Well, praise Jesus today, brothers and sisters. I want to talk about this subject just for a little bit here because I think it's very important to understand. A Trump victory or a Republican victory does not equate Christian revival in the church. There have been some circulating videos on YouTube and around the Internet that a lot of people have been seeing that have this similar topic has been, spread around, and a lot of Christians, I think, believe that they shouldn't vote, or they shouldn't be involved in politics, or they shouldn't stand for things that are right in our country because of this fact. Now the simple fact is, in countries and in nations that have had little or no persecution, that doesn't mean that the church just grows. In fact, the Church of Jesus grows often most in countries and in areas that suffer Christian persecution. So if you want the Christian Church to grow, give it persecution, jail pastors, kill people, and then the Christian church grows. And so there are, these videos that make it sound as though Christians shouldn't really fight for righteousness or want someone in office who stands for Christian rights because the Christian church grows, when we suffer persecution. In other words, they would say just let Kamala, you know, let Kamala Harris be the next president. Don't bother. Even though she's gonna abort babies, even though she hates Christians, and that's quite obvious, just let her be the next president because that will allow God's judgment to come and judge false Christians and judge people because that is what America deserves anyway, and it will just make the Christian church grow. You know, years ago I thought like this myself, but it's actually very ungodly and God doesn't stand for that. When I was first coming out of the church that I was a part of, I'm ashamed to admit that I did think like this. I thought kind of like the apostles who said: well, should we just call down fire out of heaven and kill them all? Remember when the apostle said that to Jesus, they were very upset that the Pharisees, were against Jesus, and they wanted to call down heaven. They wanted to call down fire from heaven. And Jesus didn't say, "yeah, go ahead. Call down fire from heaven and kill them all". But in fact, Jesus showed mercy even to his opponents, even to people that hated him. And Jesus rebuked them saying that he didn't come to destroy men's lives but to save them. And that is because God's love even comes on the hateful, the unmerciful. The rain comes both on the good and the bad. And God loves all of us even when we were still in iniquity. Jesus didn't die for us because we were good, but he died for us because he wanted to save us from our sins even when we hated him, even when we were God's enemy. This is very profound, guys. When I was first coming out of the church and the church was evil, I wanted to see God's wrath come upon the church. At that time, one of the people, one of the main leaders in the church had cancer. Praise Jesus everyone. One of the people that had cancer, they were a leader of the church. And I remember thinking, well, this is God's judgment because these leaders of the church are wicked. And the church leaders were wicked. But I, in my lack of wisdom, started saying, well, this person is going to die, of cancer. And I started talking to people in the church about how this person was gonna die of cancer. It was God's judgment. God hates iniquity. And all of, you know, all of that was my misjudgment thinking that, God was gonna give all these people cancer. He was gonna kill them all. And in reality, that did not happen even though I believed God was gonna kill this person for their wickedness due to cancer. In fact, that person, continued to live and got better. They recovered. And I, at the time, was upset because I was just convinced that God was gonna he was gonna rain hail and brimstone and just kill these people because they were supporting things that were so wicked in the church. But God gave them time to repent. It's been now, like, 10, 15 years later, and a lot of these people are still alive. They still have their choice to make on this earth for good or for evil. And it would be evil of me or ignorant of us just to say that God is gonna kill them right away before the judgment for their evil, that he is not gonna show them any mercy because they're evil and I am good. I know now that that is not the God I serve. I know now that I was in the wrong for thinking that. So bring that back to today. I'm not going to go along with these Christians that say, well, America deserves Kamala Harris, America deserves persecution. America deserves, a government that will hate its own people and put Christians to death, and it will just, you know, make the Christian church grow due to persecution. While it is true that trials and tribulations and persecutions grow the church, I don't need to hope for evil upon people so that God's people will grow. If God wants to allow persecution to come, then he can bring it by his own hand. If God wants to discipline you by cancer, or by death, or by famine, whatever the case is that's God's business. But I don't need to be praying for destruction to come on my adversary, like how the apostles were praying for, you know, lightning to come out of heaven and to destroy the Pharisees. Jesus was not for that, and he is not for people just to suffer and to die. He is for us, that our souls would be saved. We need to just start praying that, that people would be saved. And if persecution does come, if God does allow a democratic win in our country, then we need to just say praise the lord, but we will overcome no matter what trials or tribulations come our way. But we but just because that God may allow a democratic win, or just because he may allow abortion in our country or these people who are hateful, doesn't mean that we stop fighting for righteousness. And a lot of Christians just they just give up. They stop fighting for righteousness. They start praying for war. They start praying for evil. They start hoping for evil thinking as though God is on their side. And God is always on the side of the righteous, and he wants us to continue to spiritually fight and slash our swords in the way that the righteous should do it. We should continue to pray against evil. We should continue to stand up for things that are right. Stand up for the unborn. Stand against abortion. Stand against homosexuality, gay marriage, pornography. Stand against, drugs and drunkenness and wickedness, carousing. All these things should be things that we stand up against, that we vote against if we have the right and privilege to do so. And never should we just be negligent or looking the other way saying, well, our country deserves evil anyway, so I shouldn't do anything about it and take this pacifist approach and do nothing. Because Jesus wants us to be people that are always standing for the truth. So I hope that this makes sense to someone because these videos that I see that are circulating, a lot of them are just creating confusion, and a lot of Christians think that, well, if, you know, if our country is gonna have Christians grow due to persecution, then, then I will vote for whoever brings in more persecution. I'll vote for whoever kills more babies. And so then Christians themselves start praying against the will of God. It is not the will of God that anyone perish, but that all repent and come into the light of the truth. So let us as disciples of Jesus not be confused by darkness. Let us not be confused by Christians that are pointing people in the wrong direction. Let us choose to say, good is good and evil is evil and always stand on the side of the truth. So, I hope this makes sense to someone, and I hope that whether persecution comes or whether it doesn't, whatever the case is that we will continue to stand for Jesus. And whether we are in a time of peace or of war, we will, in our own hearts, continue to grow with the Lord Jesus. I hope for the sake of my own family, my own brothers and sisters, that we can live at peace with God and at peace with one another as much as it is possible. I don't hope for war in my country. I don't hope for violence, and I hope to keep things that are evil out of my country such as violent gangs, drugs, alcohol, things like Fentanyl. All these things that are wicked that are coming over the border, all these things that are destroying the economy, I pray against those things, brothers and sisters, because I love people. I have the love of Jesus in me, and I pray and hope to see my countrymen succeed and not end in hell. It goes back to what Jesus also said to his disciples, "I didn't come to end men's lives. I didn't come to destroy it, but I came to save them". A lot of Christians are totally getting Jesus wrong. They misunderstand God, all they care to see is judgment. They're like Jonah. They're pouting, they're whining, they're complaining, they're upset that that little shrub is withering up in the desert. They're ready just to curse God and go to their death because they care more about the little shrub in the desert than they care about, you know, 300,000,000 people. So are is our care and concern the same as what Jesus is care and concerned about, or is it for our own selves? Are we like the prophet Jonah who only thought about himself, who was selfish at the core? Anyways, guys, I hope this encourages someone to be on the side of the truth, to see things the way Jesus sees them, and not to be deceived by other Christians or false prophets or people that are just, getting distracted from the truth. "So, Lord Jesus, I pray for my fellow brothers and sisters that they are not distracted by the evil one, by false Christians, by pastors, by messages on the Internet. I pray that we would continue to fight for righteousness, that we could pray for the young children of America, that they would be saved and not polluted by the devil. We pray that, that people both young and old, black and white, rich and poor, wherever they are, may be saved, that they may come into your salvation, that you may offer them life, and that we may enter into your kingdom. I pray this in your name, Lord Jesus. Amen."

Trump Victory Doesn't Equate Christian Revival BUT...
Sunday, October 27, 2024
Real worship isn't Contrived
Praise Jesus this morning, brothers and sisters in the Lord. I have this word from God this morning about true worship and how it isn't contrived, but it comes out of a very real place in our hearts. But in comparison, the worship that has been fabricated in church is very control, it is very set up, and that is why outsiders, when they see Christians, don't wanna be part of that because it's boring, it's the same thing that all the false churches are doing, and it turns away people that really want to know God. It turns God into religion. When I was in church, I was terribly bored with the worship. To most Christians, worship means this 30 minutes or this 15 minutes or this hour of music. It's boiled all the way down to just a guy playing guitar or someone leading worship, they say, on the stage. And, actually, what these Christians are worshiping is themselves. They're worshiping the stage in their church and those lights and whatever they set up their stage as in church. Now coming from a place where I was going to shows and listening to music that I thought was really exciting, no church music could do that. So to call church music worship, I thought this is incredibly boring. And a lot of Christians, they literally think that worship means, music. Praise Jesus everyone. I see your messages coming in here. But true worship, as the Apostle Paul wrote, is offering your body as a living sacrifice to God, being transformed in your mind. And when we worship God, it comes out of a very natural and very real place from our hearts. What I'd compare it to is this, If you've ever been to a national park such as Yosemite or some beautiful place, maybe the Grand Canyon, no one had to tell you to marvel at how awesome the scenery was. They didn't have to say, sit and soak in this awesome view for 15 minutes and worship it. They didn't have to tell you to do that. Now, God is so awesome that even his creation looks awesome to the extent that Native Americans will worship it. People that don't know the true God will worship it because they see that it's so awesome just naturally that they think it is God. And because either they're uninformed, or they don't care to know the true God out of the very essence of their being. They worship it, they soak in how great and how awesome you know, the rocks and the trees and the mountains are and the awesome sunset in the ocean. You don't have to tell anyone that surfs in California to go enjoy the surfing. Go worship it for half an hour. You don't have to tell anyone to enjoy nature that they love because naturally, they admire it, they soak it in. Why? It comes out of this very natural place. It comes out of this place where you want to, you desire that. But the creator of all of this nature, who people are just innately worshiping, they don't worship the creator because they don't know him. The creator, they've made seem boring and lame, and that you have to be manipulated to worship for even 15 minutes in a church setting. And the elders have to tell you, shut up during this time and listen to this guy and prepare your hearts through this music that we're gonna call worship for this 30 minutes. And no one really wants to do it. And then they get upset at you because you're not worshiping God during worship time, but you're texting on your phone during the worship time. And in reality, it's because you don't really care to worship a stage. You don't really care to worship religion. You don't care to worship the artist that's not as good as the worldly artists that you've listened to. Worship is not music. It's offering your body as a living sacrifice. And when you get to know this God, the one true God that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob also worshiped, you won't be worshiping him because someone told you to, but because he is so awesome that you will fall down on your face and give him praise. No one has to tell anyone to enjoy and bask in the beauty of the great outdoors. No one has to tell you that. Why? Why do you just sit down and enjoy the majesty of the mountains and the great outdoors? It's because it demands that from you just by its presence. And if the creator demands that from you, how much more than the creator if you knew he was? The men of old who knew God, they worshiped him not through just music, not through just a piano, worshiped him and fell down on their face before him because they knew how awesome he was. They had a real connection with God. They in one way or another had an experience with God, and they worshiped him in this very natural way because of their experience. In the same way you can experience the creation, they experience the creator. And so what I'm posing to you is maybe you have not really experienced God. You haven't really got to know who Jesus Christ is. If you are thinking that true worship is what they are doing in false religion. If it seems to you to be boring, mundane to worship God, well, maybe it is because you're worshiping a false God and that is very boring. It's boring to worship a dead God, but there is nothing boring or lame or pathetic about giving worship and praise to the one true God. He demands our praise not because it's like someone that is selfishly saying, give me your praise, I deserve it. But when you see his presence and you're confronted with his greatness, you will by your very nature fall down on your face and give him glory and honor and praise because you will know in your core that he is worthy. We need to get to know the God of creation, the God that Abraham worshiped when he saw the stars. He was not worshiping the stars. He was hearing the voice of God, and he worshiped the one true God. When those early men, when those men of old, those wise men and people, they saw God's salvation. They fell down and they worshiped the baby. How does someone worship a baby? But they worship this child knowing that he was the son of man and the son of God. They worshiped Jesus not because they were told to worship him for 15 minutes, but because they knew the love and the power of the living God. Why did Thomas that once doubted and had no to little faith in Jesus? Why did he fall down on the feet at the feet of Jesus and say, my lord and my God and worship him? It's because he knew and he had this experience that this God has resurrected my God from the dead. And he fell down in worship out of this awesomeness knowing how powerful God was to save him. We also have to have an experience with God. We have to get to know the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Get to know that Jesus is real, that he is alive, and not only is he just worthy of our praise or that he demands it, but know from the core of our being that that is what we want to do. It comes out of our very nature because God designed us to worship him, not to be worshiping just creation or people as if they are God. A lot of people go around worshiping their favorite celebrity or maybe worshiping a presidential candidate. And when they drive by in their car, they're like, oh my goodness. It was whoever. It was Biden. It was Trump. It was Obama. And they get so psyched because their favorite celebrity went by. No one had to tell them to worship or to praise or to freak out about how awesome it was that their favorite celebrity went by. Why is it not like that for Jesus? It's because you don't know who he is. If you knew who he was and that he was the creator of everything that you have falsely worshiped, then you would fall flat on your face and you would praise him and worship him not because he's just asking you to or pleading for you to, but out of your very nature because God created us, he created you and me to be people that worship God. Heaven is all about a place of worship. In heaven, everyone worships God, but not like they do in church. In church they have to force your hand to worship, they have to say: Shut up, stop texting on your phone, stop doing other things, stop being distracted, and start listening to this music, get the feeling of the bass, get the feeling of the guitar, and then lift your hands at this moment. It's very contrived. But in heaven, people worship God because he is so awesome. He's so awesome you will fall on your face and praise him and worship him. It won't make sense unless you get to know this God. Unless you get to know him, the best that you would be able to do is just bask in how awesome nature is. And that is only the canvas of what God has created. It's only his handiwork. But if you get to know the one true God, you will learn to worship him in spirit and in truth just as that woman at the well learned to worship the one true God. It's not about worshiping him in church. That's why Jesus said it's not about worshiping on this mountain or on that mountain, but it's about getting to know and worship God, the true worshipers in spirit and in truth. So are we truly worshiping God? Whether it is, through prayer, praising him, whether it is through seeing creation, giving him glory, whether it is through overcoming a certain situation in your life and you're giving God glory for that and you're worshiping him because he pulled you through a trial, a tribulation, a hardship, he he gave you the power to overcome, whether it is through music, whether it is through a revelation, whatever it is God gives you, are you worshiping him because you're acknowledging him and you're seeing and you're hearing him in your life? Or have you been blinded to the truth of how awesome God is and you're only worshiping dead religion? I encourage you to wake up to the truth. Get out of these false revivals. The Christian church today is full of false revivals. They think that they're reviving people by getting 1,000 people together and singing, what they call worship music. And they get everyone all hyped up. They get everyone all high on these songs, and they Televise it, they make it look like something great is happening and they leave there and as soon as they leave, they're still looking at pornography. They're still sleeping with the neighbor. They’re still committing, you know, adultery fornication. They're still smoking pot and living on the world. They haven't truly repented. There's been no revival of their soul. It was all an outward show. It was all a cleaning of the outside of the tomb, the sepulcher. We don't need any more sepulcher cleaning. We need to wash the inside. The inside needs to be purged, and then true revival can happen from the inside out. But all of these Christians that are throwing these huge revivals, they are worshiping music. They're worshiping leaders. They're worshiping feelings. They're worshiping in the flesh, but they're not worshiping in spirit and in truth. And if we wanna see true change, it needs to happen by us personally getting to know how great and awesome this God is. The same way Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did. The same way doubting Thomas did, and Peter did, and all of the 12 disciples, and all of the early apostles and disciples. We need to come to really know and worship Jesus and fall at his feet, and then he can purge us and purify us and change us from the inside out, that we can be a changed man or a changed woman. And then with the renewing of our heart like the apostle Paul says, then we can really worship God in spirit and in truth. Are you a true worshiper? Do you really love Jesus Christ out of the place of your heart where you know he is an awesome God? Or have you been manipulated and controlled by the false church that has made worship into nothing more than a silly 30 minutes of playing guitar on stage and a light show? It has nothing to do with that junk. The light of the world is coming to you to save you from your sins, to purge you of iniquity, to give you a new life, to give you hope, and to show you what it really means to worship in spirit and in truth. Will you worship God with your life, or is it sufficient enough for you to be duped and blinded by dead religion? I hope this encourages someone to really put their faith in Jesus and awaken to what it means to really worship the awesome God we have. The same God that parted the Red Sea, the same God that told Noah to build an ark and saved, that group of 8 people from the sea that rose. The same God that resurrected Jesus Christ from the dead. The same God that can open the eyes and the ears of the blind and gives all his people the faith to also work miracles in his name? Are we worshiping this God together or have we been deceived by the devil of old who is constantly blinding this world, blinding Christians, making even Christians think that faith is boring? That is about religion and about serving yourself. The more that you chase after men and their ideas of what church and religion and faith are, the more you will go into blackness. But if you get alone with Jesus Christ and if you worship him in spirit and in truth, you will learn who God really is. You will learn how he cares for your soul and that you are as clay that he is molding to a new image, not the image of your old self, but the image of God that he wants you to be. He's gonna purge you of the old self and make you a vessel of honor that can worship him forever and ever because that's what heaven is about. It's about the worship of God. Are we true worshipers who will worship God in spirit and in truth, or are we blind? So, "Lord Jesus, I pray for those that have been blinded by religion, blinded by this world, blinded by false Christianity into into thinking that the devil is wonderful and that the God of all creation is boring. I pray that they can repent, that they can come into your truth and worship you in spirit and in truth and cast out demons in your name, cast out devils in your name, and that they would hold fast to their faith in you and that they would worship you out of the purity of their heart knowing that you are worthy to be worshiped, honored, and praised. I pray that we can worship you the same way that the nation of Israel worship you when they cross through the Red Sea, and they sang songs and rejoiced because they knew that you were an awesome God. We wanna fall on our faces before you and praise you and worship you and live for you, Lord, because you are the only one worthy to be worshiped and honored and praised. In your name, we pray, Lord Jesus. Amen."

What Does it Mean to "Not Forsake the Assembly"?
Well, praise Jesus today, everyone. I wanted to speak about this idea that the Christians talk about a lot, which is don't forsake the assembly of ourselves together or don't forsake the fellowship. You have probably heard this before because it's a very popular verse for Christians to quote, especially for church attending Christians. They will always say, if you're not going to church on Sunday, then you're forsaking the fellowship and you're breaking the commandment of God because it's written in Hebrews 10 that, you know, if you're not going to church on Sunday, then you're forsaking the fellowship. Now the Bible doesn't really say exactly that, guys.
And a big question
would come down to what is an assembly? Because we can say all day long, don't
give up the fellowship. But what fellowship are we speaking about? What
assembly? Because that is key to what we're talking about. If we don't, assess what an assembly is, you
could call an assembly whatever you want and you could manipulate people to
come to your assembly saying, “thus says the Lord”. And we know that that is
just not the truth. So what is an assembly and what isn't it? So I want to read
the verse first from Hebrews chapter 10. Let's just read the verse that all the
Christians quote to try to make you feel guilty to go to their church, which is
Hebrews 10:25.
It says, not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is, but
exhorting one another so much more as ye see the day approaching. Already you
can tell that we're like in the middle of a sentence, in the middle of a
paragraph. We haven't even understood what we're talking about. But a lot of
Christians that are trying to secure the walls of their church, don't care
about context, because what they care about is manipulating you to feel bad
about not going to their church. So they will just say, look, the Bible says
you're forsaking the, the getting together with other Christians if you're not
going to church. So what church are we
talking about? There's no clarity in that. What group are we talking about or
what, you know, what assembly? They forget to define what that is. They just
say you can't give it up. So let's talk
about what does it mean to assemble. So if we just read a few more verses in
this same chapter of Hebrews chapter 10, it will clarify it a little bit
better. So let's back up to say for example verse 22 instead of just starting
in verse 25.
It says, Let us draw near with a true heart in
full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience
and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our
faith without wavering for He is faithful that promised He meaning Jesus and
let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works. Okay. So far we're starting to define what
this sort of fellowship should be. It should be fellowship with Jesus, people
that have a pure heart. If you look at verse 21, it says, having a high priest
over the house of God. We know that's Jesus Christ. So if we're not giving up a fellowship, this
fellowship should be people that are pure, holding each other to love and to
good works, and having fellowship with this high priest, meaning Jesus Christ.
So we're starting to get the context a little bit more just by reading like 3
verses before.
And then if you
read the first after, this is verse 26, it says, for if we sin willfully after
that we have received the knowledge of the truth, therefore remained no more
sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
indignation which shall devour the adversaries. They don't quote that in church
because that would scare away the Christians from paying tithe. See, it is key
what we're talking about when we're talking about an assembly. What assembly saves us, guys? Is it going to
Catholic mass? No. Is it going to a Baptist church? No. Is it going to an assembly of people that all
like the Raiders or the 49ers or the Lakers? Of course not. So what assembly
are we talking about? We're talking about a group of people that has in common
the love of Jesus Christ. So what assembly do we not wanna give up first and
foremost? It is the fellowship of Jesus
Christ. That is what we're looking at.
Now most churches
and gatherings of today, they are what are called 501c3 or tax exempt, and it
all revolves around the economy, politics. It all revolves around popularity,
pastors who have a well standing in their community. It revolves around the
politics in groups and clubs of men. But
it doesn't have to do with the spiritual kingdom of Jesus Christ. So again, if
we're talking about a true assembly, are we talking about the true assembly of
children that belong to Jesus? Or are we talking about an assembly of men who
have designed a club that has been associated with a 501c3, a government
organization? Are we talking about groups that belong to men? Because depending
on which you're talking about could totally change the whole entire topic.
So what the
Christians have done today if is they've turned the Bible and Hebrews, into
something that is trying to sanctify ungodly religion, and that is a problem.
They're trying to manipulate and fleece the flock, which basically just means
take your money and expedite the process of taking away your faith so that you
can just have faith in pastors, in your church organization, that you can have
faith in this corporation, and then you don't really have to be part of the
true household of faith, which is spiritual. Just believe and pay tithes and go
to church on Sunday and just know that by doing that, you're not giving up the
fellowship. Obviously, if our eyes are open to the truth, guys, we know that
this is false.
The true
fellowship means fellowship of Jesus Christ first, and if your faith really is
in Jesus first and if you run into another brother or sister in the Lord, then
you have fellowship with them as well. Now
we know throughout the scriptures where 2 or 3 are gathered together, God is
with them, whether that is in discipline, righteousness, deciding anything,
where 2 or 3 are gathered together. And if they're on the side of the Holy
Spirit, they are the true body of Christ. They are the church. And we're not to
give up fellowship with first the Holy Spirit, with Jesus, with our father in
heaven, and then with those who God has put in our life. Most likely, it is
your wife if you're married, your children if you have a family, it is the
people that are immediately in your life.
They are the true church and they are the ones that you shouldn't be
giving up the fellowship with if you are a family or if you are married. Now if
you are a unmarried person, there are still other people in your life that are
significant, maybe that look up to you. No matter if you're single or married,
either way, there is people that you will be influencing. And as the body of
Christ, you need to be upholding what it means to first and foremost have
fellowship with Jesus. This does not mean that you validate yourself as a
Christian by going to a 501c3 church or paying tithes to a club, an
organization of men. This is a
distinction that is very important to make because Jesus never talked about his
church being a physical brick and mortar church.
But the church of
today, the churches across America, across the United States, you know, across
the world, have turned what Jesus meant spiritually into a physical brick and
mortar and, you know, stone and wood church. And they say, unless you're going
to the physical church down the road and paying your tithe physically, then
you're giving up the fellowship. And that is a big fat lie from Satan.
God's true church
is spiritual. That's why Jesus says that
you have to worship him. That is the true worshipers must worship God in spirit
and in truth. It's not about finding a church on this mountain or on that hill,
in this town or in that city, but it's about learning how to worship God in
spirit and in truth. The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed
such as man observe them. But the kingdom of God is in our midst. That's what Jesus said. So Jesus made it very
clear that following him and being part of his church was not about physical
church attendance, saying that you have fellowship because you go to the
synagogue, or because you go to the temple, or because you go to a Catholic
mass or because you go to a Baptist church or because you call yourself
Pentecostal or whatever your cup of tea is, that is not the kind of fellowship
we're talking about.
True fellowship
with God happens spiritually, and the true church is a spiritual entity. And
the way you enter it is not by paying physical amount American dollars or
whatever economy you're a part of, but it's when you pray and say, “Lord,
please cleanse me of my sin. Wash me, baptize me, let me be washed clean so
that I can become part of your spiritual kingdom”. And when you become part of the spiritual
kingdom, then you become part of the assembly of believers that are all across
this entire earth. I am part of the true church, but I don't belong to any,
organization of men. I don't belong to a Baptist church anymore. I don't pay my
tithes to any organization. I know that is a big hoax. We need, as Christians, to belong to the
spiritual kingdom that your physical eyes can't see. It's not about going to
your local church body or doing corporate, worship or corporate prayer as they
like to say, but the true spiritual kingdom and this assembly gets together in
spirit and in truth, and it happens, wherever the Spirit of God is working. So
the question is, are you giving up the assembly spiritually? Or are you
connected to the Spirit of God because you're denying yourself daily, you're
picking up your cross daily even if you're alone, even if you're a single guy? Are
you choosing to be part of this spiritual kingdom and connected in the
spiritual realm to the king and his church that is all across the world?
Everything Jesus
says, guys, is spiritual. When Jesus
was, talking about his kingdom come, his will be done, he was not meaning that
or alluding to that you have to just get into a physical church, get your tithes
into a physical church, start building up churches of men. That's why Jesus
again and again said things like, not one of these stones will be standing upon
another. Not one will, not be, you know, all of them will be torn down, in
other words. And all the disciples marveled at that. They thought, well, when
will this happen, Lord? And over and
over again, he explained that his kingdom was spiritual, and if people wanted
to enter it, it had to happen in the spirit realm. This is the church that we
belong to. It is, cut out without physical hands. All the kingdoms of the earth
are physical, and because our eyes see physical things and our ears hear
physical things, it's very easy to put all our assets in this physical realm. But
what did Jesus say? Do not store up for
yourself things on this earth where moth and rust destroy, where thieves break
in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart is also. So where is
our heart? Where is our treasure? Is our treasure, in the physical church? Is it in the stock market? Is it in gold? I
am learning just how unstable the economy is. I'm learning just how unstable
the American dollar is, the stock market. All the things that we can put our
security in in this world are not very secure.
And even if they do stay secure for a time, even if the economy's doing
well, you can all of a sudden get cancer. You can get into a car accident. You
can run into tribulations with your marriage, with your family. There's an
unlimited amount of problems that we face in this world. And so what I'm saying
is we need to make sure that our assembly, that our faith, and that our
fortress really is in this kingdom with Jesus Christ, not in the fortresses
that are made of men, whether it's the economy, or a physical church or a
physical assembly.
So don't let this
idea, that Christians always speak of, of don't give up the assembly, don't let
that confuse you into thinking or guilt you into thinking that you need to be
part of a local church body. This is what the Christians that are religious
always are trying to press, and always they come back to this one verse in
Hebrews, Hebrews 10:25. But the crazy thing is, guys, they're taking one verse
that's not even a complete sentence. All they're saying is not forsaking the
assembly of ourselves together. They literally stop there. They don't read one verse before it or one
verse after to see what in the world is happening with Hebrews chapter 10. But
Jesus is always speaking about a spiritual assembly, a spiritual kingdom, and
in fact, we are told again and again to the scriptures not to participate in
the assembly of the ungodly or, or what fellowship does, Satan have or, a
Christian have with the devil?
I wanna read to
you one example of that, which is found in 2nd Corinthians. This is chapter 2.
So it says, be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion have light with darkness?
So right there, you could say the church system and the idea that you have to
go to church is false because there are a lot of Christians there that are
joined in with unbelievers, people that hate Jesus. They only care about money.
They are wolves in sheep's clothing, and they don't want people to come to the
truth of Jesus because then their little economy crashes. So what fellowship
have righteousness with unrighteousness?
Obviously, none. What communions have light with dark with darkness?
Obviously, none. What concord have Christ with Belial? Or what part have he
that believeth with an infidel? And what
agreement have the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the
living God.
So again, the
temple is not brick and mortar. It's not the church. It's not the Catholic church.
It's not the Baptist church. You are the church, and we know this, guys. God
has said, I will dwell in them, not a physical church, but in you. Even if you
are alone in your room or in a prison cell and you can never ever go to a
physical church again in your life. You still are the temple of God. You are
the church. It's crazy how Satan is, manipulating people to think that people
are not the church even though Christians say you are the church over and over
again. This is crazy, guys. As God has said, I will dwell in them and walk in
them and I will be their God and they shall be my people. This is the assembly.
And so what
assembly should we not be a part of? Well look, verse 17 of Corinthians chapter
6, wherefore come out from among them, which is false churches, false
believers, false assemblies, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing, and I will receive you. What is the unclean thing? The
unclean thing is dead religion, apostate churches. Those organizations that are
Baptists and Catholic that are claiming to be the children of God yet are
connected with the infidel, the false believer, and darkness. Come out from
among them, be separate. Touch nothing unclean and I will receive you and I
will be a father unto you and ye shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord
Almighty. This is the truth guys. It's right in front of our noses. We have
known these things since we were little children if we've been Christians. So
how is it that Satan has stolen away from us true faith, the real assembly
which is, the assembling of ourselves with Jesus and those people in our life
that really matter? You know, your wife, your brother, your children, your
grandchildren, people that really matter in your life. Satan has stolen away from
many Christians the reality of what the assembly is.
The crazy thing is
a lot of pastors have forsaken the true assembly with their wife, their
children, and they think that the assembly is with that group that are paying
tithe. And so they spend countless hours trying to mentor their congregation,
trying to get tithe to build a physical building from their congregation,
raising a $1,000,000 to build a new building across the street, and meanwhile
their own physical son, their own blood is, committing suicide. This happens
time and time again. The pastor's son is fornicating. The pastor's son is
suicidal, or just becoming atheist. And the pastor and the people in the
congregation are wondering why in the world, if our pastor is such a godly man,
why does his family struggle with depression, hatred, murder, lust,
pornography? The reason why is because that church has forsaken the assembly of
themselves together. Even though they get to church, they get to church on time
every Sunday, they have forsaken the true natural family of God, which is
themselves with Jesus and their own natural families. Those very natural
principles that God has set up, which is the family, your own relationship with
God, they have totally rejected for this false image of Jesus, this false image
of a church that they have called an assembly, which actually is just a 501c3.
It's an organization. It is a club of man.
Satan has been
very clever to take verses like this out of the scripture, out of Hebrews 10:25
and other verses, and turn it on its head to say, you're giving up the
fellowship, brother, if you're not going to church and paying tithe. The other
crazy thing with this is these same churches that say you shouldn't give up the
fellowship, you have to pay tithe, They're the same churches that love to, out
of the other side of their mouth, say, well, we're saved by grace, not by
works. We are New Testament believers. We don't believe in the works of the
law. So how can they be saying that they, live in the New Testament and by grace
in the blood of Jesus when they're preaching from the Old Testament ideas like
tithe and church attendance and all these things? Tithing is a principle from
the Old Testament, not the New Testament. Jesus never talked about tithing to
be saved. In fact, Jesus talked about complete denial, taking up your cross,
which means giving your whole life to God, not 10%. But these Christians like
to say, oh, we don't believe in the old covenant covenant. We believe in the
new. Yet then to force their members to feel guilty to pay tithe, to pay their
bills to their church, they pull out these verses from the Old Testament. It's
blatant hypocrisy.
If we want to be
part of the true assembly and not be deceived by those fleecing the flock and
these false shepherds that are hirelings, as Jesus calls them, then we need to
come out and be separate and join the true assembly that worships God in spirit
and in truth. I hope this makes sense to someone that has ears to hear. I have
a bunch of videos on this topic if you wanna look into more of it, if it gives
you any clarity. If you go to my channel, I have, some playlists on my channel
specifically on the church deception, on fellowship tithing deceptions. Just go
look through my playlists and you will see, that I have, like dozens of videos
on this topic, but it's well addressing again and again because so many
Christians think that they have to be part of a physical church in order to be
true Christians, and it's simply not true.
Again and again
throughout the scripture, Jesus emphasized the fact that the kingdom of God is
a spiritual kingdom that you don't see with your physical eyes. And again and
again, Jesus emphasizes that what he says is spirit. It's spiritual. And if you
want to enter his church and this true assembly, it has to happen by entering
his kingdom through prayer, in spirit, and in truth. Anyways, I wanna pray for those of you that
wanna be able to hear the truth. I wanna pray for those of you that wanna be
part of the true body as those in Acts were part of the true body of Christ and
had everything in common. I want to read to you, from Acts chapter 2 what it
says about the true church. It says, they continued steadfastly in the
apostles' doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayer. Our
fellowship, of course, has to be with Jesus. And when we speak and meet with
other people that have fellowship with Jesus, we can break bread with them, we
can eat together, we pray together. But it's not about religion. It's not about
starting a big church or a 501c3 or a group or a club. It's about individually
us meeting Jesus personally and then individually 1 on 1 sharing our
testimonies with other people. And as we're seeking the kingdom of God first in
our life, the Lord adds to our number each and every day.
So it says, And
the fear came upon every soul and many wonders and signs were done by the
apostles. And all that believed were together and had all things common and
sold their possessions and goods and parted them out to all men as every man
had need. And they continued and they continuing daily with one accord in the
temple and the breaking of bread from house to house did eat their meat with
gladness and singleness of heart, praising God and having favor with all the
people and the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
So this is how we
wanna be. We can't be the 1st century church, guys. We can't say that the
government should take responsibility of this. There are some Christians that
think that, the government should make, communal living situations. It just
won't work. When the government tries to do this, they end up stealing money
from rich people, giving it to poor, and they make lazy people more lazy, and
they heavily tax the rich, which is basically stealing. It ends up being
totally crazy and wrong. But for this to work truly, as it worked in the 1st
century, it has to be out of individuals' goodness of their heart because they
love Jesus first. And if as an individual, you as a Christian love the Lord and
you have a little bit extra money, then you help out another brother who's in
need. Maybe one day you're praying and you realize, oh, this other brother
needs a ride. So you give him a ride, or you give him food, or you help out
somebody. But this should never happen out of manipulation or out of the
government manipulating you or forcing more taxes. Any economy that's tried to
force, this kind of doctrine has always failed. It's never worked well.
But for the children of God, individually, if
they put their faith in Jesus, then it works because out of the goodness of
your heart, you love your brother, you love your wife, you love your children,
you love your neighbor as yourself, and you allow them to borrow your lawnmower
or you allow them to, you know, have a place to live or whatever the case is.
You help one another out, and that's what the church should do. So we need to
figure out how to become part of this spiritual kingdom that, that honors God
with everything that we have and serve him not out of manipulation, not because
a pastor is saying, you have to give 10% or you have to give 50% of your
income. No. That's not what it's about. But it's about you having fellowship
with God first, and then because you love the Lord, you're loving your
neighbor, you're loving your brother as yourself. Then you're part of the
spiritual body of Christ, and you're not giving up the fellowship. So let's
pray for eyes to see, ears to hear, and people to come into the true body of
Christ, that they can be led along by the gift of the Holy Spirit, by Jesus,
and that they won't fall prey to false religion or manipulative spirits that
are trying to manipulate people to give money to their organizations or to
their group. Let's pray that people really come into the spiritual kingdom that
knows Jesus and gives their time and their worship to Jesus Christ and just
honors God.
“So, Lord Jesus, I
pray for your true church, that true assembly that worships you in spirit and
in truth. We know that it's not about worshiping you, in a corporation or in a
501c3 or a government approved situation. We know that to come into your
presence happens when we are part of you spiritually, and that when we are
spiritually reborn, you come into our hearts and we become the temple. We
become the sanctuary. It's not about a physical meeting place, but we know that
it is about worshiping you in spirit and in truth. So I pray that you can take,
the shackles off people that have been bound by religion. I pray that you can
take the blindfolds off of the people's eyes and the blindness that have been
over people's eyes to keep them bound up in religion and in deception and all
the lies of the lying shepherds. I pray their eyes could be open to the truth
in these end times that we're living in, that they could come into your
kingdom, that they could come into worshiping you worshiping you and knowing
the true freedom there is in you, Lord Jesus. So I pray for your true church. I pray for your true fellowship and, your
true assembly. I pray they can be washed clean in your blood, filled with the
power of the Holy Ghost. I pray for more people to speak in their new tongues
and to demonstrate the fruit that comes from your Holy Spirit and that they
could have dreams and visions that come from God, that they could have
interpretations that truly come from God, not from men, and that we would just
have the fruit of your Holy Spirit and your gifts in our life, that we could
practice our talents that you have given us, and that we could go out and grow
spiritually as men and as women, and that you would add to our number. In your
name, I pray, Lord Jesus. Amen.”
We'll continue to grow in the faith. Don't be
deceived by religion. Don't be deceived by the church of today, but come into
the spiritual kingdom that worships the Lord Jesus in spirit and in truth.

When Aliens (demons) are Given Rights
Well, praise Jesus
today, everyone. Some time ago, President Trump, the former president, made a
comment about saying that he sure hopes that the US does not find them, you
know, on some planet or find them somewhere because we can know that if we did
find aliens, giving our money to them also undoubtedly. Our country is quick to
give money to all sorts of evil things, but we as individuals also are quick to
give ourselves over to evil things if we're not careful. As soon as you give
asylum to something in your heart, it becomes extremely difficult to get out.
As soon as you're giving financial aid to that, you're giving your money, your
time to that, it becomes very difficult to then eject those things out of your
life to cast them out.
It's much easier
to accept something in your life than to cast it out. That's why we have so
many people that are demon possessed and so few people that are able to cast
these demons out. One thing that maybe you have thought of before is just the
severity of what it would mean if these demons started to manifest physically
so that everyone could see them? You know, people talk about these UFOs and
they talk about these aliens, but it's not just totally science fiction now or
out of the realm to think about this. What if these demons started to manifest
in a way where they were given some sort of asylum in our country?
They were given
some sort of citizenship. Now we as Christians know that there is one specific
demon for each and every sin and then they have sub demons below that. They
have a whole hierarchy. So there's a demon over lust. There's then under lust,
one for pornography, one for, you know, pedophilia, and all these other demons
that are more and more, wicked.
And the lower down
demons are more, mutated and evil looking, the more and more animalistic they
look, the more mutated and ugly they are. And the higher they are up on the
level of their hierarchy, the more beautiful they look. They look more like an
archangel, they look more like an angel of light. Right? So if these demons
were somehow able to manifest in the physical realm and like how Trump made a
statement about, how if we were giving them money, this would be crazy because
we would be giving asylum or we would be giving a place of security to a sin,
to some kind of perversion, whether it is a sexual perversion, whether it is,
you know, like molestation, whether it is greed, hate, whatever the demon's
name is that they have changed to a different name, now we'd be securing that
demon saying, you have citizenship in our country, we will give you financial
aid, we will protect you. And if anyone speaks evil against you, then, they're
a racist because we see you as a race and as a nation and as an individual.
Guys, this doesn't have to happen physically. It's already happening
spiritually. In other words, there doesn't have to be a physical manifestation
of a demon and a physical government such as the United States to give, a
citizenship to a demon. That may be a science fiction. Maybe that could
possibly happen. I don't know. But the reality is that doesn't have to happen
and it already is happening spiritually today.
Let me explain. If
someone is a pervert, say they are a pedophile, for the longest standing time,
that has been illegal. All it would take is an act of, you know, a new
political bill, some pervert to be higher up, and all they'd have to do is sign
it and make it illegal to speak against pedophilia, and then suddenly you can't
speak up against, pedophiles. Otherwise, you're a racist. All it takes is
someone, in a high political area to sanctify it, to give it, a place of, you
know, an area that is secure, and then suddenly you can't speak against these
sins. We're already to a point that if you speak up too much against
homosexuality, transgender, you know, gay marriage, if you just speak up for
what you believe in as a Christian, they're gonna cast you out. In a lot of
cases, people have been thrown into jail. They’ve lost their jobs just for
standing up against sin, because what is happening is these demons are becoming
citizens, and so no longer are people saying, this is a demon. They're saying,
this is a person that deserves immunity. They deserve equal respect. Guys,
these things are demons, and our government is trying to make these demons into
citizens so that you can no longer rebuke and speak evil against sin. As
Christians, we have to be able to cast demons out, otherwise, we won't be
inhabited by the Holy Spirit.
If we can't cast
devils out and keep our heart clean and our mind clean and our tongue clean,
then Satan will enter into us, we will be casting out the Holy Spirit from us
and these demons of lust, hatred, sexual perversion, all of these things are
going to enter us and we will have no ability to live righteously. This is
exactly what the devil wants. The devil wants asylum. He wants a place of
sanctuary in your heart. He wants to live in you and dwell in you and possess
you.
And a lot of
people including Christians are possessed by Satan today, and it's near
impossible for them to cast these demons out because these demons have made themselves
a personality in them. They've made themselves a living being inside these
people's flesh. They can't get rid of these demons. And the governments of the
world, the principalities of the world are in cahoots with the principalities
of evil. And Satan is working to get his demons immunity, within the
governments of the world. That is what is happening spiritually right now. I
see these demons who once were hiding in the closets that were despicable
enough that no one want to speak about them, and now these demons are coming
out of the closet and they're looking to find citizenship. They're look to be
they're looking to be called human beings. They're taking on flesh. And, when
they are given citizenship and when they're given a body, it's gonna be impossible
for you to speak up against sin without consequences.
When things like
this have happened in the past, Christians have been beheaded, they've been
burned at the stake, they've been killed. Guys, for being a Christian, we're
looking at really serious times if we wanna continue to follow Jesus Christ and
keep these demons out. And there's gonna be a huge separation between the sheep
and the goats, the wheat and the tares, you know, the children of God and the
children of the world. And will we be refined in this fire? Will we go through
the refiner's fire and come out refined? Will we come out purged and clean? Or
will we be burnt up like all the rest of the chaff in the stubble because we
had no foundation to our faith? We weren't really on the rock of Jesus Christ.
Remember guys, Jesus is in the fire. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego stood up
for what was right. They were thrown into the fire and when Nebuchadnezzar
looked into the fire, he said he said, didn't we throw 3 men in? But I see a
4th and that 4th man looks like the Son of God or the Son of the Gods. And he
called Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to come out of the fire and they came
out of the the the fire without smelling like fire. They had been with the Son
of God. And that is what we are gonna do as Christians.
We are gonna go
through the refiner's fire, but we know from what Jesus said in the end times,
will he find faith on the earth when he returns? Most Christians lack true love
because iniquity is an increasing and abounding. Few Christians are standing up
for what is right. They're scared to walk the straight narrow path for what the
beast will do to them. They're, they're scared of their family. They’re scared
of, what’s happening politically. And most people just shut up and they stop
talking because they fear the beast system. But we as disciples of Jesus are
not called to be cowards or to just go hide in a corner. We're called to be
lights, we're called to be fighting the good fight, we're called to engage in
this war of Armageddon and to fight against these demons. Will we stand up and
continue to cast these demons out even if they're given residency, even if
they're given citizenship, will we continue to cast out these demons of lust,
of hatred? Will we continue to have true love in us for Jesus Christ in our
fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord? Or will we fall into this false sort
of love that the world has that loves worldliness that says you have to love
both perversion and everything else in the world in order to be a good citizen.
Will we believe that kind of garbage or will we hold fast to our faith in Jesus
Christ? And what we know the prophet spoke in the bible about holiness and
righteousness? Will we stand up for what we believe in Jesus and live by his
words, or will we fall into the trap of the devil?
I hope that you
have your feet on the rock of Jesus Christ because everything in this world is
going to be shaken. Again and again, it will be shaken. And everything will be
shaken except that which is unshakable, which is the foundation, the
cornerstone. So are your feet grounded on that cornerstone, or are you on the
wishy-washy ground? Are you on the sand that when the waters, the floods come,
everything that you built will be all washed away and all become nothing. I
hope that your faith is genuine, and I hope that you really are being led by
Jesus and not by, you know, what the pastors are saying, what the modern day
prophets are saying. I hope that you're really being led by Jesus by the
guidance of his holy spirit, such as we read in John chapter 14 through 16.

How to Hunger and Thirst for righteousness When You Don't
A big problem we have today in our culture is a lack of men who desire holiness and righteousness. What our culture desires is entertainment. People give all their energy to their phone, to the TV, and to this sort of entertainment that just rots our brains. And at the end of the day, because all of our dopamine has been stolen out of us, we have no desire for the righteousness and holiness to get to know God or encourage our fellow brother or sister in the Lord. This is a huge problem.
Satan
is robbing what is yours right out of your heart and if you don't get a hold of
it and start desiring what is righteous you will have nothing left. You will
have no presence of God in your life. You will have no true joy. You will have
given all of your energy and all of your time to things that are completely
irrelevant for your eternal destiny. You're determining your destiny right here
and right now.
If
you ever ask an addict if it was worth it to give their life to drugs and
alcohol, they would tell you, of course not. But why do they continually do it?
They have set up a pattern in their life. They've fallen into a rut, and they
are addicted and they feel they have no choice. Whatever patterns we set up in
our life, those we just start doing.
It
is not natural for us to just hunger and thirst for righteousness. If you
haven't been praying, you don't just naturally pray continually without ceasing
as the Bible talks about. If you haven't been in the throne room talking with
Jesus, you're not just naturally there. As men, we're not gonna just naturally
wanna stand up for good just because it's easy. It's not easy.
It's
not easy to take up our cross. It's not easy to make good habits. It's not easy
to overcome the flesh to deny ourselves to reject evil. It's not easy just to
cast out all evil thoughts and to guard our tongue and our heart, to guard our
eyes and our ears, those things don't come naturally. We have to start making
patterns and choosing good over evil, loving the light over darkness.
And
when we do so, when we start practicing what is right, then God starts to
instill in us and put in us a desire for righteousness and holiness. You may
have no desire or hunger or thirst for righteousness in you right now because
you are not practicing it, but you are practicing watching your phone. So
you're gonna have a desire to watch more things on your phone, probably really
frivolous things that don't matter. Maybe you have a desire to look at porn or
other things that are wicked. And because you're practicing that, that is
what's taking your energy and you're giving more and more energy to that.
That's
because you're practicing that. You're feeding your flesh. No wonder you have
no desire for righteousness and holiness. You're not practicing what is good,
but you're practicing what is perverted and what is evil. If you desire to
practice righteousness and holiness, then you will also have a hunger and
thirst for righteousness.
So
right now if there is something in you that desires to choose good over evil,
but just a very little amount, not much at all, muster up everything you have
and say, “Lord, please give me more of this hunger and
thirst for righteousness, so I can build my spiritual man and start putting down
the flesh that I can start practicing what is good in overcoming, and start
putting out and casting out these demons of evil, all these bad habits, all
these bad thoughts, all the lust of the flesh, all these things that I know are
bringing me to hell.“ If you wanna overcome in Jesus's
name, you need to start praying for a hunger and thirst for righteousness. And
as you practice what is good and make habits that are good, the Lord will start
to build you up. You will start to desire holiness and righteousness. One small
example I have of this is jogging, running, exercise.
When
I didn't exercise much, I had very little desire to go on a jog with my wife.
Even when I lived up in Yosemite, I lived right in the park for a while. And
even though it was the great outdoors because I was out of shape and didn't
like running, I didn't really wanna exercise and go on a mile jog in the valley
even though it was in Yosemite, one of the most beautiful places on earth with
my wife. But after I was convinced that, okay, I will do it one time even
though I don't really like it. I don't hunger and thirst for this.
I
just did it because my wife was wanting me to. I knew it was the right thing. I
didn't wanna do it, but I knew it was good for my health. I did it and the first
few times I didn't really enjoy it. I just did it because I knew it was right,
but then I started to make a pattern of going on a mile jog or a 3 mile jog.
After
a year or so went on, I started to crave jogging. I started to enjoy it. It
became a time where I could not only just jog but I could talk with my wife on
a jog, I could pray, I could think. It became something that I desired. It was
a habit that I built that was a good habit.
And
these are the sorts of things we need to build into our life if we wanna desire
holiness and righteousness. You're not gonna just naturally wanna pray
continually without ceasing like the Bible says. You're not gonna wanna just
naturally be in the throne room of God with Jesus and him telling you all the
things that you've done wrong so that then you can get better. It's painful to
see yourself how you really are, but if you choose to start walking this path,
if there's anything in you that desires holiness, then muster up every bit of
it you have and start doing what is right and God will reward you. The spirit
of God will start giving you the ability to overcome and to desire more
holiness and more righteousness.
Without
righteousness, no one is gonna see God. No one's gonna please him. We have to
be holy and righteous, and we have to have faith. So if there is something in
you that desires to go this path, the path of the righteous, say, ‘Lord, I need a hunger. I need a thirst for righteousness. I
hardly have any right now, but I want that to be built in me. I want to have a
desire for the light. I want to hate the darkness. I want to have a desire for
good and hate evil“, and as you start praying and
practicing righteousness, the Lord will build you up. He will give you more
faith. He will give you a new tongue. He will give you the gift of the Holy
Spirit.
I
wanna pray for you right now if you are someone that is wanting to give your
life to Jesus fully, that you wanna commit, that you wanna hunger and thirst
for righteousness, and you just wanna overcome in Jesus's name. “So Lord Jesus, I pray for those, my fellow brothers and
sisters who want to hunger and thirst for righteousness that wanna overcome by
the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony that wanna have new
life and partake in your new covenant. I pray that they would devote their life
to you, that they would make habits of righteousness, that they would deny
themselves daily, take up their cross, and learn to live righteously, to learn
to love the light and the truth, and to hate evil and to hate darkness. We pray
to be the sons and daughters of the light. In your name, I pray lord Jesus.
Amen.”

Obvious Truth That No One is Speaking
We'll praise Jesus today, everyone. I wanted to read to you some plain truth that's right in front of our eyes that Jesus spoke, but that is not commonly taught in church because it is veiled. They don't wanna see the truth because they themselves are in sin and also want you to stay in sin so that you can support these church systems. But for those of us that want to come out of the world, to come out of dead religion, and to be set free, these words of Jesus Christ are for us. So, I'm reading from Matthew chapter 7. I'm gonna start in verse 12.
“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is
the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and
few there be that find it.”
There are many
churches and many Christians in our town, and they are accepting of many
different lifestyles. But there is only one way that leads to the truth and
there are very few who find it in that way is through Jesus Christ. And the reason why it's so hard is because
this straight and narrow path with Jesus requires that you daily deny yourself,
take up your cross, and follow this Messiah, this king. Even if people hate you
and despise you, even if no one is in your corner, it requires you following
Jesus by faith and not by sight even when no one agrees with you. You have to be
strong in the Lord and confident to follow him because often you will have no
support, you won't have any friend in your corner except the spirit of God.
This is what I want to bring light to today what Jesus says starting in verse
15.
“15 Beware of false
prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening
wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but
a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree
that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
This statement of
Jesus is not widely popular in church because the saying in church with
Christians is, you can't know my heart, brother. You can't know my heart,
sister. That's not my real intentions. I said that, but that's not my heart.
But what Jesus is clearly saying is you can see people's fruit on the outside. And I wanna expose to you that it is
impossible for someone to have good fruit but a bad heart or vice versa. So
would it be possible to know that someone's fruit is all bad, but then to
suppose, well, I can't know their heart. Their heart must be good, but their
fruit is all bad. According to Jesus, I mean, if you follow logic in what he
said, that's an impossibility. But that is the truth that in church, Christians
don't want you to know or to openly state because a lot of Christians, they
have outward problems. They outwardly
curse. They are gossiping. They're speaking evil. They're telling dirty jokes.
They're always cussing. They're taking
Jesus's name in vain. And these things are so obvious to see, guys. If someone
claims to be a leader in the church, if they claim to be of Christ, yet they're
dropping the f bomb, they're cursing people, they're gossiping, they're
degrading women, you can know that these people are not spending time with
Jesus because any child of God, they're gonna have a pure tongue. Their heart
is gonna be pure. They've spent time with the king. What is filling them is the light of Jesus
Christ. There's no way they're gonna be degrading women and speaking dirty
jokes and making you feel silly for not going along with their jokes. I don't
know how many Christians there are that think it's okay to take Jesus' name in
particular in vain, that are always talking in a way that's degrading to
people? How can we be called the body of Christ if we're like this? If there is
someone that you know in the church that is doing this, you can know that they
are a wolf in sheep's clothing.
If you truly come
to Jesus Christ, one of the very first things that the Holy Spirit is gonna
take charge of is your tongue. That's why he says he gives you a new tongue.
You don't have that old tongue that continually gossips, continually says
things that are evil, slandering people, hating people with your tongue,
breathing out just things that are murderous, tearing people down. As soon as
you put your faith in Jesus, you are humbled, and your speech also recognizes
that. You recognize Jesus with every word that you speak. So you can know for a fact that someone's
heart is bad if you can see bad fruit coming off of their lips. This truth is
so obvious, so plain, guys. It's right in front of you. Don't be deceived by
Christians that say, “oh, that's just what I said. I just dropped the f bomb,
but you don't know my heart. I just took
Jesus' name in vain and I told a dirty joke, but you can't know my heart,
brother.” That is just ridiculous. It's impossible to have bad fruit but a good
heart. If your fruit is bad, your heart is bad also.
And a lot of
people's problem is they're not spending time with Jesus. They haven't truly repented. And even though
they're Christians all their life and they've said a prayer, they read the
Bible, they're leaders in church, they have never repented and been born again.
If we want everlasting life, we have to be born again and truly repent of our
sins. Otherwise, these sins are taking us to hell and we're leading other
people to hell. We're scattering the body of Christ. Either we are gathering, or we are
scattering. So let's not be deceived by false prophets, by wolves in sheep in
sheep's clothing or just plain wolves that are not in sheep's clothing at all.
Let us be wise to stand in the truth and to call it like it is. If someone is
following the Lord, we encourage them, but if someone is pretending, we know
that they are not part of the body of Christ. We stand up against what is evil. We don't pretend to be like these people are
Christians.
How are we doing?
Are we bearing good fruit or are we like those Christians who are about to be
cut off? I wanna make sure that my own life is right before God, so I stay
humble. We keep our nose down, but our head up.
We keep our eyes looking up to Jesus, but we stay humble before God so
that he can use us. God doesn't use the proud. He doesn't use the arrogant, but
he uses those who are humble that can be used for his purpose that will stay
steadfast with him to continue to walk that straight narrow path and not waver.
Too many Christians are wavering. They don't take sides with the truth when it
gets hard. They will leave you. They
will forsake you, but they don't forsake their life to walk with the Lord
regardless of what he asks them to do. So let us be the body of Christ that are
separate from the whole religious crowd, separate from this world that is quick
to deny Jesus, separate from false prophets and false leaders, separate from
walking the line of the world and with God having 1 foot in the world, 1 foot
with the Lord. We need to dedicate ourselves as the Lord's disciples fully to
him and just walk in purity, calling others to have their new tongue, calling
others to be part of this regeneration where they are reproved, made clean,
purged of sin, and have on their white robes ready for the wedding supper of
the lamb.
We wanna take part
with, with Jesus in his new covenant. It's
not about keeping all the laws of the Old Testament as the Judaizers would have
you believe. There's many Jews and Christians that try to promote all the Old
Testament laws of Moses as if you keep those, you'll go to heaven. They teach
the old covenant, the old law, the 613. But we, as Jesus' disciples, are all
about the new covenant that was made through Jesus' blood that atones for our
sins, and we're all about that covenant and that truth that he puts on our
heart that we know good from evil and loving the Lord our God with all our
heart, our neighbor as our self, and always staying in the light. We need to be
living the new covenant, breathing the new covenant, bleeding the new covenant,
and teaching others about the new covenant of Jesus, his death, his
resurrection, and that what it actually means to obediently follow him in this
new covenant, eating his flesh and drinking his blood, being in genuine
communion with him.
So I wanna pray
for those of you that want communion with Jesus, that wanna live by the hard
teachings of Jesus and not be riding the fence any longer, but that want the
new life in him to be purged and be made new. “So, Lord Jesus, I do pray for
your church, my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord who want to be purged
and purified and called out from the world. I pray that they hear your calling
and that we will be chosen to do your work and walk in that calling and follow
you all the days of our life and be unwavering that we will not be distracted by
the world or fall into all the temptations of the flesh, but that we would be
separate and sanctified and anointed for your purpose, that we ourselves would
be saved and edified, and that we would also help in the preservation of
others, that sinners would come to repentance and come into everlasting life
and also bear good fruit. So I pray for your church that we would bear more
good fruit, that we wouldn't be cut off, but that we would endure with you and
overcome with you and, bear much good fruit for you every day, Lord. In your name we pray. Amen.”
The Last Day and the Afterlife
Praise Jesus today, brothers and sisters in the Lord. We can be encouraged and take great courage in the fact that when we are absent from this body, we are present WITH the Lord granted we walked our life in the truth of Jesus Christ. We daily have to deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and follow Jesus to the very end of our life. What I wanted to speak about today is a couple deceptions that are in the Christian church that make some people sad or make people feel good about a lie, and that is the reality of both heaven and hell. We know that hell is real. It's a place that Jesus talked about frequently where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. We know that it is eternal. Jesus spoke about it in such manner. And he even said to Judas that it would be better that that man was never born. So obviously, if annihilation were true and you just cease to exist, that would be 1 in the same thing as Judas never being born.
But the fact is
after Judas committed suicide, he went to the lake that burns with fire that
Jesus spoke of because he rejected God, and the last act that he did was
suicide. He killed himself. Jesus clearly said it would be better for him that
he was never born. Not just because he was the one who turned him in, but
because of the torment he would experience in the afterlife ever after that.
Likewise, heaven is real.
It's a place where
we go when we endure with Jesus to the very end. And also, for those of us that
belong to our father in heaven, when we die, we will immediately go to the
place where God resides, that he has made for us. There is not a waiting place.
There is not this, purgatory idea, and it's not, soul sleep where we just sleep
in the ground for a 1000 years. Now there are some churches and some Christians
that believe in soul sleep, and they believe that you just stay in the ground
for a 1000 years, or a 1000000 years, or however long until Jesus returns, and
that all Christians for all time, from the beginning of time up until now if
you die, will lay dead in the dirt until the great judgment throne of God when
he resurrects everyone on the final day.
Interestingly, if
we look what the final day is, the final day is not the final day of the world
or the earth, but the final day actually represents our final day, our final
breath. So when Jesus is saying endure to the end, he's not saying to you,
endure to the end of the world or the end of the universe until the day that
the whole world disappears and disintegrates, but he's speaking, endure to the
end of your life. Whatever your life is, you must endure with Jesus and
overcome to the very end of it. And when you endure to that day, on that day
that you physically die, then if you have overcome in the name of Jesus, you
will inherit everlasting life. This is a really cool thing, guys, because this
gives us hope that our God is the God of the living and that we will
immediately be with him in everlasting life if we believe. We don't have to
soul sleep or wait 10 years, or a 1000 years, or however many years it is for
the Lord to return as the Christians understand it. Because Jesus will return
for you as soon as you complete your own life, as soon as your life ends. Now a
couple things that were coming to my memory today, one was that when Jesus was
at the transfiguration, he saw a couple people that had died, Elijah, Moses,
and those people were not soul sleeping. But he saw them in the spiritual
realm, and they were alive with his father in heaven. No soul sleep.
And later, when
Jesus talks to the Sadducees, and we know that the Sadducees did not believe in
the resurrection of the dead. He said that God, his father, is the God of the
living, not the God of the dead. If it were true that we sleep after we die and
that our soul sleeps in the earth until the last day, meaning the last day of
the universe or the last day of the earth, then it would have to be said that
God is the God of the dead until the last day when he resurrects, and then God
can be considered the God of the living only after he has resurrected those dead
bodies. But that is not the truth. The truth is Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, all
the patriarchs, all the disciples who put their faith in Jesus are living today
in the Kingdom of God in eternity, making God the God of the living and not the
God of the dead, and that is how it's to be interpreted.
That's clearly
what Jesus said and clearly how everyone who has eyes to see will see it. God
is the God of the living, not the God of dead people. Therefore Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob, Jonah the prophet, all these other guys who serve God in their
lifetime and overcame all the trials in this life. They're not dead sleeping in
their grave waiting for the final Bemessie or the final judgment throne of God.
Their judgment has already come, and God has already judged in their favor, and
they're already in an everlasting life with our father in heaven.
So we can take
great joy and encouragement in the fact that God, our father, is the God of the
living. And if you are living in Jesus Christ, and if you endure to the end,
you can also have this hope that you will immediately be with the Lord in
everlasting life. You will not have to wait. Interestingly, throughout the
years, Jews that were both Pharisees, Sadducees, had this kind of idea that the
last day meant the last day of the world and that no one would be resurrected
from the dead until the last day, meaning the last day of all people on the
earth. And one example of this was when Jesus's friend Lazarus dies, remember
he was dead for 4 days, Jesus tarried in this town and it took Jesus a while to
come into the town and Mary and Martha are saying to him how his body is
already stinking in the grave and how if Jesus was there, Lazarus wouldn't have
died yet, but Jesus then says that it's to their advantage that he didn't come
because, you know, they're gonna see the glory of God now that he has come and
is there.
And Jesus says to
her, I'm gonna read John chapter 11 starting in 23, Jesus sayeth unto her, thy
brother shall rise again. So Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise
again in the resurrection at the last day. And see, you have to understand when
Christians and also Jews think of the last day, they're not thinking of the
last day of someone's physical life. They're thinking of the last day of the
world after everything has come to completion, all the prophecies have been
fulfilled, sometime a 1000000 days in the future. And upon that day, God will
then resurrect those that are worthy, and the rest he will leave in the dirt to
then spend their judgment in hell.
So that is how the
Jews saw it, that's obviously how Martha saw it, and it's how many Christians
see it today. They they think that their soul sleep or that you won't get your,
your heavenly body until years years in the future. And this day will come someday
in the future after a rapture and all this stuff that the church has taught.
But let's see what Jesus does. So Martha said into him, I know that he shall
rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Jesus said unto
her, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever live and believe in me shall never
die, believest thou this?' She said unto him, 'Yea, Lord, I believe that thou
art the Christ, the son of God, which should come into the world.' And when she
had so said, she went her way and called Mary her sister secretly saying, the
master has come and calleth for thee. As we know, guys, Jesus calls Lazarus out
of the dead. And even after 4 days when he would start rotting in the tomb, Lazarus
hears Jesus's voice, he comes out fully with the grave clothes, and all people
are frightened.
They are amazed.
Those that believe in Jesus are completely astonished. They put their faith in
Jesus right there, as would you I. But those who are enemies of Jesus are so
appalled that he did this. They immediately try to contrive a way that they
will kill Jesus because they go out saying everyone is gonna believe in this
prophet.
He can open the
eyes of the blind, open the ears of the deaf. He can raise the dead after 4
days. How are we gonna stop people from believing in a guy that does this in
plain daylight? And they even said, we're gonna lose our kingdom here on earth
if people believe in this Jesus and then the Romans are just gonna take it all
from us. So they try to secure their boundaries and they try to figure out a
way how to silence Jesus and kill him.
Crazy. Crazy that
there are people out there that don't care that Jesus can save them and do a
miracle, that he can raise the dead, he can give them life. That is crazy to me
that people don't see, that they don't they just have nothing to lose. I have
known people even on their death beds, their old age. They have nothing to
lose, guys.
And still they're
unwilling to put their faith in Jesus. They're not willing to give up, the
absolutely nothing of a life that they have. You know, it it may make sense in
the world when you're young that you have something to live for other than
Jesus. Maybe you're living for money, you're living for pleasure, you're living
for women. But it's crazy to me that people will live their whole life making
excuses.
And then even when
they're 80, 90 years old, and on their deathbed, some of these people are still
rejecting their only hope in Jesus. It's very sad. It's very sad that the
Pharisees and that the modern day Christians today literally just hope that
there's no resurrection of the dead. They will tell you there's no hell. They
will say don't worry about it.
The afterlife
probably doesn't exist anyway. And they don't care that Jesus is the risen
Messiah, that he can resurrect people from the dead, give them hope and life.
But for those of us that see these miracles, Jesus becomes our Lord. We worship
him. We don't care that other people are saying, oh, you can't worship Jesus.
He's just the son
of God. He's not worthy to be worshiped. We don't believe any of that rubbish.
We worship Jesus. We praise his holy name just as all the angels have done
forever and ever.
This is our King
who was and who is and who will be forevermore. The kingdom is his forever and
ever, and every tongue, every nation, every person will confess even if they
hate Him that He is Lord and God. Jesus is Emmanuel, He is God with us. He's
the one that resurrects people from the dead and gives us life. And if we put
our faith in him, today we will have life.
We will be
resurrected spiritually from the dead. It doesn't matter how we interpret the
words of the Apostle Paul, it doesn't matter all the doctrines in the church,
Jesus will resurrect you today, he will give you life today. You don't have to
wait. And if you endure with Jesus each day of your life putting your faith in
him, denying yourself, putting to death the old man of the flesh and letting
that new man be built up by the Holy Spirit, then Jesus will live in you. The
return of Jesus Christ will be today for you, not a 1000 years in the future.
Jesus will return
to earth right now for you. He will be in you in your heart. He will return
into you and be living in you for now and into eternity. And when you live for
him until the last day of your life, then you will be raptured so to speak or
caught up into the clouds with Jesus because you've lived with Him, you know
Him. He is your personal Lord and your personal King, and He will rapture you
at that moment, not in a 1000 years, not after a 7 year tribulation, you
already had gone through your tribulation.
So the moment you
die will be the day that you meet Jesus face to face. You will know that He is
in you and you in Him and you will know your Lord. It won't be you just meeting
a Bible or meeting some scripture verses. It will be as the Apostle Paul spoke
that you will finally meet him face to face. This world hates Jesus.
They hate God.
They hate revelation. They hate the truth. Any words of life to them are
bitter, they're hateful, they despise it, they make fun of it, they mock it,
they try to tear down anything the spirit of life is doing. But for those of us
that have our faith in Jesus Christ, we know that he offers the words of life even
if they are the difficult words, the hard words to digest.
We continue to go
back to him because only Jesus has the words of life. Jesus says, eat my flesh
and drink my blood. When Jesus said that most of all the disciples who were on
the outside, you know, those 5,000 men that followed him for food the day
before, all of them started to walk away saying, who can understand this? We're
not gonna be a cannibal. We're not gonna eat this guy's flesh.
We have a father
in heaven. Who is this Jesus? They walked away from him and Jesus turned to his
own disciples and he said, are you gonna turn away from me also? And then Peter
said, Lord, where will we go? Only you have the words of life.
That is where I
want to be. I want to be with Jesus because my hope isn't in my money, not in
my wallet, not in retirement, not in my car, not in my house, not in the
securities and structures and safety nets of this world But my security and my
refuge and my rock is in my salvation of my King, Jesus Christ. He is king of kings.
He's the God who was, the God who is, and who forever will be. Is your faith in
the rock?
Do you have his
hedge of protection around you? Or are you like those Christians in the world
who are deceived, who think that they have protection because they're in
religion? Let us not be like those who are self righteous, thinking that we're
right because we go to church, because we've said the prayer of salvation, and
think that we are once saved, always saved. But let let us be truly humble
before God, daily working out our salvation with fear and trembling, asking for
the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not seeking the counsel of men in things that
are of eternity, but the counsel of the Holy Spirit who is given to us to lead
us and to guide us into all truth and to bring into our memory the things that
he's already taught us and to teach us even things to come. So where is your
hope?
Is your hope in
Jesus, the resurrected king, who will resurrect you on the last day, who will
bring you up the day that you die in the everlasting life, or is your hope in
this world? I just hope that as a brother in the Lord, I can encourage you in
these last days to put your faith in Jesus Christ. None of us know how long we
have. We don't know if nuclear war will break out as they talk about all the
time now on the Internet. We don't know if Russia or China will start another
3rd war or start a 3rd war that that's gonna destroy everyone.
We don't know if
famine or pestilence will break out. The world is a very insecure place.
There's no security in the world. Even the kings will say, fall on us and they
will dig tunnels under the ground, and still that will not keep them from the
judgments that are coming on this world. If we want protection, it's not about
just running to the hills or running underground into underground tunnels or
having a food source saved up, nestled away safely in some storage bin.
But the true
security is in Jesus and in eating his flesh and drinking his blood. Are we
being nourished from heaven such as how the Israelites were being nourished by
manna from heaven or are we putting our identity and security in the arm of the
flesh thinking that we will be secure when everything hits the fan by our own
securities? Man, you won't be able to secure yourself enough, there's not
enough that you can do to get yourself enough that you can do to get yourself
through even a year, let alone 7 years or the rest of your life, however long
that is. You would do better to cry out to your Messiah for mercy and say,
Lord, save me. Save me from my sins.
Save me from my
enemy. Please give me hope. Let me not be discouraged or suicidal or beat down
or destroyed by the enemy, but give me hope, give me direction, give me
clarity, give me renewed strength so that I can endure to my last day, whatever
that is. And also pray that you can bear good fruit so that you can be counted
worthy in the last day to escape the judgments that are coming on the rest of
this world. Most people, including Christians, are not gonna be counted worthy
because they were just religious.
They had their
security in their church, and in their Bible, in their family, but they never
had their security in their messiah, in the savior of this world. Jesus already
made the way for us. He has already died. He is resurrected. The Christians
celebrate this every Easter.
But what they
should be considering is their own resurrection. How they should be crying out
to Jesus for their own resurrection because they're spiritually dead. And
anything that is spiritually dead is eventually gonna be cast out into the
fire. We wanna be spiritually resurrected. We want spiritual life that we can
endure with our Messiah who already has been resurrected from the dead, who has
already made the way.
And if we put our
faith in him, then he resurrects us. Evil falls off of us, we're purged, we're
purified and made as pure as glass and refined as those metals are spoken of,
those 12 metals in Revelation, and were made ready for the wedding supper of
the lamb. We need to prepare. Jesus is on the way for His bride, for those who
are holy and pure. And a lot of people will not be prepared.
They're wasting
time. They haven't secured themselves with Jesus. They haven't bound the strong
man as Jesus spoke prophetically. They're not making the way for the Lord in
their own hearts but they're wasting time with TV, entertainment, the pleasures
of this life, living sinful lives, gratifying the desires of their flesh,
gossiping, hating their neighbor, slandering others, living for the gospel of
demons that is polluting the way of the truth, they're scattering the brethren,
persecuting people even unto death. Instead of living holy and being separate,
they're joining themselves with the antichrist of this world.
Where will we be
in this whole war of Armageddon? And each of these small battles that come up
in our life, will we be victorious? Is Jesus Christ fighting our battles? Are
we overcoming in the name of the lamb by the word of our testimony? Do we have
a testimony?
And are we
overcoming by it and by the blood of Jesus Christ? Or have we lost sight
because the light is no longer in us? Jesus said, your eye is the light of your
body, but if it has become dark, how great is that darkness? The true light,
the light of the world, has already come. And if you receive him, he becomes
the light.
He becomes your
eye. He will come in you. He will be in your body, and you will become part of
the body of Christ. But so many Christians don't have the light of the world in
them. They're looking for a light in all these dark places.
They're looking
for joy and happiness in places that they will never find, and they're seeking
God in all the wrong spots. If you want truth, you need to go to Jesus. He is
the truth, the life, and the way. A lot of people think Christians are silly.
It will come out eventually that the only ones who had the truth are those
light bearers, those Christians that were true disciples of Jesus who had the
light inside of them in their hearts and who sought after a kingdom that did
not exist on this planet.
A kingdom that is
spiritual, that can't be achieved by human hands or the setting up of brick and
mortar churches, but truly a kingdom that is chiseled out of the rock without
human hands that comes to destroy every other kingdom in the whole universe
that brings it down from the beginning of time all the way to the end of time.
And that rock will become a kingdom that is forever and ever with a king that
never comes to an end. And that is the kingdom we wanna become a part of. It's
much better than having stock in some big company. You wanna be joined into
this kingdom.
You wanna be
accepted into it. You don't wanna be ashamed of it because if you're ashamed,
the son of man and all the holy angels and all the holy prophets that belong to
this kingdom will reject you. Those who are ashamed, the son of God will also
be ashamed of them. So put yourself in the righteousness of God. Ask him to
purge you and purify you and make you white and clean that you will be accepted
and counted worthy to overcome and escape all these things that are gonna
happen in the end times.
Put your faith in
Jesus no matter how many people think that you're silly, no matter how many
people cast you out and mock you for what they say is your silly religion. Put
your faith in Jesus because it will be known to everyone, every king, everyone
great and small that the only ones who are wise are the Christians who put
their faith in this messiah, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the
world. This king who came in humility to give salvation to all people who would
likewise humble themselves as a servant and serve him even unto death, denying
themselves, denying the old way, and receiving the new covenant, that is the
shedding of blood. I hope this message reaches the ears of some who can hear it
and that you would put your faith in Jesus Christ. So I pray, Lord Jesus, for
my fellow brothers and sisters who wanna hear your truth.
I don't pray for
the world or the ungodly or those who don't have an ear to hear, but I pray for
those who have an ear to hear, who you have given it to them to have salvation
and be joined into the kingdom of God and their feet set upon the rock. I pray
that you would open the ears of the deaf and open the eyes of the blind, that
they would come into true faith and that they would speak in new tongues and
have dreams and visions like the prophet Joel speaks of, and that they would
overcome and be made white and clean and purged and be made new, and that they
would be ready for the wedding supper of the lamb and the return of the lord. I
pray this in your in your name, lord Jesus. Amen.
