No Need For New Revelation

As tempting as it may be to want to see into the future, it is forbidden by God. If we trust Christ we have no need to see into the future any more than what God gave us in the Bible.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 "…6 Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.…"

I don't listen to modern prophesy. If it's not in the Bible it is divination. We have all we need in what is written, no need to go anywhere else or know the future.

1 Corinthians 4:5-7 5 Therefore judge nothing before the proper time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
6 Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written.” Then you will not take pride in one man over another.
7 For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?…


Tantrums and Lies

What we are watching in the news these days with the liberal left, is constant accusations of what conservatives are, but we have not seen evidenced.

Remember conservatives were accused of possible rioting if their candidate didn't win, and yet, there was none when Obama won twice. However, we have seen nothing but rioting and tantrums on the part of the liberal left when their candidate didn't win. Notice, once again the narcissists accuse the conservatives of the very thing the liberals were planning to do when they see themselves losing control over everyone else.

When narcissists lose control over others, they do what comes naturally to a six year old undisciplined mind, they have a tantrum, doing the very thing they accused others of doing, but the others were not and never have done.

The liberals must malign anyone who does not think as they do. They use language and covert meanness to manipulate and intimidate others, as well as black ball them wherever possible so as to cut off the free speech of the conservative, thinking this will elevate the narcissist in the eyes of others.

But it's not only in the political arena that this happens, it is also in the organized church gatherings that base everything or nearly everything they do on human tradition. Their tradition takes center stage over Bible truth. Don't believe me? Watch what happens when you challenge a pastor or church goer to question their practices that are not Biblical and watch what comes out of them. At the very least they will alienate you from others through gossip and lies.

Narcissists always accuse others of the very things the narcs are doing but the others are not. If a narc says you are a liar, then you know they are lying to you or have lied to you. If they accuse you of being crude they are describing themselves.

Sadly we see this often even in church gatherings. An attempt to silence those who insist that the Bible must be the standard and "go-to" source for everything.

It isn't possible for me to count the number of times "Christians" mocked and demeaned me and others for exposing their false doctrines or unScriptural assertions. Often so called "Christians" will completely ignore a challenge to use the Bible rather than popular traditional "religion" as their source.

We know we are living in the end times when those who walk with Christ are rejected among their own, not only family but also those who claim to be of the family of God.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.
3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.
4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"

To The Jews, His Promise Remains

Psalm 29:11
"The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace."

God has promised this to the Jews, the promise remains!

Jesus Christ King of All Things

Psalm 29:9-11
9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everything says, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sat as King at the flood;
Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.
11 The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.

He is the Voice Upon the Waters

"Psalm 29:1-3
The Voice of the Lord in the Storm.
A Psalm of David.

"29 Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name;
Worship the Lord in holy array.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
The Lord is over many waters.

Our Hope in the Lord Alone

Psalm 28:2-4 "…2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who work iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.
4 Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Requite them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them their recompense.…"

Isolated Unto God

For those who feel a sense of isolation from others because of your determination to obey Christ, God comforts us with this psalm of David!

Psalm 27:10-14

10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
But the Lord will take me up.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a level path
Because of my foes.
12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
