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 3:16 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.

Matt 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

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

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(John 1:12 [KJV])
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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


(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.

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.

Keith Green's Story

Imagine Not Having Access to the Bible In Your Language

Now imagine what it would be like the day you received this.  Here is what that was like for a Tribe in Indonesia


Are You Entering Through The Straight Gate and Narrow Way Which Leads to Life, Or Are You On A Wide Path To Destruction?

Paul Washer classic quote: "I don't know why your clapping....I'm talking about you"


(Matt 7:13 [KJV])
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

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

(Matt 7:15 [KJV])
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

(Matt 7:16 [KJV])
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

(Matt 7:17 [KJV])
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

(Matt 7:18 [KJV])
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

(Matt 7:19 [KJV])
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

(Matt 7:20 [KJV])
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

(Matt 7:21 [KJV])
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

(Matt 7:22 [KJV])
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

(Matt 7:23 [KJV])
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(Matt 7:24 [KJV])
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

(Matt 7:25 [KJV])
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

(Matt 7:26 [KJV])
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:

(Matt 7:27 [KJV])
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.





Are you a true Christian? Are you sensitive to sin and repent when you sin?

The Christian choice is the only way to provide eternal life.  Jesus Christ is the only way to our heavenly Father.  We must choose to follow Jesus Christ, and if we do that and believe in Him then we will be saved. We become born again by the power of the Holy Spirit changing our lives and regenerating our minds daily.  We love our fellow man so that those that do not believe may feel the love of God.

How Much Will It Cost To Be a Christian After the Rapture

Paul Washer says, "they will come after us, they will come after our children......the net even now is closing around your children....you will be isolated from society.....until finally we are silenced.....for being radicals....you will go down as the biggest bigots in history.....and you wonder why they come out of schools not serving Christ....you fed them to the wolves."

In history Christians are martyred for crimes not for a public glorifying of these people.  We will be persecuted and accused by man for hideous crimes.  Be ready to lose everything.


The persecution of christians is happening now in the US.  Spiritual warfare is in full swing.  We are being silenced and in many cases there is a requirement by the government to lift up abominations in order to do business with the government (LGBT mandates).




Detoxify Your Life

Detoxify Your Body and Give Yourself the Best Chance for Purification

Not to sound all new age like, but as an American there are some things I've noticed for a long time.  We depend on doctors that are educated in a system that promotes making money of patients that are sick.  If we could all the sudden cure cancer or rid ourselves of bothersome allergies or skin conditions simply by doing things that are preventative and almost free then the healthcare system and pharmaceutical industry would experience a crash.

We are rarely exposed to information in the media that promotes things that are truly healing other than diet and exercise.  Most people are so addicted to processed foods and watching tv that we see the good it does  to the population in general simply by going out to our local malls or Wal Mart and just observing all the overweight unhappy looking people.

I believe these things to be the essentials that can give you the best detoxifying results both in your body and your mind.

1. Stop watching TV and the news and get rid of your cable.

2. Don't waste your time playing video games especially any of the violent ones.

3. Exercise at least half an hour daily (walking at a minimum).

4. Read the Bible because it really is food for the soul.

5. Pray alone everyday multiple times throughout the day.  Also pray with others whenever you have the opportunity.

6.. Find out the best methods for a colon cleanse and liver detox and liver cleanse.

7. Kill parasites in your body and cleanse them out by fasting and a colon cleanse.

8. If you do Facebook or any social sites consider deleting your account.  Keep up with family and friends via email or phone.  We become so disconnected to the people in our life by connecting digitally.

Imagine your life full of little distractions, no major health issues, the ability to sleep, no anxiety, and joy filled.  First of all you get that primarily from being regenerated by the Holy Spirit.  But it also doesn't hurt to stay healthy in body by removing the toxins from your body and the mental distractions from your life.

These things are not hard to do.  For a long time my wife and I agreed that we should get rid of cable and start reading the Bible together as a family and do a fast and you get the idea.  It wasn't until we started making a real effort that our lives were changed for the better.

I don't spend time talking about what happened on some tv show or hooking up with my pepes on Facebook.

Time is short.  Use it wisely.

Revelation 3 The Lukewarm Christian

Because Revelation 3:15-17 states the following:

(Rev 3:15 [KJV])
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

(Rev 3:16 [KJV])
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

(Rev 3:17 [KJV])
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:


So what is the lukewarm person?  If someone says that they are rich and need nothing and do not know that they are wretched and miserable and poor, and blind and naked....this person will be spued out of the mouth of Jesus.

I don't want to add or take away from these verses but it seems to me that someone that is hot is someone that is devoted to God.  Realizing that you need God and that Jesus is the only way for us humans and that without Him we are not good.  We need God and we are wretched, but by faith we are righteous.


I've read some teachings that seem to define what hot, cold and lukewarm is that is different from what the book of Revelation actually states.  To all those I would say that you are adding to the book of Revelation and there are repercussions when you do that.  False teachers twist the gospel to fit their doctrines.  The doctrines that do this typically attract members through carnal means and play down on the importance of repenting of our sins and focusing on the spirit not on the world.

Sheep in Wolves Clothing?


Former lead guitarist of the successful metal band Korn left the group in 2005 due to a conversion to Christianity.  The first thing I think of when I see metal bands is usually, "hey, that looks satanic."  So when I ran across a video about this Brian "Head" Welch I had my doubts this guy is really a saved Christian.

It is 2013 and it appears as if this Brian Welch is still on fire for Jesus.  I say that based on this 2012 interview here below.  Some things that stand out to me are that he professes Jesus as his Lord and Savior, speaks of being saved from his drug addiction only through Jesus, is driven to speak boldly about his wrong ways in the past.  He also spoke of how important it was for him to be closer to God.  To read the Bible as much as possible and not waste any more time not getting to know God.  

I can relate to what he says about these things and my feelings are this man has been saved and placed in front of all the people that have in the past and may now idolize this band or this man.  How many people may this guy have helped save?  I'm not sure but God is amazing in how he can change people.  Brian seems to be an example of the miracle of the regeneration of the mind by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This interview between Head and Fieldy (bassist for Korn) it was really nice to see the work that God did in Fieldy's life as well.

I'd say these are some sheep in wolves clothing.

The Cheap Grace of Joseph Prince Versus the Bible

Cheap Grace Versus the Bible


What kind of child would you get if you raised your child the following way?

1. Raise them to believe that they can really do no wrong as long as they believe in their parents.

2. Give them anything their worldly heart desires based on the fact that they still believe in their parents.

3. Whenever they get caught doing something wrong, instead of punishing them you give them a hug and tell them you love them.

4. Heck, you give the a raise in their allowance because they got caught sinning just so they don't feel too bad about their disobedience.

5. You tell your children that instead of thanking you for everything they have you just tell them to sit back because all the glory goes to the parents so if all the glory goes to them then they should do all the work.



You would end up with a child that is confused, worldy, spoiled and without divine intervention likely to go to hell.


So why would God treat us as an irresponsible parent might?  He wouldn't and doesn't and never has.




Joseph Prince says, "It is the gift of no condemnation that gives people the power to sin no more."

This is not accurate

(Rom 8:1 [KJV])
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.






Let's see what else God has to say about repentance, grace, sin, and other things that are distorted by Joseph Prince.


(Acts 20:21 [KJV])
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.


(Acts 26:20 [KJV])
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.


Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matt 25:11; Luke 6:46; Luke 13:25; Acts 19:13; Rom 2:13; Jas 1:22; 22 Many

will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Jer 14:14; Jer 27:15; Luke 13:26; 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never

knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Ps 6:8; Matt 25:12; Matt 25:41;





(2Cor 11:13 [KJV])
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

(2Cor 11:14 [KJV])
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

(2Cor 11:15 [KJV])
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.


(Gal 6:7 [KJV])
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.




(Ps 6:8 [KJV])
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.


(Matt 25:41 [KJV])
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:



(Gal 1:9 [KJV])
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.



(Rom 6:20 [KJV])
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

(John 8:34 [KJV])
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.




Matthew 7:12-14
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Luke 6:31; 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to

destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:1  Luke 13:24; 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it


(Luke 13:24 [KJV])
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.


(Matt 23:28 [KJV])
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.



(Jas 4:14 [KJV])
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Luke 12:31

31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 1Chr 3:13; Ps 37:25; 32



(Luke 9:23 [KJV])
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.





(1Tim 1:9 [KJV])
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,


Matthew 22:40
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Deut 6:5; Deut 10:12; Deut 30:6; Luke 10:27; 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt

love thy neighbour as thyself. Lev 19:18; Mark 12:31; Rom 13:9; Gal 5:14; Eph 5:2; 1Thess 4:9; Jas 2:8; 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.


(John 15:9 [KJV])
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

(John 15:10 [KJV])
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.


(2Thess 2:11-12 [KJV])
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.



John 15:14 [KJV])
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

(John 15:15 [KJV])
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

(John 15:16 [KJV])
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

(John 15:17 [KJV])
These things I command you, that ye love one another.

(John 15:18 [KJV])
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

(John 15:19 [KJV])
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Interesting Points Placed in the Congressional Record Back in the Early 1960s

The following is the list of Communist goals contained in The Naked Communist:[2] (Note: there is no such list in the original edition of the book.)
U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
Internationalize the Panama Canal.
Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

How I Know That Joseph Prince Is A False Teacher...Easy

Oh these false teachers are everywhere.  It seems that the most excited people I've talked to about religion in person that is in the last six months have all either worshipped a false god or follow a false doctrine.  I've had Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, Ammillenialists, and recently I've been introduced to a new false doctrine.  This newly discovered (by me anyway) doctrine is that of the Grace Movement...aka Joseph Prince.  This load of dung is a mixture of hyper dispensationalism, coupled with cheap grace, and a large serving of prosperity gospel topped off with a splash of pride.  Sounds like a recipe invented by Satan.

It came to no surprise that this Joseph Prince just happens to be buddies with no other than Joel Osteen.  I'm not going to go too far into studying how wrong this doctrine is because others have done that already from what I can see on the inter-webs.

But just cutting to the chase I'll list some attributes that demonstrate the signs of a false religion and a fraud.

1. New Creation Church in Singapore has over 60,000 members in Singapore alone.

2. Joseph Prince preaches that we don't even need to do anything after we believe because all the glory goes to God, so let him do all the work.  The pride and arrogance the man speaks of God.  He wraps a morsel of truth up and packages the rest in lies.

3. Cheap grace doctrine does not produce a changed man. or a new creature and we know what Jesus said about being saved.  Unless you are born again of the Holy Spirit and become a new creature you will not have everlasting life.

4. In reference to #3 above, I find if quite ironic that they named the church "New Creation Church" when what Joe preaches does not lead to a new creation but rather the second death.

5. Joseph Prince is buddies with Joel Osteen......yea, that's no good.

When I think of where the true believers are in these end times, my first thought is not at the largest church that promotes worldly success and brings in hundreds of millions of dollars all the while promoting the easy wide gate to destruction.

Quick question for you that read the Bible:

1. How did Jesus say we believers show our love for Him?  Was it something about keeping his commandments?

2. Which people does Jesus tell to depart from Him those workers of iniquity?  Sounds like the followers of Joseph Prince.

If you have been boondoggled into believing what Joseph Prince promotes please look deeper into the Bible.  Read the Bible and don't listen to some con artist or even me for that matter.  Read the  Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you.  God will show you if you humbly seek for the truth in His word.  Read daily.  Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  With faith comes grace and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and repentance and a regeneration of our minds by the power of the Holy Spirit.  We change and we are aware of our sins even more after we are saved.  When you are made aware of your righteousness in your faith you are also aware of your sin.  You should feel bad for sin and ask for forgiveness and turn from your sin.  Sinning causes a separation from God and our fellowship with God is stronger when we are walking on the narrow path.  Sin is a big deal.

Satan Hijacks and Invents All He Can To Trick All He Can Into Everlasting Damnation

Here is a list I've compiled of the things, institutions, organizations, structures that Satan has hijacked:


The Great Pyramid of Giza

The United Nations

Almost all large denominations of Christian Churches in the United States

Islam

Secular Humanism

The idea that we can by doing good change the world and make it a better place without God.

TV

Main Stream Media

Music

Movies 

Sustainable Growth Movement

Socialism

Communism

Mandatory Public Education

Adding of poison to municipal water systems (primary chemical fluoride)

Theory of Evolution

Catholic Church

Presbyterian Church

Unitarian Church

Mormonism

Freemasons

Self Help Books

Promotion and lobbying of equal rights for homosexuals

Lifting up abominations

Distracting people from God, reading the Bible, and prayer.......

I could just keep going, but I think I'll stop now.  This world we live in is coming to an end and for that I am very thankful.  Because what that means for saved Christians is a Rapture/removal from the wrath that is about to be poured out upon the world.  The bible describes the Great Tribulation as the worst time the world will ever experience.  Jesus said a lot about that in Matthew 24. 

Since most Christians do not even know what their church teaches on end times it is likely they will not see this coming.  When I say Christians I mean people that belong to a Christian church.  I'm not sure what percent of these people are actually saved.  I can say that I pray for myself that I'm worthy to counted as saved and am spared the Great Tribulation, one world government, Mark of the Beast, and one world religion that this world is trending toward.  Not one jot or tittle of the Word of God will go unfulfilled so expect these things to literally happen.

Does Pope Francis Work For Satan?

The answer is yes, most definitely whether he knows it or not:

This Pope Francis says some things that are not biblical.  Can you pick them out?

"The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class! We are created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us all! And we all have a duty to do good. And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace. If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: we will meet one another there.”


"Today is [the feast of] Santa Rita, Patron Saint of impossible things – but this seems impossible: let us ask of her this grace, this grace that all, all, all people would do good and that we would encounter one another in this work, which is a work of creation, like the creation of the Father. A work of the family, because we are all children of God, all of us, all of us! And God loves us, all of us! May Santa Rita grant us this grace, which seems almost impossible. Amen.”


I don't have time to point everything out that is wrong, but I'll just focus on a few things first off:


(Matthew 7:15 [KJV])
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

It seems to me that Pope Francis is working for Satan.  Calling humans children of God simply because we are made in the image and likeness of God is false teaching.

"A work of the family, because we are all children of God, all of us, all of us!" says Pope Francis..


I just have one questions for this guy: "Frank, have you read the Bible?  My Bible doesn't say what your Bible says.  Heck, I don't think your Bible says what you are saying."




So HOW can it be that the leader of the largest denomination of Christians in the world does not know the Bible?!  Or does he know it but has cleverly changed it for his own purpose.



(2 Corinthians 11:13-15 [KJV])
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.


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



If you are an atheist and you happen to read the news lately and see that Pope Francis has declared that all men are redeemed by Jesus Christ, even atheists, do you then think that you are going to be fine when you die as an atheist?

If you are a Catholic and you see that your Pope has stated that all humans are children of God because we are created in his image and likeness, do you really believe that is how we are children of God?  If so then I'll direct you to read the bible which contradicts the Pope Frank.

(Galatians 3:26 [KJV])
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.



Do you choose to believe the Bible or your Pope?  Think carefully on this one because this choice is very important:


(2 John 1:9-10 [KJV])
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:


(1 Timothy 6:3-5 [KJV])
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.



(Romans 3:10 [KJV])
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

(Psalms 14:3 [KJV])
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

(Psalms 53:3 [KJV])
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.


Pope Francis stated in a homily recently that all men are redeemed by the blood of Christ.  Even atheists are redeemed.  I don't have a copy of the homily, but from my understanding he did not go further to say that you need to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved.


(Matt 4:17 [KJV])
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.



Repent
G3340 μετανοέω metanoeo (met-an-o-eh'-o) v.
1. to think differently or afterwards, i.e. reconsider (morally, feel compunction)
[from G3326 and G3539]
KJV: repent


To repent means to turn away from sin.  Regret, sorrow, and those types of feelings do happen when we repent, but when you are made aware of your sin you are called to realize that your sin is wrong and causes you to grow further from God.  You must turn away and ask God to forgive you of your sins.


(Rom 6:23 [KJV])
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


(Rev 2:16 [KJV])
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.



(Isaiah 64:6 [KJV])
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

You need to be born again by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.

(John 3:3 [KJV])
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.




Jesus tells us in the Bible that we must  follow a path only few will find. All the directions you need are in the Bible. If you read the Bible and believe in Jesus Christ and pray to the heavenly Father in the name of Jesus daily you will be on your way to growing closer to God.  The Holy Spirit can teach you if you have received grace by your faith then you will be changed into a new creature.

Or you can remain an atheist until you die and when you die your spirit will reside in Hades until you are judged on judgment day.  After that you will be cast into the Lake of Fire forever.  At that point you will not be an atheist, but you will be a true believer in Jesus.  Satan believes in Jesus too, but he does not have salvation.  Even a very good atheist is going to go to hell unless come to faith in Jesus Christ and repent of their sins.

A great deception will come upon those who do not love the truth:

(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 [KJV])
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.




(John 8:44 [KJV])
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

(John 8:45 [KJV])
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.




(John 14:6 [KJV])
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


The Holy Spirit indwells saved believers thereby convicting them of their sins causing them to repent and regenerating their minds.




God wants none to be damned to hell. God even wants atheists and unsaved believers to be saved.  If you want to contact me about what you might need to do to be saved you can email me: abiblicalchristian@gmail.com



(Rom 3:24-27 [KJV])
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.


Romans 1:21-32

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

6 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them

How Has Becoming a New Creation Changed Your Life?


What is your story?

We know by the words Jesus spoke that we are to become a new creation.  As believers we have the Holy Spirit indwelling our bodies and it follows that we are convicted of our sins thereby our habits and desires for things of the world shrivel.  We become new creatures.  Some probably to more or less of a degree than others, but I believe the Gospel teaches that all believers become saved and saved believers have the Holy Spirit indwelling them.  If we feed on the word of God daily and pray daily and attempt to die to the flesh daily the change in our being is pronounced in most cases.


For me, I grew up a Christian but did not read the Bible or pray much at all.  I was not close to God nor did I even know that was a problem.  All the crazy events in the world going on these days drive many to look for the truth in the world.  It seems we can't trust the mainstream news outlets.  But if we fill our lives with internet surfing, facebook drama, distractions of spectator sports and our hobbies then we lose precious time needed to gain wisdom from the Bible, prayer and living a life intended to be holy.  We don't take the time to think about all our daily sins and repent as we should.

After realizing that the Bible was really true in all its parts, I woke up.  The thought that went through my mind was, "dang, I've never even read the Bible.  I think God would be very angry at me for not reading and studying the Bible.  That is another supernatural gift he gave the world.  All the prophecy both fulfilled and unfulfilled, the story of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, His sacrifice on the cross as a propitiation for the sins of the world, and the hope that believers have and look forward to after our earthly lives are complete.


This deep undertanding was more fully understood for me when I finally discovered listening to Paul Washer that God really did have to send his son, Jesus in the flesh to live a perfect life because God cannot lift up the wicked.  We are all wicked and vile without God.  God is just and he will not lift up sinners.  With the propitiation that Jesus Christ provided we that believe in Him are set apart as righteous through our faith in Jesus Christ. There is nothing we can do to secure our salvation.  It truly is a gift from God the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.



There was a time when I believed that the most important thing in the world for my purpose was to have a fun life.  If I would have understood that our life here is just a vapor that will lead to everlasting life or everlasting damnation then I would have thought about things differently in my past ways.

Jesus died to save the world, and all that believe in him are saved.  And it had to be Him.  He died with criminals and as a criminal, yet he never sinned.  That is some powerful love.


Now the big things in my life that have changed are that I don't listen to music or watch TV.  We canceled cable.  We stopped seeking out a church that we thought would be good enough.  We started doing Home Church at our house and that has been a great spiritual growth experience.  I read the Bible daily, pray daily, and notice my sins I believe immediately and repent as soon as possible.

One major trait I've noticed (my wife and daughter too have noticed) is that I don't seem to goof around all the time.  I know that may not sound like a good thing, but this is something that has happened and I believe it is for the good. I don't typically occupy my mind with silly thoughts.  Occasionally I find something funny to say, but it usually has something to do with false religions and how ridiculous those are.  I think my daughter will survive, but she did say that I'm not funny anymore.  Something else that has changed is that my daughter tells me that she loves me almost every night before she goes to bed.  That is much better to hear than her laughing at my old silly jokes.


Desire for Career:

I don't have a burning desire to climb the corporate ladder, or become a travelling consultant.  Also, I've given up my insane focus I had on trying to come up with ways to make a lot of money.  I thank God for the job I do have and I'm fine with just that.




My love for God and knowledge of the Bible and prayer life is stronger than ever.  I have a fire that I do not believe will ever go away.  That fire is for God and living as an obedient child.



Share the story of your change.  What things do you do now that you didn't before and what things have you cast off?

Let's Be Honest: Do You Really Believe the Word Of God?


Do You Really Believe the Word Of God?  Or do you only believe His word when it agrees with your church doctrine?

It is a pretty big deal because God doesn't care about your religion.  You must follow the doctrine of Jesus Christ which is only fully understood by also studying the prophecy that Jesus Christ the Savior of the world gave to John in the Book of Revelation.  Ignore that and you will not know

Ask any christian this question and they will likely tell you they believe what the Bible says.  But most christians go to churches that do not teach much truth, nor do they teach the entire Bible of which approximately 27% of Scripture is prophecy.  And if all prophecy is given by God that doesn't allow for private interpretation, then how can anyone look at a passage with literal prophecy fulfillment and add a couple at the end that have not come to pass yet and somehow classify them as symbolic or allegorical.

I submit that you cannot.  It is confusing and God is not the author of confusion.

So let's do a gut check here.  Read the following Scripture given to Mary in Luke 1:26-33.  List every thing that was prophesied, and if it literally came to pass.  If you determine that there are any verses that have not come to pass then declare if you think this will literally come to pass as well.

If you answered no this will not literally come to pass to any that have not come to pass then explain how it is that you say you believe what the Bible says. Or if you say it has already come to pass then you are just making up something to fit your doctrine.  Or you are doing something that is what I consider to be adding to the interpretation of the Bible for your own private interpretation and that is symbolizing prophecy with no indication from the Bible stating that this prophecy is a symbol.




Luke 1:23-36

26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,


27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.


28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.


29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.


30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.


31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.


32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:


33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.


It shocks some to hear that some people may say that the prophecy of the Lord God giving Jesus the trhone of his father David, and that Jesus shall reign over the house of Jacob forever and that his kingdom there shall be no end has either already come true "literally" (don't know how you can explain that).

Or maybe you just say it was fulfilled symbolically.  A symbol of what?  Jesus ruling in His current everlasting kingdom?  If so then why would the angel have told Mary all these other prophecies that literally came true.  Only to leave the last couple verses to cause confusion?  Or maybe the angel was just a little wrong.  Nope that wouldn't work either if you believe what the Bible says.

Maybe you just don't believe what God has told us in His word?



Let's look at some things Jesus Christ the Savior of the world says in the Book of Revelation 22:16-19



16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.


Notice that Jesus is telling us in Revelation 22:16 : "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these. I am the root and the offspring of David...."  So we can see that Jesus is literally declaring that He is the offspring of David.  I don't think he means that in a symbolic way.



So here are my thoughts: If you are making stuff up when interpreting the Bible you run the risk of making God enforce some very bad things upon you.  He does say in verse 18 and that "any man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plages that are written in this book".  And He goes on to say that "..if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city,.."

Looks to me as if you are playing with fire if you are symbolizing anything in the Book of Revelation.  I wouldn't do it.  And if you go to a church that does that you may want to find yourself a new church.

Why Amillennialism Diminishes the Fire for The Word of God

You might be an Amillennialist if:

You have ever believed that God has given all the promises originally given to Israel to the Church

You might be an Amillennialist if:

That there really isn't going to be a literal Antichrist, or Mark of the Beast, or one world government, or one world religion as prophesied in the Book of Revelation

You might be an Amillennialist if:

That the reign of Jesus Christ on earth is now

You might be an Amillennialist if:

That the Time of Jacob's Trouble and The Tribulation is the same as generalized tribulation or troubles and is not a specific 7 year period of time that ends with Jesus Christ coming back to defeat Satan and chain him in hell.

And you might be an Amillennialist if:

That Satan is chained up currently thereby holding back the evil in the world (this one is pretty funny because the world is so evil and growing more evil every day).



I say all this to relieve some frustration over discussions with an admitted No Millennialist/ Amillennialist that I have tried to study the Bible with but have found it too frustrating to continue.


I've also finished reading the majority of the Old Testament and New Testament the past 2 months.  I wanted to make sure I was seeing the views I hold as coming from God and no other source.


What is the danger in believing in Amillennialism?

There are some big deal things that Satan achieves when people believe that there will be no Millennial kingdom.:


1. Causes people to falsely interpret Scripture different ways.  If Scripture can be interpreted and not conflict with the doctrine of Replacement Theology/Amillennialism, then you can keep it.  But if not then you must spiritualize the meaning of the Scripture in order that the doctrine of man is not altered.

2. By using two techniques to interpret Scripture the student of this doctrine becomes confused easily. I suppose that those that do not believe that what Jesus said is literally true that the Holy Spirit is not going to show that person what one that believes the word of God says.


Outcome of Amillennialism:

Produces Lukewarm Christians (God spews lukewarm Christians from his mouth)

Quenches the fire for the word of God


So to summarize, when amillennial doctrine is believed the deceived is losing sight of the truth in the Bible, thereby failing to believe God's word these individuals can fall prey to Satan's evil much more swiftly.

God wants all to be saved and we all fall short of the glory of God.  I do not know all, but I put my faith in the Bible fully.  Never take the word of a man over what the Bible teaches.  But you may not know what the Bible teaches so get to reading and stop worrying about what your religion teaches.
