I have previously written much about how Satan and the powers of darkness are trying to lead you in your thinking. Everywhere we go, everything we see, and everything we listen to, Satan is right there trying to influence your thinking and your every thought. As we draw closer to the end this will increase exponentially. It will increase to the point of mass confusion where everyone is choosing their own path and expressing their own opinions. So, we must ask ourselves, are the thoughts coming from God or the powers of darkness? Remember, Satan has always been an expert at quoting scripture often out of context and totally unrelated to what God really wants to say to us. It may sound good and even cause us to rejoice believing that we just got a word from the Lord. It may even make perfect sense about our present situation or circumstance. So, you might ask, why is Satan doing this? What is the point? Well, the point is Satan does not care what you think about, nor does he really care what you do, but he does care if you listen to God and follow His express will for your life. Satan knows the moment you start listening ONLY to God’s voice and His direction for your life, then he will lose the war for your soul. He will be defeated.

Let God Lead You In Your Thinking
Becoming Soldiers of the Cross
There is a spiritual battle raging for the hearts and minds of humanity. Are we going to sit on the sidelines and watch humanity being slaughtered by the powers of darkness or will we take the armor of God and learn how to be an effective soldier of the cross? You might be thinking, I am too weak from going through my own trials and tribulations to join the ranks of God’s army. You might think that evil has already won opting to wait upon Christ to deliver you from this increasingly powerful and dangerous world. You might think that you are completely ineffective to confront a world that is sinking deeper and deeper into their conspiracy theories, depression, and drug addiction. You might be thinking with the horrific division in the world caused by giving everyone a platform on social media that it’s nearly impossible to reach a consensus on how to stand against the enemy of our souls. With all these thoughts God’s beloved children will get on their knees before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords asking Him to build His true army of the Cross to stand against the powers of darkness that’s destroying the world. I am convinced through heart-felt surrender to our Lord Jesus Christ we will see the one true path forward for building an indestructible army of the Cross.

We Are A Holy Sanctuary
As we face a deeply troubled world on the precipice of Armageddon it is essential to remember who we are in Christ. We are a Holy Sanctuary. The moment we surrender our life to Jesus Christ as Lord, the Holy Spirit enters the throne room of our hearts to begin the transformation process. This process will continue for our entire life on planet Earth. It is a process often described in the Bible as growing spiritually from one degree of glory to another (II Corinthians 3:18). Dear children, please remember that we are constantly in a state of spiritual growth, or we are slipping back into the ways of the fallen world run by the powers of darkness. It is essential to remember that we were not created to be stuck in a static personality or given a label by the counselors of psychology. The whole world is being labeled, drugged, and counseled for the rest of their lifetime by the spiritual powers of darkness. Today, we will learn again that as a Christian and faithful follower of Jesus Christ, we have been made into a new creation where old things are passing away, and behold all things have become new (II Corinthians 5:17). Embracing this biblical truth will put you back on the path of God making you into a Holy Sanctuary. As we shall soon discover being God’s Holy Sanctuary is our only sure defense against all of God’s wrath falling upon an unrepentant world. It is our only sure defense for standing against the whiles of the devil and his powers of darkness. Continue reading We Are A Holy Sanctuary
In the Center of God’s Will
Living in the center of God’s will on earth as it is in heaven is a most amazing experience filled with awe. If I had only one prayer for all of God’s children living on the planet, it would be that they would all live in the center of God’s will every moment of every day. If that happened it would truly turn the world upside down. Imagine how that would look. The lukewarm church would no longer exist. Everyone in the church would be completely out of the world and following God’s will every moment of every day with both feet firmly planted in the Church, the body of Christ. They would no longer follow the ways of the world. Loving one another would be paramount. Every believer would live to serve others by learning how to recognize their real needs and immediately fulfill them with humility. No longer would they build up their self-esteem by displaying perfected self-images, beautifully crafted rhetoric, and the vanity of rehearsed mannerisms. True love would not be braggadocio but in humility would count others better than themselves (Philippians 2:3). What joy it would be to see God’s magnificent love radiate one to another in selfless acts of service. In an egotistical and prideful world, how can we ever get there? Continue reading In the Center of God’s Will
Spiritual Babylon Rides the Beast
At the initial writing of the book of Revelation, Babylon was considered to be Rome which ruled the nations in the world with great power, and the beast was considered to be a Roman emperor or Caesar. With the founding of the new world, America became the new seat of power in the world rivaling every other nation or kingdom to this day. It has attracted immigrants from around the world in search of prosperity and freedom to worship or believe as they wish. Although in the beginning, Christianity appeared to dominate the stage setting forth its new political agenda, it was not long before others coming would magnify their own voices in a free society. It was not long before America became a bright shining city sitting on a hill allowing the popular vote to set the agenda for both beliefs and practices. It was not long before the city, spiritual Babylon, was riding the beast allowing it to take them wherever it wanted to go. The woman riding the Beast was Mystery Babylon, later described as the great city (Revelation 17:4-5;18). The beast through the guise of a free and democratic process was setting the agenda and leading the entire population to sin against Almighty God. Little by little one perversion after another was accepted as the nation chanted USA, USA. Continue reading Spiritual Babylon Rides the Beast
