It is said we are all born with two primary fears. Every one of us is born with the fear of falling, and the fear of loud noises. Every other fear we must learn through experience, we must learn through education, and we must learn through practice.
‘No Fear’ might be a great tag line for a t-shirt, but there are some thing we ought to fear, and rightly so. I fear getting electrocuted, so I don’t go around licking live wires. I fear being mauled to death, so I don’t go around slapping grizzly bears across the snout. I fear God, knowing He is just and holy, so I do my utmost to be what He expects me to be which is nothing less than holy.
This is a superb piece.
Readers may want to save the following paragraph: it summarizes one of the choices for the end times which those who inhabit the churches will have to make.
When we fear God, there is no fear of man to be had. When we fear men, then there is no fear of God to be had. You cannot fear man and God equally, and as such you must choose to fear one or the other.
Because they do not worship God Almighty of the Bible, inhabitants of the modern churches cannot reverence or respect a god who is beyond their powers of thought. Such thinking is foreign to them.
Which is one reason the concept of “…And by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” [Proverbs 16:6] is foreign to them.
“The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.”
–Proverbs 14:27
The enemy has deceived (and will continue to deceive) many into believing no such choices (between fear of God vs fear of man) will have to be made.
IF pew-sitters believe that no such choices will have to be made, then no preparations for making those choices will be undertaken. This lack of preparation guarantees the triumph of the flesh over the spirit.
Believers lose their fear of man when they have a fear of the LORD.
The fear of God involves a FEAR of God: not an awe or reverence (though neither of those feelings are bad ones of themselves). The mystery of iniquity has done its level best to “humanize” God and bring the Creator down to the level of the created.
This involves men losing their fear of the LORD.
God Almighty is a power beyond the scope of normal human intelligence or reason.
The fear of the LORD involves a healthy dose of fear.
Anyone who says differently is leading the reader astray.
“And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”
–Luke 12:4-5
Is the reader afraid of the LORD?
Or has the reader drifted into the deception of the fear of men?
There is yet still time to change direction (repent) and be saved.
“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:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
This is critical for end times Christians–few though they be–to know.
Another day and yet another friend and/or family acts out 2Timothy 3:1-5.
“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.”
–2Timothy 3:1-5
Another day and another former colleague proves the truth of Luke 21:17.
“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.”
–Luke 21:17
Another day and still more events provide irrefutable evidence of Mark 13:12.
“Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.”
–Mark 13:12
Though these circumstances are many times initially discouraging, this should strengthen and encourage the believer.
Because knowing that the signs in 2Timothy, Luke and Mark are happening as foretold, one can take comfort that the other events foretold in God’s Word are also true.
“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
“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:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
HOWEVER, apostate church folk will not get a heads-up from the so-called “Christian media.”
The end will over take them as a thief in the night.
“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
—1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
One point about which men are deceived: the return of Jesus Christ is NOT the “end of the world”–at least for believers. That day is also not “doomsday“–unless one is wicked or lost. The world has deceived men about a great many things–especially those men who believe they are privy to “secret, hidden knowledge.”
Since apostates and workers of iniquity don’t believe the only source of truth (the Bible) about what is coming, they will be totally and completely deceived about the events of that time.
Since apostates and workers of iniquity don’t believe the only source of the truth (the Bible) about what is coming, they will believe all sorts of tall tales, yarns, lies, and other cleverly-constructed narratives meant to deceive and distract.
Since apostates and workers of iniquity don’t believe the only source of truth (the Bible) about what’s coming, they will be totally surprised by their sudden, total and complete destruction.
Apostates, the lost, the wicked, the deceived: they will all have their eyes opened on the Day of the Lord.
As it turns out, this is a bad break: it is a day too late.
“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:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
“And he [Satan] brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”
–Luke 4:9-12′
DO NOT TEMPT GOD
Believers are given many wonderful promises in the Bible.
HOWEVER, God’s Word is clear: we are not to put God to the test [“tempt God“].
Testing God comes from unbelief and walking by sight can never be rewarded.
“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)”
–2Corinthians 5:7
The faithless tempting of God (which is behind the flesh-pleasing desire to see “miracles, signs and lying wonders“) and operating in faith will be a key choice of the end times.
The world will ooohh and aahhh over the man of sin’s satanic signs and lying wonders.
The wolves who prowl in the pulpits of the pagan churches will try and turn the faithlessness of desiring lying signs and wonders into “demonstrations of faith!”
And so, the world will be deceived.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
–Isaiah 5:20
The believer will demonstrate faith in God’s Word, knowing the source of end times signs and wonders.
And so, the believer will be spared perdition.
Beware!
Do not tempt God.
Do not put God to the test.
“Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.”
–Deuteronomy 6:16
“And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?”{Massah: that is, Temptation}
–Exodus 17:7
Does the reader disbelieve the Word of God?
IS the reader in the habit of tempting God?
There is still yet a little time left to change direction (repent), put your faith in Jesus Christ and be saved.
“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:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
But the more explosive portion of the NBC News and MSNBC forum, however, was Trump, who in a short half-hour refused to reveal a secret plan to defeat ISIS, said the American military was “reduced to rubble,” called Putin a “far more” capable leader than President Obama, defended and then walked back a tweet criticizing allowing women in the military, and revealed a new position on undocumented immigrants in the armed services.
“Last night’s NBC Commander-in-Chief Forum where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump gave live back-to-back interviews about national security was hosted by “Today Show” host Matt Lauer and a lot of people were very angry with his performance. Much of the criticism stemmed from Lauer not pressing Trump when he lied or didn’t answer questions. My question is, how did Matt Lauer even end up with this job? Was there a conversation at NBC like, “You know who would be great for the presidential forum?” And they were like, “Oh, the guy on ‘The Today Show’ who excitedly announces they’re now making pumpkin spice marshmallows.”
–James Corden
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) spoke at the Value Voter summit on Aug. 9 and attacked Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton “You don’t make fun of people who are impaired, have special needs, and whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton has made clear she is mentally impaired.”
August 9?
It only took a month for the crack journalists in the Corporate Media to report this.
[NOTE: The Value Voters Summit is currently taking place in Washington DC September 9-11, 2016.]
“The first thing we have to do is to give our churches their voice back,” Mr. Trump said. “I will repeal the Johnson Amendment if I am elected your president.”
Mr. Trump said in jest that he figures scrapping the 1950’s era provision named after then-Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson “is the only way I am getting into heaven.”
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
–John 14:6
“I am endorsing Hillary, and all her lies and all her empty promises. It’s the second-worst thing that can happen to this country, but she’s way behind in second place. She’s wrong about absolutely everything, but she’s wrong within normal parameters.”
-—P.J. O’Rourke
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31
“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
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:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
-—1 Corinthians 1:18-19
The case brought by a former chief financial services ombudsman alleges the payments company charged unlawfully high fees to stores when shoppers swiped their debit or credit cards and these were passed on to consumers in higher prices.
The retail climate is “terrible,” he said on the company’s first-quarter earnings call Thursday. “Better put, is it is one of the worst I have ever experienced in the 50 years I have been in this industry.”
OF COURSE, those who insist that the USA’s economy is GREAT! will point out that B and N competes with Amazon; Amazon being the the GREAT! U.S. economy shills’ answer to every inconvenient fact about the state of the abysmal US economy.
The forefathers of the current GREAT! U.S. economy shills were the unflagging flower floggers of the Dutch Tulip Mania.
The Day of the Lord elicits two completely different reactions from believers and non-believers.
BELIEVERS:
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
—Luke 21:28
NON-BELIEVERS:
“Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.”
—Jeremiah 25:34
“Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.”
—James 5:1
“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.”
—Isaiah 13:9
“They give you water if you’re thirsty and feed you if you’re hungry,” says Kaplan, a five-time veteran of the festival and a West Village-based entrepreneur and yoga enthusiast who declines to give her age. “Some people will dance for 18 straight hours.”
But today, she’s finding it difficult to readjust back to the real world as she returns to life in NYC.
Time is coming soon when most men will depend on other men to feed them if they’re hungry.
The guidance specifically mentions churches as falling under the “public accommodation” restrictions against “discrimination” on the basis of gender identity: “Even a church could be seen as a place of public accommodation if it holds a secular event, such as a spaghetti supper, that is open to the general public,” the MCAD explained.
2- The government is going to shut down one of its most effective tools for indoctrinating Americans.
3- The government is going to shut down one of its most effective tools for gathering information on Americans.
4- The government is going to shut down one of its most effective ways for making money from Americans.
The proof?
How long has the Corporate Media been hyping the scary narrative of “They’re going to shut down the Internet!” Oh, there will be a few deceptive bob and weaves in the near future–but if the Internet goes down, hold onto your hat, it’s SHOWTIME!
What does dying feel like? Despite a growing body of research about death, the actual, physical experience of dying—the last few days or moments—remains shrouded in mystery. Medicine is just beginning to peek beyond the horizon.
“Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”
—Mark 7:7-9
Let no man deceive you.
Christian churches in America are awash with gospels.
American church folk may hear a gospel message more times than other people around the world combined.
They hear the Prosperity gospel, the gospel of man, the gospel of self-actualization, the Word of Faith gospel, the gospel of pull-yourself-up-by-your-own bootstraps (“God helps those who help themselves“), the gospel of live your best life now!, the “We are all gods” gospel, the New Age gospel, the occult christianity gospel…
In fact, Americans church dwellers hear more gospels in a week of viewing so-called christian TV than those in most other countries hear in a lifetime.
A tiny, tiny portion of American church-goers may even hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.
When what seems right to man is added to what God has declared, then the result is “another gospel.” Galatians 1:8 and 9 make clear the result of other gospel messages.
Believers are to live by the Word of God.
We are to walk by faith. When this walk is compromised by following after the traditions of men–no matter how “spiritual” these traditions may sound–then the entire walk can be compromised.
It makes no matter from what men those traditions originate: Greek or Jew, Chinese or Catholic, science or pagan. They are still the traditions of men.
In the American churches of 2013, Jewish traditions are all the rage.
Grace Like Rain – This is one example of the belief system that has overtaken and, in some instances, conquered the churches in 2013 America.
Grace is like rain.
The Holy Spirit is a weak, easily-manipulated force that appears, not to accomplish a sovereign God’s work, but at the beck and call of the assembly.
The Holy Spirit is breathed in through the air.
Most of this non-biblical, occult imagery and doctrinal change has been drip-drip-dripped into the American churches through the use of antichrist “praise and worship” music which celebrates something other than Jesus Christ.
In fact, a Contemporary Christian Music song which proclaims Jesus in a non-repetitive way is rarer than American pew-sitters who understand the subtle, corrosive changes such music has brought to their faith “which was once delivered unto the saints.”
What’s the difference if one rejects Oprah Winfrey and embraces her New Age mysticism within the confines of the church walls?
What does it gain to mark Benny Hinn as a false teacher and yet proclaim Hinn’s heresies?
What does it matter to profess “Lord Lord” and not keep His commandments?
* – Put another way, the “deception surrounds and envelops us, existing in or spreading through every part of Christianity; is widespread, existing or being everywhere at the same time and is constantly encountered.
Many times these mockers will refer to experts, big words, complex mathematical equations which have nothing to do with the subject in question or finally, changing the subject.
Unsurprisingly, the linked piece is heavy on ridicule, arrogance and attitude.
Surprisingly, the biggest promoter of the flat-earth theory has been Satan’s Mouthpiece.
Else, how could anyone know about the movement’s resurgence?
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
–Matthew 24:6-8
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
