CHRISTIAN WALK: Walking through Hostile Territory

THE CHRISTIAN WALK: A daily walk through hostile territory. — **THE CHRISTIAN WALK:** A daily walk through hostile territory.

“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”
—1 John 2:3-6

There’s much written about the “Christian walk.”

But one thing which eludes many authors of those countless pieces is that the Christian walk is through a lost world. That world hates the Christian. There are no compromises. There is only animosity for Jesus Christ and any who profess Him.

Again: the world HATES the true Christian.

“whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
—James 4:4

The more the Christian notices the lost world around him, the more it becomes apparent that there is nowhere in this world to “relax.” There is nowhere in this lost world to “catch one’s breath.”

The only place one can find peace and respite is on one’s knees, communicating with the One who upholds the Christian in a world which despises him. This is the only place the true Christian can find rest in this lost world: in contact with Jesus.

IF the reader finds solace anywhere except on his knees, then the reader needs to re-examine his walk.

This world is lost and becoming more so every hour. The world hated Jesus.

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.”
—John 15:18

This lost world hates the Christian.

Any who trust in God’s Word should expect nothing more.

The Christian is to walk as Jesus walked (making the attempt daily). That means the walk will not be easy or popular. There are any number of wolves telling their churches that the Christian can look, act and speak like the world and still be a Christian. This is not walking as Jesus walked.

Even more harmful are the wolves who are telling their churches to walk like the dragon while telling them they are lambs.

IF the reader’s “Christian walk” is not taking him through enemy territory, then the reader should question whether his walk is Christian or not.

Knowing that the walk will be hard, the believer should prepare himself with the help of the Holy Spirit, God’s Word and much daily prayer.

The Christian walk is through a lost, hostile world.

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
—John 16:33

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-4

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

LAWLESSNESS: An Age of Increasing Lawlessness and Sin

LAWLESSNESS: The times in which we live are increasingly lawless. — **LAWLESSNESS:** The times in which we live are increasingly lawless.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
—2 Timothy 3:1-5

The end times will be marked by great lawlessness, sin and iniquity.

This lawlessness will be especially prevalent in the apostate churches.

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
—2 Peter 2:1

“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.”
—Acts 20:29

One hallmark of this lawlessness will be mocking and scoffing.

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
—2 Peter 3:3-4

“How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.”
—Jude 1:18

This writer once knew a church-goer who delighted in mocking the idea of lawlessness.

She believed she was funny. In reality, she was just another sign of the times in which we live.

Lawlessness: The time is fast approaching when real crimes (murder, thefts, sorceries) are tolerated and fake crimes (science denial, intolerance) will be harshly punished.

There are some who constantly complain of the lawlessness and sin of our present times. But lawlessness and sin are nothing new. However, the increasing public nature of both sin and lawlessness (and the pride and arrogance of the lawless) is a sign of the end times.

So, for all of those who believe the lie that “things will get better” or “we have to take back our [culture, country, church, whatever]” know this: there is no going back. It does not get better (until Jesus returns); it only gets worse.

Knowing the times in which we live is part of effective end times preparation

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:”
—2 Thessalonians 2:7

END TIMES LIE: The Lie of Raising the Dead

END TIMES LIES: For Satan and the workers of iniquity to bring about end times events, they must lie about what's in the Bible. — **END TIMES LIES:** For Satan and the workers of iniquity to bring about end times events, they must lie about what’s in the Bible.

“So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.”
—Job 14:12

One of the most popular topics in the apostate churches is the return of miracles, signs and (lying) wonders which only Jesus and the twelve apostles performed. The pew-sitters are hungry for miracles and are urged on by the wolves in the pulpit.

These truly are the end times–and the end times are truly deceptive.

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
—Matthew 24:24

A constant theme in the apostate churches is “raising the dead.” Of course, the Corporate Media (Satan’s Mouthpiece) helps out this deceived mentality by running a steady stream of articles on the subject. The ungodly and perverse Christian mass media also chip in whenever they can to promote this end times lie.

The Bible is clear: the dead do not rise “until the last day.” Jesus Himself said this no less than FOUR times in John 6.

“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
—John 6:44

One of the most popular topics in the apostate churches is false signs and lying wonders, especially raising the dead. But what does the Bible have to say about this? It doesn’t really matter: those in the apostate churches neither read nor believe the Bible.

“Science” and “technology”–and now counterfeit Christians–are making the same same tired promises about raising the dead that witchcraft, zombie obsession and voodoo couldn’t keep.

“For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.”
—Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

The dead will rise when Jesus Christ returns.

And not before.

“His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.”
—Psalm 146:4

[If the regular reader notices the increase in attention paid to the false signs and lying wonders like raising the dead, they are observant. This is because there has been increased promotion of the subject by both the secular and counterfeit christian media.

Recognizing end times deception and lies is part of effective end times preparation.]

THE GOSPEL

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Dominion Theology: The End Times Lie of Dominionism

MAN GAVE UP DOMINION OF THE EARTH TO SATAN:

AN END TIMES LIE

“Dominionism” is one of the basic lies which the dragon (Satan) uses to build his end times church.

“Dominionism” (or “Dominion Theology“) is a movement by pretend Christians to exert control over the whole earth.

In the late 1980s, several prominent evangelical authors used the phrase Dominion Theology (and other terms such as dominionism) to label a loose grouping of theological movements that made direct appeals to this passage in Genesis. [Gen 1:26] Christians typically interpret this passage as meaning that God gave humankind responsibility over the Earth, but the distinctive aspect of Dominion Theology is that it is interpreted as a mandate for Christian stewardship in civil affairs, no less than in other human matters.

The basic endgame to Dominionism is unBiblical. That goal is a church which rules the earth and presents the earth to Jesus when He comes back at His Second Coming.

As befits such a movement, it all begins with twisting legitimate Scripture. In this case, one of the Bible verses used by the Dominionists is Genesis 1:26.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
—Genesis 1:26

This is basically repeated in Genesis 1:27-28.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
—Genesis 1:27-28

So far, so good.

Where the lie begins is in the claim by Dominionists that man lost his dominion over the earth to Satan when Adam sinned–a claim that is found NOWHERE in God’s Word. Because man has supposedly lost his dominion, the “church” conveniently needs to reassert its dominion over the earth.

What “proof” do the Dominionists give that Satan now has dominion over the earth? Why, Satan’s own words.

“And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.”
—Luke 4:5-6

So the Dominionists base their entire creed on the words of Satan–a notorious liar.

The claim is that Jesus did not “correct” the devil’s lie about the kingdoms of this world belonging to him.

This is false. Jesus said:

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
—John 8:44

Jesus said NO TRUTH is in the devil. Which makes Satan’s claim that he somehow has dominion over the kingdoms of this world a LIE.

However, what can one expect from a movement that will fulfill the Bible’s prediction of Satan worship in the end times?

Scripture directly refutes the central claim of Dominionism: that Satan somehow took over dominion of this world from man after Adam and Eve sinned in the garden.

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.”
—Psalm 8:4-8

DRAGON WORSHIP

Dominionists claim that the church has to take dominion of the whole earth. And the Bible says there will be a church which does just exactly that: a church (or religious movement) which looks like Christianity but which speaks the words of the dragon (Satan).

The church of the dragon.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
—Revelation 13:11

God’s Word also declares that this satanic church movement will deceive men by using end times miracles.

“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; “
—Revelation 13:14

The whole world will worship the dragon.

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
—Revelation 13:4,8

Going hand-in-hand with the claim that man lost dominion of the earth is the lie that Satan is the god of this world. Both are important to those seeking to elevate the dragon.

Man did not lose dominion over the earth. That is written nowhere in Scripture (outside of the devil’s words).

Which makes the claim that man has to “re-take dominion” a lie.

There is nothing left to retake.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
—1 John 5:4

THE GOSPEL

“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. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
—Romans 10:9-13
