Turn to Christ Before its too Late

There are those who think we can turn this country around and thwart the globalist agenda. No one can stop it, this has been prophesied by God in the Bible. All the signs are converging, all are appearing.
What we can and must do is speak about the Lord to the lost when led by the Holy Spirit and uplift the believers with the truth every chance we get.
There will be only a few now who will trust in Christ because we are in the end times of apostasy. And, sadly many people who think they are going to heaven will be led astray into the antichrist system. I don't mean the technology, There will not be huge revivals of authentic Christianity.
The system of paganism based on false gods with the antichrist claiming to be the christ will be the new religion of many. The false religions of the world are coming together to form one religion dedicated to the antichrist who will rule the world for seven years with such fierce anger that everyone will suffer.
In the first three and a half years Israel will be in peace but the world as a whole will be in continual devastation by natural disasters and plagues such as the world has never seen before. When the antichrist breaks the treaty with Israel his wrath will begin with rage no one can imagine.
There will be stinging locusts worse than anyone can imagine.
Revelation 9:7 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 human faces.
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 people 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."
These are devils led by Apollyon the destroyer, angel of the bottomless pit, to torment the people with misery.
There is a terrible time coming for those who have not trusted Christ. Now is the time to ask God Who He is and Who is Christ. Then turn your heart to Christ to be saved from hell and from the terrible trouble coming on the earth after God takes out His people, the born again believers. You can be with us when we go, all you have to do is confess your sinfulness to God and ask Christ to change you into a new creation.
1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

It Matters What You Do According to the Word of God

Have you ever heard a person tell you it's not a big deal when we use rituals that are not in the Bible or disobey Him to glorify Him, as long as we assign Christian meanings to them?
I have heard this a lot: "it doesn't mean that to me, I have my own reason for doing it, to glorify God."
Might I remind believers about the man who steadied the Ark of the covenant? Do you remember what happened to him?
Uzzah the man who steadied the Ark
1 Chronicles 13:9–12
"9 And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark, and he died there before God."
Uzzah could have used the same excuses today for disobeying God's commands. He didn't believe God could take care of His own Ark. Uzzah thought with his own mind instead of obeying God. It is likely that Uzzah thought he was going to help God in his disobedience.
It matters that we seek God to obey His way instead of making up our own plans because we like them.
Those who began the one-man-pastor system thought they were helping God when they devised their own plans to develop schools to educate young men for the ministry. But there are no commands in the Bible to do this, it was concocted by men who thought they knew a better way than God gave in His Word.
Here is what man's ways produced: arrogant and rigid pastors who thought they knew more than others who were led by the Holy Spirit.
It caused a division between pew people and pulpit people, allowing the pew people to become lazy at Bible reading and prayer because they now have a paid pastor doing it for them.
Many people leaned on the paid pastor to be their spiritual guide i for them through rituals and songs chosen by the pastor. God made it clear that we were to lean on no one exept the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:14
"be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God."
John 14:26
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you."
Galatians 5:16
"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."

Beware of Anything New

Beware of any new Jesus movies, any new promotion of revival and any new discovery not mentioned in the bible. we are living in the last days full of very very clever deception.
Most things are appealing to feelings and desires rather than truth from the Bible. The more emotional something makes you feel probable the less it is of God.
God wants us to reason with our minds. Sometimes there will be emotion involved in the joy we feel as we reason, but there will never be that joy without reasoning. When feelings are the only reason to like something then we need to back up and begin to ask; "is this of God or am I allowing my feelings to drive me."
Defining Reason: "a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event."
1 John 2:15-17 "15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world— the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life— is not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever."
We can expect movies, concerts, and false Christian events to come fast and furiously now as the end of the age approaches. The antichrist is preparing people to become emotionally out of control, living almost entirely on following their feelings without thinking. Our generation is more invested in how they feel than what they believe and why. Our generation likes to do the fun easy thing rather than have to be set apart.
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."
In fact, many people become angry when we challenge them to think about what they are doing, the mind cannot wrap around anything but "feelings."
When we challenge them in a kind and friendly manner they accuse us of things to intimidate us into silence or to make us feel ashamed of messing with their happiness. These are typical ploys used regularly now as "Christians" resist obeying Christ.
I have had people say to me; "you have ruined our fun." I ruined their happiness by questioning why they were doing what they do, not in a snarky way but in a friendly way. Many cannot tolerate questions about what they do because they are dedicated to their temporary happiness rather than Christ.
Mildly raging at us for our desire to obey Christ and expecting others who say they are believers to do the same, is the new normal. Laughing at us and calling us names is common now toward those who love the Word of God and speak it.
Proverbs 29:9-10 " 9 If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution. 10 Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.…"
What do we do about this? Here is the answer: keep speaking truth as led by the Holy Spirit, keep reading the Word and obeying it and keep looking up, we are going home soon. Hallelujah!!!!

Complete the Ring in Prayer is Cultic

Did you know something that all occultists know, that "complete the ring" is required to call the spirits of dead people into the room during a seance?
Have you ever asked the question why some Christians hold hands in ring fashion around the table when they are saying the blessing?
I began to question this practice as I do all practices with the desire to know where they originate and whether or not they are Biblical or have value. Did God institute this practice of hand-holding or was it incorporated from paganism?
The devil seems to love making up rituals that detract Christians from worshiping Christ in Spirit and in truth. The best way to distract a person from Christ is to give them a ritual that makes them focus on the fuzzy feelings of the ritual instead of on Christ. The more emotionally happy a ritual is the more people tend to want to keep it. Letting go of it makes them feel as though they are doing something wrong. They will even judge others who don't do those rituals.
Next time someone says, "let's join hands in prayer", simply quietly and humbly decline to do it and watch what happens. Some of the people in the group will think badly of you for not participating in the ritual.
If we are not thinking and we are just doing rituals we are A-musing" meaning not to think. This is what amusement is about, watching something without thinking has a more brainwashing effect than when we have to think.
Hollywood has promoted for years the hand-holding at the table when the families pray and notice those families are usually Catholic.
Christians rarely ask why we do certain things because those things seem so warm and fuzzy. My concern is that the Christian community is often emulating the occult when they do rituals or practices that have no basis in Scripture. They don't know what they are doing, but that's the sad thing, why are they not asking the question; "why do we do this."
When we analyze all the rituals Christians have adopted in the church it is astounding how many come from paganism and cultic sources.
What do Christians think is happening when they hold hands to pray? Do they think there is more power in the prayer, that would be occultic? Do they think they can connect with the people around the table in more solidarity, that would be man-centered? Do they think there is more of a connection to God for practicing this ritual, which would be sorcery?
Matthew 6:7-8 "And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."
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."
Matthew 15:3
"He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?"
John 8:32
"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
A challenge to the believer might be that whenever we see a Christian ritual, actions that we take we think are for God, we ask Him if this is His idea or another unbiblical ritual that does not please Him.
By the way, there is no insignificant action, they all produce feelings and a mindset either for God or for the ritual.
