Is It God's Will???

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 7:21)

Does God Ever Change His Mind About His Word?

But, and if the people won't walk in His perfect will, He does have a permissive will He'll let you walk in. Notice, He permits it, all right, but He will make it work out for His glory, in His perfect will. Now if you'd like...

Just like, in the beginning, it was not God's perfect will for children to be born on the earth through sex. No, sir. God created man out of the dust of the earth, breathed the breath of life into him, and he become a living soul. He took from that man a helpmate, and made a wife to him. That was God's first and original will. But when sin come in and did the thing that it did, then He permitted man to marry a wife, legally, and have children by her. "Multiply and replenish the earth, then, if that's the way you're going to do it." But, you see, it never was His perfect will. [Genesis 1:26-28]

Therefore, all these things that had a beginning has to have an end. All sin has to come to annihilation. All sin has to be done away with. Therefore, in the great Millennium when the resurrection comes, we will not have to be reborn again by our fathers and mothers, but God like He did in the beginning will call man from the dust of the earth, and his helpmate with him. That's right. That's the way He did it at the beginning. [Genesis 1:26-28]

So therefore, God never changes His mind about anything, but He will permit you to go on. Now, this is a long ways around to get to what I want to say here about this. But, and, but, it's, you'll... I want you to understand it. See? God will permit you to do something, and even bless you in doing it, but still it isn't His perfect will. [Genesis 3:15-22]

God permitted Israel to take a law, in Exodus the 19th chapter. When grace had already give them a prophet, Pillar of Fire, a sacrifice lamb, a delivering power, but they cried out for a Law. It wasn't God's will, but it was injected because man wanted it. And he was cursed by the very law that he wanted. [Exodus 20:1-22]

It's best to have God's will. That's what He taught us. "Thy will be done. Thy Kingdom come." We must submit ourselves to His will and His Word. Don't question It. Believe It. Don't try to find a way around It. Just take It the way It is.

So many wants to go around, get some other way. And when you do, you find yourself going on, you find God blessing you, but you're working in His permissive will and not in His perfect, Divine will. [Matthew 6:10]

He permits it, as I said, but He will not--He will not let it be His perfect will; but He'll make it work to honour and bless His perfect will. And childbearing, by sex, is one of that. [Genesis 3:15-22]

Mystery Babylon The Mother of Harlots

In Revelation the 17th and 18th chapters we are given one of the most foreboding and ominous warnings contained in the whole scripture. Herein, we find identified a great woman which is called the great whore, Mystery Babylon, and the mother of harlots.

She is also identified as the mother of the abominations of the earth. She stands above all others as a direct enemy to Jesus Christ and the influence; of His church, and Her own seductive spell has swept from the kings to the inhabitants of the earth. She is Satan’s queen (Revelation 18:7 I sit as a queen and am no widow). So alluring and cunning are her enchantments that Revelation 17:8 tells us that the only ones who will not wonder but know her for what she is will be those whose names are written in the book of life from the foundation of the world. All the world will eventually bow down and become a part of her and her daughter system.

It is against her and her children, that at this time of coming judgment, God has turned his face and with her particularly does the book of Revelation deal with as it speaks of the wrath to be poured out upon a wicked and unrepentant world.

WHO IS THIS TREACHEROUS WOMAN?
Below I have listed some verses out of Revelation 17 which will enable the reader to identify the clues provided by God to show who this woman is. The fact that we are dealing with a woman who desire to be worshipped reveals that it will be a religious system.

Revelation 17:1-6, 9,15,18

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore (a)that sitteth upon many waters:

² With whom the (b) kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the (c) inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

³ So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

⁴ And the woman was (c) arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and (d) decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

⁵ And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

⁶ And I saw the woman (e) drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

⁹ And here is the mind which hath wisdom. (f) The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

¹⁵ And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

¹⁸ And the woman which thou sawest (g) is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Now let's accumulate the clues listed in the above scriptures and ask ourselves a question:

Which Religious System
(a) Controls multitudes, nations and tongues?
(b) Has seduced kings and inhabitants of the earth. 
(c) Is arrayed in purple and scarlet?
(d) Is bedecked with silver and gold? 
(e) Is drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus?  
(f) Sits upon seven mountains?
(g) Is a great city reigning over kings?

Unless the reader is, wilfully ignorant it becomes obvious that the religious system herein described has to be the great church of Rome; the so-called eternal city of seven hills.

But Notice 
Revelation 17:15 describes her as a Mother, with harlot daughters.

If the mother is an illegitimate church, so also will be the daughters. A scant study of all protestant denominations will reveal that they actually came from the womb of Rome.

When Martin Luther was inspired by God to spawn the reformation it was a true revival. However, the followers of Luther instead of being led by the Holy Spirit into further light denominated on Luther’s message and gave birth to another organization. In such a way the first daughter was born and in the same manner every successive daughter came about.

Each church mixed their creed with God’s Word and like the mother strayed from God’s direct leadership to become a dead illegitimate organization. By the time of the Lord’s return Rome and her adulterous daughters are seen to have formed into a vast system able to control politics, religion and commerce.

From such the true ‘Bride of Jesus Christ will have to separate and heed the call of Revelation 18:4. “Come out of her my people and be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

666

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (Revelation 13:-16-18)

ARE YOU? 

PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST 

OR 

PART OF THE SYSTEM

If your faith is is founded entirely on the Word of God, you are part of Him.

Matt. 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

If you are denying or altering any part of the Word of God to be a member of a church you are part of the system!!!

WHAT IS THE SYSTEM?

INSCRIBED IN THE VATICAN ARE THE LATIN WORDS

VICARIUS FILII DEI

WHICH TRANSLATED MEANS

"INSTEAD OF THE SON OF GOD" 

Imagine the blasphemy of a man, whether priest or pope, to claim to stand before the people "instead of the Son of God." 2 Thess. describes him well:

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2 Thess. 2:4)

It becomes even more enlightening when when one understands the numerical value of this blasphemous title. There are no u s in the Roman language, just v s and the value of these numerals in this title totals 666! It is on the throne that the anti-christ will one day reveal himself.

         VICARIUS         FILII           DEI

          V I C I V            I L I I          D  I 

5 + 1 + 100 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 50 + 1 + 1 + 500 + 1 =666

666 then is the number of Rome and as such is the number of any system headed  by Rome.

Let us not be blind, it is not by chance that the major religious movements of today are leaning more and more to Catholicism. It is not by chance that the charismatic movement is becoming an adhesive to cement together Catholicism, Pentecostalism, and Liberal Protestantism. It is not by chance that the Anglican church is trying to amalgamate with the Roman Catholic Church. Nor is it by chance that we have World Council of Churches with their one-world church thrust.

Though it is all spiritual and much activity taking place, remember the scriptures speak of two churches, one very large and illustrious and one very small and humble.

Don't be fooled for there is no such thing as "unity and being one" as far as God is concerned unless it is unity around the Word of God. In this hodge podge, Catholics are still Catholics and each other respective church holds to their creeds with equal tenacity. There is little regard for basic scriptural fundamentals such as holiness, place of women, homosexuality, correct water baptism, error of infant baptism, and many others. In this mock revival the one dispensable element is the Bible itself.

I must also mention that scripture nowhere points to a vast end-time revival nor do they teach that the Living Saints at the time of His second coming will be any great number. (Luke18:8) "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"...Just as in Noah's day (Luke 17:26) God will speak to the Laodicean Church and will call out individuals by His prophet to join Christ, (THE WORD) on the outside of the church.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. The faithful minority will represent His lovely but tiny end-time BRIDE.

Brothers and sisters please wake up to what is happening. We should all become increasingly alarmed. It is not our intent to offend the individual by this post but rather to warn everyone who claims faith in Christ to stay with the Word in these troubled times and to harken to the voice of God.-(Revelation 10:7)

Ref: The Lord God Hath Spoken

Many Religions, One God

Where and how should we worship God? All religions claim to have the truth. So with these many religions in the world, where should one turn to if they want to serve God in sincerity and truth? Meanwhile, all these religions (Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Judaism, Hinduism etc.) believe that God is one.

After studying all these religions, I can confidently say that Christianity is the only true religion. This is because all the leaders of these religions are still in their graves but Jesus. The prophets spoke about his death and he said he will lay down his life and pick it again and he did exactly that on the third day just as he had told the disciples. If Christianity is the true religion, which church should one attend, since there are over 900 different interpretations of the Bible? Which of them has the truth?  

 Sacrifice as the Passover to the LORD your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for his Name. Deut 16:2

I can assuredly tell you that his Name is the Lord Jesus Christ because; Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved, but the name of Jesus. Acts 4:12

"Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst,"-Jesus

Again, the Bible says  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Col 3:17

Jesus himself said I came in my Father's name. Therefore, the father's name is Jesus, Immanuel- God with us. In Egypt, the only place death could not strike was the house with the Lamb's blood and the Bible makes it clear that Jesus is the Lamb of God. So the only person death will not strike is the person who has applied the blood of the Lamb. 

He said, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and that says it all. No bishop, church or organisation can save anyone but Jesus-the Word. God's chosen place of worship is in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ- the name above all.

God bless you.

ONE DAY IS AS A THOUSAND YEARS WITH THE LORD

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Genesis 2:16, 17 KJV)

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8 KJV)

Because a day is like a thousand years before the Lord, and the Lord had commanded that in that day you eat of the fruit, you will die, no one lived, is living or will ever live past a thousand years. Methuselah was the oldest person that ever lived and he lived for 969 year and he died.

We can apply this principle of a day with the Lord is a thousand years to understand that the world was made in 6000 years. 

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31 KJV)

WHERE DO WE GO WHEN WE DIE?

Many people believe that when a man dies they stay in the grave until the resurrection. Some also believe that they go straight to heaven. Yet others believe that when we die, we go to a middle place between heaven and hell and learn from our mistakes and then graduate to heaven.

Now what is the revealed truth about this issue? Remember the Bible says; But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (Revelation 10:7 KJV) 

The 7th Angel has sounded and all mysteries have been revealed. And now this is the truth about it.

After Death

If a person who is filled with the Holy Spirit dies, he will not have to stand in the judgement of God because he is already judged. He goes straight to the Presence of God. And he'll never have to be in judgement  because he's already judged. Jesus stood God's judgement  He took the judgement  And Him, being innocent from sin, knowing no sin, yet was made sin for us. So as long as you're in Christ, you are free from judgement. "When I see the Blood, I'll pass over you."

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1

Christ took my punishment upon Himself. Therefore I am free from any condemnation so long as I believe that He has paid all my debts. The true believer is judged already because judgement begins at the house of God. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?- 1Peter 4:17

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18

The blood of Jesus was shed to save the world. So it does not matter whether you are a sinner; a drunkard, or a gambler, or a horrible unbeliever, the mercies of God still atones for you so long as you are in the world. But the minute the person's soul leaves the body then he or she has passed over from mercy into judgement  At that point, no amount of prayer or crying can change that person's destiny.
He or she is already judged.  

 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement  Hebrews 9:27

So when a Holy Spirit-filled person dies, he or she goes into the presence of the God in a celestial body. Then, when Jesus, which is in us now in the form of the Holy Ghost, when His celestial body, the Holy Spirit returns with the glorified body, we'll be glorified with Him and in His likeness. John saw the souls under the altar crying, "How long, Lord, how long,"

Jesus told His disciples, taking their Communion, He said, "I'll eat no more of the fruit of the vine until I eat it and drink it with you anew in My Father's Kingdom." 

Before Jesus Died on the Cross

Now, there was a time that the people didn't go into the Presence of God when they died: the justified. That was in the Old Testament. They went into a place called Paradise, and there the souls of the just waited in Paradise. But Paradise was a place where God kept the souls in like a dreamland, until the Blood of Jesus Christ was shed; for the blood of bulls and goats would not take away sin; it only covered up sin. But Jesus' Blood takes away sin.You notice that His--when He died at Calvary... And on His return, He brought out from the grave those dead saints that had died under the atonement of blood of bulls, and goats, and heifers. And they entered into the city and appeared to many.

We Are Influenced By Our Spirit Being

You cannot be here a spiritual being, sinner or saint, without having an influence from the underworld or from the above world. If you're influenced from above, you're from above. Your celestial body is waiting up there. But if you're wicked, and hypocritical, and indifferent, your celestial body is down there, regardless of how much you think it's up there; because the fruit that you bear before people proves where you're from. So you are here what you are somewhere else. Your life that you live here is just reflecting what your inheritance is when you leave here.

If this earthly tabernacle is finished we have one waiting.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Corinthians 5:1

Those whom He justified, He also glorified.

The Rapture and Tribulation
There will be first the coming of the Bride. Just because you accept Jesus as your personal saviour does not mean you will go in the rapture. There were 10 virgins, five were wise and 5 foolish. Virgin represents clean, holy pure.  The foolish ones were holy and sanctified people without oil- the Holy Ghost. There will be an elect that will go in the rapture. The foolish virgins will go through the tribulation because they did not receive oil- Holy Ghost.

Some people believe justification, others will go on for sanctification but some will go even further to be baptised by the Holy Spirit. What came out of Jesus' body, the same is how we go back to Him. That is Water- Justification, Blood-Sanctification and Spirit- Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Sanctification is cleaned and set aside for service. Baptism of Holy Ghost is when they are justified, sanctified and put in the Service of The Lord. When a baby is born, the spirit enters it and makes it live. In the same way, as soon as we die, there is another body waiting.

The Saints Will Judge The World
When the judgement was set, a book was opened and Jesus came judging with thousands of Saints.

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1 Corinthians 6:2

UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH

WHAT IS JESUS ACTUALLY BUILDING HIS CHURCH UPON?

 

The importance of revelation by the Spirit to a true believer can never be over emphasized. Revelation means more to you than perhaps you realize. Now I am not talking about this Book of Revelation and you. I am talking about ALL revelation. It is tremendously important to the church. Do you remember in Matthew 16 where Jesus asked the disciples this question, "Whom do men say that I the Son of Man am? And they said, Some say that Thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father Which is in heaven. And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The Roman Catholics say that the church is built upon Peter. Now that is really carnal. How could God build the church upon a man so unstable that he denied the Lord Jesus and cursed while doing it? God can't build His church upon any man born in sin. And it wasn't some rock lying there as though God had hallowed the ground at that spot. And it isn't as the Protestants say, that the church is built upon Jesus. It was the REVELATION. Read it the way it is written: "Flesh and blood hath not REVEALED it, BUT MY FATHER HATH REVEALED IT, and UPON THIS ROCK (REVELATION) I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH:" The church is built on Revelation, on the "Thus Saith the Lord".

GOD DID IT BEFORE SCIENCE!!!

MANY SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENTS THAT WE KNOW NOW WERE FIRST PERFORMED BY GOD AND THEY WERE RECORDED IN THE BIBLE CENTURIES AGO. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES FOR YOUR PERUSAL.

1. Going to space

 Elijah, Enoch and Jesus were taking up.

i. Jesus
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (Acts 1:9 KJV)

ii. Elijah
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2 Kings 2:11 KJV)


iii. Enoch
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5 KJV)

Three times do we see God taking people away. Three is a "witness and a confirmation." Enoch being seventh from Adam, was raptured and this age being the seventh church age from the second Adam, Jesus, will go in the rapture. It is a surety that the rapture will take place.


2. Door that open by itself /automatic door opener
Doors opened for Peter and the Angel

When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. (Acts 12:10 KJV)



3. Surgical operation. Anaesthetic  

God caused a deep sleep on Adam and He took his rid and made Eve.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. (Genesis 2:21, 22 KJV)



4. Removing cataract

Ananias prayed for Paul and scales fell from his eye.

And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. (Acts 9:17, 18 KJV)



5. Metal detector

The prophet Elisha caused the metal to come up from a pond.

But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it. (2 Kings 6:5-7 KJV)


5. Heart transplant

God gives people new heart.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26 KJV)

And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. (Jeremiah 24:7 KJV)

God bless you.

FALSE PROPHETS

Every Christian knows that the Bible teaches that there shall be false prophets and false christs in the end-time. However, many fail to identify these false prophets and teachers and as a result, many are being deceived.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (Matthew 24:23-26)

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (2 Peter 2:1-2)

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1Timothy 4:1)

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY A FALSE PROPHET?

A true prophet will always lead one to the Word and bind the people to Jesus Christ. A true prophet will not tell the people to fear him or what he says but to fear what the Word says.

The true prophet always says something and they happen exactly as they prophesied.

Antichrist means "antiWord," so these false prophets come perverting the Word of God giving it a meaning that fits their own devilish end.

Just like Judas Iscariot, they are out for money. They get you to sell everything you have and give it to them and their schemes. Some charge for consultation fees. They even tell you how much money to pay.

They spend more time on offerings than the Word. False preachers more often preach about money and how people can have material wealth.

Those who operate the gifts make use of a gift with margin of errors.

Some use psychology and guesses and they call it of God. For example, some may say," I can see someone..." or "the Lord has told me that someone..." Our God is not a God of guesses. He knows every detail of anyone or anything in the universe.

Like the seven sons of Sceva who tried to imitate Paul, the first messenger to the Gentiles, these false prophet do imitate the last messenger to the Gentiles.

If the preacher does not say exactly what Paul said, he is false! 

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Gal 1:8)

The false prophet will tell you if you do not believe them, you will be lost but the true prophet will cry out for people to get back to the word or they will be lost.

These same false prophets will claim that the messenger of the last-day is not a theologian, so he ought not to be heard.

In the days of Micaiah the prophet, there were 400 prophets who were all in agreement saying the same thing and fooling the people but there was only one true prophet-Micaiah.

MOSES, DATHAN AND KORAH

This is what the Lord has given me today for you.

Notice that whenever God sends a true word to His people, there is always the false one behind the scene to lead some people astray. When God was leading the people to the promise land through Moses, there was also Dathan and KORAH who were giving false messages to the people. Those who listened to those men instead of Moses were destroyed with them.

Remember that spirits don't die. They move from one person to another when the person dies. The spirit of Elijah came upon Elisha and again upon John the Baptist. So the spirits that used these men are still present in our day.

There is always one truth and all the others false.

Choose you this day whom you shall listen to. Are you choosing to listen to the voice of man or God's infallible Word which does not change?

False Christs shall come. That means they have the anointing to do miracles but they will tell a lie that will be very close to the truth such that if it were possible it will deceive the elect of God.

One day, all the 400 prophets have told a lie to the King Ahab and Jehoshaphat but there was one (Micaiah) who did not compromise but said, "As the Lord liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak." (2 Chronicles 18, 1 Kings 22)

Today, the majority of preachers are lying to the people. But I will agree with Micaiah by saying, "As the Lord liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak." 

The only way to distinguish truth from the false is to compare what they say to the Word of God, the Bible.

If anyone teaches women can preach, it is false. 

Anyone who says it's ok to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, is false.

Anyone who preaches you have the Holy Ghost once you start to speak in tongues, it is false.

Anyone who preaches you will go to heaven once you attend church is false.

Anyone who preaches that there is no hell is false.

"In times of ignorance God winks at." If you did not know the truth, God will not hold you accountable but once you are told the truth, God will hold you responsible if you do not follow it.

The only thing that changes the mind of God from destroying the people is REPENTANCE. Consider/read the case of Jonah at Nineve and Isaiah who was sent to Hezekiah.

He that have ears, let him listen what the Spirit is saying.

Are You Born Again?

Are You Born Again?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)

Recieving the Holy Spirit is the same as being Born Again.

If the spirit in you cannot agree with ANY word of God, you are not born again. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word the proceeds out of the mouth of God.

The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth and only God's word is the truth all others are false.

If you deny any Word of God, you are not right with God. And that means the spirit of God is not in you.

Paul after receiving  the Holy Spirit was able to teach and preach the Gospel according to how the disciples were taught by Jesus. The Holy Spirit is Jesus. He said I will be with you even in you until the end of the age. So Jesus in you cannot deny His own Word. And as John 1 says, in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh.

It does not matter whether you do speak in tongues, heal the sick etc. if you cannot accept every word of God as true, you are still lost!

No man can call Jesus Lord except by the Holy Ghost. 

Without the Holy Ghost, you will always argue about the Word and use your own imagination to interpret It.

Without the Holy Ghost, you will always defend your church's doctrine even if it's contrary to what the Bible says, instead of defending the Word of God.

Without being born again, you cannot forgive your enemies as Jesus commands us to do. You will always pay evil with evil.

Without the Holy Spirit, you will not find it interesting listening or reading the Word of God.
Without the Holy Ghost, you will love the things of the World more than the things of God. That is why some Christians choose watching TV programmes like football over attending Church service. 

You are still living in sin because you do not have the Holy Spirit. He that sins is a slave to sin but if the Son of God shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.

THE TRUTH ON WATER BAPTISM Part 2

TITLES OR NAME?

In Matthew 28:19 we can read Jesus' great commission unto His disciples saying, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, BAPTIZING them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

In Luke 24:46-47 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in HIS NAME to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

According to the scriptures ALL the eleven apostles including Peter, were present when the Lord Jesus gave this great commission. The Lord Jesus Christ never told us to baptize in the NAMES (plural), but in the N-A-M-E (singular). Both Matthew and Luke wrote NAME. We know HIS NAME is the LORD JESUS CHRIST

Take note that 'Father' is not a NAME. 'Son' is not a NAME either; neither is the Holy Ghost a NAME. These are but TITLES of the ONE true GOD.

To illustrate this point using Abraham Lincoln, the 16th American President, he was born a SON to Thomas Lincoln. He became a HUSBAND when he married Mary Todd. When they had their four sons, he became a FATHER to their children and to the rest of Americans, he was the PRESIDENT. Abraham Lincoln by being a Son, a Husband, a Father and a President, did not make him FOUR persons but still the same ONE person but with different titles.

In the same manner, God ABOVE was FATHER (Psalm 89:25, Isaiah 9:6, Malachi 2:10), the same God WITH US in human flesh was the SON (Isaiah 9:6), and now the same God IN US (John 16:17) is the HOLY GHOST, and therefore the NAME of this one true God is the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

In the Old Testament, God the FATHER was always called LORD (with capital L); in the New Testament, we find JESUS was the name given to the SON of God and in our age when the HOLY GHOST was given since the day of Pentecost, He is called the CHRIST or the Anointing of God.  

We can therefore conclude from the these basis that the TITLES of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost refers to only one compound Name, which was given on earth whereby man must be saved (Acts 4:12)- and that NAME is nothing else but the NAME the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the complete NAME of GOD!

We can read throughout the Bible that ALL of Jesus' disciples baptized in water in no other name but the Name of Jesus (References: Acts 2:38; Acts 8:14, Acts 10:46-48, Acts 19:1-5). 

NEVER can we find the entire pages of the Bible where anybody was ever baptized using the TITLES of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Look it up and you will never find one.

No wonder the scriptures say in Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

The apostles understood that baptism in those TITLES was not a LITERAL command, just as when Jesus told them, 'Except you EAT my FLESH and drink my BLOOD, you have NO Life in you.' Nowhere in the Bible can we find they literally ATE the flesh of Jesus or DRANK his blood. That would make them cannibals and vampires if such command was followed to the letter. But the thing is that it was revealed unto them that eating His Body means 'partaking of His Word' and drinking his Blood meant 'receiving His Atoning sacrifice' into their lives. In Water Baptism, it was revealed also unto them WHO really was the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and what the NAME of God really was. "Lord Jesus Christ," that's the complete Name of God.

The third and final part of the Truth on Water Baptism will follow shortly.

God bless you.

REJECTING JESUS IS RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST (666)

REJECTING JESUS IS RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST

Jesus had made a statement that served as the last straw that broke the Carmel's back!  He said 'if you don't eat of my flesh and drink my blood you are not part of me.' To some, Jesus wanted to make them cannibals etc.

And the Bible says;
From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. (John 6:66 KJV)

It is no coincidence that John 6:66 has this information for us. This Bible verse represents 666.

Many of the disciples of Jesus turned away and walked with him no more. The mystery here is, walking with Jesus, you receive the Seal of God which is the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, turning your back on Jesus is receiving the Mark of the Beast, 666.

The Bible says there will be a falling away before that great day comes. Therefore, just as it happened at the beginning with Jesus and His disciples, the same will happen at the end-time.

Some people teach that the devil will mark people on their foreheads with the number 666. Of course the Bible says so but the true meaning of that is, receiving false doctrine into your head. For example, if you accept a church's doctrine instead of the teachings of the Bible, you are receiving the Mark of the Beast.

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar. (Romans 3:4 KJV)

Rejecting Jesus makes you an anti-Christ thus aligning yourself with the devil. 666 is the symbol of the Anti-Christ.

If God permits me, I will make a post on the topic 666 to explain things further.
