THE WRATH OF GOD

In 1962 independent Baptist radio preacher Oliver B. Greene preached a series of 25 messages on "The Wrath of God".

Twenty-five messages on God's judgment!

My, how preaching has changed!

This is what America needs: twenty-five messages on God's wrath from every Bible-believing pulpit in the land.

Following is an excerpt from Green's first message: "I have preached love, grace, justification, and salvation, but I must not be a one-sided preacher; I must preach it all.

Consider Deuteronomy 32. 'See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

... If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me" (Deut. 32:39, 41).

Now beloved, I'm not hateful and I'm not sarcastic, but that doesn't sound like the liberal and the modernist of today.

I heard a fellow on the radio the other day saying, 'God is good.'

Yes, God is good, but let's also tell them that God is a consuming fire.

God has a real sword that he uses in judgment against those that hate him.

You say, 'I don't hate God.'

You can't serve two masters.

You are either for God or you are against him. There is no neutrality.

My friends, I love you, but I can't compromise the Word of God to keep your friendship.

I can't sell my message for your support.

I'd rather go off the radio tomorrow than to sell the gospel down the drain for fame or fortune.

In Deuteronomy 32 we have a vivid description of a God that can be angry, that can use the sword, that can use arrows drunk with blood, a God that in His own words said, 'I kill' and 'none can deliver out of my hand.'

I warn you. God is a consuming fire.

God is angry with the wicked every day, and the wages of sin is death.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.

Why don't you fall into the arms of Jesus right now?

There is no refuge from God's wrath but in Jesus Christ."

***WATCHMAN... I did not write that but I totally agree with it! I know a few are not going to believe I did not write those words penned ad preached back in 1962 by independent Baptist radio preacher Oliver B. Greene but you just go ahead and believe what you want - you will anyway no matter what I say. BUT I ECHO Brother Greene... "WE NEED MORE PREACHING LIKE THAT" - There is way too much sloppy agape being preached today - AMEN - It saved my soul in the 60's - so listen to this preacher and it just might SAVE YOUR SOUL...

The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

                  =================================================

 Rev 3:10 The Hour of Temptation  by Rev. R. Johnson, Th. D.

                         

All DOCTRINE aside, lets not quarrel but believe God and His word! To quarrel about when, is to divide and destroy Him and His love for all! To be prepared is very necessary.

In the first picture the question is not, are these men praying. The question is how and to whom do they bow. The Holy Bible says that in the last days “2 Thessalonians 2:11… for this cause God shall send them strong DELUSION, that they should believe a lie 2 Thessalonians 2:10… that they might be saved.” The second picture of a New Age gathering attended by people of prominence where their god and worship was discussed. EXODUS 20:1-5 “1.  And God spake all these words, saying,  2.  I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3.  Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4.  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5.  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God.”

One prayer I hear that was reported in the news (though possibly not at the time the first picture was taken) was and I quote: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are with me, we pray for their strength, we pray for their comfort, placing our confidence in a loving God, in all of life and all of history.”

On the surface the prayer begins with Psalm 23 but then changes and ends with “all of history.” We cannot change nor glorify “history.” History is “past” and the past is done and over with. Nowhere in scripture are we told to attend to the past in any way, quite the contrary, we are commanded to put the past behind us and go “on to what is ahead.” HEBREWS 6:1 “let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works”

Be wise when you hear the claims of those who say they believe in God, especially those in office or professed New Agers, for if these truly are the last days and it is imperative to discern the spirit of them.

The Prophet Isaiah wrote in chapter 66 and verses 3&4, “Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. 4.  I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.”

Again “2 Thessalonians 2:11… for this cause God shall send them strong DELUSION, that they should believe a lie2 Thessalonians 2:10…that they might be saved.”

DELUSION…

  1. a wandering, a straying about
    1. one led astray from the right way, roams hither and thither
  2. metaph.
    1. mental straying
      1. error, wrong opinion relative to morals or religion
    2. error which shows itself in action, a wrong mode of acting
    3. error, that which leads into error, deceit or fraud

  THE COMING (again) OF THE “SON OF MAN”

  MATTHEW 24:4-8.  “4.And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6.  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.

  MATTHEW 24:9.  “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10.  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11.  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12.  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13.  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

  MATTHEW 24: 14.  “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15.  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)”

  MATTHEW 24: 21.  “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22.  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23.  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24.  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

  MATTHEW 24: 29.  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:  30.  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  31.  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

  Here in Matthew 24:29+30 is another example of the “STRONG DELUSION” that has confused much of the Church today. So many believe Jesus will return and take them up in the rapture BEFORE the tribulation. Maybe there is another and He will, but that is NOT what MATTHEW 24: 29,30 is saying. It says, “After the tribulation of those days” that MATTHEW 24: 21 says “has NOT been since the beginning, nor will ever be again” Then MATTHEW 24:30,31 says, Jesus comes “in the clouds of heaven in great power and glory.” Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Continuing MATTHEW 24:31 says, And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Sounds like the RAPTURE that is preached today to me, how about you?

All DOCTRINE aside, lets not quarrel but believe God and His word! To quarrel about when, is to divide and destroy Him and His love for all! To be prepared is very necessary.

MATTHEW 24: 38-40  “38.  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe (Noah) entered into the ark, 39.  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

  Here lies another form of the “STRONG DELUSION” that has also confused much of the Church today. That we CANNOT KNOW! We may not know “the exact day” or “the exact hour” but we CAN KNOW that IT IS CLOSE!

1 THESSALONIANS 5:1-3 “1. But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” To whom is this referring? It cannot be the “saved ones” as they shall escape!

Yes, scripture does say “the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” But let’s not stop there, let’s read on… 1 THESSALONIANS 5:4-6 “4.  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5.  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6.  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”

The Lord Himself spoke this very clearly and distinctly to the Church at Sardis in Revelation chapter 3 and verse 3… “V2.  Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.  V3.  Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, (then”, added for clarity) I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

Now, think of this, for today it exists everywhere, in Church and without… Matthew 25:1-13  “ V1.  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. V2.  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. V3.  They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: V4.  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. V5.  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. V6.  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. V7.  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. V8.  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. V9.  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. V10.  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. V11.  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. V12.  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. V13.  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Please notice that the words “day” and “hour” do not necessarily stand for “many days” or “many hours”! WHY? Because 1 THESSALONIANS 5:4-6 clearly shows that what is taught by many simply is not so. “4.  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5.  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6.  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”

Don’t be a knot in the flow of God’s Holy Spirit and allow Him to flow as the Lord has intended. HOW? By simply knowing that whatever way it happens it will be because the Lord Him self’s will has been done! It will be done His way and fulfill His plan and no other! Let’s all just get ready to do it His way, with oil in our lamps and love in our hearts.

Why is this so important? Why have I written this? Because many will be deceived by these things enough to be unprepared, with no oil, and when the door is SHUT where will they be? Where were all those in Noah’s day when He and His family entered the ark and door was SHUT? Where will you be when the door is SHUT?

The ID Revolution in the Real and Digital Worlds  by Rev. R. Johnson, Th. D.

REVELATION 13:16-17 IN THE NEWS TODAY!

It is being reported... "At a global security conference held in Paris, an implant for humans, designed to be used as a fraud-proof payment method for cash and credit-card transactions.

It is being reported... In his speech today at the ID World 2003 conference in Paris, France, Scott R. Silverman, CEO of Applied Digital Solutions, called the chip a 'loss-proof solution' and said that the chip's 'unique under-the-skin format' could be used for a variety of identification applications in the security and financial worlds.

It is being reported... The company's various 'VeriChips' are RFID chips, which contain a unique identification number and can carry other personal data about the implantee. When radio-frequency energy passes from a scanner, it energizes the chip, which is passive (not independently powered), and which then emits a radio-frequency signal transmitting the chip's information to the reader, which in turn links with a database.

It is being reported... The chip implant is being presented as an advance over credit cards and smart cards, which, absent biometrics and appropriate safeguard technologies, are subject to theft, resulting in identity fraud. 

It is being reported... A Florida company has announced plans to develop a service that would allow consumers to pay for merchandise using microchips implanted under their skin.

Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? REVELALTION 13:16-17 "V16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: V 17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." 

Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? I do not know! But I do know that the technology truly exists as I have been reporting for a long time now. Could it be used in a way that fulfills scripture? Absolutely! It could be placed anywhere on the human body and be scanable, but what if they decided the best place would be the "right hand" or "forehead," what would you think then? "that would allow consumers to pay for merchandise using microchips implanted under their skin" 

Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? REVELALTION 13:16-17 "V16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: V 17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." 

Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? I do not know! But I do know that the tecnology is there now for a "CASHLESS SOCIETY" where we may very soon need an "IMPLANT" to buy anything! "a new syringe-injectable microchip implant for humans, designed to be used as a fraud-proof payment method for cash and credit-card transactions"

Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? REVELALTION 13:16-17 "V16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: V 17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." 

Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? I do not know! But I do know that it is "POSSIBLE," very possible... that TODAY... this scripture is being... at the very least... in part... FULFILLED!

ACTS 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." 

Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? I do not know! But I do know that many of you who have been afar off are being drawn back. You need to repent and come home to God! Are you ready? Is there oil in your lamp?

Matthew 25:1-13 "V 1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. V 2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. V 3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: V 4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. V 5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. V 6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. V 7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. V 8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. V 9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. V 10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. V 11. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. V 12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. V 13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

GET READY! Jesus is coming! Get your oil NOW, before the door closes!...therev

   This day is the "possibility" of this scripture FULFILLED!

The length of the message is approximately 45 minutes.

Feel free to use the text yourself or email us for a cassette tape or CD of the outline as preached.  

Prophetic word Sunday October 26, 2003

For indeed says the Lord I have called you out of darkness, I have poured out my spirit upon thee and have called thee to serve me says God, be filled this day with my spirit, my presence says God, for I have a burden to place upon thee says God, to go an to know who I am and all that I am says God in the presence of my people says the Lord, you shall find me and you shall know me in a way that you have not known or seen me before but as you serve me says God, I will take delight in you, I will take delight in you says God and I will indeed shall serve you as well says the Lord for you shall conquer many things that otherwise would not be conquered, so go and conquer says God and be my person that I have called you to be and I will be pleased.

Awake now my children, for even though the darkness now thinks that it can fool itself and cause the problems that it is causing, and to take hold of this whole world, I say unto you it is a lie, although darkness will think it can accomplish those things, you must stand firmer than you have stood before, for it is time for your light to shine, for as darkness begins to get darker, my light will begin to get brighter and I will empower you with a power that will go beyond anything that has ever been seen before, for this must happen in order to overcome the enemy that is causing the darkness to come upon the world, the darkness thinks that it is wise, it is not, the darkness thinks that it has hold but it does not, the darkness thinks it is winning but it will not, I say unto you that I have planned it afore, and it will not change from the way I have planned it, so stand now firmly saith the Lord, stand now firmly now my children, it is not time to be laxed, it is not time to take things for granted, it is time for you to stand fully in my word and what my word says, you can do this if you are not studying my word, you cannot do this if you are not praying over my word, so you need to do these things in these days that you might be the lighthouse that I called you to be, that though the darkness get darker, the light will get brighter and the end will come as I have planned it says the Lord.

 3.  And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

 4.  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

 5.  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

 6.  Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

 7.  Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

 8.  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

 9.  Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee

"The Time is Nigh"... by Rev. R. Johnson, Th. D.  

Luke 21:20 "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh."

This was spoken by Jesus 2,000 years ago. Then 70 years later when the Romans controlled Jerusalem the world still could STILL could not "SEE" the city "compassed with armies" nor could the Israelites "SEE" it. Now with modern technology telecommunications, satellites can immediately send an image to TV sets all over the world "the encompassing" instantly. Everyone will be able to "SEE", including those in Jerusalem themselves, will be able to literally "SEE" it happening.  Instantly seen all around the world, in every place, in every house, the countdown has begun! The end is near! Are you ready?

Jesus did not say when you read about it, nor when you hear about it, He said when you "SEE" it... and you will soon "SEE" it. God keeps His promises and the earth will be delivered from sin!

The struggle over Israel today is not political but Spiritual! Spiritually the current so called "Peace Road Map" is destined to fail though it will accomplish a foundation for Biblical Prophetical fulfillment. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will rule in the area of the Throne of David and his soon coming is not far off as we watch world events unfold. 

What does this all have to do with Christians? It has to do with the coming of the "King of Kings," our Lord Jesus Christ! That is exactly what it has to do with Christians!

There are hundreds and even thousands of denominations and doctrines out there. If your security is in those denominations or doctrines you have nothing. Jesus said "Heaven and earth will pass away but His words will never pass away." There, is your security, in His words, in His Church, in His Doctrine!

Luke 21:36>> "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man"

The “Coming” End of the World by Rev. R. Johnson, Th. D.

This message was written specifically for this www.neaiga.org website. I have not written one for a while due to an increase in demand for my time. However, I have tried to keep the pages referring to the “Last Days” or “End Times” updated daily. I believe it is with the unction of the Holy Spirit that I write this… Brother Johnson

Matthew Henry’s commentary has this to say of Matthew Chapter 24 and verses 1-3: “Christ foretells the utter ruin and destruction coming upon the temple. A believing foresight of the defacing of all worldly glory, will help to keep us from admiring it, and overvaluing it. The most beautiful body soon will be food for worms, and the most magnificent building a ruinous heap. See ye not all these things? It will do us good so to see them as to see through them, and see to the end of them.”

Matthew 24:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world”?

Jesus first answer to this question followed in verse 4 saying; “Take heed that no man deceive you.There is and has been so much deception concerning this topic of the world ending. By Jesus quick reply it certainly appears that he knew the controversy that would arise from this question.

One of the first deceptions he stressed was; Matthew 24:5 “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.Notice the double uses of the word “many.” In Bible College we were taught that we should always pay attention whenever something was repeated three times as it would most likely be “on the test.” There is a world now forming that the Bible tells us must come, where a lie will become the truth and the truth a lie. John 8:44 describes what type of person a citizen of this “new World Order” might be; “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Quite a shocker when it is looked at this way isn’t it!  Isaiah 5: 20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

MATTHEW 24:6  “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”

Matthew Henry’s commentary has this to say concerning these verses: Our Saviour cautions his disciples to stand on their guard against false teachers. And he foretells wars and great commotions among nations.”

Right up to verse nine it would be easy to get almost anyone to agree that the days spoken of are the days we are in right now as we go into the year 2003. Yes, there have been “world” wars before but they were never fought in the manner of today, or in the camaraderie. Take heed as Jesus said in Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.”

And Matthew 24:7-8 “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Are not all these things (rising against, famines, pestilences, earthquakes) present all over the world right now in one form or another? Then Jesus said something that we do not hear often, All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Nave’s Bible dictionary defines the word “sorrow” as a STATE-OF-BEING or CONCEPT and as something that God takes notice of.

Websters New World Dictionary describes the word “sorrow” as…

sor[row 7s9r$b, sCr$b8

5ME sorwe < OE sorg, akin to Ger sorge < IE base *swergh-, to worry, be ill > Sans sdrkRati, he worries about, Lith serg_, to be sick6

1   mental suffering caused by loss, disappointment, etc.; sadness, grief, or regret

2   that which produces such suffering; trouble, loss, affliction, etc.

3   the outward expression of such suffering; mourning; lamentation

4        earnest repentance; contrition !sorrow for sin"

SOME WORDS WITH THE SAME MEANING: sadness, anguish, pain, grief, catastrophe, misfortune, affliction, difficulty, trouble, weeping, grieving, lamenting, mourning, bemoan, wail, lamenting, dejection, depression, distress, gloom, hardship, heartache, repentance, unhappiness, unrest, woe, etc., etc.

V8 “All these things are the BEGINNING of sorrows” and V12 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” It is not hard to see that “sorrows” are beginning or that love not only in the Church but also throughout the world, that has grown cold! God had something against the Church at Ephesus even though they labored in works, had patience, hated evil, had not fainted, and found out the liars among them including those that were false apostles.

Matthew Henry’s commentary has this to say concerning these verses: “Our Saviour cautions his disciples to stand on their guard against false teachers.”

They can do good, sound good and look good but the true test is do they “LOVE GoOD.” (small “o” intended!) Do they put good first or GoOD FIRST? I believe the Bible teaches the true Church was born or began at Pentecost and will end at the second coming of Christ. The Bible/the Word of God is either infallible as many teach or it is not. I believe it to be so (infallible) and that the Full Gospel, Born Again, Salvation thru the shed blood of Christ at Calvary must be preached, leaving no scripture out. The forbidding to speak in tongues by some of the Church today comes to my mind when the scripture says in 1CORINTHIANS “ 39.  Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.” There is a large section of the Church today that forbids their membership from speaking in tongues that is totally contrary to this verse for whatever reason. This same section, including some in Pentecost will not allow the prophetic word to flow when scripture says in this same verse in 1 Corinthians “39.  Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy.” (I find it interesting that Matthew Henry’s Commentary skips over this very important verse on this subject!) The word “covet” means to desire, wish for or crave… to want ardently (especially something that another person has); and to long for with envy. My friend, desire and long for these precious gifts from God as they have not ceased with the last apostle. Yes, they are only a part of the total scriptures but reason this… 1 CORINTHIANS 13:9&10 “9.  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10.  But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. The Lord is coming again soon and at that time everything “which is in part shall be done away,” but until that time everything, including “which is in part” is valid and usable today! ROMANS 11:29 “ For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”

 

One sure way for the Church today to end up in the position of the church at Ephesus is to forget the “gifts and calling of God,” for He said in Revelation 2:4 “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.” Jesus said this about “first love,” MATTHEW 22:37,38 “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.” Loving God and therefore His word should therefore be “first” and foremost in the Christian life. There is no command to pick and choose only the verses we like and agree with. The words “left thy first love” easily reveal a “growing cold” in heart. REVELATION 3:15,16 “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” It is without a doubt not a “GoOD” thing to grow cold in the eyes of God. 

 

Continued 12/23/02... God said it, I did not. To be “hot” is to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” To be on fire to do the work of his ministry that all Christians are called to do, “SAVE SOULS”! To be “cold,” though certainly not a good thing salvation speaking, is apparently more workable (teachable?) than cooling off from once being hot or moving from cold to lukewarm and never going on to become hot. In the natural drinking a glass of plain cold water or a glass of hot water with something added to flavor it is palatable. But take that same plain glass of cold water and leave it set out for a while to warm some and it is nauseating! That is something like what God is saying in Rev 3:15,16. Once someone has been  “hot” for God and then “cooled” off  or moving from cold to lukewarm and refuse to grow hot, he or she can be very hard to reach with the truth that leads to repentance.

 

     MATTHEW24:12 “And because iniquity shall abound,” The word  iniquity” simply means “lawlessness.” WEBSTER'S: without law; not regulated by the authority of law…  Synonym. anarchy, irresponsibility, terrorism, chaos; With this definition in mind we can easily look upon the world’s actions today and say iniquity” is not only here, it is “abounding”!

 

…to be continued as time permits  

 

I have not forgotten but I await on the Lord to continue this one 7/22/03

PENTECOSTAL DANCING & being slain in the Spirit

Monday, July 29, 2002... Could you tell me some scriptures in the Bible that would back up Pentecostal dancing and being slain in the spirtit? Thankyou, a believer

Thank you for confidence in asking, I pray that you truly want to believe in these things that you have asked about. But first, can I answer your questions as Jesus did many times with another question...
 
Do you believe that dancing before the Lord is acceptable? (King David did!)
 
Do believe that someone could fall in the presence of the power and anointing of God? (Jesus did!)
 
There are many verses in the Bible that back up dancing, but the one I like the best is... 2 Samuel 6:14 KJV And David danced before the LORD with all his might;
 
danced  [[3769. karar, kaw-rar'; a prim. root; to dance (i.e. whirl):--dance (-ing)]].
 
before 6440. paniym, paw-neem'; plur. (but always as sing.) of an unused noun [ paneh, paw-neh'; from H6437]; the face (as the part that turns);
 
might; [[5797. 'oz, oze; or (fully)  'owz, oze; from H5810; strength in various applications (force, security, majesty, praise):--boldness, loud, might, power, strength, strong.]]
 
 Here also is the one I like for "slain in the Spirit" (please note the capitol S)... John 18:6 KJV As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
 
went  565. aperchomai, ap-erkh'-om-ahee; from G575 and G2064; to go off (i.e. depart), aside (i.e. apart) or behind (i.e. follow), lit. or fig.:--come, depart, go (aside, away, back, out, . . . ways), pass away, be past.\
 
backward 1519. eis, ice; a prim. prep.; to or into (indicating the point reached or entered), of place, time, or (fig.) purpose (result, etc.); also in adv. phrases:--[abundant-] ly, against, among, as, at, [back-] ward, before, by, concerning, + continual, + far more exceeding, for [intent, purpose], fore, + forth, in (among, at unto, -so much that, -to), to the intent that, + of one mind, + never, of, (up-) on, + perish, + set at one again, (so) that, therefore (-unto), throughout, till, to (be, the end, -ward), (here-) until (-to), . . . ward, [where-] fore, with. Often used in composition with the same general import, but only with verbs (etc.) expressing motion (lit. or fig.).
 
crf: I John 20:21 KJV Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
 
breathed 1720. emphusao, em-foo-sah'-o; from G1722 and  phusao (to puff) [comp. G5453]; to blow at or on:--breathe on.

Receive Sincerely in 2983. lambano, lam-ban'-o; a prol. form of a prim. verb, which is used only as an alt. in certain tenses; to take (in very many applications, lit. and fig. [prop. obj. or act., to get hold of; whereas G1209 is rather subj. or pass., to have offered to one; while G138 is more violent, to seize or remove]):--accept, + be amazed, assay, attain, bring, X when I call, catch, come on (X unto), + forget, have, hold, obtain, receive (X after), take (away, up).Christ,

crf: 2 Chronicles 5:13 KJV It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

KJV stands for the King James Version, not the new kjv but the Original version authorized by King James himself. It has remained unchanged over the years and it is the closest we have in a language we can understand to the Original Hebrew manuscripts. If you do not believe how much these new (age?) translations have changed the original text check out the link on our website that compares the KJV with others.

A possibly very long answer to a very short question but if you will pray and be open to the wisdom of the Holy Ghost (Spirit) you will have your positive answer and be blessed!...therev

 

 

                                                --------------------------------------------------------

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT... John 3:1. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

SAVED WRONG? Jesus said to Nicodemus "you are a leader in Israel and you do not know this? Many like Nicodemus today go to Church "religiously" and also do not know the answer to going to heaven or "seeing the kingdom of God." They think that going to Church saves them. Some think a religious ritual saves them. Others think that confessing their sin to a man saves them. Some preachers even preach that being a "good person" is good enough to save them. What has happened to them is NOT the good old "BORN AGAIN" experience that Jesus, not I, said is needed!!

Matthew 13:24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

 

                                                --------------------------------------------------------

“A DEEPER FAITH” Not some form of “super spirituality” or something available to an “elite” few but something available to every Christian who will “walk a faith walk” and/or “live a faith life.” 2 Corinthians 5:7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

1 Corinthians 2:10.  But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Revelation 2:24.  But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other burden.

An older version of the KJV uses “depths” but the same implied meaning is clear. (bathos, bath'-os; by impl.) extent; (fig.) mystery:--deep (-ness, things), depth.)

“as many as have not this teaching,” speaking of those who HAVE received the teaching influence of a Jezebel spirit that takes position incorrectly, in this case the office of prophetess, in order to bring confusion via teaching and seduction!

1 Corinthians 2:1.  And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

testimony” marturion, mar-too'-ree-on; something evidential, i.e. (gen.) evidence given or (spec.) the Decalogue (in the sacred Tabernacle):

“excellency” uperoche, hoop-er-okh-ay'; prominence, i.e. (fig.) superiority (in rank or character):-- authority, excellency.

speech” logos, log'-os; something said (including the thought); by impl. a topic (subject of discourse), also reasoning (the mental faculty) or motive;

wisdom” sophia, sof-ee'-ah; wisdom (higher or lower, worldly or spiritual):--wisdom. (wise, thoughtful, i.e. discreet, implying a cautious character; in a bad sense conceited)

1 Corinthians 2:2. For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. [to extinguish or subdue selfishness]

1 Corinthians 2:3. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

1 Corinthians 2:4.  And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, (sophia, sof-ee'-ah; wisdom higher or lower, worldly) but in demonstration (manifestation) of the Spirit (Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:--ghost, life) and of power: (dunamis, doo'-nam-is; force (lit. or fig.); spec. miraculous power (usually by impl. a miracle itself)

1 Corinthians 2:5.  that your faith (pistis, pis'-tis; reliance upon Christ for salvation; the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself:) should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 2:6.  We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown (perfect or complete in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character,): yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought: (to be (or render) entirely idle or useless)

1 Corinthians 2:7.  but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, (a secret through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites) even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:

1 Corinthians 2:8.  which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: ((lit. or fig., obj. or subj.):--dignity, glory (-ious), honour, praise, worship.))

1 Corinthians 2:9.  but as it is written, Things which eye (by impl. vision; fig. envy from the jealous side-glance) saw not, and ear heard not, And which entered not into the heart ((the thoughts or feelings (mind)) of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.

1 Corinthians 2:10.  But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (See opening statements for this verse)

1 Corinthians 2:11.  For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man (fig. a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by impl.) vital principle, mental disposition, etc.), which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 2:12.  But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God. (5483. charizomai, khar-id'-zom- ahee; mid. from G5485; to grant as a favor, i.e. gratuitously, in kindness, pardon or rescue:--deliver, (frankly) forgive, (freely) give, grant.)

1 Corinthians 2:13.  Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining (or comparing) spiritual things with spiritual words. ((sugkrino, soong-kree'-no; to judge of one thing in connection with another, i.e. combine (spiritual ideas with appropriate expressions) or collate (one person with another by way of contrast or resemblance):--compare among (with).))

1 Corinthians 2:14.  Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. (or discerned) (anakrino, an-ak-ree'-no; to scrutinize, i.e. (by impl.) investigate, interrogate, determine:--ask, question, discern, examine, judge, search.)

1 Corinthians 2:15.But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.   (pneumatikos, pnyoo-mat-ik-os'; non-carnal, i.e. (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross), or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concr.), or (divinely)

1 Corinthians 2:16.For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.   (nous, nooce; the intellect, i.e. mind (divine or human; in thought, feeling, or will); by impl. meaning:--mind, understanding.)

Hot or Cold

Revelation 3:14. "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; these things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."

Webster's Dictionary: LUKEWARM, moderate warmth... with indifference... (in) want or zeal

Brother Johnson: LUKEWARM, a mixture of Hot & Cold causing a cooling off

Are you one that has been Hot and are cooling off or are you one how has never been more than  moderately warm in Spiritual things? Either way you are Lukewarm! Webster states that there are Lukewarm patriots and Lukewarm obedience. Though most Christians would not be a patriot in the sense of the word they should be as dedicated as one especially in the area of obedience to God's word. This will preach in so many ways and I have done so but this is the Holy Spirits tract for this particular message. 

REVELATION 3:2. "Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God."

Those things especially that are ready to die, if they are of the Lord, need to be strengthened! 

REVELATION 22:19. "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." 

When we are born in the flesh, we are born cold, or in sin! But when we are born again, we move out of the cold and it's inherited sin. We are either Hot for Jesus or we become Lukewarm in religion under the law instead of Grace. Now this may shock you but it is easier to be Lukewarm in religion than to be Hot in Jesus. It is much easier to do things by the numbers and let religion be the relationship and responsibility than to be Hot for Jesus and have that relationship responsibility be close and personal with Jesus. 

REVELATION 3:2. "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." 

When we are alive in Christ we should bear the fruits of His Spirit! Not "taking away from the words of the book of this prophecy" that we become the leaves "out of the book of life" that are intended "for the healing of the nations." Without the "Life" of the Gospel living in us we either will never progress from Lukewarm to Hot or when we are young Hot Christians to remain that way. If you get nothing else out of this message, remember this..."That when you mix Hot water with Cold water it can not longer stay Hot but it must become cooler or "LUKEWARM"!

Jesus was very wise when he said in , MARK 16:15. "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

Now I could have left off verses 17 & 18 that many will say are controversial but if that is so then "JESUS" was controversial as these words are supposed to be His for they are in RED, at least in my KJV Bible. So many of the NEW translations are changing God's word so much to be non-controversial and the NEW TNIV  that "claims to be gender neutral" and to know that this change was what the original text "MEANT" to say. May God have mercy on their souls!!! (check this link for a comparison of the NIV to the KJV). 

REVELATION 22: 19. " And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." 

REVELATION 3:2. " Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God."

We should not stop believing in what Jesus said in Mark 16:17,18 and many other verses that talk about tongues, prophecy, and other gifts of the Spirit just because SOME take these things out of Biblical context in the sense of Hot and/or Cold because this mixes out to Lukewarm. That is the taste today that just might cause God to vomit! 

I CORINTHIANS 14:1. "Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 2. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 5. I would that ye all spake with tongues; but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying... and verse 39... Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

The Apostle Paul is not commanding here that all prophesy or that all speak in tongues but here it is in the word of God! He is saying LOVE is important and desiring spiritual gifts is important but he would rather that Prophecy would come for in both Love and Desire! Yes, without an interpreter the Prophet who speaks Prophetically in "Tongues"... I CORINTHIANS 14:5. "I would that ye all spake with tongues; but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying." Tongues according to Paul are ok but Prophecy (without tongues?) is better than tongues without interpretation!... "except he interpret"... who is "he" but the Prophet who Prophesied in a Tongue! Soooo, if you feel a Prophetic Tongue, be ready to interpret if no one else does so

Maybe you just can't agree but there is this scripture if you do not... I CORINTHIANS 14:38. "But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39. Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid and forbid not to speak with tongues.

Revelation 3:14. " And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; these things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Is this a description of the WORLD CHURCH that exists today???... 

REVELATION 3:17. "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:" 

If you see that IT IS then please do not have any part of such things...

II CORINTHIANS 6:14. "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

"The Communist Party's policy with respect to its traditional hostility towards religion itself, has trained Red agents since the 1920's to infiltrate both the CLERGY and the LAITY to subvert the basis of faith in a Divine Creator and re-direct church and church-allied activities into purely SOCIAL channels of a nature less hostile to Communist goals. This infiltration resulted in the operational capture of the Federal Council of Churches during the 1930's and the National Council of Churches, which had its hand in the Supreme court's decision concerning prayer and legalizing abortion.

Harry Potter in the pews

I recently presented a message that I called “Harry Potter in the pews.” Harry Potter is a today, in your face, satanic attempt to convert the world to witchcraft! It is without a doubt a manual for teaching anyone who reads it, especially children, how to use satanic powers. I was told a true story by a father who’s daughter went to Church with Grandma and proceeded to get out and read a copy of HP right there in the pew during service. Needless to say Grandma confronted her son about it and he told her he would not allow his daughter to bring it again. I confronted this dad and said to him, if you understand it is not right to read HP in Church, WHY IS IT OK IN YOUR HOME? This dad THINKS he is a Christian, seldom attends Church, seldom reads the Bible and is a “sipping saint”?!

The world today lives in a “Carl Rogers Psychology” taught years ago that allowed anything, as long as it did no one other than the specific individual any harm. It was called in slang “if it feels good do it”! This “strong delusion” (2 Thess 2:11 “that they would believe a lie KJV) is a LIE because such things extend beyond the individual. They attach themselves to others much like a blood-sucking parasite attaches itself to a “host.” Is it not the “shed blood of Christ” that is the life’s blood of the Church? Now, I know that the Lord is most powerful but it must also be realized that He is not “a controller.” He has given us a free will and that is what makes Him the awesome God that He is! All other gods are intended to convert the followers into bondage but not so the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, JESUS! Thus, the enemy uses our freewill as a back door in his attempt to suck out the lifeblood of individuals and the Church!

The church today is controlled. It is not JESUS! However, though He is a jealous God He will allow His own the freedom of choice. That is why I serve Jesus! If our serving depended on anything other than the “freedom to serve,” it simply would be no different that what “other gods” do.  If the wrong choice is made to follow after “other gods” then the first commandment is broken: Exodus 20:3The difference is that in Jesus we are given the freedom to make that choice, and the important thing is that the right choice is made! It is time to stand up against the false teachings (and miracles, but that is another message at another time!) and their wide acceptance, even in the church. Malachi 3:5  And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. 6  For I am the LORD, I change not; There will be a “Time of Sorrows” Jesus taught: Matthew 24:8I sincerely believe we have been in the “laodicean” church age, but we are fast leaning more and more toward the “cold” side. Like the church at Ephesus, there is a “love leak”! Why? Because the “Nicolaitanes” once more (or finally depending on your point of view) are gaining a foothold. This is not good, as God is an unchanging God and He still hates their deeds (Rev 2:6)! The works of Balaam and Balac continue to creep back in and He will deal with this error… Rev 2:5,17,22,23, Rev 3:3,9,16,19 

This is an exciting time to live in for I truly believe Jesus must come soon. Yes, I understand that certain things must be in place, or happen, before that. BUT, the end time’s events are moving so swiftly now, and even that is a fulfillment of scripture. Let’s not be caught knapping! We need to have sufficient oil to fill our lamps and be ready to enter in!

The Church that is NOT FOUND WATCHING will be the one that will not be able to see His soon coming in advance (Rev 3:1). If we are FOUND WATCHING we will not be kept in the dark: I Thess 5:4To those who are “overcomers,” He… “will not blot out his name out of the book of life” Rev 3:5!… SO LET’S BE AN OVERCOMER!

"The Communist Party's policy with respect to its traditional hostility towards religion itself, has trained Red agents since the 1920's to infiltrate both the CLERGY and the LAITY to subvert the basis of faith in a Divine Creator and re-direct church and church-allied activities into purely SOCIAL channels of a nature less hostile to Communist goals. This infiltration resulted in the operational capture of the Federal Council of Churches during the 1930's and the National Council of Churches, which had its hand in the Supreme court's decision concerning prayer and legalizing abortion." Sometimes I think we have gone beyond the point of no return. But, then I remember that God has all power and there is nothing impossible with God. If we do not wake up, The National Council of Churches, working with the Supreme Court and Federal Government, will form a series of "guidelines" which will be laid down by several agencies of the Federal Government, and passed by the Supreme Court, will be enforced by law, to include all churches, denominations, sects and individual clergymen and evangelists - to either come under the jurisdiction of the National Council of Churches , OR not be recognized as having the right to function in the field of religion. AND! For all seeking to operate outside the Council or the guidelines of the government, will in the earlier stages of the plan, be subject to crippling economic economic disabilities, and later be included under statutory and prosecutable offenses. True Religion will be outlawed.... check the rest this message "AMERICA AND GOD," this brief insert represents found on our "Dr. Rayl's Page" by our AIGA founder and late president.

AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK 

OF THE COMING OF THE JUST ONE 

Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.

CONFIDENCE: 3954. parrhesia, par-rhay-see'-ah; from G3956 and a der. of G4483; all out-spokenness, i.e. frankness, bluntness, publicity; by impl. assurance:--bold (X -ly, -ness, -ness of speech), confidence, X freely, X openly, X plainly (-ness).

RECOMPENSE: 3405. misthapodosia, mis-thap-od-os-ee'ah; from G3406; requital (good or bad)… good or bad!

Crf:  Matthew 5:11  Blessed are ye, when men shall REVILE you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you FALSELY, for my sake.

“so persecuted they the PROPHETS!” (before you)

REVILE: to defame, rail at, chide, taunt

FALSELY: literally LIE!

Crf: Acts 7:52  Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

Hebrews 10:36  For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

After ye have done the will of God

a)      be patient

b)      the promise will come

Hebrews 10:37  For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

TARRY: delay… 5549. chronizo, khron-id'-zo; from G5550; to take time, i.e. linger:--delay, tarry

Crf: Luke18:1-8  1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2  Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3  And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4  And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6  And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Key Verse #8: when the Son cometh – will He find FAITH????

Hebrews 10:38  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man DRAW back, my SOUL shall have no pleasure in him.

DRAW: 5288. hupostello, hoop-os-tel'-lo; from G5259 and G4724; to withhold under (out of sight), i.e. (reflex.) to cower or shrink, (fig.) to conceal (reserve):--draw (keep) back, shun, withdraw.

SOUL: 5590. psuche, psoo-khay'; from G5594; breath, i.e. (by impl.) spirit, abstr. or concr. (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from G4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from G2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Heb. H5315, H7307 and H2416):--heart (+ -ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.

Hebrews 10:39  But we are not of them who draw back unto PERDITION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

PERDITION: 684. apoleia, ap-o'-li-a; from a presumed der. of G622; ruin or loss (phys., spiritual or eternal):--damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.

Do not draw back into destruction but proceed (overcome, endure), to the saving of the soul(s)!

Matthew 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

LOST LOVE...Rev 2 Is the Church today a reflection of the Church of Ephesus?

The world we live in has changed forever...WHY?

Rev 2:1  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

It is now as it was then, time to "humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift us up." The Spirit of the Lord then and now walks among the nations of this world holding all creation in His right hand. The King is not just coming, He is also here by His Spirit! Love is a very important factor if were are to stand in Faith and not fear. Fear you should already know is the opposite of Faith. God is in control as He knows all about us and yes, even those plans that the enemy might have! It is a great time to be alive as we see the Bible coming to life before our very eyes. It is also a great time to be serving Him with all the love that is within us. There is NO NEED TO BE AFRAID when you LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART! Today we see so called churches that no longer have "the first love" that demonstrates the power of God. When the first love is lost the power is lost with it! It is taught that such things died with the last apostle, or that healing is not for today, or that prophecy is not for today, or that Jesus was just a prophet, or miracles do not happen today...NOT FOR TODAY? MY FRIEND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT TODAY NEEDS!... or the most recent being purported  in the news that all religions are acceptable, immorality accepted, etc., etc.  Do we think that the Lord does not see all this erroneous doctrine? How can anyone who knows the "true word" not understand that such things are sin in the sight of a Holy God. Maybe some will say that this is not love but it is! To reveal sin in a way that leads to repentance IS LOVE of a very special kind! The Bible says that in the last days wrong will become right and right will become wrong. Rev 2 was written to not only encourage but to WARN the Churches of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos and Thyatira. Is it not a valid WARNING today? "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, Rev 2:4 and "I know the blasphemy of those...which say they are...and are not," Rev 2:9 and  But I have a few things against thee," Rev 2: 14 and "Not withstanding I have a few things against thee" Rev 2:20

2  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:3  And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

The Lord commends here the good things that has been done and accomplished in the past. He is walking among the "candlesticks" or "Churches" and He knows the things that are right and the things that are wrong. Is it simply enough that the false were understood to be liars? That we have been patient? That we have stood strong? The more we love Jesus the firmer we stand. Though is just standing enough? Is just knowing the lies enough or should they be revealed as sin in the knowledge that repentance will heal such sin... Isaiah 5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

4  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

In order for repentance to come, sin must be revealed. Now we can understand why God is upset with us. It is not so much that the first love was totally lost or that it was forsaken, but that the "zeal" or "fervency" of that love was missing. Complacency is a deceiver that makes us think we are ok when we are not! They had not retained their level of love nor had they gone on increasingly in an effort to improve their love. They had become indifferent and love had grown cold. The church today has also lost it's zeal and is indifferently allowing things that it would not have allowed before. 

5  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

It is time to return to the first works or else we may quickly loose all that we first had! The sins spoken about in the Holy Scripture are still sin but instead of revealing it as the Lord has done here it is allowed to exist along with righteousness. Instead there should be a rebuke of carelessness and indifference from both within the Church and without. The candlestick represents the removal of a Church that continues in indifference to sin, error and lies. Of Christians and Churches who backslide from their first love and carelessly misuse the scriptures intent of repentance. There is no excuse for indifference when it comes to revealing sin as this in itself is considered sinful by the Lord. The Church today must repent of carelessly excusing indifference  and get on her knees humbly before a Holy God. Not a god or any god but the God, the I Am, the Everlasting Father in Heaven through the shed blood of His Son Jesus Christ. He arose! He is not there! But all the other so called religions accepted today cannot claim this awesome fact. All the little "g" gods can still be found right where they were buried! It is shameful that today we see innocents killed in the name of some god, by someone committing suicide in the name of God. We need to get back to obeying the Holy scriptures of our first love and watch that we do not fall back into indifference again. If we misuse God's Grace and displease His Spirit we will experience His displeasure.  We can no longer accept sin in error without experiencing the consequences. It is a battle where good verses evil and for no other reason. The Christian Church is about the battle against Satan, sin, worldliness, and of course the flesh. At the least the Church has become "lukewarm" and it's candlestick is about to be removed. IT IS TIME TO REPENT! To remember where we were before we grew cold and fell or backslid. To get back to being sold out to Jesus!

6  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

Now is the time to change, get our zeal back and go forward. It is the time to hate what God hates and not to accept everything "new under the sun" because there really is nothing new just Satan's old tricks in different wrappers! The King James Bible is the closest thing we have to the true word of God. Have you ever been in a circle of people and one said something to the next and each passed what was heard on? By the time it got back to the first person often it resembled little of what that first person said.

7  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

The King of Kings is coming, love him more and more, we have the power to do it! There is power in the name of Jesus! The narrow way is better than the wide way but few find it. Be one of the few! Open your eyes and your heart and seek hard the narrow way. The faint will not be found there. The worldly will not be found there. The fleshly will not be found there but only the "pure in heart"! It is an awesome time we live in! Let the JOY of the Lord be your strength. Pray and seek His face for deliverance. The word of God does not promise freedom fro conflict here but it does promise eternal peace in Heaven. By the way, that is where the narrow way leads those who follow their first love! Be an Overcomer! AMEN!

The worldly will not be found there...

Romans 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23  And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. 24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: 25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. 28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31  Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 2:1  Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man,

only the "pure in heart" will be found there...AMEN!

Philippians 3:14  I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15  Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

THE RIVER…THE GREAT RIVER…THE RIVER EUPHRATES               this will preach!…therev

Genesis 2:9  And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10  And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11  The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12  And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13  And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. .”

THE RIVER…THE GREAT RIVER…THE RIVER EUPHRATES…that watered and nourished the earth. It is very interesting that this is the area that is the focus of the attention of the world today since the unprecedented attack 1n New York city on September 11, 2001. It is also interesting to compare v10 with Revelation 9:14, the sixth trumpet, “Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in (at) the great river Euphrates.”

This is the same area that God gave in covenant promise to Abram… Gen 15:18 “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates”

An area of many former confrontations and battles…2 Kings 23:29  In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.”

Megiddo: Megiddo, called [Magdolon,] Magdolum, by Herodotus, was situated in the tribe of Manasseh, west of Jordan, in the valley of Jezreel, and not far fron Hadad-Rimmon, or Maximianopolis.  This shews that Josiah reigned over the country formerly possessed by the ten tribes; and it is also probable, that Nechoh had landed his troops at or near Cesarea of Palestine. 2Ki 9:27 Jos 17:11 Jud 1:27 5:19 1Ki 4:12 Zec 12:11, Megiddon, Rev 16:16, Armageddon

Is it not also interesting that the king of today has moved into this area with force seeking to do what? Just eliminate one bad guy or certain bad guys? Or could the purpose be even to occupy? The area is not far from Israel that has not yet been “surrounded” by armies but…?… I Chronicles 18:3  “And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.”

Jerimiah 13:6  “And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.   7  Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing. 8  Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9  Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10  This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.”

Are we building even now to… Jeremiah 46:10  “For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.” 

Jeremiah 51:63  “And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: 64  And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon(check Rev  18, as you read be thinking "Spiritual Babylon" ) and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.”

Revelation 9:14  “Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16  And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18  By these three was

Revelation 16:12  “And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.”

Certainly, these scriptures are progressive! Is it not as it was intended to be written by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords?

Philippians 2:10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Philippians 3:18  “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19  Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

TOWER IN SILOAM FELL ON 18 PEOPLE.......LUKE 13:1-5

"1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." 

Though the following commentary was written long ago, the amazement is they still hold truth for us today! It is typed exactly as written there! I am sure if you study if you will make sense out of the "old English." I wonder IF WE ARE THE ONES in our MODERN ENGLISH that have LOST some of the TRUE MEANING of SCRIPTURE that they had or understood! ...therev...MATTHEW HENRY COMMENTARY, October 2nd 1706... Why it it related at this season to our Lord Jesus. (1.) Perhaps merely as a matter of news, which they supposed he had not heard before, and as a thing which they lamented and believed he would do so too; for the Galileans were their countrymen. NOTE, Sad providences ought to be observed by us and the knowledge of them communicated to others, that they may be suitably affected with them and make good use of them. (2.) Perhaps it was intended as a confirmation of what Christ had said in the close of the foregoing chapter, concerning the necessity of making our peace with God in time, before we be delivered to the officer, that is, to death, and so cast into prison, and then it will be too late to make agreements. "Now, say they, "Master, here is a fresh instance of some that were suddenly delivered to the officer, that were taken away by death when they little expected it; and therefore we have all need to be ready." Note, It will be of good use to us both to explain the word of God and to enforce it upon ourselves by observing the providences of God. 

II. Christ's reply to this report, in which, (1.) He seconded it with another story, which, like it, gave a instance of people's being taken away by sudden death. It is not long since the tower of Siloam fell and there were 18 persons killed and buried in the ruins of it. Dr. Lightfoot's conjecture is that this tower adjoined the pool of Siloam, which was the same pool of Bethesda, and that it belonged to those porches which were by the pool, in which the impotent folks lay, that waited for the stirring of the water (John 5:3), and that they who were killed were some of them, or some of those whoin this pool used to purify themselves for the temple-service, for it was near the temple. Whoever they were, it is a sad story; yet such melancholy accidents we often hear of; For as man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net (translation: cruel) for as the birds are caught in a snare, so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them. (Eccl 9:12). Towers that were built for safety, often prove men's destruction. "for, with what measure of that kind we mete, it shall be measured to us again." - "Now, suppose ye that those eighteen who met their death from the tower of Siloam, while perhaps they were expecting their cure from the pool of Siloam, were debtors to divine justice above all men that dwell in Jerusalem. I tell you nay." Whether it make for us, or against us, we must abide by this rule, that we cannot judge of men's sins by their sufferings in this world; for many are thrown into the furnace as gold to be purified, not as dross and chaff to be consumed....If we will be judging, we have enough to do to judge ourselves... On these stories he (Jesus) founded a call to repentance, adding to each of them this awakening word, Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish, (verses 3-5) ...That therefore we are all concerned to repent, to be sorry for what we have done amiss, and to do no more. The judgments of God upon others are loud calls to us to repent...that repentance is the way to escape perishing, and it is a sure way; so iniquity shall not be your ruin...That, if we repent not, we shall certainly perish, as others have done before us...and many of them, both in Jerusalem and in other places, were destroyed by the fall of walls and buildings which were battered down about their ears, as those that died by the fall of the tower of Siloam. But certainly it looks further; except we repent, we shall perish eternally, as they perished out of this world. The same Jesus that calls us to repent because the kingdom of heaven is at hand, bids us repent because otherwise we shall perish; so that he has set before us life and death, good and evil, and put us to our choice (see choice link "CLICK HERE" on our Front Page) The perishing of those in their impenitency who have been most harsh and severe in judging others will in a particular manner be aggravated.
