False Teachers in this Present Day

Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

In these last days, we are seeing thrown at us many deceptions and many false teachers who are detracting from the Word of God through concepts added from the book of Enoch to the Bible. This book is demonic and full of contradictions to the Bible.

Sadly one of the means used these days is the attraction to "sci-fi" ideas that titillate the minds of those who lack faith.

When you hear phrases like; "I think it could be" followed by "since this is true", we know we are dealing with someone caught up in the ideas of their own mind and their own desires to be seen as having special knowledge, this is Gnosticism, that is any kind of knowledge for its own sake.

One of the tricks of the devil is to make an assertion based on desired thinking and then speak from that point on as though it is fact.

Many preachers today are adding to the word of God by concocting bits of information they choose to believe attaching "God" to it to make it sound like credible Biblical information. This ploy is common now and very deceptive.

One of these preachers is Billy Crone. He has an over-emphasis on sci-fi without credible evidence. His evidence is based on snippets of conversation by government authorities taken out of context to influence others to believe what he is saying. Billy has been of the "entertainment" mindset living in Las Vegas and has used sensationalism and levity to influence others into his false assertions. In short, he is an entertainer by nature.

By his own testimony, he states that he was heavily into the occult as a young man. Then he became a Christian rejecting those cults. However, I notice that he retains his "sensationalist" desire for outlandish unbiblical sci-fi, often adding to scripture, leaving out scripture, and stating his assertions as though they are facts.

The most used argument today that has influenced many Christians is the assertion that angels impregnated human women creating giants. This came from the book of Enoch and is blasphemy.

The reason it is blasphemy is that it asserts that devils have the same power that God the Father did when He impregnated the body of Mary.

Let's take a look at the nature of the devils. God conveyed clearly that angels do not procreate, they have no gender nor do they have a seed. They can appear as men in allusion but they do not become men. Luke 20

God also said that He created each after its own kind, a cat does not mate with a dog, nor do other different species of animals mate with each other. Angels are spirit beings without physical bodies, nor do they have a seed for the purpose of procreation.

If a man was possessed of a devil and that devil caused the man to impregnate a woman then the seed is the man's seed and would be a human baby.

In order to make the "Nephilim" be the product of spirit human interaction, one would have to add to scripture from other books that are demonic.

God said there were giants in the land at the time the men of God came to the daughters of men, that is godly men who slept with pagan women, that there were giants in the land at the time. Nowhere does it convey that the giants had anything to do with the union of the men of God and the pagan women. The bible does not state that the Nephilim were the offspring of the union of godly men and pagan women.

I am becoming more shocked all the time about all the popular and famous preachers who are believing this nonsense.

Now we are watching well-known preachers camping full-on with the sci-fi beliefs in which they are twisting Scripture as well as adding things to scripture to make it palatable with their desired sci-fi beliefs.

Much of this information about the Nephilim is "false knowledge" to influence people to buy books as well as exciting with pleasurable information that distracts them from God.

The deception is all around us now, probably more deception than truth is flying everywhere to deter believers from worship and faith in Christ.

1 Timothy 6:20-21 " 20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,” 21 which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.…"

We are becoming few now, those who desire the pure Word of God unadulterated. We are satisfied with seeking Christ as revealed in the Bible. We have no need for sensationalism or other sources outside the Bible for our truth.

Every book we read we read with the mindset to evaluate it according to the Bible. If the book we read does not match what God said in His Word then we discard that book and remain faithful to the Bible.

Brothers and Sisters beware of those who bring "new revelation" without strong Biblical evidence. Beware of those who snatch pieces of the Bible out of context to fit their desired belief. Question all things and discard anything that is contrary to God's Word.

Please do not be deceived by all these fanciful beliefs that only take us away from Christ. And, please do not be influenced by the popularity of the preachers who teach this silliness.

Popularity does not equate to truth, actually just the opposite. Often the most popular preachers are the ones deviating from the Word of God to entertain their flock.

Galatians 6:7-10

"7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith."

We will become like those we follow, books we read and people whom we hear regularly. Be careful to stay close to those who love the Word of God in actions not only in words. Watch what they love and who or what they speak about most, this will tell us where their loyalty lies.

A Satanic Culture of Intmidation

A satanic culture will protect and defend the wicked person while demeaning or rebuking the victims. This is why we are seeing such "ragingly insane" attitudes and actions these days.

God warned us this would happen and the mentalities behind it all. We know it is demonic influence infecting the minds of people making them believe they are the victims while those they abuse are the ones causing all the trouble.

We once attended a church in which the pastor held the Bible above his head and said this; "all of life's answers are not in this book" and "all of life's answers are not Jesus Christ."

We left that church because of the psychology that was being used that undermined the word of God. When we walked out never to return we were told by some of the attendees there that we were being rebellious, that attending a gathering was like a marriage, you did not leave. There is no scripture that says such a thing, but it was being used to shame and embarrass us into remaining.

Interestingly the terrible doctrine and snarky attitudes did not do as the attackers had hoped, that we would come back with our tails between our legs. All it served to do for us was to solidify in our minds that leaving was the right move for us.

We were new believers at the time, having left the Catholic church to follow Christ this was the first church we attended. Even in our infancy, we knew their doctrine was wrong and could not tolerate it, especially knowing they would not listen to our correction.

I wonder how many people who are new believers become intimidated by false teachers and ignore their sense that something is wrong while buckling under to the pressure of these false teachers.

When we make a boundary about our dedication to the Bible our soul cannot stand to cross that boundary into false doctrine. The Holy Spirit will nag at us until we do what is right. However, if we ignore that nagging from God to stay true to Him, the Holy Spirit will go silent until we resolve the problem the last time He spoke to us.

Psalm 66:18

"18 If I regard wickedness in my heart,

The Lord will not hear;"

1 Thessalonians 5:18-19 "18 Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not extinguish the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt,…

Ephesians 4:30

"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption."

When we listen to men rather than Christ in us He will allow us to believe what the men say and pay the price for not listening to Him.

Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"

Over the years I heard people say they have been praying a long time for something but could never get a clear answer from God, they were perplexed as though God owed them an answer.

Sadly the people that expressed this were those who were in rebellion against the truth of the Bible in some area of their lives. They expected God to answer their prayers the way they wanted them answered but weren't willing to obey God's Word as He spoke to them in the Bible. In fact, they didn't search the Bible to obey God's principles but expected God to give them what they wanted their own way.

While it is true that "Christians" today are more likely to endorse sin and embrace false gospels, we do not have to become like them. We can walk in truth when no one else walks with us.

There is more joy in being alone obeying God than in a room full of friends who don't love Him. When we are without human companionship we are not alone, because Christ is always with us. He goes through everything with us and provides for all our needs.

Philippians 4:19-20 "19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.…"

2 Corinthians 9:8

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

Hallelujah!!!

Opinions or Facts?

Far too many people are basing their opinions about events seen on the news on how they "want to feel" more than anything else.

It has been my experience in recent years that most people operate based on how they wish to believe things rather than on facts.

The internet is terrible for this judging based on feelings over small snippets of information without the facts.

Proverbs 18:12-13 "…12 Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. 13 He who answers a matter before he hears it— this is folly and disgrace to him."

John 7:51

"Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?"

In our day of many lies and false opinions, it is better not to make judgments based on the news media or what strangers may claim. It is acceptable now in our culture to exaggerate to make a point or so many people seem to think.

Our culture acts as though it believes that as long as you believe you are right about something, exaggeration is acceptable.

I am here to tell you that exaggeration to cause people to view things our own way is sin. It is not alright to make up false facts or pretend something is true just because we might like the way it reads on paper.

We are a "feelings-oriented" people now, so many people react to events based on how they wish to feel and not on what really happened.

As born-again believers, we must not judge according to appearances without facts.

John 7:24 "24Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”

Also, one last thing, it is not our business to judge the things we hear in the media. If we are chosen to sit on a jury and judge the fate of someone, then we are judging according to facts, not opinions based on short snippets of information.

Leviticus 19:15

“You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor."

The Attacks of the Devil

Satan attacks our minds through thoughts and feelings.

Have you ever been feeling happy with nothing bad going on and then all of a sudden a feeling of sadness comes over us? Even momentarily at times, without anything triggering it?

When God tells us something in His Word we might have a feeling of "did God really say that", just the way Satan did with Eve in the garden. Many people are misinterpreting the Bible because they are seeing God's word through "feelings-oriented" eyes.

The devil placed doubt in the mind of his target, Eve, appealing to her pride and desire for something that was forbidden to her.

The devil often attacks the "feelings" level of a person far more than anything else. He has no power if he cannot make us give into "feelings."

If he can convince us our feelings are truth, then he can lead us into all kinds of blasphemy and sin.

As Adrian Rogers once said; "feelings are the shallowest part of our being." I would add to this that feelings are also often wrong, they make us think something is wrong when it is right and that something is right when it is wrong.

God says in the last days "good will be called bad and bad will be called good." This is because people are basing what they believe on feelings rather than facts. If someone is fearful about something chances are good they are more feelings oriented.

Even worship in our churches has become feelings-oriented. Many people think if they feel good about something it must be truth. If they feel bad about something then it must be wrong.

We see this in the culture too, in an insane irrational embracing of feelings when someone's gender is based on what they happen to desires to feel that day, this is irrational insanity.

As God said in 2 Timothey 3; "in the last days, there will be perilous (ragingly insane) times. When we see the language in its original meaning we can see how this is playing out right now everywhere. Irrational insanity rules nearly everything.

Keep in mind that we are in the end of the end days, it has been prophesied and will progress into worse days to come until Christ comes back to destroy evil at the end of it. We will be with Him when He does this after having enjoyed seven years of the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Will things get worse before we go to that Supper? You betcha!!!! However, we need not be depressed about it because we know the end of the story and that Christ wins and we with Him.

The devil says: "what if" or "did God really mean that" and we reply with His Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. As born again believers we don't have to worry, stress or feel oppressed when we are focused on Christ. We may have bought of skirmishes with temptation and the devil's ploys but we do not remain helpless or hopeless.

Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

Romans 5:1 "Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God."

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."

Hallelujah!!!
