Jonathan Cahn's Shemitah Error Makes Him a False Teacher

The date Jonathan Cahn has set for a collapse of the stock market has come and passed.  If Cahn would have been correct in his guess that would not have made him a prophet.  God does not crash our stock market to punish us collectively.  The stock market is controlled by man and the devil's system.

The way in which Jonathan Cahn presents his theories as revelations from God makes him a false teacher at the minimum in my book.  I write this to say to all those that at any point listened to what Cahn had to say about the "Mystery of the Shemitah" including myself a couple years ago, that it is better to study the bible than to listen to false teachers and read the books they write.

I also warn you against John Hagee.  Stay away from those teachers.  Is something bad going to happen this fall concerning the stock market.  Yes, it does appear that things are heading that way.  Does the bible tell us that we will have a global collapse of the stock market?  Not exactly but it does speak of a one world government and a one world currency.  How is that going to come about?  Probably through a global economic collapse and worldwide currency collapse.

The US dollar must collapse and the global economy must collapse and the US must be made to be of little influence perhaps through war and by internal takeover.  Is that process already in place?  I believe so.

These guys writing books about the mysteries in the bible that are not biblical should not be trusted.  Cahn has proven to me that he is a false teacher.  How is he going to spin this now?  Probably he will say, "hey, I never said I was a prophet...hey, I never said that this date may not come and pass...hey, this is the "Year of the Shemitah....so something bad will happen this year most likely, and if it doesn't then hey I'm not a prophet, but I'm prophesying things to come and you cannot deny the power of the Shemitah".  What a load of dung this man spews out of his mouth.

Staying Focused Even Unto The End

When death approaches, people tend to go reflect upon their life and go deep in thought. Unbelievers likely contemplate their accomplishments and how empty their existence has been. Alternatively, the born again believer likely will think of all the people they know in this life that are lost and on their way to an eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Many will make a list of names to pray for and to speak with about Jesus.

When the rapture happens we that are alive and remain will be changed into incorruptible glorified bodies and will ever be with the Lord Jesus.  It is awesome to think about, but the leaving of this world in the rapture is similar to a worldly death in that we will be departing from this world.  If we die before the rapture then we that are born

again will be absent from the body but present with our Lord Jesus.  I feel my life here is coming to an end soon and have made a list of those that need to be born again. Clearly the most important thing in life is to be born again.  Otherwise we face an eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Our time as abassadors for Jesus here on earth is running out. Soon either by death or the rapture we will not have the ability to get the gospel out to the lost. We will have no more opportunities to share with the lost about Jesus. Think about that.

Jesus came with a simple message.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3 [KJV])


If this doesn't happen then a person is not going to see the kingdom of God. Some ask also, do we need to be baptized in water as Jesus was? In the book of Acts everyone that believed was baptized in water.   It is not legalistic to follow Jesus and the example we see in God's word. Debating this is wasting time.

Born again believers have a desire to reach the lost with the gospel that saves. We know the alternative which is eternity in hell for the lost. So then we should be spreading that good news.


Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. (John 12:24-26) KJV


Jesus makes it so simple.  If you prefer your life in this world over following Jesus then you are in serious trouble.  Jesus promises that if we serve Him we will be with Him and that our Heavenly Father will honor us for doing so.


How do we follow Jesus as a disciple?  We look at what he did and we obey the commands He gave His disciples. We abide in the word of God.


And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20) KJV


Be born again and be obedient to Jesus. Often we are so afraid of contradicting our own thoughts about doctrine that we think that we should not do things Jesus said we should do.Why is that?
Could it be an excuse to cover up a fear of the world's reaction to the truth of the gospel? That would be preferring the opinion of man over the opinion of God.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28) KJV


Instead of keeping the words Jesus gave us, becoming born again, and obeying Jesus by spreading the good news about Jesus and the gospel that saves, we tend to become ensnared by the world.  Even our church organizations can wastefully steal our time, money and thoughts.  Many have been decieved in thinking they are to serving God by serving the church building or organization that they attend. Many have been taught to tithe 10% only to that church or they are stealing God's money.  So out of guilt and for fear they listen to the man over them and ignore the homeless mother with children because "the church will take care of them".

Have we subcontracted all our duties as followers of Jesus to these organizations?

Hebrews 10:25 is a verse I am convinced is a reference to the Resurrection and Rapture event where we all will be gathered together unto Jesus on that day. This is one of many verses used by man out of context to guilt members into attending their state sanctioned 501(c)3 tax free corporation. Let us remember that it is Jesus that is head of the church. Not the state.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:18) KJV

Also, we are free from Old Testament rules such as keeping the Sabbath and paying tithes(as described in the Old Testament). Only by applying Old Testament rules to the body of Christ can we justify keeping the Sabbath and tithing as was described in the Old Testament. The laws are written upon our hearts and the Holy Spirit is our teacher.

But we desire to meet up with other believers and praise and worship God and share testimonies and encourage one another.  And we want to give as the Spirit leads us to give. God loves a cheerful giver.  Does God love that many people give as the our church organization commands and then the givers get credit for that giving by obtaining a statement from the tax free church organization?

I don't know what God thinks of that, although the word instructs that when giving it should be like this:

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: (Matthew 6:3) KJV

So there is no particular guideline written that gives us a percent of money we are to give.  Everything we have belongs to the Lord. We have been purchased by Jesus. We should give cheerfully as the Spirit leads and God will bless that.

As believers our time here is transitory.  When we are taken in by lies about the word of God and worldly distractions we lose precious time and resources, and are blinded from truth. What else explains why there are so many that claim to believe in Jesus that do not understand that we are in the end times? Hey no big deal that my church doesn't teach on prophecy.  Prophecy only makes up about a 1/3rd of the bible anyway so who needs to know that.  Where's my pants?


We are instructed to deny ourselves and to follow Jesus. If we do that then we serve Him.

Are you following Jesus? Or are you without thought blindly following your religion, your desires, your way?

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:14) KJV

Reconcile what you believe with the word of God and come into agreement with God's word.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; (John 8:31) KJV


Stay focused on what is most important in these last days.  Make sure you are born again.  Follow Jesus and serve

Him and our Father will honor you. That is a promise we can trust.

Are You Building Your House on Sand?

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (Matthew 7:26-27) KJV


As we grow in our faith we need to be careful not to build upon a strong foundation rooting out any lies so as not to further build upon sand.  I see clearly that Hebrews 10:25 is another reference of the hope of the coming resurrection and rapture of the church.  It is not a command to get you and your family off to the church building and sit there for 30 minutes listening to a sermon and give some money and sing a few songs.  I am not arguing that going to church is a bad thing.

Using God's word to manipulate and build your local church is building your house upon a foundation of sand.It is clear to me that "not forsaking the assembly" in Hebrews 10:25 only means you need to go to church on Sunday IF you take this verse out of context.  This verse is used to prove we are to "go to church". If after you read my arguments and biblical support you still maintain the belief that going to church is a command from Hebrews 10:25 then please correct me and send me biblical proof. Understand that I am not encouraging anyone to stop going to church.

Why is it we witness many faithful church attenders that will argue that Hebrews 10:25 is a verse that commands believers to go to church on Sunday or whatever day it is that the local church is meeting and if you do not then you are sinning and out of fellowship with God?  I believe this is the case because most preachers and teachers have believed that is the simple interpretation of Hebrews 10:25.

If you walk into most large churches and over a two month period you will hear the first half of Hebrews 10:25 at least once.  It is also interesting for me to see that in the bible there is no other verse that confirms this teaching that we are to not forsake going to church on Sunday or whatever day the local church meets.  Don't we as born again believers long to have fellowship with other believers?  I certainly do.  But I have no desire to be manipulated and guilted into building up a man's kingdom which many of these church buildings are.


Assuming that Hebrews 10:25 is a vague command for us to not stop going to church, how often do we see a vague command only mentioned once?  I don't know of any in the New Testament.

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (2 Corinthians 13:1) KJV


The Catholic church was first in popularizing this interpretation of Hebrews 10:25 in order to further control their church members bolster church attendance. Some use the bible purposefully to manipulative and control and lord over their members.

Many others honestly believe this is a command we are to keep regardless of how dead that particular local church may be. This verse is disturbing to me because I believe God was pressing me to read the bible for myself after becoming born again and coming out of the Catholic church.


Also, lies about the bible are dangerous. My desire is to point out that we need to guard against lies about God's word otherwise we find ourselves on a slippery slope.  Some time back I was troubled to hear a friend telling another friend that Hebrews 10:25 says that we are sinning if we don't go to church on Sunday.  I was a bit baffled because I just assumed he would know that is not what Hebrews 10:25 says. This brother in Christ goes to a seemingly good Baptist church.

Then I asked him later about the rapture, and he went on to tell me that the word rapture is not even in the bible.  So you see this person not only did not see that Hebrews 10:25 is a reference to the rapture, but the same church that is teaching incorrectly on this also is bringing him into the bondage of condemnation and contributing to his spiritual blindness on these things.



In the New Testament there are three primary Greek words used for "gathering" and  "assembling"

Episunagoge is a noun and is used only twice in the New Testament. Episunago is a verb and is used only six times in the New Testament.  Sunago is a verb and is used 62 times in the New Testament and is a much more general word for gathering. At the bottom I have listed all the verses where sunago is used for a reference.

If you follow the definition and usage of each of these three Greek words you should see that everywhere Episunagoge is used (only two places) this is a reference to a complete gathering to Jesus at the Resurrection and Rapture of the body of Christ.  The six times we see the use of the verb episunago it is also clear that every gathering is referring to a gathering to Jesus.  Take a look for yourself. Finally the word sunago is used 62 times in the New Testament and is a general gathering.


First word we are looking at is:

episunagoge (ep-ee-soon-ag-o-gay') n.
1. a complete gathering
2. (especially) a Christian meeting (reoccurring for worship)
*Note that Strong's even placed his bias because of this verse to deduct incorrectly that the noun epsiunagoge could mean a complete gathering and be in reference to some reoccurring meeting (such as Sunday).  But nowhere in the New Testament is this logically deducted.

(2Thess 2:1 [KJV])
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

(Heb 10:25 [KJV])
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.




Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

the above verse has the word greek word elpis in KJV as faith: elpis (el-pece') n.
1. expectation

So we should hold fast the acknowledgment of our expectation.

Hebrews 10:24
 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

First off I want to start out by saying that this is written for the Jewish believers and during this time there were other Jews among the believers that were trying to get Jewish believers in Jesus to turn away from their new faith in Jesus.  The Sadducees were among the Jews in that day and they were known to not believe in the resurrection.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. Acts 23:8 KJV

We see in verse 25 that the verse is encouraging them not to abandon the belief in a resurrection as some do (like the Sadducees did) and more encouragement to exhort one another as you all see the day approaching.

What day do you think is being referred to here?  Being that "the day" is in the same sentence as the noun in the beginning referring to that total and complete assembling together which is the
Resurrection and Rapture of the body of Christ (that future day).

Don't abandon the complete gathering which is our expectation at the Resurrection (as the Sadducees for example do), especially as you see THE DAY approaching.

Again, what day? The time when the Resurrection will happen.



Second word we are looking at:

 episunago (ep-ee-soon-ag'-o) v.
1. to gather altogether (upon the same place)
2. to gather completely



(Matt 23:37 [KJV])
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Note: What is happeing in the above verse?  Jesus says that he often desires to gather the children of Israel together.

(Matt 24:31 [KJV])
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Note: Jesus is talking about the complete gathering of God's elect.

(Mark 1:33 [KJV])
And all the city was gathered together at the door.

Note: A complete gathering to do what: See Jesus.

(Mark 13:27 [KJV])
And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Note: Jesus is talking about the complete gathering of God's elect in this parallel verse to Matthew 24.


(Luke 12:1 [KJV])
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is

hypocrisy.

Note: The verb "gathered" here applies to a very large number of people meeting up to see Jesus.


(Luke 13:34 [KJV])
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Note: Luke 13:34 is the parallel to Matthew 23:37 - Jesus says that he often desires to gather the children of Israel together.


Third word looked at here:

Sunago

sunago (soon-ag'-o) v.
1. (properly) to lead together
2. (generally) to gather together, to congregate
3. (specially) to entertain (hospitably)


Note: sunago is used 62 times in the New Testament from Matthew through Revelation.  I have placed each verse at the bottom of this email for your reference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


How strange is it that we are in a time when most churches in America do not touch on prophecy or question anything that benefits their enterprise they call "the church"?  We believers are living stones and we are the church.  Buildings are just buildings.

As someone believes a lie then they become spiritually blinded to some extent.  The more lies one believes the more the truth is not in them and the less their light shines.  When people acquiesce to the teachings of man over the word of God then spiritual blindness enters.  This opens a gate for false doctrine and for lies to flourish.

God is no respecter of persons so don't think that we cannot as believers become spiritually blinded by lies man teach either purposely or because they themselves have been convinced of something not by the word of God, but by man's doctrine.  Is it any wonder that many new believers that seem at first on fire for the word of God have their fire extinguished so soon and stop attending church?


Concluding thoughts:

Episunagoge (noun) is used two times in the bible and both times it refers the future event of the Resurrection and Rapture event (noun) which will be the first complete gathering of believers in the body of Christ to occur in the history of man. 

This is also the reason for the sparse usage of episunagoge. The noun form of episunagoge and the verb form episungago occur a total of 8 times and refer to a some kind of complete gathering together.  Also, seven of the eight verses it is obvious to most that there is a gathering to see Jesus or Jesus is describing a desire to gather the people together under the wing of a hen unto Him.

This is a simple, literal and least contrived of all explanations for Hebrews 10:25.  Hebrews 10:25 has too long been used to guilt people into continuing to attend dead churches.  Also, I think some good preachers also use this incorrectly.  Are you?  Please send your biblical support to me if you still disagree.


Do not read my words and take them as fact without doing your own study.  Most people are not in their bible much.  Collectively we love our tv more than our bible.  How many hours a day do most church goers watch TV and how many hours a day does the same church goer read and study their bible?


And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Acts 17:10-11) KJV


Have you received the love of the truth?  Ask God when you are studying to help you and to show you the truth and trust that He will.


But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (1 John 2:27) KJV

Jesus can reveal the truth about scripture as we remain in His word.  It is such and encouragement to know that we are disciples of Jesus if we continue in His word.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31-32) KJV

Keep watching and praying for our Lord Jesus to bring all believers together at the approaching resurrection of believers and removal of the body of Christ from this wicked world.

(Rev 16:14 [KJV])
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

(Rev 16:16 [KJV])
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

(Rev 19:17 [KJV])
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

(Rev 19:19 [KJV])
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

(Rev 20:8 [KJV])
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Is the President Really an Actor?

I've often wondered about this.  If so will something occur to 86 him just as we see happen to actor roles in soap operas when a character has served his purpose?

I believe this is likely and will be blamed on conservatives that are angry about all the scandals and executive orders passed which are in conflict with the constitution.  Initially I believe this will be blamed on tea party types, but ultimately this will be linked incorrectly to Israel.

My theory is that all these conspiracies are in place to invoke fear and to have something to blame on Israel. They will get blamed for all the conspiracies and the coming economic collapse.

And who stands against Israel?

Our current administration, new agers, disinformation agent (Alex Jones), Islam, a large number of American Christians, most Calvinists, and anyone that believes in Replacement Theology.  I think all those people should join together and start their own cult.  Wait, I think the bible speaks about that happening doesn't it?

Possible dates to watch:

11/22/2014: JFK's 50th anniversary
11/24/2014: Significant date concerning numerology and the satanists that run this world like this date.
3/15/2015: Another date the satanists like.

Hopefully this will not happen, but there appears to be quite a bit of predictive programming suggesting an event like this will occur in the near future.  Ultimately this is simply an observation of the codes and purposeful coinciding dates the operators of the satanic system in which we all are subjected to via our controlled mass media.

We should pray for this man that he will be brought out of the deception which he lives and come to the truth in Jesus Christ.  Jesus can wash away all sins.

Hot, Cold, or Lukewarm and Prayer

God requirements are straight forward.

We are to Pray, seek The Lord, confess and repent of sin, give thanks, love God over all, believe what God says is true as a child believes.

We seek The Lord  by reading the Bible. But we also should spend time alone in prayer. We can read the Bible and just go in prayer to God the Father in the name of Jesus and be silent for some time. We can just thank Him always being thankful for His revealing to us so that we can have the faith in Jesus Christ that brings us to salvation.

It is written that the love of money is the root of all evil.  So if we prefer money over God then we are choosing to love the things of the world. We are told that we cannot serve man nah and The Lord simultaneously. For many the pursuit of worldly things becomes an obsession. You cannot be obsessed with trying to figure out how to become rich financially and grow closer to God.

the truth in the Bible is not fully what saves us.  It is the love of the truth that leads to our faith. If you can receive the love of the truth then you will then have ears to hear and eyes to see. Without it we are lost.

Now that we have received the love of the truth we pray to continue growing closer to God.




Love of money, Love of the truth, love God above all, love they brother as yourself

Hot, cold or Lukewarm?

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.


Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Luke 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Luke 12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Luke 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Luke 12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Luke 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Luke 12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and [unto] magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Luke 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Luke 12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Luke 12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Luke 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Luke 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Luke 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
Luke 12:20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Luke 12:21 So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
Luke 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body [is more] than raiment.
Luke 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
Luke 12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Luke 12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Luke 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Luke 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
Luke 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Luke 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning;
Luke 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Luke 12:37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Luke 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.
Luke 12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Luke 12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

Luke 12:43 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Luke 12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
Luke 12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Luke 12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
Luke 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not [himself], neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes].
Luke 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Luke 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Luke 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Luke 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Luke 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Luke 12:54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
Luke 12:55 And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Luke 12:56 [Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?


Matt 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matt 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
Matt 25:3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Matt 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Matt 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Matt 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Matt 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Matt 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Matt 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Matt 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Matt 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Matt 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Matt 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.


Matt 22:36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
Matt 22:37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matt 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Matt 22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matt 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.


We must recieve the love of the truth

2Thess 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Thess 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Thess 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.



God many times requires prayers of intercessory:

Gen 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she [is] a man's 

wife.
Gen 20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
Gen 20:5 Said he not unto me, She [is] my sister? and she, even she herself said, He [is] my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I 

done this.
Gen 20:6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore 

suffered I thee not to touch her.
Gen 20:7 Now therefore restore the man [his] wife; for he [is] a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore [her] not, know thou 

that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that [are] thine.
Gen 20:8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
Gen 20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a 

great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Gen 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God [is] not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
Gen 20:12 And yet indeed [she is] my sister; she [is] the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Gen 20:13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This [is] thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at 

every place whither we shall come, say of me, He [is] my brother.
Gen 20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave [them] unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Gen 20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Gen 20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver: behold, he [is] to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that [are] 

with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved.
Gen 20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare [children].
Gen 20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.





Jacob prays for protection from his hairy brother Esau

Gen 32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will 

deal well with thee:
Gen 32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; 

and now I am become two bands.
Gen 32:11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, [and] the mother with the 

children.
Gen 32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.





God knows the heart of man
2 King 22:14-20
2Kgs 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of 

Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
2Kgs 22:15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
2Kgs 22:16 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, [even] all the words of the book which the king of Judah 

hath read:
2Kgs 22:17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my 

wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
2Kgs 22:18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [As touching] the words which 

thou hast heard;
2Kgs 22:19 Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the 

inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard [thee], saith the LORD.
2Kgs 22:20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I 

will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.





Solomon becomes King and asks for discenrment of good and evil and it pleases God because he did not ask for riches.
1 Kings 3:6-14
1Kgs 3:6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in 

uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as [it is] this day.
1Kgs 3:7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I [am but] a little child: I know not [how] to go out or come in.
1Kgs 3:8 And thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
1Kgs 3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a 

people?
1Kgs 3:10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
1Kgs 3:11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked 

the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
1Kgs 3:12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither 

after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
1Kgs 3:13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy 

days.
1Kgs 3:14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

Seeking the Truth and Fearing the Lord

God instructs us throughout the bible to have a fear of the Lord.  With that comes a love of truth which leads us to our belief, our faith in God.  Our faith is what makes us righteous in God's eyes.  If we believe in Jesus Christ we are set apart from those that do not and do evil.  We all sin but we are accounted as Righteous by our Faith in Jesus Christ:



(Heb 13:6 [KJV])
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

(Prov 22:4 [KJV])
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

The Fear of the Lord defined from the Bible

(Prov 8:13 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

(Prov 15:33 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.


(Prov 16:6 [KJV])
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

(Prov 19:23 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.


(Prov 9:10 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Today we are given the power, love and a sound mind through the Holy Spirit:
(2Tim 1:7 [KJV])
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

(Prov 15:16 [KJV])
Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.




(Lev 19:14 [KJV])
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

(Matt 13:41 [KJV])
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;



(Prov 1:7 [KJV])
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Prov 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; Isa 65:12; Isa 66:4; Jer 13:10; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Job 27:9; Job 35:12; Isa 1:15; Jer 11:11; Jer 14:12; Ezek 8:18; Mic 3:4; 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.8  33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.








(Num 14:9 [KJV])
Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.



Conclusion:


We find comfort as Christians in the Holy Spirit:

(Acts 9:31 [KJV])
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.


Fear the Lord and love the truth

(2Thess 2:7 [KJV])
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

(2Thess 2:8 [KJV])
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

(2Thess 2:9 [KJV])
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

(2Thess 2:10 [KJV])
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

(2Thess 2:11 [KJV])
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:



(Luke 12:4 [KJV])
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

(Luke 12:5 [KJV])
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

(Heb 13:6 [KJV])
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.


(Isa 46:9 [KJV])
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

(1John 2:15 [KJV])
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.


(1Pet 3:15 [KJV])
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:


Attributes of God


God is a Tri-unity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the creator of all things. He is infinite and perfect, eternally existing in three equal persons, each possessing the nature of deity, as well as the characteristics of personality. He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.

Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: KJV

Isa 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. KJV

Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: KJV

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.  KJV

Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? KJV

Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. KJV

Acts 2:1-47  1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10  Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13  Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.  14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.  37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.  42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.  KJV

2Cor 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.  KJV

Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. KJV

The Holy Spirit gives to us power, love and a sound mind as mentioned by Paul:

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Love (agape) Used in The Bible 281 Times But 23 Times in 1 John

Sometimes I like to see how often an important word or phrase is used in the Bible and then examine how it is used.  We all should know that love is a very important part of being a christian.  Jesus said we show our love for Him by keeping his commandments.  Also, we know that God loved us first and we must love our neighbors in turn.

And I enjoy pondering the fact that we are told not to love the things that are in the world.  I take every verse of the Bible as it is written.  If God says any man that loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, then I believe exactly that.  So that is saying simply do not love the world.  If you love the world then you prefer the world over the heavenly home we should be looking forward to with Jesus.

What is love?  Read on:

(1John 2:5 [KJV])
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

(1John 2:15 [KJV])
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

(1John 3:1 [KJV])
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

(1John 3:11 [KJV])
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

(1John 3:14 [KJV])
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

(1John 3:16 [KJV])
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

(1John 3:17 [KJV])
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

(1John 3:18 [KJV])
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

(1John 3:23 [KJV])
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

(1John 4:7 [KJV])
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

(1John 4:8 [KJV])
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

(1John 4:9 [KJV])
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

(1John 4:10 [KJV])
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

(1John 4:11 [KJV])
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

(1John 4:12 [KJV])
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

(1John 4:16 [KJV])
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

(1John 4:17 [KJV])
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

(1John 4:18 [KJV])
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

(1John 4:19 [KJV])
We love him, because he first loved us.

(1John 4:20 [KJV])
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

(1John 4:21 [KJV])
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

(1John 5:2 [KJV])
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

(1John 5:3 [KJV])
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.





Some Interesting Connections Between Islam, New Age Movement, Luciferianism, the United Nations, Grace Movement, Prosperity Gospel and Biblical Christianity

Something I've noticed some time ago is that it just seems everyone you read about that is an expert on religion has a hammer to bash the doctrine that Jesus Christ taught. Be it Islam that says Jesus is not the Son of God, or New Age teachers that promote satanic writers like Helena Blavatsky (Wayne Dyar), or Deepak Chopra who speaks of Jesus as if he were a myth but lifts up Muhammad who won converts by the sword and was given his information through the channeling of an evil spirit.

Then you've got the wolves in sheep clothing teaching a worldly prosperity gospel or a hyper grace gospel.  Joel Osteen teaches very little that is in the bible and what he does say is taken out of context.  Joseph Prince tells people they can leave all the worries and guilt of sin at the door after they are on team Jesus.  Why?  Once you are saved you just sit back and let God do all the work, I mean he is going to get all the glory you know.  That is the kind of attitude that God will not be satisfied with. Those doctrines are pleasing to the sinners and natural man.  True conversion and being born again by the Holy Spirit is tough if you are being told the wrong stuff.

To all these false teachers I give a big thumbs down and hope maybe they will see the error in their ways.  Then they will need to admit that Jesus is the only way to salvation and repent of their false teachings.  God will even forgive these guys if they come to repentance.  It isn't too late for them to get out of the fast lane on the highway to hell they are all on.

Wayne Dyar Supports and Promotes Satanic Doctrine

I'm not certain if Wayne Dyar is a victim of the New Age movement or if he is in fact a willing participant.  But I've ready many of Wayne Dyar's books and I've recommended them as well.  What I did not realize at the time and this is before he was talking about Deepak Chopra and getting very spiritual, but now I can say with confidence that Wayne has gone off the deep end into the use of channeling to write and supporting known Luciferian Madame Helena Blavatsky's anti christian book called "Secret Doctrine".

You can get the book for free online to check the facts if you care to.  But if you are a christian and you also like supplementing your spiritual life with the readings of Wayne Dyar then I would suggest you pick your side.  Do you choose Satan or do you choose Jesus?  You cannot choose both.  Someone in my family that loves Wayne Dyar asked me if I thought he was evil.  At the time all I knew was that Wayne Dyar is new age and that he may be deceived.  But I had no idea that he actually promoted and praised a book called "Secret Doctrine" by Blavatsky.

Blavatsky says that the real god is Satan.  Blavatsky laid the groundwork through channeling this book from an evil spirit for Luciferianism.  This is the modern day secret society religion.  The founder of the North American Scottish Rite Freemasons Albert Pike was a follower of Blavatsky and Lucifer.  In his book "Morals and Dogma" which you can also get online for free he says that all Freemasons above the 32 degree know that the god which they worship is Lucifer which they call the Light Bearer.

So if Wayne Dyar has no issue with supporting a Luciferian's writings and praising those writings, then I say he is either deceived, possessed or purposefully serving Satan.  Either way, without a belief that Jesus is the only way to eternal life and repentance Wayne Dyar will not be with the Saints very soon at the Rapture.
