There's One Conspiracy

 There's One Conspiracy

There really is only one thing moving behind the scenes.

 

 

What is going on in the world? Why are things like this?

Are you a conspiracy theorist or have you seen things that goes on in history or in the news that doesn’t make sense? Things that seem to be connected, but there’s really no rational way they could be.

Have you noticed that we always seem to head in the same direction, like some unseen hand guides the events of the world and history. Something you can’t prove but you can plainly see?

Have you considered the spiritual element?

Have you considered that humans have a spiritual enemy that seeks to rule over us and to dethrone God?

All those connections you cannot seem to make or that make you feel crazy, are easily made when you consider that Satan, Fallen Angels, Unclean Spirits, Demons, and the spirit of antichrist is working behind the scenes. It’s not just humans doing all the work themselves.

You wanna know who “They” are?

This is them.

“They” are spiritual forces of darkness in high places who direct humans to move us in a certain direction. (Eph. 6:12)

Do you see the pantheons of gods in history? Zeus, Odin, Osiris, Hades, Set?

In every part of the world?

This is them. The Fallen Angels. The Nephilim. The gods.

 They have worked since the beginning of the world to bring it under their complete control, and for Satan to be worshiped as the most high god. (Isa. 14:12-20, Ezek. 28:1-19)

They have done the same thing, over and over again throughout history.

They corrupted Adam and Eve telling them that they would be as gods, getting them to doubt God’s Word and Goodness. (Gen. 3)

This allowed them to be able to take dominion of the Earth from Adam.

They now rule behind the scenes, and have for a long time.

Why does this matter?

Because history is one big story of these guys trying to take over and be worshiped.

It is believed the Fallen Angels came to Earth at the time of Jared in the Bible. (Gen. Chapter 5.)

They corrupted humanity, and abused all of nature. (Gen. 6)

They were with human women and giants were born to them. These were the Nephilim.

Mythology also speaks of “gods” like Zeus taking human women, and demi-gods were born.

The ancient gods were the fallen angels, and their offspring. Like all stories it changes over time. Little details change here and there but the core is the same. These “gods” were known all over the world.

When Alexander the Great of Greece invaded Egypt it is said he was amazed that they worshiped the same gods.

The stories of the gods are the same to some extent all over the world.

Could it have been the fallen angels?

How did ancient people come up with the same beliefs all over the world?

Ok, so the fallen angels came to earth and connected with the line of Cain.

St. Augustine says that the fallen ones in the Bible are referring to the line of Cain corrupting the line of Seth. He rejects the idea of fallen angels.

St. Augustine’s view became the common teaching. Helping to hide the truth. But, one must ask. How does two human groups procreating with each other bring out giants? And the Bible teaches there were giants. Goliath was a giant.

I believe it was both. Fallen angels came, giants (demi-gods) were born, and the line of Cain corrupted the line of Seth.

The world was ruined.

So the Flood came and washed it all away.

Now, when you look at this story and read the Biblical texts. What you will find is that the same corruption is going on in the world today, as we race towards destruction.

By the time the Flood came the humans and giants under the direction of the fallen ones, created a world wide trade system. They built huge structures. Globally. It is claimed that they did lots of evil things. Human sacrifice, Cannibalism, Slavery, mixing of animals and humans, if you can imagine an evil thing, it was happening. It’s believed there was science and sorcery of the most vilest types. Were there really ancient aliens? Or were they Nephilim, and humans directed by fallen angels? Could aliens be fallen angels or demons from another dimension of existence, instead of another planet?

 After the Flood only eight humans survived.

Do you think God believed that a flood would destroy angels and demons? Nope.

Do you think God believed a flood would destroy sin? Nope.

Sin is a corrupting plague.

But He washed the Earth clean, and waited to see if the corruption came back. If it does then it must be burned. And that is where the earth is headed. To be burned with fire.(Lev. 13:47-59)

So, what we see after the Flood, is that the whole world is united. They are led to build a tower. This tower was supposed to unite and protect humans from another catastrophe like the Flood.

It is believed that Nimrod was the king that led in the building of the tower. He is a picture of the Anti-Christ to come. He was led to build the tower by the fallen angels and demonic forces it is believed. This tower is a picture of the New World Order being built today. It is also a picture of the technology that is working to unite the world. (Gen. 10 8-9, Gen. 11)

God came down and confused the languages and the people scattered over the Earth.

This is why there are different names for the gods, and for the first king and his family. This is why the mythologies are the same, but different globally.

Satan and the fallen angels were thwarted again. This is the second time they tried to build a global empire to worship Satan and oppose God.

Do you see the pattern?

From this point in history the “gods” directed humans and led them to create massive empires. To control and unite humans again.

God does not want humans united, unless and until we are finally united under Christ.

History is full of kings who claimed to be descendants from gods, who went forth to conquer and united the world under them.

Do you think that’s a coincidence?

Perhaps they really are descended from the Nephilim?

When you look at history, the Bible, prophecy, mythology, and conspiracy with this mindset, you really see some interesting things. Who is really behind the scenes and why?

When we look at the book of Daniel we see an image of a human, which described global kingdoms throughout history. It shows Babylon, Persia, Greek, Roman, and a future (or present) kingdom. But, the entire idol is one idol. Which means that all these kingdoms are not really separate. They are all united and they are led by Satan, the fallen angels and demonic forces. (Daniel Chapter 2)

This is a very simple picture of the ancient world. Controlled by empires and the “gods’. Which brings us to the time of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was killed by the Roman empire and by the religious leaders. Both of whom were controlled by Satan, the fallen angels and demonic forces. Paul plainly states that the “princes of this world” crucified Jesus. He is not talking about the pharisees or Rome. he is referring to demonic princes, described in Daniel. He is talking about Satan and the fallen angels who are principalities and powers in high places. (1 Cor. 2:8, Daniel Chapter 10, Eph. 6:20)

We read in John Chapter 13, that when Jesus gave Judas the sop of bread. Satan entered into him and he went to betray Christ. This plainly shows that demonic forces killed Jesus. They used Judas to betray, They used the religious leaders to condemn, and they used the Roman Empire to execute him.

But, when Jesus was crucified and rose again He broke the power of the Fallen Angels. We see the power of the “gods” being destroyed globally in history throughout the world.

Coincidence?

What we see from this point is the same thing as before, Empires growing around the world led by Kings, Priests and Presidents. We see great atrocities committed globally. We see the creation of global economies and corporations. We see international bankers and secret societies coming into being.

We see problems created, then solved by the same people who created them. We see money controlling the world, while billions are kept in poverty and bondage.

We see the world uniting constantly under new empires of commerce and ideology.

The world always heading in the same direction. More control. More connectedness.

All of it directed by those who rule behind the scenes. Those who have ruled from before the Flood.

So, when you discuss conspiracy theories, whether it’s the Catholic Church, or The Royals, or the Rothchilds, or the Illuminati, or the Knights Templar, or the Tri-lateral Commision, or the Bilderbergers, or Bohemian Grove, or the Federal Reserve, or any of it.

Make sure you are including the demonic element.

Because that is who is behind it all.

That is who is building the New World Order Kingdom of the Anti-Christ, and have been for a long time.

Satan seeks to be worshiped as god, and to have complete control.

The Bible says he will succeed, and overcome the saints. (Daniel 7, Rev. 13:7)

He will take over the world, until Christ returns and shatters his kingdom and sets up the eternal throne. (Dan. 2:34-35)

Coming soon.

The Coming Storm

 The Coming Storm

Are you prepared?

For the past week meteorologists have been warning about a coming winter storm. It’s freezing rain and snow will cause problems, they say. And folks believe them. They stock up on bread and milk. They buy icy melt. They break out the snow gear and the shovels. They check on family. They stay home to keep roads clear and safe. They close businesses to keep people safe.

Because they believe what they are told.

The Word of God tells us that there will come a time in the future when the world will face great trouble.

The Word tells us that we will face trouble in our own lives.

The Word tells us that we will face death someday.

A storm is coming.

Are we going to believe it? Are you prepared?

When an ice storm is coming, we listen to the experts. We listen to the people who have seen it before, and we rest in the experiences we have had in the past. This helps us to prepare for the coming storm.

Likewise, we can turn to God to save us and see us through the future storms of life and death. He can save us for eternity. We can trust Him. We can trust His Word.

When we believe the warnings of the ice storm we respond.

When we believe the Word of God we can respond also.

Belief leads to response. Faith leads to action.

Jesus told the paraplegic man to take up his bed and walk. (John 5)

 But, what if the man had not done it. Would he have been healed?

He was healed because He believed and responded to the Word given him.

We are told “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”— Rom. 10:9-10

When we read this verse do we believe it? Or do we doubt?

Do we say “Yeah but there has to be more to it than that. How can a person just say some magic words and get saved? Don’t they have to love God and obey Gods law?”

We make up all kinds of excuses because we cannot believe the simplicity of salvation and the love of God.

Satan is more than happy to give us excuses to get us to doubt God’s goodness and Word. It’s the same thing He did to Eve in the Garden. (Gen.3)

Our belief leads to a response. The response is to turn to God (repent) and confess Jesus is the Lord and He is our Lord, and believe that He rose from the dead. Which is believing the Word we have been given.

Do you believe it? Do you believe He died for you, and rose from the dead? Do you believe He is God?

Yeah but… “Faith without works is dead.” Some will say. — (James 2)

Belief or faith requires a response, and the response is confessing Jesus as our Lord. Confessing is a work. Baptism is a work. Communion is a work.

What did the thief on the cross do?

He confessed Jesus as Lord, then he told the other thief about Jesus.

That’s it. And Jesus said “Today you will be with me in Paradise”–Luke 23

Likewise, when we confess Jesus as Lord, and tell others about Him, we will be with Him in Paradise, when we die or He returns.

That’s it. Jesus said, “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.”—Matt. 10:32

We confess because we believe. Belief leads to a response.

God’s grace and our belief and confession is how we are saved. That salvation leads to a relationship with God as we see Him moving in our life. Our faith and belief grows in Him.

We trust that He forgives us. We trust that He is with us and will never leave us. We trust that He loves and cares for us and will take care of us, and we see Him moving and doing it. This leads to praise and thanksgiving which helps grow the relationship, faith and trust.

That is belief. That is faith. Our response is to confess Him as Lord, love others and build the kingdom. We are saved and healed so we lead others to be saved and healed in Jesus name.

But, there’s a storm coming.

Storms in our lives and in the world.

Trouble comes, and we can turn to Him and He will move. Stand on the promises of God in His Word. Trust Him. And when you see Him move it will build your faith and relationship.

But, the coming storm will be of darkness without hope. Some say believers will escape, but that has not been proven. God will be with us through the storm. Just like He was with the disciples on the boat, and with Israel through the plagues.—(Luke 8, Exodus)

He will be with us as this world gets worse and worse. As terrible things fall upon the Earth preparing for Christ’s return.

Do you believe it? Are you preparing for the times of trouble and His return? Are you getting people saved, and preparing your own self?

The scriptures are clear that when He returns there will be church people who thought they were saved but were not. People who prayed a prayer, or people who sat in church every week. But, never believed. They never really confessed Him as Lord. They never fully trusted Him to save them but instead trusted their own works. They never had a relationship with Him.

The storm is coming.

But, many do not believe.

These false brethren will fall away when the trouble comes. They will say “Where is the promise of His coming.”. They will wonder why He has delayed His return. —(2 Peter 3:4, Luke 12:45-46)

Then, they will form the apostate church and help the Anti-Christ persecute the saints. They will beat the men servants and maid servants. They will go back to living for the world. They will be like Judas the betrayer. —(Luke 12:45-46, Rev. 6, Matt. 24, )

Why? Because they never believed. They never put their faith in Christ. They never had a relationship with Him.

And when He returns they will be foolish virgins without oil. (Matt. 25)

They will have taken the gifts and talents and salvation the Lord gave them, and buried it in the sand instead of responding in belief and serving the Lord. (Matt. 25)

They will stand before Him saying “when did we see you naked?” Because they never believed and turned and let the Holy Spirit lead them to serve others and love people and help them. (Matt. 25)

They will say “Did we not do many works in your name?” Because they trusted in works, not the Blood of Jesus. (Matt 7:21-23)

They will not be clothed in the wedding garment because they never knew the King. (Matt. 22)

They never had a relationship with Him or confessed Him as Lord.

They just went to church every week, judged others, and tried to obey rules.

And He said “Depart from Me, I never knew you.”

The storm is coming. Do you really know Him.

Can you trust Him when they are killing your church? Can you trust Him when they threaten to fire you from your job if you won’t take the Mark of the Beast? Can you trust Him, when people who call themselves Christians lie to you, attack you, betray you and destroy your life, or lead you to death? Can you trust Him when you face homelessness and starvation? or will you turn back like Lot’s wife, desiring the comforts of the world?. (Gen. 19)

The storm is coming, the Word says. 

Turn to Him, and ask Him to save you. Confess Jesus as your Lord. Believe He rose from the dead. Believe the Word, given to you. Tell others about Jesus, building the kingdom.

The Holy Spirit will come and teach you and lead you into all truth. (1 John 2:27)

And you will know Him and have a relationship with Him.

And when the storm comes you will be safe in the Ark, that is His salvation and care.

When the waters rise and beat upon you, you will stand firm because you’ve built your house on the Rock of Jesus Christ, who is the living Word. Not on the sand of your own works and power. (Matt.7)

The storm is coming …soon.

Standing On Faith

 Standing on Faith

What does it mean to wait upon the Lord?

 

 

There’s a verse in Isaiah that people like to quote.

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”—Isa. 40:31

Tough times come into our lives.

It doesn’t matter what kind of tough times, because it all does the same thing to us. It brings us to a place where we are faced with trusting God or not.

When you look at the temptations of Christ, you will find that they all end in the same basic question.

Do you trust God?

Do you trust God to provide?

Do you trust God to protect?

Do you trust God to answer?

Do you trust God to guide?

I am in the same boat. Destroyed and abandoned by people I called friends. People who claimed to be friends. People who call themselves believers in Christ, but do not love the brethren, like He commands.

I’m waiting upon the Lord.

What does that mean?

Well, it means to continue doing the things you know for a fact He called you to do. It means doing what is right and abiding in Him; keeping the relationship with Him.

 He called Abram to follow Him out into the wilderness and Abram went. “Come unto a land that I will show you.”

And Abram followed as God led. It was a daily walk. But, God led him to a place where Abram was fulfilling his purpose.

Abram listen to God’s leading, as frustrating as it is to not know the whole plan. But, the following and the waiting and the learning the voice of the Lord was the real plan. That was the relationship.

And Abram, became Abraham, the father of nations. A powerful prophet in the land where God led him.

As sheep we follow the shepherd. We know his voice because God teaches it to us. We see Him moving and we remember what He tells us. We trust in the things He has shown us and confirmed in His Word.

He leads us by the still waters. His rod and staff comfort us. Not because of where we are, but because of Who is with us. Nothing can harm us for real. He is there.

Our faith grows in the relationship. It grows when we hear God’s Word and we put our faith in it and stand on it despite all odds. His promises are true and no matter what happens He is with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. We can stand on the Rock of Christ, the Rock of His Word.

Turn to Him and He comes running. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it shall be given to you. Knock and it will be opened. We have not, because we ask not. We are his children, we can come boldly to the throne and seek Him in our despair.

While we wait on the Lord to show us the next step, we stand on faith. We stand on His Word, and the things He has shown us in our lives, which is our testimony. The testimony of the great things He has done for us.

We can trust Him. He is coming fast.

Like the Israelite’s in the desert waiting on the pillar of smoke and fire to move. He will move.

Faith comes by hearing the Word. Speak it to yourself.

“Whatsoever I ask in His name He will do.”

Believe it.

Trust it.

Drive the doubt out of your mind with it.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”

Say it.

Believe it.

Stand on it.

Let the promises fill you with faith and drive the demons of doubt and fear and infirmity away.

“By His stripes I am healed”

Believe it.

“Take up your mat and walk”

 Believe it.

Get up and get busy.

Do what you can do.

Grab that promise and run with it.

Dance before the Lord and trust that He has your back.

He is coming. He promises.

You will run and not be weary.

Believe it.

Our relationship with Him forever is being built.

We know Him, through the relationship He is building. We know Him as we walk with Him through the desert. We know Him as we wait upon Him and continue in well doing till he comes.

And He is coming.

You will hear His voice and see Him move to help you.

Trust Him.

Thorns and Thistles

 Thorns and Thistles

What is the symbolism of sin?

 

 

As Saints we need to understand the Word, and the work we are called to do.

We need to understand the world around us and what is going on in our lives, and the lives of people we are in contact with.

Why do we sin?

Why do we have difficult lives?

The reason is because Adam chose to eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, after being warned not to.

This brought death into the world. It caused humans to have a corrupted nature. It allowed Satan to take dominion of this world from Adam.

That is why we sin. That is why we die. and that is why there is a power that seems to rule over this world.

But, God did not leave us like that.

He came and brought a curse, “for our sake”. (Gen. 3 KJV)

The curse did not bring death or sin or Satan, those things already existed because of the fall. And God does not cause us to sin. That is not His character.

We commit sins because of what is in us from the fall. Our corrupted nature. This is important to understand. It’s like the symptoms of a spiritual plague. The plague of Sin.

God laid down His curse not as a punishment but as a tool to cause us to turn to Him and be saved. He is our only Hope.

He created the woman to be a helper to the man. So, the curse plays on her desire to help and nurture. It causes her to seek God for salvation and help, through her desire for family. She needs help and God is the only help.

 The man is not cursed. But, the earth is cursed, so that no matter what he does, it only brings forth thorns and thistles. His hard work, is supposed to cause him to turn to God for salvation and help.

This is literally true. But, there is a symbolic truth involved, because thorns and thistles are symbols of sin.

It means that all his works are sin. It means that no matter how hard he tries he cannot produce good. This symbolism is supposed to teach us that there is nothing we can do to fix ourselves, only Christ can do that.

Everything around us are symbols of the truth of God. Every aspect of reality is interwoven with the truth of His Word.

So, let’s look at more thorns and thistles.

Paul says that Jesus Christ was made sin for us. (2 Cor. 5:21)

God made a sinless Christ into sin for us and nailed it to the cross.

He nailed Sin itself to the cross.

Notice how Jesus was given a crown of thorns and a robe of scarlet. (Matthew 27:27-30)

These are the symbols showing He was made sin for us.

Sin and it’s power over us has been destroyed on the cross if we turn to Him. If we ask Him to save us and confess Him as our Lord. (Rom 10:9-10)

That doesn’t mean we don’t sin. Remember every work we do is filthy rags. It is all sin, unless we do it through and in Him.

And when we sin we confess our sins to Him and He is faithful and just to cleanse us of ALL sin. (1 John 1:8-10)

But, ALL of our sin is gone in Him. It is as though we had never sinned at all. Christ’s blood washes us clean. So, clean that we do not sin, even in the midst of our sin. It is not held to our account.

But, have we really turned to Him? Do we really know Him?

That is important.

In these last days we need to make sure we are in Christ. He is our Ark for salvation.

The scriptures teach that there will be people who think they are saved, because they are relying on their own works, instead of the finished work of Christ.

Are we relying totally on Him, or are we trying to do things ourselves, and only producing thorns and thistles?

Jesus said, “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”— (Matt. 7)

The fruits of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance, do not come from the flesh. They come from the Holy Spirit in us and working in us. Our fleshly works only produce thorns and thistles.

Are you growing in the Spirit? Are you producing good fruits? Are the people you seek to follow as leaders really producing good fruits?

The narrow way that leads to life is Jesus Christ and Him alone for salvation. It is not by works. It is not by flesh which produces thorns and thistles. It is not because you quit sinning. You cannot quit sinning, its all thorns and thistles without Christ.

 Jesus tells us of the Sower in Matthew 13.

The Word of God goes forth into the World.

Some people become quickly deceived by Satan and demonic forces and cannot understand the Word, or refuse to receive it.

Others hear it, and are overjoyed that God will forgive them of sins and work in their life. But, trouble comes and people make fun of them or persecute them. So, they turn away from God. They never knew Him. They had no root, in Him.

Some people hear the Word, but thorns and thistles choke it out. They let the problems of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke out the Word. They never turned to God and let Him save them. The sin and flesh in their life overpowered the Word. They relied on their own works and wealth to save them.

But, when we are willing to let God work, and give ourselves to Him. When we are broken enough, like good soil prepared for the Word. We can turn to God and be saved. Growing in Him.

God keeps coming. His Word is everywhere. He does not just try one time and you are done. He keeps working to save us till we are dead.

We might be hard hearted, but over time He breaks us and softens us so that we can hear Him speak and accept Him. Then, His Word grows in us a mighty Oak, that thorns cannot stop. God works to prepare the soil of our heart to receive Him. We cannot.

Never stop turning to God. Never stop relying on Him alone for salvation, not by our works but by His grace and goodness.

By His Holy Spirit working in us, we can produce fruit, instead of the thorns and thistles of the flesh.

The Word speaks that in these last days there will fall away great numbers of Christians who never really knew Him. They will beat the men servants and maid servants. They will give in to persecution and have no root in God. They will have no oil of faith in the their lamp, when He comes. They will be rejected. (2 Thess. 2:3, Matt. 25, Luke 12:45,)

Make sure you are with the Lord.

Time is drawing near.

Let The Light Shine In

 Let The Light Shine In

What is Christmas?

 

Christmas is a time for cheer. A time when we slow down and remember the things that matter most.

It’s a time when we celebrate the birth of a King. The birth of a savior. Jesus Christ our Lord.

As has been pointed out many times, December is not the actual date of His birth. It was probably sometime in September.

But, there is a symbolic reason for the choice of December 25th

When you consider the darkness in this world, and the shadows of evil in our hearts.

When you consider that we are in bondage to our wicked ways and the demonic forces of Satan, the usurper.

When you consider the blackness of the souls that are ruling this world and the misery they impose on us.

We can see the darkness.

The cold savage darkness full of torment.

Just before Jesus was born, King Herod commanded that all babies under two years old be slain, in order to stop the birth of the true King. (Matt. 2:16)

Herod wanted to protect his blood line’s power.

But, the demons who really rule behind the scenes wanted to keep the world in bondage to them.

To keep the world in darkness.

 And what is more dark, than rulers killing children?

It was the darkest of days.

But, a light came into the world.

On that day Joy and Love came to save us from death and raise us up to be with Him.

The light came to shatter the deep and break the power of the forces of spiritual darkness in high places.

The true King was born.

And we celebrate it in a symbol.

A symbol of the light, and a symbol of salvation.

On December 21 we have the darkest day of the year.

We have the day the light goes out.

The day the light dies and goes into the grave of death.

Then, three days later the light is born.

A picture of our savior in the belly of the earth 3 days.

Dec. 22, Dec. 23, Dec. 24

December 25th the light is born. The King is come. He is born to be with us. He was born to die for us and rise from the grave, to set us free. And He will return soon to destroy the darkness, forever.

Merry Christmas.

The Spirit of AntiChrist

 The Spirit of AntiChrist

The One Conspiracy To Rule The World

 

The spirit of antichrist has been working in the world since before the Flood of Noah, even till today.( 1 John 2:18, 22, 1 John 4:1-6, 2 John 7 KJV)

It has one job. To create the Anti-Christ system in preparation for the appearance of Satan's messiah, the Anti-Christ in these last days

When you see in the Bible the world being taken over by evil before the Flood of Noah. That was the spirit of antichrist. When you see Nimrod building the Tower of Babel and uniting the world against God. That was the spirit of antichrist. 

When you look at history and see all the world conquerors. That's the spirit of antichrist. When you see the idol of Daniel, showing the kingdoms of history. That is the spirit of antichrist.

When you see the 20th century and the struggles between capitalism and communism and fascism for global control, and control of the mind. That is the spirit of antichrist. 

As you see the uniting of the world through torment and destruction, and fear. That is the spirit of antichrist.

The word antichrist, does not mean against Christ. It means "instead of" Christ. It's job is to unite the world under the Anti-Christ, and get them to worship, another god. That god being Satan who desires to be the most high. 

The spirit of antichrist does not care about our politics. It uses all sides to push its agenda. It works through individuals, groups, religions and governments to gain more control and build the infrastructure for the Beast system.

There are humans who rule this world, and have submitted to the antichrist spirit and other demonic forces. These humans from top to bottom are deceived slaves.

Even good Christian people can and are used by this spirit to help push the agenda.

The Holy Spirit and God's Word, helps us to fight these things if we are Saved and Spirit led. Remember, Satan can quote scripture and use it to oppress people. It is the Holy Spirit that leads us into all Truth. It is the power of the Holy Spirit that quickens, the Sword of the Spirit.

We are called to fight the good fight of faith against the enemy in all its forms. But, we know we have already won, and the final victory must be Christ's. 

When they say Christ has come, do not be deceived, you will know when your Lord comes.

When they say you are an extremist. Rejoice for so persecuted they the prophets before you.

When they threaten you, and strip everything from you, and beat on the door to come in, fear not for He is with you.

Remember, all these things must happen but the end is not yet.....for He is coming...quickly.

By Faith...

 By Faith...

Faith Matters

 

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”—Heb. 11:1

Translation: Faith is made up of hope for things we do not see and have never seen, but have evidence for.

If we rightly divide this verse we first need to understand what “Hope” is.

Hope is not a “Gee I sure hope so.”

No, it’s “more like “My only hope”. It’s like a life preserver or like a harness that a steel worker wears when he is on a high rise and needs a safety line to prevent falling.

We hope for things we have never seen, but have been given evidence of.

We have never seen God. We have never seen heaven or hell.

But, things have happened in our lives that have given us evidence of the reality of these things.

We have seen God move in our lives and answer prayer. We have seen people get healed of disease. We have seen blessings come to us and to others. We have seen the beauty of nature and the signs it holds. We have felt God in our spirit, comforting us.

This evidence is our lifeline to God. God provides this evidence so that our lifeline will be stronger and cause us to reach out to Him more and trust Him more. God Himself is our lifeline and He provides faith for it.

He gives us faith at birth, and He builds our faith to believe in Jesus Christ and put our faith and trust in Him. Then, He continues throughout our life to build our faith. If we know Him.

Hebrews chapter 11 is called the faith chapter of the Bible. This is where we can get a definition of what faith is.

The very first thing it mentions is having faith in God’s creation. Belief that God created all things out of nothing, simply by speaking it into existence.

We believe in creation because God told us in His Word that this is what happened. So, by faith we believe His Word. Our belief in His Word makes us righteous. Abraham believed God and it was counted to Him for righteousness. When we are told of Jesus Christ, we have the chance to believe or not. If we believe, then we are believing the Word of God, and we put our faith in Jesus Christ and we are declared righteous. Jesus is the living Word of God. (Romans 4:3 Rom. 3:22)

God washes us and places us in Christ. This is what happened to all the Old Testament saints. They believed God and God declared them righteous and placed them in Christ. Just like us.

Remember God is not bound by time or place. God is not filled with doubt. He knows for a fact that His plans will succeed. So, when an Old Testament saint died, having never known Jesus, God places them in Christ because they believed God’s Word.

So, if that saint was alive to today, and heard a sermon on Jesus. This saint would have accepted Him. I know this might not be liked by some believers, but every person who has ever been saved has been saved by grace, through faith. Not by works. They did the works because they believed the Word God gave them.

Grace comes from God and we see evidence, then choose to put our faith in Him at His Word.

Obedience or works are nothing without faith.

They are just rule keeping or going through the motions.

There are some things we cannot do without faith first. Like Confessing Jesus is the Lord, or believing He came in the flesh. (1 Cor. 12:3, 1 John 4:1-3 )

Like Abel sacrificing the first of his flock, as a picture of the future sacrifice of Christ. That’s what ALL sacrifices are. (Heb 11)

He did this because He received a Word from God, or believed the Word of God given to Him from Adam.

He then became a picture of Jesus, when he was killed by His brother because of envy. Like Christ was killed by His brethren for envy. (Gen. chapter 4, Matt. 27:18)

And they were sent to wander the earth.

We see that Enoch walked with God. He had a relationship with him, just like we are called to have a relationship. But, it started by first seeing evidence of God from God, or it came from a Word given from God by someone else. Perhaps from Seth, or from Adam himself. (Gen. 5:22-24)

Remember Adam often walked with God in the cool of the day.

Do you see that our faith leads us to know God and walk with Him. it leads us to seek Him and turn to Him and let Him direct our paths.

It’s a relationship not rule keeping. No one is saved by keeping the law. We are saved by knowing Him. By confessing Jesus is the Lord and having a relationship with Him by faith. (Rom. 3:20-31)

Noah built an Ark. Because He believed the Word given to Him and he acted upon it. Who in their right mind would build an ark in the front yard?

Our faith might lead us to do crazy things. It might lead us to look strange or be persecuted. But, it might also lead to the saving of our family, friends and world.

We see that Abraham believed the Word God gave Him, and he was made righteous. He went unto a land that was not his own and trusted God. He trusted God even though Abraham never saw the promise fulfilled.

There are things we are trusting God for. And we might never see it fulfilled, until we stand with him on that day in glory. When we cross into Paradise to be with Him, and we see the new heaven and new Earth to come.

We seek a city, a country, a future place with God called Home. For this place is not our home.

Sara believed that God would give her a child in her old age. Even through her doubt, God provided. Despite her laughter the promise came and she was written in this book. Because God’s promises are not based upon our faith, and obedience. But, on His might, grace, and goodness. He does it. Not us. (Gen. 18)

Our faith often leads us to reject things in this life, knowing God has a better plan.

Like Moses who chose to reject the high living of Pharaoh and suffer with His own people. Because He knew that he would be the Deliverer and knew that Christ would deliver us all. (the book of Exodus, Acts Chapter 7, Hebrews 11:26)

All of the Old Testament saints teach us that God gives us a Word, and by faith we believe that Word and follow Him.

Jesus is that Word. And when we turn to Him by Faith, He saves us and directs our paths through His Holy Spirit and the relationship we have with Him.

Even through persecutions and a tough life we keep turning to Him and calling out to Him in faith trusting His Word.

And even if we do not see the promises fulfilled in this life, we know that there is a better day.

So, since we are surrounded by the great saints of old and the lives they lived we can turn to Jesus and trust Him through faith like they did. Setting down our burdens and letting Him wash away our sin. So, we can be free to live the life with him that he called us to live. (Heb. 12:1)

Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He wrote it, and will bring it to pass in our lives. Not by our works but His.

And it was a joy to Him to endure the suffering and shame of the cross for us. Then sit down at the right hand of God in power. (Heb. 12:2)

Through faith we are saved and our faith grows as God builds it through our relationship. And every bad thing we face, and every good thing we receive, all works together to build our faith as we turn to Him and trust Him.

And His promises will come.

They come today. They come in the future. And they come forever.

Trust Him.
