith in the way that they should.  They are disobedient children, and they are slow to obey. 

So, I encourage you, if you want to hear God, if you want to know who He really is, then make sure you obey the things that you know are very basic.  Do you have profanity out of your life?  Do you have all those things that you know are ungodly out of your life?  Or do you still have ungodly friends, are you allowing things that you know are perverted and sinful like pornography and all of that kind of stuff into your house?  Do you have movies and ungodly music in your house?  These are things that will prevent you from hearing God and receiving His Holy Spirit.  Make sure that you truly repent of these things.  Seek after the Lord and be pure, and He will teach you.  He will speak to you and guide you, but you have to be willing to move and go forward in your faith with Him, otherwise YOU WILL BE STUCK.  I hope this helps someone to hear from God and to really confess their sins and repent of them and move forward in their faith.  May the grace of Jesus be with you. 

Sola Scriptura is a lie

Sola Scriptura is a Lie

The doctrine of “Sola Scriptura” is a doctrine of demons and a doctrine from hell.  The Bible itself does not support this doctrine.  Abraham did not have a Bible, he had FAITH and he came into the knowledge of the Living God and his Messiah through FAITH.  We have to come into the knowledge of the truth through the same faith Abraham had, because GOD HAS NOT CHANGED.  We know even from the Scriptures that the Holy Spirit speaks to us OUTSIDE THE SCRIPTURES, that’s why Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would tell us things that we already know, remind of things to come, and tell us things in the future.  (John 14:26 & 16:13) Those things in the future are not recorded in the Bible.  And in one place in the Scriptures we read that if everything that Jesus said was recorded that it would fill up all the books of the entire world.  (John 21:25)  We know that not everything Jesus said or wanted to say is recorded in the Scripture, but DO WE HEAR FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT WHAT WE DO NEED TO HEAR FROM THE LORD?  Many Christians are idolizing the Scriptures, they do that so that they can manipulate it, so that others cannot hear from God for themselves.  THEY want to be the authority, THEY want to be the one teaching and guiding you.  But Jesus did NOT promise the Bible, He did not promise a man or a church, Jesus promised the BETTER GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT to lead us, to guide us and to teach us ALL THINGS, guiding us into ALL TRUTH!  Read again what Jesus said in John chapter 14-16 with open ears, open eyes, and an open heart to the Truth of GOD!  Jesus Christ is the infallible one, NOT THE SCRIPTURES.  Make sure that you really know Jesus Christ, that you hear from Him and that you obey HIM.  May the grace of Jesus be with you.
