Good Morning Beloved
Heavenly Father,
Today we are gathered to give You thanks
to praise You and declare Your greatness
for that You do every day, for Your unfailing love
Your overwhelming grace
Guide us O Lord, as Your wisdom is unparalleled
and though we don't always acknowledge it, we desperately need You
Remind us to come to You
in prayer in all circumstances,
How it must break Your heart
that we only seem to need You
when the world around us is crumbling
May we always strive to grow in relationship
as we call upon You for help
call us into greater worship of You
Let those who have an ear hear
In Your precious name we pray
Amen
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw."
Revelation 1:1-2
Today's Message: Being Unaware Won't Be A Good Excuse
In light of the recent events happening in our culture, the pandemic of the Corona virus, Covid-19, many are panicking in fear, filled with anxiety as super market after super market, runs out of food, water and basic household supplies. Drug stores and hardware stores with empty shelves, where there once was various cleaning supplies. Business after business, closing.
Last week the country urged people to alter our lives, our interactions with others, greeting family members, close friends and even not-so-close friends, all in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. And since we now know that the virus can be easily passed through respiratory droplets, close contact with virtually anyone, isn't advisable. And to diligently do, the stuff we should be doing anyway, including washing our hands regularly and thoroughly, as well as avoiding touching our faces.
And if you really want to take caution to the next level, one should consider avoiding alcoholic drinks and anything sweet. Alcohol and sugar suppress the immune system cells that attack bacteria.
Even if someone is showing no symptoms, they could potentially be a carrier, so this isn't a time for taking unnecessary chances...
But stress is still the worst insulting agent to your immune system. That is why it's important to stay informed, through education, rather than panicking in fear.
Are we ready to leave the Ark for what the Cross paid for?
The book of Revelation is one of the most profound books in Scripture.
In fact, many even might find it to be rather shocking.. The picture is vivid, and potent, the realization is devastating, overwhelming, and it is, frankly, if you don't know Christ, very, very frightening.
From the book of Revelation, we read an indication of things to come concerning the society in which we live. It states that no man may buy or sell save he that has the mark of the beast. We have the Lord's description of society of the end times that is coming completely under the domination of the man of sin and legions of fallen angelic beings and other demonic hosts. This is quite a picture, these few words from the Bible.
Let's face it, the impending doom for mankind is coming nearer and more rapidly..
The world as we know it, man’s world, is quickly changing, facing certain and inevitable death. Sin is taking a very frightening toll that ultimately ends up in the judgment and wrath of God. Every element of our society is escalating quickly in a downward spiral, being devastated by depravity, given over to deception, lust and pride and self-indulgence, immorality and rejection of God and Christ, and the truth of Scripture more and more.
The Bible is a remarkable book, first of all because it brings to our attention some very interesting prophecies about the future. Ones we must as a church, as a world give considerable attention too.
The Bible prophecies simply because in history, previous prophetic utterances have come to pass. The Word of God, the Bible, has proven time and time again, to be accurate and authentic, both prophetically and scientifically.
And we only need to look over past prophecies and their fulfillment's to realize just how very accurate the Bible is in its recognition of the scope of the fulfillment of man's ultimate destiny.
Since the beginning, since the first sin mentioned in the Bible in the book of Genesis, God has always, always made provision, a way, for all to escape the coming judgments..
And while the churches prepare for their Easter services and activities, there is very little is mentioned of end times.
Beloved, I dare say, we have had our day of fun in the sun and now the dust of death is upon us..
And those who have rejected Jesus Christ, the Son of God... the Messiah, and so, man kind will find himself in final frantic hours, the escapades of a dying man.
We see and hear nothing from the pulpits of America and around the world, about billions of people on the face of the earth, who will be dying in a war that is coming. The most powerful people on our planet are seemingly preparing a way to live on Mars, as if to somehow escape the inevitable, but no man will escape the wrath that is coming upon this world.
And as the watching worlds takes notice of how we are debating scripture and arguing over doctrine, people are turning away, turning away from God and His profound truths. Mean while, Satan is accomplishing his evil plans to deceive the world and the church..
"Draw near, O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!
Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
For the Lord’s indignation is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies;
He has utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to slaughter."
Isaiah 34:1-2
The book of Revelation, is unique
in it is the only book in the Bible
that assures us of a blessing
to those who would read and hear it's message..
And we are literally transported into the events of the future.
"Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near."
Revelation 1:3
In contrast, we learn about worldwide hunger that will cause people to turn to those who have the power to sustain them even as Israel turned to Egypt and men sold everything they had to Pharaoh for food for themselves and their children. They became slaves to the government. All the result of men who have turned from serving God, to serving and worshiping, devil. Worshiping the creature rather than worship the Creator.
Contrary to what many have been discussing, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 Virus, there is a coming a future final event, the coming of Christ to establish His kingdom. However, I do believe, that this is part of what is to come. The birth pains will increase in frequency and intensity.
Natural disasters, virus outbreaks, that we are seeing in our world today, will continue to become more significant and will occur more and more rapidly. Which is what we are experiencing now.. rather than become fearful, we should be preparing ourselves and those we love. Sharing the message of the Gospel as often as we are able, converting as many to Christ as possible.
That is the birth we must keep in mind. The birth pains are those events that are preliminary to that, and as with child labor, they begin to go more rapidly and more rapidly and more rapidly as they bring us to the final event.
Beloved, that is a very vivid analogy. So what can we expect?
That there will be pain, more pain, more pain and more pain and more pain, they will occur faster and faster, until the final and ultimate pain of the birth. Which is the Return of Jesus Christs' coming and His destroying all the wicked on the face of the earth.
We must keep in mind Satan's plan to conquer God's people and make them slaves.
Just look at the world today; look at how many people are now dependent on the government. Is it a blessing from God or another trap of the devil? Now I’m not talking about people who have for years paid into the system for a retirement. I’m not talking about those who are disabled, or even those needing to supplement their income to feed their families but I am talking about people who are dependent on the government, whose entire existence is supported by the government, those who are physically able to work but unwilling to do so.
The government of our own country is slowly, but surely, leading us to dependence on them to keep us in bondage. And people will do just about anything to keep their benefits.. becoming slaves just like Israel was in Egypt. People have become far too comfortable, and have been enjoying its benefits for far too long.
Just as God sent Moses after four hundred and thirty years of slavery to bring them out of Egypt and many didn’t want to leave. It became easier to complain than to try to escape. Just as many today would rather complain our their situation, than to get up and do something to change it.
We must see that we are being set up.. and we will become no more than a number until we are exterminated by the world Governments. Freedom is slowly but surely being taken away
Our food is being contaminated slowly but surely it will kill us with the rise in new diseases. Medicine, once designed to help us, offers immediate relief but the side effects, are becoming more deadly than the diseases itself.
My parents started off with only a few medications, to regulate blood pressure, however, due to the "rare chance of side effects" of those medications, they have tripled their medications, causing even further complications and organ damage, resulting in even more dependency on medications. It's a vicious cycle!
The reality is, we have become more and more dependent on man and less dependent on God.
How many people do you know of that still raise their food, make their own food, with the exception of the Amish and the Mennonites, and maybe a few more? We have become more dependent on grocery stores, we have then failed to read all the additives that are in the food we're buying that are in them, which are slowly but most assuredly killing us. Has anyone questioned how many ingredients are in most brands of peanut butter? Most have far more than peanuts and peanut oil!
And french fries... most have more than 15 ingredients!
Beloved, if Satan can cause such a thing to happen to us in the natural, what do you think he is doing in the Spirit?
The father of lies, this master manipulator is stirring trouble in our families, the younger generations no longer helping the elderly, people failing to even make a simple phone call to check on their parents and other family members.
And in the churches, causing people not to pray and fast like they use to. He’s turning Churches into social clubs, focusing more on coffee, donuts and conversation than worship!
Are we blindly becoming one of the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation or some of each?
"To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’"
Revelation 3:1-6
Have all the real churches gone before the trouble even begins?
All seven of the churches described in Revelation had something against them.
We must all ask ourselves, what would God have against us if he added our church to that list?
Could we honestly say that He would have only a good report? Would He say that we have done all these things, only to please Him? Let's not kid ourselves ...
Dare I mention that there are a great many military bases in this country that are completely empty, but well maintained and kept up. What is the reason for that?
What exactly is the Government planning for them? And for us?
And to think I am being unrealistic here, or a conspiracy theorists, but I've been observing these signs for many years. It's time we realize, that men and governments have been trying to rule the world for centuries and they have to eliminate the ones that are the most resistant. That is why there is so much war either to completely subdue people, or destroy them, whatever is necessary to bring people under control. Look at Israel!
Take a look at the early church and how it was persecuted and many people were killed. Why? Because their doctrine was different than the religious leaders of the day and those religious people hated the change! They did whatever they could to stop it! Even having a kangaroo court, with mock jury to try, convict and crucify Christ.
The religious world of Jesus day was under submission to Rome and the Christians were under submission to Jesus. So the world government had to kill the resistance to continue their rule.
Satan is not interested in stopping religion, but his goal is to stop people from having a full understanding of the Word of God.
That’s why Satan has been slowly implementing a new world order, and a one-world religion and whether we want to acknowledge it or not, the Vatican is behind a large part of it. With all of this "We all on a different path, but heading to the same destination."
In Closing...
The truth Is the truth!
And false doctrine is FALSE DOCTRINE!
And it does not matter what government, church leader or religion is teaching it!
There is One God, One Messiah, Jesus Christ and One TRUTH!
And there is only One Way to the Father!
To control the government and to control whom people worship.
Satan, not man, created the false doctrine that is in the world today.
Look at the control the Government has over people today. Look at the change in the education systems, kids being taught to test, rather than taught to learn. More and more children unable to read and understand basic concepts..
Name one thing the world governments pay for that they do not get what they want?
Satan wants to rule the world and to do that, you and we have to be stopped or deceived.
And I see both of these tactics at work today in the churches of today. We must return to Christ!
Return to our first love..
"‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’"
Revelation 3:15-22
We must all do our part, we must as a church must wake up and look at the signs that God has given us and recognize the deceit of Satan. Just as He did throughout biblical history! Giving into the flesh has always caused great men and great countries to fall into slavery... always!
The attempts to unseat present day authorities will continue until they wipe away the social order of behavior, shall at some future time all merge into one new social order, a controlled mass society.
They will find a leader to lead them, one whom the Bible calls the "man of sin", the "Anti-Christ" and whose appearance is even now on the horizon.
"Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Matthew 26:41
It is the will of God that we know the things that are coming and not be caught being unaware.
Each day we are getting nearer and nearer the Day of The Lord.
"I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire and columns of smoke.
“The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes." "
Joel 2:30-31
God is speaking to the world, His voice becoming louder and stronger, the question is....
Are we as His church and as a world listening?
And now may the Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Now and forever, in Jesus' name
Amen
