America Under Judgment

God has shown this very thing to me too! We are under judgment now, everything will escalate.

End Times Prophecy Watch

June 28 at 7:43 AM · 

Donald Trump and his team are now beginning to admit that they might be in political trouble. Many evangelical Trump supporters have said that it was God who raised up Trump to be some sort of "savior" for America. God might have raised him up, but I disagree that Trump was raised up to "save" anything. He's not here to save but to push prophecies forward. If you claim Trump has saved anything then you are NOT seeing what is taking place with spiritual, prophetic eyes!

There is an INTENSE and DEADLY fight right now for power! This political fight is incredibly dangerous. But God will have the last word. All I know is that it does not matter who wins the Presidency this election year, it will be according to God's will, plan of salvation and his prophetic timetable. And it DOES NOT matter who wins, the world is already condemned UNLESS they come to Christ! No matter who is President, Jesus Christ is still KING and Judgment is at the door!

The bible makes it very clear that God is long suffering because he does not want anybody to perish. But God has also set a date of "expiration". I believe we are nearing that date. Time is truly short. I pray you make the right decision and choose Christ. We are LOST without him!

What Color was Christ?

Shared by Gabriel Nichols:

The late Pastor E.V. Hill used to tell of a time he received a death threat from the Black Panthers because they didn't like his preaching about that "white Jesus". This was his reply: "I don't know anything about a white Christ - I know about Christ, a Savior named Jesus. I don't know what color He is. He was born in brown Asia, He fled to black Africa, and He was in heaven before the gospel got to white Europe, so I don't know what color He is. I do know one thing: if you bow at the altar with color on your mind, and get up with color on your mind, go back again - and keep going back until you no longer look at His color, but at His greatness and His power - His power to save!"

Cultural Christianity is not Christianity at all!

We have lived under a cultural Christianity for many years. Some people even say "religion is a private thing." These are people who do not read their bibles and very likely are not born again. I was raised on this phrase with a mother who attended church every week but didn't understand the nature of the gospel. Or even the cleansing powers of the Holy Spirit in someone's life.

I am sure that many of you who spend much time on the internet sharing the gospel and teaching from the Bible, hardly ever see anything on the Facebook pages of your families about God let alone a clear message explaining the gospel.

Most born again believers I know live lives apart from their extended family for this very reason, they have little to nothing in common with them.

My friends love to speak and write about the Lord but most people who say they are Christian act embarrassed to hear the name of Jesus Christ.

We would love nothing better than to be able to relate to our relatives in discussions about Christ and His Word, however we live in a world of superficial religion based on personal pleasure and aggrandizement, little attention is given to Christ.

Matthew 6:33
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

Proverbs 8:17
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me."

1 Chronicles 16:11
"Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!"

Jeremiah 29:13
"You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."

God will not play religion with people, He wants the hearts of those who say they love Him. He will not save anyone who wants only to feel safe but has no interest in Him.

Matthew 15:7-9 "…7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8‘ These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”…"

Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"

We are in the End of this Era, As in the Days of NOAH // Are You On Boar...

God is not Holding Back Judgment

If you think that God has held back judgment, I differ with that thinking. Sin is bigger than ever, chaos has increased and more believers than ever are acting like pagans.

Nothing has slowed, all sin has increased to greater degrees than we have ever seen before.

If you don't believe me just correct another "Christian" according to the Bible and watch the anger that emerges from them. Most "Christians" do not follow the Bible they claim to read and they refuse correction or rebuke defending their sin as though it did not sin.

Apostacy and cultural Christianity are bigger than ever before.

2 Timothy 4:3-5
"3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry."

The Leaders are Lying to Us do not Trust Any of Them

If you trust in politics on any level or any leader on this earth, you are going to become very disillusioned in the next election. Nothing has been what it seems.

Will you be able to stave off discouragement when you find out your favorite leader was not at all what you thought?

Noah tried to warn the people in His day and no one would listen. And, they will not listen today either.

Psalm 146:3-7
3 Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea and all that is in them;
Who keeps faith forever;
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free.

Matthew 24:37-39
37 For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be."

2 Timothy 4:3-5
"3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."

All the clues are there for those who are discerning. But those who want to believe we can win in this world have diluted themselves, focused more on saving their world than on Christ.

So many believers refuse to admit our country is under judgement. WHY? Perhaps those who look to this country and this world want things to remain as they always have been for them personally.

If we are going to be trusting in Christ we will be looking to His promises in His Word for our strength no matter what is going on in the world around us.

Isaiah 40:10
Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and His arm establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him.

Does anyone really think America deserves to be saved? Does anyone really believe God just ignores or winks at all our sin and debauchery? Does anyone have confidence that God cares more about America than He does about righteousness?

America is not mentioned in the Bible because she will no longer be a world power. Her pride has caused her to indulge in monstrous sin, even ejecting God from all venues in favor of the worship of self.

Matthew 15:7-9 "…7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8‘ These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men."

Here is the good news, no one needs the country of America, but they do need Jesus Christ. Those individuals who repent from their sin and ask to be cleansed by Christ will be saved from their sin and from hell. No country of the world will do this as an entire country except Israel during the tribulation.

Romans 11:25-27 "25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”…"

Read the Word and Ask the Holy Spirit for Wisdom to Know Who is God!

The Hearts of the People in our World Today

The Problem with “Christian” Celebrities...

Do You Read the Bible and Pray for Wisdom?

The same Christians who listen to foolish false prophets will not pick up their Bibles to seek God through His Word.

If they did they would be able to discern between truth and error!!!

Holy Days of Obligation

When I was a Catholic we practiced what was called; "holy days of obligation." These were days the Catholic church said we must attend or be in danger of mortal sin. There was no sense of deep abiding love in the days of obligation.

How would you feel if someone came to visit you and began reciting a special saying, every time the same saying over and over again?

Did you know protestants and other evangelicals practice this same mentality and don't even know they do?

Many evangelicals and other Christians have their designated time of worship, usually in a gathering on Sunday. They feel insecure if they fail to get to one of these meetings on the designated days. I have even heard a preacher say; "for those who cannot worship because of this lockdown", as though the only "place" a person can worship is with a designated pastor at a designated building. This just tells us that Christians do not have an understanding of worship, it doesn't have to be in a special building nor with certain people.

Romans 14:5-6, “One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.”

Did you know that families practice this same mentality when it comes to holidays? Many people feel strange if they don't do the holidays that everyone else is doing. Not because they are mandated by God but because they are familiar and a big part of their tradition.

Colossians 2:8
"See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ."

There are many adult children who make sure to remember their parent's birthdays, as well as fathers' and mothers' days but, have no honor or respect for them. They do not value their wisdom, the children elevate themselves as superior over the one who bore and raised them, as though now the parent has no value in their lives.

How do we know whether there is honor or respect for parents, it quite simple, the children value and enjoy their parents all year long without a special day to do it. When we are treated with kindness, difference, empathy and appreciation that is honoring to the parent. When someone visits us out of obligation we feel it would be better not to visit at all than to be treated like a project one must finish but has no interest in. This is how God feels when we treat worship as a time to "get it over with" so that we can get on with things they really like to do.

A child who honors their parents enjoys listening to their wisdom, even seeking them out to hear their thoughts. The child who loves their parent spends time with them because they enjoy them.

To argue with parents, demean their ideas and their choices that are not sin is to devalue them is dishonoring.

The holidays today smack of the Catholic "holy days of obligation" in which people gratify themselves by doing things that enhance their own experience. It has little to do with the person for whom they are doing them. The self-righteous and superior person avoids the guilt placed on them by the culture if they were to do nothing.

All of these festive days for father's and mother's and other holidays (holy-days) were created by man in modern times, leaving a burden on those who enjoy and value their parents but have not been indoctrinated to believe these things must be done.

All the man-made holidays are a distraction from God as well as a burden to those who do not see the value in them.

A good test of this is to ask someone who practices these special days to do them on a different day from everyone else and don't call it by its cultural designated name. Most would not be able to do this, they need to be counted among the others as being a part of something.

Many are so indoctrinated into these holidays that people feel guilty if they neglect them. They even worry that someone will be offended if they forget or don't have time. Even if they show value to the parent throughout the week they sense pressure to do this one thing on this one day.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear our children say; "I am no longer going to send you a mother's day card, instead I am going to honor and value you every day of the year." Perhaps they would say; "I want to know your thoughts", or "what do you think about this or that."

There are many days of obligation in our culture that have no other purpose than meaningless ritual causing the doer of them to feel good about themselves but have no love.

Matthew 24:12 "12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold."

2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."

Verse 5 says it all: "holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power."

God wants our honor, respect, and obedience every day of our lives, not one day a week or on special man-made holidays.

Think about it!!!!

Assigning to Devils What Only God can do!

Why do I have such a big problem with the idea of the Nephilim are a product of devils mating with humans?

Here is the reason, to say that a devil can spiritually impregnate a human is to say they can do the same thing God did when He placed Jesus Christ in the womb. This is blatant and demonically inspired heresy. It is designed to take the glory of the conception of Christ in Mary away from God.

To assign the same creative attributes of God to devils is the worst kind of blasphemy.

I don't hear others saying this and I can't figure out why!
We are living in the last days of apostasy, many strange teachings are arising. They sound good but at close inspection, they are adding to and taking away from the Word of God to be able to make them work.

Ephesians 4:17
"This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,"

Many believers are reading secular writings incorporating them into their thinking as though they are true. We live in a culture of fantasy, in which people believe as long as they think it in their mind it must be true. The belief that devils impregnated women comes from a heretical book called; "The book of Enoch."

There is no indication that this book was written by the prophet. Enoch was probably a popular name in its day, just as the names Joseph and Moses and Jesus were common human names in those days.

Deuteronomy 12:8 "“You shall not do at all what we are doing here today, every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes;"

We are living in a culture that has taught for 60 years that all our thoughts have value, that we can be like god, if it comes to mind it must be true.

1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,"

In these last days, we must question all things we hear. We must seek God to be able to have discernment when false teachings pass in front of us.

The Believers Marching Orders

We are living in a narcissistic country among narcissistic people.

Everything the narcissist hears or sees is interpreted in terms of how they wish to hear or see it not what has actually been said or done.

If someone in our culture doesn't like what you are saying they will accuse you of the WAY you said it while completely ignoring the message. This is a deflection to distract from the real problem.


If the narcissist can accuse you of something then they don't have to take responsibility for their own mess.

In the narcissist's mind if you have a flaw then you are all bad, therefore they don't have to listen to anything you say. So the tactic is to accuse the delivery while ignoring the real issue.

We see this demonstrated on steroids in our culture right now with the riots. Violent people who are creating anarchist communities while building walls around them have been the ones angry that a president would want to build a wall. They accuse law-abiding citizens of being evil in making rules to protect others while they loot, rape and murder within their own walled communities.

Narcissists are liars because their father is the devil, the father of lies.

John 8:44
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

Once we realize what we are dealing with, that is devils causing illusions in the minds of people who have no defence against him, we can fight with the weapons God has given us.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 "…3 For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. 4 The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.…"

The two most important things in these last days is to speak the truth of the gospel to unbelievers and to keep ourselves from being tainted by the world.

Romans 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."

Colossians 3:2
"Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth."

Matthew 28:19-20
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

A Narcissist's Shallow Problem Solving Skills

Christ Speaks to Every Born Again Believer

I am growing weary of these "dreams and visions" people are claiming to have.

I never pay attention to the dreams and visions of others. If God wants me to know something HE tells me because He lives in me. Why would He send someone else to tell me something that He could tell me Himself?

There is only one mediator between God and man and that is Christ Jesus and He lives in every born again believer.

Never tell me you have a word from the Lord for me, I would tell you that is silly since Christ lives in me. He tells me what He wants me to know.

1 Timothy 2:5-6 "5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.…"

In the times of the prophets of the old testament, the Holy Spirit didn't yet live in people. He came and went in the prophets as God spoke through them.

Now the Holy Spirit lives in every born again believer, Christ in us speaks directly to us. Listen only to the Holy Spirit and you will not go wrong.

Obedience Even in Turmoil

When we obey God even in times of turmoil we know we can trust Him. He will always give us the next step right on time.

Hallelujah!!!!

Noah Lived it, Lot Lived it and We are Living it Now

Some thoughts I shared with a brother in a discussion about what is happening all around us. Your thoughts would be interesting on this matter.

God promised these things would happen in the end times. We are just shocked because we have never seen this in our lifetimes. Now we are living in prophesy just as Noah lived through the flood and Lot the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We are there, but find it hard to accept because it is new to us.

I am convinced we are going to see the complete downfall of America and soon. I don't feel anything about it because I am not a citizen of this world. I do worry about those who are not yet saved. Will they trust in Christ because of it or become bitter even accepting an antichrist who uses fancy words to deceive them into aligning themselves as his followers?

I am also convinced the next wave of hardship will be worse than this last lockdown. It was sort of baby steps in controlling the people, the next thing will be more severe.

What should be a Christian's response to all that is happening? I think it is clear that we are not to fear it but to realize that God told us all about it through His Word, the Bible.

I don't believe Noah rang his hands in fear and frustration over what he knew was coming. He obeyed God, kept on preaching, and building the ark until God shut him and his family in for the long year ahead while floating on the top of the waters.

God told Noah to build the ark, He told him when to gather the animals, he told him when to go into the ark and when he and his family were safely inside GOD shut the door.

When we obey God even in times of turmoil we know we can trust Him. He will always give us the next step right on time.

Hallelujah!!!!

I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!! by Joe Kelly

I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!! by Joe Kelly

I have never seen such vile hatred for true born again believers that stand against sin and wickedness like I'm seeing right now. And it's not just the gay crowd either. It's actually coming from "so-called CHRISTIANS!"

The church has done this to ourselves, with the modern gospel of tolerance and God is ALL about love perversion. (Yes God is Love, but He's HOLY TOO!) We have taught the wicked that no matter what you do, God is ALL forgiving and just turns His head and smiles. I cannot tell you how many times people have told me that "God loves them just as they are, I don't have to change!" Oh really?

And it seems that the word REPENTANCE is getting its share of ridicule. I was told recently, we don't need to REPENT anymore. This is a different dispensation. WHAT??? We have so confused the glorious gospel, that even most PASTORS can't even tell you what it is anymore!

We have got to get back to talking much about SIN, REPENTANCE, THE CROSS, DYING TO SELF AND SIN, HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, PERSECUTION AND GODLINESS. AND SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD! We have moved the gospel to a one-sentence prayer and everybody is good!

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE ARE SEEING CARNAL FALSE CHRISTIANS CELEBRATING SIN! THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD THE GOSPEL!!! WE NEED TO GET BACK TO PREACHING THE OLD RUGGED CROSS. NOT FOR YOU JUST TO KNEEL IN FRONT OF IT. BUT FOR YOU TO GO THROUGH IT AND DIE! DIE TO SELF. DIE TO SIN!

WHERE ARE THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL??? PREACHER! COME OUT OF THE CLOSET AND BRING SOME RIGHTEOUS FIRE WITH YOU!!! I'm TIRED OF HEARING WARMED OVER INTERNET SERMONS! I WANT SOME GET IT OUT OF THE CLOSET OF PRAYER SERMONS!!! ONES THAT ARE BURNING IN YOUR BONES KIND OF SERMONS!!!

WHERE ARE THE PREACHERS OF OLD THAT WOULD STAND AND PREACH ON HELL??? THE WAY WE ACT IN THE AVERAGE CHURCH, HELL HAS CLOSED ITS DOORS AND WENT OUT OF BUSINESS! THE ONLY TIME YOU HEAR ABOUT HELL NOW IS WHEN A WICKED CARNAL CHURCH GOER GETS OUTSIDE THE CHURCH DOOR AND CUSSES! LORD GOD, MOVE ON SOME MEN OF GOD ONE MORE TIME!!! THE CHURCH NEEDS IT MORE THAN EVER!!!

Joe Kelly!....

God Puts in and Takes Out Leaders

No matter what happens in the next election it will be God's doing!

Romans 13:4
"For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer."

Even a wicked leader was placed by God to punish a country in times past, he does the same thing today.

America is wicked and unrepentant, even believers are attempting to get back something they think they lost. It will not come back because as a nation America has not repented.

Also, let us remember that America is not mentioned in the bible. We have been a world power but that is coming to an end right before the antichrist is revealed.

Proverbs 25:26 "A righteous man who falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well."

Christians in this country have given into the ways of the wicked without even realizing it. The church as a whole has become apostate desiring prosperity and freedom above righteousness.

Most people I know who claim to be Christians twist more of the Bible to fit their own desires than they believe and obey as God wrote it.

"Out of context" plucking is not only common but continual among most.

Matthew 15:7-9 "…7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8‘ These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”…"

2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts."

Brothers and Sisters, you are probably experiencing a lot of rejection, perhaps in covert and mild terms, but nonetheless, a sense that you are not accepted and even avoided. This is because you desire to stay to the true meaning of the Bible in every way.

Our culture only loves people who say what they like to hear. This is the way it will be until Christ comes to remove His church.

Then many people remaining after the rapture will trust in the antichrist who will schmooze them with the language they love to hear while claiming to be Christ. These people will defend this devil while even turning in their own family and friends who do not follow him.

The characteristics below are from: — Adapted from whatchristianswanttoknow.com HARVEST BIBLE CHAPEL | SEPT 15-16, 2017

10 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ANTI-CHRIST there are more than ten… these are the most obvious.

1) He Claims to be God and is Worshiped
“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness
is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God“ (2 Thes 2:3-4).

2) He Will Blaspheme God
Revelation 13:6 says, “And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His
tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.”

3) He Will Display Miraculous Powers
Revelation 13:13 as he “performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven, to the earth in full view of
the people.”

4) The Anti-Christ Comes Back to Life
“ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived“ (Rev 13:14). What
a feat that will cause many to be motivated by the sight of this “fatal wound [that] had been healed“; so much so that
many will worship him (Rev 13:12).

5) The Anti-Christ Rules in Full Authority
For three and a half years he “was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation“ (Rev 13:5,7).

6) The Anti-Christ Will Control the World’s Economy
“forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their
foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its
name“ (Rev 13:16-17).

7) The Anti-Christ Desecrates God’s Temple
Jesus: “Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy
place’ (whoever reads, let him understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains Let him who is on the
housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not to back to get his clothes.
“But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not
be in winter or on the Sabbath, For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the
the world until this time, no nor ever shall be“ (Matt 24:15-21).

8) The Anti-Christ’s Attempted Destruction of Israel
Satan and all of those under his rule have always sought the destruction of the Jews. The end times see this brought to
fruition. In Daniel 11:40-41 says, “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the
north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter
into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. He shall enter also into the glorious land [Jerusalem], and many
[countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, [even] Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the
children of Ammon.” This happens after another treaty is broken. At first, he promises to help be Jerusalem’s savior but
he, as always, is a liar and the truth is not in him (Dan 9:27). He breaks one treaty after another and makes one promise
after another, breaking them all. It is obvious that his power comes from the father of lies, the Devil.

9) Causes Earth’s Armies to Fight Against Christ
“saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse
and his army“ (Rev 19:19).

10) Final Destiny in Lake of Fire
“And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the
horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his
presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These
two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.”

An Armor Bearer Out of Context!

A question was possed to me this morning, "what is an armor bearer, and should a pastor be telling a person in his congregation they are 'their armor-bearer'?"

Here is the definition of "armor bearer":

"One who carried the large shield and perhaps other weapons for a king (1 Samuel 31:4), commander-in-chief (2 Samuel 23:37), captain (1 Samuel 14:7) or champion (1 Samuel 17:7). All warriors of distinction had such an attendant.

Rather than perish by the hand of a woman, Abimelech called upon his armor-bearer to give him the finishing stroke (Judges 9:54), and when King Saul's armor-bearer refused to do this office for him that he might not become the prisoner of the Philistines, he took a sword himself and fell upon it (1 Samuel 31:4).

David became Saul's armor-bearer for a time, and Jonathan's armor-bearer was a man of resource and courage (1 Samuel 14:7). The shield-bearer was a figure well known in the chariots of Egypt and Assyria and the Hittites, his business being to protect his fighting companion during the engagement.

O.K. Here is my take on this matter of a pastor calling a person in their congregation "their armor-bearer." Armer bearers were people who did the bidding, toting, and carrying of the armor for prominent people, for the commander of the army. There is no mention of such a person within the Christian church.

First the leaders of the church are elders and they are not commanders of a real army or have need of someone who carries weapons.

When I hear a pastor speaking these kinds of words to one person in his congregation I get the impression that the pastor wants absolute power over the person to do his bidding.

This is frightening because the pastor is counting on one person to uphold him and be for him whatever he wants. This is not Biblical, it is a pastor misusing his power to control someone.

God calls for leaders in the church to depend on Christ, not on any particular congregant.

The issue here really is the false "one man pastor" system that perverts the model of the commands of Christ for the gathering of the believers.

God told each gathering to appoint elders, several men who would lead. They led by preaching and example, but they were not the ultimate authority over the gathering. Everyone in the gathering was to be led by the Holy Spirit.

The modern meaning of "pastor" has been perverted to mean "lording it over" those they consider to be under them. This is not Biblical and leads to perversions within leadership.

Matthew 20:25-26 "25 But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,…"

Matthew 20:27-28
27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Acts 14:22-23 "…22 strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed. "

"Pastoring" is a gift and a calling it is not a title or a position. There are several pastors called for in every gathering, no one of them has power over the others or over the congregation. They are teachers, preachers, and examples to the flock, not kings or priests dictating to the congregation. They make decisions together prayerfully seeking God for their decisions.

When a "pastor" acts like "the authority" over the members of a congregation, even expecting to be served by them, this pastor is abusing his calling.

There is NO model of an "armor bearer" in the new testament church. This term had to do with a man who did the bidding of the commander in an army carrying out orders by that commander. The armor-bearer provided the armor while helping to carry the weapons for the commander.

If a pastor users this term in reference to a person in the congregation he is using it out of context while spiritualizing a term that was meant for battle in the Old Testament.

There is no such person in the context of the church. No one carries weapons for others. Everyone must gain their power from the Holy Spirit. If anyone is depending on someone else to prop them up then they are not depending on the Holy Spirit.

Armor bearers who carry weapons for a commander do not exist in the church. This concept is not only grossly out of context it is the misuse of God's Word.

2 Timothy 2:15
"15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth."

When a leader takes scripture out of context as a means of exerting power over others or even to flatter them, they are abusing the Word and the person to whom they are speaking. We are free to reject the pressure as well as decline the expectations of a power monger.

There are many people now who take scripture out fo context to make it say what they want, but leads to a wrong and even sinful conclusion.

Never allow one of these scripture twisters to tell you what you must do. Christ will tell us what He wants and it will never be out of context with the truth of the Bible.

Judgement Day

Repentance First

Evidence it More Valuable than Words

It is more valuable to watch a person's life than to listen to their verbiage. I do this with politicians all the time. I see the nuances of their life, their body language and their facial expressions.

Its amazing what one can see when we have discernment.

Just believing what someone tells us without any other proof of their words is foolish. Many people are saying lots of things about their own lives that have no evidence in reality.

Narcissists have elevated views of their own abilities that are not warranted.

1 John 4:1-6
Testing the Spirits
4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this, you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses (by their life) that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. 4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

The word "confess" here is more than words, its lifestyle. Just as the word "conversation" is used to describe a woman's life, not what she says but how she lives.

1 Peter 3:1 "Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the wives,"

The word "conversation" is the old English meaning "lifestyle."

Sadly I see so many people willing to believe whatever a preacher, politician or authority tells them without any evidence as to its credibility.

In our day "feelings are facts" and "words alone" are true. This is utter foolishness. We must examine the evidence to know the whole truth. We listen to words long enough to go and evaluate the evidence.

Believers are not Sinners Saved by Grace, God calls us Saints!

There is a debate going around about the term, "sinners saved by grace", this phrase is not found in the scriptures.

Paul referred to the people in the churches he wrote to as "saints."

I was once Catholic, the church taught that it was arrogant to call ourselves saints, they were only supposed to be declared so by the Catholic church. This practice was arrogance, allowing mere men to declare who is a saint and who is not. The Bible tells us who are saints, they are those who are born again through faith in Christ. We can call ourselves saints not because we are good but because Christ Who saved us is Good. He calls all born again believers saints.

Revelation 14:12
"Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus."

Psalm 30:4
"Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name."

1 Corinthians 14:33
"For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,"

Romans 6
Believers Are Dead to Sin, Alive to God
6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin.

Romans 6:17-20 "17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed,
18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification."
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

Pauls letters begin like this:

To the saints at Colossi
To the saints at Ephesus
To the saints at Corinth
To the saints at Rome: Romans 1:7
To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nowhere does God refer to born again believers as sinners.

Do Not Mourn the Past

To continue to morn those old forgiven sins is like believing God never forgave them. It is the devil who wants to constantly remind us of our failures. The best thing to do is remind the devil and our weak flesh that God forgave and covered those past forgiven sins.

2 Corinthians 5:16-18 "…16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:…"

Remember to remove from your lives all those people who would like to keep you mourning past sins that God did away with long ago.

Those who love to remind us of past sins have not been forgiven of theirs or they would never accuse anyone else of the past.

Born again believers know what they used to be and rejoice that they have been changed into a new creation by Christ. They have no interest in keeping others stuck in the past who have also been changed by Christ.

The devil is the accuser of the brethren, he is full of pride and hell-bent on ruining the witness of the believers!

Revelation 12:10
"10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God."

Do not allow others to accuse you of what is done and gone. Simply answer with "yes I was dead in my sins Christ saved me and am now cleansed from them, you can have this too."

The End is Near!

We are living in the end times now. We cannot stop what is happening and we are not a part of it. We are missionaries in a foreign land, that is earth, and we are to bring the gospel. Nothing that happens here changes our mission.

2 Timothy 3:1-5
"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."

Matthew 24:36
“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."

Luke 21:36
"But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Matthew 24:44
"Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

Ephesians 6:12
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

Should a Christian Protest, was the Question

We have a right to protest in our country but that does not mean that we should do so. We have no examples in the Bible of protesting against the government as we do in our day. There were no elections either except in modern times.

To answer your question Annie, I don't know if there is any Biblcial prohibition against "redress of grievances" with citizens against a government as we have had for most of the life of our country.

I know we are in the end times in which most things are going to be "ragingly insane", to think we can run around continually putting out brush fires only to have another one rise up, suggests to me that our mission is the gospel in a time when people need Christ more than they need the freedom to do as they please.

We could waste a lot of time marching and screening for our rights while missing our opportunity to bring the gospel to the lost right before the rapture.

My husband and I were involved in protests against Pornography and abortion back in the '70s. We were very busy attempting to put out the fires that were rising up here and there. Back then there were far fewer fires than there are now. We believed we were a basically "Christian" nation and could win some battles against evil.

The fact was that we were new believers and thought we could make a difference. What we found out was that the only real difference we could make was in the lives of individuals if they responded to the gospel. Then new believers would be changed, they would no longer walk lawlessly.

Even if we could change a law here or there and the people followed them, they would still go to hell if they did not trust in Christ.

It wasn't until we became more mature in our walk that we realized our mission as believers was to bring the gospel to the unsaved.

The short answer is that I see no mandate in the scriptures to protest and I see no mandate to not protest when the right exists. My thrust is to bring the gospel rather than putting out brush fires continually without any time left over to bring the gospel.

Protecting the Preborn Babies

Emancipation Proclamation
"The fact or process of being set free from legal, social, or political restrictions; liberation."

This could be done for the unborn just as it was done for slaves.

Sadly no political leader in our day would have the guts to do this because abortion is a political hot potato!

If You Haven't Changed You Don't Have the Holy Spirit

Every born again believer is able to say, "I am not what I used to be." Anyone who cannot say that, those who believe they have not changed in all their years, cannot be born again.

No one who is born again remains the same, they are growing and changing all the time as Christ in them is cleansing them daily.

Hallelujah!!!

We Cannot Change Another Person

(((( Susan Davis )))) says this:

" I want to talk about "Religious Spirits," you see we don't fight flesh and blood. Evil spirits can totally consume someone so that they are possessing and controlling someone.

Religious spirits work through people who call themselves "Christian" and even do a lot of Christian-looking things: go to church; run churches; run Christian organizations; write Christian books--but WATCH OUT, these Religious Spirits can turn on you like a wolf in sheep's clothing in no time flat.


They put you down with a smile and cut you to the quick with a glint in their eye...you are dealing with a demon. Now don't get all bent: there is no point in trying to tangle with them, you are debating a demon if you engage them, so don't bother: JESUS SAID: SHAKE THE DUST OFF YOUR FEET. HE also said not to even bring them into your home or wish them Godspeed or you enter into their same iniquity because they have demons.

The churches and the entire Christian community is like a minefield of "Religious Spirits" and ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT can help you navigate this minefield.

Pray for the HOLY SPIRIT to guide you to ALL truth--to recognize the "Pharisees," the "Jezebels," the "False Prophets," the "False teachers," "False doctrines," "Wolves in sheep's clothes," and the "Hirelings."

Once you spot someone with the Religious Spirit--you are going to know it because they are mean-spirited, cruel, antagonistic, and they will make you question your faith--but don't let them.

Pray for them, YES, to be delivered from their evil spirits, but BLOCK them and be "SET APART" from them. It is NOT your job to "turn them around." Only GOD can change a heart. They have been sent from the evil one, to torment you. TORMENT IS NOT OF GOD--let me repeat this--TORMENT IS NOT OF GOD....so be on guard, and pray for discernment."

Facing Problems is a Good Thing It Brings Solutions

Aren't the Lives of Human Babies More Important than Statues?

I am confused, President Trump just signed an executive order to protect historic statues, if he can sign an executive order about statues why can he not sign one to stop abortion? Aren't human lives more important than statues?

Just Saying!!!!!

Slap-Happy Positive People are no Help

This is so true!!! This kind of "positive" attitude never has a solution to anything. We need solutions not slap-happy-smiles.

Facing truth no matter how hard it is to do is the way we can resolve problems. We wouldn't want a doctor to slap us on the back and tell jokes to our face without revealing that we have a disease. We would want the true so we can have the cure.


"I couldn't put my finger on my interactions and observations and now I know what to call it. ---The turning a blind eye to blatant problems. Saying "we don't tolerate any 'negative' comments, just be the light ". This shuts the truth-tellers down. this approach brushes things under the rug. Toxic positivity is the refusal to accept the hard aspects of truth because its uncomfortable. I appreciate this description. Via Kristi Suber"
