Satan's One World Government

Israel government has passed a law that every Israel citizen be 'digitally coded' with 'facial scans' and 'finger prints'.

What is most alarming is that most of the industrialized world's "Christian" citizens are completely clueless or don't care, and are not paying attention to the quickly coming one world government.  The bible is crystal clear that a final one world government under the control of Satan is going to come.  Why so many believe that it won't happen is mind boggling. Satan is a deceiver, he is not just going to pop out and say, "I'm Satan, take my 666 mark". Christians are warned over and over to NOT BE DECEIVED!  Satan is not going to reveal himself until he has complete control OF THE WHOLE WORLD!  A rational person would have to ask themselves exactly HOW could one man rule the whole world. Before technology, people could hide out, use cash/goods, the governments did not know what they were doing. But now, oh, now, we have technology that can identify/find ANY human being on the planet. The governments can know exactly how much money you have, where you spend it.  And all the programs that promote a 'one world government' use words like 'peace' and 'safety' and we are warned in the Bible that is EXACTLY how Satan will deceive the world-through promises of peace and safety.

 I believe the U.N. is the precursor to the one world government. Their 2030 agenda is the blueprint for the one world government. Troy Brewer's book "Numbers that Preach" has some interesting prophetic correlations. The number "20" seems to have to do with a person of God having the inside scoop that God is about to do something big and the number "20" is associated WITH PROPHECY.  The number "30" is associated with heaven beginning to transform the earth.  The goal of the UN 2030 is TO TRANSFORM THE EARTH UNDER A UNIVERSAL AGENDA! Elevating man, no mention of God or God's provisions/order.

The issue of the 'mark of the beast' is a hotly debated topic. Is the mark the rfid chip/bio metric screenings?  Some believe it is, some believe it is not. I am with the camp that it is the building blocks of the mark of the beast. Why some people go to great lengths to 'uncover' deeper meanings into God's word when in some places it is a clear simple statement from God. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you." Jesus, Matthew 28:19.  The command is simple-go, baptize, teach. Paul preached vehemently against those 'Gnostics' and any who claim to have 'secret knowledge'.  God does purposely want to confuse people, that is Satan's game. God clearly tells us what to do and what to know in His word.  Yes, there are some 'heavy' topics, but at the core of the Bible is to "fear God and keep His commandments".  So why do many preach against the fact that the chip technology is NOT the mark of the beast.  "He (Satan) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who as the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understand calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666." Revelation 13: 16-18.

What did John see when he was taken into the future? John would not know what a scanner is.  But he could see people in the future, some 'apparatus' being waved over their head and hand and that is was clear that it was mandated to have to buy and sell things.  He could see people being killed for not taking the 'mark'. When governments start to pass laws that it is MANDATORY to get the rfid chip/bio metric scanning, and governments are under the control of Satan, does it really take a rocket scientist to believe that this is what John saw. The technology we have today is able to control every man, woman, and child, and is in the hands of governments who ALWAYS abuse it.  The article posted about the mandatory bio metric facial/finger scans reported that the Israeli government after passing the initial law, then adjusted it to make it 'voluntary' and that children 16 and under would not have to get it.  It does not take a leap of faith to believe that one day, and one day soon, IT WILL BE MANDATORY for EVERYONE. They are not going to say "it's the mark of the beast". No, the 'chip' is for your safety, security, your banking, your health records. Chips are now in many normal everyday electronics.  It will save money, it will save lives. Cash will eliminated.  All financial transactions will be electronic.  The tracking technology is already in place NOW, smart phones now all come with tracking capabilities, but no one is alarmed as we are being inoculated into the one world/total monitoring global system.  I am driving down the road, my phone alerts me I have been at Kroger, even if I did not buy anything.  If you think the governments in the world will not abuse this power, you really are deceiving yourself.

Right now all over the world, people are getting 'chipped' there are ominous commercials with 'happy people' saying "I got the chip!"  Bio-metric scanners are now in some airports in America and around the world, some people already have the chip and use it at stores. Many people are already chipped.  Rfid chips are in clothes, on products, all of the credit cards. It won't be long before the credit cards are phased out as well.

At the end of day it all comes down to faith. Either you will believe or you won't.  I believe what the bible says, that a one world government is coming.  The bible did not tell exactly "how" that would happen, but anyone with any common sense can see that we are headed for a one world government.  Leaders since the end of World War II have been talking about a 'one world order'. We have now in place the U.N. whose goal is to usher in a one world governmental system. In order for this one world system to be stable, they will need to have complete control of everything. In order for Satan to be revealed there needs to be 10 kingdoms established. World War 3 could happen at any moment, when the world is on the edge of total destruction, one man will rise up through the ashes and many will believe he is the Messiah, this man will usher in 'peace', but he will betray the people, declare himself to be 'god'.  The man of sin, the son of perdition, he goes by many names, the abomination of desolation, Satan, the devil, the prince and ruler of this world, will come and he will reign for a short time.  His reign will be 'praised' by the wicked, the righteous will be persecuted. The time has come for Christians to wake up, but I already know that many will remain asleep and deceived. Satan's kingdom is active now-abortion, same sex marriage, adultery, fornication, hate, corruption, idol worship-all are at all time high. Eat, meet, drink, and be merry, be entertained, there is no god, the bible is not true, all roads lead to heaven, or there is no heaven or hell. The truth is vilified, while falsehoods reign.   Jesus said in the last days that many would fall away and believe the doctrines of demons. That is where were are now. In the birth pains before The Great Tribulation.  Real Christians need to watch, pray, and get ready, the severe persecution that is happening all over the world in China, Iraq, all of Africa, Mexico, Vietnam, Sudan, India-the U.S. and other industrialized countries  is coming, we will not escape the same persecution. Will we be able to bravely face death, imprisonment,  loss of home/health, torture for Christ? 

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 eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth.  The Good News  is Salvation is a free gift from God, anyone who will believes will know and have a real relationship with the true God.  You can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ and  Believing in Jesus gets us into the Kingdom of God and 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.

THEY HAVE NO REST DAY OR NIGHT

Today we are bombarded with all kinds of messages about trying to live longer. Billions of dollars are spent on health programs, youth serums, people spend trillions of dollars on cosmetic surgery/supplements  to try to maintain a youthful body, men and women dye their graying hair.  It is true that people are living longer than in the past, but are they better off?  Not according to the research on human aging.  People are living past 50 years old, but they are living with all kinds of life impacting diseases, which negatively affects their quality of life.

It is amazing how much time people spend obsessing about this life, when life on this earth is only a few years compared to thousands of years.  Everyday, every hour someone dies, people live to 50, 60 years old, some die as babies/children, and right now the oldest person on record is 117 years old.  But again, time has not stopped, and it will continue to tick along, so what happens after the 117, 50, 60 or any other year? Christians are not to follow the fad of this perishing world, worrying about this life.  Jesus said, in Matthew Chapter 6,verse 27 "Which of you worrying can add one a single hour to spare his life?" It is a rhetorical question, because the answer is NONE.  No human being can change or control when they will die.  A person can diet, exercise, avoid all dangerous activities, but they still will have an appointment with death.

Why am I talking about this?  Why not a message on "prosperity" and "happiness", and "good living", the "blessings of God".   There are plenty of those 'feel good' messages, not much talk about the other truths that many ignore. Many, that includes many pastors, preachers, theologians, Christian apologists, don't like to talk about hell, which is interesting when Jesus talked about that place quite often. "I don't want to scare people." is the often excuse.  Many pastors admit that they don't talk about hell because that makes people leave their church,because they don't want to hear about 'hell'.  It is a sad day when the 'whole' counsel of God is watered down to keep 'butts in seats' rather than being sure there are souls headed for heaven.

Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation.  He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Holy Lamb. AND THE SMOKE OF THEIR TORMENT ASCENDS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THEY HAVE NO REST DAY OR NIGHT, WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE, AND WHOEVER RECEIVES THE MARK OF HIS NAME.  Revelations 13: 9-11.

They have no rest, day or night.  This is true even now-those who are alive, those who reject Christ and by default worship the beast, Satan. They have no rest day or night now in this short life.  See the prostitutes on the streets at all times of day and night, see the hustlers spending all their time trying to get the next score, the drug addicts, how all their activities revolve around obtaining using substances, some go days without any sleep, just searching for their next fix. The gang members who have to stay vigilant against their enemies.  Those who want to have sex outside of marriage, they get heart break after heart break, they too lose sleep, are unhappy, and miserable, to the point some even take their own lives and lives of others because of their pain.  THEY HAVE NO REST DAY OR NIGHT now and they won't have any rest when they die if they don't repent.  I have seen funerals of people who have lived wicked lives and how at their eulogies people make statements like, "They are 'resting in peace' now, they are "rocking in heaven now".  All baseless and worthless epitaphs to make people falsely believe that they are in a better place.

Jesus gave a picture of what happens when people die in the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke Chapter 16 verses 19 through 31.  Lazarus went to paradise where he was at rest, while the rich person went to Hades, where he had no rest and was tormented all day and night.  Many think this was just a metaphor, not a real story.  Either you believe or you don't, but it would behoove you to really think about why did Jesus warn often about living a life of wickedness that would make you end up in a place where this there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, a place of utter torment and everlasting destruction?

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 eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth.  The Good News  is Salvation is a free gift from God, you can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ and  Believing in Jesus gets us into the Kingdom of God and 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.

You Have a Right To Your Own Opinion As Long As It Agrees With Mine

I sit here watching the commentaries and news stories about all the most hot topics today. What is amazing and mind boggling is the fact, today, people 'talk' about freedom of speech, but when it comes to free speech, that is only for some groups.  Some sects of people.  It is "against the law" to have your own opinion today and people are ready to act as arresting officer, prosecutor, judge, and jury, if you voice an opinion contrary to the masses.  You are not given the same right to what you believe, no, if you say you support Trump, or support marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman, that the unborn baby needs to be protected from evil corporations like Planned Parenthood, or that the US needs to fix the immigration system and set up COMMON SENSE regulations to protect America from those who clearly and have verify-ably stated their goal is to infiltrate the whole world and take over the whole world, and they enter into 'free' countries under the guise of "peace" but back in their homeland, they are cutting off people's heads, hanging people, burning people alive, destroying property, cutting off women's breasts, kidnapping young girls raping them and forcing them into marriage, all under the name of ISLAM or some other false religion- oh, but the one's leaving their country are the 'good' Muslims and they just want to be able to practice their belief in peace, but is that a fact? Is it fact that when the Muslims come to America or any other western country do they just practice their religion in peace, or do they start to ask for Sharia Law instead of the law of land they are residing, or do they start to demand special privileges because of their religion? or do their 'members' engage in killing sprees, unprovoked, on unsuspecting innocent people all in the name of Islam?

 Why are the stories of 'refugees' raping and terrorizing those towns overseas and now those countries are trying their hardest to get them out not on every news channel? Germany declared a crisis on Islamic refugees raping of German woman AND CHILDREN, a breakdown in social order.  Surely these stories  are not really happening, because if it was, the people in America would rise up to protest placing the country in harm...no this it not the case, they are marching to let them in, under the belief that America is different than Germany or any other country, that America can control them or the unrealistic belief that they are 'peaceful'.  And if you are someone who supports keeping those kind of people out, get ready to be called every kind of derogatory name, vilified, ridiculed, and hated on even to the point of physical violence. "Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas, anymore." I feel like a character in a fantasy movie, because I can't help but think, are the way things are now real, surely we are not this far gone left, actually beyond left, we have entered a new dimension of ridiculousness.  If you are 'dark skinned' in America and you support Trump, you are automatically lumped in with the Klu Klux Klan, every hate group, a bigot, 'uncle tom', and they do all they can to attack your 'intelligence'.  If you support the Constitution of America, you are 'stuck in the past' and need to 'get with the times'.
 The "times" I see are the democracy of America is becoming the Socialist America. The masses believe the lies from the evil media, the government reports that the unemployment rate is 4.7%, that 96% of people in America are working.  Oh, we can believe what our government tells us, because they are trustworthy, they are honorable, they don't lie, they don't cheat...oh wait, that is my fantasy, we have a government full of backdoor illegal deals, the good ole boy system, the more money you have you can get your way, lying, cheating are the most common virtues to be a government official. If you believe that 96% of people are working/or financially supported, you need to check yourself into a psychiatric inpatient facility.

Right now on Fox, they are showing the protests at the airport, with signs, "We love our Muslim neighbors".  They love them because they are not shooting them or cutting their heads off.  Do we have current proof of what happens when those who believe in Islam take over a town/country? Yes we do, Muslims as a group are not 'inclusive', it is covert to Islam or die. RIGHT NOW any other religion that is not Islam in Egypt is nearly extinct, and those who remain, largely Christians, are systematically persecuted, harassed, abused, their daughters kidnapped, their property confiscated, houses burned down, but Islam is a religion of peace.  It is so sad how many are so blind. Their goal is to spread Islam around the world, but I am no surprised because the bible tells us that Satan will deceive many through 'peace'.  The Muslims coming to America are the "peaceful ones". There are millions of refugees all over the world, that are supposed to be 'running' away from the 'bad Muslims', but something that has been repeated over and over, IF the majority of Muslims are 'peaceful WHY are they not fighting back against the 'smaller' bad Muslims? And why are their own practicing Muslim countries not taking their own people??

Everyone can have an opinion, as long as you agree with what ever they believe, but if you dissent, you are the enemy.  If you are black but don't support Obama, you are traitor, if you are black and don't support the Black Lives Matter movement, you are a traitor. If you are Christian and say anything about sin-especially homosexuality, you are racist, judgmental, bigot.  But if we were to respond in like kind calling those who disagree with us "white washed tombs, wolves in sheep clothing, wicked, lawless, anti-christs, selfish, haters, the damned, foolish, unnatural, abominations, worthless, stupid, naive, gullible" OH watch out! Now you, the Christian, are being judgmental, and hypocritical.  Christians do not hate Muslims, Homosexuals, fornicators, liars, murderers, child molesters, rapists, thieves, Buddhist, Communists, Socialists, or any other sect or religion, but that does not mean we agree with their lifestyle and Christians are commanded to TELL THE TRUTH to the whole world.  What is clear that the world is most definitely under the deception of Satan is the one religion that ACTUALLY that supports COEXISTING is the one religion that the world rejects. Hindu's, Buddhists, Communists, Muslims, fake Christians- kill in the name of their religion.  True Christianity says to 'turn the other cheek, let yourself be cheated, used' and to SHAKE THE DUST OFF YOU FEET, meaning when you tell someone about the gospel, if they don't believe then you MOVE ON, you don't KILL them for not believing! It was wrong for the Catholic church to torture and kill those who would not covert to Catholicism, it is wrong for ANY people/person/government to KILL others in the name of their religion.  True Christianity is the only PEACEFUL religion. But of course the world is blind to this fact, so we have what have, they hate Christians, and love those who have hurt/killed/used/abused others. Go figure.

I counsel many different people and a common response I get when I offer solutions to their problems, they say, "I don't want anything to do with God or the Bible".  They are struggling with depression, anxiety, hopelessness, relationship problems, but they don't want the real answers to their problems.  The fact is they want to learn how to be happy living in sin.  There is no such thing. "But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith and FOLLOWING AFTER DECEITFUL SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS." 1 Timothy 4:1.  The bible says that when you reject God, you are a slave to sin, and Satan is a hard task master.

Time is the teller of truth. When the war that is experienced in other parts of the world comes knocking on America's door, all those who were against moral standards, righteous rules, common sense regulations, please don't cry then.  That is something I don't understand.  You do what you want to do because 'it's your body', 'it's your life', but when the consequences of living contrary to God come, THEN you want to cry out, "God save me" or "Why did this happen to me?" When that time comes, God will have closed the door on His mercy, only His wrath for all the ungodliness  and what is doubly/trippely sad, that even when God releases the demons from hell to torment those who took the mark of the beast, and sends down hail,  and all the other judgments, the people will STILL reject God.   The Bible written so long ago predicted the very specific things that are happening before our very eyes.  The Bible says that in the last days, they will not endure sound doctrine-this prophecy is being fulfilled now.  People will be lovers of self and haters of good-this prophecy is fulfilled.  Anti-Christs will rise in the name of 'god' and kill those who disagree with them in the name of their 'god'-this prophecy has been fulfilled.  Men will have sex with men and women will do they same-this prophecy has been fulfilled. There would be a form of 'godliness', but not really the real God, this has has been fulfilled. So many other prophecy's have been fulfilled.  There is nothing left but the revealing the head honcho of evil, Satan.  We could see Him in our life time.  That is why if you call yourself a Christian, you must stay ready, you must stay focused on the main goal, run to get the prize, purpose in your heart now to stand up not cave in the pressure, don't give in to the pressure to conform.  You may be the only 'sane' one in a crowd of a thousand, but that is okay, Jesus said that the world will hate His own, so don't be surprised, when they hate you, when they revile and gossip, and vilify you.  They hated Jesus and what He said too.

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 eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth.  The Good News  is Salvation is a free gift from God, you can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ and  Believing in Jesus gets us into the Kingdom of God and 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.

The Masochist Effect

Why do we continue to do things that hurt us? Are we born masochists? What got me thinking of this blog post was I love popcorn. I can eat a whole large bag of popcorn in one setting.  I had bought a new brand of kettle popcorn, it was a big bag.  I started to eat it and found that I really did not like the flavor, but I kept on eating it anyway, even when I could feel that I was full. I was thinking, "it's popcorn, I don't want to waste any." Afterwards, it left a funny taste in my mouth and an upset stomach.  I went to sleep but woke up in the middle of the night thinking to myself, "Why did I continue to eat that popcorn even though it did not taste good?"  Immediately, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, (not literally), "This is what sin is."  Satan loves to tempt us with our fleshly desires and they look and taste good.  All of Satan's weapons appeal to the three main problems that plague mankind-lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.  You have only to turn on your TV set, cruise the magazine aisles/internet, go to a bar/restaurant, go through the rich neighborhoods, and any entertainment venue and you see the bought lies and temptations of the enemy on display.  The lie of the devil is summed up like this, "Satisfy your flesh and you will be happy."

 No where is the message more stated than in the clubs and bars around the world.  The neon/flashing lights, the dark atmosphere, the alcoholic drinks are so vividly displayed in various colors with adornments; everything looks 'cool' and 'free', and 'fun'.  "Drink, be merry, have a good time, there are no worries, live for today, do what feels good." But what's behind the bright lights and colorful cocktails is hidden, they don't display all the heart ache, pain, and suffering that comes with gratifying the flesh. "The wages of sin is death."  This truth is ignored and the lie is believed by so many as proven by the millions of addicts to drugs/alcohol, pornography, gambling, sex, food, lies, and money. If being rich and famous makes you happy, why are so many rich people killing themselves?  If taking God out of the schools, courts, and homes makes people happy, why is there a young girl or boy sexually/physically/emotionally/verbally abused every minute around the world? If following the worlds' recommendation for relationships (no need to marry, living together before marriage is good, monogamy is outdated-promiscuity is the way to go) works so well, Why is the divorce rate over 60%? Sexually transmitted diseases are an all time high? Millions of single men and women depressed and suicidal over breakups and feeling lonely or think they need can't survive without another person?

Drugs and alcohol are one of Satan's best tools for stealing souls.  "Take this, it will make you happy and feel good and take away all your problems." It seems like daily we get some new report about the epidemic of opiate abuse related deaths.  Why are young people who are born in the United States, Canada, countries that are supposedly rich and have every comfort known to man, taking substances that are killing themselves? What are they trying to escape from?

Why is America the land of the brave, the free, and the obese? There is a restaurant on nearly every block. There are reality shows on who can eat the most food. There are reality shows on food, cooking, cooking contests.  When you go to a restaurant your servings are four times a normal serving of food, and we eat the whole plate to include appetizers and desserts. Gluttony is now called, a "thyroid" problem.  Over eating is now called an, "impulse control" problem.
What ever the issue is-eating, drugs/alcohol/sexual immorality,  it all points to the same problem-sin. Living a sinful lifestyle is being enslaved to the darkness. A slave has no choice, they must obey their master and Satan is hard slave master.  He makes you eat the poison and when you throw it up he makes you eat the the vomit too.

As a counselor,I hear too often the desperate cries of the lost, they want to get off the roller coaster from hell, but they don't want to do it God's way. They want to stop doing the drugs, they even say they don't even like the drugs anymore but they can't stop; they don't like the way they make them feel, but they can't stop. They don't like the empty existence of just sleeping around with multiple partners, lonely, unloved, their bodies just used up like trash to be thrown away, but they can't stop; They want to stop gambling their life's savings, they don't like that they are homeless, they don't like that they are afraid, depressed, anxious, jealous, rejected, but they won't make the decisions they need to address their sinful lifestyles.  They don't understand what it means to be an enemy of God.  They basically want to learn how to be 'happy' living a life of sin.  They want the blessings of God but don't want to obey Him.

Unmarried couples living together, the girl is angry at her boyfriend for having sex with another girl. Why? They are not married, virtues like 'faithfulness, loyalty" don't come from the world.  The virtues of the world are survival of the fittest, there is no right or wrong, humans are just molecules, there is no such thing as monogamy. What they don't understand is that all humans are born with free will, the knowledge of good and evil.  Every human has a choice to accept or reject God. Every human is born with the capacity for good and evil. In relationships because we are born with knowledge of good, we expect our partners to be faithful, but this contradicts the worldly view.  What these people don't understand is they are wanting 1 Corinthian's 13 kind of love, but this kind of love is only for believers.  You are NOT going to get 'long suffering' 'unselfishness' 'bearing all things' in the world.  The world is selfish, self serving, self seeking.  It's perfectly normal to be unfaithful in ungodly relationships.  But they continue to engage in sinful relationships expecting different results, but end up with the same useless, unloving, hurtful engagements, they want to stop, but can't. Atheists believe you can have rules without God, but that does not any sense what so ever.  Either there are true right and wrongs or there aren't.

I will finish with the truth's of why we can't stop sinning without believing in God and His Son Jesus Christ:

• "For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, THAT THE LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD, AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL." Jesus's own words. John 3-17-19.
• Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, NOR CAN IT BE. Romans 8:7
• For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.  For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do...But I see another law in my members, warring against the law my mind, and bringing me into captivity  to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?  I thank God-through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:14-25.

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 eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth.  The Good News  is Salvation is a free gift from God, you can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ and  Believing in Jesus gets us into the Kingdom of God and 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.

Throwing Stones

 Today the world of religion is completely divided. And there is no more divided religion than Christianity. Now true Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship with the One and Only True God. I use the term religion just as comparison label for this post. What is astounding to me is today, when preachers and teachers go out into the streets and highways and the college campuses, that people who call themselves "Christians", say that they are wrong for telling people about hell and what sins send a person to hell. This phenomena is not new.  People in the dark have been 'throwing stones' at God's people since the beginning. Throwing stones is accusing someone of doing something wrong.  David, who was chosen to be king by God over Saul, was fleeing his son Absalom in 2 Samuel Chapter 16 when a man from the family of Saul named Bahurim, came out cursing and throwing stones at David and all his people, incorrectly accusing David of stealing the kingdom from Saul and that Davids's problems were because of this.  Bahurim's belief that David stole the kingdom was wrong, David did not steal the kingdom from Saul, God took it away from Saul due to Saul's disobedience.

 Another example of people throwing stones because of false beliefs is found in Acts Chapter 7.  Young Stephen who was filled with faith and power from the Holy Spirit, was boldly preaching before the high priests at the Synagogue of the Freedmen. Stephen spoke the truth and said starting at verse 51, "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, as your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just one, of who you now have become the betrayers and murderers, who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it." When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. (They were furious-just like those today who get enraged at the preaching of repentance from sins). But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!" Then they cried out with a loud voice with one accord, and they cast him out of the city and STONED HIM. 

What brings to life the truth of the Bible is what I see happening today. Jesus and all the apostles warned of a coming apostasy.  Paul said that there would come a time that they-the lost- will not endure sound doctrine, "For a time will come (that's now) when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from truth, and be turned aside to fables." 2 Timothy 4:3-4. We have this truth before our very eyes!!! Practicing homosexuals in the pulpits, practicing adulterous and sexually immoral teachers, preachers, leaders in the church, and the church members. What 'sound doctrine' are they not enduring?

• "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie." Revelation 21:14-15.

• "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. IT IS AN ABOMINATION." Leviticus 18:22. 

• "For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which is due, and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness, they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful, who, knowing the righteous judgement of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them." Romans 1-26:32. 

They will not tolerate the truth as evidence here in this picture, "cursing" these guys, "Homo sex is awesome".

I ask myself all the time, when I see on TV, like it did last night, on the news, a gay 'pastor' and his 'husband' talking about how 'God', wants them to help people; are they not reading the whole bible? What part of 'abomination' do they not understand? and the same goes for heterosexuals who have sex outside of marriage or commits any other sin. The bible is crystal clear that those who practice these things WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!! The bible warns to not just be readers of the Word, but be DOERS of the word or else you DECEIVE yourself. Many show that they are doing this very thing. They go to church services every Sunday and Wednesday, but they live a wicked and immoral lifestyle. But they still believe they are going to heaven because they 'go to church'. Many who do not even go to church believe they are going to heaven, because 'everyone goes to heaven' no matter how they live. Many people do not think about the afterlife. They live like they are going to live forever in the state they are in. Many people are worried about the temporary pleasures of this life, but not what's going to happen to them when they die. Which is kind of crazy given it is an absolute guarantee that you will die some day. 



But today, those who tell these parts of the bible are derided by other's who say they are 'Christians'. "You are being judgmental, you can't tell people what to do, they are in control of their own lives" "God is a God of love, He doesn't send people to hell." Jesus gave His disciples the 'Great Commission". We are to GO into all the world, teaching them to observe all things He had commanded. Jesus taught about the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. Jesus talked about heaven and a very real and horrible place called hell.  Christians today are to talk about the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness, and we are to do so in and out of season. The truth is most definitely 'out of season' right now, but that does not change the duty of all those call themselves Christians.

Those who reject the truth have been throwing stones since God revealed His righteous laws. They throw literal stones and 'stones' of false beliefs.  They were going to stone Jesus when they heard something they didn't like in John 8:58-59.  Jesus said to them (the unbelieving Jews),"Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Jesus is God in the flesh. They didn't like this, not only did they not like what He said, they wanted to kill Jesus for saying it. The Truth.  He came to die for our sins, He took our rightful place on the cruel cross of Calvary, to SAVE US FROM OUR SINS!  How can people know what they are being saved from if they don't know what sins are in the first place? and How can people know what is the purpose of getting 'saved' without talking about what they are being saved from?

To those who feel called to take the gospel to where it is needed most, the streets, the colleges, the highways and byways, and the communities, stand firm in the faith.  Let them who are perishing throw stones. If you are getting stones thrown at you, you are in good company, because all the true prophets of God had stones thrown at them, they were hated, and lied upon, they were ridiculed and persecuted.  And they were part of the minority.  Jesus said that FEW find the true gate and narrow road.  So don't be discouraged when you are alone, but understand that we are never alone, because our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is with us all ways, where ever we go. He will never leave us or forsake us.  They tried to keep our Savior locked down with a large stone, but no stone could hold our Savior, that stone was rolled away, He has risen and now we have a High Priest Who fights our battles and gives us power to remain true to His calling.

Tomorrow is not promised to any one.

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 eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth.  The Good News  is Salvation is a free gift from God, you can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ. and  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.

JESUS CHRIST THE KING OF THE WORLD

Today is presidential voting day in the United States.  Millions will go to man made voting places to vote their choice for president and other congress positions.  Never in the US political history have we the people been subjected to an outright crazy election season.  The choice between two candidates have led many to want to choose 'no option'. But those who call on the name of Christ, we should be praying for those in authority and those who will be in authority, we do not have to fear which candidate will be elected because who ever it will be is in God's sovereign will.  There is no point in moaning about why we are here because the hard and cold truth is we are here because we, the church have neglected our duty.  The duty that Jesus gave to us to go into all the world preaching the TRUTH and teaching them to obey and walk in the light of truth has been seriously neglected.  The church has been asleep and now many wolves have crept into the church houses, teaching false and twisted doctrines, stealing away the minds and true faith of many.  But I am not surprised, because Jesus said that even the 'elect' would be deceived.

We will find out tonight the next president, but we who are the called out and peculiar, we don't have to be afraid or worry because God is in control, God is All Powerful.  God is not a republican or democrat or independent.  The temporary rulers of this earth are just that TEMPORARY.
Many troubles WILL come but only for a little while because there is a DAY coming. A most glorious and awesome day, THE DAY OF THE LORD!  Jesus Christ will return, and not in the same way He came, in a dirty, homely manger, no Jesus Christ is returning in His true form, ALL mouths will confess and ALL knees will bow and proclaim JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!   Jesus Christ KING of ALL KINGS!  His kingdom will last FOREVER.  No more voting, no more campaigning, no more rhetoric, we will not have to 'decide' who to vote for, no more lies and false promises. Jesus Christ will be ruler OF THE WORLD, and His statutes and laws will UNDEBATABLE! His Word will be law, no voting body, no lobbying actions. There were will no need to update laws or march for change.  There will be no pain, no more tears, no fears, NO EVIL, in Jesus's kingdom.  Those who reject Jesus will NOT be allowed to live there, there will be no 'we can just believe what we want to believe', no humanist or atheistic world views shaping world policies.  Only the righteous and life giving laws of God will be in action.

I can't wait until THAT day.  If you are afraid of THAT day, you need to test to be sure you are of the true faith.
