Light versus Darkness

Disciples of Jesus, as members of the Church that He is building, are to be salt and light in and to the world. The true remnant Church is in a spiritual war against forces of darkness manifesting their works through available people on earth. For example, Satan and his forces often find willing subjects to work in and through in entertainment, in politics, in the media, in education, in finance and business, and even in parts of the church. How sad! How sad that parts of the church that are to be victorious over Satan and his forces have become instruments for them.

I have said for some time that people are identifying who they are and where they stand. It is happening all around us. There is so little discernment in many parts of the church, however, that many Christians are like the blind leading the blind, rather than true salt and light. I am going to help those who want to have ears to hear and eyes to see.

Concerning the upcoming elections in the United States, true followers of Jesus will vote and cast their vote based only on godly morality and righteousness. Furthermore, they will make their decisions based on two major areas that trump all other issues. Those areas are biblical marriage and sanctity of life. Some may say, “Oh, but what about the economy?” I say do not be duped by the spirit of the world. Others might add freedom of speech or freedom of religion. The economic problems and the loss of freedoms have come about because disciples of Jesus have not been salt and light. Our societal problems are, at their roots, signs of a greater spiritual problem.

I will also say that our problems will not be over after the election regardless of who becomes president. No political party has the solutions that are ultimately needed. What is ultimately needed is a faithful Remnant Church made up of born again, Spirit-baptized disciples, just like in the book of Acts. They will have Christ Jesus formed within, be sanctified by real biblical truth, will be united in faith, and will take the true biblical gospel of the kingdom to all nations.

This faithful Remnant Church will have fulfilled 2 Chronicles 7:14 and 16:9. They will be repentant and totally loyal to the Lord! Their loyalty will have moved from following and defending Church tradition to following and obeying Jesus Christ and His Word of truth.

You might say, “I can do that.” Well, let’s see! If you are Church of Christ or Roman Catholic, can you repent of saying you are the only true church. If you are Baptist, no matter what flavor, can you repent of saying there are no more apostles and prophets and of adding to and taking away what Scripture says about the Holy Spirit and His work. If you are Pentecostal, Charismatic, etc.,
can you repent of going beyond the work of the Spirit and get rid of the wild fire. What about you, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Home Church advocates, Messianic Jews … can you get the message and wake up?

If you had a strong negative reaction to my words, then perhaps it’s time to examine yourself to see if you are holding onto a golden calf in your life. These things that I’ve addressed are keeping us from being salt and light. Many are concerned about these issues, but are we concerned enough to repent and make the needed changes? In the end it will be Power vs. power.

Either godly restoration will take place and the Church will become what Jesus wanted on this earth, or there are going to be increasing devilish storms, regardless of election results. It will be immediately worse if Christians do not become salt and light concerning the upcoming election. It is not about race or religion, the economy, etc. It is about godly morality and righteousness. If there is not real and continuous change in the Church, darkness will prevail as never before. The war will continue until Jesus returns, and persecution will increase against the real Church. But that real Spirit-led Church will be a force like you have never seen before.

Will it come in our day? It depends on how many have ears to ear, eyes to see, and the willingness to change. Godly morality and righteousness—If it doesn’t come in our day and you can look back from your future destination, you might not like what you see happening to your children and grandchildren. Let’s join together and get about our Lord’s work! Let’s be light that dispels the darkness!

Prophetic Words of Revelation (August 2012)

Lord God,

By Your Spirit and Word make the complete work of Jesus Christ a reality to us in all things.

In Jesus Name,

Thank You!

Concerning the upcoming elections in the United States, true followers of Jesus will vote and cast their vote based only on godly morality and righteousness. Furthermore, they will make their decisions based on two major areas that trump all other issues. Those areas are biblical marriage and sanctity of life. Some may say, “Oh, but what about the economy?” I say do not be duped by the spirit of the world. Others might add freedom of speech or freedom of religion. The economic problems and the loss of freedoms have come about because disciples of Jesus have not been salt and light.

They will have Christ Jesus formed within, be sanctified by real biblical truth, will be united in faith, and will take the true biblical gospel of the kingdom to all nations. (For complete message see Light versus Darkness dated 8/7/2012)

God is sending true prophets (Jeremiah 7: 13, 25) to His people (Jew and Gentile), the body of Christ. Most members of the body are not presently listening to them because of the division in the Church. The various divisive parts of the Church only listen to certain ministers and certain kinds of messages because they have been deafened and blinded by man's doctrines and traditions. Our only hope is that enough will repent and have ears to hear and eyes to see. Will you be among those who do? (8/9/2012)

There are two primary reasons why Christians do not have faith to receive healing from God: 1) they have not studied the Word in such a way as to discover that it is God’s will to heal them; 2) they have not been properly taught by their church that it is God’s will to heal them.

It is the responsibility of each individual disciple to study the Word to show themselves approved [unto God] (2 Tim. 2:15). It is also the responsibility of each individual disciple to search the Scriptures to find out if their church and the ministers to whom they listen are ministering the pure truth in everything they say and/or write. (8/5/2012) (See 8/17/2012 message titled "God's Word Still Brings Healing" for entire message).

It is about Biblical marriage and Sanctity of Life and whether true Christians will unite in faith and stand together for Jesus and His Word rightly divided. (8/2/2012)
