Hi My Dear Ones!
I am trying to get back to sharing and posting on Google Plus and my blogs but some good (and bad) things have gotten in the way. Life! We're not to be overly concerned with the cares of THIS world and set our sights on our HEAVENLY lives but we are also told to WATCH. We also live in this world and we are...
The SALT of the earth! Salt tastes good and seasons well but we tend to forget that salt is also very abrasive, hurts when it gets in a cut but it is also very healing. Jesus Christ never called us the SUGAR of the world, did He? You can't be truly effective in our job, which is to lead others to Christ Jesus if we leave off the salt.
Oh, I am so guilty of this. I do great at sharing God's love, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, all the GOOD things people "like" to hear but am a dismal failure at one, if not THE, most important aspect of sharing the true Gospel of Salvation and that's SIN. How can one be convicted by the Holy Spirit if we don't tell them that without forgiveness, we are and will never be more than wretched, naked, shameful and utter and complete failures no matter what we do, no matter how many good deeds/works we do, how much money we give to the needy or if we devote our entire lives to working for the Lord? We ALL sin. We ALL fall short. The wages of SIN is death but we can have life everlasting IF we trust and believe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh (John 1:1) died, was buried and rose again to be the bridge between separation and reconciliation from man(kind) and God. There is no other name under the sun by which anyone can be saved. I am a sinner and so are you. To say you have no sin is to be a liar. The only perfect and sin-free Man/God that walked on this earth can still walk on water!
We are also to be watchmen. Know the signs of the times, the seasons and be absolutely grounded in the Holy Bible. NEVER allow yourselves to be deceived by false doctrines, false Jesus' and the doctrines of demons. Be always prepared to give good and righteous answers for your faith. Believe it or not, all you need is the Bible and not another book. No denominational or organizational publications are needed and, in fact, so badly twist the scriptures and actually add to, leave off or twist them to fit their doctrine. Let this be a lesson to you please. Make sure your doctrine or tenets of your faith line up with scripture. If they don't and you need a man-written book to make it fit, YOU ARE IN A CULT, no matter how "harmless" it may seem.
The Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, do not believe that Jesus Christ is God. They believe He was created (goes directly against John 1:1 as well as MANY others; that He is the Archangel Michael (Jude 1:9 clears this up nicely in 2 ways - contact me if you need help discerning just how as it's a wee bit tricky and easy to miss because I did until 3 different men of God told me the same thing. I always make sure 2-3 agree on scripture before accepting it as fact (or close enough to it so as not to be deceived. They also believe that God is through with the Jews, only a small number of people will go to Heaven and that the others will live in a substandard type of Heaven on earth.
Be watchful of any church, regardless of the name (be it Baptist, Pentacostal, SDA, Presbyterian, etc.) where the pastor/group leader restricts you. By that I mean if they dictate any of the following, you are probably in a cult or cult-like church....
They tell you...
What you can wear
What you can or cannot do with your own body not upheld by scripture
Associate with anyone, even family, outside that "church" or denomination
Calls themselves "non-denominational"
Forbids you to wear jewelry, cut your hair, women wearing pants, etc.
Shuns you as punishment and puts you out if you go outside the organization and in order to return, no one is allowed to associate with you in the group for any length of time
which is usually 6 to 12 months until you prove yourself "worthy"
The pastor/group leader's needs always come first
Your personal needs do not matter, only the group/group leaders
Mandatory tithing
Refusal to accept tithes (well, offerings)
Your righteousness depends on the "standards of righteousness" set by pastor/group
Claims to be a "remnant" church and the ONLY church you can attend to be with the Lord
Anti-semitic
Separates men and women, even married couples
Women are treated as subservient to men
Forbidden to celebrate ANY holidays from Christmas to National to personal days like
birthdays, anniversaries, etc. or Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, New Year's Eve
The only Bible you are allowed to study is the one they authorize
Their Bible studies are from man-written publications and only authorized verses are to be
taken into account
You are not encouraged to ask questions
Active participation is not allowed in Bible studies and MUST be answered by their
outside literature
You are forbidden to study the Bible, esp other versions, without using their books at the
same time
LAST BUT NOT LEAST...the rewrite the Bible!
We are to be good Bereans. Search the scriptures each time you are told something to see if it is true. That's what a group of early Christians...called "the Bereans"...did whenever someone told them something that was new to them. Be a GREAT Berean. The New Testament, the Covenant of Grace, is exactly what it says, NEW. It doesn't mean it's the BETTER Testament. You will never fully understand the NT until you learn the OT and what it really is all about. If you think you can take Judaism out of Christianity, you will stay confused and unlearned. The Old is just as relevant today, if not more so, than ever before. Go to Bible.org, type in "4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse" and there's 3-4 different sites you can choose from but it gives you OT info that brings Revelation into such clarity it will blow your mind. If you enjoy, as I do, seeing just how amazing and TRUE the Holy Bible HAS TO BE, do not let yourself miss out on this. It is THE most amazing...so much fun you start thinking that anything this much fun MUST be a sin...and joyous/delightful/awesome journey you will ever take. Don't allow yourself to miss this. You don't have to look far and maybe just learning one thing will be enough for you but it won't be. When you see how a book written 3,000 years before another and they say the exact same thing long before/after each other and before the Canon was put together so there wasn't a Bible like today with concordances, dictionaries, commentaries, and parallel verses HARMONIZE PERFECTLY, it will stun you that people just don't "get it."
Last, this is very political. What a horrible year it was and for me, I thank God and trust Him completely, that Trump winning was Him being God Almighty as His will WILL be done. Do we get to choose if we fall or be a beacon of His Light and Love to the world. As for me, I choose God Yahwey. I am going to be the Light for Jesus Christ, the Salt of the Earth and be a good and faithful servant to the death. We're not to willfully lay down our lives, we just know many will lose their life for their faith but we are never told to just allow the "world" to kill you. This is something you have to learn for yourself but ask yourself this, to Christ Jesus, what good to Him is a willing martyr? Are we of more use to His glory on top of the ground or 6 feet under? What good to this world (the unbelievers) is another "dead Christian" to those who are seeing the truth of God's Word? Who will they turn to if there are few Christians. Even Jesus Christ told His Apostles to sell whatever they had to BUY swords for self-protection.
The liberals lost this election. Half the country is happy, half is not. Half are acting like petulant children. We are going to suffer trials and tribulations. We are to be patient, forgiving and kind. We are also to trust in God and God alone. I pray for Trump but I only trust that God will use him for His will. God's will is perfect so if you like him, don't like him or are apathetic, if you truly live by His Word, WHY are you worried? This is just my POV after much prayer but I truly feel no fear from Donald Trump, no matter what he did in the past. Look at your past and would you trust YOU? I doubt it unless you are SELF-righteous and think more highly of yourself than you ought.
I want you to take a look at this Yahoo "slideshow" (24 pics) that "prove" Barron Trump (who MAY be autistic, not sure and what does it matter if he is? Read what the liberal media says about how this "rich white boy" is living such a LAVISH lifestyle and be sure to read what they say to uphold this "theory." Do not buy into satan's lies, the liberal media's lies and the double-speak and hypocrisy of this liberal agenda. They blast Trump and Melania for...being what I call some pretty awesome, responsible and loving parents. The funniest one I read was "Barron lives a lavish lifestyle because, OF ALL THINGS, he is a "natural born" athlete AND he likes science and math. Yes, they are all this hypocritical. Great characteristics and yeah, he wants to be like his dad. Most 9 year old boys with a strong male role model for a father DOES want to be like "dad," be he a fast food worker or President of the U.S.A.
God bless, I love you guys and this is a mixture of my personal opinion, some Biblical scripture and also information taken from some articles I read on Bible.org. Enjoy the slideshow! I may try to copy and post cos they take these down quite often and you really need to see how bad it is getting as far as how far we've walked away from what is truly important...Our Father, Son and Holy Spirit as found in the Holy Canon of Scripture by the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob...OUR GOD YAWHEY!
BE FOREVER BLESSED, FULL OF GRACE, MERCY, COMPASSION AND LOVE. SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION IN FIRST CORINTHIANS 15:1-11, EPHESIANS 2:8-9; JOHN 3:16 AND ROMANS 3:23 AND 6:23!
DOES BARRON TRUMP "REALLY" LIVE A LAVISH LIFESTYLE? WHAT A MESSED UP WORLD-VIEW
