In the Center of God’s Will

Living in the center of God’s will on earth as it is in heaven is a most amazing experience filled with awe. If I had only one prayer for all of God’s children living on the planet, it would be that they would all live in the center of God’s will every moment of every day. If that happened it would truly turn the world upside down. Imagine how that would look. The lukewarm church would no longer exist. Everyone in the church would be completely out of the world and following God’s will every moment of every day with both feet firmly planted in the Church, the body of Christ. They would no longer follow the ways of the world. Loving one another would be paramount. Every believer would live to serve others by learning how to recognize their real needs and immediately fulfill them with humility. No longer would they build up their self-esteem by displaying perfected self-images, beautifully crafted rhetoric, and the vanity of rehearsed mannerisms. True love would not be braggadocio but in humility would count others better than themselves (Philippians 2:3). What joy it would be to see God’s magnificent love radiate one to another in selfless acts of service. In an egotistical and prideful world, how can we ever get there?

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.

 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.

Spiritual Babylon Rides the Beast

At the initial writing of the book of Revelation, Babylon was considered to be Rome which ruled the nations in the world with great power, and the beast was considered to be a Roman emperor or Caesar. With the founding of the new world, America became the new seat of power in the world rivaling every other nation or kingdom to this day. It has attracted immigrants from around the world in search of prosperity and freedom to worship or believe as they wish. Although in the beginning, Christianity appeared to dominate the stage setting forth its new political agenda, it was not long before others coming would magnify their own voices in a free society. It was not long before America became a bright shining city sitting on a hill allowing the popular vote to set the agenda for both beliefs and practices. It was not long before the city, spiritual Babylon, was riding the beast allowing it to take them wherever it wanted to go. The woman riding the Beast was Mystery Babylon, later described as the great city (Revelation 17:4-5;18). The beast through the guise of a free and democratic process was setting the agenda and leading the entire population to sin against Almighty God. Little by little one perversion after another was accepted as the nation chanted USA, USA.

Well, we live in a new day and the Lamb of God is going to fight back by fulfilling all of His prophecies on spiritual Babylon and the rest of the world who has followed her into the pit of immortality (Revelation 17:14). Spiritual Babylon will be brought to its knees along with all the other nations in the world who has prospered from doing business with her. Yes, the ships of cargo will sit off the coast and wailing because they no longer have anyone to buy their cargo. They will witness spiritual Babylon being engulfed in flames (Revelation 18:9-11). However, before this happens the entire population, other than the faithful remnant, will join wholeheartedly in the political process attempting to ride the beast to glory, proclaiming that they are part of spiritual Babylon the most powerful nation in the world. They will accept every person to demonstrate their tolerance for every perversion and every belief system in the world. The bottom line is it doesn’t really make any difference who you vote for because neither party will follow their promised platform used to garner your vote. They know that their professed platforms will allow everyone to express their beliefs and immoral behavior. Nothing will change the hearts and minds of the population even with the greatest speakers and most incredible music electrifying the audience.

The only thing that can really change hearts and minds is the powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ, but even that will only put them on the right path (Romans 1:16). People will still need to be transformed in Christ, which is a lifelong process (II Corinthians 3:18; 5:17). We cannot follow spiritual Babylon and follow Christ at the same time. If we do then we will become the lukewarm Church, who will be spewed out of the mouth of Christ. Not only will they be rejected by Christ, but they will face the most horrific plagues falling on spiritual Babylon (Revelation 3:16). There is no escaping that fact. We will reap what we have sown (Galatians 6:7). We will reap the consequences of humanity’s sins. No political platform will change the inevitable; both Republicans and Democrats will reap the consequences of their personal and corporate sins. We must get back to sharing the simple Gospel with everyone we meet, but that’s only the first step. We must also disciple them in God’s truth helping them to grow from one degree of glory to another. They become our responsibility. Who are you responsible for, who are you helping to grow spiritually? Dear children, this is not possible on social media. It must be done face to face where you can read their body language and practice the art of listening before responding with spiritual guidance. Your success will be measured by your disciples disciplining others to the glory of God.

Now what happens if we don’t do anything but remain in spiritual Babylon and be carried around by the beast of worldly power? We must prepare for the inevitable. Nothing will stop the Lamb of God. Nothing will stop the Alpha and the Omega. Everything the scientists say will happen, will happen sooner than you think. They may not connect it to the prophecies, but they can effectively read what the world is doing. The heat will increase to the point where whole areas on the planet will be inhabitable. Sea levels will continue to rise and whole areas will be submerged swallowing up whole cities. Earthquakes will increase bringing death and destruction to millions around the world. Hurricanes will increasingly get worse taxing the electrical grid and sending millions into darkness while robbing them of both air conditioning and heating. Great fires will continue to plague the planet scorching millions of acres, destroying crops, and leveling cities. But the worst is yet to come the sun will play its part going well beyond the beautiful auroras. Many scientists today believe that a huge coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun could easily perform the task of first destroying our atmosphere and then our planet with fire. No, the green initiative will not stop this. Nothing will stop the hand of God. Finally, the new viruses are increasing exponentially with humanity struggling daily to come up with a new cure causing them to enter into areas never explored before from questionable vaccines to manipulating our DNA. Nothing will stop the hand of God.

As we have already discussed, the political process will not stop the hand of God, although, as Christians, we have been given the ability to slow it down and rescue the perishing. Won’t you join God’s team today? Uncovering what the government or politicians are doing will have little effect as Satan laughs at us for burning up valuable time. Spending countless hours supporting one political platform over another will also cause the powers of darkness to rejoice for humanity missing the larger picture. Also, sharing probable conspiracy theories on social media must have the devil and his legions in stitches as they work on producing another. Spending countless hours on the internet, run by the powers of darkness, to do endless research on what the latest vaccine will do or not do to humanity must be the greatest entertainment for Satan and his powers of darkness. Yes, humanity will make mistakes trying to improve the vaccine and increase the food supply, but I am convinced that they are as afraid as we are that the next pandemic will wipe out humanity or we will simply not have enough food to feed everyone. Dear children, there is a better way to spend your time on earth. Let’s join God in helping others see the light and the only path to salvation. Let’s start by helping them to look at their own sins, which are blocking their path to salvation in Christ. Let us start by loving others more than we love ourselves, which often begins with learning how to forgive and forget.

In conclusion, we cannot stop spiritual Babylon from riding the beast, or following the Antichrist, any more than we can stop the hand of God from pouring out His wrath on unrepented humanity. But we can redeem the time by no longer following the ways of the fallen world. We can use that time by memorizing the simple Gospel printed below and making sure that everyone in our circle of influence knows it too. You can use your redeemed time learning how to grow spiritually from one degree of glory to another. We can start by controlling what we think about, see the Scripture posted below. Finally, learn from Holy Scripture how to truly love others more than you love yourself. We cannot stop the hand of God, but we can join the winning team, God’s faithful remnant. Amen

Think About These Things

The Bible says, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8) If you can’t control your thoughts, then there will come a time when you can’t control your actions. Don’t be a part of the raging chaos and unchecked lawlessness but join the winning team today. The Lamb of God will be victorious.

Please join me in prayer

Good morning Heavenly Father. We know that every true believer longs to see the fulfillment of their new transformed life, to experience true love, to see Christ face to face. Now we see in part. We pray that every believer continues to press on to experience the perfection that awaits us and not settle for an illusion, to be content with a lukewarm Christianity. We pray that they will not settle for the demonstration of Spiritual gifts and the frenzied show of power. We pray that they would not even settle for the prophetic. Let us all press on to the Heavenly bliss of love and perfection that can only be fully known in our new life in Christ. We pray that your beloved children will not settle for anything less. Help them to throw off the intellectual crutches of this world and learn to trust in you alone as they seek transformation, the new life in Christ. Oh Lord, help them to see that true love is the most excellent way to catch a glimpse of the transformed life – “then shall I know even as also I am known.” Hallelujah. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (I Corinthians 13:12).

Our Goal, Transformation in Christ

Yes, transformation in Christ is a reality. You have come out of the world, which has given you an amazing amount of free time. Free at last! You have gloriously redeemed the time (Colossians 4:5). You have redeemed the time by no longer being tutored by the world through all their technologies. Now, let me invite you to join me in an awe-inspiring journey that will joyfully experience your miraculous transformation in Christ. It starts with the mind, the marvelous mind created by God. A mind exquisitely designed for all of humanity created in the image of an omniscient God. The Bible says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2). If you have read my previous article and have already started coming out of the world, then you have taken the first step. You forcefully stopped Satan from conforming your mind to the ways of the world by constantly filling your mind with useless and contradictory thoughts. But this is only the first step in the journey, many don’t make it this far or immediately reverse course returning to the ways of the fallen world. Continue reading Our Goal, Transformation in Christ

Come Out From Among Them

This will be the most difficult thing to do for most, who claim to be Christians, but once accomplished, it will be the most rewarding, with the greatest blessings. The world has been on a downward spiral since the last Great War. I have preached about it and taught about it for the past forty-five years. It was not caused by just one person, one political party, or one political leader. It started when people felt they no longer needed God to solve their mounting problems. They turned to science, psychology, the internet, and finally to Artificial Intelligence (or the Image of the Beast) to solve all their problems apart from an omniscient (all-knowing) God. As the world turned away from God they began to slip deeper and deeper into all manner of depravity. Changing political leaders, passing new laws, and even displaying the Ten Commandments in every classroom will not stop this descent. At this point, there is only one way to stop the descent, we must come out from among them as stated in the Bible, “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). Continue reading Come Out From Among Them

Proof That The World is Ending

Most people have heard the prophecies that the world is ending. Most people have followed science that also claims that the world is ending if we don’t stop the causes of global warming. There is one other proof that should awaken all of humanity across every race and different belief system. This proof takes the hypothesis that we have been created by a higher being that has held the entire universe together since the beginning, either as a free form of biological evolution adapting to a changing environment or as a static form of creationism for the sole purpose of serving our Creator. Either way, I hypothesize that we were created to serve our Creator, and if that changes then there is no longer any need to maintain the created universe in its present form; it must be brought to an end. The whole purpose of the created order was to serve the Creator and if that changes, then there’s no longer any need for the creation to exist, which prophetically leads true believers to a new heavens and a new earth. Remember, God had no problem destroying the world with water the first time that humanity turned away from Him (Genesis 6:5). This time God will destroy the world and all of humanity with fire from the sun. Continue reading Proof That The World is Ending
