God's Idea versus Man's Ideas

It was God’s idea to have a church of one spiritual body that is made up of Jews and Gentiles, who have believed on Jesus Christ, are endued with power from on high, are sanctified by truth and in unity carry on the work of Jesus.

It was man’s idea to make various adjustments to God’s idea that has resulted in things like the following: Baptists, Methodists, Roman Catholics, Pentecostals, Charismatic’s, and Church of Christ… (All of which have their own set of beliefs, doctrines and traditions which prevent them from being one spiritual body).

What God wants is as clear as it can be if one can look into the word without any type of blinders and preconceived notions.  What God wants will become a reality when Jesus can find enough disciples who have forsaken all of what is man and are totally loyal to what God wants.

As a Nation, is America Faithful to Jesus Christ?

God still judges disobedient nations! God is neither a respecter of persons nor of nations. If a person or nation is faithful to Jesus Christ, then God is faithful to them. If a person or nation is not faithful to Jesus Christ, then eventually a price will be paid. That price is often the reaping of what the person or nation has sown.

 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. (Matthew 24:7).

Regardless of its present state and revisionist lies, America was founded as and to be a Christian nation. That does not mean that everyone living in America at the time of her founding was a Christian nor does it mean that all Christians were mature in Christ. It also does not mean that America was perfect, but still the truth is that America was founded as and to be a Christian nation and the Lord Jesus Christ blessed her abundantly.

America was meant to be a Christian nation, but I cannot unequivocally state that she is still such a nation. If “One Nation under God” no longer means “One Nation under Jesus Christ” then how can we be “One Nation under God”?  How did this take place? While various parts of the church became more and more divided because of entrenchment in their pet traditions and doctrines, forces under the control and influence of Satan worked patiently and consistently to change America to something other than what Jesus Christ intended for her to be.  So no; America is no longer a Christian nation and judgment begins at the various churches that have not been watchman on the walls.

And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are consumed from the land that I gave them and their fathers (Jeremiah 24:10).

Have we passed the point of no return where we cannot recoup what has been lost or better yet forfeited? I believe there is still hope but we are getting closer and closer to the point of no return which means that we haven’t seen anything yet in the way of destruction and loss of freedoms. We must not continue down the present path! If true, real and lasting restoration, revival and awakening are not forthcoming, then when the point of no return is reached all hell breaks loose and repentance will not change things quickly.

In conclusion, many American Christians think that they will experience the rapture before these judgments take place, especially to any great degree; many others are distracted by things of life and things of church and aren’t really paying attention. The truth is that these things are already taking place and are increasing in number and intensity! Where are the watchmen? Who is watching and praying? Who sees that people from the various parts of the church must repent and unite in faith and become part of the faithful remnant that makes up the church that Jesus is building.

 

 

Four Instruments of Judgment throughout the History of Mankind

           

      1.     Sword means war but one major enemy is actually using a sword right now.

2.     Famine is an extreme scarcity of food. The greatest scarcity of food in the United States is true spiritual food which opens the door not only for scarcity of healthy food but for all these judgments to come to America. “Behold the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst of water, But of hearing the words of the Lord.” (Amos 8:11)

3.     Pestilence: a contagious or infectious epidemic disease that is virulent and devastating. Are you watching the news?

4.     Earthquake: a shaking or trembling of the earth that is volcanic or tectonic in origin.

And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are consumed from the land that I gave them and their fathers. (Jeremiah 24:10). God still judges disobedient nations!

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. (Matt. 24:7). Many American Christians think that they will experience the rapture before these things take place, and many others are distracted by things of life and things of church and aren’t really paying attention. The truth is that these things are already taking place and are increasing in number and intensity!

Christians in America have not yet passed the point of no return, but the time is short and if real and true restoration, revival and awakening are not forthcoming then when the point of no return is reached repentance will not change things quickly.

 

 

 

 

Pay Close Attention

The freedom of Christians is being taken away in America. The church is not in unity and is not being the salt and light that is needed.  Starting today please pay close attention not only to what your pastor is preaching and teaching, but what is not being preached and taught.

Is he or she boldly addressing the needed issues and preparing you for what is taking place?  Are you being taught the importance of Jesus and Him crucified not only for salvation but for sanctification? Are you being taught the gospel of the kingdom, the true gospel of the kingdom and not some theory that man has come up with about the kingdom? Are you being taught about the necessity of being anointed with the Holy Spirit and power that comes only with the baptism in the Spirit?  Jesus stands ready to confirm the gospel with the accompanying signs?

P. S. As Christian freedoms are taken away, persecution will increase!

Sane or Insane?

Someone has said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. The devil and his evil forces, demonic and human, are running rampant throughout the earth and most  modern churches don’t have a clue as to what to do so they just keep doing what they have always done. What does this tell us?

One thing it might suggest is that Matthew 7: 13, 14 needs to be applied to members of modern churches before being applied to none members because after all judgment is supposed to begin at the house of the Lord.  Could it be that many people have just found something that satisfies their religious bent rather than finding the Way (Acts 9: 2)? One thing that is sure is that the prayer of Jesus in John 17 is not being answered by most churches of our day. Rather than being unified they are divided because they are following separate ways rather than the Way!

It is past time to examine ourselves by the Word of God under the leading of the Holy Spirit rather than being taking in hook, line and sinker by what men have come up with. Of course, religious people will for the most part go down with the ship rather than change. That is what happened in Jerusalem in 70 AD and has happened over and over in many places since then. But I am still looking for the real!
