What is the Spiritual Realm and how do believers enter it? Most believers understand how to receive the Holy Spirit as a gift from God when they demonstrate sincere repentance and agree to follow Jesus Christ exclusively as their Lord and Savior. They readily accept the Spirit as their Teacher to lead them in all godliness believing that He will give them everything they need for all of life and godliness. They learn quickly not to grieve the Holy Spirit by turning a deaf ear to His teachings and purposely walking in disobedience of the known commandments. There is no special baptism required beyond the initial baptism performed in faith when we surrender our lives to Christ. As we put off the old life through confession and repentance and put on the new life in Christ by walking in faith we begin to see a glimmer of the Spiritual realm that thrills our hearts beyond anything we could have imagined. We begin to feel the peace that defies understanding. Yet, all this is only the beginning which in time will open a whole new dimension that we never realized existed. We’ve read the Bible, prayed our long prayers, and maybe even experienced some pretty strange things that shocked our insensibilities, but what lies ahead should motivate all of God’s children to reach the mountaintop, to experience the Spiritual realm and a taste of heavenly bliss.

Seeing The Big Picture
My last article spoke about rising above the white noise. Today we will talk about rising above the darkness to see the beautiful light, the light of God’s glory. Today we will look at the big picture together, which will shock most believers and arouse the darkness among the rest bringing forth an unimaginable response that’s horrifically uncontrollable. I will admit that it’s rather difficult to write this article because God is showing me the depth of humanity’s captivity to the powers of darkness. It is rather unsettling, to say the least. The most unsettling part is that the entire population is completely blind to this reality. Although some believers see the depth of our captivity individually, they don’t recognize that the entire world is in blinding bondage to the powers of darkness. We will attempt to expose the extent of this blinding bondage. Before we do, however, let me stress that all of the prophecies concerning the end times in the Bible are still relevant and very applicable. Satan has done a good job of hiding these truths by introducing multiple contradictory interpretations. There are so many different opinions among God’s End Time prophecies where most have chosen their favorite opinion or ignored them altogether. Continue reading Seeing The Big Picture
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
Teach Us To Number Our Days
I have taught this truth from Scripture, to number our days, for many years now, oftentimes in funeral sermons and eulogies. God has taught humanity for many thousands of years that man typically has only seventy years unless he is totally blessed and lives into his eighties. We have all witnessed precious souls, like my younger brother, who only lived one week, and my blessed grandmother who lived well into her hundreds. We have no way of knowing just how long we will be given to live on this planet, so it is necessary to number our days making every day count. Although we could only trust in the providence of God for my younger brother, my blessed grandmother had learned well how to make the most of every day to the glory of God. Contrary to how old we are and the trials that we are currently facing, we can still learn together how to number our days by making every moment of every day count for the best. If we don’t then time will fly by as a watch in the night as if our time on earth never existed; a thousand years in your sight would be like yesterday when it is past (Psalms 90:4-6).

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. Continue reading Spiritual Babylon Rides the Beast
