Don't Be So Simple Minded

Our path is made clear as we look into the word of truth. For His word is a light to our path. If any one should cause you to veer from the truth of the gospel this should be a red flag to us and they should be avoided. Even the broad way, which comes so close to the truth and looks so similar, leads to destruction. I am so grateful for the word we find in Romans today that can help us to make tough decisions. His word is true, trust that!

Rom 16:17
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Rom 16:18
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Rom 16:19
For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Rom 16:20
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Be blessed and go the narrow way and above all else...... LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus. :)

Anger Issues?

Do you find yourself getting angry quickly and loosing your temper? Do you know that anger is an emotion that is God given?
It is God given, but it is to be used in an appropriate manner. This may help you be blessed as you read the word of the Lord and be set free in Jesus name.

Eph 4:26 says
" Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph 4:27
Neither give place to the devil.
Eph 4:28
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that has a need.
Eph 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Eph 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Eph 4:31
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
Now above all else................ LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus!

Crafty lil Wolf

Eph. 4:13,14 "Till we all come into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive".

It is good to know the stature and fullness of Christ. In His light it becomes easy to see them who will bring cunning craftiness to deceive.
Beware the wolf that wears the sheep's attire. You may know them by their growl.

James 1:20 For the wrath of men does not accomplish the righteousness of God.

Just a little something on my heart tonight and thought I would share.

What About The Martyrs?

More Prophecy Being Fulfilled!

My heart goes out to the persecuted believers around the  world this morning. Join me in prayer for them would you? That they be covered in the grace and mercy of the loving God who gives us strength to endure every trial. Who is able to deliver our soul from the grip of tyranny and cruelty and who is also able to glorify His name despite the pain and sorrow that is wrought by the hands of the wicked.
Let us not turn a blind eye to their suffering but consider their situation as if it would be our own family or even ourselves as they are our brothers and sisters in Christ.

 Rev. 20:4 "And I saw thrones, and they that sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years".

This scenario of the future events in heaven from the book of the Revelation now have a historical reality on earth, the likes of which are being played out this very day and the two ends of this story are drawing closer together. The beheadings and tortures are occurring in mass quantities and in many different countries around the world. It is my hope to bring awareness to their or rather "our" situation and to keep us sober minded and to remember to ask ourselves "What About The Martyrs?"

It is a great thing to keep thinking positive and I am a true believer in "the power of life and death being in the tongue" but when we turn that into a name it claim it kind of gospel message then we are missing the mark by miles, talk about the broad way. Let us remember the verse in Rom 14:17  "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost". God is the provider in every situation and is able to give us above and beyond all that we can ask or think. That is to say that He will give righteousness, peace and joy in abundance- above and beyond all that we can ask or think as He also supplies are every need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus no matter the severity of our trials.

So many times I have heard people say that they were believing God for "certain material things" and that is all well and good, in fact I tried that one on myself until faced with the question.. "What About The Martyrs ?  But aren't even the wicked given these things in abundance. The trouble with this theology is if the bottom should fall out of our world we are at risk of loosing everything even our faith, but the thing that separates the true believer and the unbeliever is the covering of Godly righteousness, peace that surpasses all understanding and joy overflowing and even if the world crumbles at our feet we will not fear for we know that He is with us. These things, as we read their stories, the martyrs have even until the end.

So what about the martyrs then? They are the work of God unto His glory and are the thick cloud of witnesses for all of us to see that we can refrain from entering
into sin even under the threat of blood. If we will keep our minds on that fact then we will not be easily shaken for if God is for us then who shall we fear.
  
May the God who is able to keep you from falling give you righteousness, peace and joy in abundance and ......above all else LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus!

Christian And Catholics Embrace...WHAT?!

I am in awe after the message I just heard from those from the community of the charismatic faith and more specifically Kenneth Copland Ministries saying that the call of Unity with the Catholic Church should be embraced.
This, though it seems like a good thing from the outside, is a tragic turn away from biblical truth. It is the same as accepting all other faiths of the world and saying that to learn to coexist with every religion is good because it is the way of peace and tolerant love.

This is heresy and needs to be seen as a falling away from the true faith as is spoken of in prophecy (2 Thes 2:3-4)... saying that a great falling away is eminent before the Lord returns. The more that their ministry and others like it will convince people to turn from the truth and embrace this theology, the more will be lost to perdition and eternal judgment. I have also seen many embrace the theology and teachings of Rick Warren, who is pushing the acceptance mentality of the coexist theology with every religion, and I strongly urge you to understand that this is NOT the way of the Lord. 

I do not wish to offend anyone today but it must be said that we do not worship the same god when there is prayer to men, statues, saints, Mary, priest or pope or any other deity or angels or beings of enlightenment or light other than the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ and Him alone. Every other way is Idolatry and the bible clearly teaches that no Idolater shall enter into heaven. Even when we are reading from the same scriptures we can be talking about a different god altogether.

Idolatry is to create a god that you are comfortable with other than the true and living God.  If your god will allow you to go in a way that is contrary to the true scriptures then you have invented or followed a false god. If your god will let you remain in your sins and even encourage you to be yourself in them or allows you to pray or do works for your punishment to earn your penance , then you worship a false god or a figment of your imagination.

God will receive you as you are but He says that "He" will make you clean and justify you. It is a gift that is given because of His love, not because we deserve it or earned it.  He shows us in Eph 2:8-10 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that NOT of yourselves; for it is a GIFT of God, NOT OF WORKS lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works (THE WORKS OF GOD & FOR HIS PURPOSE), which God prepared beforehand that WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.

Salvation can not be through your works but through the saving work of  His Christ on the cross. Good works (works of God) are only "evidence" of His saving grace and His hand prints on our lives and testifies that we are born again, Adopted and grafted in to the vine & being made a new creature in Him.

Please understand that I write this message in the spirit of love and only hope to point all to righteousness and truth, for when you know the truth, the truth (Jesus) will set you free. ............................ above all else LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus "ALONE"!
