Podcast: The devil is a liar and there is no truth in the destructive thoughts that he brings to our mind
The devil brings thoughts to our mind to steal, to kill, and to destroy us.
When such thoughts come, we must learn to resist these thoughts, knowing they are of devils.
One way to evaluate such thoughts is to take each destructive thought to God in prayer, asking HIM: "What about this, God?"
💥💥💥
John 8:44 (Jesus says:) He (the devil)
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.
The devil will eat you alive with thoughts if you allow this to happen.
I Peter 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

Podcast: Psalm 23
* A few days ago, I found something to be difficult. When I
laid the issue out before God and told HIM how I felt and ask HIM what I
was supposed to do about "this", HE gave me an idea. When I did what
HE showed me it worked! When I pour out the issue before God, HE helps me and then there is no want.
*
It is my assignment from God to edify the church on blogs and on
Podcasts and in books. I had just finished a long project in the Book of
Proverbs. I didn't have anything else to say. When I
took the matter to God, HE showed me what to do next. And I found
there was plenty of green pastures for the sheep to strengthen
themselves. And God showed me exactly what to write and which
exhortations to present.
* If I find empty time in my day and don't seem to have purpose ahead of me, when I talk to God about the "lack" HE brings ideas to fill my time and to satisfy me, leading me in the way to go.
When I turn to God with the issue and make the Lord my shepherd, there is no want.
The
problems come when I'm not exhorting the church, not engaged in doing
my assignment. Then I begin to get bored and wander from channel to
channel on TV finding no thing that is of real interest. (Trying to put
myself in some pasture and finding little to nothing of interest.) When I begin talking to God, making HIM my shepherd, HE leads me to green pastures which are satisfying to me.
If I turn on the TV, I often see turbulent waters. When I turn to God, we come upon waters that are still, calm, peaceful.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul:
When I
turn to God after having been with other people or having been
disturbed by reports of happenings going on in this world, I pray what
David prayed ...
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
I know God can do that for me. I wouldn't know what to do to restore my soul. But each time I turn to God for HIM to cleanse my heart and restore my soul, HE knows exactly what I need and HE always helps me ... cleaning the spots from the sayings of the world off my garment, and setting me at peace again when I turn to HIM.
HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me; THY rod and thy staff they comfort me.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me; THY rod and thy staff they comfort me.
God uses HIS word to keep me on HIS road so I will not fall off into the ditch. The key for me is always HIS words. When I focus on HIS Word which HE gives me, I am stilled, calm, at peace, and restored to truth.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Podcast: Enter ye in at the strait gate
Matthew 7
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
💥💥💥
There are many doors to destruction.
I Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexuals), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
💥💥💥
When a person dies, I often think, "And what NOW?"
Those who hate "the Word" often call the Bible legalistic.
They think they should be free to do that which they want to do.
This is one of the many gates to destruction.
The Word is the way of life and "few" there be that find it.
💥💥💥
God once said to me: "Many want to be free to sin."
"Few want to be free from sin."
Following "the Word" makes us free from sin.
The Word says:
Concerning fornication:
💥 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (I Cor. 6:18)
💥 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE (The Word), shall be one flesh. (I Cor. 6:16) At the time of sexual intercourse, the two are made one even when you have sex with a prostitute.
Concerning divorce and remarriage:
💥 But I (the Word) say
unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause
of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall
marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. (Mt. 5:32)
* The man who divorces "a faithful wife", causes her to commit adultery if she remarries.
* The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
💥 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let
not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her
remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the
husband put away his wife. (I Cor. 7:10-11) This is a commandment of the Lord. The divorced woman has 2 choices: remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband
💥 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. (I Cor. 7:39)
💥 For
the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so
long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the
law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. (Romans 7:2-3)
*
The only time a married woman is free to remarry is if her husband
dies. Otherwise she will commit adultery and the man who marries her,
as a divorced woman, will commit adultery.
💥 And HE (the Word) saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. (Mark 10:11-12) And the man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. (Mt. 5:32)
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. (Mark 10:11-12) And the man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. (Mt. 5:32)
💥💥💥
Concerning homosexuals & lesbians:
Romans 1
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour 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 recompence 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;
They were not born homosexual or lesbian, but the Word says God gave them over to these "vile affections".
The Word says: But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. (Mk.10:6)
💥💥💥
Concerning abortion:
2 Timothy 3
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Without natural affections: Mothers killing their own babies. Abortion ... and homosexuals & lesbians.

Podcast: The World wants to be free to sin. The Word leads us to be free from sin.
Matthew 7:13-14 (The Word says) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The Word leads us into an abundant life. Flesh and devils lead us in ways of destruction.
John 10:10 (Jesus, the Word says:) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I (the Word) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
💥💥💥
John 14 ( Jesus,The Word says:)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in ME (in the Word).
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive
you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I (the Word) am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.

Podcast: The end time "falling away" spoken of by the apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2
In the Bible, the apostle Paul told us in the end time churches would fall away from scripture, speaking perverse things, (Acts 20:29-30), and men would set themselves up as gods in the church. (2 Thessalonians 2)
This
is that spirit of antichrist that moves into church groups and sets up
doctrines opposite to doctrines of Christ in the Bible.
It is antichrist in the churches of the end times.
Acts 20:29-30 (Paul speaking to the elders of the church at Ephesus) For
I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in
among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men
arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
This "falling away" happens before Jesus returns.
God said to me: "The falling away are not people leaving the churches. The falling away are churches leaving the scriptures."
This falling away from scripture has been taking place in various churches for several decades and is all over this world now.
The
stage is set for the returning of Jesus since the falling away of 2
Thessalonians is happening in churches today all over the world ...
churches falling away from various scriptures and setting up doctrines
opposite to the scripture in their church groups.
Explained in this podcast.

Podcast: Lk. 12:40 Jesus says: Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not
The important thing for each of us is not so much "when" Jesus comes, the day and such, but that which is important for each human is staying ready for the coming of Jesus.
God has clearly shown us the following:
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Lk. 21:33-36 Jesus says: Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
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.

Podcast: Possess the land which God has given you
God has given to each of us an assignment to fulfill HIS purpose while we live on this earth.
In
the Old Testament, God gave portions of lands to HIS people but they
had to go up and possess that land though God had given it to them.
Deuteronomy 1
💥💥💥
If you are married you have that land to which you tend day and night for the remainder of your life on this earth.
Each of us need God's wisdom to care for our assignment.
And God has promised to us:
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
💥💥💥
God has given us all that we need to do that to which HE has assigned us. There is no lack. There is no want.
We are well able, through God, who has given us HIS Holy Spirit to live in us and to teach us and to guide us.

time will come toward the end of this world when rich men will cast
their gold and silver into the streets because they will know those
things will not save them in the wrath of God.
Ezekiel.7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
How can God be appeased during The Great Tribulation?
💥💥💥
God knows every evil act of man and man will receive for those things he has done on this earth.
Ahab and Jezebel, his wife, are examples of evil.
I Kings 21
(Ahab covets Naboth's vineyard and Jezebel gets that vineyard for king Ahab.)
1
And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a
vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of
Samaria.
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
(God sees all that we do and "rewards" us for both good and evil.)
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked ME to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked ME to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

Podcast: Changed by God
Genesis 6:5
The minute man touches something, he pollutes it with his own flesh.
Therefore in the Old Testament, God would not allow them to bring "hewn" stones into the tabernacle.
Exodus 20:26 God says: And
if thou wilt make ME an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn
stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
💥💥💥
So God said:
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:
💥💥💥
In the New Testament church, the new covenant of God, we are "born again", changed by God, given a "new heart" and a "new spirit", which is different from the heart and spirit with which we were born onto this earth by our natural parents.
After
God causes this change to happen in us, we no longer follow after those
things of the flesh as we once did. Now we want to know things of God
and we consider what God wants us to do.
We are a new creature:
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
💥💥💥
We
were once flesh, following the impulses of our own flesh. But now we
also have the Spirit of God so we choose to follow that which is shown
us by the Spirit of God, desiring to please God.
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that
they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Think about the way you were before God changed you.
Take the above list and circle those works of the flesh which you sought after before you were born again.
Consider how different you are now!
We don't all seek after each work of the flesh but we have tendencies toward doing certain fleshly things.
I
never cared for drinking alcoholic drinks because I did not like the
taste of the drinks. But some people are very drawn toward such.
My interest was more in debating, striving, emulations.
I find the people and things I once enjoyed, I no longer enjoy. God changed my heart and gave me a new Spirit, HIS Spirit. After that, I wanted to know about God and I wanted to be with people of God.
Now
I know things of this world mean nothing and all these things we can
see with our natural eyes will be destroyed by God at the end of this
world.
Matthew 24:1-2 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and HIS disciples came to HIM for to shew HIM the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Everything we now see with our eyes will be destroyed by God at the end of this present world.
Matthew 24:35 Jesus says: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.
Now I know the only thing worth following is the Word from God which continues forever.
Some people worship historical objects, cultural objects.
Some focus on buildings created by man, wonders produced by man.
Some are impressed by intellect of man.
All these will pass away and are very temporary.
The Word of the Lord is forever, an investment worthy of giving all in order to follow that Word which God speaks to us.
We are greatly blessed when we understand this!
💥💥💥
After God gives us a new heart and a new Spirit, HIS Own Spirit, the Holy Spirit, we then begin to follow what HE says to us, doing HIS things.
And when we do that which God tells us to do by HIS Spirit, we end up producing the fruits of the Spirit by doing those things.
This is totally different from that fleshly spirit which we once followed.
And we thank God continually that HE changed us from that person we once were!

Podcast: Speaking by the Spirit of God
This simply means "relax" ... When you are with another person, speak that which the Holy Spirit brings to your mind.
If you are reminded of a scripture, speak that.
.
If you are reminded of a dream, speak that.
If you are reminded of something God did in your life, speak that.
It is not I who speaks but God speaking by HIS Spirit.
I
never plan ahead that which I will speak to another person when I know I
am going to see that person. I just pray that God have me speak that
which HE wants spoken and I depend on the Holy Spirit who reminds me of
what to speak.
John 14:26 Jesus says: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Luke 21:14-15 Jesus says: Settle
it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall
answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
And often before I meet with that person, I pray ... Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
And often I ask God to have me speak only that which HE wants me to speak ... and I follow the Holy Spirit when HE brings something to my mind.
If it is a scripture, I speak that. If it is a dream, I share that.
Whatever the Holy Spirit brings to my mind as I am with the other
person, I share that.

Podcast: Fight the good fight of faith in God
I Corinthians 10
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
(murmur: complain)
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, WHO will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Along the way, problems pop up. We learn to call on God and HE helps us.
The devil will destroy us if we allow him to do so.
I Peter 5:6-10 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that HE may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for you.
(Pour
out your heart in prayer to GOD, God will strengthen you. God will
help you. God will uphold you with the right hand of HIS
righteousness. The devil comes to destroy you with thoughts. He is a
false prophet telling you everything is going to be disastrous. But
remember he, devil, is a false prophet. Trust in God. HE will take
care of you. And HE will make a way for you. Follow God as long as HE
chooses to leave you on this earth. Make yourself put your trust in
God. God will lift you up.)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

When
God sent the men into search out the land which God said HE would give
them, 8 men brought back evil reports. Only 2 men showed faith in God,
Joshua and Caleb.
Numbers 13
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
(God is with us!)
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and HE will give you into our hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
The 8 men who brought back evil reports were overcome and slain in the wilderness.
Joshua
and Caleb, who had faith in God. were given the victory. overcame and
entered into the promised land as God had promised them.

David fights Goliath:
I Samuel 17
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and HE will give you into our hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
We overcome all things by faith in God and by HIS power.

Podcast: Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. (Proverbs 27:20)
After
we are born again and have the Spirit of God in us, we learn to control
our flesh by following that which is brought to our mind by the Spirit
of God, going in that way of God in the issues of this present life.
Flesh never improves.
We simply learn to follow the Spirit of God when our flesh tries to rise us.
I John 2: 15-17 Love
not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is
in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Matthew 24:1-2
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples
came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said
unto them,
See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be
left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Revelation 6:12-14 And
I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great
earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a
fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty
wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
I Peter 4:1-2 Forasmuch
then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves
likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath
ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in
the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
I Cor. 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but
God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are
able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye
may be able to bear it.
If
we follow that which the Spirit brings to mind, we will not walk in the
ways the flesh wants to go. It is easy, for all we have to do is
follow the Spirit of God. (He will remind us!)

Podcast: Taking hold of the paths of life
Living in truth of the word from God.
Jesus says:
John 10
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Podcast: Tradition of men renders the word of God void, says Jesus.
Many
churches today are teaching doctrines that are traditions of men
instead of the commandments of God from the New Testament Bible.
This is antichrist in the end time church. This is the apostasy that Paul said had to come before Jesus returns.
II Thess. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
"The falling away"
are churches falling away from scripture. When this happens the door
is open for antichrist to come into the church and set up doctrines of
men, departing from scripture which is the doctrine of Christ for the
church.
For example: The Catholic church teaches their followers to pray to Mary. This is their "tradition" set up by men and not by God.
Jesus says: John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
In the New Testament Bible, we are taught to pray directly to God through Jesus Christ.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Mary
is dead. She is sleeping. She cannot hear you or watch over you. No
dead person can do these things. Dead people are asleep.
Jesus shows us that dead people are "asleep".
12 Then said His disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that HE had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Some church people in both Catholic and Protestant churches think dead people watch over them.
The Bible shows us that dead people are asleep.
I Thessalonians 4:13-17 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep (dead).
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep (dead).
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
God watches over us. Dead people are sleeping until Jesus returns.
In churches today, there are many traditions of men which are opposite to the doctrines of Christ in the Holy Bible.
*****
The protestant churches usually call crackers and grape juice, "The Lord's Supper."
But we commune with God through prayer and through the Bible which is the Word of God.
As we partake of scripture correctly and apply scripture to our lives, we "eat and drink" the flesh of Jesus and the blood of Jesus. This is "The Lord's Supper."
Therefore those who wrongly apply scripture, "eat and drink" damnation to themselves.
I Corinthians 11
28 But let a man examine himself (as he reads Bible), and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
***
Matthew 15
1-2 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But HE answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto ME with their mouth, and honoureth ME with their lips; but their heart is far from ME.
9 But in vain they do worship ME, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

In February, 2021, a pastor of a Baptist church in Georgia (USA), announced to the world news media that homosexuals and lesbians were welcome to come to their church.
This is shockingly against the Bible.
Romans 1:26-28 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 recompence 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;
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 recompence 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;
When
I read this on CNN International, I thought of how close we must be
getting to the return of Jesus and the great tribulation and the end of
this world!
For when the churches fall away from scripture this way, we draw much closer to the end.
The
Southern Baptist Convention removed that Baptist church in Georgia from
their association of approved churches. They said they were removed
because they went against the "tradition" of the Baptist church. (They did not mention any scripture at all, just "tradition.")
Even the Southern Baptist Convention pulled away from citing scripture. (antichrist and the end times)
In The Bible, we read the following concerning homosexuals and lesbians:
Romans 1:26-28
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 recompence 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;
When
we, who are of God, give a reason for doing something, it should be
because of a scripture in the Bible and we should present that scripture
for all to see.
***
But to be approved by man many omit Bible.
The Bible, the scriptures, are the only thing keeping antichrist back.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only HE who now letteth will let, until HE be taken out of the way.
When Jesus, THE WORD, the Holy Scriptures are removed, then antichrist moves into the church.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
The apostle
Paul said antichrist was already there in the churches among the elders
even, just waiting until Paul was out of the way so he could move in and
speak perverse things to the church.
Acts 20:29-30 Paul says to the elders of the church at Ephesus:
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in
among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men
arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
The apostle John also told us there were "many"
antichrists in his day coming into their church. They came into their
church, in John's time, and stayed there until they saw they could not
take over and speak their perverse doctrines, and then they left.
I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but
they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt
have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made
manifest that they were not all of us.
Many denominations came as a result of those who did not want to follow sound doctrines in the church groups.
These
denominations set up their own doctrines and left the doctrines of
Christ. They set up their own churches by their own fleshly
preferences.
Some churches even use some scripture for a time only to "fall away" from that instruction and set up other teachings by their own thinking to please men.
It seems unreasonable to say:
* whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. (The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery) Words spoken by Jesus in Matthew 5:32
* Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. (I Cor. 7:10-11 ... a commandment of the Lord says Paul)
*
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband
so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the
law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be
married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. (Rom. 7:2-3)
If the divorced woman remarries, she commits adultery.
* Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. (Words of Jesus in Mark 10:11-12)
* The
wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her
husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only
in the Lord. (I Corinthians 7:39)
* But
I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever
shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
(Word of Jesus in Matthew 32:5)
- Man who divorces "a faithful wife" will be the cause of her adultery if she remarries.
- Faithful wife who has been divorced by her husband commits adultery if she remarries after divorce.
- Man who marries divorced woman commits adultery.
When churches change the doctrines of Christ away from the New Testament Bible, they fall away from the Word of God and this allows antichrist to come into that church group and reign over the church group.
***
The
Catholic church once taught their followers that if a woman was
divorced and she remarried it was a sin. Also they taught that a man
could not marry a divorced woman. But they taught no scripture to back up their rules.
(Also
the Catholics taught their followers that they could not read the Bible
for they would not understand the Bible and they might get it wrong.)
And
more than once, I have heard Catholic individuals say their church told
them they did not need to read the Bible for the Catholic priest would
tell them what they needed to know.
***
The current Southern Baptist Convention is now stating that they do not welcome to their churches homosexuals or lesbians because it is against their "tradition", but they present no scripture.
As time goes by, they change their rules in their churches, falling away from the doctrines of the scripture of the New Testament Bible, and this is antichrist in the churches.
Their followers often do not know what God says in the Holy Bible about these subjects.
When we say what we believe, we must also tell the scripture upon which our belief is based, otherwise the doctrine is weakened and we get to the point we don't know if this is really what God says or not.
***
Satan came to Eve to cause Eve to doubt that which God said:
Genesis 3:1 Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
The devil is the father of lies. Even in his statement to Eve, he presented perversion of the word from God, for devil said, "every" tree? No, God didn't say "every" tree. The devil twists scripture.
(When
I recall a scripture, I like to go to that exact scripture in the
Bible, for the devil has a way of adding things which are not in the
scripture. So I like to read that section of scripture from the Bible
and check exactly what the Bible says to us.)
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.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(See how the devil twisted this scripture when he spoke with Eve.)
Jesus said this concerning the devil.
John 8:44 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.
And when we fail to quote exact scripture, we are beginning the falling away from scripture.
Soon it becomes tradition and something other than the exact word from God.
Then we, too, fall away from scripture.
We must deal very carefully with the Word of God and quote that word correctly to others even when they will not understand.
The scripture is all that stands between us and antichrist.
Do not try to lure people to yourself. Speak the pure Word of God and let them depart if they wish to do so.
I Corinthians 2:14 But
the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they
are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
I Timothy 4:2-3 Preach
the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

II Corinthians 6
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; 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.

When we speak the exact scriptures to them, they will often depart from us when they are unbelievers.
If the unbeliever depart, let him depart.
They will be as thorns in our sides and pricks in our eyes if they are unbelievers and we try to be with them.
Numbers 33:55
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before
you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them
shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
By speaking the scriptures, we drive the unbelievers away from us.
If they agree with scripture, when we speak, then they will be saved and given the Spirit of God.
But as long as an unbeliever chooses to come around you, speak the Word of God as the Spirit brings that word to your mind.
