Archive for the ‘Holy BIBLE [Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth]= God’s Truth & Love for you’ Category

How much time and effort are you spending studying your options for where you will spend eternity? This should be a person’s life-long study. Since this life is brief at best when compared to the endless time of forever, you should be diligently sifting through evidence looking for truth. So many people casually throw away God without hardly a glance at all the lives transformed by the power of God’s Holy Spirit.

“Fools have no desire to learn; they would much rather give their own opinion.” Proverbs 18:2.  I am deeply worried by everyone who thinks highly of their own opinion and degrees of higher learning who have chosen to believe the lie that God is not real without really studying and discovering the overwhelming truth that He is indeed real.  “Saying foolish things is lie setting a trap to destroy yourself.” Proverbs 18:7. Try reading a book like Impact Africa: Demonstrations of the Real Power of Jesus Christ Today compiled by Daniel Kolenda, evangelist and President of Christ for all Nations (CfaN) before you dismiss God’s healings, deliverances and salvation of souls in modern times. It’s much easier to dismiss something you have not really studied in depth. What are you occupying your time with that could be more important than where you will spend eternity?

All the truth you would ever need to believe in God’s plan for planet earth, and that Jesus Christ existed when the world was created and was sent at just the right time to intersect humanity and offer a plan of salvation, and Holy Spirit infilling believers from Christ’s resurrection in approximately 32 a.d. to now for a continual stream of salvation, deliverance and healings is readily available in books, CDs, audios, DVDs and online blogs and media sites. Dismissing God out of hand is arrogance and rebellion. You don’t really want to believe, repent and change your ways, so you do not investigate. “It’s stupid and embarrassing to give an answer before you listen. The rich think their money is a wall of protection.” (Proverbs 18, 13, 11)

You are going to want to have Jesus Christ on your side, as an advocate for your soul before almighty God on the day when EVERYONE (rich, poor, humble, evil, good, lazy, sloppy, intelligent, etc.) is judged. Your whole life is being recorded. You will see the opportunities you passed by to know God intimately. Your own words and actions will condemn you without Jesus to defend you. The most chilling words in all the universe are recorded in God’s Holy Bible when Jesus says, “I never knew you.” Start researching today, this minute, as if your eternal soul, that which lives on when your body-covering mortal body dies, depends on it because this is truth.

Jesus spoke to the people of his day, condemning them for unbelief even after many miracles of healing had been performed in their towns: “If the miracles that took place in your towns had happened in Tye and Sidon, the people there would have turned to God long ago…do you thin you will be honored in heaven? You will go down to hell! If the miracles that took place in your town had happened in Sodom, that town would still be standing. So I tell you that on the day of judgment the people of Sodom will get off easier than you.” Matthew 21-24

As in modern 21st Century living, the people living when 2 Kings was written were determined to be worthless before God. Preachers today keep telling us that all people have worth before God their maker and that is true. Every soul living has the chance to turn freely in appreciation to God and be thankful for his salvation plan, repent of wickedness and disobedience, and turn their hearts and minds with Holy Spirit’s help towards God.

But hear this well. What if a person is DETERMINED to spit on God’s offer and walk away? My heart breaks with all the “pride” events and shaking of fists in God’s face. They deeply grieve God as well. “Even though the Lord had commanded…not to worship idols, they did it anyway…they were as stubborn as their ancestors who had refused to worship the Lord Their God. They ignored the Lord’s warnings and commands, and they rejected the solemn agreement he had made with their ancestors.” (2 Kings 17: 12, 14-15)

See if you see modern humanity in this indictment: “They worshiped worthless idols and became worthless themselves. The people disobeyed all the commands of the LORD their God….they also worshiped the stars (astrology/science fiction/comic book heroes) and the god Baal (thousands of cults in operation today that don’t follow Jesus to salvation). They used magic and witchcraft (looking for knowledge and consorting with evil spirits outside of God’s Holy Spirit) and even sacrificed their own children (modern abortion has killed millions voluntarily). They were determined to do everything the LORD hated.” 2 Kings 17: 15-17)

God replies: “…I will say it again: Do not worship any god except me. I am the LORD your god, and I will rescue you from all your enemies.” (2 Kings: 38-39) Notice the promise on the end. God is willing to rescue you from your greatest enemy of your eternal soul, Satan, who desires to drag you down to his kingdom of hell upon your demise. If you draw your last breath determined to rebel against God, He will graciously let you have your way, but you will have become worthless instead of worthy to enter into eternal reward with his son Jesus Christ as the gatekeeper. Jesus is the ultimate model of worthiness.

Consider John, the apostle’s eyewitness account of the end of time (which we are fast approaching), when he is translated to heaven to inscribe for all time in the last book of God’s Holy Bible, Revelation< how this age would end. “I saw a mighty angel ask with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals (which begins the final judgment cycle on an unrepentant, sin-filled world)? John records that he “cries hard because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or see inside it. Then one of the elders said to me, Stop crying and look! The one who is called both the ‘Lion from the Tribe of Judah’ and ‘King David’s Great Descendant’ (Jesus) has won the victory. He will open the book and its seven seals.” (Rev. 5: 2, 4-5). Finally, millions upon millions of angels and the redeemed of Christ say together in a loud voice the very truth of God: “The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom,strength, honor, glory and praise.” (Rev. 5:11-12) Notice that not one sports star, musician, famed politician, film maker, etc. is considered worthy to follow with your trust that they will save you.

Worthy… Worthless…where you choose to place your trust and allegiance will have eternal consequences.  Choose Jesus Christ this day. Place your trust in God’s worthy son.

Everywhere I look, idols and cults are misleading the people from a meaningful relationship with the one and only living God. I am horrified and dismayed by the path to immorality and willing denial of God’s word. Due to politically correct speech, no one would dare call everything that twists or ignores God’s Holy Bible, which describes God’s own bridge to salvation, a cult. Space precludes listing all the so-called religions which are actually cults by way of scripture’s one way of telling the absolute truth: if any religion is made up from the mind of man, it will not honor Jesus Christ as God’s only son and path to salvation. It is that profound and that complex, yet simple.

So, sad to say, the following large “religious” groups are all wasting their time and misplaced allegiance with their religious rituals: Mormons, Christian Scientists, Scientologists, Wiccans, Goddess/Earth/Druid worship, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists. This is not hate speech and non-inclusiveness. Truth is truth whether or not a person chooses to accept, believe and submit to it. God calls on anyone who wants to be saved to repent of their sins, arrogance, idols and false worship and turn to Him through the sacrifice of His son on the cross 2,000 years ago.

Christ’s apostle, John, through the writing inspired by God’s own Holy Spirit sums up this eternal truth while part of Jesus’ earthly ministry circle of apostles in the Bible book named for him. This truth could save then, and is still saving 2 millenia later:

“No one has gone up to heaven except the Son of Man (Jesus), who came down from there. And the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as that metal snake was lifted up by Moses in the desert. Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life. God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did no send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! No one who has faith in God’s son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn’t have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God’s only Son.” (John 3: 13-18) You know the phrase “Dead man walking” could be applied here. A person walking earth without faith in Jesus does not have their name written in God’s Bookk of Life. You are literally a dead soul walking and condemned to spend an eternity where nonbelievers go at their last breath – hell – without being snatched from Satan’s hand where you are until God’s glory is placed willingly within you, changing your DNA to heirs and sons/daughters of God through Jesus Christ. In your daily life, choices made have large and small consequences. So it is with deciding to believe in cults and idols. Satan does not care which lie you embrace as long as it keeps you in his dark kingdom of this world.

“My people are determined to reject me for a god they think is stronger, but he can’t help.You have planted evil, harvested injustice, and eaten the fruit of your lies. You trusted your own strength and your powerful forces. Now you continue to sin by designing and making idols of silver…You are told to sacrifice to these idols– yes, even to kiss them. And so, all of you will vanish lie the mist or the dew of early morning, or husk of grain in the wind or smoke from a chimney.” (Hosea 10: 13, 11:7 and 13: 2-3)

God’s promise: “…give up your idols! I will answer your prayers and take care of you. I am that glorious tree, the source of your fruit. If you are wise, you will know and understand what i mean. I am the Lord, and I lead you along the right path. If you obey me, we will walk together, but if you are wicked, you will stumble.” (Hosea 14:8-9)

For 40 years I have been amazed and awed by God’s ability to foretell the future of humanity in His written word, the Holy Bible. God would speak and tell beforehand who would be a king or prophet, what would befall cities in the Old Testament and set markers for the birth of His son, Jesus including born of a virgin in Bethlehem, but raised in Nazareth (and many others).

God is always 100% accurate because He lives outside of time. He invented time and can see the end from the beginning. Through Isaiah, the prophet, God invites: “Come closer and listen! I have never kept secret the things I have said, and I was here before time began.” Isaiah 48:16

God warns about seeking false advice from astrology or fortune tellers: “You have worn yourself out, asking for advice from those who study the stars and tell the future month after month. Go ask them how to be saved from what will happen. People who trust the stars are as helpless as straw in a flaming fire…These are the fortunetellers you have done business with all of your life. But they don’t know where they are going, and they can’t save you.” Isaiah 47: 13-15

Still to come in humanity’s future: How this age of grace will end with the last 7 years for earth dwellers who rejected God’s free offer of salvation, after Holy Spirit has removed Jesus’ brides (which are his faithful followers totally in love with both Jesus, God and Holy Spirit who are looking for His return as he promised before leaving earth after His resurrection from the dead) is told in Matthew and Revelation especially, spoken by both Jesus, himself, and written by his apostle, John, which reveals Holy Spirit’s revelation.

Thousands of years ago, through the prophet, Isaiah, God spoke to the nations: “Gather around me, all of you! Listen to what I say. Did any of your idols predict this would happen? Come closer and listen! I have never kept secret the things I have said, and I was here before time began.” Isaiah 48: 14, 16

Pride in your earthly accomplishments without a heart committed to God is faith in your own resources and a misplaced pride that YOU gave yourself your talents, abilities, possessions, career, intellect and wealth. Be careful! God’s word says he exalts the humble (who acknowledge Him as their maker and the giver of all good and perfect gift) and puts down the proud (who trust in themselves).

Of what, then, should you be proud? The Bible says to have pride that you are a child of God: “Let me prosper with the rest of your chosen ones, as they celebrate with pride because they belong to you.” Psalm 106:5 How do you become a “chosen one?” By YOU CHOOSING to trust in God’s promise that he sent his son Jesus to forgive you of your sins, including pride and arrogance in your own abilities to save yourself without him.

A day will come when your pride will not be enough. You will be alone and scared without a savior. Turn to God and claim this promise: “When you are suffering and in need, he will come to your rescue, and your families will grow as fast as a herd of sheep. You will see this because you obey the Lord, but everyone who is wicked will be silenced.” Psalm 107: 41-42

Make no mistake. God will not be mocked. Judgments are headed our way for decisions made to turn from our holy Heavenly Father and choose sin, degradation, envy, lust, sexual wickedness and brokenness, greed for earthly possessions and distractions. Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah set the precedent. There is nothing new under the sun said the wisest man to ever live, King Solomon. And he has been proven right by historical cycles and patterns. At a time and hour the citizens of those towns certainly did not expect, judgment was set and punishment meted out supernaturally. It is said that God would have to apologize to those two towns if he did not bring judgment against the current population who oh so very closely resemble Sodomites.

Let us stand in the gap and pray for mercy and delay…just one more hour, day, week or month to choose to not follow a path and a trap carefully set for us by Satan, he who hates our souls, and a true sincere turning to Jesus Christ who wants only the best for us and loves our souls.

Take the time to read what modern-day prophets are hearing from God. Try listening to Clare and Ezekiel du Bois over at http://www.Heartdwellers.org to hear Father God’s heart for his people…how the rapture of the brides and bridegrooms of Christ will not only be in our lifetime, but soon, Soon, SOON! Do not scoff that a merciful God would remove His Holy Spirit from the surface of our planet when the judgments against unrepentant mankind begin in earnest — which is what Tribulation means. Holy Spirit lives in “born-again” believers in Jesus Christ — though only an estimated 1 – 10 Christians are actively looking for his return and believing in the Biblical prophets who foretold of these times of 2016 and what to look for before Christ’s return. To remove Holy Spirit, you’d have to take us too!

Very, very soon it  will become apparent that these distractions and pleasures, some of which are listed below,  were just a smokescreen to keep people distracted and away from holiness and being about King Jesus’ business. You could add many, many more:

  • Alcohol collection in both wine cellars and fully stocked Hard alcohol cupboards. Pride in distinguishing between labels and vintners to see who has the biggest, most extensive, expensive collection. YOU WON’T CARE ABOUT THIS ONE MINUTE AFTER CHRIST COMES IN THE AIR TO RAPTURE HIS REMNANT OF TRUE BELIEVERS.
  • Body building and extreme fitness which takes most of your attention off of working to build God’s kingdom.  YOU WON’T CARE ABOUT THIS ONE MINUTE AFTER CHRIST COMES IN THE AIR TO RAPTURE HIS REMNANT OF TRUE BELIEVERS.
  • Food snobbery, slavish devotion to celebrity chefs, cooking channels and trying out new restaurants, diets and specially grown, exotic foodstuffs. Gluttony which has led to an epidemic of American obesity. YOU WON’T CARE ABOUT THIS ONE MINUTE AFTER CHRIST COMES IN THE AIR TO RAPTURE HIS REMNANT OF TRUE BELIEVERS.
  • Gambling, betting, casino vacations and cruises. YOU WON’T CARE ABOUT THIS ONE MINUTE AFTER CHRIST COMES IN THE AIR TO RAPTURE HIS REMNANT OF TRUE BELIEVERS.
  • Body “art” and piercings…how to move past your first one, to then cover your arms, legs, necks and shoulders. Why are you so driven to permanently mark the body given to you by God over and over again? YOU WON’T CARE ABOUT THIS ONE MINUTE AFTER CHRIST COMES IN THE AIR TO RAPTURE HIS REMNANT OF TRUE BELIEVERS.
  • Sports teams from your child’s to high school and pro sports of every variety. Knowing every last person on a team, their stats and scores, strengths and weaknesses. Spending outrageous sums to cheer them on at Colosseums and arenas. Buying and wearing team clothing to support “your” team. YOU WON’T CARE ABOUT THIS ONE MINUTE AFTER CHRIST COMES IN THE AIR TO RAPTURE HIS REMNANT OF TRUE BELIEVERS.

This June 23rd marks the 5th year anniversary of my surprise rapture dream on our miracle child’s birthday. This June 23rd, 2016, will be the Brexit vote for Britain to exit the European Union. Only time will tell why this date is important. Push aside worldly distractions to honestly evaluate your relationship with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Study your Bible instead. Study to show yourselves approved. Pray without ceasing, under the surface of your daily activities, that mercy will be shown for just a little more time to save souls. Very soon at a day and hour none of us could foretell, the world as we know it will change forever. I wish we’d all be ready to exit together!

 

 

John 4:14 is so central to Christ’s promises of eternal life for believers; today’s date serves as an important reminder to hold onto this verse as April unfolds.

How is joy to be obtained in this life? Isaiah, the prophet, gives the answer in Isaiah 12:3, “With great joy, you people will get water from the well of victory.” Where is victory then found? In salvation comes the joy.

Jesus promises in John 4:14, “but whosoever drinks the water I give will never thirst. Indeed the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Fountains of living water flow freely from the throne of God to whomsoever will believe. We just need to supply the faith; God will supply the living water. Hosannah! Glory to God in the highest.     “Please spring up a well in me should be the cry of all believers today” There is joy in the river indeed. There is hope. There is life everlasting. “Words of wisdom are a stream that flows from a deep fountain.” (Proverbs 18:4)

On May 1, 2016, Holy Spirit added this 4:14 from 1 Thessalonians: “We believe that Jesus died and was raised to life. We also believe that when God brings Jesus back again, he will bring with him all who had faith in Jesus before they died.”

 

“Open the ancient gates, so that the glorious king may come in.” (Psalm 24:7) Doesn’t that just stir your soul? The idea that Jesus, glorified, will as promised return to earth from the same place that he left — Jerusalem, Israel. Those ancient gates that have remained shut until the Prince of Peace arrives, will once again be opened and used to glorify the Lord.

“Who is this glorious king? He is our Lord, a strong and mighty warrior.” (Psalm 24:6) Jesus came the first time as a meek, suffering servant savior — the lamb of God sent to take away the sins of the earth for all who believe. BUT — his 2nd appearance, which is oh so very close after 2,000 some years, will be as a conquering warrior, having the keys to death and Hades. God tells us ahead of time, through his chosen prophets, what the end of this age of grace will be like. We are very close. Choose to believe and join God’s mighty spirit-filled army of believers. The next psalm offers this promise: “You lead humble people to do what is right and to stay on your path.  In everything you do, you are kind and faithful to everyone who keeps our agreement with you. Be true to your name, LORD, by forgiving each one of my terrible sins. You will show the right path to all who worship you.” (Psalm 25: 9-12)

How close is your daily walk with the Lord who created you…who imagined you specifically from before the foundations of the earth? You were meant to live for such a time as this. You’re not an accident…an oops…a child carefully planned for by your parents…you were made by a Maker…God almighty.

Job 35: 9-10 claims that “In times of trouble, everyone begs the mighty God to have mercy. But after their Creator helps them through hard times, they forget about him.”

“If God took back the breath that he breathed into us, we humans would die and return to the soil. God created us all; he has no favorites, whether rich or poor.” (Job 34: 14-15 & 19)

So….on this Easter weekend, I would challenge you to recommit to following the Lord closely no matter what the circumstances or seasons of your life look like to the natural eye. God knows you personally and is waiting for you to follow his wisdom towards the narrow path that brings life through acceptance of his only Son’s sacrifice on the cross and resurrection to create the one and only bridge from God to man. There are no manmade ladders tall enough to reach towards your own salvation…just that one bridge offered by God. Accept his free offer of salvation today. Walk into your predetermined destiny partnering with God while there is still time.

 

This week in the Middle East, an unprecedented number of soldiers (340,000), tanks and airplanes from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations are gathering in the very far north as a show of force against Syria, Iran and Russia. Turkey and NATO have their parts to play in God’s prophetic time clock. The Bible tells of a time for war and a time for piece in Solomon’s book of Ecclesiastes.  Who will put on the brakes? What nations will run full tilt ahead with machines of destruction and armed nuclear warheads to back their demands?

Psalms 9 contains a warning for “…those nations that forgot about you.” Man’s plans for war without Godly counsel is arrogant…destructive…and thereby ungodly…which is wicked. This verse  contains a clear warning of choices to be made and loyalties with “The wicked will go down to the world of the dead to be with those nations that forgot about you.” (Ps. 9:17) This continues in Ps. 10:13 with “The wicked don’t respect you. In their hearts they say, ‘God won’t punish us!’ ” Finally in Ps. 9:5 comes the ending: “You warn the nations and destroy evil people; you wipe out their names forever and ever. Our enemies are destroyed completely for all time. Their cities are torn down, and they will never be remembered again.”

God has a timetable for world events. He is not surprised, ever. He knows what countries and leaders plan “in secret.” Psalms 11:4 assures us believers that “The Lord is sitting in his sacred temple on his throne in heaven. He knows everything we do because he sees us all.”

All the books, learning, religious thought and choices presented to people come down to ONLY 2 CHOICES IN THE END: 1) God’s narrow path through his words contained in the Holy Bible which include faith in His only son, Jesus, for salvation, or 2) the broad path that leads to destruction which includes everything else.

Your adversary, the devil, does not want you to realize that all the seeming choices just narrow down to good vs. evil, belief vs. rebellion. It is so much more glamorous to think that YOU have found the wisdom of the ages in New Age, wiccan, shamanism, atheism, agnosticism, Christian Science, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc., etc. in an almost non-ending list.

How narrow minded you say? God, himself, said the way to life is narrow and many people miss it. God loves you. God loves the world. He provided a way to reconcile our naturally wicked hearts to himself: “God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.” John 3:16. What if this verse corresponded to March (3rd month) 2016. What if time is really shortening for you to choose? Join me on the narrow path. I really want to spend eternity with you by my side!
