Using the Media for Christ.

I am convinced the Lord gave us Facebook and the rest of social media as well as Youtube in these last days before Christ takes out the church. Evil people will always use God's provision for their evil, but we need not worry about that. We just simply do what God instructs us to do and leave those evil people to God. And, even give the gospel to those who happen to cross our path, that perhaps they will find salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The gospel has been around the world many times warning those who are not born again to evaluate their life and trust in Christ for salvation.
The reason I believe we are in the end of the end times is the fact that every believer can sit in their home with their computers and reach the entire world with the gospel. It is God's miracle and provision for the end times.
Evil is growing for sure, but the means to reach the lost is also growing. It is a miracle from God that we have the convenience and means to go around the world in seconds with the gospel.
Not only can we speak to unbelievers across the world in seconds we can connect with other believers, encouraging one another.
This is a time for rejoicing, we see the world "growing gloriously dark" as Adrian Rogers used to say. Meaning we are looking forward to our home going soon and shortly after that evil will be judged and expunged from the earth.
After this, we have the Millennium to look forward to in which Christ will be our King over the entire earth.
Now there is a leader we can get behind entirely without reservation, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on the throne in Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!!!!

Justice is Coming

Our modern culture accepts the evil things and demeans the righteous things. They call this being positive, God say they are deceived and blind.
Revelation 3:16-17 "…16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth! 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked."
In these end of the last days we are watching most people calling good evil and evil good. They are promoting the destruction of the family through divorce and remarriage, through gender dysphoria, drug use and every other sin that has ruined families, but they are calling it all good.
Most will not repent from their sin but would accuse others of theirs. Up is down, black is white and the god of self reigns over the culture.
Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? Remember Rome and Jericho? Remember the flood that destroyed the entire world? The next time it will be Christ returning on His horse with all the born-again believers to destroy evil on the earth. The born-again believers will not be fighting, only Christ will with the sword of His mouth.
2 Peter 3:7
"But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly."
There will be justice and it will be through Christ that it comes.

God is Still in Control!!!

Nothing that happens is out of God's hands.
He closed the churches using wicked people because the churches have been disobeying God's word in most things for many years.
Most people who say they are Christian lack the fruit of the Spirit because they have never been born again and yet they are the example of Christianity to the unsaved world. Because of this there are many false converts within the church today.
God is removing the lampstand because our country has attempted to bring its own gospel into the church gatherings rather than worshiping the real Jesus Christ.
Most churches are disobeying more of God's Word than they are obeying, repeating paganistic mantras as well as fighting with authentic believers in their quest to modernize the church.
Satan is present in most gatherings as he influences the ungodly to mock and demean those who wish to stay true to the Word of God.
Sensationalism has taken over the church gatherings. The desire to be special and superior to others drives the mentality of many church attendees.
We are living in those end times spoken of in 2 Timothy 3. It is vitally important that we refrain from listening to those who are deeply rooted in the ways of the world to the point of defending sin and false doctrine. We must rebuke this false doctrine. Be aware that if you stand firm in God's Word you will be verbally and emotionally attacked and there will be no one to come alongside and defend God or you.
Do not feel bad or depressed because of this, rejoice that you are counted among those who remain faithful.
Matthew 5:10-12 "…10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.…"
There are some of you who enjoy friendship on Facebook but are not finding the same friendship in your communities. This might show us how few authentic believers there are left in the world. We are finding one another on the internet but lack close friendships in our own hometowns. We are too radically in love with Jesus Christ to be enjoyed by those who love this world.
If you have one friend in your town that you can trust and who loves Christ as much as you do then count yourself fortunate and blessed. Some people have no one in family or community that comes alongside. These people must be very strong to remain joyful. Just like Noah and Lot in their day.
Matthew 24:37-39
"37 For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be."

The Era of Raging Insanity

Just as many in our culture today, narcissists interpret our responses in terms of how they would feel if they were responding instead of us.
For example; when we ask a friend to correct the date on a paper they are giving us, rather than smile and do it with gladness, they become irritated as though we did something wrong in asking for the correction.
Why would this happen, why the angst instead of the loving compliance? The reason is that if the narcissist were asking for a date change they would be angry that we were stupid enough to make a mistake and they would demand that we fix it while they are shaming us for the mistake.
They think that we are doing what they would do if the situation was reversed. Narcissists cannot see what is really happening, they will interpret everything in terms of shame and guilt as a means of control over the emotions of others.
If we were asking a narcissist to do something for us, they would assume we were attempting to control them. They believe we are attempting to control them because if they were asking us for something they would be attempting to control us.
This is why they have so much anger expressed continually. They are angry and assume we are angry. They have hatred when they do things with others and assume the others are angry at them.
If we were to give a gift to a narcissist they assume we are trying to manipulate them because if they gave a gift to us they would be manipulating us.
If a narcissist says we are lying, its because they lie all the time. If a narcissist says we were angry at them, they are revealing they were angry at us.
These are all ploys of the devil. Those who are full-on narcissists are being played by the devil. He is controlling their emotions and their words. When we encounter them and the encounter seems irrational and untrue, then we can assume it is the devil in control.
This is why we have no need to feel defensive or respond to it, we know where it comes from and it is not about us or toward us, it is toward the Holy Spirit Who lives in us.
We can expect to experience more of this irrational thinking and response in these last days. As 2 Timothy 3 states very clearly what we are watching in these end times, we are watching "raging insanity" take place, growing more blatant every day.
2 Timothy 3
1 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, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these.
6 For among them are those who slip into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, worthless in regard to the faith.
9 But they will not make further progress; for their foolishness will be obvious to all, just as was that also of Jannes and Jambres.
10 Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,
11 persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!
12 Indeed, all who want to live in a godly way in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
13 But evil people and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness;
17 so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work."
As born-again believers, we have overcome the devil by the power of the Holy Spirit. We need not fear him or those whom he uses.
Hallelujah!!!

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!!!
