God Sees All!

The unsaved are like little children, they think God does not see!

Sort of like a child who is hiding behind the curtain but his feet are sticking out. He thinks his Mommy can't see him because he can't see her.

WE know that God sees all, all the time!!!! Hallelujah!

The Lord Will Slay the Beast

2 Thessalonians 2:8

"Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;"

Soon Brothers and Sisters!!!! Hallelujah

God's Gift to Me Today!

The Lord sent me a wonderful gift today as I was at my computer looking out the window. This lovely animal has been coming around regularly now. A little later in the day, a small buck came through along with a couple of does. When we see the little things every day as blessings we will never lose our peace and joy. Hallelujah!

The Test!

The true test of our Christianity will be how we respond when everything we hold dear is taken away from us.

My hope is that when real national trouble comes many people will see their need for the Savior, repent and become born again.

Galatians 3:3

"3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?"

If our dedication to Christ is based on our cushy life then it is not Christianity at all but rather cultural Christianity, a far different thing.

1 John 5:2

"2 By this we know that we love the children of God when we love God and [a]follow His commandments."

Our life as a born again believer is not dependent on ease of living or pleasure, it is dependent on the promises of God as Christ lives in us.

Proverbs 28:9-10

"9 One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law,

Even his prayer is an abomination.

10 One who leads the upright astray in an evil way

Will himself fall into his own pit,

But the blameless will inherit good."

The cultural Christianity of this country and the world has dominated the church gatherings, so much so that sin abounds in most of them. This form of religion has caused many people and this nation to begin its journey into the pit of darkness as we move further and further away from the principles of the Bible to embrace the one world religion that is all-inclusive except the exclusion of those who are authentically born again.

"Christian" pretenders are biting and devouring authentic born again believers for daring to use the scripture as the standard of living as they seek the Holy Spirit.

What has passed for Christianity for the past 60 years has been pleasure-oriented, paganistic in nature, in practice more than it has been holy.

God's judgment is on this country now and the world for its devilish influence on born again believers. The devils are not wholly to blame, they had the help of discerning and willful Christians who bought into the lies Satan was feeding them.

Matthew 24:24-25 " 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect if that were possible. 25 See, I have told you in advance.…"

If anyone wants to place blame on the downfall of this country let them look at their own hearts to find the answer. The politicians don't hold the key to this problem, they are nothing more than reflective of the heart of the people.

Proverbs 28:9-10

"9 One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law,

Even his prayer is an abomination.

10 One who leads the upright astray in an evil way

Will himself fall into his own pit,

But the blameless will inherit good."

Born again believers are not saved by obeying the Law, the Law was given to convict the unsaved of their sin so they would repent. However, a born again believer loves the Law because they have the Law, Who is Jesus Christ, living in them. They have become one with the Giver of the Law.

The unsaved who encounter the born again believer is deeply convicted by the Holy Spirit that lives in the born again. They often run away when the conviction is too intense, or they will bitterly fight to defend their sin as well as discredit and malign the believer in Christ to intimidate them into silence.

When they can't cause the believer to respond badly to their attacks they will move on to turn against the believer influencing others for further assaults.

This is the world we live in right now. We are nearing the end of the church age, few are there who follow Christ. Most people are on the wide road to hell. Some believe they are going to heaven but will hear the most frightening words anyone will ever hear when they come before the Lord, here they are, those fateful words.

Matthew 7:21-23

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one 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; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"

Do you attend church, that does not make you born again!

Do you do good deeds that make you feel good about yourself, that does not make you born again!

Do you tithe, giving your money to the poor! That too does not make you born again!

One thing the cultural Christian almost never does is self reflect to evaluate their lives to see if they have trusted Christ. They merely proclaim what they think they are and live as though they never knew Christ. These people love to judge others and become enraged when they think they are being judged.

This is covered in the passage that Christ spoke about when He said we are not to judge others when we are doing the same things as the person we judge.

The cultural Christian throws out terms like "don't judge", and "you don't know my heart" and other cliches that the Bible clearly negates. The cultural Christian lives by good sounding platitudes but have no idea where they came from or what the Bible teaches about these things.

We know we have moved into the apostate age when most people who say they are Christians are angry or embarrassed at the mention of God's word, especially when it relates to them.

Matthew 10:33-35 "33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven. 34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.…"

We have witnessed the widespread disrespect in the 40 something generation as they treat their parents and grandparents with monstrous disrespect. Families will love one another as long as those members accept all their sin as though it was good.

Those who will be treated shamefully are those who stand on the Word of God. Those who do not bend to the culture and the false doctrines will be mocked, shamed and abandoned.

It is not possible to change the hearts of others, that is God's business. Many people will march into hell with the same hardened heart that had all their lives. They will not regret their attitudes and actions until they are in the burning fires. However, even then they will regret that they are there but not that they hated God.

When God said there will be gnashing of teeth in hell He was not speaking of it from pain but from anger. Even in hell those who go there will be angry at God still. They will wail in pain and gnash their teeth in anger.

Matthew 13:41-43 "…41The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness. 42And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.…"

We are so close now to the end of the church age and the beginning of the tribulation that we should not be surprised as anything we see happening.

Revelation 22:12-17 "12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely."

Hallelujah!!!!!! We know what's coming and where we are going, we have reason to rejoice.

Misunderstanding God's Love

Does God love evildoers? Do not be deceived by this false doctrine that Christ loves evil people. He has love, is the very essence of love so He offered salvation to those who want it, but those who do not want it must be very afraid of God.

Psalm 26:5 …4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites. 5I hate the mob of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.6I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,…"

Psalm 1:1

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

Romans 5:10 "10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved [a]by His life."

Christ extended His love to mankind to give them the choice to obey Him. However, He does not love those who hate Him. They are His enemy and they are our enemy too. It is hatred that sends evil people to hell, not love.

God told us to bless our enemies, just as Christ blessed them, what does this mean? It means we bless the enemies of God with the salvation message, if they reject it then that is on them.

Psalm 5:5-6

"5 The boastful will not stand before Your eyes;

You hate all who do injustice.

6 You destroy those who speak lies;

The Lord loathes the person of bloodshed and deceit."

How Do They Think

Often people interpret events and words in terms of how they already think personally.

If someone frequently tells lies they will accuse others of lying. They expect others to do what they do. Seldom do they evaluate each event or words on their own merits.

Our culture is becoming more this way every day, most of the people in our world are assessing things according to their feelings and not according to facts. Or according to how they wish to be seen and not what is real.

When the culture as a whole is fixated and driven by personal feelings over facts they will interpret most things erroneously. When they are dedicated to seeing themselves as special and superior they will frame their view of all events in their favor.

This is the reason we are seeing so much fighting in families, churches, and workplaces. Drama is preferred over the resolution of problems. Each person biting and devouring one another while gossip runs amuck.

Since many people are more dedicated to appearing perfect and right all the time they have no sense of empathy that allows them to listen to anyone else. There are some people who are genetically predisposed to the tendency to think they know everything. I have seen this in small children who grow up to become worse in their adult years.

I have experienced this in my personal life often when a family member will rage at you merely for suggesting that "we need to talk." That assertion alone, "that we need to talk" is seen as a challenge and an attack to the malignant narcissist.

Often the attacks and demeaning begin at the mention of the idea that something is wrong that needs to be fixed. Narcissists hate more than anything else the thought of solving a problem through honest dialogue. I am convinced it's because they had to be confronted in the first place for their own overt or covert attacks to dominate and they know it. Winning over others takes priority over the quality of the relationship and over any solutions.

People who are honest and kind do not rage immediately when told they have offended someone. These people want to hear how they did that and when they find out the reason they apologize quickly, even if it were unintended offenses.

Because it is the devil who controls the mind of the narcissist they are unwilling to self-reflect to see if perhaps they were at fault. Since they must be seen as perfect and flawless they will never dialogue to resolve relationship problems. Their false image is paramount to everything in their lives. Truth is not very important, only that they are seen as special is important to them. And, anyone else they think is more important than them will be targeted for defeat.

Over the years I have watched this phenomenon grow exponentially since the self-esteem teaching became full-blown in the public school system. This system fostered intense pride in the students, so much so that parents could no longer reason with their children. The teaching of self-esteem fed the baser nature of the human condition, causing irrational responses to perfectly legitimate life experiences.

With this teaching came the lack of respect for authority, especially parents. The school system taught the children, often covertly that their parents were not to be seen as the "wise ones" in their children's lives, it was the teachers who were to be respected above the parents.

Sadly in marriages, one spouse will understand the Biblical way to raise children attempting to obey God with love, instruction and discipline in the ways of the Lord, but the other spouse has bought into the lie of self-esteem and works against them. The children will nearly always follow the way of the lenient parent because it is their natural bent to dislike correction and rebuke.

As we ponder this very sad truth we can see how the world will become ripe for the antichrist rule.

Churches and parents are ignoring the Biblical standards for raising children allowing the godless public school system do the job for them only to be kicked in the teeth by their children when they no longer love or respect them.

When this happens there is only one thing to do, when they are grown and worse than ever we must allow them to go letting God deal with them in the world. It is only through a transformed Spirit in Christ that they will see their need to be changed into a new creation. Without this, the adult children grow worse as they grow into middle age and their elderly years. In the meantime, they have taught by example their own children how to act disrespectfully without restraint, conscience, or empathy for anyone else.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

Difficult Times Will Come

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

What should our response be in these troubling and often frustrating times? We ought to be seeking to be thinking with the mind of Christ while obeying His principles in the Bible. We must speak the truth as led by the Holy Spirit and leave all the results to Him. How a person responds to God's truth has nothing to do with us, that's God's business.

When we know we have obeyed the Holy Spirit we will have peace no matter how others act toward us. We will be able to move on from those who don't want to hear and who treat God as disrespectfully as they do us.

Bottom Line: Obey Christ and give others to God to deal with!
