Knowing The Word

 Knowing The Word

Truth on knowing God's Word.


 


You will never know the Word of God by going to church and hearing sermons and teachers.


You will only know the Word, when you taste it for yourself and the Holy Spirit brings it to life in you.

When He speaks to you through it.
When He breaks your heart with it.
When He brings you comfort and revelation by it.
When your life twists, to teach you the Word.

Then, you will know and remember it.

When you wake up with a verse on your heart. 
When you memorize verses, because you need them to live. 
When you need them to bring peace and hope and drive those demons away.

You won't know it till you believe it.

Every word of it. 

Even the verses that make you seem insane to everyone who doesn't know it.

Jesus Christ is the living Word. Knowing Him, helps us know the written word. His Spirit brings it to life for us. He leads us into all truth.

He is Truth.

He is all we need.

Forever.

Wait Upon The Lord

 Wait Upon The Lord

A Word on Answered Prayer

 


 

Trouble comes into our lives and we panic. We rush out and do something. This often leads us to do the wrong thing, which brings more trouble. That’s the bait of Satan.

Satan is described as a roaring lion, or a birder trapping birds in a snare. Snares work by reaction. An animal sees the bait and reacts and gets caught. Likewise, a lion has a scary roar. It will often roar and when an animal freaks out to run, the lion pounces. ( 1 Peter 5:8, Psalm 91:3)

But, if we wait. We can avoid these things.

Wait upon the Lord, and He will lift you up. (Isa 40:31)

Bad things come into our life and we pray. We beg God. And we see nothing happening. It’s hard. But, we trust Him. We trust He is working. But it’s hard. We get mad. We get tired. We break down. But we hold on.

The devil puts ideas into our head of things we can do, but it’s not good things. We can attack, we can run. We can get revenge. We can be resentful. We can be snarky. We can sabotage. We can drop a dime.

But, if we wait and trust in the Lord, we might see miracles. We might see Him move and then we will KNOW, He is real and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

It’s hard.

Daniel prayed and heard nothing. He waited and waited. Till an angel appeared and told him that God heard his prayer the minute he first started praying. God released the answer the second Daniel prayed. But, demonic forces slowed the answer. ( Daniel 10)

God hears. He has moved.

He promises that “Whatsoever you ask in my name I will do” (John 14:14)

Believe it. Trust it. It’s hard, but what have you got to lose?

God is our only real hope. He is our friend and our father. he is not out to get us.

But, the enemy gets us to fear and doubt and run away from God. That’s when he has us.

This life is but a breath. A moment in eternity. It’s hard. But it won’t last.

Things we think are important today, will matter nothing to us 10,000 years from now.

Wait upon the Lord. Pray, watch and wait. You will see Him move.

You will wake up and see that things are different.

It might not be what we want, but we will see it’s better. We will see Him in it and that will make it better.

Praise Him for all He’s done. Sing His praises.

Building The Beast System

 Building The Beast System

A Word on Bible Prophecy and the Real World



The scriptures teach that one day there will be a system ran by one person who controls all buying and selling.( Rev. 13:16-18)


That system is being built today. 

It will be in place and ready to use when the Anti-Christ requires the Mark of the Beast on the hands or foreheads of all people.

That will be the last piece of the infrastructure.

It will connect the people's physical bodies and minds to the system.

Go back to the days of Babel. (Gen. 11))

We see that "They", began to build a tower which would reach heaven. The purpose was to unite humanity. "Lest we be scattered"

They were of "one language, and of one speech" which is like saying they said, the same things, in the same way.  

Likewise today, a tower has been built to heaven called the internet. It will probably be totally satellite contained eventually. Elon Musk's "Starlink" is the future.

This tower or internet, has united humanity, in essence. It has allowed the spread of commerce and certain ideas to brainwash the masses into saying the same things in the same ways.

People have connected virtually their entire lives to this tower. Social life, business, banking, buying and selling and shipping to our homes.

The internet "tower" allows this to happen.

This is the infrastructure for the Beast system. Satan, his angels and the spirit of anti-christ, are working through human slaves to build this system.  (There are several links here. Each is a teaching on this subject)

So what happens now?

Well, now the task is to get people even more connected. Make it impossible to function In society and finance without being connected.

Use safety and fear of crime to force more and more integration. Make things easier and cheaper when connected. 

Currently a new law or policy has been passed called "Know your Customer"

Websites are forcing advertisers to prove identity, in various ways. Some like Google and Pinterest are requiring a user to upload an ID. Others are making users verify with social security numbers and every other form of ID.

Of course, the claim is that it keeps us safe. It keeps the internet safe. But, it also works to control the population.

So what's next? Well, the next step will be ALL people who use the internet, will be required to provide ID. Not just advertisers, or people who do business online, but everyone.

So basically, Amazon will probably eventually require you to upload an ID before allowing you to purchase from them.

I imagine that this will eventually cause the need for the creation of an internet ID.

Something that will be government backed and completely safe. You'll probably upload all your info to a protected site, or go to the DMV, and give them everything they require. Then, this will create an ID that you can upload anywhere that asks or everywhere.

Now remember. By this time it will be virtually impossible to avoid having an online connection. Banking, insurance, virtually everything will be online and connected.

After this, the next logical step will be to connect your body to the system.  

There will probably be some kind of scare campaign to get people to think their ID is stolen, or data breach or something. Then they will require some sort of connection. It could be a fingerprint, DNA SWAB, or retinal scan.  Course, this could be part of the Internet ID.

Next, will most likely be the Mark. Something that literally attaches you to the "tower", and proves who you are.

People have imagined being able to avoid the system. But, the fact that it is taking years to set it all up, means you'll have to live totally off grid for a very long time before the final nail is driven. Of course, the final nail is to have something in your hand or forehead, connecting you to the system. You can reject this. But, you'll probably already be connected and the temptation to get the Mark will be tremendous. We need to practice walking away from everything and trusting that God has got our back.

(I personally avoided being involved with modern commerce for years. I used cash and shopped locally. It works. But it became harder and harder. I became more connected over time. But, there are things I still refuse to do, or do very sparingly. Also, the winds seem to be leaning in a certain direction which could cause me to get more and more disconnected. Maybe it's time. I just want to be able to continue to serve God here.)

When the time comes, we will not be able to bank or pay bills or get paid, or perhaps even shop.

For years possibly, before the final stroke of being required to get the Mark. Be ready to just walk away.

Notice that it all involves money, and remember we cannot serve two masters, mammon or God. Remember, the love of money is the root of all evil.

We will be required to choose our finances or God, when the Mark comes. Most people will have no idea that a choice is required. But, if God points it out to you, you might want to listen and just walk away. Let that old life die.

Look at the times of COVID. When people were forced to vaccinate or lose jobs. That was a test run.

When the time comes to get the Mark, we will be so integrated into the system, people will just accept. It will seem logical. Probably, there will be some moral or spiritual reason attached as well.

And do not think that there will be a pretrib rapture to save you. I personally do not believe in a pretrib rapture. I believe in the rapture when Christ returns, because that's what the Bible teaches. But not a PRETRIB rapture. It will happen sometime later.

I am convinced, that when the time comes people will reject Christ and get the Mark to avoid starvation and persecution, because of the four horsemen and the 5th seal persecution. "He will make war with the saints and overcome them" will be great persecution. (Rev. 13:7, Daniel 7:21)

THAT will be the Great Falling Away. People who claim to know Christ will reject Him to avoid persecution and lose their finances. (2 Thess. 2:3)

Please do not wait till it's too late to have faith in the Lord to carry you through. If the pretrib rapture does not occur, what will you do? Are all your eggs in that basket?

Will you have the oil of faith when Jesus the Lord returns? (Matt. 25)
