Our Heart Attitude Comes Out in Our Actions

The world focuses on words not actions. God focuses on actions brought on by thought life. How we think drives what we do.

Trusting Christ in the Midst of this Life

There are many things going on behind the scenes that we cannot see or prove orchestrated by the devil to bring this country down. I do not dwell on the possibilities because I can't vet them, so I keep my eyes on Christ and look for my blessed hope in the rapture when Christ comes for His church.

As believers in and followers of Christ we are to keep our focus on our home going. In doing this we will not waste time trying to save a nation but we will be invested in speaking the truth of the gospel to the very few who are left who want to hear.

We are living in times just like those of Noah in which it will be rare to find anyone who wants to hear, except in the middle east where God is working without missionaries.

Even the missionaries as a whole have been spreading a false gospel so Christ is coming personally to many in the Middle East where He is beginning to focus His attention on Israel and the Arabs who are becoming open to the gospel.

America is done, the people have bought into many false doctrines and rabidly defend them as though they came from God. They will not budge when they hear the truth and they invest in poking at and demeaning believers who are truth tellers.

Those who will be hated the most in our country are those who point out the false doctrine and live according to the Biblical principles to please Christ Who lives in them.

Romans 8:10—“Christ is in you”

“But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness."

”2 Corinthians 4:6-7 "6 For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."

7 But we have this treasure in earthen containers so that the extraordinary greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;"

Galatians 2:20

"20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."

If you desire to obey the Scriptures as God gave them to us, you will be hated by many "Christians" who love their false doctrine and humanistic thinking.

Most who say they are Christians do not know what it is to be led by the Holy Spirit. They claim many things God never said, follow the world instead of the mandates in God's Word and mocking and demeaning those who want to live fully for Christ.

Matthew 10:21-22 "…21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.…"

In families the covert rudeness and mean treatment is becoming more subtle and diabolical, meaning from the devil so much so that those who live out their anger will deny the rudeness but never stop its practice. They feel justified in their hate even without good reason, except that we dared to tell the truth about God and His Word.

God's solution to this problem is not to attempt to "talk it out" with the wicked offenders, the more you speak the worse they become, using every word and action as they twist it to mean what we didn't say or do. We cannot reason with those who have chosen hatred and refuse truth.

Isaiah 66:5

You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: "Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!' But they will be put to shame."

Our hope is not in people to change and treat us better, our hope is in Christ that He will preserve our hearts no matter what evil people do. One day soon there will be justice for us and it will be Christ Who carries it out.

Isaiah 66:5,6

Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed"

Hallellujah!!!!

Will Trump Make America Great Again? What Does The Bible Say?

Obey Christ not Man

I was mocked and demeaned by Christians when I said that there is no command in scripture to vote for our leaders, meaning we are free to choose to vote or not to vote.

Here's the thing; Our country is so wicked right now that "even the elect are being fooled" about everything. They are judging people as Christians who are not and have no life testimony of having been changed by Christ into a new creation. They equate "conservatism" with Christianity.

Many of the people I know who attend church every week become angry when they are challenged to obey the Word of God just as God told it. They judge others based on superficial things God never commanded and expect us to honor their ideas rather than seeking Christ for the truth.

I hear prominent preachers chastising the people to vote as though it were a command of God when it is not. If we are a remnant, and I know that we are, what makes these preachers think we can put our thumb on the scales and make a difference causing people to do what is right.

When God said we are to be salt and light He didn't mean make unsaved people follow God's principles, He meant to bring the gospel to the unsaved. We are not about making unsaved people look like good people we are to encourage them to become born again so they will "Be" what God will make them if they trust in Christ.

Jermiah 11:13-15 "…13 Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, O Judah; the altars of shame you have set up—the altars to burn incense to Baal—are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’ 14 As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, for I will not be listening when they call out to Me in their time of disaster. 15 What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your doom, so that you can rejoice?…"

We have a statue of a false god hovering over this country in New York Harbor that most "Christians" think is a simple of liberty but that is really a worship of freedom instead of God. It was given to us by a pagan nation, France. It is the Roman goddess Libertas.

Most Christians in this country have been brainwashed to believe we are a Christian nation, but the brand of it is cultural, not godly.

We know the god in most hearts is not the God of the Bible but their own desires, their own freedom, their love of self.

No one who is born-again would be angry when scripture is quoted to prove the truth, and yet I see this all the time among churchgoers. At the very least they ignore the truth teller completely and even exclude them in subtle ways to keep them from having influence.

We are a remnant in our country and in the world, we have no political power but we are not called to that, we are called to speak the gospel and encourage those who have become born again to follow the Words of Christ. He is the Word, the Bible is His instruction book to us, to ignore it is to ignore Him. To change what He says is to demean Him.

John 20:30-31

"30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

John 1:1

"1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Jesus Christ is the Word, He is the essence of His Own Word.

Once again I write; to ignore the word of God is to ignore Christ.

Do not Ignore the Holy Spirit

Narcissists are Controlled by the Evil One

Narcissists are not aware of how they hurt others because they have been trained by demons that what they are doing is good.

They think their rudeness and demeaning actions are justified even if they cannot verbalize why they do what they are doing. They even deny the way they are because the father of lies is their father.

When we understand where the personal attacks are coming from and that is not about us at all we can feel sorry for those who are under the spell of the devil.

1 John 5:18-20 "…18 We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.…"

Those of us who love the Lord with all our hearts cannot understand why someone would enjoy battering emotionally and spiritually another human being. We can only know who is the author of it and his purpose is to cause frustration in us so that we react giving the narcissist an excuse for their continual attempts at derailling our walk with Christ.

Remember Christ lives in us and no one can overpower Him or us.

Luke 4:6

"I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory," he said. "For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish."

John 12:31

"Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out."

John 17:15

"I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one."

Everything the devil throws at us is thwarted by Jesus Christ Who lives in us and everything we encounter brings strength and growth in us.

James 1:2-18 "2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

9 Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,

10 and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away.

11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."

We do not have to fear the attacks of the devil because Christ has our backs every day and all day long.

No One Hated Their Own Flesh

No one hated his own flesh according to God.

Ephesians 5:29 "29 Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church."

Psychology says that people who do harm to themselves hate themselves. The reality is that people who do harm to themselves are motivated by anger at God Who created them.

I have good examples of this, the adopted children who were accepted into a family at an older age but did not feel grateful. These people were angry that the adoptive parents were a part of the system that took them away from their natural parents.

Instead of accepting the new parents and desiring to learn good things from them, they fought against every teaching and every good example they saw in a stance of revenge.

Because of this unfounded revenge the older adopted children chose to do things deliberately hurtful to themselves knowing the adoptive parents would be grieved by it.

I have seen adoptive children destroy their own lives in revenge on the adoptive parents. This is what people who seek to harm themselves when they are deeply angry, they want to hear the heart of God Who created them.

Irrational anger based on false thinking never thinks clearly about the truth but rather it devises false reasons to be angry to torment those who helped them.

We saw this when Christ went to the cross. He died to pay the penalty for our sinful nature, even healing people and saving their souls from hell but their response was to murder Him. Christ did only good every moment of His life here on earth and yet the response of most people was to reject Him, mock Him, and even kill Him.

There are many people I have met who are rebellious so much so that when they are given the truth that might help them, they rage and dig in their heels to go the opposite way.

So many people in the churches are choosing to go their own way while claiming they believe in Christ. However, they don't realize that authentic belief is to do what God wants, never to ingore His word or change it to fit our own desires. Just saying something means nothing, "faith and works go together", we cannot claim to have faith in Christ while ignoring or changing His Word.

John 14:15. "This passage means that following Christ's commandments is both a sign and a test of love for him. The "commands" include all of Jesus' words and teachings, which are God the Father's words." Got Questions

John 14:15-16 "15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—…"

Those who rage against the truth while attending church gatherings are not born again, they are pretenders.
