Power and money!!!!

So you love power. Don't let power be the death of you. You like to be honored but hate to honor your creator. You make laws, but hate the laws of God. Due to power and money the greatest atrocities known to mankind was done in the name of religion. What God do you serve? Certainly not the same God I serve. As the good book says" you go up on the hilltop and worship your gods which are not Gods. You drink the blood and you love to shed the blood of the innocent. Justice and truth is far from you. You can't handle the truth. Would that be why so many lies are being told. The lord says" I will lift up your skirts and show your lovers your shame. You know, the one you lie in bed with. The ones you take counsel from, but refuse righteous council. You are as the word says ' a degenerate vine. Where is the love for God's sake. You have no love for your fellow man. Your only love is money and power. How far will it get you? Can you live forever? How do you live with yourself knowing that you are responsible for others not having a decent job, decent housing or decent pay. It's ok for you to have but others should not. What if the tables were turned. You who  cherish power and money. What if you were stripped of everything and everything you have given to those whose lives you have tried to destroy. Did it ever occur to you that we all must pay the penalty of what we do here on earth. Do you seriously believe that life ends after we die. Please do not fool yourself. Do not let Satan beguile you like he did Eve. You saw what happened to mankind. Everything that God intended for mankind was taken away because Adam and Eve rebelled. Scientist are trying to find the fountain of youth, scientist are also trying to find the gene to living forever. I wonder why!!! Could it be that we all have that inherent desire to live and be youthful because it was  a part of Gods plan from the beginning. We humans will not get very  far without God. I don't care how many demons and deceased ancestors we take council from. As the good book says"  

  1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

  James 5:5 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 

  So when we here of the plans that the wicked has for us, let us not worry but gather together in prayer, fasting and reading. Praying often because James 5:16 states; The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth   much. 

I am so tired!!!!

I am so tired!!!!

  I am physically and mentally tired.  I am tired of people and their ways. I am even tired of myself. I found myself acting just like the Israelites of long ago. God enabled Moses to lead them out of 400 years of bondage. They saw first hand the almighty powers of God and still they walked the desert with an unbelieving heart. The Israelites in exodus murmured and complained often. They saw things that we can only imagine and still they complained. I know deep down in my heart that God is by my side, but still I tend to get angry and let outside circumstances get the best of me. Like my daughter told me recently" when you learn to not care what people say or think then you will be fine. The thing is people are people. Few care and many don't. The bible says in the last days men's heart will wax cold. It will be a time of mothers against daughters, fathers against sons., your worst enemy will be members of your own household.

 So today I had a discussion with a pastor / mental health specialist. After going over in my head our discussion I have come to this conclusion. Even pastors do not read and pray each day. In order to feel and see the power of God work daily in our lives we all must commit ourselves to reading and praying each and every day. As the word say " We must pray without ceasing. It is easy to understand that humans will think and believe whatever they want to, however it takes a man or woman of God to take a good look at the facts without being bias in order to come to an acceptable and truthful answer to whatever situation or things may be. The discussion I had today told me that when people do not understand something they come up with their own consensus, be it factual or false. Mankind who do not have a true righteous relationship with Christ do not understand the power of God moving in someone else's life. It's as though they are trying to say that the things which happen in your life is not from God. So because they are denying his power you should also deny his power. The bible gives many stories of God protecting his people. Leaders seem to not know this power so they do not teach about the power of God.  I know the power of God and know that me of myself is capable of doing nothing. It is the power of Jesus Christ which has sustained me all my life. I have no power of my own. So do not get the facts twisted. 

 Psalm 121:7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy soul.

  Psalm 4:8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Oh'  Lord will keep me safe. 

  Psalm 91:11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.

  There are many more verses of God protecting those who believe in him. He even protects those who are unbelievers because as he said again, Matthew 5:45 it rains on the just as well as the unjust.

Who is in the church!!!!

Who is in the church

Satan is in the church. Many people go to church. They hear a feel good speech, clap their hands, jump for joy, do a amen and a hallelujah and leave the church doing the same devilish mess they were doing before they went to church. Some people go to church faithfully each Sunday morning and will drink, smoke fornicate and curse you out on Monday through Saturday. If a pastor is not preaching to save lost souls then please beware. 

  We feed our bodies so we also must replenish and feed our souls. We must be careful what our soul is being fed. Just like junk food is bad for us and is more like garbage so is our spirit man. We need to be nurtured spiritually in truth and righteousness. The Lord said to feed his sheep. He also said the people perish for lack of knowledge. 

  When we were children and in school the teacher taught us but we were given homework. Well today we also need to do our homework. We cannot just leave it up to the pastor. We have to read on our own also. As the saying goes " you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

   When we leave a church service do we leave with a desire to change our lives. Were we moved by what we heard. Did we get that longing to know God and to seek after him or did we say" let's go get lunch, and start playing the radio which plays secular music. 

 Everyone has their own problems and issues and some people may not realize that they need the Lord. They may not even care to know him, however I know for a fact that we all need him. 

 The bible says to discern the spirit so we need to pay attention to what we are being fed on Sunday mornings .  I go to church because I need spiritual food. I also go because I'm lost and I need to be found, I'm downtrodden and I need to be raised up, I'm sick and I need healing, I have pain and I need to be pain free, I'm imprisoned and I need to be free, I'm thirsty and I need to drink, I'm hungry and I need to be fed, I'm naked and I need to be clothed, I'm cold and I need warmth, the bible says I need to be washed in hyssop and made clean. My soul needs God and I can't speak for you. 

The author and finisher of it all!!!

The author and finisher of it all!!!

So I have been listening to a couple of people complain about their relationship with their mates. Here are two people with the same  concern. Their man provides and pay bills but he is not passionate enough. They wished he cared more, or gave them more attention. As I listened to someone else give them advice I had a little grin on my face  to what they were talking about. Not that I was laughing at the situation but because I now know that to every problem and situation in life I now have an answer. It took me years to realize that I needed to take all of my problems to God. I actually thought that I could solve them myself. These two people I know personally and If I told them to pray about it they would both say " yea ok," but they would not listen to me. What I have come to understand is that if two people in a relationship decided to pray together they will see a change in their relationship. A change for the better. God knows our thoughts, he reads our minds, he knows our likes and dislikes. He knows each and every one of us better than we know ourselves. He also knows what is best for us. The Lord says for us to bring all of our cares to him. He gave us relationships, he gave us family, he gave us love, he gave us sex, people have sex, plants have sex, animals have sex. He gave us life, he gave us everything. Why is it so difficult to go to God with all our problems when he created all the things we are having a problem with. So if I am having a problem in any area of my life I am taking it to him. Now what I know is that he also told us to not fornicate since it is a sin. So if someone is having a problem in a relationship in which they are not married well, maybe they need to fix the bigger issues first. We need to ask ourselves why are we in this relationship in the first place. Is it to eventually get married or is it just another boyfriend girlfriend thing.  If it is another boyfriend and girlfriend thing then as time goes on the relationship goes south and we move on to the next. Personally I am tired of the same repetitive thing that leads to nowhere. I want marriage, after all it is Gods gift to us. 

  God gave Eve to Adam and even though Eve sinned first he did not destroy the relationship, he sent them both out of the garden of Eden. The bible says that God hates divorce and we ourselves should be doing what ever possible to save our marriage if we have one. Jesus first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding. I guess all I'm trying to say is if a person is living in sin don't ask God to bless your sin. It won't happen, but when we start to line ourselves up with God and ask him to come into our hearts, home, relationships and what ever situation we are having he will fix whatever is broken. After all he created all things because he is the Author and finisher of all things.

There is no rapture before the tribulation!!!!

There is no rapture before the tribulation. 

  Revelation 1:7 Behold he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they Also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so,  Amen.

  I have heard the saying "The Rapture". I have spoken to people who believe that when shit hits the fan and the tribulation starts, they will be raptured up to heaven. The left behind series gives the idea that people will be on earth while others are taken up to heaven with Jesus Christ. If that is true then it would mean that the people left on earth are given a second chance to do it right. I watched the movie revelation road. This movie gives the same account that those left on earth will also be given a second chance. 

   I have never read anywhere in the bible that people will be living on the earth while the saints live with Christ for a thousand years. I at one time studied with jehovah witness and they also give that same interpretation. Those who are not with Christ for his thousand year rule will live on earth without the interruption of Satan, since he will be locked up. They will be given a second chance. I find that very hard to believe based on scripture. For someone who has not been reading they may find themselves being misled. As I have said before I am not a scholar. I am just someone who reads often and hopes that others find their way to the truth, God's truth. 

Matthew 24:40 &42 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. I suppose these two statements have some people believing that they will be given a second chance to get it right. I think not.  From reading the bible for myself this is not the understanding that I have received. Matthew 24:27 For as lightening cometh out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Verse 29-31 states, immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. If you pay attention closely it says in Matthew 29, immediately after the tribulation the coming of Jesus Christ. 

  John 15:13 states, greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. In the book of Genesis 22:1-2 God tested Abrahams faith. Then he said, take your son your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you. 

The most high God offered his one and only son Jesus Christ as a sacrifice. Isaiah 53:7 states " he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep is silent before the shearers he did not open his mouth. In the book of Revelation while John was on the island of Patmos in his vision he states" Revelation 20 :4 and I saw the souls of those that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Who do we love the most? Do we love Christ or do we love the world and the things of this world. We must understand that to be a follower of Christ does not give us a get out of tribulation free card. If we pay attention we would see that Satan comes to earth to make war against the saints. Jesus disciples all suffered for believing in him. We must also be ready to do the same. After all didn't Jesus die for us.

   If someone took the time and googled guillotines they would see that the U.S has ordered over 30 thousand guillotines on its soil. This is not the time to not believe in Jesus Christ because the end is very near. Yesterday my cousin sent me a video about a cashless society and everyone being made to take the chip by the year 2017. 

  Nothing is a guarantee in this life except death. So instead of worrying about death let us make sure that we know where we are going when that time comes. It will not be easy however Jesus told us  in revelation 2:5 Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Matthew 10:19 but when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. No one wants to go through trials and tribulation but jesus does not come before the tribulation he comes after. The only opportunity given to us to find Christ is the life we are in right now. but they shall be priest of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 

 

  While the saints live with Christ for 1000 years the earth will rest from all the evil that has been committed on it. I can no longer find that statement in the bible not even the King James Bible. I However going back over in revelations 19:20 and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Verse 21 and the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Revelation 20 and I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. From my understanding the season that Satan is loosed is when he goes to prepare his army in the battle of Armageddon. Revelation 20:7 states and when the thousand years are expired, Satan be loosed from his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle; the number of them is as the sand of the sea. Revelation  20:12 states and I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13, and the sea gave up the dead which were in it and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. If we want to be certain about things then we must read 2 Timothy 2:15 read to show thyself approved.
