Spreading the Saving Grace of Christ Jesus. Giving God the glory in all circumstances and allowing Him to transform lives and hearts through the atoning work on the Cross. "For we are saved by grace through faith...Ephesians 2:8-9. Love and praise Him with all your heart, mind, strength and soul. Love thy neighbor as thyself and these are the 2 greatest commandments. For even Christ Jesus came not to be served but to serve and sacrifice.
I'm taking my blog in a new direction starting January 1, 2018 to Sola Scriptura (Bible Alone) and Salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, through Christ Jesus alone. No works salvation. Of course good works will follow salvation as it's the FRUIT of salvation but only good trees bear good fruits. Oh, you can give, help the poor, do all the good things you want and that's a good thing to do BUT without the blood of the Lamb covering your sins, those works or deeds are dead and filthy rags to God. Only you and He know WHY you're doing these deeds but if you aren't saved by His grace, it's all in vain. There's no real point except to make YOU feel good about YOU or to make you appear righteous to others. It's for reasons that have nothing to do with glorifying God. I also have a project I will be doing with a friend of mine but not sure what that is going to be. This blog will be my priority though and pray God blesses it and helps it reach those who need it. In the meantime, I want to make posts that I intend to keep doing because I want you to learn AND enjoy my blog. I want it to be fun. We are to have life and have it more abundantly. So, I'll be doing games, jokes and sharing what I trust between now and the first. I just don't have the time to research everything right now and I won't be a willing part of sharing false doctrine. So, I thought I'd give you something to just think about. We are commanded by Peter in 1st Peter 3:15 (I think that's the chapter/verse) to always be ready to give sound reasons for your faith and hope. So, whether you answer me or not, if someone who doesn't know or believe the Bible is true and asks you how you know it is, give me 5 solid reasons for why you know it's true. It can be anything. It can be secular, logical, Spiritual or just your personal opinion. Time is short and today is the day of salvation. The church is failing America. We are not flourishing but Christianity is growing by leaps and bounds in every other country. We are not spreading the Gospel effectively. Now, I also want you to think of 5 things we are doing that is hurting the true Church, the body of Christ. For example, one of the things that upset me that many Godly people are doing and that's date setting the rapture. This drives me insane because it's hard enough to prove God's Word is infallible and when we say that we're going to be raptured for sure on, say, Jan 29, 2018 and it doesn't happen, the world just says another lunatic "Christian" believing....blah blah blah. Feel free to comment, email me your answers, post a comment or just think about it and ask yourself what we should do to build His Church? We have more opportunities, more proof, more information now than ever but we've never been this lukewarm and dead. You want to work for the Kingdom? Email me at WorthyistheLamb737@yahoo.com and I can give you a lot of things you can do to further the Kingdom of God. You can do a blog (I'll help you); a website, newsletters, write for blogs, just DO something. We do not want innocent blood on our hands. Just please ask yourself these things and see if that doesn't light a fire. Oh, and if nothing else, you can always be a prayer warrior. God is so good!
Well, what's NOT true about this meme and believe this, I am THE guiltiest person on earth in this regards. This meme is meant entirely for myself. I made a vow that the first Sunday in 2018, I plan on finding the church where God wants me to be rather than where I want to be. PRAY FOR US ALL TO DO THAT!
This gives you a quick overview of the TRUTH of what prophecy is and is not. It is NOT a crystal ball that tells the future. You can't be a "prophet" and not be pretty much spot on 100% of the time. Ellen G. White, Russel Taze Moore. John Smith and these new modern day prophets with new "revelations from God" but are wrong 99.9% of the time are not prophets. I've made statements like "within 10 years, I bet they start normalizing pedophilia." Well, it happened but was it prophecy? Did God give me extra Biblical revelations? I can't say for sure that He didn't BUT the reason I said it was based on history. When gay marriage became "legal," personally it didn't upset me because I don't believe a license on earth and saying some words make you married in God's eyes. God determined that marriage is between one man and one woman. Are gays married in God's eyes? I doubt it. They are living in sin as much as two heterosexuals not married living together outside of marriage. There's something important about making an oath to love, honor, cherish and obey your spouse until death do you part. It's a covenant promise! In the OT, if someone claimed to be a prophet and was found to be false, they were to be killed! God takes prophecy seriously and Jesus Christ warns us strongly not to add to or take away from the book. Every modern day prophet has been wrong. Date-setting the rapture or 2nd coming is dangerous. How many times does God have to tell you that YOU CANNOT KNOW? You can take a guess but stop it saying it is GOING to happen because when/if it does not, you make us look more like fools to the world and it hurts the true Church...the Body of Christ.
Do this, write down about 25-50 "predictions" for 2018. Pray or don't, go by the Word or not, but I bet a few occur and most do not. Say it's 50%. Well, you were wrong 50% of the time too. We look around at the world, what is going on and the reasoning and logical part of our brains are quite capable of seeing what is most likely to spring out of any given new law, such as bathrooms, transgenders and gay marriages. It's only reasonable that maybe 3 people want to marry each other. Once that clear line is removed, it opens up for every other group who wants this or that too. Now it's fine to sue Christians for not celebrating their homosexual marriages. Our rights don't matter. Only theirs do. We are being persecuted.
Stop with the "Thus sayeth the Lord," and say this is a possible day for this reason and explain your thoughts but if you ever hope to be taken seriously again, share the Gospel AND especially prove the Bible is truth, stop hindering it. Prophecy is done. What I DO believe is we are given a clear understanding of prophecy already foretold, such as the "explosion of knowledge." Who could have imagined the internet and technology we have today? Yet now we recognize what He was saying. There has no doubt been an explosion of knowledge (Spiritual and secular) and it's growing by leaps and bounds.
What about the anti-christ who will sit in the temple and say he is God. I don't know the verses by heart but supposedly he will be given the ability to speak blasphemous things by the false prophet or dragon (satan). Could it be a 3-D "idol" that through artificial intelligence is able to speak and fool the world into worshiping him (it) AS God? It makes sense to me but I don't know if that's His plan or not.
Last, the Mark of the Beast. Is it an RFID chip? I know the SDA church says it's SUNday worship and not a literal mark. I disagree based on key Biblical passages. One, it deals with buying and selling. How would a cashier know the day you worship without a visible "mark" of some type. It could be a tattoo. We don't know. The Bible also says those who receive it in their right hand or forehead, it will cause great sores to come upon them. Again, how can a metaphorical mark cause sores? That doesn't make logical sense or inline with what the Bible says about it. The number 666 is not a scary number. I use to freak out when it showed up on a receipt. It's only an identifier, not a spooky, demonic number. Don't ever give that thing (satan) one inch of power over you.
We seem to be in the end times. My best "prophetic" advice I can give you is this...
(a) Get right and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord God and Savior
(b) Get grounded in the Word of God
(c) Make sure you have the right Gospel/Jesus according to 1st Cor 15:1-11
(d) Trust only that Christ Jesus's blood can save you, not works, money, etc.
(e) Watch and work
(f) Sow seeds of salvation
(g) Be ready for a pre-trib rapture and be ready in case there isn't one.
(h) Be ye NOT deceived
(i) Turn from sin but know God alone is author and finisher of our salvation
(j) Accept that you are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption
I can't find much information on these guys. They sound like Godly men with sound doctrine and are not a part of these new and improved "churches" that are nothing more than dangerous cults and wolves seeking to devour and destroy. IF you know them to be a part of this new NAR movement, Word of Faith, Little "gods" doctrine; etc., please alert me immediately. I couldn't find anything bad on them. I will never knowingly share false prophets or teachings but I willget things wrong. Please make it credible and not some random unknown website or blog but back it up with facts. I am also not going to be a part of humiliating or calling a man/woman of God what they are not. Let's practice discernment.
This can hardly come as a surprise, lol. My all-time favorite OT book. Maybe it's because it's the ONE I can actually understand and also see the very deep messages as well, the absolute sovereignty of God and well, you can't run forever from Him either. I find it prophetic and using secular written history in no way eradicates this story but rather upholds it! Though it is not mentioned in the Bible, there was a total solar eclipse 40 days before (at least that's my best guess, any errors are mine) and that they worshiped a false god in Ninevah called the "fish man." Imagine what they must have thought seeing Jonah. It's a beautiful story of God's grace and love for us humans. Read it over and over and let the Spirit of God show you the way! God bless and enjoy the sermon. I haven't listened yet but I like this preacher and agree with him on all major points but not on every single thing. That's okay and does not make anyone a false prophet to make an error, it makes them human. Look for consistency and does what they say line up with Scripture and you can't be deceived. Be a good Berean.
Share the Gospel of Salvation, the best and most priceless gift you can give to another. That is our job, after all!
We never know when a tragedy will meet us head on just around the corner. I've been in a few and the Spirit took over and kept my emotions at bay and I did what needed to do. My husband had a seizure and stopped breathing. His lips were blue (indicating he was not getting any oxygen) and foaming a small bit that was pink around his mouth, also an indication blood was involved but not a MAJOR bleed. I was on the phone with 9-1-1 and the operator told me NOT to give him mouth to mouth (I can't spell the other word) but I KNEW to do it. I breathed in his mouth and he started breathing and sat up. Before, he was lifeless, stiff as a board. Then I heard the sirens. Did I save his life? Only God knows that answer but I obeyed what I felt I was led to do and he's fine. Since he'd had a major heart attack and a quad bypass a year before, I did not do the chest compression and it wasn't needed. I'm sure I cried out to God first but I held it together and didn't let my emotions get in the way of doing what is necessary. I do good during the crisis but fall apart afterwards and that's okay. Here are some Biblical principles on how to act in an emergency AND how to let others help you. We have a genuine desire and need to help, do something, so let them. It is a good thing to do for them even if it's for them more than you. It's called LOVE. Be blessed and be safe. Click on the link below to see this much needed slideshow.
