Reversing the Course by Making the Necessary Corrections

 

In America, many preachers of the past and present, by their change and distortion of the word of God, have paved the way for governmental and judicial leaders to change and distort our Constitution. This has put all Americans on a course of confusion, division, loss of freedoms, and destruction. 

The only way this course will be corrected is by enough true followers of Jesus Christ humbling themselves and being washed with the water of the Word, which will produce a glorious church that has Christ formed within. 

For those who want to correct the course, one major problem must be discerned and overcome. There are too many voices in the pulpits of American churches proclaiming too many things that are not of Jesus Christ and His word rightly divided. If you want to be a part of restoring the church in America and thereby saving America for yourself and your descendents, you have no choice but to train your senses to discern what is truth and what is not truth and to quit listening to those erroneous voices.

The place to begin is to get to know the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit and Teacher of truth. If you will submit yourself to Him, He will guide you, and He will teach you. He will join you with others who have yielded all to Him, and together, you will be witnesses of Jesus and His kingdom to those within and without the church. You can be a vital part of restoring the church and thereby saving America for yourself and your descendants. See John 16:13-14, John 14:26, 1 Timothy 4:1, 1 Corinthians 2:10-13.

Is there not a cause? There is a cause! The Holy Spirit is calling you to answer that cause and do your part in correcting the course and helping reverse things within the church and in America.

The Promotion of Islam

I am troubled about many things that are going on in the United States, but what troubles me the most is the lack of awareness and concern of Americans, especially among those who call themselves Christians. One of my major concerns is the promotion, spread, and growing influence of Islam, while true Christianity is coming under more and more attacks.

 Are you aware of just how much the systems of the world, including parts of the falling away church, are promoting Islam within our country? If you are informed and discerning, you see, and you see that it is on the rise. In some cases, it is open and flagrant, and in other cases, it is very subtle. I went to a high school football playoff game last night. At half time, one of the bands had a tribute to Arabian music from the past. Although disguised, it was a subtle promotion of Islam. I looked around and could find no one else who was the slightest bit aware of what was taking place. Did you hear about the school that is requiring students in a particular class to make certain declarations, such as "Allah is God" and that Islam and Christianity are similar? The bottom line is that Jesus and the Bible are being driven out of schools, even so-called Christian schools and universities, while the doors are being opened very wide for Allah and Islam.  

I am not writing this to incite, but to inform. I love people! I play basketball with a young man from Iran who is a Muslim. I befriend and communicate with him every time we see each other. This past year, I played basketball with four young guys from Nigeria. I developed friendships with them. All of a sudden, they were gone and are back in Nigeria. I pray for their protection and that they are not part of certain groups.

We have to have our eyes, natural and spiritual, open to what is going on in our country. If we are going to be productive witnesses of Jesus and His kingdom, we have to be wise and discerning. We have to not only know and be obedient to what the Lord Jesus and His kingdom require of us, we have to know and recognize what is going on around us. Ask the Lord Jesus to make your senses keen, so that you can discern both good and evil (Hebrews 5:14). Ask Him to open your spiritual eyes, not only to see what is going on in the visible world but, more importantly, to see what is going on in the unseen world. 

 

Shut Up Until Spoken To

In government, each and every response must be from the Spirit of Jesus Christ. He helped found this country and only He knows how to save it. Fleshly responses will, in fact, make things worse. Stay quiet unless spoken to by the Holy Spirit. Surely, there is at least one government leader who has an ear for Jesus Christ. If not, we can’t depend on government leadership anyway.

The bottom line is this: we are in a spiritual war, and we need spiritual warriors. In addition, we desperately need true prophets of God in the body of Christ. We need those who are anointed with the Holy Spirit and power, those who speak with the sword of the Spirit in such a way that makes the hearts of king’s flutter and their knees grow weak. Prophets are intercessors, but we also need intercessors.

Real Christians desperately need to pray with the spirit and with the understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15; Romans 8:26). If you don’t know how to pray with the spirit, you better learn how if you expect to deal with the footman and then run with the horses (Jeremiah 12:5). We are also dealing with things that go along with “this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21).

 

 

 

  

Communism Often Starts Slowly

Communism often starts slowly in a country. As its advocates gain ground and power they draw in more people by promising them one of two things. They promise power to some and the meeting of needs to others. They play on the desire to rule within many, especially those who consider themselves to be among the elite, while at the same time playing on the needs and discontents of the masses. They promise that their needs will be provided for while at the same time sowing discontent and discord. Often times they enlist preachers, who will help control, mislead and distract the people. 

Some of you are saying Amen about the preachers. You are very concerned about some Revs who are actively involved in certain actions, but you have bought in hook, line and sinker with some who are very deceptively leading the masses of Christians with other gospels. I watch closely who you post. If they are not, preaching the truth of Jesus and Him crucified and the gospel of the kingdom then call it what it is. It is another gospel. They may make you feel good and motivated and even teach you something about the Bible, but they are ministers of other gospels either deliberately or by lack of their knowledge.

The bottom line in all of this is that it is Satan still trying to overthrow God and His purposes on earth. He instills in people the desire to have power and control over others. Deception is always involved. Those wanting control over people are deceived and those who fall for what they are doing are deceived.

Satan is working to deceive the elite by offering them power and playing on their intellect, while working to deceive the masses by offering them plenty of fruit.

Which tree are you eating from? Are you training your senses to discern what is of Jesus Christ and what is of Satan? (Hebrews 5:14)

 

 

Jesus is Savior and King

If one has been born again, they know Jesus as Savior and therefore have eternal life. Due to incorrect teaching and tradition, there are many people who are members of Christian churches, both Catholic and Protestant, who are not born again and therefore do not know Jesus as Savior. This is a major problem. Let’s pray that truth comes to open their eyes.

Another major problem is that there are many who have eternal life because they have come to know Jesus as Savior, but are not experiencing and demonstrating the power and authority available to them to accomplish what Jesus wants of them on earth. Heaven is secure for them, but they are falling way short on earth! What is the answer?

The answer is that Jesus is not only Savior but also King! He is King of kings and Lord of lords. There is a biblical message that is intended to open the eyes of the lost, both in and out of the church, about Jesus as Savior. There is also a biblical message that is intended to open the eyes of those who know Jesus as Savior.  This message is about the power and authority available to born again Christians to be witnesses for Jesus (Acts 1:8), doing the works that He did while He was on earth (John 14:12). 

Jesus wants you to have eternal life by knowing Him as Savior (John 17:3), and He also wants you to know Him as King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev 17:14). You may have thought of these kings and lords only in the context of some proud earthly potentate finally bowing before Jesus. I agree that is a great need, and I want to see it happen, but I also want you to know that true Christians are to be a kingdom of priests (Rev 1: 6). When you were born again, you not only received eternal life that secures your future, but you also entered the kingdom of God (Col 1:13), which requires carrying on the works of Jesus on earth.  This can only be accomplished by realizing that Jesus is Savior and also King.  You have eternal life but are also a king and priest in the kingdom of God. This is why you need the baptism in the Spirit (Mt 3:11) as well as the gospel of the kingdom (Mt 4:23) in order to fulfill what Jesus, the Savior and King, wants of you on earth.

 The word “king” is associated with ruling, and the word “priest” is associated with making intercession. For the church Jesus is building to complete her earthly assignment, she must move with power and authority and make intercessions. The power and authority are associated with the baptism in the Spirit and the gospel of the kingdom.  In the name of Jesus, you will cast out demons and heal the sick once you are baptized in the Spirit and know the reality of Jesus being King of kings and Lord of lords and you being part of a kingdom of priests.  You will spread the message of Jesus as Savior, but you will also help witness the good news of the Kingdom of God in all the world as a witness to all nations (Mt 24:14).  

                                                                      

True Christianity versus Modern Christianity

True Christianity is not a religion; it is a body of believing disciples of Jesus who endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. It is one body with one Lord, one faith and one baptism (Ephesians 4: 3-5).

Modern Christianity is made up of many religions that may say that Jesus is Lord but have their own faith and baptism and are not in unity of the faith. I can name them if you can’t figure it out for yourself.

Yes, all or most all the parts of modern Christianity say and/or sing Jesus is Lord, but in reality He is not Lord for most of them. The biggest and surest evidence of that is the division within modern Christianity.

I have been trying to wake people up about the gospel of the kingdom. Only when one receives the revelation of the gospel of the kingdom can he or she fully understand and appreciate that Jesus is Lord. A key thing about the gospel of the kingdom is the rule of Jesus Christ. When Christians truly understand the kingdom and the King then and only then will we be one body with one Lord, one faith and one baptism.  Theories fade away, reality takes over and all the junk that has kept Christians divided falls away.  Come Lord Jesus!

What was the Gospel that Jesus Preached?

                             

Jesus went about teaching and preaching the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 4: 23). In the one time that Scripture records Him teaching in detail about being born again, He associates it with seeing and entering the kingdom of God (John 3). There is nothing more important than being born again, but true Christians  must come to know and understand that we are born again not only to be restored to God but to enter His kingdom (Colossians 1:13). Presently, there is more than meets the eye of most Christians to why Jesus said that we are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6: 33).

Most preachers and members of the various parts of the present day church, especially in the United States, have very little true understanding about the gospel of the kingdom. Parts of the church don’t even understand and/or preach the biblical truth about being born again, but even among those churches who do preach and teach the biblical truth of being born again only a few understand and preach the true gospel of the kingdom.

Caution:  Some will try to wiggle out of this by saying that they have been preaching and teaching about the kingdom of God, but the truth is that they have been preaching and teaching another gospel of the kingdom. The subject and the substance have to both be biblically true!

In conclusion, I encourage each true Christian to ask the Lord Jesus to give them spiritual revelation and understanding of the gospel of the kingdom and its importance as you study the word and what it says about Jesus and the gospel of the kingdom.  Matthew 24: 14 is one of the Scriptures that highlight its importance.  Also look again at how Luke summed up the ministry of the apostle Paul (Acts 28: 23, 31).

Remember the caution above because the enemy of Jesus and the body of Christ does not want you to know the gospel of the kingdom and he and his agents, human and otherwise, will do all they can to deceive you about the gospel of the kingdom and to distract you from becoming a witness both of Jesus and the kingdom of God.  Victory in Jesus!

 

 

 

 

My Dedication

I have dedicated my life to Jesus Christ and His word rightly divided.  My deepest desire is to know Jesus intimately, to glorify Him in all that I do and by the Spirit of God help bring forth a church that is maturely formed in Jesus’ image which advances His spiritual kingdom on earth. Therefore, I am always looking for true and mature ministers and disciples with whom I can be in unity of the faith and work with to help bring forth a faithful remnant Church that fulfills  Ephesians 4:13-16, Matthew 24:14 and Mark 16:15-20.

Equipping the Saints Properly

Note: It will take the spirit of wisdom and revelation (Ephesians 1:17) to understand and fully grasp this message!

Sanctification by the truth of God’s word is the key to there being the much needed remnant church that is united in the faith (John 17:17, Ephesians 4:13). There cannot be sanctification by truth unless ministers equip the saints properly (Ephesians 4:12, Hebrews 5:14-6:2). 

Paul is an excellent biblical example of one who equipped the saints properly. Luke was a close companion of Paul. The Spirit of God used Luke to write the book of Luke and the book of Acts. Luke summarized the entire ministry of Paul by writing that Paul preached the kingdom of God and taught the things of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 28:23, 31). Concerning the things of Jesus, Paul said that he determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2: 2).

What has your pastor determined to know among you? Are you being equipped properly? Are you being trained about the kingdom of God as well as Jesus and Him crucified? Could you summarize your pastor’s ministry in the same way Luke summarized Paul’s?  After all the time you have been with them would you summarize their ministry in the same way that Luke did with Paul’s? If not, then in all likelihood you are not being properly equipped.

Many people have had a teacher or a coach who was likeable, but they must admit when looking back that the teacher or coach did not equip them to their potential.  There is too much at stake on earth and in eternity for the members of the body of Christ not to be equipped to reach their full potential.  Jesus is the One who calls and equips ministers who will equip you properly. If you will earnestly seek Him, He will direct you to one or more ministers whom He has sent to equip the saints for the work of the ministry.

 

 

 

Will You Become a True and Unbiased Student of the Word of God?

The word of God is living and powerful and accomplishes great and mighty things when rightly divided and believed, but there is a major problem among most Christians that has to be solved before we can have the needed restoration, revival and awakening. The problem is that presently the word of God is made to change and adapt to the various preconceived doctrines and traditions of man that leaven the hearts and minds of most Christians. Will you be one that continues in the word without bias to anything of man until God’s truth sanctifies you and sets you free from everything that is not of God concerning the word of God?

Nebuchadnezzar and Grass

Would you like for the Nebuchadnezzar’s of the world to find out who really rules? If so, then become part of the faithful remnant church and witness the gospel of the kingdom in all the world as a witness to all nations (Matthew 24: 14).

First, make sure you are born again, then make sure you have really received the baptism in the Spirit (Matthew 3: 11) and become sanctified by truth (John 17: 17) by washing yourself with the water of the word (Ephesians 5: 26) which will free you from all the doctrines and traditions of man that have kept so many Christians in religious bondage. Faith and power will be released and proud leaders will humble themselves before Jesus Christ, the King of kings, or eat grass rather than smoking it.

Why Did the Lord Jesus Shine His Face on America?

Have you heard any major republicans giving real credit to the Lord Jesus Christ and His people for their recent victory? I hear them taking credit and talking about what they are going to do but not giving glory and credit where credit is due.  It is time for them to understand that without Jesus their next breath would not be possible.  

There may have only been a few, but mature Christians have been praying, making supplications and intercessions. As a result, the Lord Jesus shined His face on our nation this week. If we want the Lord to keep looking on our nation with favor, there must be a faithful remnant church that stands for Jesus, His kingdom and His righteousness and stands in the gap making prayers, supplications and intercessions. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done!
