I pray that you take a moment and watch this video. This is a sad day when so many people who profess to follow Jesus Christ have now become a part of the great falling away. The great crowd of those falling away is growing larger every day. Though none go with me, I still will follow. This is my personal witness to the truth after serving for over forty years in the Ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. After watching this video on my secure website, please share it with others as your witness to the truth. God bless you.

Though None Go With Me, I Still Will Follow

September 7, 2021 Rev. Daniel Blair Leave a comment

I have great empathy for the many professed believers falling away because they never really loved the truth that they might be saved (See II Thessalonians 2:10). They sincerely believe that they have their ticket to heaven but have not fully followed the way of the Lord, because they have embraced the many lies from the internet. Satan has used the internet to spread his lies far and wide through the trusted search engines, respected news sites, and all the social media platforms, including YouTube. This has caused those who profess to know Jesus as their Savior a great deal of difficulty, casting them in one direction and then another weakening their faith. Furthermore, it is greatly filling up all their time keeping the Spirit from doing His job by leading them into all truth and helping them to grow up in Christ (See John 16:13). This has been Satan’s design from the beginning. From the First Century until now Satan has raised up multiple gods, different philosophies, and belief systems, including false prophets to lead God’s children astray. Satan knows their thirst for more information and knowledge, never being satisfied with God’s simple truth for all of life. He has even engineered the acceptance and creditability of science to question God’s absolute truth concerning all of creation and that includes humanity. God will not be mocked by those who claim to love the truth yet accept everything the world says. The Bible says, “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (II Thessalonians 2:11-12). Clearly, these people do not love the truth.

If they sincerely loved the truth, then they would soon recognize that God’s truth gave them everything they need for life and godliness (See II Peter 1:3). If they truly loved the whole truth given to them by God, then they would have no need to seek answers from the world by asking unknown people on social media. They would have no need to surf the internet or the YouTube channel seeking answers that God has already given to His children. So, when God sends a strong delusion, He is simply letting them go to believe the lies and experience their damning consequences. Yes, in the last days those who profess Christ but no longer follow His way but seek to integrate the world’s knowledge with God’s holy truth will be joining all of humanity in their march toward eternal damnation. This is the great falling away. Although it deeply saddens me to see this integration of the world’s knowledge with God’s absolute truth, it doesn’t even compare with how delusional people have become by openly denying that they have done anything wrong. They feel it’s perfectly alright to integrate the world’s psychology with God’s absolute truth concerning His creations – all of mankind. They deny the new life in Christ where we are made into a brand-new creation and completely free from our past. The Bible says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (II Corinthians 5:17). The great crowd of those falling away is growing larger every day. Though none go with me, I still will follow His truth.

If we sincerely loved the truth, then we would understand the power of forgiveness. We love the truth that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross and the shedding of His blood has efficacy to forgive the entire world of their sins. There is power in the blood of the Lamb to cleanse us from all sin (See I John 1:7). The Bible says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (I John 1:9). For those who are falling away, they no longer believe this truth because they have integrated the world’s psychology with God’s truth. They openly deny the sufficiency of Scripture (See II Peter 1:3). Therefore, in their group counseling sessions, they continue to repeat their sins over and over again not realizing that it holds them captive to their old life. On the other hand, the truth, for which we love, believes that confession and true repentance erases the sin as though it never existed. Unlike the world that remembers every sin, God cast our sins as far as the East is from the West, an infinite distance (See Psalms 103:12). Even Satan loves to bring up our old trespass in an attempt to hold us in captivity. We love the truth, believing if we resist Satan, he will flee from us (see James 4:7). We love the truth, through faith in Christ believing in His death and resurrection we have been delivered from the power of sin to live our new life in Christ. The great crowd of those falling away is growing larger every day. Though none go with me, I still will follow His truth.

We sincerely love the truth, believing that we have been given power over anxiety, stress, and all the other so-called psychological diseases to experience a perfect peace that defies understanding. It’s not just the world that’s beating a path to the counselor’s office, for they have also been joined by those who are falling away. Those falling away are doing so whole-hardly, and even carrying its propaganda back to the church. Not only have they denied the sufficiency of Scripture, but they have also denied their new life in Christ (See II Corinthians 5:17). The world teaches you to accept your old life with all its struggles, whereas God’s truth teaches us how to walk in our new life free from all the old pains. We have become witnesses that through faith we can put off the old life and simultaneously put on the new life in Christ. We are witnesses to the power of prayer both in healing and the acceptance of God’s loving providential will for our lives. The Bible says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). We have witnessed God’s loving providence and perfect timing on so many different occasions. We are witnesses that by walking in the light and adhering to God’s biblical admonitions that we can experience a perfect peace that defies understanding even in the midst of the storm (See Philippians 4:4-9). The great crowd of those falling away is growing larger every day. Though none go with me, I still will follow His truth.

We love the truth that keeps us on the straight and narrow path. We are witnesses that walking in Christ is a full-time job, every moment of every day. We are appalled at how Satan has every person chasing the proverbial rabbit, going in one direction and then another. They are like a rudderless boat being tossed in one direction and then another. With every news story, social media post, or YouTube video we see the crowds chasing after another conspiracy theory or some new learning that inspires the imagination. Although those falling away are leading the crowd, we are witnesses to God’s faithful remnant staying on course. We have been given the heart to love and care for one another, whereas those chasing the proverbial rabbit are still walking in darkness. They are much too busy for spiritual growth in Christ. They are much too busy to have a meaningful relationship or fellowship with our risen Lord (Read I John 1:1-10). We love the truth that as a new creation walking in the light, we have a beautiful and blessed fellowship with our Creator (See my previous article, “Getting Caught up in the Spirit.” We love the truth that while we walk in the light, we expose the darkness (See Ephesians 5:13). The closer we walk to the Lord, the quicker we recognize the false teachings from the world and the quicker we expose the powers of darkness posing as children of light. We find it very difficult to read what they are posting on social media or broadcasting on the news media. The great crowd of those falling away is growing larger every day. Though none go with me, I still will follow His truth.

We love the fact that we don’t need to face the world alone, for God has given us His Spirit to dwell in the life of every true believer. We witness the fact that He directs us, every moment of every day, keeping us from experiencing anything we cannot handle (See I Corinthians 10:13). The more we grow up in Christ the more we recognize His presence and the more we enjoy His abiding fellowship. We are also witnesses that the indwelling Spirit did not come empty-handed. No, He came bearing gifts of the Holy Spirit. We quickly realized that they were not for our good pleasure but only for the furtherance of God’s Kingdom here on earth. We have experienced the gift of healing others on more than one occasion. We have shockingly witnessed God’s power of rebuking an evil presence and delivering a poor soul. We have amazingly witnessed food being materialized right on a table where almost no food existed for dinner (a visible answer to prayer). Perhaps the most exciting to me, however, was witnessing those divine appointments giving me an opportunity to share the gospel with a complete stranger and realize that this was no accidental encounter. The great crowd of those falling away is growing larger every day. Though none go with me, I still will follow Jesus Christ who is the truth. I still will follow the truth even if I must walk alone (but not really alone).

Sins Desire is to Rule Over You

August 15, 2021 Rev. Daniel Blair 2 Comments

So, whatever happened to sin? In my previous article, entitled “When Heaven Goes Silent,” we spoke about the whole world being led into captivity by the powers of darkness. Well, there is another captivity that’s as old as humanity’s fall from grace. This captivity was caused by opening the door to sin. In time, this powerful motivation to sin would rule over the entire human race from the cradle to the grave. The Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We first witnessed this worldwide captivity to sin prior to the great flood that wiped out all of humanity with the exception of only a few chosen people. The Bible says, “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). Although God made a promise to never wipe out all of humanity again with a flood, His prophets of old have prophesied that the world will be destroyed by fire and intense heat for their excessive wickedness and turning away from God. We often think about the Last Days as fire and brimstone, and I too have been numbered among those end-time prophets. However, there is a much larger threat to humanity that we don’t often think about. This will cause everyone, even the strongest among us, to cringe at the mere thought of things to come.

After many thousands of years, humanity is once again approaching this worldwide dilemma of complete lawlessness and being slaves to the power of sin. If this powerful motivation to sin is left unchecked, then it will allow sin to rule over the entire world once again. We should never underestimate this great power to sin in every human, which the Bible refers to as the old sin nature. One of the signs often missed concerning the end of days is complete lawlessness and unchecked anarchy. We have seen for some time now random acts of lawlessness where young people walk into their schools’ killing both teachers and children. We have already seen disgruntled employees return to their offices and randomly kill others. We have seen people walk into drug stores and department stores and brazenly take whatever they want. We have seen people walk into a laundromat and randomly shoot others for no reason. We have seen people in broad daylight walk up to another individual on the street and beat them for no reason. My friends, this is only the beginning. It will get far worse because every imagination and thought of man’s heart is getting even more evil, which in time will be continuous. God forbid! This will be worse than all the previous riots. This will be worse than total chaos. These are the days that are fast approaching.

Going hand in hand with this increasing lawlessness is what the Bible refers to as the falling away or the great apostasy (See II Thessalonians 2:3). As a true believer in Christ, filled with the Spirit and growing up spiritually, you have already begun to recognize this falling away among those who claim to know Christ. Unfortunately, this falling away is caused by opening the door to sin allowing it to control their lives, even if they don’t readily admit it. They may call upon the Name of Christ publicly, but their hearts are thinking more and more about saying and doing evil things. Clearly, they are no longer on the path of righteousness. They can cry aloud for God’s mercy and beg others to pray for them, but their hearts are far from the things of God and His righteous path laid out for them. They have forgotten the standard or perhaps they never learned it and internalized it into their hearts. Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Sadly to say, many have no idea what those commandments are. In fact, many are hard-pressed to even quote the Ten Commandments, let alone having a good grasp on the many New Testament commandments, that show us how to love God and how to love one another. This falling away along with the growing lawlessness in the world will make it very difficult for God’s precious children.

So, don’t think for a moment, just because someone claims to be a Christian that he is one, without first examining closely his spiritual fruit. This will be a most difficult time for those on social media, especially when it’s impossible to examine their spiritual fruit other than what they have posted. Moreover, going out into the real world with face-to-face relationships, even among your own dear relatives, will be the most difficult. First, you may simply experience a coldness as they pull further away, then you may begin to detect their worldliness and their proverbial slip of the tongue. The real pain, however, will begin when you detect that they are telling you half-truths or little white lies to cover up their unrighteousness. Although family experiences are the most heart-wrenching, doing business with others or working with your colleagues in the world can also take their toll especially when you have been wronged or observe their unrighteous behavior. Not only are we standing firm against all the natural disasters falling upon planet earth, but we are also in the middle of the whole world wanting to take advantage of us or cause us great harm because they are now being ruled by sin. Shockingly the lawless world is doing this while they are speaking out of both sides of their mouth. Once again sin is getting the upper hand by leading the entire world into sin; allowing sin to rule over all of humanity. So, we must ask the question once again, “whatever happened to sin?”

Let’s return to the Old Testament for a moment and let God answer our question about sin and how to deal with it. The Bible says, “And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him” (Genesis 4:6-7). This is great advice coming down through the annals of history from our LORD God. We must turn the tables on sin by ruling over it instead of allowing it to rule over us. Pay particular attention to what God is saying to Cain, “If thou doest well.” The key to turning the tables on sin is doing well. We have lost the standard for doing well, even those who claim to follow Jesus Christ as their Lord. Just because they have removed the Ten Commandments from our schools, does not mean that we should remove them from our hearts. God’s standard remains as the Holy Spirit writes His words upon our hearts through faith. To violate those standards by willful omission is to sin against God. The whole New Testament was written by men moved by the Holy Spirit. These beautiful powerful Words were written so that God’s elect children, called by Jesus Christ, would know how to do well so that they could turn the tables on sins desire to rule over them.

As God’s beloved children you may learn well how to stand firm against the sin that wants to rule over your life, but we must still confront a very evil and lawless world, that’s getting worse by the day. As we write God’s standard upon our hearts, we will soon discover that we have been given specific rules to confront an evil world. These are rules that have been ignored by most as being either too difficult or for some future dispensation. These rules of non-retaliation are not only valid but are necessary for confronting evil. Open your Bibles and carefully read Matthew 5:38-48. These are not holy suggestions, but they are standards for the Kingdom of God. Dear children, you soon discover this will take faith believing in God’s loving providence to give you both direction and assurance that He is with you every step of the way. Dear friends, to follow the rules of non-retaliation in your confrontation with evil will give feet to your faith. On the other hand, to resist Christ’s standards in the rules of non-retaliation will demonstrate a shallowness of your faith allowing you to be easily led to take up sides one against another. Unfortunately, many who claim to know Christ are choosing up sides one against another as they use the weapons of this world to fight others that they or their political party disagree. It’s a travesty to see Christians bashing others that they disagree with allowing sin to rule over them. Dear children, don’t let sin rule over you in a lawless world that’s waging war one against another!
