A New but Not New Mission

AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore", stated Dorothy in the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' which first appeared in theaters in 1939. I agree with Dorothy's line which describes her shock and wonder at realizing she was no longer in a place she recognized, a place that was safe and secure but was now in a place of fantasy complete with talking animals, flying monkeys, witches, and the infamous great Wizard of Oz. I too feel like I have been transported to some fantasy land of make believe characters coming to life. My line is, "Fellow true Christians, I've a feeling we're not in world that wants truth anymore." And the same charade that the Wizard of Oz tried to pull over the eyes of Dorothy and her fellow new friends, the bellowing statements "DON'T LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN, I'M ALL POWERFUL", but in truth there was no real power behind the curtain at all. It was just a smokescreen, an act, the truth was the wizard was just an old, tired, man who had gotten lost and ended up in the land of OZ. That is where we are today. Satan is the new fake 'wizard of Oz', bellowing loudly, "DON'T LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN, I'M ALL POWERFUL" and he has the whole world believing in his deception.

Today the Christian world is at odds, there are two debates regarding the current times. Some are saying 'we're not in the last days, you're just crazy'; others are saying 'we are living in the last days, wake up." I am in the camp that believes WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS! The prophecies about 'the end of days' were clearly described by Jesus when His disciples asked in Matthew Chapter 24 verse 3, "What will be the sign of Your coming and the END OF THE AGE?" The prophecies given by Jesus Himself in verses 5 through 14 HAVE BEEN FULFILLED and are BEING FULFILLED in our current life time. The prophecies about the end of days given in 2 Timothy verses 1 through 9 HAVE BEEN FULFILLED AND are BEING FULFILLED. It is amazing how THE FACTS support this, but many ignore them or minimize them of just flat out don't believe them. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see the writing on the wall. One just has to pick up the Bible and turn on the TV, look to all the news stories, walk on the streets, go to the restaurants/bars, go to the concerts, go to the churches, go to the governments, go into the homes of most people, and look into the minds of most people and you will see EXACTLY what the Bible describes as what would be happening in the last days. The fact that many self professing Christians say 'we're not in the last days' PROVES we are, because the Bible says that in the end, many will turn from the faith and instead listen and follow after doctrines of demons, that many will have a 'form of godliness' but no real power, as it is written, "They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me," Isaiah 29:13. Jesus said that when actual literal proof would come-wars/earthquakes/falling away and the fact that He was giving them warning ahead of time of what would be taking place- He is making a point that even then, WITH THE ACTUAL PROOF, THEY STILL WILL NOT BELIEVE!

Never before in our history have we seen the Word of God literally come alive like it is now. Churches around the world are falling like a stack of cards, caving into the homosexual/LGBT/satanic agenda with the 'pastors' of these congregations saying foolish things like, "Jesus didn't say anything about homosexuals." WHAT??? Jesus did not have to spell out each and every sin when it was already mentioned elsewhere in the Bible! Jesus didn't say anything about 'not lying', so does that mean we can lie???Jesus did not say specifically 'thou shall not forninate', so does this mean we can engage in sexual immorality??? Jesus did not say anything about witchcraft, so does this mean we can practice sorcery, follow the occult??? Jesus was God 'IN THE FLESH'; the same God who gave the Mosaic Law to the Hebrews. The SAME laws that Jesus followed and demonstrated and gave even more stringent interpretation of it, like when He talked specifically about a few of the laws like adultery in Matthew Chapter 5 verse 27 and 28 "You have heard it said of old, 'Thou shall not commit adultery', but I say that whoever LOOKs at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Sexual sins are the worst sins to commit and those who preach and teach that Jesus did not say anything about sexual sin, are completely ignoring and twisting what is clearly written in the scriptures. In Mark Chapter 7, Jesus was correcting, once again, the evil hypocritical Pharisees and Scribes who were trying to wrongly accuse His disciples of defiling themselves for not washing their hands while eating bread. Jesus quickly set the record straight that's it's not what is outside the body that defiles, it's what is inside that does. So if Jesus was 'cool' with every kind of life style, why would He say ANYTHING about being 'defiled' or that He was coming to treat 'THE SICK'? What does it mean to be defiled or sick in Jesus's eyes? A person who truly wants to discern the Word of God, knows that you use the Bible to interpret the Bible, not man's interpretation of the Bible (this is why we have so many different sects, people are following after the doctrines of men). The concept of being 'defiled' relates to the issue of being unclean, the concept of being clean/unclean first showed up in the Old Testament Chapter of Leviticus Chapter 5 verse 2, but it really began before that. From the beginning in Genesis Chapter 3, Adam and Eve sinned. But what is interesting, not anywhere does God call what they did 'sin'. He didn't need to because at the end of the day, ALL SIN is disobedience to God's laws. The issue of 'disobedience to God's laws' is called different things throughout the Bible but the meaning is always the same-disobedience to God's laws. The first sin committed in the Garden of Eden, God did not call it 'sin' but it was sin all the same. God said "Because you have disobeyed Me when I told you not to eat of the Tree". So in Genesis, sin was called DISOBEDIENCE. The first time the word 'sin' is used is in the next chapter, with Cain, who committed the first murder. Now from the beginning of Genesis to the Chapter before Cain slew his brother, it is not written that God had told Adam or Eve to 'not kill'. So how would Cain have known what he did was wrong? Why would he be concerned about the others killing him? God did not have to tell Cain what he did was wrong, God did not even say, Cain you murdered your brother" because God did not have to STATE THE OBVIOUS!! That is one of issues with this current wicked generation, they say that God approves of same sex unions, which is completely ridiculous, they believe because Jesus did not say, "It's wrong for men to have sex with men and for women to have sex with women" that Jesus/God are ok with homosexuality. Jesus did not have to say this because it is OBVIOUS in all the other laws that describe what sexual impurities are; and when He stated that what comes out a man is what defiles him, what exactly did Jesus mean when He said a person could be defiled? He meant unclean, wicked, unholy, sick, evil, depraved, abominable and He listed/named specific sins in Mark 7:20," For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed EVIL thoughts, ADULTERIES, SEXUAL IMMORALITY, FORNICATIONS, MURDERS, THEFTS, COVETOUSNESS, WICKEDNESS, DECEIT, LEWDNESS, BLASPHEMY, PRIDE, ENVY, FOOLISHNESS, ALL THESE EVIL THINGS COME FROM WITHIN AND DEFILE A MAN." Jesus called these actions evil, He did not excuse them or say they were ok, no He called them EVIL and WICKED. Jesus did not have to explain the definitions of what sexual immorality, murder, theft, etc meant. The meanings are OBVIOUS. The term 'sexual immoralities was one word to describe ALL MANNERS OF SEXUAL SIN THAT WAS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH IN THE OLD TESTAMENT; and God describes exactly what He means by 'sexual immorality' in Leviticus Chapter 18- the sexual sins were INCEST, PEDOPHILIA, FORNICATION, ADULTERY, HOMOSEXUALITY, BEASTIALITY, AND POLYGAMY- God called ALL of these sexual sins an ABOMINATION. Homosexuals are without excuse, for the very creation of Man and Woman is a testament to truth of What God said, when He made them 'man' and 'woman' and told them to go and fill the earth, that is, to have sex, man with woman to propagate the world. The very bodies of man and women attest to the truth of God's specific creation of the sexes. Men's private parts are perfectly fitted into woman's private parts. It truly takes a sick and twisted mind to look at God's physical attributes given to men and women and think that it is normal that two men or two women having sexual unions is natural; but that is what we are to think, that God is ok with (I don't mean to offend here, but truth is truth) a man inserting his penis into the anus of another man where feces comes out. That two women who rub against each other or wear prosthetics in mimic of male organs or men and women parading themselves in all manners and forms of lust and lewdness like the 'Girls Gone Wild' and other pornographies; they all believe that God is ok with these lifestyles. Just typing this is making me sick to my stomach. I just bring this point up to describe just how bad we are in the US and the world, this proves we are living in the 'land of Oz'. The fact that 'the church' has embraced homosexualty, lesbiansism, fornication, adulteries, witchcraft, idol worship, and every other kind of wicked sin into the church, the ones who are supposed to know the truth, and yet the truth cannot be found in them.

Right now I can hear now the charge, 'You're judging, your wrong to say these things'. So repeating what the Bible says is judging? Show me where it says that Christians are NOT to warn the people about God's coming judgement for SIN? That Christians are NOT to tell the gospel to the whole world? 'Well, Jesus said don't judge or you will judged yourself!' What did Jesus really mean in Matthew Chapter 7 starting with verse 1, "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgement you judge, you will be judged, it will be measured to you." They stop here, 'see you telling me I'm a sinner you are judging me'. You can't stop at just a few verses, you have to take in all the verses to get the right context because the next verses explain what Jesus is talking about when He says, "don't judge"; "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! FIRST REMOVE THE PLANK FROM YOUR OWN EYE, AND THEN YOU WILL SEE CLEARLY TO REMOVE THE SPECK FROM YOUR BROTHER'S EYE." Jesus was talking about being a hypocrite, telling people not to sin, but you are sinning worse than the person you're telling not to sin. That is why it is critical for Christians to examine ourselves. How can we give a testimony about Christ if we are living fowl? WE CAN'T! We are to told to live a life of holiness, committed to God, blameless, pure." Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth" and here, "PREACH THE WORD! BE READY IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON, CONVINCE, REBUKE, EXHORT, WITH ALL LONGSUFFERING AND TEACHING, FOR THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE, BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN DESIRES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ITCHING EARS, THEY WILL HEAP FOR THEMSELVES TEACHERS, AND THEY WILL TURN THEIR EARS AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, AND BE TURNED TO FABLES". 2 Timothy 4:2-3.

Jesus said the wicked WILL NOT enter into the kingdom prepared for those who obey God and have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. He does not say, "It's ok to violate God's laws, come on in to heaven, I accept everyone no matter what they do." No the words of Jesus to the wicked is, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels..And these will go away into everlasting punishment." Matthew 25:41 & 46;

I'm also in the camp who believe the first five seals in Revelation Chapter 6 have been broken and we are now in the last chapter where the Great Tribulation is going to begin to pick up speed, Satan will be revealed and when this happens ALL BETS ARE OFF, real Hell on earth will begin, and the fence that many are straddling-(I believe in God but I want to live anyway I want)- will be utterly destroyed, you are either with God or with Satan, YOU WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE!!! Jesus says it is those will endure this time of great trouble who will be saved. He did not say He will rescue them out, He said if 'they endure' and are not deceived by all the false prophets and false christs, and then by the father of lies, Satan himself that His people would be saved.

So from the very beginning GOD'S NATURAL LAWS, BEFORE THE MOSAIC LAW, God's natural, absolute moral laws were already in the hearts of men!!Every human being is born with intrinsic knowledge of good versus evil. Before any lessons from parents or books, this truth is evident in all humans. Watch a playground of two and three year olds, how they will look around to see if anyone is looking and then sneak to do something and when they are caught they know they are guilty but they don't yet have the ability to speak fully yet. We are all born with a basic moral code, but in order for this code to mature, it must be nurtured according the laws of God. "Train up a child in the way they should go and even when they are old, they will never depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. Parents to teach their children about God and discipline in love. You can see the catastrophic consequences of not following God's directions for child rearing in today's lost youth. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young adults age 15 to 24. Why are the young ones believing there is nothing to live for when they haven't' even LIVED yet? Why are millions of kids addicted to mind altering drugs? Why are 7 year olds sexting? The answer is clear, most were not raised in God fearing homes. I know that there are some who have been raised in God fearing homes who do go the way of the prodigal' child, but the vast majority are not brought up in bible believing/bible following Christian homes. What does this have to do with the 'end of days'? The bible says that in the last days people would reject the truths of their fathers and follow after demons. Studies show that the kids graduating from high school today, those who grew up in Christian homes, when they get to college or leave the home, they are dropping the faith they grew up with and instead embracing every other satanic/demonic doctrine that their 'itching' ears can accept, they flock to what ever religion/belief/that best 'fits' what they think, many do not believe there any absolute moral laws, they have bought into the lie that humans are nothing but evolved animals with natural instincts to fornicate, lie, cheat, bribe, or do anything to get ahead, because it's 'survival of the fittest'.

Christians are instructed to rebuke/encourage admonish/warn/teach/command/exhort. So how would we know when we need to rebuke/correct/admonish/warn someone?- It's when we can see the person is NOT living up to the standards of God. We are to warn those who live contrary to God's laws, if they don't know what God's laws are, we have to explain it to them and explain what the consequences are of violating them. The following slides are just a few of the 'birth pains' Jesus said would be happening in the world before His return. The sinful acts that will committed by the world and the earth itself will start to disintegrate. All this information is from CURRENT headlines in the news reports that are easily found by anyone willing to look for them past all the 'distractions' that are purposely in place to distract people from the truth for example, why is 'Beyonce is picking out a new set of clothes' FRONT PAGE NEWS?. There are many many more signs that we are in the last days, but this post is so long already, there is not enough room to capture them all, this is a just a small snapshot of the millions of stories/images, on the complete breakdown of humanity and this world as it readies itself for the coming Satanic rule:

There is going to be a Day of Judgment, and God will judge everyone who has ever lived, His wrath is going to poured out on all the wicked and ungodly. The Good News is Believing in Jesus saves us from the righteous wrath of God. But that is not all, He gives us a new heart and mind NOW, and we receive some of His blessing from heaven NOW and are equipped to be able to live a life that is holy and acceptable to Him NOW.
1. Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is real, He lived and died and rose from the grave.
2. Believe that you are a sinner, repent-turn from your sins and realize and accept you need Jesus.
3. Confess that Jesus is your Lord and God
4. Find a local Bible preaching church that does obey the commandment for water baptism for the remission of your sins and to identify yourself with Christ.
This is just the first step to a lifelong journey of growing in truth and love with the God who created this earth and everything in it, including every human being that has ever lived.

The Fool Says in Their Heart, 'There is No God'

Many today are going about their daily lives acting as if, 'all is alright in the world'; eating and drinking and making merry, partying, clubbing, being entertained and spending countless time and resources on mindless/unholy/addicting movies and TV shows like Scandal or the NBA/NFL, the American Idol type shows, or they are completely oblivious to what is going on in the world because their minds and souls are enslaved by drugs and alcohol and abominable sexual lusts/passions. While the world and America is being euthanized, the satanic 'one world government' is being set up right before our very eyes; and yet most do not even care or even want to see the truth. Adolf Hitler, one of the most evil men in human history made some very chilling but true statements, one of them so perfectly describes the American people it is downright chilling, "How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't THINK."

Myself and many others are crying out for the people to:

Those of us who see the writing on the wall are labeled 'crazy', 'conspiracy nuts', 'pessimists'. Many of the people who don't believe us claim to be Christians. It is strange how one could call themselves 'Christian' and read the Bible, which talks about a coming 'One World Government' with 'one' leader, Satan, and still not believe. They ignore, disbelieve all the many signs all over the world of a culmination of the behind the scenes and the not-so-behind the scenes plans to bring to fruition what has been clearly prophesied by Jesus, Daniel, Isaiah, Paul, and fully explained in Revelations of a 'coming one world government'. Right now, at this very moment, laws are being passed, and statues are being put in place to usher in this one world government. Just as the Bible predicted thousands of years ago. We were not told the exact 'how' this one world government would come about except that there will be a 'world war 3', and satan will rise up from this last world war to be the fake 'savior' of the world. Do you think the Bible is a just a book full of fairy tales, make believe stories? What more proof do you need? There are scientific, verifiable evidence of the very real events predicted in the Bible in the Old Testament and the New that did come to pass like the destruction of Jerusalem and Babylon, and other ancient pagan empires like the Medes/Persians. And how can a 'Christian' ignore/not see that the prediction about the LAST DAY in 2 Timothy Chapter 2 verses 1 through 14 EXACTLY describes the current state of the human race. Yes, there are some passages that are metaphorical, but in others it is absolutely talking about actual events that have and will take place.

Most Americans are not paying attention to the life altering, all critical fact that we are on the tipping point of the most important times in human history. The very freedoms that made America great are systematically being taken away, one law, one unrighteous judgement at a time to usher in the satanic one world government. But Jesus said before Satan is revealed:

"For then there will be great tribulation, such as not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor shall be." Matthew 24:21

Why am writing about this? Because Jesus told me and those who call themselves Christians to. Jesus said, "And this gospel of the kingdom (to include the coming tribulation and what it entails) WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO ALL THE NATIONS, AND THEN THE END WILL COME." Matthew 24:14. Those who have the truth are not to keep it hidden under a basket, but to yell it from the roof tops! "It is the fool who thinks he cannot be fooled." quoted Joey Skaggs a famous American prankster. Those who don't believe we are living in the last days say things like: 'All you 'doomsdayers' are crazy, stop trying to scare people with your war mongering you are stupid and idiots and haters of mankind. oh God will not hurt America or the world, He is God of love and peace, you are being critical and judgemental by telling people they need to repent from their sins or they will go hell, that's mean and unloving. God loves all people and He will not send any one to hell. America is not going end, that's impossible, we have a great military.THERE IS NO COMING ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.'

So, there have been no talks or statements, or actions to unite the world under one governing body? Really? You can pull film after film of US Government Presidents since Woodrow Wilson and other leaders making statements about 'The New WORLD ORDER'. The first attempts in our time to unite the world under one government began with the creation of the League of Nations which failed and the U.N. was born in 1945 after World War 2. Since the beginning, Satan has been a deceiver and liar, but he can present himself as an angel of light. The Bible tells us that he, Satan, will fool the world through 'peace'. It was the concern for 'peace' in the world that the U.N. was founded, The Universal Governing Body. Since then, it has been the building blocks for the coming new world order. It's interesting that at the beginning there were only 51 countries who signed up to participate in the U.N. Now there are over 193. And the mantra has always been, 'peace, peace, we only want peace.' The U.N. has propagated its "New Universal Agenda". The headquarters of the U.N. is in New York. The complex was completed in 1952. Another very interesting fact is John D. Rockefeller, one of the most famous/richest men in American history, is the one who donated the land for the U.N. to be housed on. Here is one of his quotes:

Your eyes don't deceive you, he said, 'world government'. Hitler may have been evil incarnate, he did have some very poignant statements that are very true about the human condition:

Another puppet of Satan was a man by the name of Edward Bernays, he was called, "The Father of Public Relations", and was named as on of the top 100 influential persons in the 20th Century by Life Magazine, and was the author of a book called 'Propaganda', which argued that the manipulation of the masses was necessary for democracy. It was his beliefs and actions that were the birth of our current lying and deceiving news/media/advertising organizations. Mr. Bernays believed and propagated that 'the elite' were to control and manipulate the public through the public media. He viewed 'the masses as being 'irrational' and 'animalistic'; he too had a vision of a 'world wide utopian society', that could be "harnessed and channeled by a corporate elite for economic benefit." "Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Wikipedia.

Hitler's Nazi Regime was not the first to try to take over the world, it was just one of many others who had 'world domination' on their minds. What makes you think that there will not be another? History shows us over and over, someone always wants to take over the world. It's not a movie or a fictional concept. What is the current problem with ISIS/Muslims? They want the world to be under complete Islamic rule. They are not content with just staying in Africa, no they want to take over the WORLD! It's no secret they want to set up a World Caliphate. It is amazing how 'blind' the American people are, and our 'president' shakes hands, gives millions to OUR ENEMIES! 'Islam is a religion of peace'. What???

It's so easy to get off topic with this subject. Back to the purpose of this post. The coming one world government. Steps to move everything -money, power, authority, trading, communications, monitoring, policing, religion-, everything under one global elite system IS in process. One area that is currently in the news, in the US, a few senators are trying to put a stop to President Obama's plan to turn over US leadership authority of the technical functions of the internet domain name system (DNS) to the 'global Internet multistakeholder community'. This has probably gone over many peoples heads, many don't even understand what this means or are even aware of it, and even if they do know they don't care saying, 'It's no big deal'. I won't go fully into how serious this is, you can click the links below to read for yourself: Protecting Internet Freedom Act. The point of bring this up is the internet is one of the greatest inventions mankind as designed. It has allowed unprecedented communication, education and has given people access to information they normally would not have. But there is a difference between the US and other countries when it comes to internet usage. For now, America is free, the internet is free, content has free range. Now I might not agree with everything that is on the internet such as pornography, but I completely understand the fact that if it's going to be free it must be completely free or not free at all. I believe completely in the freedom of speech, even the depraved, hate spewing speech, because they are free to say what they want and I am free to say what I want. But there are some who don't like the fact that America has freedom of speech. Even some 'Americans' want to put limits on 'freedom of speech'. Laws are being passed making it a law that preachers can't call sin, sin; that they can't say, 'homosexuals and all sinners who won't repent are going to hell'. This is sad day for America. When people are told what they can and can't say, we are no longer a free country but a dictatorship. This move by Obama places the control of the Internet into unknown global hands. Dictator ran countries like China, Russia, North Korea, Iraq and others most definitely restrict and monitor what information their citizens can access on the internet. What's so sad is those in America who want internet restrictions/freedom of speech restrictions just don't get the fact they can say/post/create stupid and asinine stuff is BECAUSE they have the FREEDOM to do so in the US! Many of the things done and said on American communication avenues like the internet/TV/social media is not allowed in those other countries. But the order of today in the US is everyone-except Christians- can say and do what ever they want. A young woman can wear the scantiest two piece bathing suit and walk down the street and there is nothing wrong with that, it doesn't matter if it offends others, she has a 'right' to wear what she wants. Oh, but I can't say to her, 'your exposure offends me'. It's okay for sinners to offend but not for Christians to call what they are doing sin and tell them the consequence of sin.

The internet is one the most important tools used in the world today, people do their banking, money transactions, correspondence, even medical records are now being stored electronically and transferred through the internet, private information is stored in the internet. It is important for the global elite to take control of this very powerful and influential tool. This is the world we are living in now, it is ripe for the picking, for Satan to stand up and take charge, his harvest is full.

One other story and I will close. The 'Universal Agenda ' that was enacted by the U.N. in September 2015. One of their goals:

In these Goals and targets, we are setting out a supremely ambitious and transformational vision. We envisage a world free of poverty, hunger, disease and want, where all life can thrive. We envisage a world free of fear and violence. A world with universal literacy. A world with equitable and universal access to quality education at all levels, to health care and social protection, where physical, mental and social well-being are assured. A world where we reaffirm our commitments regarding the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation and where there is improved hygiene; and where food is sufficient, safe, affordable and nutritious. A world where human habitats are safe, resilient and sustainable and where there is universal access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy

This sound great, like utopia, the false belief that mankind can save themselves, and make the world into a peaceful, 'star track' like community. People, we have history to show WE ARE INCAPABLE of saving ourselves. What this 'agenda' does not address are the UNDERLYING reasons we have ongoing problems like poverty/war/violence/hatred/genocide in the first place. You would think we would have learned our lesson by now, surely if we are 'evolved' beings, should we not have evolved into living better? It's survival of the fittest right? Would not all the 'weak' genes be killed off and only the best of the best, the elite be living? Obviously the answer is NO, we are not evolved beings, we were created by God, and cursed by God. And this curse is every person who ever lived, that is why we have THE SAME problems we have had since the beginning of time: 'poverty/war/violence/hatred/genocide'. There has NEVER been a time since Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden has mankind seen complete peace, no poverty, everyone is happy, NEVER. There is ALWAYS some war, some poverty, some disease, some murder, some bad thing happening to people. Unless they can solve the 'sin' and 'Satan' problem they will NEVER achieve the goals of Agenda 21.

I will end with the warning to all who will listen and hear and obey the truth:

The Cowardly Christian-No Such Thing

Fear is one of the most commonly given into emotion that people suffer from today. Fear is not only an emotion but it is also a thought and belief system. Fear includes anxiety, worry, timidness, and doubt. Why do so many who profess to know Christ, suffer from fear? When I first started writing this post, the first thought that came to my mind was the cartoon character/show 'Scooby Do'. This animated cartoon entertained children and adults for years. It's main theme was how the title character Scooby Do, was a 'scaredy cat', as dogs stereotypically are seen as fearless and brave, but Scooby Do acted like a 'cat' instead: fearful, shaking, and quaking at fake monsters/villains. There are two spiritual implications here: the irrational fear of Scooby and the fact that he was scared of unreal monsters. This is the same scenario for Christians; their fear is irrational and they are afraid of unreal, fake 'monsters'. The 'monsters' in Christians lives are mostly fear of the future and fear of the past. It didn't take much for Scooby Do to become terrified and hide under the bed or jump in Scraggy's arms; the actual 'monster' did not even have to be seen, just the 'thought' of hearing about the monster was enough to send Scooby scampering away to hide. This is an example of a very common irrational and distorted thought pattern called 'Fortune Telling'; when a person 'fortune tells' they assume something 'bad' is going to happen, and this thought leads to feelings of fear and anxiety which leads to unhealthy and cowardly behaviors.

What does the Bible have to say about fear? The ONLY thing/One that people are to fear is GOD! Solomon, the wisest man to ever live, concluded after experiencing EVERY pleasure, EVERY man-made materials/entertainment, EVERY activity, that at the end of the whole matter, ALL THAT MATTERS is, "FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."

Now, I can hear the arguments, "You don't know what I'm going through. There are things to be scared of like being raped or murdered or losing my job or losing my house or losing my kids or getting a disease". Are these issues to be 'concerned' about? Yes, but Christians are not to be afraid of these things;and, most definitely are not to obsess over them either;and that is what many people do, they obsess and live in a constant state of 'fear', shaking and quaking in their boots at imaginary foes. The truth of the matter comes down to one fact: this kind of fear is disbelief of God, pure and simple. 'Oh, but I do believe there is a God, I just can't help being afraid'. If this is the case, what 'about' 'God' do you believe? No where in any passage or in any verse in the Bible are God's people EVER given the 'ok' to be fearful of anything besides Him. NEVER.

'Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees, say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, DO NOT FEAR! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.' Isaiah 35:3-4
'Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID." John 14:27
'Have I not COMMANDED you (not a suggestion a COMMAND!!!!)? Be strong and of good courage: DO NOT BE AFRAID, nor DISMAYED, FOR THE LORD GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.' Joshua 1:9
'Therefore DO NOT WORRY about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble". Matthew 6:34

There are many more verses with the same message: DO NOT BE AFRAID! So I ask again why are so many of those who think they are Christians afraid? The Bible says it's because of unbelief and no faith. Psalm 27 verse 1, "The Lord is my light and my salvation, WHOM SHALL I FEAR?" Yes, David is asking a rhetorical question- a rhetorical question means no answer is expected or the answer is obvious. The logical and rational thoughtful contemplation to this question, 'whom shall I fear' is based on the presupposed notation that God, All Mighty, All Powerful, Creator of All things, The Great I Am, The One who rescued the Hebrews from slavery in miraculous ways, This God, I know is REAL and this God knows me, and This God has my back, This God I can depend on, If I have THIS GOD, the answer to the question, 'whom shall I fear?' is NO ONE!!!!!!!

'But I could lose my job, I could end up being homeless, I could die from this disease, I could lose my children, I've lost my children/my spouse does God not care????' This is just another ignoring of the previous statements. This is a stupid question, 'does God not care'. Of course He cares, He cared so much for an ungrateful, utterly depraved mankind that He came and DIED a very terrible death to save us! "Surely He Has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;..But He was wounded for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And by His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:4-5. The God who created the moon, the stars, the sun, the earth, the universe and other planets, and everything in the earth, but this God can't help you with your housing, your relationships, your job, your finances, your health, or anything else?
'But, what I'm going through is the worst thing ever, the pain is overwhelming, I'm a good Christian, God doesn't care, if He did why am going through this?' So you want to compare pains, so you lost a child, what about God's pain, His pain of losing not one or two but countless trillions of 'children' /souls since the beginning of time that have choose to reject Him and instead worship satan and end up forever alienated from God. Can you compare your pain to His? "Yet I will leave a remnant, so the you may some who escape the sword among the nations when you are scattered through the countries. Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations." Ezekiel 6:8-10.
'Well I'm homeless now, this proves God doesn't care." Does God not understand what it's like to not have a physical roof over His Head? Jesus knows about being temporarily homeless, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." Matthew 8:20.
'But I have no money, I can't buy food, I can't pay my bills." Is it ok to worry in this instance, the answer is still no. "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal...do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life MORE than food and the body more than clothing." Matthew 6:19 and verse 25.
But I could be murdered or killed, someone is being killed every day, this proves God doesn't care. "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." Matthew 10:28.

No matter what exactly it is you are fearing, it doesn't matter, Christians are to fear NOTHING.

If you are a self confessed Christian struggling with the enemy called fear, God has a very crucial warning in Revelation Chapter 21 verse 8, the very first 'sin' that 'people commit and don't repent of' listed that WILL NOT inherit the Kingdom of God are 'the cowardly'(fearful, timid); and right after that 'the unbelieving'. These two sins go hand in hand, because it is unbelief that underlies fear-not believing in God or His power or His abilities or His Word. And something to take note of, fearing in the manner discussed so far is a sin. I'm not calling fear sin, the Word of God is calling it sin.

So what's the solution?

Believe- There is absolutely no rational or logical reason a True Christian should not believe God. It is impossible to please God without faith. When Jesus walked on the water in Matthew chapter 14, Peter asked to walk on the water too; Jesus told him to come, and Peter started out ok, but when he took his eyes off of Jesus and looked at the storm, Peter became afraid. That is what we do when we fear, we take out eyes off of Jesus. Jesus's response to Peter was not, "I understand why you are afraid, it's no problem." No, Jesus made a statement to Peter which is the same statement for ALL followers of Christ, "WHY DID YOU DOUBT, YOU OF LITTLE FAITH?" Peter's response is a perfect example of an irrational response. Peter had been told by Jesus to come, Jesus is God, so if God tells you do something, why would you fear? Peter's fear indicated a belief that Jesus was going to let him drown. He didn't think about all the miracles Jesus had performed up till them, but right there in the moment he forgot Who God was. Prior to this, Jesus had told the disciples that the very hairs of their head were known by God, and that they were more valuable than many sparrows. Why after Jesus had called out the disciples to follow Him, would He suddenly just let them die? The obvious answer is HE WOULDN'T. That is why we are instructed to THINK RATIONALLY about the Word of God. Now this does not mean that we will not have concerns or grief about real life issues. The problem is when something 'bad ' happens, many people just wallow in self pity and disbelief and doubt, they live in fear and its associated unstable emotional state. "Weeping may endure for a night, But Joy comes in the morning."Psalm 30:5. This verse does not say, 'weeping will endure every night or for years' and it doesn't say 'joy 'may' come or 'could come possibly'. Our reactions to the consequences of living in a cursed world should be timely with ending. Weeping and mourning is for normal grief inducing life events. but believers are not to 'endure forever' in weeping/mourning. It is amazing how many Christians struggle with fear because they have been hurt in the past, they act 'surprised' that they have been victims of some kind of abuse. It's as if they don't even READ the Bible because Jesus said, IN THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE!!!John 16:33 Not might, not maybe, but WILL. "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace (not fear). In the world you will have tribulation/trouble/persecution; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."; and that since the world hated Him, the world would hate His followers-John 16:18. So what happens if you don't believe? "Therefore I say to you that you will die in your sins if you do not believe that I am He."John 8:24 These are Jesus's words to the unbelieving.
Repent- "Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you" Revelation 3:3 and "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent." Revelation 4:19. "Essentially, to repent is to turn away from sin and to turn to God and trust in the Gospel. It involves the altering of both the inward emotions of the mind and heart and the outward actions of the body," KcMcaul. Gods goodness should lead you to true repentance and Godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation.
Let Go- "Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you". 1 Peter 5:7
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM- Instead of worrying or being afraid

5. Pray- "The Lord is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous". Proverbs 15:29. "Rejoice Always" and "Pray without ceasing" In EVERYTHING give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18. So don't be anxious, fearful, timid, doubting about ANYTHING.

6. Trust- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart (mind, and soul), And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5

Nothing Can Compare To the Power of All Mighty God!

One of the headline stories on BBC news today, June 1st, 2016 was the completion of the world's longest underground speed tunnel in Switzerland. What caught my spiritual eye was one of the statements made by someone in the article praised the engineering feat of man. There were spiritual implications throughout this article and connected articles. One statement showcased was from 1882 by then president of Switzerland, Simeon Bavier, "A triumph of art and science, a monument to work and diligence! The barrier which divided nations as fallen, the [Swiss Alps] have been breached. Countries have moved closer to each other, the world market is open!" A triumph of 'art and science-a triumph to evolutionary beliefs. A 'monument to work and diligence- a monument to the work of mankind. 'Countries have moved closer to other, the world market is open' -a monument to the New World Order. Many prominent European leaders were at the opening of the tunnel celebration.

Another startling piece of the article talked about how they celebrated the opening of the tunnel with an elaborate show with various entertainers.

Does this scene look demonic to you?

One of the statements was, "The sacrifices of the tunnel miners who died was also commemorated." Sacrificing human beings in pagan rituals is a common activity throughout history. A long standing legend is that thousands of people were sacrificed and intombed in the Great Wall of China. In the Bible, in the Old Testament, God routinely had the Hebrews annihilate pagan communities because they were sacrificing babies, men, and women. Many believe that sacrificing humans will give them some special power. The only human sacrifice that gives real power was the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary.

'There's nothing spiritual about this article or the event, you're crazy'- Oh really, there is nothing 'spiritual' about this event???:

Religious figures attended a blessing inside the tunnel on Wednesday

A statue of St.Barbara, patron paint of miners, stands inside the new tunnel

Another statement, "The area already has the 34km Loetschberg rail tunnel, which opened in 2007, but this latest engineering feat is being hailed by leading members of the Swiss government 'as being of unprecedented significance'". Unprecedented-man made-feat. Now, one could interpret this to mean it's unprecedented in terms of tunnel making, but that is not how I see this statement. As pointed out the in the very article itself, when the big wigs of government showed up, it proved that there was more to this than just the building of a great tunnel. NOT ONCE was any glory given to God for giving man the abilities to create and build. No, all the glory went to the work of man, the genius of man, how great and wonderful man is.

For 17 years, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and over 2000 people worked on building this tunnel. One tunnel. This is 'so great', but unprecedented feat, I think not!

The Holy God in His Mighty Power created the Earth and EVERYTHING IN IT, the Moon, The Sun, the uncountable stars, the uncountable galaxies, Space, Time, Gravity, The sky, land, every kind of creature, mankind, the seas, foliage! How dare they call what man has made unprecedented!! God did ALL THIS IS 6 DAYS!!!!!!!Just HIM, not thousands of people helping him. He SPOKE and ALL THESE THINGS CAME INTO EXISTENCE! No drills, no nails, no concrete, no saws or hammers, no sweat, no glue, no boards or mortar. NOTHING COMPARES TO THE POWER OF GOD! NOTHING!

The Coming Mighty King

Jesus, the one name that is the most praised, ridiculed, blasphemed, mocked, cursed, debated. Jesus is the only historical figure to be so revered and reviled by man. Christianity is the only religion that is routinely demonized and made mockery of. Christians, compared to other religion followers,are more made fun of and belittled than all other religions. Followers of Jesus are called, 'Jesus freaks' 'holly rollers' bible thumpers' 'crazies', but you don't see these same monikers being used to describe other religions like Islam or Buddhism. Muslims follow the quran, which they consider to be their holy book, and they kill and maim people and perform various religious rituals based on their interpretations of it and yet NO ONE calls them "Muslim freaks" or "quran thumpers." It's ironic, when Christians witness to people, if the person doesn't believe, then the true Christian is to 'dust their feet off' and move onto the next person. But if a Muslim approaches you and demands you believe in Allah, and the person doesn't believe, the Muslim doesn't go onto the next person, they chop your head off, blow themselves and others up. Men have tried for centuries to take away the deity of Christ in their various seminars and theories such as 'The Jesus Seminar' or the
'Jesus Movement'; the quran and other religions identify Jesus as just another prophet, or good teacher. And NO religious figure in history has been portrayed so heinously as Jesus Christ. Look at the current blasphemous show on Cartoon Network, 'Black Jesus' and movies like 'Ted' and the popular animated show, 'The Simpsons' and these are just few of thousands of blasphemous shows and movies. Jesus Christ is fair game for the comedians, movies, and shows. And the glaring fact that 'Jesus'/"Jesus Christ' is used in almost every movie since the 1980's and it's not used in a honoring way, but used as a curse word, a byword. Pop in any movie and just wait to see how long it takes before, "Jesus" or "Jesus Christ" or the combination of 'Jesus Christ' with the 'f'' word is blurted out by the actor/actors. Why can't the script writers find another word to express frustration, annoyance, surprise? Why don't the script writers write, "OH Buddha, or OH Mohammed" for the actors' lines?

Is there a conspiracy to discredit Jesus and the Bible? OF COURSE!!! Satan's plan from the beginning was to discredit God when he deceived Eve in the garden of Eden. Satan hated the fact that man was living in paradise under the protection and guidance of God. If Adam and Eve had obeyed God they would have been able to remain in perfect paradise for the rest of their lives because death only entered into the human race when they sinned. Obey God you get to stay in paradise and live;disobey God you get kicked out of paradise into a hard barren land and you die. The concept of living in Eden did not die when God ejected Adam and Eve out of the garden. God has left a 'life line' to Eden through His statutes, laws, and commandments. Obey God you get life, peace, prosperity, protection, health, protection, God walks and talks with you -just like Eve and Adam got in the garden; disobey God, you get kicked out of God's protection, you get all the curses, destruction, poverty, disease, death, hard labor, and instead of God walking with you, Satan is your blind guide. The literal life line to all that is good is God the Father and Jesus Christ. No other religion, no other being created Eden and its life sustaining properties. There was one Eden, not two, three or a thousand gardens. Just one place where life began. The path to complete health and wellness was through one Person, one way. It is here where Satan understood that it was too easy for mankind to get a touch of Eden if there was just one way. So what better way to get revenge on God and humankind, than to cause confusion, create a duplicate 'garden', that looks similar but doesn't have quite all the characteristics; but don't stop at just one counterfeit garden, no let's create thousands of fake gardens so man will not be able to find the one true garden. Jesus Christ says, "He is the Way, and The Truth, and The Life, and NO ONE comes before the Father except BY HIM.

When you compare Christianity to other religious practices, one has to scratch their head in confusion as to 'why in the world do some of them do the things they do?' Walking on glass, cutting their bodies, putting pins and needles in their bodies, eating weird food, putting their bodies through severe calisthenics, piercing their bodies with hooks, getting crucified. I was watching some travel channel like show, and it was showcasing some country village that was celebrating some religious holiday. Part of this religion activities was to place pins and hooks in the body and hang objects off the hooks and walk up a hill bare foot on rough/rocky roads, and it was a sort of competition as the person who could hang the most stuff off their body and make it up the hill the fastest won some type of prize/recognition. As the narrator was talking to the men participating in this, the men had pins all through their body and blood was running down their face and they were laughing and smiling. All I could think is, "They need Jesus." But the Bible explains exactly why people follow after these bizarre religions.

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and

unrighteous, of men, who suppress THE TRUTH in unrighteousness,

because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are CLEARLY seen, being

understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so

THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE,

because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were

thankful, but became FUTILE in their thoughts, and their foolish

HEARTS WERE DARKENED.

Professing to be wise, THEY BECAME FOOLS, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God

into an image made like corruptible man- and birds and four-footed animals creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts,

do DISHONOR THEIR BODIES among themselves, who exchanged the TRUTH OF GOD

for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever, Amen." Romans 1:18-25.

I am aware of some Christian 'sects' who have strange rituals. The Gospel, as preached by Paul, got him in trouble with the 'Judaizers' because of his preaching about the 'freedoms' in the New Covenant. He debated in Galatians chapter 3 and Acts chapter 15 and other verses, explaining the difference between the Law and Grace, but the Judaizers argued that the gentiles should be keeping the old Mosaic laws too. Paul confirms loud and clear, Christians are under a New Covenant, the Mosaic law was fulfilled and completed by Jesus Christ and His death on the Cross. The law has transformed into something even better, it is now in the hearts of every believer, the law is now even higher than when it was given to Moses on Mount Sinai, because before you could lust after a women and not incur any penalty, but now if a man looks at a woman with lust in his eyes, he is guilty of adultery, which in the Old Testament, this sin would be punished by killing the man and woman, but we are no longer under the Old Testament, we are now under the New Covenant what was created and sealed with the Blood of Jesus Christ. I already know many are going to charge me with being a bigot/hateful for talking about these other 'religions'. This is the world we live in, where common sense and logic have died a tragic death, and now we live in a world where you can't call something that is crazy, crazy, and that's 'crazy'.

That's what trips up a lot of folks about the Christian faith. 'It's too easy' so it must not be real. What just say a prayer and get dipped in water and have faith, that's it? Oh no, there HAS to be more to it than that, many think. There is something in man that makes them feel that for something to be important you have to do a lot of steps/actions to make it special. They feel like the more they do, that makes it more 'holier' or worthy to follow. In the Christian faith, everyone is saved on equal ground, there is no such thing as one person is more 'saved' than the other. Now when it comes to rewards for good work, there is a measuring stick. The one's who gave their very life for Christ will be rewarded way more than someone who just stayed on the couch all of their life, as proven by the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:29, "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My Name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life." But at the same time, even a person who has many works is no better standing with God than the one who has fewer works for God is no respecter of persons. There are two warnings when it comes to issue of works-the motivation behind the works and the actual performing of works. The simple truth is if a person is truly regenerated, given a new heart by God, their mind renewed by Christ/The Holy Spirit, truly SAVED, it SHOULD lead to good works. There is no such thing a 'lazy Christian' in the Bible. In fact there are some chilling words for those who believe they are Christians but don't work:

"Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness (laziness) and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us...if anyone is not willing to work, THEY DON'T EAT" 2 Thessalonians 3:6 +10
"Faith without works is dead." James 2:17.

And those who think they are Christians because they went through the motions of becoming a Christian, there are two passages that they should pay special attention to. The first is Matthew Chapter 7 verses 18 through 23. Jesus is talking about who are His true followers, "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit (works), nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them". Now from this verse, many say I am doing a lot of work; I volunteer at the shelter, I teach Sunday School, I donate money to the poor, I visit nursing homes, etc. Man sees the outward performances but Jesus sees the heart. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name, cast out demons in Your name?" And I will declare to them, "I NEVER KNEW YOU; depart from Me, you workers of wickedness/those who practice lawlessness."

The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14 through 30. Jesus talked about three workers, their boss gave each worker a number of goods(talents) based on each worker's abilities. One worker got 5 talents, one got 2, and the other got 1. The ones who got 5 and 2 put in work and increased the number of talents they each had, but the one who had just gotten 1 talent, did absolutely nothing but bury the talent in the ground. Now this parable translates to fact that God is the boss of His followers, and the goods-talents each Christian is given is the Gospel and the good works. Each Christian worker is equipped by God to perform what God created them to do. Some Christians are given '5' talents, some '2, and some '1'. Now back to the parable, the 1 talent worker, because they were afraid, had buried their talent and they called a 'wicked and lazy' servant. Jesus tells His followers, " You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand and, it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16. Christians who 'hide' their faith and do no works are lazy and wicked. What happened to the worker who buried his talent? His one talent was taken from him and given to the one that had 10 and the wicked servant was cast into outer darkness where,
"There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." This should really give Christians who think they can just 'coast' their way into heaven something to be very concerned about. MOTIVATION AND OBLIGATION-What drives you to work for the Lord?

Back to the main purpose of this post. Jesus Christ, the ridiculed One, the One beaten and spit upon, the cursed and shunned One. But one day, one day very soon, ALL THE MOCKING WILL STOP!
