Mental Ascent to Heavenly Bliss

Leave a comment

It is the Spirit of God that helps us to make the mental ascent to heavenly bliss. Without the Spirit, it would be impossible. Without the beautiful mind created by God, it would be impossible. It’s not only possible for the followers of Jesus Christ, but also essential to maintain our sanity in a world gone mad. All the hateful rhetoric and all the horrible actions of humanity begin in the mind. As we fast approach the End of Time, Satan and the powers of darkness have taken over total control of what most people think even if they vehemently deny it. Satan wants your mind. Thoughts from the enemy come in like a flood leading humanity to think the most horrendous thoughts even if they don’t express those thoughts openly. Often those thoughts from the enemy will return again and again leading most to dwell on those thoughts for hours at a time as if they were their own thoughts. As a believer, if you are honest, you too have had to contend with these unwarranted thoughts invading your space more than you realize. Thoughts from the enemy often sneak in when you least expect them to tempt you to entertain the thought even if it’s only for a brief moment in time. Today we will talk about how to guard your thoughts so that every thought, even for the briefest amount of time, will be pleasing to God.

So, how can we as believers in Christ guard our beautiful minds from the malicious thoughts of the enemy? The simple answer is we must continuously fill our minds with righteous and heavenly thoughts every moment of every day. Yes, you can do this even while you are working in the real world which may require a great deal of concentration for efficiency and your safety. Our minds have the ability to multitask, which means we have the ability to think about one thing while concentrating on a difficult task or to do two similar tasks at the same time. Satan and the powers of darkness know this truth and are always ready to interject an unexpected thought into our minds. Yes, some of these ungodly thoughts can also come from the old sin nature. Mankind has been given beautiful minds that have the ability to control what it thinks about contrary to what the professionals of mental health or the medical profession have to say. In extreme cases, actual brain damage could seriously affect the person’s ability to form rational thoughts. On the other hand, the majority of mankind can control their thoughts, either introduced by Satan or from the old sin nature.

Typically most believers can easily differentiate the thoughts introduced by Satan and the thoughts, that come from the old sin nature. Furthermore, most believers can determine if the thoughts come from the Spirit that typically directs us on our path of righteousness and leads us in our service to the Lord. The thoughts coming from the powers of darkness are almost immediately discerned as totally unethical and opposed to the clear teachings of the Holy Scripture. These sudden thoughts can shock our sensibilities, which must be dealt with immediately by rebuking Satan and casting out the unwanted thoughts. Whereas the thoughts from the old sin nature tend to be much more subtle and easily accepted, which are absorbed into our consciousness. These thoughts are often driven by our selfishness, lust, pride, and our unwillingness to forgive others. They can be manifested in hate, anxiety, anger, and extended periods of depression. There is only one way to deal with these sinful thoughts, we must truly repent to receive the refreshing waters of forgiveness to clear our minds. Although we can rebuke the unwanted thoughts of the enemy, seek God’s forgiveness through repentance for our unethical thoughts, and even welcome the Holy Spirit, we still need to guard our every thought by determining what we think about. The Bible gives us exactly what we should be thinking about every moment of every day. Our best defense is a good offense.

So, let’s look at a good offense available for every believer to guard our beautiful minds against every malicious attack from Satan or an unrelenting thought from the old sin nature. The biblical offense is recorded in the letter to the Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8 (please carefully read this before proceeding). This offensive measure is like entering a beautiful circular staircase reaching up to heaven. With each step, you get closer to heaven’s glory. These are the things we should all fill our minds with from being a spiritual novice with the first step of embracing all truth to the last step of embracing all praise, which enters the heights of spiritual ecstasy and heavenly bliss. Thinking “whatsoever things are true” will separate us from a world of lies, deception, propaganda, and conspiracy theories. We will only focus on the unchangeable truth that gives us the answers for all of life. We will absorb all of the infinite wisdom that will uncover the greatest mysteries of the universe. Think only about these things and not about all the new scientific discoveries and the current news stories coming at us at the speed of light. The second step up the beautiful staircase of life is to fill our minds with “whatsoever things are honest.” We have witnessed all the dishonesty in the fallen world from cheating others for financial gain to peddling products of inferior workmanship. Let our every thought be honest with others even if we must take a personal loss of both time and money. Every thought should be prefaced with, “Is this honest and does it violate the truth?”

The third step up the beautiful staircase of life is thinking “whatsoever things are just.” Let us fill our minds with justice for all, where every person should receive equal treatment contrary to their social or financial status. Let us think how we can respect every creed and color by not judging, but gently pointing out their unrighteous deeds against their Creator. The fourth step up the beautiful staircase of life is filling our every thought with “whatsoever things are pure.” Now, we are beginning to feel the winds of heavenly bliss. Our minds and thoughts are not private from the presence of our holy God. He sees everything. With this step, we aim for perfection by keeping every thought pure with no defilement from the world. Even vain imaginations would be immediately cast out. The fifth step up the beautiful staircase of life is filling our minds with “whatsoever things are lovely.” This is a most beautiful step for it opens a whole new world of seeing past the surface to recognize the hidden beauty in both the human heart and every other created thing from the amazing wildlife to the glory of nature. To use an old adage, we take time to smell the roses. We learn the secret of causing time to stop. The sixth step up the beautiful staircase of life is “whatsoever things are of good report.” This step should always bring great joy. In a world of cruelty and fault-finding against one another, let us lift up our heads and look for the good in everything. Let us fill our minds with great joy from every good report that we aggressively uncover to the glory of God.

The seventh step up the beautiful staircase of life is, “If there be any virtue” let us think long and hard on these things. Christian virtue is the crown of our transformation in Christ. It is the epitome of our newly created lives. With every new virtue, we grow closer to God allowing His bright light to shine magnificently through us to the rest of His creation. Finally, as you think about all these things you will notice there is no room to think about anything else. At the top of the staircase of life in view of heavenly bliss, we are quick to see “If there be any praise.” With every little miracle, we praise God. When we see the depth of God’s beauty in His creation, we praise God. When we realize that God has been with us every step of the way, we praise God. When God miraculously works all things together for good, we praise God. Our beautiful minds have the ability to touch the face of God through the indwelling Spirit who has been so intimately with us from the beginning. We praise God. The Spirit has helped us to jettison all the things and thoughts of the world. Then the Spirit has taken us by the hand and filled our minds with the things of God with every step on the way up the beautiful staircase of life. For those who have truly accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and allowed the Spirit to transform their lives, then this exercise of filling their minds with the things of God as they ascend up the beautiful staircase of life will eventually experience heavenly bliss with amazing joy and peace to the glory of God.

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.

Watchman on the Wall

Leave a comment

We cannot magically turn Sodom and Gomorrah into a holy nation by electing new leaders. Wake up, dear children. We are still on the same path. The election results have not changed any hearts, it has not drawn anyone closer to the Lord. It may have driven fear into the other side. It may have given you some temporary joy and peace that things might be better, but it will not change the direction of this nation headed to the abyss unless it truly repents. As a watchman on the wall, it is his job to warn the people that they are headed to certain destruction, that they are still headed toward Armageddon, and that they will reap the consequences of a perverted nation that has turned its back on God. Nothing has changed. Abortions are still legal in most states claiming that life after conception doesn’t exist up to a certain week or month. They still teach little children, without the parent’s consent, that they can choose their own gender. They still allow perversions to be flaunted in the streets of America while people’s hearts drift further and farther away from their Holy God. Nothing has changed nor will it change until people are led to repent and trust in God exclusively. The heart must be changed and that cannot be accomplished through a political process.

Dear children, there is only one path to change, which will never be accomplished by passing new laws or enacting new policies. We only have one option. We must rediscover the path and make a concerted effort to get on it. I am not asking you to be an evangelist, but I am asking you to look at your own heart. Let us learn to look at what God wants to accomplish in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Dear children, it starts with faith believing that God wants to make us into something special. God is not limited to what has happened to you in the past, your old beliefs, or even your propensity to sin. If you trust in God alone He can make you into a new creation filling you with His holiness, the most amazing joy, and a peace that defies understanding. He can fill you with the power of the Holy Spirit where you can actually partake of the divine nature and experience heavenly bliss in all of its glory (II Peter 1:4). If this is not already taking place in your life, then you have never got on the right path, or you have not totally believed in the Gospel message, which is the power unto salvation (Romans 1:16). Unfortunately, many have accepted Christ in their mind believing everything He did for us, but have not grown up in Christ, but have progressively become more like the fallen world.

The good news is once we stop following the world by coming out from the world, then we will be wonderfully made into a new creation and filled with God’s Spirit. Until this happens we will continue to follow all the ways of the world believing that one person by enforcing the right laws and enacting the right policies can make the world into a better place. He may force his will upon the people, but he will not truly change the hearts of humanity. He may even require obedience to your every thought and action with the help of Artificial Intelligence (the image of the beast, Revelation 13:14-15) but he will never truly change your heart. He may even promise you a golden age of prosperity and happiness, but he will never truly change the hearts of humanity. He may even promise to stop all the wars and unite humanity in a common cause to accept one another but he will not change their hearts or have the ability to make them into a new creation. Humanity’s hearts will still remain corrupt even as they outwardly demonstrate tolerance. Humanity will continue to worship and adore self as it embraces science, technology, and psychology to solve all its problems by answering all its questions about life. Humanity will continue to grow further away from what they were originally created to be. The promise of a golden age will never change their hearts, nor will they become all that they were created to be.

Dear children, we must stop trusting the world, its political leaders, and all their promises. Only God has the power to change the hearts of all humanity and usher in a golden age free from the seductive powers of the evil one. This can only be accomplished when God’s children truly come out from the world by focusing all of their thoughts only on what God desires. Every thought must be taken captive to the glory of God (II Corinthians 10:5-6). When we do, then we will immediately reject all the little advertisements, all the silliness, all the pundits or commentators, all the so-called professionals, and everything else that keeps us chasing after the ways of this world. After the mind has been emptied of all the foolishness in the world, then we must immediately fill it with the holiness of God (I Peter 1:13-16). This is only accomplished by slowly reading the Bible one book or one letter at a time in deep prayer and meditation asking God through the indwelling Spirit to help us understand and apply its truth to our lives. I always slowly read and digest the Word of God until I feel a warming in my heart, a conviction, or the still small voice of God. The more we do this the more we come out of the world allowing God through His Spirit to change us into a beautiful new creation by growing us from one degree of glory to another (II Corinthians 5:17; 3:18). The more we grow, the more the things of the world become less attractive and even more repulsive.

When we truly come out from the fallen world, then we begin to see the world with a different set of eyes. We see God’s beautiful creation in a completely different light. We cherish the sunrise and the sunset. We embrace the silence and solitude to hear the voice of God. We are being changed, but as you know not everyone is on this path. They follow every news article. They follow every post on social media. They follow the words of every popular politician. They embrace the noise of YouTube videos and every new movie that falls deeper and deeper into the pit of immortality. They follow every new scientific theory which changes like the wind, blowing in one direction, then another. They trust in the latest technology to give them the truth and every new advancement in psychology to explain the darkness in their souls. Their hearts are not being changed and they are not becoming all that Christ wants them to be. As they fall deeper into the world being led in one direction, then another their hearts are hardened against God for all the trials and tribulations in their lives.

As the world cries out in agony they attempt to explain away the horrific consequences of their sins by blaming Mother Nature, global warming, unprovoked wars, and natural disasters. As the watchman on the wall, things will not get any better for the world until they fall down before Christ and repent of all their sins. Things will not get any better in the world until they turn from the world (Revelation 18:4-5). Things will not get any better in the world until they allow the Holy Spirit to make them into a new creation, growing them from one degree of glory to another. Dear children, start putting off the old life and putting on the new life today (Ephesians 4:22-24) or experience the full brunt of the plagues and woes falling upon unrepentant humanity from the hand of God. Dear children, the days will only get hotter as the sun brings forth more intense forest fires engulfing entire cities and scorching mankind (Revelation 16:8-9). Unexplained viruses and diseases will be unleashed upon the world creating one pandemic after another (Revelation 16:2). The pollution will continue to grow in the seas interrupting the sea lanes and killing scores of sea life (Revelation 16:3). Even with mankind’s intervention the fresh water from the rivers to our water supply will be tainted bringing forth alarming diseases and death (Revelation 16:4-7). Yet, with all the final bowls of God’s wrath humanity refuses to repent (Revelation 16:11).

Finally, the kingdom of the beast or the final Antichrist will see his entire nation engulfed in spiritual darkness with increased lawlessness, violence, and every known perversion (Revelation 16:10-11). The eventual fall of Babylon will be horrific as the kings from the East will gather their forces together by uniting their countries with a common goal of destroying the West (Revelation 16:12-16). Even as the world faces Armageddon, God’s beloved children who have come out from the world allowing God through the Spirit to grow them spiritually from one degree of glory to another will be shielded from the full brunt of His righteous wrath (I Thessalonians 5:1-11). They may suffer but they will not be defeated or overcome. They may suffer but the joy of their salvation will reside in their hearts. They may suffer but they will not be destroyed. God’s children will continue to shine forth with the light of God’s glory shining forth from their faces. As the world weeps, God’s children will have a peace that defies understanding. Nothing will destroy the magnificent love they have for the risen Lord looking for every opportunity to share the simple Gospel printed below the prayer. As a watchman on the wall, you have been warned of the approaching final bows of God’s wrath. Holy Father, please help your beloved children to stand firm.

Please join me in prayer,

Subject: “Thank You for Your Chastisement”

Good morning Heavenly Father. We have learned over the years, dear Lord, that believers don’t talk much about being rebuked or chastened by you. They typically cast the blame on the devil or another poor soul. Occasionally they may even cast the blame on themselves referring to it as simply an accident or fate. Rarely have we heard, or seen believers fall down before you in repentance seeking your forgiveness acknowledging that it was your rebuke or chastisement that had brought them to their senses. Although we are certain that your plagues and woes are meant for fallen humanity, we do acknowledge that we will still reap the consequences of our sins. We also acknowledge that as a loving Father, you do rebuke or chasten us to keep us from falling deeper into our sins and their unavoidable consequences. Thank you, Father, for your great love for us, your beloved children. We pray that all of your beloved children will be enthusiastic and repent of their secret sins or their favorite sins that they are unwilling to give up. Please Lord, convict us of our unrighteousness. We pray this in the blessed Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent” (Revelation 3:19).

Seeing Through a Glass Darkly

Leave a comment

If I could describe the world today with one word it would be an “enigma” (something difficult to understand). Everyone is trying to figure out everything from the latest prophecy to the latest conspiracy theory, and from the latest church doctrine to the latest tradition. The war is raging on social media and in the halls of Congress dividing the nation not between a few political parties but between every human being. If that’s not bad enough the war is raging in the Churches and between the growing number of denominations or sects. The whole world is seeing through a glass darkly. They look, they read, they try to figure things out and they simply don’t understand. People have read the entire Bible, and they still don’t understand. Everything seems like an anomaly, like the shifting sands of the Sahara Desert. As we fast approach the End, we no longer have time to try and figure out things on our own and develop our own little favorite doctrines at the exclusion of others. We don’t have time to seek after our favorite prophecies and sliced up sermons on the internet or social media. Simply put, we are out of time.

We only have one option. We must return to the source and do it quickly. As I wrote in my previous article, Jesus is knocking at the door. We must open the door and enter into the new life that He has predestined for us. Only then after we have seen the risen Lord face-to-face can we no longer see a poor reflection through a mirror or darkly colored glass (I Corinthians 13:12). Today we will take this to the next level where most of His children have not yet entered. Unfortunately, many are Christians in name only, holding tightly to their favorite doctrines, and traditions instead of trusting in Christ alone to make everything clear. The whole Bible was written by men that were inspired by the Holy Spirit opening windows to an unseen world and allowing us to fathom things that seem unnatural to the carnal mind. Only the Holy Spirit can open up the Bible allowing humanity to see its original and deeper truths. Years ago when preaching the Gospel in Russia I was confronted by an individual who said that he would accept Christ, but the Bible was too difficult to understand. After explaining to him that everything would be clear after accepting Christ, he later gave an exhilarating testimony before the Church that Christ made everything crystal clear once he surrendered to Christ as Lord. Even the best commentaries, foot notes, and cross references will typically only show one man’s interpretation. Dear children, it’s essential that we go to the original source while we still have time.

We will all admit that we live in a world of mass confusion with everyone either adopting or developing their own unique beliefs. Some say that they got their beliefs through the detailed study of ancient authors, popular commentators, and even in-depth research of the Bible by looking at the original meaning of each word. Others say that they got their beliefs from their Church doctrines and its traditions. Others say that they have constructed their beliefs from the many visions and dreams that they have had or received from others. Others say that they have developed their beliefs from the many popular preachers and prophets in our day. Others say that they developed their beliefs from following the popular postings and video clips on social media. Some have even said that they have developed their beliefs by receiving communication directly from the Holy Spirit. Finally, we have people continually pulling from all of the above sources making their own choices on what to believe; what to keep and what to cast out. Well, we also know that Satan is an author of confusion. Simply put, Satan doesn’t care what you believe; he says everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. That’s the world we live in as we fast approach the Last Days.

As humanity continues to develop and adhere to their own unique beliefs, then the division between the people continues to grow at an alarming rate. These divisions can quickly turn into violent altercations and even civil war pitting one side against another. There is no greater time than to have God’s beloved children to be united in the truth and stop developing their own unique beliefs, of which many conflict with God’s unchanging word. There is no greater time to understand the context of what was going on with God’s children at the time during the writing of the Bible. We must always ask what it meant to the original recipients and what questions or problems were being addressed at the time. Only then can we ask what it means to us now. Don’t worry, Jesus Christ took care of that little problem by sending every believer the Comforter to understand all of the truth written in His anointed Word, the Bible (John 14:15-31). Just don’t forget the Comforter or the Holy Spirit will also keep the truth in its original context. Moreover, He will never contradict the Word of God or allow humanity to explain the truth away by saying it’s no longer applicable in our day, which we mainly see in the use of Spiritual Gifts. Simply put, the Holy Spirit will lead you to understand the meaning of what it meant then and how to apply it to our lives now.

The key to understanding or interpreting the Holy Bible for our day is understanding that it was written primarily, especially in the New Testament, to help new believers to put off the old life and put on the new life in Christ. The Bible is not meant to be your little Genie in the Bible. On the other hand, as we allow the Holy Spirit to transform us into a new creation by following His does and don’ts of the new life, then we will in time always know the right direction or the right thing to do (II Corinthians 5:17). Furthermore, the more we are transformed in Christ, the more we will be able to hear His still small voice by giving us specific guidance or bringing a Scripture text to our minds that was previously written on our hearts. Now, here is the wonder of our transformation in Christ, as a new creation we will be given eyes to see, to see the great war being waged against humanity, and how God’s children have been given insight on how to stand firm only believing in one truth. We must allow God through the Holy Spirit to develop our belief system from the truth in the Bible. The truth in the Bible is all sufficient, it’s immutable and it is exclusive. We can study all the great biblical doctrines from the past two thousand years, but they must never be allowed to change the truth by adding to it or subtracting from it. Only the truth will be used by the Holy Spirit to grow us from one degree of glory to another until we reach perfection at the conclusion of our journey on Earth.

We must aim for perfection every moment of every day and the one thing that can help us, is to embrace the power and majesty of love. Without true self-giving, agape, love we will never reach perfection, nor will we be assured that we are truly on the right path. Godly love will open windows that we never knew existed showing us the wonder and majesty of God’s perfect timing, His amazing blessings, and His tremendous power to perform miracles beyond our wildest imagination. So, why is this so important to meet the risen Christ face-to-face and be filled with the Holy Spirit? Because without Christ uniting His people together in one truth, then they will be susceptible to the greatest deception to ever ascend upon planet Earth. In the Last Days, Satan and the powers of darkness will proclaim that they can solve all the problems facing humanity. He will proclaim that the divisions are destroying the world, and the only solution is unity of thought among all of its citizens. This unity of thought will be required by the image of the beast in the form of Artificial Intelligence (Revelation 13:15). If believers are not grounded in what they believe, then they will be easily led astray believing that they are making the world into a better place for everyone. However, those who reject the new beliefs will be killed. I pray that all of God’s children will be transformed into the perfect image of Christ, which is our only sure defense of the coming deception. Remember, transformation is only possible if we come face-to-face with Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, so that we can know and understand the truth; a truth that will help us stand firm against the deception and the wiles of the devil. Amen, we no longer see through a glass darkly.

Can You Hear Christ Knocking

Leave a comment

Once again humanity as a whole has rejected God and has recreated Him in their own image. Since the fall in the Garden of Eden, humanity has attempted to fill this great void in their hearts caused by rejecting God. Humanity created idols, gods made in the images of the known world, and even darker images of the unseen world. The void created in the hearts of humanity is a horrible thing causing them to feel extremely anxious and lost, always searching for some kind of meaning in their lives. In time every type of world religion was created to help mankind to fill this awful void. Although in the beginning it primarily began with idol worship, in time it developed into detailed theology and ever-increasing traditions to help humanity fill the void from rejecting the one true God. We have also observed humanity, especially in the Last Days, attempting to fill the void in their hearts by essentially becoming their own god. Even most of those who have chosen a religious label have allowed themselves to become their own little god sitting on the throne in the throne room of their hearts. There is only one true way to fill that indescribable void bringing us to the precipice of what we were originally created to be. Keep reading to discover how to fill the void in our hearts.

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.
