Humanity’s Last Prophetic Warning

2 Comments

Oh Lord, let this last prophecy sink deep into the hearts of all humanity contrary to their nationality, belief system, and even their standing on the world stage. Let it even open the eyes of the agnostic to see the majestic glory of your heavenly Kingdom as the ruler and Creator of all that exists. As we fast approach the end, time is running out for humanity. Over two thousand years ago the Revelation was given to the seven churches in Asia, which became a symbol for every church age (Revelation 2:1-3:22). We are now living in the age of the Lukewarm church, which has integrated the teachings of the world with the holy doctrines of Christianity. The whole Revelation is a dynamic prophecy written for every age from the First Century until now leading God’s children to be prepared for every age. Now, most believers in the church of the faithful remnant agree that this is the final age because almost the entire world has turned away from Jesus Christ as Lord. They no longer keep in step with the Spirit, but have integrated the teachings of psychology, other world religions, philosophies, and science leading them into every perversion and further away from God as their Creator.

With the escalation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the escalation of the war between Israel and Iran’s proxies the world is on pins and needles because it could easily lead to World War III, so they cast their trust on their elected leaders and the United Nations. With overcrowded prisons, increasing homelessness, drug addiction, lawlessness, and young children doing the unthinkable the world is on heightened anxiety casting their trust on law enforcement and psychology. With increasing storms, floods, earthquakes, and tornadoes the world is growing weary with the death and destruction, so they grow ever more dependent on governments to fight global warming and the news services to give the proper warnings. With every new virus that threatens another global pandemic, the world is trusting in medical research to discover another new vaccination to cure the masses. Without religion to explain the meaning of life and death or where we came from the world is learning to trust in science and philosophy to chart an unknown course based on mankind’s reasoning or his own understanding. Dear children, this worldly trust is completely foreign to our created souls (body and spirit) causing unimaginable consequences, as we shall see. On the other hand, we were created to trust in God exclusively.

This lack of trust in God, as the Creator of our souls, has led humanity to trust in self and the things that mankind has established.  It has led him to experiment with every strange doctrine, other world religions, and even open the abyss to the powers of darkness. This has led humanity to accept every perversion and to violate every commandment of God. As a result, this has allowed humanity to experience the consequences of their sins of not following what God had created us to be. Yes, you heard me correctly. To not follow what God has created us to be is a sin against our Creator. The consequence is to be left alone in the world without God’s indwelling Spirit to direct us, to perfect us by growing us from one degree of glory to another, and to protect us from the powers of darkness. Now, picture the fallen world that has rejected God as its Creator and has decided to live life without Him, and we see its consequences in the world today on the verge of Armageddon. Let’s be very clear that all the plagues, all the woes, and all the bowls of God’s wrath in the book of Revelation are not coming from a vengeful God, but from the consequences of humanity walking without God.

I hope that you are beginning to see the beauty and perfection of humanity that’s recreated in Christ. Our planet was created in perfection completely different from the rest of creation in the universe because it was created specifically for humanity, man and woman, created in the image of God. We know that the entire world was destroyed once before with water because in their vain imaginations, they turned away from their Creator. We are on the precipice of this happening once again because humanity has turned away from God, although this time the destruction will be by fire (II Peter 3:10-13). I have written previously, “Proof That the World is Ending” which goes into detail of how this will come about. My goal this time is to demonstrate that we cannot prevent or even slow down the inevitable unless we learn how to stop following the world and learn how to trust and follow God exclusively. Before we do, however, let us ponder the great and powerful wonder of walking in Christ as we were created to do. Let us look beyond the natural joy and blessings of being in Christ. Let us look much deeper at miraculous power and amazing wonder of becoming all that we were created to be.

Dear children, we will never experience anything beyond lukewarm Christianity if we don’t stop trusting in the world. Stop your godless searches on the internet that are becoming controlled more by algorithms and artificial intelligence. Godless politicians will never solve the problems facing a wayward world. Psychological counseling, even with all their drugs will never solve the problems facing humanity. Science will never explain the mystery of the universe or understand how to live life to its fullest on planet Earth. However, I have good news. God’s Son, Jesus Christ, promised to send the Holy Spirit to dwell with every new believer in Christ to help them to become all that they were created to be before the fall, before humanity turned away from God. Essentially His job as the indwelling Spirit is to take you back to the Garden of Eden to experience the new life in Christ free from Satan’s dominion and the power of the old sin nature. Every commandment of God written in the Holy Bible is designed to set you free from the old life of sin. Every commandment written on your heart by the indwelling Spirit is designed to show you the miracle and power of walking in Christ. Furthermore, the Spirit does not leave you alone but is with you every moment of every day, bringing forth great miracles, and always working everything together for the good. Even when the world starts to fall apart God’s faithful remnant continues to sing praises in their hearts knowing that they are resting securely in His mighty hands. No matter what happens they continue to rejoice that they are heaven bound.

The rest of the fallen world will be horrified by everything they see from the unchecked lawlessness in the streets to the perversions behind closed doors. The world will be in shock by the increase in unusually strong and devastating disasters explained away by global warming. As the fires begin to engulf cities, nuclear bombs begin to fall, and ravaging gangs are unleashed against the helpless, God’s children will know that humanity is experiencing the consequences of turning away from their Creator. As the sun continues to scorch humanity (Revelation 16:8-9) adding to the fires upon the planet, the world cries out in agony blaming everything and everyone, but they will never blame themselves for rejecting God and allowing every perversion to take place. I have written extensively about the first and second woe in the book of Revelation in my latest book “Annals of Prophetic Writings.” The First Woe (Revelation 9:1-11) describes the results on humanity for trusting in psychology since its conception in the sixth century and the Second Woe (Revelation 9:12-21) describes the results on humanity for trusting in the false teachings of Islam since its conception in 610 AD. Now we are on the verge of World War III and Armageddon as Iran seeks to enlist all the Muslim countries, of the Islamic faith, to come against Israel and her alliances in the West. Once the war starts it will drag in the remaining Eastern alliance of Russia, North Korea, and China to come against the West and America, known as Babylon. And great will be her fall (Revelation 18:1-24). “Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her” (Revelation 18:8).

Dear children, it is past time to start trusting in God exclusively and not trusting in the world. It is past time to be filled with the Spirit every moment of every day allowing Him alone to direct our path. It is past time to start walking in the power and majesty of our Creator becoming all that He wants us to become. Dear children, join the ranks of the faithful remnant and let the joy of the Lord and His love radiate out from yourself even in the midst of the Tribulation.  In conclusion, let’s listen to the voice from heaven, “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:4-5). Amen

Let God Lead You In Your Thinking

Leave a comment

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.

So, how do we let God lead us in our thinking? Simply put, we need to stay focused on the path ahead. You will quickly discover that everything in the world is designed to get you off the path and focused on the ways of the world. The Bible says, “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—“ (Ephesians 2:1-2, ESV). As we approach the end, most in the world, including many who claim to be Christians, are still spiritually dead in their trespasses and sins. They are still following the prince of the power of the air who has dominion over the entire world. This spirit is still at work in the sons of disobedience. Let that sink in! The whole world is being directed by the evil powers of the air by casting thoughts into their minds from the many different sources in the world. These sources have increased exponentially from social media, TV programs, YouTube videos, news media, and the internet. This is a never-ending voice that has only one task given to them by the powers of darkness. This one task is to keep you from hearing the voice of God through the indwelling Spirit. Again, Satan does not care what you listen to, he just does not want you to listen exclusively to the voice of God through the Spirit.

I will even take it a step further, Satan doesn’t even care if you read the Bible and read select scripture from the Bible, which is popular in social media postings and reels. Satan just does not want you to listen exclusively to the voice of God through the indwelling Spirit. I will never negate the importance of the Holy Bible. Let God lead you to one of the powerful letters, or amazing books in the Bible, asking God to open your spiritual eyes to understand the truth, then continue reading until you get to a place where you experience a warming in your heart; to a place where God desires to add this truth to your heart. Read the passage of Scripture over and over again allowing it to sink deeper and deeper into your heart. Ask God to speak to you through the Spirit concerning its meaning for the original recipients and what issues was God addressing at the time, then ask God what it means for me now, and how can I apply this truth to my life. Keep in mind God is only speaking to you, which may or may not apply for a larger audience. Keep in mind your walk with God is very personal because we are all at different levels of our Spiritual growth. What could apply to you may not apply to others, at least at this point. Just remember Satan’s job is to sow confusion among God’s children leading them in one direction and then another. As we shall see it is essential that we stay focused on our path ahead, the path that He has put us on.

You will soon discover if you are listening to the voice of God through the Spirit, then every path glorifies God alone in the fallen world, which is run by the powers of darkness.  Every thought and every action will essentially glorify God. This will help you immensely in discerning if you are listening to the voice of God or listening to another. Often, if we are honest, those other voices come from the old sin nature, which is supposed to die with Christ, so that it can be raised with Christ to a new bountiful life. Or those other voices come directly from the world, which we have already discussed briefly. This is a new phenomenon that would have shocked the previous generations of humanity, who had no access to modern technology that produced the television, YouTube videos, social media, news media, and the internet. This massive information coming at the speed of light to every corner of the planet is allowing Satan to implant these thoughts in humanity leading them to put their thoughts into action, thus following the ways of the world. Well, we can’t leave the world, but we can be in the world and not of the world (John 17:15-16).

Imagine with me for a moment living in the world a hundred years ago without all of this massive information coming at us. What would we do, how would we behave? Well, for the most part, our thoughts would be our own. They would either come from ourselves, from face-to-face relationships, from reading (if you were able), or from God. Now, Satan is ruling the world through the technology of massive information coming at you at the speed of light. We may not be able to leave the world, but we can enter into our proverbial closets by turning off all of the noise from the world. This is exactly how Jesus Christ says we should pray. We talked previously about embracing silence and solitude. This is what we do when we enter our proverbial closet and shut the door to the world and its massive amount of information coming at us. Stop listening to the world and learn how to tune your ears to only hearing the voice of God, that still small voice. Through discernment, we will cast out every vile thought, every thought that contradicts the clear teachings of the Bible, and every thought that resurrect feelings of past hurts that may have led to periods of unforgiveness. We learn to focus only on the truth as we embrace God’s presence in our proverbial closet.

The closer we draw to God in the Spirit an amazing thing begins to take shape in our lives. We are no longer interested in every little event thrown at us by the powers of darkness. We feel repelled by all the divisions in the world created by the powers of darkness causing one side to strike against the other. We feel repelled by all the conspiracy theories engineered by the powers of darkness to divide humanity so that they can be destroyed. We feel repelled by all the drama and run back to our proverbial closet to seek the presence of God through the Spirit. In time we learn how to confront the fallen world while staying separate from the world and all of its drama. We learn that this becomes possible through the power of love. We learn how to love and serve others without expecting anything in return. We learn how to give ourselves to others as Christ gave himself to the world. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him” (John 3:16-17). Yes, we come out of our proverbial closet in the power of the Spirit and His amazing love to impact the world for Christ. This is only possible when we stop listening to the world and start listening to God alone.

The Gospel Presentation

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, which explains the many difficulties that you are currently facing in your life. Well, I have good news, God has solved that problem by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was born of a virgin to show us the way to a beautiful new life in Christ. God has dealt with all of our sins past, present, and future by having His son pay the debt for our sins. Jesus Christ willingly went to the Cross in our stead by allowing all of the world’s sins to be placed upon Him as a sacrificial Lamb. As Christ hung on the Cross, the wrath of God was poured out on Him to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was buried for three days. On the third day, Christ arose from death to life everlasting. The good news is if we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then we will be forgiven for all of our sins and receive the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead us into all truth helping us in the transformation process of putting off the old life, allowing the old sin nature to die with Christ, and then putting on our new life in Christ by being raised with Christ to everlasting life. You can accept Christ today by confessing your sins to Him through a simple prayer asking Him to forgive you and make you into a new creation filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have done that, then you have just begun the greatest journey of your life that leads to heaven and eternal life. Welcome to the Kingdom.

Becoming Soldiers of the Cross

Leave a comment

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.

This one true path forward will shock most and cause many others to rebel against the clear teachings of God’s Holy Word. The first lesson is to learn that the devil has masqueraded himself as an angel of light (II Corinthians 11:14) to lead God’s precious children astray. We see this tremendously in today’s world where most of God’s children have joined the ranks of Satan believing that they are fighting against the powers of darkness. What if I told you both sides are evil, so evil, that the Catholic pope is telling his followers to vote for the lesser of two evils? I will take it a step further and ask why we should vote for any form of evil. Why should we join their ranks to fight against the other side? We need to have a completely different mindset by coming out from both sides and joining the Army of Light as soldiers of the Cross. Last week we wrote about our true defense by becoming a holy sanctuary, today we are writing about our true offense by becoming soldiers of the Cross. We will never defeat evil by joining the ranks of evil. Stop trusting in politics and their leaders to bring forth truth and righteousness, only God can do that through His army of light. So, how do we become true soldiers of the Cross?

Yes, you heard me right. We must move from a defensive posture to an offensive posture. This will be difficult for most, but not impossible by the grace of God. Before we move to an offensive position it’s absolutely imperative that we are a Holy Sanctuary for God through the Holy Spirit sitting on the throne in our hearts. We have the rules of engagement from God. We have both offensive and defensive weapons from God. We have all the Spiritual gifts from God to be used even in our day. We have God’s providence of opening and closing doors. We have the power of God to overcome every obstacle. We have the confidence of God. We will start with the rules of engagement. We will not follow the ways of the world that constantly finds fault in others, nor do we tear them down, or use vulgar language against them, which we see in every opposing political candidate. On the other hand, soldiers of the Cross will confront others with their sin but always in a way that leads them to a path of righteousness and an amazing joy in the Lord. We seek to discover their problems not to tear them down but to help them to overcome their problems with sound biblical counsel and a loving heart (Romans 15:14, Williams). We always speak words of exhortation, love, and encouragement.

As we put on the full armor of God, we immediately recognize both offensive and defensive weapons. Beginning with our defensive weapons we have the helmet of salvation always growing spiritually from one degree of glory to another, then we have our loins girded about with truth keeping us in God’s way as opposed to mankind’s way, which allows us to put on the breastplate of righteousness. With salvation, spiritual growth, and internalizing God’s truth, which allows us to put on the breastplate of righteousness, we will stand firm as God’s soldiers of the Cross. Now we come to the greatest defensive weapon, the shield of faith that quenches the fiery darts of the evil one. The powers of darkness are destroying humanity and the lukewarm church for their lack of faith. When fallen humanity stopped believing the truth that God has given us everything we need for life and godliness (II Peter 1:3), then they opened the door to psychology and the fiery darts of the wicked leading them into a life of bondage, endless counseling, and drug addiction. Until we have fully put on our defensive weapons of salvation, spiritual growth, biblical knowledge written on our hearts, and total faith in God, then the offensive weapons will be most difficult to use causing you to be less effective as a soldier of the Cross.

Now, we turn to the offensive weapons, the Gospel of peace, and the sword of the Spirit. The Gospel of peace does not storm capitals, or divide a nation with civil war, but it does break down the barrier that separates humanity from a loving God. The Gospel of Peace leads them out of bondage to the loving hands of Jesus Christ through repentance and death to self. Memorize the Gospel presentation below that leads to freedom and a new joyful life in Christ. Now, as God leads we take up the sword of the Spirit and brandish it against the evil one working in the souls of fallen humanity. The sword of the Spirit pulls on the Word of God written on your heart to counter every lie concocted by the devil. We wield the sword against every deception, every falsehood, and every scripture quoted out of context to prove a point or win an argument. With every Spiritual gift, we come against every virus, disease, sickness, and demonic possession. We are trusting in God’s providence to deliver everyone according to His divine will. We come against the outrageous lies of preachers, false prophets, and the political elite with all sufficient truth of God’s Holy word. Every time we wield the sword of the Spirit we wait for our all-powerful God to open and close doors. We never attempt to go through a closed door in our own power, but we wait for God to open the door. Many times we may need to simply shake the dust off our feet and move on.

Finally, we have the power and confidence in God to go where no man has gone before. As a soldier of the Cross, God will lead you to do things that you never thought possible. You will see miracles from entertaining angels unaware to seeing food multiplied on a barren table, and from casting out demons to witnessing people, that you have laid hands on, healed by the grace of God. You will see the darkest of sinners repent and grow into the most loving individuals. You will see people set free from the bondage of psychology and drug addiction, by overcoming their old problems and rejoicing in their new life in Christ. The greatest blessings are to see people participate in the divine nature, be filled with the Holy Spirit, and become effective soldiers of the Cross. This is all precipitated by God’s loving providence and through His magnificent power to overcome every obstacle. In the Spirit we see the doors opening for the next miracle of His grace. We feel His power radiate out from us to perform  His amazing miracle to the glory of God. In faith, we have a new sense of confidence never felt before, not in our ability but in God’s power. We can’t, but He can; and if we don’t, then He will. In conclusion, let me encourage you to connect with other soldiers of the Cross reaching out, together touching others, and changing the world for Christ. We are soldiers of the Cross walking in all of God’s blessings to the glory of God. Amen

We Are A Holy Sanctuary

Leave a comment

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.

We are a Holy Sanctuary. The first step is to ensure that we have allowed Jesus Christ to take His rightful place on the throne in the throne room of our hearts (John 14). We wrote extensively about this in my last article. Today we will go deeper by asking ourselves what are we exposing Christ to, through the indwelling Spirit, as He sits upon our throne. Let’s take our time and walk carefully through this question one step at a time. Let’s begin with our thoughts. If Christ, through the Holy Spirit, is really sitting on the throne of your heart, then He is exposed to your every thought. Think about that. Every thought. As we sit alone or even with others the mind is always thinking. We talked before about our vain imaginations that can consume our thinking for hours on end. Vain imaginings are often carried away by our desires and fantasies that go well beyond the reality of what Christ has planned for our lives. They often border on the malicious, the lawless, and sexual fantasy. The whole world has been led by the powers of darkness to enhance your vain imaginations through Hollywood movies, YouTube videos, and social media Reels. Again everything you watch or listen to is designed to enhance your vain imaginations and invites Christ to participate as He sits upon the throne in your heart. Our beautiful minds designed by God can also become trapped into thinking the same things over, and over again causing us to spiral further and further away from God and not being His Holy Sanctuary.

Essentially there are two traps of thinking that you can easily fall into, causing us think about something endlessly and even repeat it to others, time and again. The first trap is our unwillingness to truly forgive others. When we do, then it will stay in our minds to be dwelled upon indefinitely. Let that sink in. How do we know if we have truly forgiven someone who has wronged us? That’s simple. If we have truly forgiven them, then we will eventually forget it, if we use the three principles of forgiveness. First, we must no longer bring up the offense to the offending person. Secondly, we never bring up the offense to others, often done to garner their sympathy. Thirdly, and this is the most difficult, we never think about the offense but cast it out of our minds immediately, less than a millisecond. Again, dear children, all these thoughts go before Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit sitting on the throne in the throne room of your hearts. Because of our failure to forgive others, then God will not forgive us (Matthew 6:14-15). The Holy Sanctuary becomes tarnished allowing us to partake of God’s chastisement and suffer the depravity of missing out on so many of His wonderful blessings (Hebrews 12:6-8). The greatest motivation in truly forgiving others that leads to forgetfulness is keeping those horrific thoughts from our loving God by not allowing Him to participate in them.

The second trap that most believers fall into is being trapped in the past and specifically the deep valleys that we had encountered. I call this a trap because most will never forget the horrific valleys by repeating them again and again for many years. Because these stories have been repeated so often they tend to change over the years driving many into a deeper pit of depression. It can even cause anger at God or doubt His ability to make them into a brand-new creation where old things truly pass away. So, how do we get out of these traps set by the devil that keeps many in a static personality and not growing spiritually from one degree of glory to another? If you are stuck in the past you will never become all that God wants you to be. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is remove the scars. Simply put, you turn the scars into the loving providence of God (Romans 8:28). Instead of constantly thinking about the horrible pit and its debilitating effect upon us, we think about the lessons we learned and God’s amazing deliverance from the pit often caused by our own careless decisions. Memorize the previous sentence, which will remove the scars from the valley and replace it with an amazing testimony for Jesus Christ.

Yes, dear children the valleys are lessons to be learned often caused by making our own decisions instead of listening to Christ who should be sitting on the throne in your heart. But if we remove the scars and erase the old, tarnished memories by replacing them with God’s deliverance and anointed lessons, then we can construct a beautiful testimony to the glory of God. The Apostle Paul often did that causing the Spirit to write them in the Holy Bible (Acts 22:6-21). In each instance, the Apostle only briefly highlighted his difficulty but immediately stressed the deliverance by the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, which always led him into the Gospel and its amazing benefits through faith. The valleys were never magnified and repeated over and over, rather he always stressed the loving providence of God. He often stressed that when he was weak that through Christ he would become strong (II Corinthians 12:10). As we face uncertain days ahead, we cannot be stuck in lukewarmness being controlled by the powers of darkness, but we must turn our valleys into peaks by stressing God’s providential deliverance. Our lessons simply become our very short testimony leading us into the powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ. When we do, then we are a Holy Sanctuary with Jesus Christ on the throne. This is our only sure defense in the days ahead when the world completely falls apart.

Finally, as a Holy Sanctuary with Christ on the throne we not only guard our thoughts and memories, but we guard our eyes and ears. Yes, remember everything you watch or listen to will also be seen and heard by the Lord sitting on the throne of your heart. Now, I know most Christians don’t think about this as they face a troubled world. So, when they watch their silly little videos or watching movies endorsing perversions, the Bible says it grieves the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). When we grieve the Holy Spirit it does two things that will greatly impact our walk with Christ or our transformation in Christ. It will immediately cause the Spirit to weep and secondly, it will cause Him to withdraw from participating in your godless activity. Dear children, just because the lukewarm church has allowed the perversions to enter their doors, it doesn’t give us the liberty to bring the perversions before Christ sitting on the throne of our hearts. Let us be the Holy Sanctuary that Christ has created us to be. Listen to the angel and come out from among them so that we will not receive the plagues falling on humanity (Revelation 18:4-5). When you become the Holy Sanctuary then you will experience the greatest heavenly blessings of love and simplicity. You will also receive all the protection from the Father of Lights that holds everything together (James 1:17; Colossians 1:17, ESV). Please, dear children, let me encourage you today to be a Holy Sanctuary for the risen Lord through Holy Spirit. Amen

The Gospel Presentation

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, which explains the many difficulties that you are currently facing in your life. Well, I have good news, God has solved that problem by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was born of a virgin to show us the way to a beautiful new life in Christ. God has dealt with all of our sins past, present, and future by having His son pay the debt for our sins. Jesus Christ willingly went to the Cross in our stead by allowing all of the world’s sins to be placed upon Him as a sacrificial Lamb. As Christ hung on the Cross, the wrath of God was poured out on Him to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was buried for three days. On the third day, Christ arose from death to life everlasting. The good news is if we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then we will be forgiven for all of our sins and receive the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead us into all truth helping us in the transformation process of putting off the old life, allowing the old sin nature to die with Christ, and then putting on our new life in Christ by being raised with Christ to everlasting life. You can accept Christ today by confessing your sins to Him through a simple prayer asking Him to forgive you and make you into a new creation filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have done that, then you have just begun the greatest journey of your life that leads to heaven and eternal life. Welcome to the Kingdom.

In the Center of God’s Will

Leave a comment

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?

It’s a journey. We will allow God to take us by the hand and lead us back into the center of His magnificent will on earth as it is in heaven. It’s a journey! The first steps in the journey are the most critical. We must begin by putting sin on the cross that has tainted all of humanity. Sin has elevated self and put self on the throne in the throne room of our hearts. Once self is elevated, then it becomes the indisputable ruler or king, making all the decisions based on their own intellect. They always claim to know what’s best by running the numbers, doing their own research, or relying on their own gut feelings. Either way, through mind or emotions they make all the decisions facing their life on the planet. Here is the problem. The throne in the throne room of our hearts was never created for us to sit on. The throne was created by God for His Spirit to sit on (John 4:24). Therefore, it is essential that we get off the throne and allow God to take His rightful place on the throne as the rightful ruler of our lives. This is the most critical and the most difficult step for fallen humanity. We must allow God to rule in our lives. This is the majesty of our created nature, to live in the center of God’s will, every moment of every day. As we will soon discover, this is heaven on earth, as we experience the awe of God and His love ruling in our hearts.

So, what is the benefit of allowing God to sit on the throne in the throne room of our hearts? The biggest benefit is we can become all that God created us to be. With God sitting on the throne, then our transformation in Christ becomes much easier. It becomes easier because God is love. Imagine with me for a minute how it feels to have all of God’s love flowing into our lives. For the first time in our lives, we experience true agape love touching every fiber of our being. As my dear Grace shared with me it’s like a heavenly light all around us eager to get out and touch others for Christ. This heavenly light is God’s powerful love that cannot be bottled up but must be given to others. We are getting an amazing insight into how God’s eternal love works, which flows from God to us and through us to others. In a nutshell, this is God’s will for our lives. Every step of the way, as we shall see, the old sin nature must be confronted and put to death back on the cross. Many of us have gone for years allowing self to reign in our hearts learning how to force our will on others and always seeking what we considered best for ourselves even if it hurt others. So, in the next step of our journey, we must learn how to no longer live for ourselves but how to live for others. We will also learn how to allow God to love others through us, in so doing we will be living in the center of God’s will.

So, how do we live for others and no longer live for ourselves exclusively? This too is most difficult, because we have learned from the crib how to exclusively live for ourselves. Our own needs became paramount causing us to overlook the needs of others. When God takes His rightful place on the throne this will all change. God’s desire since the dawn of creation was to love us individually and to love others through us. That is God’s will. Here is the miracle of love. The more we love others the more God’s love flows down to us and through us. We simply cannot out-love God. The more we give the more we get from God. Dear children as we progress in allowing God’s love to flow through us the more we understand that God’s love is for everyone. We can rebuke others for their sins or hold them accountable, but it cannot negate our love for them. It is God’s love through us to others that will open their eyes and open the door to share the simple Gospel, printed below. This love will open our eyes to their real needs, which gives us an opportunity to meet those needs. However, we need to go deeper to understand how to meet those real needs that don’t typically lie on the surface. We must go well beyond their felt needs to their real needs. To do this we will progress to the next step by learning how to really listen, which is in itself an act of true love.

So, how do we listen, really listen to others? The old sin nature loves to listen to self. People have been known to go from one topic to another without barely taking a breath. They can literally go on for hours. Let me be clear, this trait is not just among women but is prevalent in both biological sexes. So, yes listening can be difficult at times but not impossible because until we learn how to listen we will never know their real needs and how to discern when a door of opportunity opens up for sharing the Gospel. We must realize that the mind is multifunctional, that is, it can pretend to listen and think about something else at the same time. Or more to the point the mind can pretend to listen and also think about its next response when it gets an opportunity or an opening. So, the first task in learning to listen is to clear our minds of all thoughts, except reading their body language, which is an important element of listening, not to determine your response at this point, but simply to clarify what they are speaking as you continue your listening. Again, to discover their real needs we must learn to really listen. To prove that we have been listening we must respond with what we heard for either clarification or additional information needed.

Finally, to be in the center of God’s will, we hear the still small voice of God directing our path. In the beginning, this will take a lot of discernment. The best thing we can do to hone our discernment is to always check God’s word to ensure that the voice is truly coming from God and not our old sin nature that will always attempt to trip us up. God will not violate His word, the Holy Bible. Furthermore, let me also stress that we interpret God’s word in its original context, simply put, what was God talking about. You may need to read the whole chapter or the whole Psalm. It may even be necessary to read the whole book. What is God addressing, what is He talking about. Put the verse in context. The good news is in time God will write His words from the Bible on our hearts making it much easier to discern the voice of God. The Spirit will bring those words back to our memory. In addition to discernment, we also have the genuine feeling from the indwelling Spirit agreeing with the word of God and the still small voice. All three must agree. The still small voice of God, the Biblical Word in context, and the indwelling Spirit must all agree. When they do, then God’s children must step out in faith following God’s will in obedience. As we follow in obedience, then we are living in the center of God’s will realizing all the joyous moments filled with His glory. We become the true lights of the world shining forth God’s magnificent light filled with His self-giving agape love.
