When we are spending more time reading the tabloids than we are praying and worshiping God we will be ultimately causing division among believers. There is no real evidence, but there are a whole lot of lies.
1 John 4:1-2 "1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,…"
We ought to be speaking of Christ and His teachings rather than spreading the lies of these tabloid internet liars. They claim to have proof but never offer any, they are causing deep division within the body of Christ. Making statements presenting them as facts when there are no facts, turning people away from Christ, it destroys the credibility of the gospel message.
Anyone caught up in this stuff needs to take a step back and pray before reading one more word from their sites.
There are many people now who revel in just knowing information, whether or not it is true is not important as long as they believe it.
I beg those who are involved in this to go to prayer before passing on information that they have heard but have no way of vetting.
Just because something is in print does not mean it is true. Just because someone says it or believes it does not mean the information is true.
Let's ask a very important question, what was God's command to the born-again believer?
Let's answer that question with the word of God;
Matthew 28:19-20
"19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
1 Peter 3:15
"15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect;"
Defense of what? Defense of the gospel, not politics or personal rights.
2 Corinthians 5:20
"20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."
2 Timothy 2:15
"15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
Acts 2:28
"28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’"
Following the conspiracy theories does nothing to further the cause of Christ, in fact, it detracts from it, even turning people away from the truth of the gospel.
John 14:6
"6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Mark 16:15
"15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."
Please I beg the born again believers to stay on point, that is the gospel. When we do this we cannot go wrong. We may lose our rights, so what, we don't have any rights as followers of Christ, we are His servants to carry out His will wherever He places us, even if that means in prison for our faith.
Other countries of the world understand this thinking because they have never had rights and have been controlled all their lives by the government and yet the Christians live with hope every day, because their hope is not in the government or their wealth since they don't have any, their hope is in Christ alone.
Americans operate like spoiled children who are having their toys taken away for being naughty. God is removing our toys, our freedoms, to show us just how arrogant and entitled we have been. Not one of us in America can say we have not at one time or another whined about not getting something we want. It's because we are so used to getting what we want we have become self-focused. Even our sermon messages must be spoken the way we like to hear it or we rebel in anger. Even our worship is man-centered instead of Christ-centered.
The modern gospel of America has sadly gone all over the world in their evangelism. The entire world has become apostate but the believers don't see it. We truly are living in the final days when there is little faith left on the earth.
Is it any wonder that God is closing our churches, removing our playthings, and placing restrictions on our movements? I do not wonder, I see clearly now what God is doing and it is for our good that He is disciplining America. Unless we repent, and I am convinced this country will not, we will lose what we have quickly.
We have been entrusted with the gospel message for several generations, but have exchanged that message from one of repentance to one of personal gain and wealth. And, if that is not bad enough we have taken this false gospel message to the rest of the world. We will be held accountable for perverting what God has given us.
The greatest witnesses we can be in this world for Christ is for the community around us to see us unconcerned about our own safety and joyful that we are safe in Christ no matter what anyone does to us. When they see the joy in us that they do not have, they may want to know why we have such joy with all that is going on in the world. We can share with them that it is Christ who keeps our hearts from a meltdown. We know this is not all there is, that our greatest hope is no in this world but in our life with Him now and when we go home to heaven.
Luke 12:48 "but the one who did not know it, and committed acts deserving of a beating, will receive only a few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more."
God is not standing still for our perversion of His gospel truth. The beginning of discipline is here, we can expect greater discipline soon.
