How To Achieve The Fruits of the Holy Spirit:

According to Galatians 5: 22-23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law”.

Okay, now what does this mean, some of you may be asking? When it says SPIRIT, just WHAT type of “spirit” is the passage talking about? I’m glad you asked! The “Spirit” being referenced/referred to in the above bible passage is talking about the HOLY SPIRIT! Now…..for those of you unsure who or what the HOLY SPIRIT is, let me tell you: it is the SPIRIT OF GOD! That’s why it’s called “Holy”.

Okay, some of you might still be confused so I’ll try to explain it a bit better. Look at the “scientific properties” of WATER, for instance (also known as H20). It is the SAME ELEMENT but has 3 different properties (solid/frozen, boiling/steam, and liquid). So it is with God the Heavenly Father and Jesus. It’s the SAME GOD but it’s the same God represented in THREE DIFFERENT FORMS, if that makes any sense?

BEFORE Jesus appeared on the Earth in his FLESHLY incarnate form (by means of a virgin birth) he appeared during the times of the Old Testament in his PRE-FLESH-INCARNATE-FORMS (also known as “Christophanies” – Google it). He was the “King of Salem” that brought out bread and wine to refresh Abram after he won the battle against foreign kings, He shut the mouths of the Lions in the Lions Den, He with the “Son of Man” who was with Daniel’s 3 friends in the Fiery Furnace of Nubuchadnezzar, He was the “Angel of the Lord” besides Joshua at the Battle of Jericho, He was the one who parted the Red Sea, He was the “Burning Bush Not Consumed” that Moses saw, you get the picture…..

Therefore, during the Old Testament times, there was no need for the Holy Spirit because Jesus was there (in PRE-FLESH-INCARNATE form). And during the times of the New Testament times WHILE Jesus was on the Earth, there was no need for the Holy Spirit because Jesus was THERE in fleshly, incarnate form!

In fact, Jesus explained this in further detail to his disciples in John 16:7 when he said the following:

“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you”

And in Luke 24:49, Jesus is JUST ABOUT to ascend back up to heaven….But not before he leads his disciples up into Bethany and lays his hands on them to bless them:

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high”

However, it wasn’t until AFTER Jesus left the Earth for good (following his Ascension to Heaven), that the disciples RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT/HOLY GHOST:

And please remember: The Holy Spirit of God is the Spirit that testifies of HIM and His Word! It’s the Spirit that’ll let you KNOW things like: “Yes, this is of God” or “No, this is NOT of God!”

In other words, it’s a Spirit of JOY/SPIRITUAL COMFORT and/of SPIRITUAL CONVICTION/DISCERNMENT! (Note: It is called The Holy Ghost AND The Holy Spirit, depending on what bible version you’re reading).

ACTS 2:1-13:

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine”.

Okay, so in a nutshell, the disciples and many others are sitting around in a room, waiting for the “gift” of the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost. And this was about 40 days AFTER Jesus ascended back up to heaven through the clouds to be on the right hand side of God the Heavenly Father.

And suddenly, a WHIRLWIND comes into the room and the disciples start SPEAKING on inspiration from the Holy Spirit! And there were Jews from ALL AROUND gathered there at Jerusalem! There were Greek Jews, Arabian Jews, Asian Jews, etc. And they each spoke their own languages (INCLUDING the disciples of Jesus gathered there at Jerusalem!)

So try to imagine for a moment what CONFUSION that must’ve caused them when they HEARD the disciples speaking, but yet, HEARING THEIR OWN LANGUAGE being spoken! In other words, when Peter was up there on podium speaking Galilean (his native language), the Asian Jews didn’t hear Galilean, they heard their own ASIAN LANGUAGE being spoken. The Greek Jews heard Peter speaking in GREEK, the Arab Jews heard Peter speaking in Arabic or Farsi. You get the picture?

And some of the “diaspora Jews” there thought that fact was SO outrageous, that the disciples “must be drunk with new wine”. Even though that might seem like an “innocent” accusation by TODAY’S STANDARDS, back THEN in ancient biblical standards, that was one of THE WORST things you could say or accuse about a person, ESPECIALLY a disciple or one of high-religious-ranking! So imagine how Peter must’ve felt, standing in front of the all those people, being accused of such things!

Yet, in Acts 2:14-21, Peter gives this BOLD RESPONSE:

“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved”.

By then, the Jews that had accused Peter and the other disciples of being “drunk with new wine” had realized their mistake and were amazed at the BOLDNESS of Peter in the declaration and sat up and took notice!

But anyways, there’s the whole story and backstory concerning the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost. So now that you know WHAT and WHOM the Holy Spirit is, we’re gonna go back to the passage in Galatians:

Galatians 5: 22-23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law”.

In THIS instance, “fruit” doesn’t mean LITERAL fruit. It means SPIRITUAL FRUIT. Or in other words, what types of RESULTS are you getting from your spiritual walk in Christ? Are people getting saved? Are people being given information between right and wrong? Do most people consider you a patient, kind person? You get the idea.

But to further break down the process of the “fruits of the Spirit”, I’m going to personally define each one and then give you hints and tips on how to personally BECOME the epitome of each one on the list! 😉

Remember, the Galatians 5:22-23 passage goes directly in line with Matthew 17:16-20, which states:

“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”

Remember the passage in Matthew 21:18-20 where Jesus is hungry and happens across a fig tree that has leaves on it and LOOKS LIKE it has fruit on it but doesn’t have any fruit on it, so Jesus CURSES THE FIG TREE? That is a foreshadowing of all the “fake Christians” that Matthew 7:21-23 says do the following:

“Not every one that saith unto me, ‘Lord, Lord‘, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?‘ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity“.

Okay, here’s how to NOT be one of those “fake Christians” who end up ETERNALLY CURSED just like the fig tree that LOOKED like it had fruit from the outside but was ROTTEN from the inside: EMPLOY AND EMBODY *THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT* (AKA THE *GOOD FRUITS*)….

Galatians 5: 22-23

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law“

Love – an intense feeling of deep affection. (We can ALL love our friends and family. That’s easy. Even our enemies do the same. But how well do we LOVE Jesus? How well do we love OTHER HUMAN BEINGS that are NOT our friends and family? That’s what Jesus means when he says in Matthew 22:37-40 “Jesus said unto him, ‘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. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets”.)

Joy – a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. (Do you obey the Lord because you feel like you begrudgingly HAVE to? Or do you obey the Lord Jesus Christ because you WANT to, out of SHEER LOVE and RESPECT for the Savior? Do you feel JOY while obeying his commandments? Do you feel JOY in his Spirit? If not, you’re doing something wrong and you better pray to Jesus quick to find out what the something IS!)

Peace – freedom from war/disturbance, remaining calm, feeling tranquil/content/relaxed. (Do you feel at peace with your day to day life? If so, why not? Is there something you’re doing wrong in your walk with Christ? If so, FIX IT! And if you DO feel “at peace” with your day to day life in Christ, that’s a good sign, it means you’re on the path that Jesus WANTS you on, in life. If you feel “peace” about a move, a job change, a marriage, it means that Jesus is behind it. Note: If you DON’T feel peace about something, or don’t feel “at peace” WITH Jesus, there’s something wrong! Better examine it while you still have a chance!)

Longsuffering – having or showing patience in spite of troubles, especially those caused by other people. (Do you CAVE at the first sign of pressure? Do you immediately get into an argument if someone hurts you? Or do you try to reanalyze and reassess the situation……..maybe they didn’t mean to hurt you? Maybe they were having a bad day?)

Gentleness – the quality of being kind, tender, or mild-mannered. (Think of children, pets, and old people. Do you hold the door open for old people or help them put things in their shopping basket? Are you gentle and patient with pets and children when they act up? Are you gentle with your spouse if you disagree with them about something?) 

Goodness – the quality of being morally good or virtuous (Please remember that Jesus AND the bible define virtue and “moral good” as those people who SUBMIT to Jesus and his biblical laws! For a person can’t be a “good person” without Christ!)

FAITH – complete trust or confidence in Jesus and/or his promises, even if not (yet) seen (Hebrews 11:6 says: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”).

Meekness – being submissive, humble and agreeable (but not sinning when doing so – i.e. being “submissive” to God’s Word, not blaming Jesus or others for what’s wrong in your life or in your job, etc.)

Temperance – self-control, abstinence from strong alcoholic drink and/or “all non-sinful things in moderation?” (i.e. eating a “moderate” amount of food instead of over-eating, only watching an hour of TV every night instead of all night, only being on the computer for an hour each night, instead of all night, etc.?)

Self-Application Study Guide Questions:

1). Have you ever failed to show “LOVE” to someone? Who? Why? How? What can you do from now on to make sure it doesn’t happen again? How have you felt before when someone else refused to show “love” to you in a given situation?

2). Who or what do you find your “JOY” in? Why? Would Jesus approve of the said thing or person you find “joy” in? Why or why not? What stories from the bible (if any) give you joy? Why? How can you INCORPORATE some of that joy into your OWN life? Do you feel JOY at the mere mention of Jesus and/or salvation? If not, why not? Are you jealous of other Christians who seem to have much “joy” in their lives, despite all the calamities they face? If so, that’s a good sign for there IS such a thing as “righteous envy” and Jesus can take that “righteous envy” of yours and use it for HIS GLORY! So fret not!

3). Do you feel a sense of PEACE in your life, concerning Jesus and and the gospel? Why or why not? If not, whom or what is holding you back from feeling that sense of peace in Jesus in your life? What steps can you take to recapture that peace in Jesus that was stolen from your life from said thing or person? Note: If someone has stolen your “peace in Jesus”, then that means you’re doing something wrong! That either means you’re either caving in to the pressures of persecution, you happen to be dating or married to a non-Christian or you’ve allowed someone to slowly creep in and rob you of your faith! The only way to have PEACE IN JESUS is to REPENT OF ALL SIN *TO* JESUS and get back on the “battlefield of life!”

4). Remember the parable of the sower? What happens when persecution hits ya? Do you get scared and give up and go running for the hills? Do you back off from your faith and/or your preaching a bit, hoping that the persecution will die down soon? Do you stress and buckle underneath all the pressure you’re under from school, home, work, etc.? Or do you face whatever “trials” come your way head-on, KNOWING that Jesus is with you? If you tend to run away from trials and tribulations, WHY? And what steps can you do to change that from now on? Did you know that even the demons themselves tremble and believe in Jesus? So why don’t YOU?

Longsuffering simply means the ability to remain calm NO. MATTER. WHAT. In other words, a group of people might be spiritually persecuting you. Do you give up and go running away (i.e. change jobs?) Or do you face the persecution head-on, knowing that no matter what, Jesus is with you and they (the persecutors) won’t win? Please remember that our faith is tested by FIRE (i.e. trials and tribulations). So if you can’t stand in spiritual battle NOW, how ever will you be able to stand in spiritual battle later, when the “heat of persecution” INTENSIFIES?

5). Gentleness – How many of us have gotten occasionally impatient with small children, pets or old people? Our young children are acting up, our pet is acting up and not minding us, the old person ahead of us in line at the checkout is taking FOR-EVEEERRRR to pay……Nearly all of us, at some point or another, if we’re being completely honest. But the “fruit” of gentleness just means we need to be PATIENT and GENTLE at ALL TIMES (even during the times when we’re about to LOSE patience). That’s why Jesus says to anger but NOT to sin IN our anger. Trust me, it’s an acquired learning exercise. What types of situations have you been impatient with a young child, a pet or an old person? Why? How? What types of situations in the future can you utilize to be PATIENT and GENTLE with small children, pets and old people?

6). Goodness – Funny how almost every single human on the planet would (in their own mind) define themselves as a “good person”. Because hey, no-one really likes admitting their own failures and shortcomings, am I right? It makes them feel so……..small……like such a “terrible” human being with flaws……..with………sin……….with…….oh my gosh….(gasp!) IMPERFECTIONS! However, the bible (and Jesus) define a good person by how well they RECEIVE the gospel AND apply it to their LIFE!

Have you ever been unkind to someone? Why? How? Did being unkind TO that someone help or hurt the situation? Did you feel guilty at all afterwards, on the inside? Why or why not? We must be “GOOD” (that means be KIND) to ALL people, according to the bible! It’s a part of “loving our neighbor as ourselves”. Noah was defined in the bible as a good man, a righteous man who always tried to OBEY the Lord. And no doubt OBEYING the Lord (on Noah’s part) very likely meant loving OTHER PEOPLE as he loved the Lord and HIMSELF!

7). **FAITH** – Hebrews 11:6 says: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”.

For those people who have actually SEEN Jesus during a Near-Death Experience, faith is nearly automatic! But for those who have NOT seen Jesus during an N.D.E., faith is a little more hard to come by, I know. How much faith in Jesus (if any) do you have? Why? If not alot, why is that? Do you think the universe came to be by mere accident? Do you think that colored illustrated books just produce, write, illustrate and publish themselves?

There is SO MUCH EVIDENCE for Jesus and his existence (outside of N.D.E.’s AND outside of Christian sources, even) that it’s not even funny! In the Old Testament, Saul is told that Jesus prefers FAITH over sacrifice! Also, it was Abraham’s FAITH that was accounted to him for all righteousness! If you don’t have faith or alot of faith, you can always PRAY TO HAVE FAITH! 😉

Your key always opens up the lock to your house/apt., your microwave always turns on when you hit the power button, the TV remote always turns off when you turn it off. Therefore, if you have faith in inanimate things, why don’t you have more faith in Jesus, the one true LIVING GOD? What steps can you take to increase your faith? The bible says that faith comes by hearing and that hearing comes by READING THE WORD (The Bible itself!) So what steps can you take to increase your reading of the bible daily?

8). Meekness – How submissive to Jesus and God’s Written Word (the bible) are you? Do you find yourself “questioning certain parts” or “disagreeing with others?” Do you find yourself “questioning God” or certain biblical characters on a continual basis? If so, why? And/or do you find yourself feeling “superior” to other Christians for all your biblical-based bible knowledge or principles? Why? How?

Do you occasionally find yourself questioning Jesus’s orders? (i.e. “But Jesus………this doesn’t make any sense to me! Why should I print an Op-Ed letter to you when that seems totally crazy to me? I don’t get it. Until I understand why, I’m not doing it!”) Are you “meek” (submissive and humble) towards Jesus, the bible and others? If not, why? What steps can you take to learn to be more meek and humble? Jesus says the meek and the humble SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH (i.e. New Jerusalem talked about in Revelation 21-22!)

9). Temperance – Do you have “modesty?” “Self-control?” If not, why? Whom or what are you addicted to? Why? How? How does this “addiction” play into the fact that the “fruit” of the Spirit REQUIRES us to have “self-control”? Can you see how said “addiction” is taking you AWAY from Jesus and the gospel of Salvation?

If the serving on the package says 1 cup, do you eat 5 cups serving instead? If so, why? The bible condemns drunkenness. Do you ever get drunk? If so, WHY? In my mind, this does NOT just apply to “addictions” like alcohol, drugs, sex, videogames, partying, food and the like. It also means WITH OUR WORDS! Are we able to “self-control” our WORDS? Are we able to “self-control” our ANGER and our ACTIONS?

How many times have you lost “self-control” over something or someone? Why? How? Do you see HOW and WHERE the LACK of “self-control” came from? What steps can you take to overcome said LACK of self-control? With time, prayer, patience and training, YOU can train yourself to have more “self-control” and “self-restraint”.

I hope this has helped someone today know how to apply the 9 FRUITFUL GIFTS of the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost to their lives! Thanks and have a great evening! 😉

 

 

 

 

Mark of the Beast: Coming To A Town Near YOU, Part ONE

Rather you’re a believer in Jesus Christ/Yeshua or not, ONE thing is certain……bible prophecy’s now happening in today’s world at BREAKNECK SPEED!

Don’t believe me? Here are just a FEW bible prophecies, complete with headlines:

https://yeshua777.wordpress.com/signs-of-last-days-bible-prophecy-fulfilled/

The bible spoke of a time when the LAND would “mourn”, when human hearts would “wax cold”, when people would call good (in the “true biblical sense”) evil and evil (that WHICH the bible calls “evil”) good and also most specifically of a time when THE BEAST (i.e. Satan/Satan’s Geo-Political Frontman) would rise to power.

Now….For those of you not familiar with the bible, bible prophecy, AND/OR the book of Revelation in the New Testament, let me describe to you what’s gonna happen in the VERY near future:

There is chaos and “financial collapse” happening all over the globe. No-one can deny this. [Note: Argentina and Greece are just a PREVIEW of what is to come……even to DEVELOPED countries…] And someday soon, things are going to get bad…..really, really bad [financially and otherwise].

In fact, the bible hints that things will become SO BAD (financially), that ALL the countries of the world will likely have to elect or appoint a one world gov’t leader to “get a financial handle on it all”. And the way he will do this (the bible says it’s a he) is by developing a ONE WORLD CURRENCY, ONE WORLD RELIGION, AND ONE WORLD GOV’T.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wait there just a minute! All the religions of the world will NEVER AGREE to THAT”, some might say. But yet, the bible says they WILL. How? By deception on Satan’s part. See, Satan will be the one who GIVES this one world gov’t leader his power and the power to PERSUADE people.

And this man, this one world gov’t leader soon to arrive on the scene, is one and the same. He’ll try to make the Christians think he’s Jesus Christ, the Muslims think he’s Allah, the Buddhists to think he’s Maitreya or the 5th Buddha, the Jews to think he’s their “long-awaited Messiah” and the list goes on and on. 

Let me put this differently: The Christian Anti-Christ IS the “global end times messiah”/THE BEAST talked about in Revelation! And IS the “false messiah” of the world that all the world’s religions are waiting on! [Only, the world’s religions (as a whole) DON’T KNOW he’s a false messiah. By the time they DO figure it out, for many of them, it’ll be TOO LATE and their fates will already be sealed FOR ETERNITY! ;(]

Therefore, BECAUSE all the major world religions are awaiting a “messianic type figure”, it will be no problem at’tall FOR this one world gov’t leader to convince people that he IS the “messiah”. And we know from the bible that ALL people who’s names aren’t written in the Lamb’s Book of Life WILL be deceived by this man/this false messianic figure who gets his power from Satan.

“What’s the Lamb’s Book of Life?”, some might ask. Answer: It is Jesus’s personal/spiritual record book of ALL those souls who believe in him, trust him, love him and OBEY HIM in any and ALL things! Those who believe and are baptized in the Holy Spirit of Truth! Those who have FULLY repented of their sins, etc. In other words, those that the Lord Jesus Christ/Yeshua is PROUD to call his servants! And he will profess those peoples’ names to the Heavenly Father and to the Holy Angels!

HOWEVER….Those whose names are NOT found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life WILL be deceived by THE BEAST/THE ANTICHRIST. He will have the power of PERSUASION. He will be very likeable and popular. He will seem to be “the answer to the world’s problems”. He’ll even perform FALSE MIRACLES, like bring fire down from heaven and bring life to an “image” of the Beast!

“And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed“ – Revelation 13:13-15

 

And BECAUSE of that, He’ll have MANY, MANY, **MANY** people fooled, into thinking he’s “God”.

And AMIDST all the world chaous, and global financial meltdown, he’ll even “propose” a new “global financial system” that APPEARS to be “the answer to the world’s problems”. And “unsaved” people will fall for it, hook, line and sinker………..even many self-professed “Christians” themselves (YES, IT’S TRUE!)

Revelation 13:16-17 says: “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: 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”

Translation? This “mark” will be REQUIRED of ALL man, women and children, in order to be able to buy or sell. And WITHOUT this “mark” in their RIGHT HAND or FOREHEAD, they will NOT be able to buy or sell. And the book of Revelation says that ALL people who TAKE this “MARK” will be thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE…….FOR ETERNITY!

I can just picture it right now….”Christian” and/or “Messianic Jewish” families who’ve followed Jesus Christ their WHOLE LIVES…..only to start worrying at the VERY, VERY LAST MINUTE (when the GLOBAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE happens) about how they’re going to feed their families and their young children….They really DON’T want to get the Mark (in their hearts) and they KNOW it’s wrong (eternally) but they figure Jesus would understand and forgive THEM for taking the Mark since they don’t truly worship the beast in their hearts & since they ONLY want to feed their children, nothing more (or so they “reason” with themselves, anyways)…….

They think there’s no way in HECK that Jesus would condemn THEM for such spiritual atrocities. But, they are VERY, VERY SADLY mistaken! For Jesus Christ will say to them on the Day of Judgement, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:23) OUCH!

Because in Jesus’s eyes, there’s NO EXCUSE for sin! NONE! It doesn’t matter WHY a person would choose to take the Mark of the Beast. Just THAT they did. It is a MAJOR sign of disobedience to God and a MAJOR slap in God’s face cause it’s like saying PERSONALLY to Jesus: “Jesus….? I don’t trust you to provide for me and my family during our financial time of need. Just like I don’t trust you to feed my young children. I NEED to take the Devil’s Mark, in order to be able to feed my children. You understand, don’t you?”

JESUS ISN’T HAVING IT!!!!! You take the Mark, you DIE….spiritually…….and there’s NO HOPE FOR YOU, IF YOU DO! Because it’s IN that very moment where you choose The Mark or choose to die FOR Christ instead that will ultimately determine if YOUR name gets written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I’m SERIOUS!

Revelation even speaks of AN ANGEL that tries to go around warning people on the Earth NOT to get the Mark of the Beast:

“And the third angel followed them, saying with a LOUD voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name” (Revelation 14: 9-11)

And people, THE MARK is NOT about food/buying/selling, it’s about WORSHIP! So when a person gets the Mark of the Beast to feed their families, they’re receiving the Beast’s Mark of WORSHIP! Plus who’s to say that it won’t IMMEDIATELY change a person’s brain chemistry into worshiping the beast? Just sayin’.

So……what happens to the people that REFUSE to worship the beast and/or take his “Mark”, you might ask? Revelation 13:15 says they will be killed. So, in short, when it comes down to the wire, it’s either gonna be take the mark and be damned by Jesus Christ FOR ETERNITY. Or REFUSE the mark and DIE. There IS no other way, folks!

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” – Revelation 13:15

But take heart. Jesus says in John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world”

Jesus ALSO says in John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”

In other words, to DIE for Christ is GAIN but to DENY CHRIST in any way, shape or form is to BECOME CHRIST’S ETERNAL ENEMY!

Think about that for awhile. Let that sink in……

Also meditate on the FOLLOWING:

“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: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto LIFE, and **FEW** there be that find it” – (Matthew 7:13-14)

Translation? VERY FEW people make it to “New Jerusalem” (talked about in Chapters 21-22 in Revelation in the New Testament) while MILLIONS UPON BILLIONS are CONDEMNED to the LAKE OF FIRE….FOR ETERNITY!

“Why so many?”, one may ask and the answer is THIS: Because VERY few people OBEY Christ! It’s not JUST about “believing” in Him but also OBEYING Him! For example, the Muslims believe in Christ but they don’t OBEY Him! For IF they DID truly “obey Him”, they would worship Jesus Christ AS the Messiah, and NOT as some “lowly messenger”. That’s just ONE example, there.

Another example might be a “Catholic” that REFUSED to stop worshiping “idols” (something that God/Jesus EXPRESSLY forbids!) And yet others might be all the “lukewarm” Christians out that never bothered to help those in need, etc., OR the Christians/Messianics in above theoretical example who took the “Mark”, in order to be able to feed their family, etc. Or those who’ve followed other religions, didn’t believe in Christ or just HATED Christ in general (i.e. Satanists, etc.)

But the ONE thing that ALL people who take the Mark have in common is that they (in true effect) ETERNALLY DENY CHRIST the VERY MOMENT they receive THE MARK OF THE BEAST. But it sure won’t LOOK like the Mark of The Beast, all menacing/ominous and stuff. It will probably LOOK innocent to most people. “Oh, it’s just a one world gov’t mark or symbol, no big”, most people will say. My guess is that The Mark will be some sort of symbol for “global unity” but that’s ALSO associated with the number 666, somehow. But again, who knows. 

And I can’t stress this ENOUGH, folks! Taking the Mark has NOTHING to do about buying or selling (though, if one wants to be able to buy or sell, they WILL have to take the Mark, no exceptions!) It has EVERYTHING to do with WORSHIP. The Beast wants WORSHIP. And if people won’t worship him willfully, he wants them to do it forcefully, by force, by ANY means necessary, really. 

Are YOU ready to give up your life for Christ? If someone told you tomorrow “take The Mark or DIE“, would YOU be willing to die? If not, why? Because folks, let me tell ya something. If YOU’RE not ready to DIE for Christ when the time comes, YOU need to pray to GET READY for when that time comes. Because that time’s gonna be here sooner than you or even I, know it. MARK MY WORDS!

“Cultural Christianity” Vs. BIBLICAL Christianity

Many people of today call themselves “Christian” and celebrate in “Christian holidays”, etc. But VERY FEW “Christians” actually take a step back and wonder if what they’ve been “practicing in the church” their whole lives, as a “Christian”, is EVEN BIBLICAL! They just “assume” it is. And that is sad and unfortunate, folks!

CULTURAL CHRISTIANS (as a whole) :

1. Go to “church” every Sunday

2. Pay tithes to “the church“

3. Sit in pews while listening to a “pastor” preach (in general) “feel good” messages that oftentimes have nothing to do with the BIBLICAL Jesus Christ, bible prophecy or the End Times (in general), while maintaining own’s own individual “silence” about their own personal experiences/biblical insight with the Lord with fellow church members (during a church sermon) and the OUTSIDE WORLD 

4. Celebrate in “Christian holidays” without a second’s thought as to WHERE those “traditions” came from/etc.

5. See nothing wrong with LGBT issues/BEING LGBT

6. See nothing wrong with “abortion” and see it as a “woman’s right”

7. Believe the Old Testament and “Biblical Feasts” No Longer Apply, that they are ONLY “Jewish feasts” and also that “Christian holidays” are “truly biblical”

8. Don’t take marriage vows seriously (as a whole) 

9. Think it’s OK to bring “New Age” concepts into “the church” (as a whole)

10. Think “the church” is a building/a place to GO TO and not a thing TO BE

11. Think Genesis and the book of Revelation ARE NOT REAL

12. Don’t see ANY major importance in studying up on bible prophecy and the End Times

BIBLICAL Christians, on the other hand, don’t DO any of the 12 things above (as a whole)………In fact, they do JUST THE OPPOSITE:

1. Celebrate the Sabbath on the BIBLICAL 7TH DAY OF THE WEEK (Saturday), not sunday!
2. Do NOT pay “tithes” to the institutionalized “Christian church” but instead, CHEERFULLY give to those in need (i.e. a homeless person on the street, someone at the doctor’s office that needs help with medical costs, a person in line at the register that’s short of change/money, etc.)
3. Study up on the End Times and bible prophecy
4. (As a whole) Do NOT really celebrate in “Christian holidays” anymore in their hearts but instead, celebrate in the BIBLICAL/JEWISH HOLIDAYS, while also trying to learn as much about the “Jewish/Biblical roots” of Christianity that they can! 
5. Realize that LGBT behavior is a GRAVE SIN……something that the ancient biblical cities of Sodom & Gomorrah were burned down for!
6. See Abortion as a GRAVE SIN and realizes that ALL of life is “precious” in the Lord’s site!
7. KNOW that “Christian holidays” are of Pagan origin and that the “Jewish holidays” mentioned in the bible are the TRUE, BIBLICAL HOLIDAYS!
8. Take any and all marriage vows SERIOUSLY!
9. KNOW that “New age” philosophy has NO PLACE in the true, BIBLICAL church!
10. KNOW and REALIZE that “the church” isn’t a place to go to but rather, a thing TO BE! For EACH believer themselves + the “assembly” of believers = “THE TRUE/BIBLICAL CHURCH”, according to the bible!
11. KNOW without a doubt that ALL OF THE BIBLE IS TRUE, all the way from Genesis to Revelation!
12. KNOW and REALIZE the **UTMOST IMPORTANCE** of studying up on bible prophecy and the End Times and knows that Jesus Christ IS the spirit of prophecy!

[Yet sadly, many “CHRISTIANS” today are “CULTURAL CHRISTIANS”. They are not true, AUTHENTIC Christians, but Christians “in name, ONLY”.

Oddly, many people today are “Cultural Christians” without even REALIZING it! In fact, I myself used to be a “Cultural Christian” that worshiped on the Sunday Sabbath, was on the fence about pre-marital sex being a sin or not if two people were engaged to be married, etc. (before the Lord opened up my eyes!)

[YES, Jesus Christ had appeared to me when I was little during a NDE, but there were still many, many things about him/his word that I HADN’T yet learned at that point in time, from ages 2-32. The only thing the NDE did was prove to me that he was real, that he came from heaven, that he had the power over life and death, that his voice had the ability to shake the Earth and the waters and that during the End Times, many would “fall away” and be eternally judged by HIM!}

In fact, Jesus says in Matthew 15: 8-9 “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men“. [OUCH! Does that NOT sound like most of today’s “Christians” in the “institutionalized Christian church”, folks?]

And honestly, I think the Lord “purposely” allowed me to BE a fellow “Cultural Christian” for awhile so that I could see just HOW “easy” it is TO fall into the TRAP that’s known as “Cultural Christianity”. It was only through YEARS and YEARS of biblical study that I was FINALLY able to break free through all the false, Satanic layers in “Modern-day Christianity” and teach OTHERS how to do so! I simply call it “peeling back the layers”.

In fact, if Jesus Christ were to come to the Earth today and see just how “the church” was being run, (in general), I’m sure he’d be just as angry (if not even more so) as he was towards the money-changers in the temple in biblical times (Matthew 21:13). In fact, what would he see, if he were to see most of today’s “Christian churches” and “Christians”? He’d likely see the following:

1. A “pastor” droning on and on about a “feel good” message that had NOTHING to do with the BIBLICAL Jesus Christ, bible prophecy or the End Times (in general)

2. People “tithing” money for the “church building upgrade”, the pastor’s new car, etc.

3. People being “solemn pew potatoes”, instead of JOYOUSLY sharing with EACH OTHER as well as nonbelievers (on a daily basis and not JUST during bible study) their knowledge/experience with the bible/the Lord/their lives as it pertains to Christ/etc.

4. People “celebrating” in holidays that had absolutely NOTHING to do with the BIBLICAL Jesus Christ and that actually MOCKED HIM, in hindsight (while also WORSHIPING IDOLS – and not just Catholic “saints”, folks….Tell me what the EASTER BUNNY and SANTA CLAUS have to do with Christ? ANSWER: NOTHING!!! They’re an ABSOLUTE MOCKERY OF JESUS CHRIST IN FRONT OF OUR VERY OWN EYES AND MANY HUMANS DON’T EVEN REALIZE OR SEE IT!!!!)

5. People clinging to “Satanic lies” of “pleasure and SODOMY” (especially in the LGBT community) and ALSO people who buy into the transgender LIE of: “I think, therefore I am” when that personally can’t be FURTHER from the “biological truth!” [Truth be told, NO AMOUNT OF SURGERY IS GOING TO CHANGE A PERSON GENETICALLY……only COSMETICALLY…..plus, even IF such technology would ever come about, MESSING WITH THE IMAGE OF GOD HAS *DIRE* ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES, WHICH IS THE LAKE OF FIRE!] 

6. Many women in the church “seeing nothing wrong with abortion” and “getting one”, as a result

7. People writing off Jesus’s BIBLICAL HOLIDAYS (Passover, Tabernacles,etc.) that are both a foreshadowing of him AND revealed in him, saying to themselves and others that they are just “Jewish holidays, ONLY”

8. Married people cheating on each other right and left and/or working on their 3rd/4th marriage (swapping spouses like they do underwear)

9. People (especially young people) incorporating New Age concepts into “the church”, while also (as a whole) NOT saving themselves for marriage before having sex/etc.

10. People TRULY believing in their hearts that “the church” is “a BUILDING”, and not the body/assembly of believers themselves

11. People TRULY believing in their hearts that Genesis is NOT real, that Revelation is NOT real, that bible prophecy is NOT real/no longer applies

12. People that “yawn” at bible prophecy and don’t see its total significance

In fact, do you think Jesus Christ would be happy with even HALF the stuff going on in “the churches” today? The answer is a resounding NO!

In fact, during his mighty Day of Judgement, Jesus warns:

“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not” (Matthew 25: 41-43)

But the UNREPENTANT “Cultural Christians”will be SHOCKED to hear this! They will protest with the FOLLOWING:

“Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” (Matthew 7:22)

“Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?” (Matthew 25:44)

And HERE is how Jesus is going to RESPOND to such people:

“Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it NOT to one of the least of these, ye did it NOT to me” (Matthew 25:45)

“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity“ (Matthew 7:23)

[And while there’s SOME Christians out there in the church today who truly have NO IDEA about what the true sabbath is, and that DO believe homosexuality/abortion’s a sin, and that DO try to please the Lord Jesus Christ in everything they do, these folks (today, atleast) are FEW and FAR BETWEEN! The good majority of “Christians” in “the church” today are “CULTURAL CHRISTIANS”.

They not only don’t KNOW the REAL history of the Christian church/manmade Sun-day Sabbath:

http://withoutspotorblemish.blogspot.com/2010/04/happy-ishtar-no-wait-i-mean-happy.html

But they DON’T CARE to know these things! And if they DO know the true history of the church/etc., they (once again) DON’T CARE! They are COMPLACENT and have a COMPLACENT ATTITUDE towards Christ and his gospel and it’s that VERY SAME complacent attitude that’s going to COST THEM THEIR ETERNAL SALVATION IF THEY DON’T QUICKLY REPENT AND CHANGE THEIR HEARTS! **THE DOOR TO SPIRITUAL PROBATION IS SOON CLOSING, FOLKS! TIME TO GET RIGHT WITH THE *BIBLICAL* JESUS CHRIST AND NOT THE “FALSE ONE” TAUGHT IN CHURCHES TODAY!!!!!!]

Therefore, any “Cultural Christian” REFUSING to change their heart/mind/body/spirit, AFTER LEARNING THE TRUTH, (THE TRUE BIBLICAL TRUTH), in order to make themselves right with the Lord? Jesus will be ETERNALLY CASTING THOSE PEOPLE OUT……..those that CALLED themselves “Christian” while living on Earth but never really bothered to check just what being a “Christian” really meant or what the TRUE history of Christianity/the “Christian church” was!

Those that called themselves “Christian” but yet, still continued to worshiped IDOLS on a NONBIBLICAL MAN-MADE SABBATH and that also celebrated in PAGANIZED SATANIC HOLIDAYS that actually MOCK JESUS! THOSE who cared more about the world and the things OF the world than they did Jesus and his gospel! Those who never donated to those in need,etc. And BECAUSE they never really gave Jesus (the BIBLICAL JESUS) the TRUE honor, worship and credence that he DESERVED, they will NOT have their names written in the LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE!

In fact, Revelation 20:15 states the following: “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire“

“What’s the lake of fire?”, some might ask. Answer: It’s 1,000,000 times hotter than the fires of hell! And the fires of hell are 100,000 times hotter than a flame from a small lighter (according to the archangel Michael during one of my near-suicide experiences).

So do the math, folks! The lake of fire is HOTTER THAN ANYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE, most likely! And this fire (BECAUSE it is SO abominably HOT), was originally intended for the Devil and his angels! And the fires of hell are someday gonna MERGE INTO the lake of fire, (according to Revelation in the bible), making it EVEN HOTTER! So imagine this, folks! Put your hand under a small flame from a lighter! Feel the INTENSITY of that flame! Then imagine something that’s 100 TRILLION times hotter than that and that’s the lake of fire for ya!

So just think…..ALL the nonbelievers, ALL followers of “different religions”, ALL “Cultural Christians” will end UP in the “lake of fire”. And they will be there FOR ETERNITY!

For it states in Revelation 14:11 “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name“

But let me take this a step further. BECAUSE “Cultural Christians” aren’t TRULY saved in the name of Jesus and BECAUSE the Holy Spirit’s not WITH THEM, they will fall for almost any lie brought on by Satan and his New World Order!

In fact, amidst world chaos (that’s already happening in the world today), a global world leader will someday soon come on the scene (if not already so!) He will appear to be the answer to the world’s problems. He will even “promote peace”. But it’ll be a FALSE PEACE! For this global leader is nothing other than THE ANTICHRIST!

And he will someday soon require ALL of Earth’s inhabitants (rich and poor, great and small, free and bond) to take a mark on their right hand or their foreheads, in order to be able to buy and sell. But WHOEVER takes this mark will be DAMNED BY GOD FOR ETERNITY! (That’s what the last part of Revelation 20:15’s talking about: “and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name”).

On the OTHER hand, if Jesus Christ were to return to the Earth today and see all of the people that were desperately trying to RETURN to “Jewish/biblical-roots Christianity” and/or live their lives as “biblically accurate” as possible, I think he would be QUITE PLEASED! For he (in general) would see the following:

1. Those who study the KJV bible at home or in “small group house churches” (the true, biblical model of “church”)

2. Those giving money to people who actually need it (e.g. homeless people on the street, people in need of medical assistance costs, the person in front of us at the register who’s short $1 or two, etc.)

3. Those giving their own biblical “insight” or personal experiences to other fellow Christians AND nonbelievers, instead of just listening to a pastor rattle on & on with what is oftentimes a “feel good” message that has NO true biblical importance concerning the BIBLICAL JESUS CHRIST or merit concerning bible prophecy, the End Times…….OR listening to a true, BIBLICAL message about the End Times/bible prophecy, etc. 

4. Those who mostly celebrate ONLY in the BIBLICAL HOLIDAYS (Passover, Tabernacles, Pentecost, etc.), while “inching away from Christmas” and DENOUNCING ALL IDOLS/IDOL WORSHIP! 

5. Those who see the TOTAL LIES of Satan’s LGBT “agenda” and aren’t afraid to speak up about it

6. Those who see the TOTAL LIES of “Satan’s abortion agenda” and aren’t afraid to speak up about it

7. Those who not only believe but KNOW that the Old Testament and Biblical Feasts stand for NOT JUST the Old Testament AND New Testament times but for ALL TIME (even the New Millennium!)

8. Those who take any and all marriage vows SERIOUSLY

9. Those who see the TOTAL LIES of Satan’s “New Age concepts” and aren’t afraid to speak up about it, as it pertains to “the church”

10. Those who know (or have come to know) that “the church” is the body/assembly of believers themselves, and NOT “a building”

11. Those who KNOW that Genesis and Revelation (and every word of the bible – front to back) is not only REAL but that Genesis ACTUALLY HAPPENED, that everything in the Book of Revelation WILL happen, and that everything in between from the beginning of the bible to the near end has ALREADY HAPPENED – MARK MY WORDS!)

12. Those who know and realize the UTMOST IMPORTANCE (especially at THIS time and hour in “world history) to study up on bible prophecy and the End Times and how current world news events fit into bible prophecy [Open Your Eyes People is an end times ministry that DOES just that….they focus on world news events and how they tie in to bible prophecy, a MUCH NEEDED MESSAGE in today’s “sinful world!”]

And guess what? On Jesus’s day of judgement, instead of CASTING OUT the people who TRULY hunger and thirst for the TRUE, BIBLICAL righteousness and NOT the FALSE type of “righteousness” as THE WORLD or “church congregations” define it, he will instead say:

“Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me” (Matthew 25: 34-36)

“Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord” (Matthew 25: 21)

In other words, these true people of the Lord will receive LIFE ETERNAL and will gain entry through the gates of the NEW heavenly city called NEW JERUSALEM, that God Almighty shall bring down from heaven! (Revelation 21-22 in New Testament)

Though sadly, the number of these people will be few and far between. For Jesus 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: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it“ (Matthew 7: 13-14)

A good illustration of this is Youtube. Just look at how many “popular videos” there are on Youtube. Then notice how many of these “popular videos” discuss Jesus’s gospel (Jesus’s TRUE GOSPEL, that is!) Very, very few, right?  

On the OTHER hand, all the Youtube videos that DO talk about Jesus? The true, BIBLICAL Jesus? Most get less than 10,000 views (even 5 years after being on there). Why is that, do you think?

Or just think about email forwards. How often do people send email forwards of funny jokes or funny news articles, yet, HESITATE when it comes to sending emails about Jesus Christ or his gospel? Have YOU ever hesitated at sending an email forward to someone concerning Christ’s gospel? I have, in the past! (Much to my shame!)

But see, that’s just how EASY it is to fall into Satan’s trap, folk! We must be VIGILANT in these last days, sharing Jesus’s LIFE-SAVING *JEWISH-ROOTS* GOSPEL of Salvation with everyone or anyone who’ll listen. NOTE: If you get someone who “pesters” you over the gospel or makes “mocking remarks”, ignore them & keep preaching to others who WILL listen to your message! Because believe it or not, all God wants you to do in the mocker’s life is “plant the spiritual seed”, that’s IT! You’re not responsible for THEIR salvation, folks! Especially if they’re a MOCKER of the gospel! So remember that! 

I personally wish I could send a “TRUE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY” flier to every single household here in America! Sadly, many pastors THEMSELVES already KNOW the truth about Constantine and how he changed the Sabbath Day etc. but REFUSE to acknowledge it to their congregations since they still want their funding from the state and since they still want those almighty dollars $$$$$ to be flowing inside their churches! 

Many pastors do sermons where they claim “Satan will never be welcome in THIS CHURCH” (looking around at their congregants for “validation”), but what they don’t know (or DO KNOW but don’t want to admit) is that “Satan” has been in the modern-day “Christian Church” ALL ALONG, ever since Constantine very first gave him a “foot-hold” by changing the Lord’s BIBLICALLY-MANDATED 7th-Day Sabbath to a FALSE, SATANIC, Sun-day worshiping one! That is PRECISELY when Constantine turned “Christianity” into a LIE!

And then, here, you got all these Catholics, all these Lutherans and Protestants that think that “going to church every Sunday” will deem them saved! But oh, how HORRIFIED many of these poor folks will be when they learn THE TRUTH (that Satan was the head and master of the “modern day Christian church” ALL ALONG!)

And oh how HORRIFIED they will be when they LEARN (when they FINALLY LEARN) that the “Jesus Christ” they THOUGHT they were worshiping “at church” was nothing other than Satan himself IN DISGUISE! In fact, the “Jesus Christ” worshiped in churches today is NOT the Jesus Christ of the bible! Repeat: is NOT the Jesus Christ of the bible! Why? Because as a whole, the “JESUS” taught in churches today, here in the year 2016, is a false, Paganized Jesus that seems to “accept” abominable practices such as abortion, homosexuality, divorce, etc. and can’t save a person from their sins! 

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, FOLKS! *IF* YOU END UP IN THE LAKE OF FIRE SOMEDAY, IT WON’T BE BECAUSE I DIDN’T WARN YOU! IT’LL BE BECAUSE YOU DECIDED, IN YOUR OWN FREE WILL, THAT YOU KNEW BETTER THAN GOD/JESUS CHRIST AND THAN THE LORD’S SERVANTS! SO REMEMBER THAT, FOLKS! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strongholds: What’s YOURS?

I’ve most recently come across a most powerful Christian sermon about strongholds.

“Ah”, I thought. “I know what a stronghold is……it’s this dire need to hold onto something……some sin or ‘indulgence’ that a Christian person refuses to give up in their lives”.

Well, that’s only PART of the definition……A stronghold is defined as “a place that has been fortified so as to protect it against attack”. However, there can be GOOD strongholds or BAD strongholds, depending. Therefore, which one do YOU have?

Let us examine. Romans 3:23 says “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”. Translation? Nobody’s perfect. Which means we ALL have our “strongholds” in our lives……those things/sin(s)/people which we’re refusing to give up. And most of the time, we don’t even REALIZE it’s a “stronghold” to begin with!

Examples?

• A love of food or certain kinds of food (especially when it gets to the point of obsession)
• A relationship that doesn’t honor Yeshua/Jesus (e.g., premarital sex, abuse, one person’s not a believer in Jesus, etc.)
• A love of money or material things
• An obsession with sports, music, entertainment, social media, celeb gossip
• A holding on to hurt, resentment, anger and pain
• An obsession with a person, place or thing
• A REFUSAL to lay all your hopes, fears, dreams, resentment, anger, pain, and hate at Jesus’s feet (spiritually speaking)
• A REFUSAL to acknowledge there’s any sort of “problem” in our lives
• A REFUSAL to seek help for any and all “problems” in our lives
• A love of drugs or alcohol
• A love of lust and/or partying
• A REFUSAL to do the Lord’s will
• A REFUSAL to seek reconciliation with someone we’ve wronged or who has wronged US
• A REFUSAL to trust or believe in God/Jesus Christ and/or a REFUSAL to believe in HIS holy words in the bible
• The need for everyone’s approval
• ETC.

And when it comes to GOOD STRONGHOLDS, there is ONLY ONE good stronghold I can think of and that is 100% TRUST IN ALMIGHTY YESHUA/JESUS CHRIST, THE NAME ABOVE ALL OTHER NAMES!

Ofcourse, THAT type of faith is hard to come by. It doesn’t come easy and it sure as HECK doesn’t come overnight. It’s a PROCESS, people. It is a LEARNED faith, bit by bit and little by little.

Do you think Abraham [in the Old Testament] was BORN with the type of faith he had? Granted, there IS such a thing as predestiny, I believe, BUT…….Abraham likely didn’t, for theoretical example, yell up at the sky at 2 years old: “yes Lord, I’ll leave for the promised land TOMORROW!” Obviously, Abraham had to be shaped and molded INTO that faith, INTO that “righteous stronghold” of the Almighty God!

For EVEN Abraham himself apparently had some “unrighteous strongholds”, as we read in Genesis 12 that when there was a famine in the land, Abraham had “unrighteous doubt”/”fear” in his heart when he came near to the land of Egypt with his wife Sarai. Why? Because his wife Sarai was “stunningly beautiful” and Abraham feared that once the Egyptians saw how beautiful Sarai was, that they’d kill him to get to HER. So Abraham told Sarai to tell the Egyptians that she was his “sister”!

And sure enough, as it turned out, the Egyptians were overly generous to Abraham on the count of Sarai. HOWEVER, when the Lord plagued Pharaoh’s household and servants because of Sarai, that’s when Pharaoh realized that he had been “duped” by Abraham and told Abraham to take his wife Sarai and immediately depart Egypt!

This is just ONE example of when an Old Testament prophet displayed an “unrighteous stronghold”. Another example is Moses. When the Lord God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, he was sore afraid. He made all sorts of “excuses”:

“And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee” – Exodus 4:1

“And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue” – Exodus 4:10

 ^“And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send” – Exodus 4:13

Think how YOU would feel if you were needing someone to do something and they kept protesting and making excuses! Pretty irritated, right? So it was with God when Moses kept making excuses (poor Moses, though! That must have been a very hard thing for him to do – face Pharaoh and the people with his implied *speech impediment*! But still……) 

Moses’s excuses/justifications and Abraham’s lack of faith when it came to traveling with his “stunningly beautiful” wife can serve as a message to us ALL. What type of “strongholds” do YOU have (if any) and how do YOU deal with them?

Not sure if this will help anyone out here but here it goes. These are the types of “strongholds” that I myself have been silently suffering from in 2015, not even fully realizing that they WERE “strongholds”, to begin with…..UNTIL the Lord opened up my eyes:

• Food (specifically, certain types of food in the middle of the day that I would “think” about buying the next day, then would buy in bulk the next day, and even then, that STILL wasn’t good enough. I would browse online menus from several different places, trying to decide what food I should buy each time. My cabinets and my refrigerator also became full of food oftentimes, and half the time, a part of the stuff would even go uneaten, until I was forced to throw them out. CRAZY, huh?)
• I seemed to have left my “first love” (spiritually), Almighty Yeshua/Jesus Christ [Revelation 2:4]
• I had somewhat acted out in anger towards certain things at work without stopping to think rationally first about the situation(s)
• I kept trying to tell myself in the back of my mind that that I didn’t really need to read the bible anymore, since I “already knew what’s in there”, while advising others to read theirs all the time (OUCH!)
• I REFUSED to do all the things the Lord told me to do/say in the year 2015, making excuses
• I struggled (and still struggle, somewhat) to keep my apartment clean (& organized)
• I seemed to have a “why me?” attitude many times
• I was seemingly overcome with fear and partial lack of faith (as in, I seemed to be struggling with the constant thought that maybe I wasn’t doing enough for God’s Kingdom, maybe the Lord wouldn’t consider me righteous enough to enter into the gates someday, etc.)
• I obsessed over this guy at work that I couldn’t have (Never dated the guy or anything, just obsessed over him, mostly)
• ETC.

Now, the POINT I wanted to make is that those “admissions” (to ourselves, to God and to others) are very, very personal and hard to make. But ONCE we make them, we’re one step closer to knocking down those castle walls of “unrighteous strongholds”.

“But how do I develop a RIGHTEOUS STRONGHOLD?“, one might ask. Well, first we have to have FAITH. How do we develop faith? The bible says in Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. Translation? Faith comes by hearing the written Word of God in the bible.

“But what about people that read the bible and STILL don’t believe?”, some might ask. My question: why NOT believe? For it takes FAR more faith to believe everything came from nothing than to believe that everything came from something (an Almighty Creator), don’t you think?

[For if you’re right and I’m wrong, I’ve lost nothing. But if I AM right, and YOU’RE wrong, you will have lost EVERYTHING, including your OWN SOUL! Is that an eternal chance you’d be willing to take, folks? I pray not!]

There’s many passages in the bible I like to read when I feel as though my faith is “weak” and they are the following:

“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word” – Matthew 28: 5-8

HE IS RISEN!

“And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day” – Matthew 28: 12-15

[[[[THE “JEWISH COUNCIL” PAYED THE ROMAN SOLDIERS ***LARGE SUMS OF MONEY*** TO LIE AND SAY THAT JESUS’S DISCIPLES STOLE HIS BODY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! However, that brings up several questions:

1. How did they roll away the heavy stone without anyone noticing?
2. Where is the body? All they’d have to do is find a body and no problem.
3. Why would Jesus’s disciples knowingly offer themselves up for torchure and execution/death for something they knew was a lie? Obviously, Jesus’s disciples believed the angel of the Lord with all their hearts, souls and might and that he was resurrected! Cause nobody on the Earth that I know of would be willing to be torchured and die for a LIE, right?
4. If Jesus didn’t truly resurrect, he would’ve been exposed as a fraud and “Christianity”/”Messianic Judaism” would’ve completely died within a day or two. But BECAUSE he resurrected and there were SEVERAL eyewitnesses to the fact (Christian AND non-Christian alike), Jesus’s resurrection has been proven as anything BUT a lie!]]]]

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” – Jeremiah 32:27

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” – Mathew 19:26

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” – Mark 11: 22-24

“Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour” – Matthew 15:28

GOD PARTING THE RED SEA:

“And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians. 

And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore” – [Exodus 14: 21-30 in Old Testament]

THE LIONS DEN:

“Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? 

Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den. 

Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian” – [Daniel 6: 16-28 in Old Testament] 

THE FIERY FURNACE:

“Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, ‘O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up’. Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. 

Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, ‘Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.” [Daniel 3: 8-30 in the Old Testament] 

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” – John 16:33

———————

And that’s just a very small “sliver” of verses I am personally encouraged by. There’s SO many more, but for the sake of time and space, I must limit it to those few. But hopefully you will start to recognize and get rid of any unrighteous strongholds in your life. And as evidenced up above, even I myself (of all people) am not immune from having unrighteous strongholds from time to time.

Romans 3:23 expressedly states that we’re all sinners, who’ve fallen short of the glory of God! But when Almighty Yeshua/Jesus died on the cross for us, he died on the cross so that WE can be forgiven of our sins. But we have to ASK for that forgiveness and REPENT of sins in order to fully RECEIVE that forgiveness, folks! Jesus doesn’t extend his forgiveness to people who don’t want it. In other words, Jesus doesn’t FORCE salvation upon ANYONE…….he only graciously gives salvation to those who TRULY seek it. 

But in fact, imagine lava flowing down from a volcano. Imagine how HOT it is……visually focus on the mental imagery of the “lake of fire” pouring down out of the volcano. And then imagine being thrown alive into such a place……FOR ETERNITY! THAT is what Jesus died on the cross to protect us from, folks! (God’s Eternal Judgement). Who in their right mind, after knowing the FULL realities of hell and/or lake of fire would want to go there? Honestly? It boggles the mind, folks! 

On the other hand, read Revelation in the New Testament, chapters 21 and 22 to get a FULL PICTURE of what living in “God’s Paradise” is like. Who in their right mind, after reading that BEAUTIFULLY, HEAVENLY description wouldn’t want to go there? It boggles the mind, folks! It boggles the mind! And never ceases to amaze me! 

I oftentimes pray for my family, my coworkers and all my blog readers. But it’s very rare that I ask others to pray for ME. I guess it’s a pride thing. It’s hard for me to ask for help and to ADMIT to Almighty God and to others what my “unrighteous strongholds” are. But now that I HAVE admitted them to Yeshua/Jesus AND to you, please pray for me, folks! Please pray in the name of the Lord that I will be able to overcome the unrighteous strongholds that tried to take me down in 2015 and are still attempting to grab ahold of my spiritual ankle (sort’ve speak) in 2016! I need your prayers!

Thanks so much for reading and again, may Almighty Yeshua/Jesus bless you ALL in these last days! 😉 

 

 

 

 

So You “Think” You’re Saved…….ARE YOU?

At the very end of the New Testament, The book of REVELATION, CHAPTERS 21-22, gives people a VERY clear picture of what “Eternal Paradise/Heaven/New Millennial Kingdom” will look like.

But MANY PEOPLE, either knowingly or UNKNOWINGLY, don’t seem to be aware of the fact that VERY FEW PEOPLE will make it there. VERY FEW! In fact, today’s society says that “everyone goes to heaven”……

But folks, if THAT were true, Jesus himself wouldn’t have said in Matthew 7: 21-23 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity“. 

In other words, on the day of Judgement, MANY PEOPLE are going to be ETERNALLY SHUNNED BY JESUS and thrown into everlasting fire. But right before they’re thrown into the flames, those people are more or less gonna be like, “What???!!!! I don’t get it! I never killed anyone! I went to church every week! I believed in heaven! I thought EVERYONE went to heaven! Please give me a 2nd chance, Lord! I didn’t know!” But AS the bible states, Jesus CAN NOT and WILL NOT give those people a 2nd chance! For by then, it’ll be too late for all those people! FOR ETERNITY!

The problem with many Christians (and even non-Christians) today is that they don’t truly READ the bible, front to back, so they don’t even know what’s truly in there. They just blindly trust whatever the pastor says, whatever some preacher on TV says, whatever their friend/family member/coworker says…….they don’t ever bother looking it up for themselves, alot of the times, and just make base assumptions on what they THINK the bible preaches! And oftentimes, what they THINK the bible preaches? The bible actually preaches just the OPPOSITE!

For example: Gay marriage. You won’t find a single page in ALL the bible that “condones” such behavior! On the OTHER hand, you WILL find about 28+ passages which CONDEMN that sort of “behavior” and that even call it AN ABOMINATION!

Another example: Many in today’s society will say “We don’t NEED to repent of our sins since Jesus ALREADY died for our sins!” And many people THINK that’s what the bible truly teaches. However, the bible TRULY teaches the OPPOSITE:

“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: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto LIFE, and FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT“  – [Matthew 7:13-14]

But not only THAT, Jesus/Yeshua goes EVEN FURTHER in Luke 12:32 [New Testament] when he says, “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”. LITTLE FLOCK. LITTLE. He did NOT say “big flock”. He said “little flock” and “little flock” FOR A REASON, FOLKS!

The REASON is that VERY FEW people will TRULY desire to follow Christ in the last days (which we’re currently living in!) Why? Because they’re following Jesus in NAME only, and NOT in deed and action! They go to church every week, but forget Jesus the rest of the week. They listen to a sermon or read a blog post here and there, but haven’t picked up their bible in quite some time! They call themselves “Christian” but then turn around and support ABOMINABLE practices such as homosexuality/homosexual “rights”, divorce, premarital sex, abortion, etc.

Truth be told……SADLY……there’s many, many, MANY Christians out there today as a whole (and even some non-Christians, even) who “think” they’re Saved/will be Saved but are NOT truly saved…….

Remember the Pharisees and Sadducees in Jesus’s time? They thought they were living SO righteous, SO holy…by strictly following Jewish “law” for they thought the “law” would make them righteous…..

But what they didn’t realize is that their “Messiah” (Yeshua/Jesus Christ) was STANDING RIGHT BEFORE THEM and they acknowledged him not! In other words, they thought (in their own minds) that they were “mightier than God” since Jesus was “God in the flesh”.

However, in Isaiah 55:8-9, the Lord is recorded as saying: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”. 

Isaiah 64:6 further goes on to say, “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away”.

HERE, this guy says it best at around the 4:50 mark and beyond

To be “Saved” by Yeshua/Jesus Christ is a BEAUTIFUL and WONDERFUL thing! However, it must be a TRUE heart-felt thing! In other words, we must obey Christ, not just out of sheer obligation, but because we WANT to and because we KNOW what HE, Christ, did for us during his crucifixion/resurrection/ascension back up to heaven to be on the right hand-hand throne of God, the Heavenly Father! (AND because HE, Christ, knows what’s best for us! He really, truly DOES folks, MARK MY WORDS!) 

Jesus is recorded as saying in John 14:15, “If you love me, keep my commandments”. In other words, in the Lord Jesus’s eyes, those who TRULY love him as Lord & Savior will OBEY HIM! Not just PARTIALLY (following only PARTS of the bible) but FULLY (following the ENTIRE bible, front to back!) And those who DON’T love him will NOT truly obey him or what he says in the bible! It’s THAT simple, folks!

So I leave you with this question: So you think you’re “Saved”…….but ARE YOU?

If Jesus Christ were to return to the Earth today, would He be pleased by how you’re living? Would he find you observing the 7th-day BIBLICAL Saturday Sabbath? Would he find you celebrating the BIBLICAL HOLIDAYS (Passover, Tabernacles, etc.?) Would he find you FORSAKING all things “Pagan” (Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.?)

Would he find you loving your neighbor as yourself and giving to those less fortunate than you? Would he find you TRUSTING in and PRAISING HIM, CONSTANTLY? Would he find you to be of TRUE FAITH (not only in HIM but in his WORDS in the bible?) Would he find you standing up FOR his gospel and PREACHING HIS GOSPEL TO ALL NATIONS? In WHAT spiritual condition would he find you?

Matthew 6:21 expressedly states, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”.

In other words, the thing/s you treasure in life, is where you heart is, also! In other words, if you LOVE food, that’s where your heart is…….on food and NOT on Jesus/God Almighty! If you LOVE music/movies/TV shows/celebrities/alcohol/weed/partying, that’s where your heart “truly is”, NOT on the things of God!

Many, many Christians out there THINK they’re going to “heaven”…..THINK they’re living a “righteous and holy life”, THINK that there’s no way that Jesus could ever condemn THEM……..Yet sadly, many of these so-called “Christians” will end up in ETERNAL FLAMES because they are LUKEWARM and don’t TRULY love and OBEY Jesus the way they “claim”……..

Many Christians out there as well, aren’t full-water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (even though the bible specifically commands us to do that in 7+ passages as a further act of obedience to HIM, Almighty God!) It is the “ceremonial washing away of sin”, the public declaration of faith, the receiving of the gift of the Holy Spirit (which is the spirit of truth/spiritual discernment), etc.

Revelation 7:3 says, “Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads”. Now, is that talking about full-water immersion baptism? Only the Lord himself could say. Still….the matter remains…….only a very few SELECT FEW will get to experience the full eternal peace of beauty of Revelation, Chapters 21-22, in the New Testament.

Go ahead. Read it. Both Chapters. Revelation 21-22, at the very end of the New Testament. And then try to tell me you don’t want to be there, someday. I bet you can’t.

IF you want that to be your eternity reality someday, than don’t just BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, OBEY HIM! OBEY HIM **FULLY**! [And believe me folks, that goes JUST AS MUCH for me as it does for all of YOU!]

Stop making excuses, people! Stop saying to yourselves, “But I’m tired! I don’t WANT to read the bible right now! I’ll NEVER be good enough to make it to the New Millennial Kingdom! Who cares, anyways? Hardly ANYONE’ll be considered worthy enough to go there anyways, so why even try! Everyone goes to heaven, who cares who’s righteous or not! Jesus will accept me, rather I’m gay or not!”

Just stop it with the excuses, folks! Stop it right now! “Check yourself before you wreck yourself”, as one Christian on Youtube has once said a time or more. Is all that “sin” in your lives worth it? Is 5 minutes of pleasure worth AN ETERNITY IN FLAMES?

Only Jesus Christ/Yeshua himself will be able to determine rather you’re truly “Saved” in his great, heavenly name or not, on the Day of Judgement. But until then, HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE HIM, REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS, AND CRY OUT TO HIM TO SAVE YOU AND HE WILL SAVE YOU! MARK MY WORDS!

Don’t live a life without Christ, folks! It’s not worth it! 5 minutes of pleasure is NOT worth an eternity in FLAMES! And a life without Christ at the head/center is not a life worth living! For what IS life without Christ? Answer: NOTHING! Why? Because Jesus Christ/God in the flesh is the author and CREATOR of all life! He is LIFE ETERNAL and the GRANTER of everlasting life!

He created the universe and the heavens! Therefore, doesn’t it stand to reason that if he created the universe and the heavens, and can count the number of hairs on your head and has the keys to hell and death, that it would pay to SERVE HIM? Why serve Satan/pleasure, the father of all lies, the being/things that will take you straight to hell/eternal destruction in the flames? 

On the Day of Judgement, Jesus will likely ask people if all their “unrepentant sin” was worth it. What will most people say? What will YOU say, on that fateful day? 

The choice is up to YOU, folks! But don’t EVER say I never warned you! 

Christians Who Don’t Approve of Homosexuality/Abortion: Are They Hateful?

We live in a world and society today where “sin” (in and of itself) has become “CUDDLY” [i.e. think of the movies “Ted”, “Bad Grandpa”, etc.] and where homosexuality/abortion has become “the norm”.

And anyone that doesn’t agree with such behaviors is labeled a racist, “religious bigot”, fear-monger, hater, etc.

But you want to know what the sad thing is? All the non-believers, open homosexuals, abortion proponents and believers of other religions (other than biblical-roots Christianity) will someday stand before the Judgement Seat of Jesus Christ Almighty. And it WON’T be a “laughing matter”, THEN…..

And it’s then and ONLY then when these poor folks will come to realize just how LOVING the biblical-roots Christians were IN warning them about their “sin(s)” and how their sin(s) would eternally separate them from Jesus Christ someday and send them INTO the ETERNAL FLAMES! And it’s then and only then when they will DESPERATELY WISH they had listened to all the warnings of the biblical-roots Christians while they had still been alive on Earth! But by then, it will be TOO LATE! Their fate will be sealed FOR ETERNITY! ;(

What is love? Most people would define love as “emotional and physical attachment between two persons”.

But Jesus Christ’s love for us goes BEYOND THAT! John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life”.

So what does that MEAN in plain English, some might wonder? It means that God the Heavenly Father loved US (humanity) SO much that he sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and also that Jesus Christ HIMSELF loved humanity SO MUCH that he was willing to be persecuted, mocked, laughed at, spit on, beaten, flogged, ridiculed, crowned with a crown of thorns, pierced in his side, and to die a slow, EXCRUCIATING death just so that WE (humanity) could be given a chance for ETERNAL SALVATION. And there’s NO greater love than that, people! NOT IN ALL THE UNIVERSE!

If one saw their neighbor’s house was on fire with their neighbor(s) IN it, most people aren’t just gonna stand by and let their neighbor(s) burn to death, am I right? Most people would pitch in, throw huge buckets of water at the flame, yell at their neighbor(s) to get out of the house while also calling 911, or whatever other heroic thing they could thank of to save their neighbor(s). That’s a genuine love for our fellow human being(s), a desire for their well-being. For what kind of neighbor would we be if we just idly sat by and WATCHED our neighbor’s house burn down to the ground, with our own neighbor(s) inside, because hey, our neighbor(s) actually LIKED being on fire/burning [metaphorically speaking?]

So it is with biblical-roots Christians. We KNOW the realities of hell and that it’s “not just some fairytale”. [On the other hand, we DO KNOW that the *theory* of Evolution is “just some fairtytale!” Where’s all those millions of inter-generational fossils, folks? That’s right….non-existent. Zilch!] And the one “missing link” they CLAIMED they found later turned out to be FAKE (Ida – the skeleton of a mere LEMUR).

And the truth is, they have NEVER, have NOT, or will EVER find “the missing link”, because it DOES NOT EXIST, folks, I repeat: DOES.NOT.EXIST. We’re all a product of Intelligent Design, hands down. There’s evidence of this all throughout DNA and nature. What more evidence do you need, folks? Seriously? Do you REALLY honestly believe that ALL of complex life came from a fish or SINGLE bacterium or “by mere chance”?

Think about that for awhile……REALLY, TRULY think about it and how crazy that sounds when you begin to realize just HOW complex DNA is……It has its own Taxi cells, doctor cells, mortician cells, teacher cells, repair-man cells, etc. Plus how does IT know what proteins to bind with and when? How to shut itself ON, PAUSE itself and/or turn itself OFF? How is it ABLE to “call up” helper cells in immune fights?

Also think about OUR PDA intercom system in a grocery store, for instance: “Rob, to aisle 1, Rob to aisle 1”. How are CELLS able to do that? Certainly they must have SOME form communication between themselves. How do THEY (the cells) know where they’re supposed to go and what type of organ they’re supposed to become? Do you think that all just happens by MERE CHANCE? And furthermore, do you think a single-celled bacterium or fish just MAGICALLY sprouted out into COMPLEX FORMS OF LIFE BY MERE CHANCE? Lets get real here, folks! It takes FAR more faith to believe we all sprouted from NOTHING than to believe that we were all created by God’s divine hand! 

We KNOW hell is real, just like we KNOW Jesus Christ and the kingdom of heaven are real. So what type of biblical-roots Christians would we be if we just said to ourselves “oh well, let the open homosexuals, nonbelievers, believers in other religions and abortionists burn in eternal flame, who are WE to criticize their sin(s)?” Turning a blind eye to one’s mortal/perpetual sin isn’t LOVING them…….it’s actually DIS-LOVING THEM, if you really think about it.

Many open homosexuals and abortionists will oftentimes say: “Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Matthew 7:1). And while it’s true we’re not supposed to judge them, the bible tell DOES tell us to WARN THEM about their sin(s)!

“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul” – Ezekiel 3: 18-19

People call the bible “hate”, that hate the the truth. Let me put that in a different way. Those that HATE the truth HATE the bible. Why? Because it pierces through the soul — it’s a double, two-edge sword! We humanoids HATE to admit our wrongs and our sins! Why? Because we like to feel good about ourselves! We like to think that we’re so great, that humankind is so great, that sexuality is so great, that everything is so great, great, great!

Admitting to Almighty God/Jesus Christ that we’re sinners takes our OWN power away and gives it to Almighty God. And alot of people feel really uncomfortable with that. They’re not ready to give their lives over to Almighty God/Jesus Christ because they like being “in control” of their own lives. But let me tell you something: they’re NOT truly “in control” of their own lives…..Satan is! In fact, one of the BEST KEPT secrets in today’s world is the fact that Satan DOES exist, as an actual REAL entity!

Look at Hollywood (the Illuminati playground). Why do actors and actresses have to sign their name in blood in a contract with the Devil/Satan in order to be rich and famous? Certainly they wouldn’t have to do that if Satan “didn’t exist”, right? Don’t believe me? Examine the evidence!

So it stands to reason, then. If the Devil/Satan exists, then SURELY God/Jesus Christ exists (and I assure you with 100% certainty beyond ALL reasonable doubt that he DOES exist — I’ve seen him face to face during a N.D.E.!) So if God/Jesus Christ exists, that means his JUDGEMENT exists, and if his DIVINE JUDGEMENT exists, then heaven and hell exist and if heaven and hell exist, then people better start submitting to Jesus Christ Almighty before it’s too late for them and their souls are LOST FOR ETERNITY! ;(

I guess that’s one thing I never really understood about Satanists/people who sell their souls to the Devil, for whatever reason. For, if Satan exists (and I assure you 100% that he DOES), that means for 100% certainty that God/Jesus Christ exists. Therefore, why would they KNOWINGLY turn their backs on Jesus Christ Almighty when Jesus Christ Almighty is the ONLY way to Eternal Salvation, is the ONLY way out of eternal flames, and is the ONLY way to Eternal Paradise/New Jerusalem?

[Note: the city of New Jerusalem is the heavenly city which Almighty God/Jesus Christ will bring down from heaven during the time of the 1,000 year millennial reign of Christ. We read about this in the book of Revelation in the New Testament, chapter 21-22]. 

As a biblical-roots Christian, I would much rather have open homosexuals, Satanists, nonbelievers, believers of other religions/etc. mad at me NOW and possibly brought to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ LATER, than to have them HAPPY/IN GOOD with me NOW, but mad at me later when they find themselves at the ETERNAL LOSING END of God’s Wrath/Eternal Judgement someday! Think about it, folks!

And for the record, biblical-roots Christians that don’t approve of homosexuality, Islam, Catholicism, Mormonism, and/or abortion/Planned Parenthood/etc. are NOT *hateful*, they are WISE! For NONE of those things will bring a person into the heavenly city of “New Jerusalem” someday!

Not to mention ALL of those things are emotionally, physically, mentally, *psychologically* and spiritually damaging to the person who practices them! Therefore, attempting to help set a person FREE from those things in the name of Almighty Yeshua/Jesus Christ is NOT HATE but LOVE! Anyone/anything that says otherwise (Satan/popular culture/etc.) is either lying or trying to sell you something! MARK MY WORDS!

A Spiritual Letter To Mankind

“Dear Mankind (specifically Jews and Christians), I am grieved at the lack of spiritual wisdom I see in the world today. It grieves my spirit GREATLY that the Lord’s most holy, consecrated day of the week (the 7th day Sabbath) was changed from Saturday to Sunday by the Catholic Church/Council of Nicea and that all “Christian churches” have pretty much followed suit! What blasphemy! For who gave MORTAL MAN the right to change HIS laws and heavenly decrees?

People look up at the Catholic Church today as though she were some type of  “god” by her own virtue (I kid you not!) Even NON-Catholics are often heard talking about “the Catholic contributions to history, the *Catholic contribution* to the spreading of the bible, etc.” It makes my spiritual blood BOIL!

For if mankind knew the TRUE history of the Catholic Church and that the Catholic Church has quite honestly persecuted and killed more true, biblical-based Christians than any other people or religion COMBINED, they’d RUN, not walk away from it! Even Hitler himself had ties to the Vatican, apparently. And they both (as a like-minded vicious animal) had ONE thing in common: they hated what they thought were God’s people! 

I am much saddened, grieved and disgusted from the depths of my spirit, about all the foul and evil things I see going on today, in the world. People killing each other over “Slender Man” (Satan), people attending the Burning Man festival, somehow thinking that IT will give them spiritual enlightenment, instead of Jesus Christ (who died for their sins!) Dressing innocent little girls in stripper-like garb and having them DANCE like hookers on stage during a LIVE dance competition…….

The total nudity I see in the humans’ mass media today (TV, movies, books, magazines, advertisements, etc)…..The TV shows “Toddlers & Tiaras”, “The Whispers” and “Dancing Moms”, which makes my spirit cry BITTER, BITTER TEARS OF ANGUISH! The rampant rate of homosexuality and homosexual “promotion” amongst the human populace. The “Christians” who “think they know” what the bible says or doesn’t say about baptism, the Sabbath, gay marriage, etc.

The many famous people and celebrities (who’ve no doubt been given a “platform” to speak about Jesus Christ/the gospel of Salvation if they so desire), deciding instead to promote Satanism/New Age philosophy, such as the “there’s many paths to God” movement!

Almighty Yeshua/Jesus GAVE mankind the testimony OF his divine words/works in the bible so THAT mankind would come to learn about HIM, what HE’S done, and what HE’S going to do or not do for mankind, someday. If one TRULY wants to know HIM, he recorded himself in the bible through his prophets/apostles.

There is NO mistake and NO question about who and WHAT he really IS (the living and everlasting God, the creator of all mankind!) And there should also be NO room for debate: HE, Jesus Christ ALONE, is the way, the truth and the light. Nobody [and I do mean, NOBODY…..] comes to the Father [receives Salvation/Eternal Life], but by HIM and HIM, ALONE! Why is that so hard for people to understand?

It’s like people are WANTING and TRYING to dance around the Lord’s words in the bible, as IF they can somehow MAGICALLY change them, by force of sheer will! HA! He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. Jesus/Yeshua has said in John 8:58 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am”. In other words, He hails from everlasting.

Translation: He was with the Heavenly Father from the very beginning, long before creation of the Earth was ever made! And he was certain to MAKE SURE that the bible stated VERY CLEARLY in Genesis that HE created the world/creation in 6 days and that HE rested ON THE 7TH DAY!

But it’s funny how the Catholic Church came along, at its inception, and said: “no wait, a minute…..the Sabbath should be SUN-DAY, NOT on the “Jewish Saturday”! Lets change it!” Who or what gave mortal man the right to change HIS heavenly laws and decrees? Did the founder of the Catholic Church create all things and all people? Didn’t think so. Is the founder of the Catholic Church everlasting? Didn’t think so.

And CAN the founder of the Catholic Church create mortal man out of scratch? Again, didn’t think so. Therefore, by way of divine and deductive reasoning, mortal man (a CREATED BEING), has no right to change the laws or decrees of the HEAVENLY CREATOR (who created and made ALL things)!!!!

Ah but isn’t that SATAN’S argument, too? “I want things done MY way, for MY way is better!” Is it, now? With all the murders, rapes, sodomy, torchure, wars, betrayals, lasciviousness going on in the world today, I think both you AND I would agree that Satan’s “ways” are no good and have only managed to DESTROY MANKIND FROM WITHIN! He’s pretty much like the whiny little brat that REFUSES to obey the creator.

His first sin was ungratefulness for what he had and what he’d been heavenly bestowed with. His second sin was pride and his third sin was rebellion DUE to that pride. And he repented not. So a heavenly decree of eternal condemnation was placed upon him, for it was the only way. Even in the flames, he shall not repent of his deeds. The eternal flames will only manage to harden his heart against the creator EVEN MORE. Which is why, once he’s placed in the flames, he’ll never be able to come out of them.

Sometimes I silently ponder within the depths of my spirit what would’ve happened had Satan NOT rebelled against him, NOT been full of pride and NOT been so ungrateful. For he was absolutely perfect before “blemish” was found in him. But what’s done is done. There’s no going back, now. The Lord Yeshua/Jesus can’t undo what he SAYS he will do, otherwise he wouldn’t be God. He is truth eternal. And what he says will happen, happens. HE SPOKE the very universe into existence with just the mere sound of his voice! HA! What other being in creation (Satan included) can make that claim?

And while I’m highly grieved and righteously ANGERED at the current state of man, I am especially in disbelief towards the current attitude of many lukewarm Christians and by Jews who openly mock Yeshua/Jesus Christ in public as though they’re “trying to win a prize”, of sorts. There’s over 333+ Messianic Prophecies in the Old Testament that talked of a “coming Jewish Messiah” that HE HIMSELF, YESHUA/JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY, fulfilled in the New Testament!

And sometimes it makes me wonder. Do some of the modern-day “mockers” of Yeshua/Jesus think they’re “being cool” or “funny” when they openly deny him like that? For UNLESS they soon repent of “such deeds” and “get right with the Lord Jesus Christ”, on the day of Judgement, they will receive their “due reward” [eternal punishment in the lake of fire]. And if you think that makes Jesus Christ happy, think again! For he is greatly pained whenever he’s forced to send an unrepentant/unbelieving soul there!  

And then you have all the “mockers” out there (in general) who are trying to “fit in” and “be cool” and “get lots of Youtube views”, etc. ~Sigh~ ;( 

And for those of you Jews out there who secretly “ponder” amongst yourselves rather or not HE, Yeshua/Jesus, is the one and only true Jewish Messiah? SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES! Old AND New Testaments and you will find HIM there! The bible, in and of itself, wasn’t “tampered with”, as some try to claim (atleast not the Authorized King James Version, anyways). All MODERN translations of the bible (NIV, NSB, ESL, etc.) HAVE been tampered with, MARK MY WORDS!

Yeshua/Jesus says in Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened”. 

If you, a modern day Jew, TRULY want to discover your one and only true Messiah (whom was/is/will ALWAYS be YESHUA/JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY), SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES! OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT, KING JAMES VERSION, FOR THE KING JAMES SCRIPTURES DON’T LIE!

But for those of you Jews who KNOW that He is the one and true Jewish Messiah AND that CONTINUE to deny HIM, you’re the exact epitome and living realization of Revelation 2:9b in the New Testament: “I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan“.

From the onset, you might think I’m angrily condemning you but I’m actually WARNING YOU, because I love you and I want you to see the truth, that HE, YESHUA/JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY:

a). IS your one and true prophesied Jewish Messiah

b). IS the only way to Salvation/Forgiveness of Sin and Eternal Life

c). DOES hate and abhor when modern day Jews, etc. mock HIM without ever truly knowing HIM

d). IS the everlasting God, born into human flesh by means of a virgin birth

e). WAS resurrected from the dead AND ascended back up to be on the right-hand throne of God, the Heavenly Father

f). DOES have the keys to hell & death

However, He can’t eternally redeem you, if you won’t let Him! And the same goes for all you wayward/lukewarm Christians out there. You seem to think that your “good deeds” and “good works” will somehow earn your way into heaven and get you closer to HIM. But I tell you the truth: NO MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD can truly get close to Yeshua/Jesus UNLESS they fully submit themselves to Him and one can’t fully submit themselves to Him UNLESS they believe in HIM, trust HIM and OBEY HIM!

It’s the obeying and trusting part that most people start to slip up on. Some find His biblical “decrees” *burdensome* but they are forgetting ONE thing: He is God Almighty in the flesh, the Alpha & Omega! He can count the number of hairs on a person’s head! He knows what’s best for each individual person!

He hates all sin, not only because it’s displeasing in his site and a sign of major “malfunction” in people (as it draws them FARTHER AWAY from HIM, instead of spiritually CLOSER to HIM) but because of what it DOES to people (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually).

He hates divorce and what it does to families. He abhors adultery and/or abuse and what it does to families. He hates abortion and what it does to the woman and to families. He hates gay marriage/gay adoption/homosexuality and how it attempts to DESTROY the traditional family [For remember that traditional marriage/family was made in HIS own image!] He despises greed and what it does to the condition of mankind, in and of itself.

He hates lies (such as when a businessman does “crooked business” by stealing people’s well-intentioned retirement and/or college funds by Ponzi schemes, for example). He hates sodomy and what it does to victims of it. He hates murder and the pain it causes people. He hates it when people are jealous of what others have and then hate that person/those people for it; jealously destroys a person physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY, see?

He hates it when people bow down to idols/false gods and graven images, for the idols/false gods and graven images didn’t create them, HE DID! Nor can any of the idols/false gods or graven images save them, but HE CAN! Nor do any of the idols/false gods and graven images contain any eternal truth in them but HE IS TRUTH ETERNAL! HE IS EVERLASTING!

Neither Buddha or Brahma/Krishna, or Joseph Smith or Muhammad or the Virgin Mary or Satan or Shintoism/Paganism is going to save you from your sins! But Yeshua/Jesus and Yeshua/Jesus alone, is the ONLY way to Salvation, the ONLY way for one to be forgiven of sins and the ONLY way to Eternal Life!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, He could come to Earth Himself right now this very moment (and He will INDEED come back to the Earth someday at a future date, as the bible states) and preach to mankind about Salvation and His own eternal kingdom until he were blue in the face and there would STILL be those people out there who would be ever-so-determined to REJECT HIM (for whatever reason!)

Why, I ask? WHY? What has He DONE to you that’s SO terrible that you would eternally reject Him, worship other gods and end up sending YOURSELF to the eternal flames of torment? What? His dying for your sins wasn’t good enough for you? He “cramps your style” too much?

What is it? What has He EVER done in your life besides create you in your mother’s womb, develop an overall plan for your life and then perform miracles in your life? Can you honestly say there was not ONE single miracle in your life? Not even one? Think about it, now. Think long and hard. For if you were to be totally honest with yourself, you KNOW there’s been miracles in your life.

And where do you think those miracles came from? Satan? If you think THAT, you’re VERY SADLY MISTAKEN, as HIS only goal for mankind is to SEEK, KILL AND DESTROY, as the bible clearly states. However, JESUS’S only goal for mankind is to save, redeem, and preserve AS MANY AS POSSIBLE, as many that will adhere to HIM and His divine words in the bible.

You can choose to reject the Lord if you want to, that is your own choice and He can’t force myself upon ANYONE, that much is true. But PLEASE study the scriptures! And please learn the TRUTH (not only about HIM and who HE is and what HE has done for all of mankind) but also about Satan and all other “false religious systems” before you come crashing down your “ax of misunderstanding and hate” upon Him!

And please know that He loves you and that He knew you in the womb from before the time you were born! You are very, very precious in His site (all of His creation) and He doesn’t want to lose you! O how He likely wishes He could protectively gather all of you under HIS great, gentle and mighty heavenly hands, but most of you are not willing. What am I or He to do? ;(

Some of you falsely believe that He somehow “delights” in sending souls to eternal condemnation in the fire. But truthfully: do you think any “parent” out there truly rejoices at the thought/action of permanently sending their *perpetually disobedient/eternally unrepentant* kid away? Ofcourse not. So it is with HIM and His creation. It is with MUCH regret, MUCH pain and MUCH sadness that HE is forced to allow perpetually unrepentant souls to be sent to the eternal flames!

On the other hand, it is with MUCH joy and with MUCH rejoicing when He is able to PARDON an eternally obedient/repentant soul of all their sins and welcome them into Eternal Paradise – into His open heavenly arms in a warm/spiritual/eternal embrace! THAT is what gives HIM joy and delight! Notice the difference, here? All His obedient children are His pride and His joy! 😉

I think that many of you are sadly mistaken into thinking that “hell’s not gonna be that bad”, that it’s somehow gonna be “one big party”, etc.etc. Well, let me tell you something! Hell is NO party! It’s not even a BEARABLE experience for those forced to suffer in it! There is WEEPING and GNASHING of teeth! CONSTANT cries of pain and torchure! Souls wishing for death but death FLEEING from them……..

Having unbearable thirst but not being able to drink one single DROP of water! Feeling unbearable hunger but not being able to eat a single BITE of food! DESPERATELY desiring human and/or heavenly companionship and yet, having NONE! The TORTUROUS sensation of FEELING oneself being BURNED ALIVE FOR ETERNITY! Does THAT sound like any type of “party” to YOU? ;(

However, the experience that the saints/heavenly children will have is quite DIFFERENT. He shall wipe every tear from their eyes. They shall never thirst or be hungry for He shall give them the living waters of life and the 12 fruits of the seasons. There will be much rejoicing and singing and dancing and worshiping of His great heavenly name. There shall no night, only daytime……..

Neither shall the gates of the heavenly city of New Jerusalem ever be closed. Only the saints/heavenly children will be allowed INSIDE the gates of the city, as He can’t let any unclean spiritual thing enter into His new heavenly city. And His saints/heavenly children shall be with Him forever. He shall be their God and they shall be His people! 😉

For all you scoffers and “haters” out there and followers of other religions, I want you to READ Revelation, chapters 21-22, at the end of the New Testament. READ IT. Visualize it. Picture it. And then try to tell me that’s not something you’d personally want in your life. Nearly every human on this planet (if they’re honest with themselves) secretly dreams about what it would be like to never have to feel pain or have a “sad day” or “sad moment” ever, EVER again!

But here’s the thing: that “dream” can become a person’s REALITY! An ETERNAL REALITY! All they have to do is submit to Yeshua/Jesus Christ and accept HIM as their Lord & Savior! It’s THAT simple! And yet, for some people, it seems like the most hardest thing for them to do and I’m not sure why.

What is so TERRIFYING about God, the Heavenly Father loving mankind SO MUCH, that he sent his only begotten Son [Yeshua/Jesus Christ] to die for THEIR sins so that THEY could be made spiritually clean in the Father’s site, so that THEY could be forgiven for all their sins and so that THEY could freely obtain ETERNAL LIFE?

It’s almost like someone coming along and giving someone a really nice, expensive gift wrapped in beautiful golden wrapping paper with a note attached to it that said “FREE, for all who wish to accept its contents of eternal life and forgiveness of sins” and then being too “terrified” or “put off” of opening that gift and receiving that gift. WHY BE TERRIFIED? AND WHY BE PUT OFF? There is no need to fear! Just like there’s no need to be put off by HIS sacrifice for mankind! It’s NOT a trick or a gimmick! It’s REAL! Salvation through Yeshua/Jesus is GENUINE, not a call from a local sales person trying to sell you a magazine over the phone!

But I think alot of humans out there think that the message of Salvation is just “too good to be true”. They reason within themselves that “all religions promise things……how can I know that true, biblical-roots Christianity’s promise is TRUE?” Well, I’ll TELL you how you can know it’s true: FULFILLED BIBLE PROPHECY, 100% of the time! No other religion ON EARTH can make that claim! NONE! It’s how Yeshua/Jesus proves that He is who He says HE IS, and that the bible is what it says IT is: a 100% written testimony of the Word of God and the Word of God is Yeshua/Jesus, and Yeshua/Jesus, ALONE! 

Over 333+ Messianic Prophecies in the Old Testament were fulfilled in HIM “to the LETTER” during the New Testament! And did you know that the statistical chances of even just ONE being fulfilling all of those, simultaneously, is BEYOND, BEYOND, BEYOND, BEYOND ASTRONOMICAL (1 in about infinity zeros chance?) In other words, there’s NO margin for error, there! He is who he says HE is and the bible is what it says IT is!

But what really gets me is those “experts” who “proclaim” Evolution! HA! They KNOW full-well the “science” behind it is….AHEM…..quite….LACKING, should I say….with absolutely ZERO “inter-generational fossils” and the only one being “found” being proven to be a FAKE…..AAAHHHHEEMMMMM…….

BUT they still want to grasp for straws, trying EVER-SO-DESPERATELY to stamp Him out and stamp out creation and intelligent design because publicly admitting they were/are wrong would not only create a HUGE PR nightmare for them but would FORCE them to admit that yes, like every other human on this planet, THEY are a “sinner” in need of Salvation! Wouldn’t THAT just rock the 6 o’clock news? “Expert in Evolution finally admits they were wrong, that there IS evidence pointing towards intelligent design”.

HA! The Luciferian establishment & Luciferian-owned media would try to shut them down faster than the speed the light, MARK MY WORDS! When you read the news headlines these days about “so and so died after a long battle with cancer” (classic example), BE FOREWARNED! Certain people are being selected and then silenced! But the public is told a DIFFERENT story! They keep the true story under wraps by threatening surviving friends/family members if they ever told the truth that the death of their loved one seemed “suspicious”.

In fact, that brings me to my next point. There are VILE, VILE things going on in Hollywood today. Everything you THOUGHT you knew about “celebrities” and “fame”? Please throw that all out of the window for a minute and listen to me. LISTEN TO ME. Hollywood is NOT what you think it is. For many souls in Tinseltown (Hollywood) [not ALL – but MOST] have in some way, shape or form sold their soul to the devil for fortunes and fame.

And what’s sad is that these poor folks were BROKEN to begin with and falsely believe(d) that Satan will/would give them everything they ever hoped for! Their contrite and broken spirits is what originally DREW them to Hollywood/fame to begin with! They think to themselves “if only I were famous, I could be rich and if I was rich, I could solve all my problems”.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” – Mark 8:36

Little do they know that as soon as they “sign off” on the deal, sort’ve speak, they’re not their own anymore, they’re a puppet that has to do THEIR bidding (rather they want to or not) and there’s NO WAY OUT (save for the Luciferian establishment taking that person’s very LIFE, then claiming a “different” reason to the general public). So many of them become depressed, despondent and sometimes try to take their own lives.

They’re so desperately trying to get AWAY from it once they truly realize it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. But the media, in tune with Satan, will then blast this person by this or that, either by falsely accusing them of things or the like. Basically, a smear campaign. Okay, now I’m getting WAY, WAY too political with this and I apologize. But the main point I wanted to make is that Hollywood doesn’t solve their problems……it INCREASES them by making these people more broken than they were before.

However, for all those “celebrities” out there that VERY TRULY want a way OUT (of the Luciferian-run establishment, that is), HE [Yeshua/Jesus Christ] can GIVE them a way out. But they must REPENT of all their sins and ADHERE to HIM and HIM, ONLY (Jesus Christ Almighty) for the REST of their days (however many days on this Earth they have left).

Plus they must make their “testimony” of Him and His great heavenly name known to the world! And they must follow the TRUE “church model” [“being the church”, instead of “going to church]. Just like they must also follow the TRUE 7th-day biblical Sabbath (Saturday), celebrate in the Lord’s TRUE holidays (Passover, Tabernacles, etc.), do AWAY with all things/holidays Pagan (Easter, etc.), and get baptized in Jesus’s name!  

But alas, at some point, the Luciferian establishment will no doubt try to come after them and take them out, if and when they do, more than likely. But no worries on the person’s part! Because whoever loses his/her life for Jesus’s sake (as a result of persecution from the dark/Satanic forces) will GAIN it (i.e. receive eternal awards in HIS millennial kingdom/eternal paradise someday).

However, Revelation in the New Testament records that Jesus will unleash HIS wrath upon ALL souls who take the mark of the beast in their right hands or their foreheads. For those celebrities who HAVEN’T yet sold your souls to the devil, DON’T! And for those who of you who already HAVE sold your soul to the devil and signed your name in blood?

How sad & grieved I am for you, for you obviously did not know of, did not believe in or did NOT CARE about THE TRUTH, HIS eternal truth in the bible! His eternal truth in the bible which states in John 3:16 “For God [the Heavenly Father] so loved the world [mankind] that he gave his only begotten Son [Yeshua/Jesus Christ Almighty] that whoever believes in Him [Yeshua/Jesus Christ Almighty] will not perish but have everlasting life”.

Translation: Yeshua/Jesus Christ Almighty, took the penalty for ALL of mankind’s sins by shedding HIS holy blood during the crucifixion! And by SO doing, He allowed mankind (all those willing to accept His gift of Salvation) to receive ETERNAL SALVATION/FORGIVENESS OF SINS and ETERNAL LIFE/ETERNITY WITH HIM, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY, IN NEW JERUSALEM/PARADISE. And by believing in HIM AND OBEYING HIM, a soul “washes their sins/souls CLEAN” and their sins are remembered no more!

Even Anton Lavey (founder of the church of Satan) had a DEATH BED REALIZATION about Jesus from heaven and discovered that he had been WRONG “all along”! How sad and unfortunate to look back on one’s whole entire life and to KNOW that one has perpetually DEFIED the heavenly creator, who created all things!

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” Matthew 10:28 in New Testament

Also: Whoever believes, trusts and OBEYS Jesus/Yeshua (no matter the cost), Hebrews 13:5-6 states “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. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me”

Now on to my next spiel, demonic possession. Many musicians and actors have admitted to the public that they’re into the Occult and that “the spirits” are what drives them. Check out the following link, around the 4:00 mark or so.

http://www.youtube.com/v/WwhuiPtNciI and at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIjmoegy7AQ

Need I say anything more?

Many people in today’s world “envy” the rich and famous but what they don’t realize is WHOM and WHAT the “rich and famous” really work FOR (Satan — in exchange for their souls!) What would drive such a person to SELL THEIR SOUL to Jesus/Yeshua’s avowed eternal enemy (Satan), all for just TEMPORARY “riches”, while HE, and HE alone, JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY, can give them ETERNAL RICHES that will NEVER FADE AWAY for all eternity, provided they permanently TURN from Satan and turn to HIM, instead?

Don’t they KNOW how much Jesus/Yeshua loves them and how long He’s been waiting for them? Don’t they KNOW that HE died on the cross for THEIR sins and the sins of all mankind so that THEY could be given a chance of eternal salvation and of everlasting life? Do they care?

When I see the modern day music and movie industry, my spirit is MUCH GRIEVED! ;( Musicians have become “evangelists” for the devil, HIS eternal adversary, and musical “concerts” have become “Satanic worship” in every sense of the word. And movies like “Noah” and “Son of God” TAKE THINGS **WAY** OUT OF CONTEXT AND AREN’T EVEN BIBLICAL!

One can know within the first 5 seconds that the Son of God movie is NOT biblical! How? Simple. Water gets into the boat. And if one reads the bible, one would know FAIRLY WELL that NOT ONE SINGLE DROP OF WATER GOT INTO THE ARK since Noah coated it with a special kind of tar/pitch all throughout. And the movie “Noah” was made by an Atheist who HATES God! Yes, HATES GOD and HIS great, mighty, powerful heavenly name!

Sadly, “movies” have now taken the place of Jesus/Yeshua’s holy, divine words in the bible! Now people will go out and watch what THEY think are “biblical movies”, thinking that they “don’t NEED to read the bible, since now, *the bible has come to the big screen!*”. O how they are deceived! Satan is alive and well in today’s world…….A world where the 1st lesbian “throuple” had what I call a “fake marriage”, where humans are partaking of the most gravest of sins IN GENERAL and where people have long since forgotten Jesus/Yeshua!

How much longer will the Heavenly Father let this total debauchery go on? I’m sure it can’t be too much longer. The funny thing is, NO MAN knows the day or hour, NOT EVEN the angels or the Son of God, JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY, but the Heavenly Father, ONLY!

I am ASTOUNDED at the rate of “gay marriage” today and human society’s general ACCEPTANCE of it. Let me tell you something! If one “approves” of gay marriage, in HIS eyes, it is no different than if the “approver” of such vile things had/has partaken in a gay marriage, THEMSELVES! Yes, you heard me right. Gay “marriage” IS AN ABOMINATION in His heavenly site and one of the most VILE of things! And it’ll only get worse from here on! Soon, humans will demand commune marriage, incest marriages, pedo marriages, bestiality marriages, etc., until marriage, in and of itself, is not a recognized institution anymore.

But I’ll tell you ONE thing. Just because “two men” and “two women” *marry one another* in the court’s eyes DOES NOT mean that they are “married” in the Lord’s eyes! In fact, in HIS heavenly eyes, they are not married AT ALL but are “communed together in perpetual sin” since HE has created marriage to be between ONE man and ONE woman! O how Satan has tried since the beginning of creation to try to DEFILE it [man and woman made in the “image of God”] as much as possible! How he puts this false idea into their bi/homo/trans minds that they were “born that way!”

Nonsense! He would NEVER in all His heavenly days and existence create something as anything other than a true, “natural design”. But Satan, as you know, likes to PERVERT things and has tried to do so from the very beginning of creation!

One thing that Satan PARTICULARLY likes to pervert is the *sanctity of life*! As the bible itself states, Satan’s angry and knows his time is short. So rather than worry about if Jane Doe or Joe Schmoe’s gonna grow up to be an adherer/teacher of the Word someday, he figures he might as well save himself all the hassle and cut to the chase by promoting ABORTION! Cause hey, what better way to make sure he gets rid of ALL future “preachers” than by killing them in the womb before they even have a chance to take their first breath?

And isn’t that eerily similar to King Herod’s edict to kill all male children, aged 2 years and under, in the Old Testament? How is the modern day “cultural edict” to kill off as many unborn babies in the womb as possible [for Satan AND for cash money] any different? Answer: it’s not!

Life has NO MEANING at all to Satan and his “advocates”, only DEATH AND DESTRUCTION! And he’s somehow twisted it all around to make people believe it’s a “war on women” thing when in ALL actuality, it’s a “WAR ON THE BIBLE AND YESHUA/JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY”, thing! 

Look around you. Women aren’t being “murdered” in the streets due to their desire for “birth control”. There is no “war on women”, as Satan and his “advocates” define it. For the only TRUE “war on women” is the war that Satan fights for THEIR VERY SOULS! That is the TRUE “war on women” raging today! But again, it’s not just a spiritual “war on women”! It’s a spiritual war on men and children, as well! There is a WORLD-WIDE spiritual war RAGING ON in today’s world for the SOULS OF MANKIND! Which side of the spiritual “war” is YOUR soul on?

His heavenly patience is wearing MIGHTY thin. There’s not much time left. You need to make yourselves ready. ALL of you! For no man knoweth the day or the hour. He will come at an hour you DO NOT expect. Please do not let the day come upon you like a thief in the night! Please watch therefore, constantly pray and make yourselves ready! And don’t take my warnings LIGHTLY! For they are meant for YOUR benefit! O how I love thee and want to see thee saved from eternal destruction (as many as are willing).

John 14:6 says: “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”. 

Translation: He is the ONLY way to receive forgiveness of sins and the ONLY way to have eternal life. There IS no other way. NO other god or belief system is going to save you from the eternal wrath of God IN THE FLAMES OF TORMENT, only HE and HE alone, Jesus Christ/Yeshua Almighty, can save you! But you must BELIEVE! And you must have FAITH in HIM and obey HIM! Otherwise, calling out to HIS great, heavenly name will do nothing for you!

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” – Matthew 7:21

I hope to see all of you (as many as adhere to the Lord’s great, heavenly name) in the new heavenly kingdom, someday!

The Path To Darkness: WIDE IS THE GATE

There is SO much wrong going on in the world today that it’s just mind-boggling……BEYOND mind-boggling, actually……

But what REALLY gets me the most is modern-day Christianity…….NOT ONLY are there SEVERAL apostate churches popping up all over the U.S. and around the world, but even HUNDREDS of the ones who call themselves “non-apostate churches” are actually in and of themselves apostate (ironic, isn’t it?)

“Really? Which ones?”, you may ask. Well, let me explain, here.

LONG BEFORE the MODERN day apostasy (i.e. Ecumenicalism — modern-day Churches aligning themselves with the Roman Catholic Church in Rome — and/or the Emergent Movement — bringing “New Age” themes into the Christian church, such as meditation, labyrinths, etc.), there was ALREADY an apostasy going on within the “Christian church”, as it were. And it started around the time of Constantine. Many people (specifically, Catholics and many Christian people today) want to PRAISE Constantine, thinking he did so much to ADVANCE CHRISTIANITY within the Roman Empire and perhaps the world, even.

But they are sadly overlooking ONE thing: In wanting to “appease” the Pagans within the Roman Empire who worshiped the Sun on SUN-DAY, he CHANGED the Sabbath day from the BIBLICALLY-MANDATED SATURDAY (7th day of the week) to SUN-DAY (the first day of the week!)

“Yeah, so what! What’s the big deal?”, you may be asking or saying to yourself. Well, I’ll TELL YOU what the “big deal” is! You can NOT change the holy, divine law of God and still call yourself “Christian”, that’s what!

Anyways, the Catholic Church followed suit in further promoting SUN-DAY as the Sabbath, instead of the BIBLICALLY-MANDATED SATURDAY (7th day of the week). Also please remember that around the time of Constantine in the Roman Empire, anti-Jewish sentiments were high among Gentile Christians, who accused the Jews of crucifying Jesus. Therefore, those ancient Christians didn’t want anything to DO with Jews or what they considered to be “Jewish law”. That’s why they HAPPILY submitted to the SUN-DAY Sabbath, instead of the biblically-mandated Saturday (7th day) one!

However, when Constantine changed the Sabbath from Saturday TO Sunday, he sadly turned Christianity into a LIE [and only managed to further advance an APOSTATE FORM of Christianity, nothing  more]. That’s almost like the Jews of Moses’s time worshiping the golden calf while still believing in their hearts that they were somehow doing a “true service” to God! You can NOT put a “Christian stamp” on something that’s PAGAN in nature or origin (such as worship of the Sun day) and then expect God to approve of it, for God CAN NOT and WILL NOT approve of such blasphemies!

Okay, now fast forward to the modern times. The Catholic Church has observed a SUN-DAY Sabbath for YEARS and pretty much ALL OTHER CHRISTIAN CHURCHES (save for a very small few) have followed suit!

Have you ever wondered about WHY Jesus was the JEWISH MESSIAH, yet, most modern-day churches/Christians don’t give a DARN about the Old Testament or even do so much as care to read it? Or have you ever wondered WHY the modern-day church doesn’t celebrate the 7 annual feasts of the Lord and writes them off as “Jewish holidays, ONLY”? Or have you ever wondered why the church no longer celebrates the “7th Day-biblically-mandated Sabbath” but instead celebrates the Sabbath on the FIRST day of the week (Sun-day)?

Ironically enough, many modern-day churches/Christians completely and totally REJECT Jesus’s “Jewishness”.

And sadly, that’s the one aspect of Jesus Christ that simply can NOT be denied if one is to accept the FULL 100% TRUTH of God!

Modern-day Christians can NOT deny the “Jewishness” of Jesus since it’s written ALL OVER THE SCRIPTURES, OLD **AND** NEW TESTAMENTS, not to mention that over 360+ Messianic Prophecies about the coming Jewish Messiah in the Old Testament were FULFILLED by Jesus Christ in the New Testament!

https://yeshua777.wordpress.com/m/

Sadly, many modern-day Christians today have this unbridled spiritual/emotional animosity for the Jews. But ironically, that is exactly what Satan wants because remember that Satan’s goal is to take people AWAY from the Word of God and to divide and conquer among the Lord’s people (Gentile and Jew, alike!) And the people that decide to follow the Jewish roots of Christianity, believing it to be the Lord’s 100% truth, are not only few and far between but are facing an UPHILL BATTLE, as far as acceptance goes. But ya know what? Jesus had THIS to say in John 15:18-27 :

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me;

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning”

But anyways, the point I was wanting to make is that modern-day Christianity has STRAYED from its Jewish roots and if there’s to be any REAL biblical truth behind it, it needs to GO BACK to its Jewish roots, in form, in prayers, in reading and in practice!

“But HOW?”, you may ask. Answer: By reading and following the Old AND New Testaments!

“But wait a minute!”, you may think. “Weren’t the Old Testament laws done away by Jesus in the New Testament?”

Answer: No, NOT AT ALL! In fact, they were EXPANDED ON, and even ADDED ONTO in the New Testament!

Don’t believe me? Check out Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapter 5-7). Not only did he reference the 10 commandments from Moses in the Old Testament but he EXPANDED on them.

And concerning the Old Testament law(s), he had THIS to say:

“Think NOT that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” [Matthew 5:17-18]

The new heaven and new Earth don’t happen until Revelation 21:1 [book of Revelation, chapter 21, verse 1] in the bible. And from my understanding, at the start of Revelation chapter 22, heaven and earth have already passed and a new heaven and new Earth has been created. The law was done away with at the beginning of chapter 21 of Revelation DURING the creation of the new heaven and new Earth and by the start of Revelation chapter 22, there is no longer any “law” because “law” is simply not needed anymore, for there is NO MORE CHAOS, DISORDER AND DESTRUCTION, at this very point in time, for there is only PEACE, LOVE, SERVITUDE TO GOD/JESUS CHRIST AND PERFECT HARMONY. In other words, Paradise Eternal.

And ya want to know WHY the Lord’s 7 Annual Feasts aren’t JUST “Jewish holidays” for the Jews to observe, only? Jesus AND his apostles AND their followers celebrated all 7 of the Lord’s Annual Feasts, including 2 additional “minor” Jewish feasts and ESPECIALLY the Saturday (Jewish) Sabbath. And the book of Revelation in the New Testament references the people of the Lord partaking in THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES (one of the Lord’s required/ordained 7 annual feasts talked about in the OLD TESTAMENT!) So what does THAT tell you, folks? Yup. You guessed it. The Lord’s 7 annual feasts are STILL required for us to celebrate today! And not only that, but celebrating the feasts of the Lord that Jesus fulfilled can actually help bring one CLOSER to Jesus Christ, not farther away from him!

You may’ve gone to a Sunday-worshiping church your whole life and been led to believe by your pastor that the “Jewish days” were no longer required of us, as Christians and/or that it was “good” and “okay” to celebrate Christmas and Easter (Pagan originated holidays) by putting a “Christian stamp” on it or might’ve even been led to believe by “popular teachings” that Christians somehow replace Jews as God’s Chosen People. But my friends……you’ve been deceived. Not only by your church and your pastor but by the world. Remember that Satan is  VERY ANGRY and knows his time on Earth is short and he’s out to deceive as MANY PEOPLE AS HE CAN, while he still gots time. He gots the Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witness, Christian “cults” and all those who hate and deny Jesus, in his pocket. He also gots the Satanists/Wiccans/Pagans/New Agers, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, Shintoists, Kabbalists, Scientologists, Agnostics, Sunday-sabbath-worshiping Christians, etc. in his pocket.

But what Satan DOESN’T have in his pocket are true, bible-believing Christians who adhere to/follow the bible, front to back, Old Testament to New Testament, in life, in prayer, in reading and in practice. And it’s THOSE souls who shall inherit Eternal Paradise with Jesus Christ someday and of whom Satan hates the absolute most!

Plus let us ALSO remember what Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14

^“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: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it“

I pray that all that read this will open up their eyes to the GREAT DECEPTION that happened in the Christian church under Constantine long ago and that they will not only have an interest in the Jewish roots of Christianity but that they will search their minds, hearts, bodies and spirits to discover the 100% truth of God, not just the “partial truth” spoken about in most modern-day Christian churches today! I also want to say a prayer for Israel and for all those who deny or mock Jesus Christ. May they open up their minds, hearts and spirits to the Lord’s full 100% spiritual truth before it’s too late. Amen. 

The “Good News” of Jesus Christ!!! (UPDATED)

Did you know that the word “gospel” is actually a Greek?? or Yiddish?? word meaning “Good News”? In other words, the “Gospel” of Jesus Christ really means the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. And the “Good News” is that Jesus Christ died on the cross over 1976+ years ago at a place called Golgotha, just so WE could have a chance to have Salvation/Forgiveness of Sins and Eternal Life/Eternity in Paradise! So if that’s not real love, I don’t know what is!

Jesus offered himself up to be beaten, flogged, whipped, torchured, mocked, ridiculed, laughed at, spit on, pierced with a sword, crowned with a crown of thorns, nailed through the wrists and feet and crucified just to give US (all of mankind) a chance to have eternal life/go to eternal Paradise someday and just to give US (all of mankind) the chance to be “made clean” in God the Heavenly Father’s site by sparing us from Eternal Condemnation of our sins! 3 days later after he was crucified, he rose again from the dead during the Resurrection and 40 days later, Ascended up to Heaven to be on the Right Hand Throne of God the Heavenly Father! There are even several ancient, historical NON-Christian accounts of these events at:

factreal.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/nonchristians-prove-jesus-resurrection/

“For God [the Heavenly Father] so loved the world [mankind] that he gave his only begotten Son [Jesus Christ] that whoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life“ [John 3:16 in the New Testament]

But we must ACCEPT the free gifts of “Salvation/Forgiveness of Sins” and “Eternal Life” from Jesus Christ. Otherwise, we cannot RECEIVE the gifts of “Salvation” and “Eternity in Paradise”. And all those who die in this life without ever having accepted Jesus Christ will BE CONDEMNED FOR ETERNITY IN THE “FIRE THAT NEVER QUENCHES”. So please don’t be ONE of those people! (Remember that you can always PRAY to believe in Jesus Christ if you don’t believe in him, already!)

If you’re not right with Jesus Christ, get right with Jesus Christ, today! Please! I beg you from the pure depths of my soul! There’s not alot of time left on this Earth! You never know when you’re going to die! You never know if you’re gonna be one of those people whom God will give a 2nd chance to during a near-death experience or one whom God will immediately choose to CONDEMN, upon death.

All those who believe in Jesus Christ and trust in him, and repent of their sins and get baptized in the name of the Heavenly Father, the Holy Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit (as well as follow ALL of Jesus’s commands in the bible, including the 10 commandments) WILL be saved and spend eternity with God/Jesus Christ in Eternal Paradise! And ALL who believe in and TRUST Jesus Christ, no matter what, and obey his commandments (even amongst much clamor and opposition from the “world”) will be given eternal rewards in Paradise someday!

So please. Come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ today. Before it’s too late. I simply can NOT emphasize that ENOUGH!

1. Pray to know Jesus Christ is real. Pray to him “Lord, please reveal yourself to me and show me that you’re real”. But you must WANT to get to know Jesus Christ before he reveals himself to you in a dream, vision, etc.

2. Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord & Savior.

3. Pray for forgiveness of your sins and REPENT of your sins (meaning, to give UP your old, sinful lifestyle and begin a NEW LIFE in Christ!)

4. Get full-water immersion baptized in the name of Jesus Christ Almighty IMMEDIATELY UPON BELIEVING! That is the TRUE biblical model of baptism………..(baptism is required for the “ceremonial washing away of sins” and public declaration of faith to God and man. And the Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth — the spirit of God that will grant you spiritual discernment to know what is truly of God and what is NOT!)

5. CONTINUE to follow/obey Jesus’s commandments/teachings in the bible, ESPECIALLY the 10 commandments and the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters 5-7 in the New Testament.

And this ALSO includes celebration of the Lord’s 7 Annual Holy Days outlined in Leviticus 23, Exodus 20: 8-11, Hebrews 4: 9-10, 1 Corinthians 5:8, the Lord’s TRUE “Easter”/Passover in Luke 22:15 and 1 Corinthians 11: 23-25, as well as the TRUE biblical Sabbath (Friday sundown to 3 stars visible in the sky/Saturday sundown).

And by celebrating in the LORD’S 7 Annual Holy Days, that also means FORSAKING the UNHOLY days (the “fake/UNBIBLICAL holidays”) such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, St. Valentine’s Day, etc., as well as the FAKE/UNBIBLICAL SABBATH (SUNDAY).

Note: You might not think that this matters too much to the Lord Jesus Christ, but BELIEVE ME, IT DOES! Jesus Christ considers “fake/unbiblical holidays” such as Christmas and Easter as well as the FAKE/UNBIBLICAL SABBATH (SUNDAY) AN ABOMINATION! Why? Because the LORD’S 7 Annual BIBLICAL holidays are a pure celebration of HIM while the FAKE unbiblical holidays and FAKE SABBATH (SUNDAY) celebrate things such as sun worship, lust, greed, chocolate, Santa Claus and Easter bunnies!

6. Once you are saved, tell others to get saved. The Lord Jesus commands us to “make a disciple of all nations”. In other words, go out and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and salvation for sins to anybody & everybody who’ll listen!

7. Do what Jesus asks of you. Not only in the bible but in your own personal life. You know it’s the spirit of God talking (the Holy Spirit/spirit of Jesus Christ) when you’re asked to do something that’s commanded in the bible. “Go talk to your atheist friend about me” or “go donate all your books to the library” or “ask your family rather or not they believe in me and why or why not” and/or “write a letter to this person”.

And lastly, watch for the signs of Jesus’s soon return to the Earth. He will set his feet on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Israel. Jesus commanded us in the bible to “watch therefore and be ready, for you do not know at what hour your master comes”.

Why Did God Allow “Sin” Into the World?

Many people ask why God even put the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden to begin with, if he didn’t want Adam & Eve eating of the fruit from it. The answer is that he wanted to give them, like his angels in heaven, free will; the chance to CHOOSE to love him willfully, rather than to be their *dictator*, if you will….

It’s also a part of WHY he allowed sin to come into the world…….So people would have free will and could CHOOSE if they wanted to love God and follow LIFE/LIGHT (a life of obedience to God) or darkness/spiritual depravity (a life of disobedience to God). Think of parents and their children for example. Parents don’t FORCE their kids by sheer force to love them or be good 24/7. Yet, if their children are bad, they are punished. And if they are permanently bad beyond repair, and CHOOSE to be, the parents throw the kid out and disown them. So it is with God.

“So how DID sin come into the world?”, one might ask. 

In the beginning of time, in the Old Testament, in the bible [GENESIS 2:18-25 to GENESIS 3:1], we read about how “sin” came into the Earth. God made Adam from the dust of the ground and from one of Adam’s ribs, he made Eve. God said that Adam & Eve could eat from any tree of fruit in the Garden of Eden (Paradise) except from the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. God said that IF either of them ate the fruit of that Tree, that they would both surely die.

One day as Eve was near the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, a serpent approached Eve and tempted her to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree. He told Eve that God wanted to keep the best things away from her and Adam and that if her and Adam ate the fruit from the tree, that they surely wouldn’t die, only that they would have their eyes opened and be LIKE unto God, having the knowledge between Good and Evil. So Eve ate of the forbidden fruit and gave some to Adam to eat, too. [GENESIS 3:4-6]

When God came through the Garden later that night and called “Adam, where art thou?”, Adam replied “I hid because I was naked and I was afraid”. God said to Adam: “why is thou naked? Hast thou eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the tree of which I told you not to eat?” But immediately Adam tried to blame Eve by saying “the woman that thou hast given me, she gave me of the fruit and I ate”. Then God turned to Eve and said “what is this evil thing you have done?” and Eve replied “the serpent tricked me into eating the fruit and I ate”. [GENESIS 3:11-13]

Then God turned to the serpent and said “Because thou has done this, thou will be cursed of all domestic animals and of all wild beasts. Thou shall crawl on thy belly and eat dust all thou’s life. Also, I will put enmity [hatred] between you and the woman; also between your offspring and her offspring; he will crush your head and you will crush his heel”
[GENESIS 3:14-15]

To the woman (Eve) God said “I will greatly increase your pangs in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you” [GENESIS 3:16]

To the man (Adam) God said “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you ‘You shall not eat of it’, cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of you were taken and you are dust, and to dust you shall return” [GENESIS 3:16-19]

God threw them out from the Garden of Eden and put a flaming sword in every direction to guard the path to the tree of life. [GENESIS 3:24]

Later on, Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Abel was a sheppard while Cain was a tiller of the fields. One day, Cain brought an offering to God from the soil while Abel brought an offering from the firstlings of his flocks, especially from their fat portions. 

God was pleased with Abel’s offering but not Cain’s and so Cain became angry, with his face downcast. God said to Cain “Why is thou angry and why is thy face downcast? If thou does right, will there not be a lifting up? But if those misbehaves, sin is crouching at the door; its intention is towards you, and you must master it” [GENESIS 4:5].

Not much longer after that, the biblical account continues and we read in the bible of Cain “luring” his brother out into the field and then killing him, DUE to his total jealousy and rage that God accepted Abel’s offering to God on the altar of praise/thanksgiving but not Cain’s! God then later came back at Cain and said “where is thy brother Abel?” to which Cain responded “I know not, am I my brother’s keeper?” to which God responded back “Cain, your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!……….”

God then proceeded to punish Cain by making him an outcast and a vegabond, etc., Cain cried out to God and said “my punishment is more than I can bear, every man seeing me will try to kill me, and thou hast driven me out from my people!” God then had a little “mercy” on Cain and placed a special mark on him so that whoever tried to kill him wouldn’t be successful in doing so, is sort’ve the jist I get from that. And Cain later moves on OUT OF THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD (and remember, this is very significant, here) and moves to land of Nod with his wife. [And yes: I believe God “spliced” more people from Cain and Seth on until he didn’t need to “splice” them anymore].

So that’s where the two accounts of “original sin” and “death” come in, as it pertains to the Earth (Eve, the first woman, eating of the forbidden fruit and then giving some to Adam to eat and then later on of Cain killing his brother Abel). And so it has been ever since (humans being sinners).

So what is sin, essentially? And why did God allow for it to come into the world?

Sin is technically classified as anything that *separates us from God*. When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit God told them not to and when Cain killed his brother Abel…. not only were they condemning themselves to die (for if they had never sinned, they would’ve lived forever in Paradise with God), but they were also *separating themselves* from God since God is a holy, pure God and can not look upon any *sin*. And remember that NO human is perfect, save for God. “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23

Lets take a look at the 10 Commandments & other sins to get a good idea of what God calls “sin”:

10 Commandments:

1. Thou shall have no other gods before me. (This doesn’t just apply to “literal” gods other than Elohim {God, the Heavenly Father} but can also be things like money, music, alcohol, drugs, pornography, a celebrity or political leader or basically just ANYTHING that would conceivably make a person love something or someone else more than they love God!)

2. Thou shall not make unto thee any idols or graven images. (Similar to the 1st commandment, this is basically telling us not to worship paintings, pictures, statues, wood carvings, molded/wax images, celebrities [music, tv/movie/radio/internet/sports stars, authors, preachers, money, etc.]

3. Thou shall not take the name of thy Lord in vain. (It’s not just saying G-d it or “J!” or “J Christ!” that can get you in trouble with God but also things like “oh my G-d…”, or “oh G-d…” or “G-d that sucks” or “so help me G-d/G-d as my witness” [spoken in a non-religious context] or “G-d, you’re so rude” [when talking to another person and not God himself] or basically just any SENTENCE in general that uses God in a non-religious, non-humble way).

4. Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy. (Ancient BIBLICAL times place the Sabbath Day on Saturday (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown) while CONSTANTINE was wishing to live in harmony with the Pagan Roman Empire, thus declaring the Sabbath Day to be Sun-Day, which Pagans used to worship the SUN, not THE SON of Almighty God! Therefore, Sun-day is a FALSE Sabbath and Friday sundown to Saturday sundown is the TRUE, BIBLICAL SABBATH and is used to served as a SIGN of the “covenant” between God and his people!

Keeping the Sabbath Day holy, however, technically means to not do any work during the Day and to give the full day up to worship God and pray/praise Him for all he’s done for all of mankind and in one’s life, essentially. The 7th day Sabbath is not a “Jewish Sabbath” per say, but rather, it’s a BIBLICAL Sabbath to be observed by ALL of God’s people, not just SOME of God’s people! Cause afterall, think about it: why would the Lord God Almighty himself create in 6 days, then CONSECRATE and make holy the 7th day, only to ALLOW Constantine (a mere human MAN) to CHANGE his holy consecrated 7th day Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? Answer: He wouldn’t!!!!!!

5. Honor thy Father and thy Mother. (This means to not only respect one’s own parents but to love them unconditionally and respect their parental advice/ancestry/etc.)

6. Thou shall not kill. (Put simply, it means don’t murder other human beings or oneself, accept in cases of self-defense. Jesus said Matthew 5:22-25 that “whoever hates their brother/sister without cause has committed murder in their hearts”. But it can also mean don’t kill animals just for “sport”. This is seen as unclean in God’s eyes).

7. Thou shall not commit adultery. (This means not to have sexual relations with someone who’s married/engaged to someone else OR divorced…..because to remarry with a divorced person is seen as adultery in God’s eyes. And God says in Matthew 5:27-28 that when a man looks at a woman to lust after her or when a woman looks at a man to lust after him, they have committed adultery with that person in their hearts. However, if a spouse dies, then it’s okay to remarry and no sin of adultery has been committed). It also means not to have sex before marriage.

8. Thou shall not steal. (This can literally mean ANYTHING that belongs to someone else, even if it’s just a single penny, pen, piece of writing, etc.)

9. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. (In short, don’t lie….no matter how hard it is to tell the truth…..for the Lord God Yahweh (God, the Heavenly Father) hates ALL lies, no matter how small they are and no matter WHAT the reason is. God doesn’t care. Sin is sin to him. He makes no distinction). In the special case of lying to protect one’s feelings, God STILL hates lying. The truth is ALWAYS the best, even if it hurts. It may hurt for awhile, yes, but God is a God of healing. He can heal that person’s hurt. It’s better for a person to know the truth now, rather than to find out the truth later. The truth will hurt SO much more when and if it’s delayed.

10. Thou shall not covet anything that is thy neighbors. (In short, it just simply means don’t be jealous/envious of things/talents/people that belong to someone else. Unless you want to have something like *more faith*. That is the ONLY type of jealousy that I can personally conceive in my mind as being considered as *righteous jealousy* in God’s eyes. All other jealousies or “I wish I had what so and so has” is un-righteousness and sinful.

The only exception I can think of to this would be if someone *lets* another have what they have or once had. Then it’s technically not coveting/envying on that person’s part….? Although the Lord still might not totally like the fact that person A WANTED so badly what belonged to person B, initially……(ESPECIALLY if the “thing” in question was NOT a *righteous thing* such as “more faith”, etc.)……EVEN if person B actually GAVE what they have/had to person A……so be careful, folks! If you’re gonna be “jealous” of anything at all towards anyone, make sure it’s a 100% RIGHTEOUS JEALOUSY such as “Lord, give me more faith like THIS person has” or “Lord, give me the type of faith that King David had!” 😉

Other sins:

1. Sloth – being lazy, doing nothing, laying in bed all day
2. Greed – not giving to the poor or helping others in need, only thinking of one self
3. Pride – putting oneself above others and above God
4. Anger/Wrath – holding grudges/having severe hatred for someone
5. Gluttony – overeating or more than is necessary for one meal

But the truth is, NOBODY is perfect and we are ALL going to fall short of the mark, on these. And God knew that ahead of time. That’s why he made Jesus Christ pay the “penalty” for mankind’s sins on the Cross. So that “through” Jesus Christ, we may believe and our souls may become “clean” in God’s site. For God is a holy, pure God and can’t let any “unforgiven sin” into paradise/the earthly heavenly realm talked about in Revelation chapter 21-22.

However, if we accept Jesus Christ as the Lord & Savior of mankind, pray for forgiveness of our sins, repent of our sins, become IMMEDIATELY full-water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ upon VERY FIRST believing in him (because remember that the people in Jesus’s time got immediately baptized with little or no delay after very first believing in him — which no doubt made their baptism all the more powerful & life-changing), and then CONTINUE to live our lives for Yeshua/Jesus Christ Almighty by APPLYING HIS mandates/commands to OUR everyday lives, we are “made clean” in God’s eyes! We are then forgiven for all of our sins and can enter His Eternal City called “New Jerusalem” [Revelation, chapters 21-22], someday! 😉 

“He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who not believe will be condemned” [Mark 16:16]
