The Mystery of Lawlessness

Exodus 7:3 says, And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.  When I was a young student of the Word this bothered me. I almost couldn’t believe that a God who IS LOVE would do this to a man.
Over the years I heard a few sermons where this was mentioned and yes they comforted me and had a measure of truth but not fully and I really wanted to understand this.

As I walk with The Lord and see how the spiritual Laws that are in place regulate all that is created, I feel comforted and have a greater understanding on this. Now you see my reason for sharing, there may be others that want to know this!

When a person refuses to acknowledge a mighty work of YaHoVaH it is very much like refuting a Word of Knowledge…and can be worse. When Ananias and Sapphira lied in the face of Peter, it was not about Peter, but was an affront against the Holy Spirit because Peter was operating in the RUACH KODESH so they actually lied into the face of YaH.

They were slain on the spot!

Here is what I believe the Word shows us regarding the Laws of the Spirit Realm, (Kingdom of Heaven’s Rules):

1. The judgments of YaH are righteous and true and one way he judges is to allow spirits to come upon a person or an area of land. This is shown many times in the Word so we know this.
Here’s what it is…you get to keep whatever you want to keep. In essence, if you refuse to yield yourself to HIS will and come under his protection (which is one major benefit for doing it!) then you can continue to go your own way but the protection is not there to the degree it can be. AND, the spirits that you have been yielding to will be able to have their reign over you, and there are required sacrifices to that deity that will begin to manifest whether a person or nation understands that or not. (Rebellion being the entry demon and then his buddies follow with him.)

Right now all over the world, there are people who are called by His Name…who are filled with His Ruach HaKodesh, who are lifting up other gods!

YES! Gods like: continuing in pagan celebrations like Christmas and Easter and Halloween, prosperity (love of silver and gold and luxuries) and the love of power over people, and the next and greatest— refusing to honor the Shabbat of YaHoVaH and continuing to follow after the Roman Papacy.

So what is the result?  The rampant exponential growth of the abortion rate is the result.  The often -first born- are being given to Molech or name it whatever you want, but that is the result. It is the natural progression of events. It is the required worship of this evil deity and others of the like.

When Ahab was asking all the ‘prophets’ for advice on whether or not to go up against Ramothgilead and they all gave him great swelled words from “The Lord” which assured him that the enemy would be delivered into his hand.

YaHoVaH asks a question that should put the Fear of The Lord into the hearts of all people!  We read in I Kings 22:20 He says, “who shall persuade Ahab that he would go up and fall against Ramothgilead?”

God will not always strive with man…

So here The LORD asks a question in His Court and in verse 20 and 21 the replies begin…one said in this manner and another said in that manner. There came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD and said, I will persuade him. 22 And the LORD, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And He said, “Thou shall persuade him, and prevail also, go forth and do so.”

So YaH deems that Ahab will not turn from his wickedness and so He is not willing to strive with him any longer so Ahab’s time is up. Ahab consistently used prophets to enable him to remain contrary to God in his ways, doing what he wanted and getting “God’s” approval. He liked the soothing sayings of the “prophets” who operated in their unyielded, fleshy mixture, so he was able to have what he loved and it led to his death.

We see the same really, in Exodus with Pharaoh. Each mighty miracle of God our Elohim was done to show His superiority over the various gods of the Egyptians. When he refused to acknowledge YaHoVaH in His Sovereignty well, he was allowed to keep his little g gods but then he has to take what comes with that choice.

So, when Pharaoh kept his angry rebellious attitude with YaHoVaH our Elohim, He allowed spirits to come upon him which is what hardens a person’s heart to the freedom of truth which is derived by obedience. AND, it is not that God has “put these spirits upon a person” as though it is His choice to do so…NO, rather it is that the person GETS these spirits because of the Spiritual Laws of the Kingdom. The Father releases them according to illegal actions that were committed.

BUT, I am speaking here of judgments and not just a one-time transgression of the Law with repentance following it. DO NOT be discouraged! Judgments like these examples are a result of deliberate and willful disobedience in the face of enlightenment.

Pharaoh was shown who was the ONE true God and he determined to keep his own deities. His deities had given him his throne, way of life and all his wealth and power. THIS God was telling him to let his slaves go.

Now, the judgments against America are imminent as shown recently by the indisputable Harbingers that have been disclosed by Jonathan Cahn. (I am not going to review them here for time’s sake, but if you are unaware of what they are, I would suggest going to YouTube and watching some teachings on them…or buy the books.)

I believe that the judgments are about to happen for all the Gentile nations. I also believe that the instrument in the hand of God will be the Islamic forces. (Vessels of Wrath), He will allow them to rise up and many will suffer at their hands. HOW CAN I SAY THIS???

Well, firstly, He says that if His people will not return to the land He has given them He will send the fishers. If they still refuse to return He will send the hunters. (Jeremiah 16:14-21) (KJV)
14  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
15  But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
16  Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
17  For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
18  And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
19  O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
20  Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
21  Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.

Herein is another facet to the Mystery of Lawlessness! Did you catch it?

He is using evil to drive His people back to His plan for them. It happens over and over again. So again, is this our Elohim being wicked? NO! It is the consequence of disobedience.

Have you ever noticed that “backslidden” Christians or non-observant Jews/Hebrews or even Christians who believe that the Law of God was done away with, operate in extreme wickedness?  It is a wonder to me whether or not they can be restored and I suppose if they were not ever really HIS then they had the opportunity to taste and see that the LORD is good and if they found His law binding and then rejected His Kingdom and found the citizenry obtuse, well then they can take the road out and stay in the enemy’s kingdom (the world), and they will be ruled over by the enemy of their soul—EVEN if they do not understand who or what the enemy is and what that means for them…

Some recent examples of this in current events are people like Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray as well. Then there’s the conjuring of Satan by Katie Perry in the Emmy’s who supposedly began as a born again Christian and whose father is a Pastor…

Here’s a fact you may not have heard; serial killers are often people who at one time were solid church-going Christians!  How can this be? Were these folks ever really God’s people?  Did He ever really allow His Ruach Kodesh to take up residence within these ones who now demonstrate such blatant disregard and rebellion towards the Laws of God?

There are a couple verses which will give us an answer as to what is a possible result of the absolute rejection of God, our Elohim and His offer of salvation after having had witnessed the miracles, signs or wonders of His interaction on the earth as He has manifested to people in their sight.

Over and over throughout the Scriptures we see how that after the LORD showed Himself to people or nations they were then subject to fierce judgments because of the amount of truth they had been shown. In the same token, they were subject to great rewards in the face of obedience!

Also, as an aside, when the LORD is preparing to bring His judgments on a nation or people group, he will show it to His prophets, and nowadays also, His apostles.  In the case of Joseph, the LORD was planning on using him so mightily that He had to make sure that Joseph’s heart was prepared, hence all the suffering and trials.

When the LORD our Elohim, YaHoVaH, raises up a “Judge” (in the absence of a King) to give us the irrefutable Word of the LORD and people do not repent and shepherds do not fall on their face and “put on sackcloth and ashes” and fast and pray and repent…we are all in trouble.

So, I believe that is where we are right now. The entire Gentile peoples who have had a true visitation of YaH for 2 days, have the writing on the wall –so to speak. They have been weighed and found wanting and their judgments will be coming swiftly.

How can I say this? Who am I to say such things? Listen, I’m in it with the rest of the people, folks.  But if you are paying attention, there is evidence all around you. The evil is increasing in intensity and the Hand of His covering needs to be sought with a repentant heart!

When we come to YHVH in our own way rather than the way He has asked us we are operating in the spirit of Cain. People who say that it doesn’t matter if they celebrate Christmas and Easter, or which day they honor the Shabbat, they are being like Cain. They read the Word and know what God wants from them but so many others that they respect and love are celebrating these traditional “holidays” that surely they must be all right. Also, to ignore history and it clearly showed that the Shabbat was changed to delete all things “Jewish” by the Holy Roman Empire (for which the punishment for celebrating the Feasts and the 7th day Shabbat was death in many cases), well, the onus is on that individual.

Also, please consider this example:  Remember when you were first born again and so very zealous for the things of God and you read about how Aaron, brother to Moses, made a golden calf ….let’s look into this.

Exodus 32:21-24 (KJV)
21  And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22  And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
23  For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
24  And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 

First of all, we must remember that Aaron is YaH’s choice as a High Priest!  He is God ordained!  He claimed that he gathered their gold and threw it into the fire and the golden calf came out. Do you remember wondering why God didn’t smite him? I do. I was incredulous.

Is it so far from what we are talking about? Isn’t it the same kind of thing? I mean, We want to celebrate the way we learned and so even though we know it isn’t of God we MAKE it about Him? If a heart is set on mischief this is the result.

Second of all, YaHoVaH had just delivered these people with so many miracles, signs and wonders and covenants that there was NO DOUBT who He is. WE TOO have experienced many miracles of deliverance and protection and provision and we are in no way less informed as to who YaH is! If you have true salvation then you are filled with the HOLY SPIRIT and have the indwelling of the presence of God!  DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY.

IF AFTER ALL that God has done for you and shown you of Himself you still regard him among santa, christmas trees and the easter bunny, then you are worse off than Aaron because HE didn’t have the benefit of the indwelling presence of God like you do.

Please, I implore you, if you are reading this and you are still celebrating the pagan holidays and trying to incorporate the Messiah into them and if you are still a Sunday only Sabbath Keeper, repent. Change your mind! I hope I have helped you to do that.

It is never too late while you are still breathing air, but it will get harder and harder to do each time you reject the truth. I have made that case too, above, in this teaching. This is called “Soul Ties”.

The Mystery of Lawlessness is a vast subject and I have only touched upon it here. I will expound on it as the Spirit of God, (Ruach Kodesh) prompts me.

List of things to Renounce

Counterfeit spirits have the power to counterfeit any manner of hearing the Lord.  They can speak to and through one’s thoughts.   They can answer fleeces, give visions and pictures, etc.

The enemy has the power to be deceiving in any manner of hearing the Lord. For instance they can speak to you and you may believe it is just a thought. Once you entertain that thought then the evil spirit gets a foothold into your mind. If you do not deal with it by taking that thought captive to the obedience of Messiah, then the evil can become a stronghold.

Strongholds are any concepts, ideologies, theologies, beliefs, values or value systems, or simple thoughts which a person will defend because they have accepted them as truth and/or given them credibility for their lives. A person may hide behind these strongholds and use them as defense mechanisms to argue their points.

The following is a list of the works of occult spirits that open the door to evil spirits.  (Listed Alphabetically)

Amulets, Astral projection, Astrology, Automatic handwriting

Blood covenants

Card Reading, Channeling, Charms (good luck pieces), Crystals, Clairvoyance, Conjuring, Consulting the dead, lewd or nude dancing

Crystal ball (owning or using)

Voodoo

Warlock, Water witching, White magic, Witchcraft

Yoga, even “Christian Yoga”

Christians must be trained to use great discernment.  Doors open to these spirits in several ways:

1. They have access to further deceive people who have toyed with occult activity in relationship  to mediums, horoscopes, Ouija boards, palm reading, 8-balls, channeling,  new age etc.

2. A desire in one’s heart for supernatural power leaves one vulnerable.   In a Christian for instance, they find ways to demand answers from God and try to manipulate the Word for their own benefit.

3. The desire for supernatural experiences and prophetic “words” from those claiming to be prophets of God also will open the door.

4. People who look for signs or put confidence in dreams are vulnerable.  They are ones who lay fleeces before the Lord on a regular basis.  Fleeces, if used at all, should be used with extreme caution as unto the fear and respect for the Lord.

IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY FORM OF THE OCCULT YOU NEED TO RENOUNCE ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY.

(Isaiah 8:19, 29:4)  This will make your hearing impure, warped, twisted, and polluted.  Verbally renounce these past associations in Jesus Name, and turn your back on them and cast out the spirits associated with them.   (“I renounce all association with ___________in the Name of Y’shua HaMaschiach, I cast down imaginations that I knowingly or unknowingly cooperated with. I resist them and break any spiritual yokes of enslavement assigned against my spiritual hearing, in Y’shua’s Name.”)

WRITE YOUR  RENOUNCEMENT IN Y’shua’s NAME using the above guideline. Please then after you are free, remember to take every thought captive to the obedience of Messiah.

2 Corinthians 10:2-6 (KJV)
2  But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6  And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Leviticus 19:26 (KJV)
26  Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

1 Samuel 15:23 (KJV)
23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Isaiah 57:3-5 (KJV)
3  But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4  Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5  Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

Micah 5:12-15 (KJV)
12  And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
13  Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
14  And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
15  And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

A Now Word!

Jesus’ 5th Saying on the Cross

John 19:25-27 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdelene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, “Woman behold thy son!” 27 Than saith he to the disciple, “Behold thy mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

I always thought this was somehow a little strange. Why would Jesus do this? Did He need to? Mary and Joseph had four other sons and at least 3 daughters! And do not be fooled they were raising their children in an Orthodox Jewish home, adhering to all the Laws and honoring God. Hebrew men take responsibility for their widowed Mothers!

How do we know there were other children after Jesus? Let’s look to the Word of God.

In Matthew 13:55, 56 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Jesus has all these family members and what? So—where are they? If they were there that day at the cross, it is not recorded.

Does this mean that Jesus didn’t trust Mary’s other sons to take care of her? They were all devout Jews! They would surely take care of their mother! And we see throughout the gospels—Mary and the brethren—so we can surmise that they already were taking care of her. Jesus was about His Father’s business since He was 12.

So here it is. Jesus’ family members are not there while he is being crucified! Were that ashamed? Did they believe he was the Son of God, the Anointed One? Did they believe like the Pharisees, when they said in Mt.27:42 “He saves others, himself He cannot save.”

Were they angry because He spoke against the Sanhedrin and the rulers of God’s people?

Let’s look into this:
In Matthew 10:34-36 it says, 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.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

We also find in Psalms 69:8, 9: 8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

Now because Jesus fulfilled all things that He spoke and that God spoke, it is no wonder that these scriptures are clearly evident in his own life.

We know from the Word that Jesus and his family obeyed the Laws of Moses and celebrated all the Feasts of the Lord. So it stands to reason that if his the siblings of His own household, those reared in the same home, did not even come when he was being crucified—it is because they were at variance with him.

I submit to you this day that the Bible is the Word of God and is Light, Life and Truth. But that means that it is also SPIRIT.

RELIGION! It stifles the Spirit of God! When you have religion, you know that there is a God, you feel like if you do all the right things you might be able to please God. But you can be doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons.

And it has always been a problem! When the Spirit of God spoke to Simeon and told him he would not die until he saw the salvation of God’s people come in the flesh, Simeon knew the time was soon.

He was a religious leader in the same time frame as the Pharisees and Saducees. And Simeon knew the Lord when he saw him at 8 days of age, without the benefit of miracles and signs. How?

Because of the Spirit of God! He had a relationship with God and not just religion! Let’s look at the religious leaders that were around at the same time as Simeon was preparing his heart to receive the salvation of the world:
1) There was the voice of one crying in the wilderness. John the Baptist. But was he a recognized leader in the church? NO. Jesus said John was of the Spirit of Elijah.
a) there were those who believed in John’s message and were his disciples. They were out there laboring with him in the wilderness.
b) These people heard the Spirit of the Lord to know that the Messiah was coming
c) They were to prepare the Way of the Lord in their hearts and as many of the people as they could reach.
d) REPENTANCE is how this is done and ewhen you are walking in repentance, the Spirit of Elijah is upon you too.
2) THEN there were the other religious leaders of God’s people: they were formally recognized as leaders
a) They had their own agendas and did not hear the Spirit of the Lord to know that the Messiah was coming! They did not tell the people to repent! They weren’t repenting either. (But the timeline of Cyrus told them clearly that the Messiah was due to arrive in their time.)
b) They had traits that were not of God, such as:
1) Hypocrites, actors, wanted to be the focus at gathering and in the streets
2) Wanted to have places of honor and be called Master and wear special clothes that set them apart from the people.
3) They felt they were elite and better than the “little people”.
4) They oppressed the people, taking the offerings to give them a cushy lifestyle. Forced others to work and they would not do physical labor
5) They made false vows because they swore by the gold of the Temple showing their hearts to be materialistic, involved in idol worship of gold and what it buys!

So, maybe Mary and Joseph’s sons and daughters had religion as laid out for them by the Pharisees and Saducees and Scribes.

So I submit to you today—That is Dead Religion! If you want the resurrection power of Jesus Christ to be in your life you must go to the cross!

Back to Mary. She is at the cross, yes—but to watch Jesus suffer and die! Jesus knew she needed more and He was determined to make sure that she got it!

She had to die to herself. This is a difficult thing to do. She needs help to do it! She even had to die to what she thought God was going to do with her son!

Now let’s look at this more carefully. Jesus looks down from the cross in the midst of His pain and agony—each breath a tremendous labor, and says, “Woman, behold thy son!” This is a dying statement and according to Jewish beliefs, carried a great deal of weight! It STILL carries a great weight in most cultures today.

You know that His mother was going to listen to her dying son, her eldest son! Yes she was! And what was Jesus doing?

I believe Jesus was providing a Spiritual teacher for His mother. He was making sure that she would understand the ways of the Spirit of God. And He was positioning her to receive…
She needed to be there in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost! Do you think her other sons would get her there? Maybe not!

When Jesus came back from Heaven, after providing the perfect sacrifice and applying His perfect blood to the Mercy Seat in Heaven—do you think that He showed himself to his family? Did they recognize Him? We don’t know. The Word doesn’t say…
But His disciples saw Him. More than twice…

So Jesus was putting His mother into the hands of one who would make sure she would get the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire! John was the spiritual disciple. He had the prophetic eyes for life. Jesus put His mother into his hands. Into the hands of John the Revelator!

She needed to receive the Spirit of God! And so did her children! It wasn’t enough to know who Jesus was! She of all people knew that He was the Son of God! She risked being stoned to death by her own people because she was pregnant while only engaged to Joseph! So She KNEW!

She needed more than just knowing. More than knowing the Laws of God and the religious practices based on those laws! They do not save us!

But I tell you when the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary a deposit was made. It was the fullness of the god-head bodily. You can read that in Ephesians. Oh yes and He is the Son of God!

Jesus’ family was not saved! However they were familiar with Him, maybe too familiar. You can be born into a Christian home and not be saved. Let’s look at His family a little more…

His family was around when John the Baptist, their cousin, was put into prison, and Jesus did nothing. They saw Jesus hanging around with publicans and healing Centurian’s servants, and lepers and the unclean. Eating and drinking with tax collectors. John was beheaded and Jesus did nothing. Maybe they thought His ministry was too extreme…we don’t know. All we know is they did not stand beside Mary at the cross.

Yea! His good family was probably home preparing for the Passover Feast! They didn’t realize that the Son of God is the Passover Lamb!

Oh don’t miss this folks! Without the Spirit of God behind the works you do they are dead works! Without the Spirit of God within the Word of God it cannot bring the resurrection power we all need to have eternal life! I mean the eternal life of our soul!
(Our spirits are made alive when we receive the Lord into our hearts.) But I submit to you this day that there is more! Now that you are familiar with Jesus—GO further!

I submit that there is a Baptism of Fire! The Spirit of God is still moving as He did when He came to the disciples on the Day of Pentecost! And when He came upon Jesus in the tomb! YES! The same Spirit!

So, if you are sick and tired of following blind guides, hypocrites, and materialistic elitists, then come to the cross and repent!

You too can become a disciple laboring in the wilderness and the Spirit of Elijah will be with you too! Repent of religion!

OK. Now there is one more thing. In John 19:28 the next verse after the 5th saying, it says, After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

ALL THINGS were now accomplished! His family and loved ones were now positioned to receive the Holy Spirit!

Turn over to Acts 1:14. Let’s read it, These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brethren.

So now we see Jesus’ planned positioning of Mary who also brought along the brethren. We can be sure that the disciples told Mary how that Jesus rose from the dead. The incidents we can all read regarding the resurrection and how He ascended right before their eyes! That would do it for most people!

I believe the brethren were persuaded by the testimonies of the Apostles and their Mother. (remember, no one on Earth knew more than she who He was!)

Prepare your heart! Get into position for you and your family to receive the fire! Bring the fire to as many people as possible! Prepare ye the Way of the Lord! Receive His Spirit for resurrection POWER!

A Love Song for the King

He Whispers to Me

He Whispers to me in the cool of the blackness.
He beckons me to rest in His arms and be quietly sure of His strength--
for my life,
my well being,
my best outcome.
I am 'His Song' He tells me--and my heart leaps like the gazelle runs.
Can I believe that?
I so desire it--Can it be?
He whispers again, "My covenant with you is written in blood...
Mine.
You can believe!"
Joy unspeakable and
full of glory
settles into all my dark and doubtful places...
All the years under the words of degradation
and disdain
which were spoken over me
are annihilated in that...
He chose me to be His beloved!
...And that
...He whispers to me

Live What You Believe

If you really believe that the Lord is returning soon, are you living life as usual? OR are you more radical in your worship, your study of the Word of God, your dedication to His sayings and truths for your life?

Worship is so much more than a song. It is a lifestyle. It is believing that He is with you so much that you wouldn't watch something that He wouldn't watch. OR say something nasty because He can hear you. When you are alone, are you still living for Him? Are you doing things in secret that you wouldn't let other Christians know you are doing?

Are you loving the co-worker that despitefully uses you and ridicules you? Are you praying for them? Do you turn away wrath with a soft response?

Are you watching and loving movies that are calling evil good and good evil? Movies that glorify prostitution, like Pretty Woman. Or movies that do not honor the sanctity of life and even bring a clergyman into the decision to euthanise someone, like in Million Dollar Baby. Is your discernment wrapped in deception?

If a person has such a warped discernment to view these movies and say they are great movies, what can be said of their conscience?

Is that what is known as a seared conscience? Are we so desensitized to the Lord's ways that we are falling for the enemy's schemes to derail us?

So many movies and so little time...
STUDY THE WORD AND SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED FOR THE TIME IS SHORT.

I am not a religious believer, however, I really do believe that my Savior is returning soon and I am hoping that I will have a full lamp of oil to keep my light burning...AND I hope to inspire as many other believers to become ignited in their zeal for Him!

Also, please dear ones, know that the great falling away is in our midst. The worship of the Beast will more than likely come from the Charismatic faction of the Church. They are the ones who are looking for miracles and signs and wonders. (SO AM I !!!) But there is a deep ditch on both sides of the spiritual realm...(One side denies the beautiful things of the Spirit of God and the other side calls unholy things to be of God. Both are blasphemies.)

I have witnessed a worship leader get on the floor and slither like a snake. And everyone went on as usual. They believed it to be a manifestation of the Holy Spirit! Do not be deceived! That type of manifestation is not HOLY! But I submit to you that if you cannot discern between good and evil in a movie, you will have a difficult time in spiritual settings as well. (at that point we must ask ourself if we are in sin of some sort that we are able to be so deceived.)

II Thessalonians 2:9-12 shows us: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
There are false wonders being done in the Name of the Lord right now as I write this. How does the person performing these lying signs do all these things? By an angel. Yes. Most of these guys are telling at least this one truth, they are doing these things with angels.

AND we are called to judge the angels… Why? Angels are perfect and there is no room for error, so what angels are we to judge? Of course the fallen angels.
I Corinthians 6:3-4 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

I beseech you therefore brethren, live a life of worship, walking circumspectly before the HOLY GOD! Remove sin far from you and ask Him for discernment. I believe that some people have the gift of discernment but never open it because of laziness, they just get their teachings from teachers, pastors et. al and not for themselves.

We must be lovers of the Truth. It is Jesus Himself remember.

I believe we are headed for very difficult times and the time is now to get on fire for God and Study to Show Ourselves Approved! Be blessed and walk out your salvation with fear and trembling. That is a love walk.
