Holy Spirit understanding

Remember when you first found out about Jesus Christ and you became a new creation, forgiven from the sins that hung around your neck.?

Remember the joy,the elation of being saved?

Remember how every time you opened your bible every word was alive?

All those feelings, memories are quickening our in spirit helping us grow and as we change each day,we get more and more of God’s Holy Spirit. That charges us up,gives you a feeling like never before felt in your life!Because of that some people are looking for that same type of feeling or rush.So many rush up when churches have the altar call for Holy Spirit Baptism.And some believe that the filling of the Holy Spirit is another event.I don’t believe that based on Scripture.That’s were we should go when we are seeking the TRUTH.The Word of God.

We are filled with the Holy Spirit when we receive Jesus Christ. See Romans 8:9-10,1 Cor.12:13,John 7:37-39 Think about this? You ask Jesus Christ to reign and live in you,now Jesus Christ is on the inside of you, the Holy Spirit is in you at that same time.Jesus,the Father are one.What happen when Jesus was baptized by JohnThe Spirit of God came upon Him.That’s why we have the Holy Spirit indwelling at the time of receiving Jesus

The fact that many seek to repeat that flush of new Holy Spirit Power and Joy and Love, it causes many people to search for the next big move of the Spirit. Now some of you and I are seeking to stay the course,study and pray and dig , digest,and be fed the Words of Life and I believe when some go seeking a church that focuses onMoves of the Holy Spirit ,Signs and Wonders that they are like those declared in the bible as those who run here and there looking for Jesus and when they hear of a moment here or this pastor has the gift,or someone puts on a great show they make a bigger deal about that then the fact that Jesus Christ shed His Blood and rose from the dead and has paid the full and complete price for all of mine and your sins. And that those who confess Jesus is Lord is the King of Kings and the Lamb of God we need to shake off the mantle of Apostasy and stand up,be bold and preach,teach,share the Truth about Jesus Christ.the Holy Spirit,God the Father.

Do you realize that we are the generation that in mere nanoseconds we can access more bible truths,Greek,Hebrew, more information from many different sources about God,Jesus and the Holy Spirit but we have the lowest percentage of active, healthy,real Christians that are speaking out against a world of sin that’s running down the highway to hell faster and faster each day. Where are those who are sharing the Truth about the Gospel and the Awesome Power in God’s Word. The Power of the Blood.

Yes there are some of us out there acting as prophets of old; Warning those around them that we must repent and turn away from our idols and our gods that are full of nothing but death.Repent and Pray to God the Father to heal us and save us from the fires of hell. Where do you stand in this? Do you think there is no way God who created us will send some of you to hell! Or some of you that think that God doesn’t exist just because you think that there isn’t a place called hell that it couldn’t exist. Read the Bible it is plainly written about those who reject Jesus Christ what happens to them.

God is God and we can not and will not understand His Plan for each of us and how God will make every situations,events,moments to be as pieces in a puzzle. Only God knows what piece you are and where you fit into His Plans.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,

God is in control and He has everything worked out. So when events,situations,moments happen to you and you feel out of control know that His Hands are on the tiller of your life pointing the way to salvation. Trust in Jesus Christ and you will be saved!

What or Whom are you Seeking?

Let me ask you a question? What are you seeking? Are you focused on Jesus Christ? Do you understand the problems facing the Body of Christ in this current environment of false doctrines,and doctrines of demons?

As a follower of Jesus Christ I am amazed but not surprised about the wave of confusion, supernatural movement of those who claim to be lead by the Holy Spirit and those who say they have a special connection to the Spiritual side of things. Let me tell you Jesus Christ told us of how things will be:

Matt 24:21 For then there will be great suffering unlike anything that has happened from the beginning of the world until now, or ever will happen.
Matt 24:22 And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
Matt 24:23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe him.

Matt 24:38 For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark.
Matt 24:39 And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man.

Matt 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Matt 24:25 Remember, I have told you ahead of time.
Matt 24:26 So then, if someone says to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe him.
Matt 24:27 For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

So we that know and follow Jesus Christ should do 5 things to maintain and succeed in our walk against the deception and the lies that are spreading thru the Body of Christ.

First: Examine yourself and confess any sin in your life because sin sperates us from God.

Second: Study the Word of God,Each day spend time with the Word.

Third: Prayer spending time with God talking, praying pleading your concerns and comments ,going to Christ Jesus thru prayer.

Fourth: Get yourself into a Church that teaches the Whole Bible,the uncompromising Word of God with Boldness and Power by the Holy Spirit.

Fifth: Be live a life of obedience to Jesus Christ,living your life as if any moment Jesus Christ will return. Don’t be foolish or lazy about your choice to follow Jesus Christ. It takes commitment and the surrender of yourself to God the Father. The devil and his lies will try everything to cause you fall,stumble back into sin and to be removed from life itself .

Don’t be deceived! Don’t be fooled! Don’t be shocked when things get worse! Because they will get worse. Jesus Christ told us that things will become worse before He returns. Many of you have had choices to follow Jesus or some of you follow what you think is right. Let me tell you that a life w/o Jesus Christ is an empty,hollow life. A life lived w/o God has no future and it’s just so easy for us as humans beings to think that we are in control of our destiny and by our choices we can succeed.

But what are you going to do about Jesus? You say He doesn’t exist but He knows you exist. One day you and I will be standing before Jesus Christ ad He will ask a question. What have you done for the Kingdom? How have you lived your life that shows who lives in you? Did you serve the flesh or did you serve Jesus?

Will you be able to stand an answer? I hope and pray each day that I can answer the call that God has placed upon my soul. I also pray that many of you will hear the call and go forth to the lost,hurt,broken and confused. Be ready to speak and to pray and to listen. Amen! Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus!

Not that bad?

Not That Bad? - Greg Laurie - www.harvest.org

You must not commit adultery.

-Exodus 20:14

Can you imagine what our culture would be like if we obeyed the single commandment, “You shall not commit adultery”? Can you imagine how different our world would be? How many divorces would have been avoided? How many families would still be together? How many fathers would be home to raise their children?

Most social ills can be traced to the breakdown of the family and specifically to the absence of the father in the home. And often marriages fall apart because of the sin of adultery. What is adultery? It is sex with someone besides your spouse.

God has established marriage for there to be fulfillment and a oneness between a man and a woman. Sex is not some toy that we play with to satisfy our desires. The Bible says, “Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery” (Hebrews 13:4).

Yet this sin is committed so often. Some will say, “Come on, it is not that bad! It was just a one-night stand. We were just having a little fun! As long as it is between two consenting adults, why is it wrong?” Because when a man and a woman come together sexually, a oneness takes place-even when someone comes together with a prostitute.

We are told in 1 Corinthians 6:15-16, “Don’t you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, ‘The two are united into one.’ ”

Adultery hurts you. And it hurts others as well.

The Fig tree.

Fig Leaves

tarafından Chip Brogden

A growing number of people have come to the conclusion that the social benefits of going to church can no longer compensate for the lack of spiritual life.

“And seeing a fig tree by the road, [Jesus] came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, ‘Let no fruit grow on you ever again.’ Immediately the fig tree withered away” (Mt. 21:19).

People are tired of going to fig trees that promise fruit, but offer a hungry person nothing but leaves to eat. They’ve been eating leaves or chewing on bark, but there is no fruit, no sustenance, no nourishment. One day they wake up and say, “No more. Whatever this place used to mean to me, whatever purpose it used to serve in my life, this place no longer represents the Lord Jesus. I can’t fully explain it, and I don’t completely understand why or how, but the religion of church is hindering my relationship with the Lord and it is time for me to leave.”

You do find two groups of believers in the Book of Revelation who were doing well, who received no rebuke, only praise from the Lord; only two out of seven that He expressed satisfaction with. Before you begin to think thatyour church is one that Jesus is satisfied with, let me tell you one thing both these had in common: both of them were suffering persecution. Isn’t it interesting how persecution has a way of re-arranging your priorities? Isn’t it amazing how the only two that Jesus was completely satisfied with were the two that were going through deep affliction and persecution? Persecution brings adjustment. It brings a sense of eternal purpose.

I had a ministry to burned out pastors when I was still working for a denomination. What a great ministry; there’s never any lack of burned out pastors. I would take over their pulpit for one or two Sundays and give them a break so they could take some time off, spend time with their families, go get counseling, or do whatever they needed to do but couldn’t take time to do because they were so consumed with running their church. That opened my eyes to a lot of things.

I remember getting a call from a pastor of a medium-sized church, and he wanted to take me to dinner. I agreed to meet him because I was flattered, and I was really looking forward to it because he was someone I considered “successful.” His church was growing, they had a nice building, he drove a nice car and had nice clothes. I was struggling with all those things so this man was someone I kind of looked up to. I was hoping I could get some words of wisdom or some ideas that would help me become as successful as he was.

So we met for dinner and things are going well. He seems friendly and I am just on the verge of asking him, “What is the secret to your success?” The words were on the tip of my tongue, and then this pastor broke down right in front me. His personal life was a mess, his church was a mess, and he wanted me to take over his services for a couple of weeks so he and his wife could take some time off and put their marriage back together. I nodded and listened but inside I was thinking, “My God! Here I am looking to this man as an example of success, and he is a nervous wreck.” And that meeting taught me something. I learned not to judge success by the outward appearance of things. I saw that pastors are just as clueless as anyone else, but they have to convince themselves and everyone around them that they really have it all together. Most of the time they do not, and you can only be a hypocrite for so long before the whole things takes its toll on you.

I like to teach, and I have a heart for pastors. If it were up to me I would probably be working with burned out pastors. But God had something else in mind. “Leave them alone, Chip – they are blind leaders of the blind, and if the blind lead the blind, they will both fall in the ditch.” And God showed me that until a blind leader falls into a ditch, they cannot be healed. He can’t have his eyes opened until he realizes he is blind and has no business trying to lead others. My efforts to help them by taking over their pulpit for a week or two was like treating cancer with a band-aid.

Pastors aren’t bad people. Pastors, for the most part, are good people who become trapped in a bad system. It’s the religious system that is at fault. Yet this religious system was created by people – well-intentioned, good-hearted people who thought they were doing something for God. And now this thing called “Churchianity” has become a monster, a grotesque creation of our own hands, and now we can’t control it; IT controls us. It masters us, all the while tricking us into thinking that when we serve IT then we are serving God. The work of the Lord becomes more important than the Lord of the Work.

How far we have fallen from the days when people could look at disciples of Jesus and would notice that they had been with Him. They had been with Jesus. Now we look at religious folk dressed up and going out to eat lunch on Sunday and all we can say of them is that they have been to church.

Billy Graham : The National Crisis

Billy Graham: The National Crisis

Billy Graham
Billy Graham (BGEA)

Editor’s Note: In December of 1973, Billy Graham delivered a written message in Decision magazine entitled “The National Crisis.” Despite being published nearly four decades ago, the message contained in the excerpts below (edited for length) speak to the age-old problems plaguing the earth since the fall of man. And, the answer remains the same: Jesus Christ.

This past year the American people have suffered an emotional trauma that has had few parallels in our history.

Our newspapers and our television screens are bringing news of a hundred and one dangerous problems that are rocking the world. Each day seems to add to our already impressive number of crises here at home – an accelerating crime rate, mass murders, soaring drug use, rampant inflation, pollution, the breakdown of families, a jittery stock market – and the list could go on and on.

And the question that many Americans are asking is: What went wrong? What is wrong?

It is almost a paradox that our nation, with all the economic affluence for enjoying life, virtually leads the world in crime, narcotics abuse and immorality. As Americans we have at our beck and call all the necessary armaments for national security, but we are still insecure. We have all the material possessions deemed essential for happiness, but we are unhappy. Science has brought us close to a material paradise, but we also stand on the precipice of hell itself. Millions of Americans are happy on the outside, but deep down inside they know something is missing: they are lonely, empty and bored.

The supreme crisis that confronts us is neither political nor economic. It is moral and spiritual. And if we fail to solve this moral and spiritual crisis we may be doomed like the great nations of the past.

The spiritual problem is also an individual problem – it is one that rests with you and me. There can be and will be no lasting social reform until the individuals who make up society are reformed. The problems of society are caused by men and women in our society. We are a nation of individuals, and we are perilously close to reproducing the lifestyle of the people in the book of Judges in the Old Testament, of whom it is said: “Every man did what was right is his own eyes.” Judges 17:6

What is the answer to the crisis that faces us at this hour? The greatest mistake that we could make would be to fail to diagnose the illness and offer an effective remedy.

The name of the disease is sin. Our nation must seek again the way of God and walk in the law of God. This is the only answer ultimately to America’s problems. I am not suggesting that more interest in religion is going to save us, because many people in Jeremiah’s day were religious. And that is true today as well. For all too many of us, however, religion is merely a formality that has little effect on the way we live and act during the week. Only a vital, personal faith in the living God of the Bible can get to the root of our problems.

The great question is, “How can we rediscover the faith that was once a dynamic, revolutionary, life-changing force in American society?

The answer is to be found only in Jesus Christ, the greatest revolutionary of all time. He was not concerned primarily with political or economic revolutions. Instead, he came to enter the lives of men and women and revolutionize the most basic and stubborn source of the problem – the human heart. This change of heart is what we need as a nation. This is what you need now as an individual.

Christ can and wants to revolutionize your life – your home – your community – the entire nation. But it will have to start with you.

Something vital and historic could happen to America … If men and women across the land will turn to God, it could have a profound effect of the future of this nation. The trend of our nation can be reversed. However, it will happen only as individual men and women reverse the trend of their lives by committing themselves to Jesus Christ.

I’m not asking you to turn to Christ in order to save America. I ask you to turn to Christ so that you can have purpose and meaning in your own life, so that you can find forgiveness before God, so you can have salvation and eternal life.

But I believe that in the midst of cynicism, discouragement and disillusionment, it’s time to believe again, it’s time to hope again, it’s time to sing again, but you can only do it, and the nation can only be blessed, if first you have peace with God.

It is my prayer that you will find that peace – not only peace with God, but peace inside and peace with your neighbor.

What would Jesus find funny?

Did you hear the one about…?”

Roger Meyer (guest columnist)

People enjoy humor and laughter. God gave mankind the capacity for humor and the ability to laugh. But are there right and wrong kinds of humor? Would we laugh at this or that joke in Jesus’ presence? Would He find it funny?

Surely we have all heard jokes that make us laugh so hard that our sides hurt. Everybody loves a good joke, and we enjoy laughing. Laughter can be a very healthful thing. We have heard the saying that laughter is the best medicine. An article in Psychology Today shows that laughter reduces pain and blood sugar levels and helps restore a positive emotional state. Laughter helps blood vessels function better. An article on WebMD describes beneficial physiological changes due to laughter. We even burn some calories!

The Bible tells us that among many other things, there is also a time to laugh (Ecclesiastes 3:4). But, as we might suspect, there is a right kind of humor, and a wrong kind. Humor can be classified as “clean” humor, or as “off color” or “filthy.” Those who are striving to follow Jesus Christ will avoid the wrong kind of jokes and humor. “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love… But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting… Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:1–10).

Filthy humor is base, course, obscene or indecent. Foolish talk is from the mouth of one who is a fool, lacking sense, silly or idiotic. Course jesting, though witty and playful, is indecent, bawdy and irreverent. An example would be a double entendre that uses a nice term to suggest something crude, ribald or vulgar. This kind of humor is not fitting for a follower of Christ.

Humor acceptable to God can be heartwarming, endearing and joyful. Our children and grandchildren can make us laugh when they say or do something funny. Our pets can make us laugh. Our little dog makes me laugh every morning. She waits for me to come down stairs, knowing she will get a treat. I toss a treat past her so she has to scamper after it. When she retrieves it, she proudly runs out of sight to eat it. She makes me laugh every time.

Good, clean humor and jokes can be a joyful part of fellowship, or a wonderful, poignant way to illustrate a point in a sermon and make it memorable.

We find good and bad humor in many venues. It’s in the workplace. It’s on the radio and television. It’s in books and on the Internet. It’s passed around in e-mails from one end of the earth to the other. As with our other actions and behavior, we will be held accountable. “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. … A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:31–37).

We must avoid foolish and profane humor. But we can learn what kind of humor is acceptable to the Lord, and enjoy it heartily and healthfully.

A Renewned Mind

Rom 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
One word I would like to focus on and break down is The word renewal: I love how the Greek meanings explode the depth and complete truth in the Scriptures.
1. renovation
[from G341]
KJV: renewing 1. to renovate
[from G303 and a derivative of G2537]1. new (especially in freshness)
{while G3501 is properly so with respect to age}
[of uncertain affinity]
KJV: new
Root(s): G341 1. “new
2. (of persons) youthful
3. (of things) fresh
4. (figuratively) regenerate
[a primary word]
KJV: new, young
Now isn’t that just the most wonderful meaning,our minds are new because of Jesus,our minds are fresh because of Jesus,our minds are youthful and regenerated because of Christ Jesus. I say repentance,surrender, obedience, submission to the Jesus that has risen from the tomb and now sits in Heaven seated at the right Hand of the Father readying for the Day of the Lord.
Do you know this Jesus? Come to the Living Water that will satisfy your thirst for a Saviour,Messiah,Lord of Lords! Come and be embraced by The Only God that created you and who waits for all to come to Him so that none should perish.
Have a great day and be aware

Wolves in our churches

Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing

By Grant Phillips


Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly. (James 3:1 NLT)

They are classified as pastors, ministers, clergymen, priests, teachers, writers, authors, etc. If we hold a position of instructing others in spiritual matters, we need to take the above verse very seriously.

I am amazed in one hand and not so much in the other that there are so many wolves in the pulpits of America. Whether the pulpit is a podium or a keyboard, there are more than enough predators on the loose.

One reason I am not surprised is because the Scriptures tell us that in the latter days apostasy will be very prevalent, and I strongly believe we are in the last days of the Church age.

Only God knows the actual number or percentage of wolves behind the pulpits in America, but I’m sure there are many. I’ve heard too many of them. This is one reason, among others, that it is so very important that every Christian be more than merely acquainted with God’s Word. We need to know it as well as we know our own name.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)

The reason these wolves of Satan are so widely accepted is because of the ignorance of the masses. Many Christians, no less, are basically ignorant of God’s Word, the Bible. It never ceases to amaze me what comes from the minds and mouths of Christian people, and there is no excuse for it, but laziness.

The number of so-called clergymen who are coming out and endorsing same sex marriage, for example, is appalling. If there were ever a sin clearly defined in the Bible, this is certainly one of them. Homosexuality is a sin. Period. God says so, so don’t get mad at me. Repent and forsake it.

The liberal elite of spiritual affairs, and political also, for that matter, say we must compromise and get along with everybody. That is not what God’s Word says. From the mouth of Jesus we hear:

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. (Matthew 10:34-37)

Is Jesus saying that Christians should go pick a fight with anyone who disagrees with them? Of course not. He is simply saying that the world will hate what He has to say and who He is. He is saying that if we are loyal to Him, we will be hated too.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. (John 15:18-19)

Jesus also said that to hate Him is to hate the Father.

He that hateth me hateth my Father also. (John 15:23)

But I digress, a little. Far, far too many of these charlatans, wolves in sheep’s clothing, are seducing tens of thousands of people, if not millions, right into hell. I shudder to think of the judgment that will be administered to them when they stand before God.

It is very difficult to find a good Bible believing, Bible proclaiming man of God in our pulpits of the 21st century. Most are a joke. Major church denominations are quickly straying away from God and His Word, being led by these false teachers.

Folks, if you don’t want to be led astray, and many of you are, you really need to turn off the TV and get in the Bible. The Bible is where God speaks to His children, and if you are His, how can you not be interested in knowing what HE has to say?

The smooth-talking, milk-toast clap-trap coming from the pulpits will do nothing but lead you down the wrong paths. These spiritual whoremongers will lead you to the same destruction that they will experience. We all need the Truth, and only in God’s Word will we find it.

If you have a God-fearing man of God leading you, pray for him and thank God every night for him. If you don’t know, get in the Word and ask the Lord’s guidance in your life. Until you get in the Word and allow the Holy Spirit of God to teach and lead you, you will never know. You’ll just be one of the blind following the blind.

I urge you to not be naïve when considering the wiles of the Devil. The Apostle Peter said.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1 Peter 5:8)

Maybe you think Satan spends all his time in Vegas or Hollywood, or Washington D.C. Think again, he loves it behind the pulpits. He gets so much more done for his cause behind the pulpits than anywhere else.

Know what is behind your pulpit. He may be an under shepherd for Jesus Christ, or he may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Mezmur 46:10

How many of you have read this Bible verse and glossed over it and read it fast, not taken the time to actually understand what you have read?

Ask yourself an honest question. When you sit and you read God’s Word do you take the time to contemplate it, meditate on it, dig into the true depth of God’s holy words? When you read where are you? Is the TV on? Is music on in the background?Family making noise? or are you in a place of quiet, a place where you can really live that Bible verse?

That’s the problem with this world I believe one of them which draw us away from the Lord and create bigger problems.

Be still, and know that I am God. Look at this the word still in English definition it means motionless, quiet, mute, unruffled, tranquil. Now in the Hebrew it means:Raw-Faw which in English is to stay, cease, and root word that that word comes from means to cure, to heal, to repair like a physician would. Interesting isn’t it

So given understanding of what the Hebrew words tell us be still means and when we take the time to be still and know the Lord and have nothing else going on this time with the Lord he takes those moments and He repairs us, he cures us, he makes this whole again.WHY? So we can go out And do the Father’s will. So it comes to mind to me that we live in a world that is governed by the counterfeiter liar and he throws everything he can at us audio, visual stimulus everything to take us away from that peace, the calm of just resting in the word the word of God. So the next time you sit and want to study, take time to get deeper, really get into the holy Word of God you need to sit and be quiet, turn off the world make the time necessary each day to be repaired, to be healed of the garbage that all the world throws at us the terrorist, the bombings, the death, the wars, of financial crisis. And if you really sat and listened to all the things going on in the world all that is doing is said to give you fear, worry, a bad feeling inside, a loss of control that can be repaired when you can sit down and quiet yourself and give yourself up to Jesus Christ and learn as a disciple ,then let the peace of the Lord’s understanding come upon you when you are still you can be stronger, spiritually stronger so you can lead your spouse, your children,family, your church to the deeper understanding of the Lord Jesus Christ and his plan for each of us. So shut them phones off! Turn off that stupid reality show! Quit listening to the demonic noise that is called music and if it doesn’t edify and build up your spirit and don’t let that garbage ,the words have an effect on your life.Now think about how you feel when you sing praises and worship songs to the Lord, how you feel inside. It builds up you and the Body of Christ and gives you joy in your heart.

So look at the crap that you let into your life and you wonder why you have problems ,fears, worries, acting as if around every corner you going to be attacked. I leave you with the Bible verse that I say out loud and try to in my heart each day to keep because this Bible verse has power ,it has the truth that we need to get into our spirit.The spirit of truth that we need to hang on to in the deepest way. First John 4:4″ Little children, you are from God and have overcome them for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the worldthey are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error!

What kind of spirit do you have inside of you? Fear or VICTORY! The choice is yours! The Lord Jesus Christ gave us that, the ability to choose. So today right now while you read this you have an unique opportunity to choose.

To live in the light of Jesus Christ or to perish in the darkness! THE CHOICE IS YOURS I ask that you make it before you breathe your last breath because it will be too late THEN. God does not force you or me to do something. He gave us free will. And that means he will let’s us make stupid choices or lets us make living choices.DEATH or LIFE!

Be blessed and receive the joy of the Lord’s into your hearts, minds, souls. I invite comments, questions, concerns from anyone that may read what God has me write. so again here’s my email jeremiah 156@life.com

One World Religion???

Rise of the One World Religion

By Mike Taylor


 

“And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live” (Revelation 13:12-14).

I have at other times written about the history of the Catholic Church, mainly the Roman Catholic Church, but with current developments and the election of a surprise candidate called Pope Francis, I feel I need to readdress this “religion” once again based on these new developments. In my last previous article about the last pope, I marveled at how this man just doesn’t seem to fit the preconceived notions floating in my head and those spoken about of. But new developments and details have been brought to light, and we need to look at this man a little closer.

Noting all the signs of the times around us, I’ve wondered when and how a one-world church prophesied in the Bible would come about. For over a hundred years, one body has secretly and with stealth promoted a one-world religion to draw all religions to the “mother church,” which is the Roman Catholic Church. In the past, they did it violently and with blood. Today, they do it with stealth and cunning invading every part of society including education─to promote the unity of the faith. They will do it again with blood during the Tribulation.

Understand, that in the past for personal reasons and because my younger brother has embraced this Satanic form of religion (he feels that only through the Catholic Church can his salvation be assured), I have resisted the idea of shining the light on this movement of “another Christ” instead of the true Christthis antichrist type, a.k.a. the “Vicar of Christ” or god on earth. But I have a duty to God to call out heresy and evil within any religious organization that labels itself as “Christian.” It is our duty and our calling according to Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter 6.

Any organization on earth that puts itself above God’s Word should NOT be tolerated by any born-again, gospel believing Christian. We must realize that no man, no church and no organization can assure us of redemption except through the blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Not the Catholic Church, not sacraments, not Mary, not dead saints, not Christian denominations or any power on earth will assure you of a place at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Our Lord will not be replaced with any mere man/woman or church. Paul spoke of our personal responsibility for assuring our own salvation, and it is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, when he wrote:

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:9-12).

Did Paul write that our salvation is through any other means except through the blood of our Savior? No, Paul makes no mention of any other way, as it is not found in the Bible anywhere. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.” So any other way is simply a LIE. But my brethren which church organization has promoted these lies for over a 1400 years plusthat the only way to God is through their church? Correct. The Roman Catholic Church is that antithesis of all things that God ordained through His Son, Jesus Christ. Of itself, it is antichrist.

I spoke of stealth in the first part of this commentary message─that one organization has gone fairly silent in recent years directly, but has used deception and the resurgence of its goal of a “one world religion” drawing together all religions including the Far East religions of mysticism and pagan worship. Don’t believe me? I ask that you read the following article sent to me by a dear brother of my online congregation through the link below, (copy and paste if the link doesn’t work): http://www.understandthetimes.org/commentary/c97.shtml

It’s titled “The Jesuit Agenda and the Evangelical/Protestant Church.”

In that article, you will see that the agenda of the Catholic Church is well and alive through men such as Rick Warren and his cohorts, and the emerging church. Steeped with idolatry and mysticism, they do the bidding of the “mother church” and the secret Jesuit society. You see it on TV…“Come back to the mother church”…you mean like one world church? No, thank you, I gave at the office.

We as Christians must understand that we are not to judge the world, as our Lord and Savior will judge according to His Word, but that does not apply to things that are heretical within our own ranks and the preaching of the kingdom of God by His true church.

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church” (1 Corinthians 6:2-4).

All one has to do is review the history of the Roman Catholic Church and how it has subverted the gospel to its own enrichment, the sins of the clergy and the pope, and the continued practice of false doctrine and debauchery, which is the modern Roman Catholic Church. Can anyone say “pedophile priest?” Some say, “Oh, that was the past, It’s not happening today.” Oh, really? So you give them a pass with their historic examples of debauchery and murder? Did you realize that the last pope moved around pedophile priests to prevent the church paying out money in lawsuits? He basically hid them out and they continued to be priests and child molesters. Is this Christ-like and from the supreme Poobah of the religion?

The history of the Catholic Church from its headquarters in Rome has been one of blood and domination. We read of popes who were the most hideous of sinful men that claimed the authority of God Almighty, and whosoever disagreed with their edicts were either excommunicated, or worse─slain from a thousand different methods of torture of a thousand knives and execution. Read about their extermination of any Protestant religions that just wanted to worship God in their own way. I know that’s the past. But I’m aghast when I read the modern recent position that the Catholic Church took against helpless Jewish people during World War Two and basically aligning itself with Nazi Germany and blessing their swastika symbol as a symbol to be revered, and/or feared.

The power and domination of the church in Rome has dwindled in the last 200 years, but if any power arises that seeks domination of the earth, it’s a safe bet that the church in Rome will do its bidding to be at the table of the power brokers. It’s their history, it’s their entire focus of a one-world religion headed by one religious authority, called the Vicar of Christ, their “god on earth.” In itself, the title is outright blasphemy. The church in Rome will arise again, but only for a short few years before she is destroyed in judgment. Mark my words.

TRUE CHRISTIANS MUST BE WARNED

One of the greatest dangers to Christianity today is the deliberate suppression of biblical truth for the sake of unity. The danger intensifies as we see that many highly visible and influential Christians are jumping on the Vatican’s ecumenical bandwagon. Instead of warning believers that this false unity is the emergence of the “last days” apostate church, some evangelicals are embracing and applauding those who are engineering it.

Everyday we see ministers─so called shepherds of the flock, misleading people away from the truths of the Bible. They are seldom exposed, except when their sins find them out (to the glee of the secular media). Jesus warned of such charlatans that are wolves amongst the sheep.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit” (Matthew 7:15-17).

And Paul, when the fledging church was just beginning, warned the people in his ministry in Acts chapter 20:29-31:

“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.”

It is indeed disturbing to see so many folks that are blinded by the deception that goes on in modern Protestant churches that do the bidding of the “mother church” to draw all religions into one common, all powerful religious state. They have been working steadily at bringing “departed brothers” back into the faith, or the “holy mother church.” When Pope John Paul II was alive, he promoted the following:

In his 1995 encyclical Et Unum Sint, Pope John Paul II said he intends “to promote every suitable initiativeto increase the unity of all Christians until they reach full communion” and “to encourage the efforts of all who work for the cause of unity.” The pope’s stated desire is “to gather all people and all things into Christ, so as to be for all—an inseparable sacrament of unityexpressed in the common celebration of the Eucharist.” During a week of prayer for Christian unity Pope John Paul II said, “I gladly take this opportunity to call the attention of all believers to the ecumenical commitment that marked VC II. The council rightly defined the division among Christians as a scandal. The council Fathers felt the need to beg pardon of God and of their brethren for the sins committed against unity.” He asked Catholics “to cultivate an authentic spiritual ecumenism” through the Virgin Mary [not through the Lord Jesus].

I quote now from an article concerning the papacy’s sole intent of uniting all religions under one authority, the Church in Rome:

 

“As we watch the Vatican we can see a seductive strategy for uniting all Christians. They masterfully and deliberately redefine biblical terms to make them more vague, ambiguous and acceptable to both Catholics and Protestants. An example of this is the 1999 Lutheran-Roman CatholicJoint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification.” In the declaration, Rome uses equivocal and indefinite words to affirm the doctrine of “justification by faith alone” but, at the same time, continues to affirm the anathema’s that condemn all who believe this doctrine. We must not be misled. Rome has not changed its position on things that really matter! Instead they take advantage of professing Christians who lack discernment or who are unwilling to contend forthe faith.” (“The Pope’s Push for a One-World Religion” by Mike Gendron.)

I would go a step further than making doctrine acceptable to Catholics and Protestants alike. They are wooing all major religions to their altar of servitude. Religions such as Islam, Hinduism, Shintoism, and every–ismeven paganism out there that is a religion to some people and bringing them under one big religious tent with the power of the papacy in supreme control in religious affairs.

One Word Government, One World Religion

We now see a push for a one-world government due to global economic upheaval. Many elitists are planning the demise of the capitalistic model of free enterprise and promoting a “new world order.” How this new system shakes out and what will be the catalyst to making the kings of the earth to demand a one-world system is for prophecy in the near future. The stage is set, the actors are being put in place, and all we need is to light the fuse to send the world into utter chaos even more so than it already is.

John spoke of this period of time that we are fast drawing down to, know as the “end of days.”

“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication” (Revelation 17:1-2).

 

John speaks of a woman. When identified, the woman stands for a religious entity upon the earth. In this case the woman is a harlot, meaning that she does not serve the true God, but prostitutes herself to false gods and false doctrine and misleads the people into idolatry.

“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: (Revelation 17:3-4).

I submit to you that through the ages since Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father, no other religious body that calls itself “Christian” has perverted Scripture to their own enrichment and own lust for power as the Roman Catholic Church. Any encyclopedia will affirm that only one religious body of paramount whoredom has committed the sins John mentioned…yes, the Roman Catholic Church. They hold their traditions and the edicts of the pope above the clear commands of Holy Scriptures. To promote the power of the church, and debase the authority of God’s Holy Word as secondary to their authority is a most severe blasphemy.

“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration” (Revelation 17:5-6).

How many people have been slain in the name of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the last 2000 years? Millions, tens of millions? The number and the atrocities of the sins of the church in Rome rises like a stench in the nostrils of God. Read your history.

In chapter 17 of Revelation, John goes on to describe the beast power that arises during the last 7 years, called Daniel’s 70 week. You see how this harlot rides the beast and is joined to its power and uses her influence to support and defend the beast power and it’s administration. Finally, when the beast is done with her, she is destroyed by fire

“And he saith unto me, the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled” (Revelation 17:15-17).

In Revelation 17, the woman is controlling the beast, bringing about its worship. But she and the beast are antagonists competing against each other. Furthermore, she is heavily involved in politics (influencing kings), manufacturing, shipping, craftsmanship, and merchandising.

The woman indeed has a relationship with the beast but she is not directly part of the politics, economics, religion, or military of the beast. She and the beast are separate entities, even though both are part of the overall one-world system. The Catholic Church has always been part of the beast system, influencing it from within. Conversely, the woman is portrayed as an external influence, competing with, riding, and at some point exercising control of the beast.

How this harlot will be destroyed by fire is conjecture on anyone’s part, but a nuclear blast would destroy all of Rome and the Vatican estate that resides there.

What Time is it?

Many in the Catholic Church hierarchy and the leaders within have reported that after Pope Benedict XVI finished his “reign” over the Catholic Church, that the next pope would be an apostate. From Wikipedia, we read about what is said about the last pope. In my last message I went over this prophecy of St. Malachy and was little puzzled about the selection of this popeone called Francis. It was predicted that there would be possibly several other men and that the new pope would take the name PiusI wondered, “If this is the pope we were looking for is the False Prophet.”

But in investigating this man further as to who he is, at first I thought he looks so grandfatherly, so humble, and he’s definitely OLD. How could he be the prophesied a “false prophet?” That is, until I had several people email me from all over the planet filling me in about this man and supplying information about his past.

1. His given surname is Peitro (“Peter”).

2. His family immigrated to Argentina from Italy…hence he’s Roman.

3. And most disturbing, he has long been a member of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits.

4. The authors of Petrus Romanus, a book that I have been reading, agree that his pedigree fits, Peter the Roman.

From Wikipedia online:

Bergoglio studied at the archdiocesan seminary Inmaculada Concepción in Villa Devoto,Buenos Aires City, and after three years entered the Society of Jesus on 11 Mart 1958.[12] Father Bergoglio completed his final stage of spiritual formation as a Jesuit, tertianship, atAlcalá de Henares, Spain, and took his perpetual vows in the Society of Jesus on 22 Nisan 1973. [27] He was named Provincial Superior of the Society of Jesus in Argentina on 31 Temmuz 1973 and served until 1979. [28] After the completion of his term of office, in 1980 he was named the rector of the seminary in San Miguel (it is unclear which one), and served in that capacity until 1986. He spent several months at the Sankt Georgen Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology in Frankfurt, Germany, while considering possible dissertationtopics, [29] before returning to Argentina to serve as a confessor and spiritual director to the Jesuit community in Córdoba. [30]

Noting the above quote and the determination to make all religions bow to the pope under any means, should give each of us pause. Again, I am reminded of the verse in Revelation 13, (concerning Pope Francis’ demeanor and first impression):

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed” (Revelation 13:11-12)

As mentioned in my last article, don’t be fooled by the man’s demeanor and his seemly grandfatherly front, speaking words that soothe, and even salting them with the name of Jesus. No, look at his actions and if they are in line with Scripture, because if he is the man, then he will say words that you want to hear, but is “metaphorically” crossing his fingers behind his back. Meaning, he means nothing he says, but speaks to deceive. Using his Jesuit upbringing in his church, he will demand conformity.

I warn every truly converted Christian man or woman, to make your selves familiar with the commands of Scripture. Be an informed Berean, as mentioned in Acts 17:10-11:

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

If Christians takes it upon themselves to read the Bible, they will not be deceived with “traditions of the church” or any doctrine that is contrary to the Word of God. I beseech each and every one of you to put on the whole armor of God, as the spirit world is growing more active with each passing day.

Ephesians 6.11-18:

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”

I pray for my brother who puts his trust in an organization, not his Lord and Savior, to keep him on the straight and narrow path that leads to life. When this world approaches the Tribulation, I pray that each of you, including my brother will take the Word of God in hand and search its pages to find if these things are true.

I spoke earlier of a catalyst, a fuse that would ignite the call for a one-world government, and a one-world religion. Everything is in place; the actors are stage left, stage right and are ready to begin their short act of the last seven years of mankind’s attempt to govern. What might that catalyst be? If suddenly upwards of a billion people plus, suddenly vanish off the surface of this planet, such an economic collapse that we only envision will happen at warped speed.

The call for calm and a ruling body to restore order will be set in motion almost immediately, to prevent anarchy and chaos. I believe that the removal of the church saints from this earth, to meet Jesus in the air, will be the most catastrophic event to come to this planet apart from the beginning of His actual 1000-year reign beginning with the War of Armageddon. Men will search for answers, reasons, and to be comforted that all is well. It is said that the one thing that would unite this world into one solid unit is an “ALIEN INVASION” from another planet. Hence, this is how the Rapture will be explained away.

 

Enter stage right, the one world government, and enter stage left, the beginning of the one world religion headed by the False Prophet and the Roman Catholic Church, in that order. Hold onto your seat, my brothers and sisters, as the ride could get real bumpy before the Father says, “It is enough. Go get my children.”

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2-3).
