The Sins of the Mind

In my last two articles, we discussed rising above the white noise and the darkness covering the entire planet. Today we will go much deeper by examining the sins of the mind that no one can see. They are so well hidden in the mind, if they are not properly dealt with, then they will become your undoing as Satan leads you through the gates of hell without you ever noticing it. As God’s children, we must recognize the sins of the mind so that we can overcome them. Most every true believer in Christ recognizes the outward sins of what we do and what we say. However, very few recognize the sins of the mind, which encompasses every thought and every imagination. The Bible makes it abundantly clear that every unrighteous thought and vain imagination can be seen as committing the trespass in our hearts. We will be held accountable for every unrighteous thought and every vain imagination not dealt with properly. That is, they must be cast out of our minds immediately, less than a nanosecond. This will take a lot of hard work observing every thought or imagination, deciding instantly if it’s evil, and then successfully casting it out, if necessary, again and again. The good news is that we can trust in God’s grace to be with us every step of the way, ready to forgive every trespass after we have cried out to Him in true repentance. Now, let’s look closely at the sins of the mind most often overlooked to our own detriment.

These sins of the mind can not only damage our relationship with God, but they can also cause a multitude of emotional and psychological problems, along with physical maladies in certain cases. Let’s start with the more obvious sins of the mind, then we will look at those not-so-obvious and extremely dangerous to our well-being. The more obvious sins of the mind commit the trespass in our minds by visualizing it in every detail. Jesus said, “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). Clearly, this is also applicable to women lusting after men. Lust is actualized from undressing the other to committing the sexual act, and everything in between. The vain imagination could carry the mind even further away with no limit to the imagination. This template could be used for every imaginable sin from beating someone up in our mind to plotting how to get revenge, from destroying their good name to any other number of vicious scenarios. We will be held accountable for every trespass imagined in the mind that would violate one of God’s Holy Commandments. The list could go on, but you get the picture.

Our God of creation gave humanity a wonderful gift of the mind to think complex thoughts and use our imagination to only glorify God. Sadly, however, many use their wonderful imagination to create fantasies to gratify their own selfish longings instead of using them to glorify God. Their imagination takes them well beyond the created order of things and God’s loving providence to entertaining vain imaginations that can easily lead them into every manner of sin. These vain imaginations can imagine such things as becoming so rich and powerful that they can spend countless hours imagining how they will spend their money. Their vain imagination can believe they will make the greatest discovery or become the most renowned person in history by fixing ailing humanity and making the world great again. For many years now, movies have helped humanity to expand their imagination by embracing futuristic ideas and creating every new storyline or fantasy imaginable. Some people have vainly imagined that they have had the most unbelievable spiritual or even out-of-body experiences and that they have heard God continually sharing things that are well beyond accepted Biblical doctrine. Dear children, vain imaginations in the mind, especially about spirituality, are very dangerous and can open the doors to Satan and his horrific powers of darkness. There is no limit to the imagination circumventing the will of God and his divine providence for our lives. Remember, there was a time when the entire world was destroyed by the flood, because of their vain imaginations (Genesis 6:5-8. Vain imagination is clearly a sin of the mind.

Our God of creation gave humanity the amazing gift of memory. Humanity can remember every detail of past events either bringing great joy or horrific devastation to their hearts. I have always said that our God is the greatest psychologist because He created us and knows everything about our mind and how it works. Bad memories can cause devastating problems, both emotionally and psychologically. Bad memories can be caused by many things but primarily from being wronged by others, real or unreal. Typically, when this happens humanity dwells on this bad memory causing it to grow exponentially. Also, when they tell others to get their sympathy the bad memory grows even more horrible. These bad memories can cause untold psychological problems that can stay with them for years. It is not uncommon for a person dwelling on a bad memory for many years to allow the slightest similar transgression from another person to cause them to relive the trauma of the bad memory as if it had just happened. These people suffer greatly because of their bad memories because they refuse to follow God’s counsel on how to get rid of these bad memories. How tragic that many believers turn to the world for a remedy through a lifetime of psychotropic drugs and endless counseling.

The Bible says, “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 6:14-15). This is beautiful counsel from the throne of God. Bad memories can be erased by forgiving others as God forgives us. If we truly forgive others from the heart, then God will not only forgive us, but He will become our advocate against the evil-doer. Remember, God said, vengeance is mine, saith the lord (Romans 12:19). To forget means that we can no longer dwell on the trespass against us. We can no longer tell others to gain their sympathy. This also disqualifies group therapies that keep the trespass alive. Once we have turned it over to God, and the authorities if necessary, then we will have put ourselves in a position to forget. You will treat this bad memory like any other sin that the devil wants you to dwell on by bringing it up to your memory again and again. We must overcome this by casting out the memories immediately. Satan and the spirit of Antichrist are destroying the minds of fallen humanity allowing them to suffer the consequences of their sins by experiencing every emotional and psychological problem imaginable. We must resist the devil. The Bible says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

I hope you are beginning to see that correct thinking is very important for our well-being. The good news is that God has given us the power to overcome every thought or memory that enters our minds. Yes, casting out the evil thought, the vain imagination, and the bad memories are essential but to truly overcome we must learn how to immediately replace the bad with the good. The Bible is replete with examples of replacing evil with the good. Study Ephesians 4:17-32, which talks about putting off the old life and putting on the new life. These are great examples that can be applied to every area of life. When you cast out an evil thought or memory replace it immediately with a righteous thought or a good memory. Memorize Philippians 4:8 that gives us a list of righteous thoughts and a way to prove our good memories. Dear children, as we approach the end, remember that God will hold us accountable for every evil thought, bad memory, and vain imagination. So, let us stand firm by thinking only righteous thoughts and rejoicing in good memories. Moreover, to be free from bad memories and vain imaginations will allow you to be completely transformed in Christ Jesus experiencing the ecstasy of heavenly bliss. It will allow you through faith to experience God’s amazing love flowing through you to others. Please dear children control what you think about in your minds, it is the doorway to everlasting joy and a peace that defies understanding.

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.

The Coming Image of the Beast

Israel and the Jewish people are still expecting the Messiah because they have rejected Jesus Christ as the true Messiah. Now that the Jewish people are firmly planted back in the Holy Land, the land of their ancestors, their expectation has grown more pronounced. Many of the conservative majority want all the land from the river to the sea. Some want to see their Temple rebuilt in its original location on the Holy Mount. Although this may seem quite impossible at this juncture, there is one coming who could easily make it a reality. The Jewish people have made deep inroads into many countries, especially in America. They have become entrenched in leadership roles in government, entertainment, education, and technology. Their technological advancements in Israel and their host countries are unprecedented. Although they may appear to be hated by every nation because of their economic advancements, it only appears that way. The diaspora has made them a viable part of every country. Because of their religious roots, they are deeply loved by the Christian community. No matter what corner of the world they are in, their national ambitions have not changed as they fervently anticipate the arrival of their messiah, yet they are unaware that he will be the Beast in the book of Revelation (Revelation 13:11-18).

Well, they are not the only ones anticipating the arrival of their Messiah, or Christ. The Christian community has been anticipating the return of Jesus Christ for over two thousand years. Although most believe that Christ will triumphantly return in the clouds to rapture His elect children just before the end of the world, some believe that He will come prior to the Great Tribulation. Either way, no sound biblical follower of Christ believes that He will come back to rule the world. Most Christians believe that the Beast or the false messiah will rise up in great power to rule the entire world prior to the end. Although we have not gotten to that point yet, this short thesis details the many things put into place to hail his coming as a man of peace and prosperity. We will examine the many miracles that will lead the entire world to worship and adore his leadership. As we shall see he will cut through the veil of every religion to capture the hearts of all humanity, with the exception of the elect in Christ. His coming will truly separate the wheat from the tares validating the great falling away.

The Holy Bible says, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (II Thessalonians 2:3-4). This false Christ (the Messiah translated in Hebrew) goes by many different names, each to show his character. We read here in this text the man of sin and the son of perdition. We will also discover that he is known as the man of lawlessness, the Antichrist, and the dreaded Beast in the book of Revelation. Whatever we choose to call him, he will have great power garnering the worship of all humanity. What we learn in the above text is there is no escaping this powerful man if we are still alive. We will either be counted among the elect, or we will worship the Beast, irrespective of what we call him. Through God’s grace, I can give you all the warnings, but nothing will stop you from worshipping this false Messiah except being a part of God’s elect children. We need to be clear on this point so that we will not be deceived.

Yes, this deception is very strong because Satan has been working for many years to draw the whole world away from serving and trusting in God exclusively. Perhaps it started with science and later with technology that has led humanity to trust in something beyond the information in the Bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Although the roots of scientific discovery have been around for nearly 4000 years, it wasn’t until the 17th century that modern science developed instruments to examine the world more closely. Through observation and experimentation, theories were developed for all of life concerning our place in the universe. Other disciplines were developed to understand the physical and mental health of humanity. Step by step slight divergences from Holy Scripture were more widely accepted. The wholesale acceptance of the evolution of life from a tadpole or a monkey decimated humanity’s belief in the creation of man in the garden of Eden. Moreover, it destroyed our belief that the heavens and the earth were created in seven literal days. The moment humanity began to trust in scientific discovery it questioned the authority and ability of God’s Word to solve all of our problems from planetary destruction to mental health issues.

I have written extensively about how God has given us everything we need for life and godliness (II Peter 1:3-4). As humanity ventures further away from God, we have seen a staggering increase in lawlessness, immoral behavior, and mental health issues. Instead of turning back to God who has the ability to fix all the problems ailing humanity, they have trusted the professionals of psychiatry to give them endless counseling and an increasing array of psychiatric drugs.  This movement away from God and trusting in scientific discovery has entered every area of society. It has permeated public education, entertainment, government policymaking, and even the local church. This movement away from God and trusting in scientific discovery has prepared humanity to trust in technology to not only solve their problems but to open up vistas of unimaginable possibilities. We have all held technology in our hands with the hope that it will improve our ability to function in the modern world. We have grown accustomed to the never-ending upgrades and innovations that have consumed even more of our time driving us further away from personal face-to-face relationships and exploring God’s beautiful creation. Every day, we draw nearer to the emergence of the second beast of Revelation, known as the false prophet. This false prophet along with the scientific community will construct the image of the Beast, giving it life and causing it to speak (Revelation 13:15).

Satan has already given the whole world something else to trust in other than trusting in God exclusively. We have grown accustomed to trusting in the scientific discoveries and the developing technologies that absolutely amaze us. As humanity is driven further away from God, Satan knows that there is a religious instinct that is embedded deeply into the hearts of every man, woman, and child. We have been created to worship and trust in our Creator. This instinct has spawned many different world religions and occult practices to satisfy the spiritual needs of humanity. So, it’s essential that Satan satisfies this need by raising up the second beast or the false prophet to lead humanity to believe that they can attain the highest truth on their own, which gives them the ability to achieve all that life has to offer. This false prophet will boastfully proclaim that humanity under his direction can obtain a dynamic connection with their environment and have the ability to solve all the planetary issues from global warming to infectious diseases. The false prophet will continually stress that the power is within yourself, in essence making you, your own god, having no need for God, or the higher power of other world religions and occult practices. His aim is to ultimately drive you to the altar of Satan in worship and obedience. This is clearly happening in our world today.

Furthermore, this will be accomplished through false promises and amazing miracles beyond belief. One miracle spoken of in the book of Revelation is his ability to cause fire to fall down from heaven (Revelation 13:13). This miracle is twofold, showing his great power and his ability to defeat all of his enemies upon the earth. Knowing that this false prophet, the second beast, will arise in the Western world and become the long-awaited messiah of the state of Israel, he will reign down fire upon all the enemies of Israel to obtain their dying allegiance. There are many more miracles to validate his many promises of peace on earth and prosperity among all of its inhabitants. Every miracle from calming the storms to eradicating the smog and pollution in the world’s great cities to the ruthless crackdown on unsanctioned wars and open hostilities against one another. In every perceived miracle he will drive humanity further away from the one true God and closer to trusting in themselves and the great power of the beast. There is one more miracle that will get all of humanity on the same page. It was no accident that Satan raised up all the social media platforms to allow everyone to openly express their own beliefs and opinions, which has ruthlessly divided the entire world.

The last miracle is to establish unity of faith and opinions in the entire world of wayward humanity. Although there will be a lot of trust in the false prophet that has reached beyond the veil of most world religions and occult practices, it will take one more miracle to convince humanity that there is only one truth. The false prophet, the second beast, will create an image of Satan, the first beast, to be worshipped by all of humanity. The Bible says, “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). We have had life-size robots and artificial intelligence for some time now that can both speak and answer simple questions, but now we are entering a new day of amazing discoveries in technology. There has been an almost unhindered race towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), with some sounding an alarm of a potential threat against humanity. These alarms have come from both the scientific community and the senior staff of those creating AGI. Some of the latest discoveries have indicated that AGI has passed some initial reasoning beyond simply quoting from the vast trove of information on the internet and has solved some elementary math problems.

However, it has also been stated that AGI using an advanced algorithm called Q* was able to surpass the security encryption creating unknown mathematical equations. Yet now everything seems to be covered up with no further information on its advances. We are not surprised, because this would be an extremely powerful entity that could crack the encryption of the entire planet. Although this could give AGI and its selected users unlimited power in the intelligence community, what concerns us most at this juncture will be its ability to make profound statements concerning it’s definition of the truth and require all of humanity to accept and believe it. This will create a unity of thought and beliefs among all of humanity that removes God from the equation. AGI, or image of the beast, will also have the ability to assign an unencrypted number to every soul on the planet requiring that they use it to adhere to the new stated truths for humanity. Of course, mankind’s failure to accept their number and agree with the stated truths would cause them to be killed. This is far worse than some science-fiction movie that has the fear of nuclear annihilation caused by AGI. Satan’s plan from the beginning is not total annihilation but total control, bringing all of humanity to the altar of the beast to worship him alone.

Dear children, amongst the coming chaos and the great divisions in society, the image of the beast will bring forth an unimaginable solidarity among the inhabitants of the world. This will be his greatest miracle of establishing unity, peace, and prosperity. Only God’s elect children will see through this deception that leads the entire world to stop trusting in God exclusively. As the whole world trust in the false prophet and the image of the Beast, God’s elect children will come out from the world by rising above the white noise that has taken the whole world captive by teaching them they are on the side of righteousness fighting against evil. In reality they are no longer trusting in God exclusively. They no longer believe that God has given them everything they need for life and godliness. They no longer believe in the simple Gospel printed below. So, this will make it extremely easy to believe everything the false prophet and the image of the Beast says, that they are entering a golden age of peace and prosperity.  This will make it very easy to worship and adore all that they are doing. Beware of the deception, dear children, before it’s too late.

Please Join Me in Prayer

Good Morning Heavenly Father. We pray, Father God, that you open the eyes of your beloved children in these last days, so that they will not be deceived. Father I pray that you show them the major causes of this deception. The moment we pick up the reigns and attempt to do things on our own or pretend that all that we choose to do is your will, without asking, puts us in grave danger of being deceived. Proclaiming and confessing apart from listening to your still small voice has led many down the path of false prophecy and being deceived by the powers of darkness. Furthermore, Oh Lord, when they struggle against evil on their own, without your direction, it too can cause them to miss the bigger picture of being deceived thus falling in line with Satan’s agenda. Dear Father, please open their eyes and lead them to only follow your direction while trusting in you exclusively. We pray that your children will rise above the white noise of deception and spend ample time in their prayer closet listening to your still small voice. Teach them how to listen. We pray this in the glorious Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” (II Thessalonians 2:3).

The Third Woe Ends the War

The war for the souls of mankind has been raging for over two thousand years. In my last two articles, we looked at the first two woes, demonstrating that they both began in the first century, even though their greatest effect upon fallen humanity wasn’t realized until the sixth century. Moreover, these two woes have progressively gotten worse through the centuries until the present day. Today, we will look at the third woe that corresponds with the seventh trumpet giving us a glimpse at the end from the beginning; a time of great rejoicing in heaven because the war has finally been won. (Read Revelation 11:14-19). Hallelujah! It’s essential to understand that the Book of Revelation is not a static prophecy, nor a prophecy encapsulated for some future date. It is a very dynamic prophecy relevant for every age giving us direction, hope, and encouragement to stand firm in the midst of the war being waged for the souls of humanity. To fully understand the third woe, it will be necessary to review six chapters in the Book of Revelation and the important interludes, four separate acts, that we will discuss as they appear in the Book of Revelation. Bear with me during this heart-stopping drama, for it’s well worth the journey.

Before the seventh trumpet announces the third woe, the Church needs to understand its role in the war effort. (Read Revelation 10:1-11) Act One. The beautiful symbolism of the prophet eating the “Little Scroll” demonstrates that he (or the church’s prophetic witness) will receive a deeper understanding of this prophecy in each of their respective ages. It also promises that they will fully understand the prophecy in the final hours of the war being waged against humanity by the powers of darkness. The “Seven Thunders” indicates that the mystery of God is not about kingdoms and earthly powers but about proclaiming the transformation of every man in Christ as the key to winning the war. Act Two. Once the Church truly understands the prophetic message then they will effectively stand against the worldly powers propped up by Satan. This effective witness is symbolized by the “Two Witnesses” (Read Revelation 11:1-13) As long as the Church’s witness is focused on personal evangelism, they have great power (See II Corinthians 10:4-6). However, in the last hour, the coming Beast will kill the witness of the Church by causing them to focus on the wrong battle by following him in his political and legalistic endeavors to build his kingdom here on earth (Revelation 13:1-10). When the witness of the Church is finally destroyed, the Beast or the Antichrist (now clearly recognizable by the faithful remnant) will lead the world into a time of great jubilation and dancing in the streets as they send gifts one to another. His coming will also be accompanied by a great earthquake signifying a great shakeup in the world system.

After the seventh trumpet announces the third woe, there is a very important heavenly and historical interlude. Act Three. (Read Revelation 12:1-6) In this Act, we see a war being waged in heaven between the Church (the woman) and the Dragon (Satan). Clearly, what we see happening in heaven is also happening on the earth. The old church, faithful Israel, is seen bringing forth its Savior through the man-child of Jesus Christ. Immediately, Satan tried to devour the child as He escaped to Egypt where God protected Him (see Revelation 12:6). This interlude is very important to the prophecy because it shows us that the war started in heaven long ago before Christ came to earth to save humanity and show them how to win the war that’s being waged against their souls. Act Four. (Read Revelation 12:7-17) In this Act, the prophecy helps us to understand how critical the war effort is for all of humanity, as we realize that Satan has been cast out of heaven making earth his new battleground. Let that sink in! There is no escaping the fact that this war that’s been raging since the first century is for world domination particularly the domination of God’s children. The Bible says, “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17). Don’t think for a minute that God’s children can find refuge in a world leader. Our only refuge is in Christ (John 10:28).

Now, we come to the central figure of the Third Woe, the Beast coming out of the sea (Read Revelation 13:1-10). Although the Beast and the powers of darkness have come against the Church in every age (I John 2:18), in the last hour his attacks on humanity and God’s beloved children, in particular, will be unconscionable. His greatest power will be deception. The dragon (Satan) gave the Beast “his power, and his seat, and great authority” (see Revelation 13:2). This is much more than just physical power, it’s spiritual power, the power of persuasion, and deception to lead millions astray. I should not be surprised that his followers will worship the dragon (Satan) because he gave his power to the Beast (see Revelation 13:4) Before you object, anyone who does not surrender their life completely to the Lordship of Jesus Christ is already under control of the evil one following his lead, first in their thoughts, then in their actions. I believe many will worship anyone, including Satan, who would allow them to build “a brave new world!” A world with no restrictions or condemnations from religion. We cannot make the world “Great Again” through the political process. Perhaps, what’s most disturbing to me is that he will overcome the saints (see Revelation 13:7). Most will be overcome because they are no longer fighting the war by winning people to Christ but are trying to legislate morality through their political party or forcing people to do what they believe to be righteous and just. To reject God’s methodology in saving souls accepts what the devil offers, which will untimely lead to unleashed immorality, beyond Sodom and Gomorrah. Dear children, let’s not fight the wrong battle and lose the war.

This first Beast in the last hour has a lot of help from the religious type of Beast (or the second Beast) (Read Revelation 13:11-18). Perhaps, this has been the problem from the beginning where religious leaders are propping up their favorite dictator or simply those willing to fulfill the desires of the lukewarm Church. Throughout Church history, they have always worked hand in hand, especially the Catholic Church, which often used their military might to keep their people in line through Papal Bulls, the Inquisitions, or to fulfill their will in conquering other nations. Now, it’s a new day but the Revelation continues. The second Beast brings forth many mighty miracles that amaze all of humanity from Artificial General Intelligence to facial recognition, and from robotic technology to human implants for tracking or psychological control. He will build an Image of the Beast, which has the ability to both speak and require humanity to take a mark and worship the first Beast (the Antichrist or the Man of Lawlessness). Read again carefully Revelation 13:14-15. Exactly how the Image of the Beast (AGI) will lead humanity to worship the first Beast and take the mark (implant, tracking device, or some other invisible mark) is not known at this point. Just keep in mind that whatever they do and how they do it will be extremely deceptive, and most will not even realize that they are worshipping the Beast, taking the mark, or the name of the Beast, or the number of his name (Revelation 13:17).

At this point, we are probably thinking we could use some encouragement, especially if there is just a glimmer of a possibility that we will be here when all this happens. Well, I am delighted to tell you the whole next chapter of the book of Revelation is dedicated to doing just that, giving us encouragement, direction, and hope. Please read Revelation 14:1-20. The glories of heaven await God’s chosen and beloved children, who will not be marked by the Beast and his evil powers of darkness but will have on them the seal and name of their Father in heaven (Ephesians 1:13-14). We take great encouragement that we are now and always will be in the company of the Lamb of God. As God’s holy angels go forth into the whole world preaching the everlasting Gospel (Revelation 14:6-7), we don’t sit idly by but continue in great patience obeying the commandments of God and remaining faithful to Jesus. We also to do our part in the war effort against the powers of darkness by joining God’s holy angels in sharing the everlasting gospel (See the Gospel Presentation below) and going through the open doors of opportunity they give to us, as we are led by the indwelling Spirit. There’s still hope for the wicked if they repent. We rejoice and have hope that the war will finally end with God’s righteous judgment coming upon fallen humanity to right all wrongs for the many centuries of hate and persecution directed toward His people, the true Church.

In the next three chapters, we see the climax of the third woe and the end of the war between the powers of darkness and the holiness of God. The Bible says, “And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God” (Revelation 15:1). We have seen plagues from the hand of God for over two thousand years. While it woke up some in their slumber, unfortunately, most continued on their merry way and on the path to eternal damnation. Even with an increase in the number and strength of hurricanes, earthquakes, and forest fires engulfing whole cities, along with the latest pandemic, most are still making excuses as they close their ears to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God wishes no one to be lost, so He leaves His faithful remnant in place to continue sharing the Gospel with the hope that with the final plagues and outpouring of His wrath, fallen humanity will repent of their wickedness and turn back to God.

In the four trumpets, we saw a much gentler persuasion with only a partial outpouring of God’s wrath on fallen humanity. In each plague, there is only a partial devastation. A third part of the trees are burnt up; a third part of the creatures in the sea die; a third part of the rivers and freshwater are polluted causing many men to die, and only a third part of the sky is darkened because of air pollution also causing many to die (Read Revelation 8:7-12). Even in the first two woes, only a third of humanity is affected but now it will be much different. Multiply all of our current calamities by three and you will get an idea of what’s soon to come. In each of these final bowls of God’s wrath to be poured out there will be complete and total devastation. Read Revelation 16:1-17, noisome and grievous sores will fall upon on every man, which had the mark the Beast and worshipped his image; every living soul in the sea will die; rivers and freshwater are totally polluted; all men are scorched with great heat from the sun; the kingdom of the Beast is cast into utter darkness; the kings of the east are gathered for the great and final battle of Armageddon, and then a very mighty earthquake strikes, worse than the world has ever seen. Now ask yourself: Do you want to face this alone or do you want to face it under the power and protection of our Lord? Then, also consider your family and friends. Which is more important, saving the aspirations of your political party, keeping your trusted friends on social media, or the salvation of souls and winning the war? If you fight the wrong battle, you will lose the war. Dear Christian, be transformed in Christ now and start snatching people from the coming fires of eternal damnation by proclaiming the simple truth of the Gospel stated below.

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.

GREAT DECEPTION – Is Not What You Think

When the Antichrist or the Beast of the Book of Revelation finally appears like an angel of light he will not be who he appears to be. The Bible says, “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (II Corinthians 11:14). How can such evil be transformed into what appears to be so holy and righteous? This is the great deception that is already coming upon the whole world. How will God’s children, His faithful remnant, prepare for such a time as this when the entire world is being led astray and are being taught how to worship the Beast, either publicly or in the sanctuary of their own homes? Deception is an interesting concept that must clearly be understood if we are to recognize the signs that are being unveiled. Deception is given one spoonful at a time or by such small measures over time that the larger population will never notice until it’s too late. The other key to understanding deception is that much larger events will be unveiled to take your eyes off what is really happening behind the scenes, one step at a time, to deceive you and the rest of the world population. Deception causes many different events to happen to keep your mind preoccupied, which is one of Satan’s oldest tricks. Continue reading GREAT DECEPTION – Is Not What You Think

When Does Lying Become Lying Deception

Most people have told a little white lie and not thought too much about it because it was a slight exaggeration of the facts. While others have told an outrageous lie to conceal the entire truth. Well, dear children, no matter the size, either a little white lie or an outrageous lie, to God it is still a lie and a sin. And every sin has its consequences (Galatians 6:7). Today, I would like to speak to you about when lying becomes lying deception, typically a sin orchestrated by the powers of darkness. This is a sin so grievous in the sight of God that it will receive the same punishment as the devil and his powers of darkness. It is essential that we learn what lying deception is or what it means, so we don’t fall into this horrific sin against our holy God. We need to learn when lying becomes lying deception putting us in league with the devil. Sadly this explanation will shock a lot of God’s children never realizing that their lies have become lying deception putting them in a very dangerous position with God. It will put them in a position to reap the full unmeasured consequences of their sin. Continue reading When Does Lying Become Lying Deception
