Holocaust Survivors!

Almost our entire married life. We were active in the pro-life movement from the onset in 1973. As we got older we dialed back because of health, moving and other things, but we still vote and have attended some ralleys. Now its time for the younger survivors to take up the mantle as we become to old to carry on as we once did.

The Way of the Apostate Church

Agreed!!!! Man always thinks they have a better way than God gave. They only tend to violate more of God's principles than they obey with their traditions.

Mark 7:13-14 "13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.” 14 Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:…"

ples, temples or build podiums and have chairs and pews. IT'S NOT WRITTEN. MANY ARE THE FOCUS OF MEN ON MAN MADE THINGS. AND THIS IS NOT THE ASSIGNMENT OF YAH , NOT HIS INSTRUCTIONS ( BUT MAN'S) AND HIS FOCUS IS NOT THE KINGDOM OF YAH BUT A KINGDOM ON EARTH = IDOLATRY -- HE SAYS IN 1 COR. 6 , COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM -- REPENT-- CHANGE YOUR WAYS , MINDS, AND THOUGHT --TURN TO YAHUSHA AND SEEK HIS KINGDOM FIRST

We Want to Help But They Love their Worldliness

7 Promises From God

Revelation 9:1-12 The Devils of the Tribulation are Unleased

9 Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him.

2 He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit.

3 Then out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

5 And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man.

6 And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them.

7 The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.

8 They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle.

10 They have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men for five months.

11 They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon.

12 The first woe is past; behold, two woes are still coming after these things.

When the locusts are released in the end times they very likely could be devils who have been given permission by God to torment the people of the earth. I would be interested in thoughts about this from others. Please use Scripture!




Facebook the Believers Blessing

When I began facebook I expected to be treated the way my family treated me. That is to be ignored, mocked and rejected continually. However, I promised God that I would continue anyway even if no one payed attention or validated me. BECAUSE He was the One Who was telling me to do it, it didn't matter whether anyone would like it. He said "use it for Me."

Then something happened that I did not expect! People began liking and requesting friendship, it was a shock to me. Well, having been treated as I was all of my life by family I expected over time eventually these people would dislike me too.

The shock was that those who have requested friendships with me chose me because they were like minded with me. They enjoyed hearing Biblical principles and scriptures as much as I do. These people have been a great blessing to me.

God allowed the medium of facebook for believers who were like minded to connect during these end times when so many are alone without support for their walk with Christ.

I have many brothers and sisters now that I have never met but value as much as if we had met them.

Having been mocked for being on facebook by "Christians" or those I might call pretenders, I realize that they do not know even remotely what we do here. Because they have no inclination to connect with born again believers who are on fire for the Lord, they think our friends are not real friends. Most people are using their facebook to boast about their lives, even though they only present the "good" things as though they live in a utopia in their own minds. Impressing people is more important to them than speaking about Christ.

I expect to see my born again facebook friends at the marriage supper of the Lamb soon. They are my forever family, who bless me as I am allowed to freely share my heart about the things of the Lord. We do not always completely agree but we love one another, accept one another as our conversation is around Christ. There is a love and respect that we do not see in our families or the communities in which we live. It blesses me greatly. I praise the Lord for all my brothers and sisters who are authentically born again and moving forward in their walk all the time.

Proverbs 18:24
"24 A man of too many friends comes to [a]ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."

Proverbs 13:20
"20 He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will suffer harm."

John 15:13
"13 Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends."

Proverbs 27:17
"17 Iron sharpens iron,
So one man sharpens another."

Ecclesiastes 4:12
"12 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."

Hallelujah!!!!

God's People Do Not Defend Sin

A born again child of God never defends sin, they are ashamed when confronted with it. Many prideful pretenders today have no shame, justifying their sinful attitudes and actions, even becoming enraged and vengeful when they are told their need to repent.

So many people today will sin against others having no conscience over their actions expecting to return to the one they harmed and resume as though nothing ever happened. When they are told what they have done they become angry, gossip and vengeful against the one they harmed as though the victim is responsible to resume the relationship.

This mentality is called the "sweet mean cycle" used by those who are not sorry for their actions but want to resume the relationship. This cycle is one in which the one who sins continually harms someone, comes back as though nothing happened never confessing their sin, not even sorry for what they did. In fact if confronted with what they did they lash out for further abuse.

Our relationships must be based on love and truth. When someone operates from lack of remorse and continual disrespect then it is time to exit leaving them to God.
Loving someone from afar can be much more valuable than remaining to be on an emotional roller coaster ride in which we never know what the next harmful thing will happen and are unable to believe the kindness that is phony. Without confession of sin there is no evidence that anything will change permanently in the way we are treated.

Matthew 18: 15=18 “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
18 Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."

In our day this is an impossible task because there are no churches to turn to who will support the victims. Church discipline is not only rare it is discouraged by most churches. The "just love them in their sin" mantra is in the mouths of most church goers and leaders today.

Sin grows because it is not dealt with and victims are left alone, often even discouraged or mistreated for their desire to handle things Biblically through church discipline.

Those who practice the sweet/mean cycle can never be trusted, since there is no indication of sorrow over their deeds.

It has been my experience that the born again believer hates ever hurting anyone. They take a lot from rude people and rarely return rudeness in defense of themselves. If they do on rare occasion slip and return anger they feel terrible about it and will apologize to correct it. The narcissist never apologizes, is never genuinely sorry and continues the same path of the cycle they have always done.

1 John 3:8-10 "…8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.…'

I know several if not lots of people who do harm to others, if only in the form of gossip against them who feel justified and without remorse for their mean spirited machinations. Often they concoct an idea of the one for whom they have contempt and say it so often they actually begin to believe their own lies. Then they pass these lies onto others for support.

A born again believer hates gossip, they hate contention, mocking and demeaning, they do not do it to anyone because the Holy Spirit in them would immediately convict them of their sin.

Sometimes the narcissist will not like that we have withdrawn so they will enter the sweet cycle to stave off any bad feelings about themselves while fooling their target that they still like them. But it is calculated, temporary and will be repeated only as needed to draw the target back into to be further abused.

Proverbs 22:24-25 "24 Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man, 25 or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.…'

We love everyone even those who abuse us, but it is foolish to become constant companions with them when there is no sincere confession of sin in the relationship. We can love everyone, but we must love the narcissist from afar through prayer.

It has been my experience that remaining in company with those who are bent on taring you down will not cause them to repent, it only further enables them. God must deal with them his way without you.

Isaiah 26:10 "10 Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD. "

God said to pray for those who persecute you. If you have to be in their presence show them kindness but if you do not have to be around them it is wise and prudent to avoid them if possible.

Titus 3:9-11 "9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless. 10 Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition, 11 knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.…"

God never expected us to accept all people as our friends who cross our paths. We are to be wise in the choice of our constant companions. We are stronger when we have companions who love God and follow His principles. These are our support system and we are theirs.

Proverbs 13:19-20 "…19 Desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but turning from evil is detestable to fools. 20 He who walks with the wise will become wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed. "



Defying God is Evidence of No Salvation

I am convinced that those who are divorced and remarried without conscience over it have never been born again. If they had been born again they would be convicted by the Holy Spirit and stop the sinning.

1 John 3:8-10 "…8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.…"

Anyone who becomes angry when we tell them they are in sin are not born of God. A child of God indwelt by Christ does not become angry they become ashamed and eventually confess to be cleansed. 1 John 1:9 was written to the church it comes with a promise.

1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
As I sought God for truth on the matter of divorce and remarriage God presented a book to me by Joseph Webb many years ago. I disagree than a born again believer can lose their salvation over any sin, however, many people who refuse to repent were never born again. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin. No born again child of God defends their sin, rather they are ashamed of it.
