Nutrition is FAR more important than vaccines.

As is exercise and fitness.

…..

Covid jab protection wanes within 6 months – UK researchers.

……

“As the Aug. 31 evacuation deadline looms, millions of Afghans face the risk of starvation, disease, and human rights abuses.”

……

Vaccine mandates are not based on hard science, but are purely a pretext and a means to a political end, which is to force everyone to have some form of universal ID by which each individual’s life and everything they do can be monitored and fully controlled by the government.

So, the success of this plan hinges on how many have blind faith in the government.

…..

“The vaccine debate really is not that complex. You either believe that the government should have full control of what is injected into you and your children, or you don’t. There are plenty of other things we can talk about, but the core is medical tyranny vs medical freedom.”

  • Dr Ben Tapper

……

Interesting point of view:

“Vaccination is not about health, it’s about giving every world citizen a QR-CODE and a Covid-19 passport, in order to be able to control them. Vaccination is part of the Great Reset, initiated by the Partners of the World Economic Forum.”

……

Woke ideology denies the basic human right or freedom of disagreeing with it.

……

How come it’s “Biden’s fault” and not the fault of those who voted for him?

……

The debacle in Afghanistan was partly caused by the naivety and rose colored glasses through which the Democrat party views Islam, as US Muslims support the Democrats. Biden has implied that the Taliban could be trusted to some extent. It’s dangerously naive.

You would think that with the wave of Liberalism engulfing Christendom that Legalists would also have been swept up by it, abandoning their legalism for the new “freedom” of redefining sin into something natural and good.

But, no, the legalistic demons don’t give up easily. The devil doesn’t care whether you are a Liberal or a Legalist, he’s got you either way.

……

If you’ve served the Lord for many years and then start thinking, ‘What did I get out of it? What’s in it for me?’

The Lord might ask you, ‘What did you expect to gain for yourself by serving me?’.

It could then be time to actually begin serving Him, and no longer serve yourself.

…..

God is infinite.

The Psalmist asked Him,

‘What is man that you are mindful of him?’

Know that the infinite God is mindful of you.

Believe it, even if you find it hard to believe.

…..

Commented

Under grace, not under law.

Those who are born again and filled with the Spirit know how “it works”.

The Holy Spirit leads them to live a holy life.

But without the Holy Spirit you can’t live a holy life, no matter how much you try and keep the law.

The Holy Spirit EMPOWERS holiness.

The law, in itself, does not give us the power to fulfill it.

The purpose of the law is to show us we are sinners and need a Savior.

The law is powerless to set us free from sin.

Every legalist you meet is still bound by the power of sin.

Legalism doesn’t produce victory over sin.

So… we obtain the Holy Spirit and His power by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ.

“The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

(1 Corinthians 15:56-57)

“What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.”

(Galatians 3:19)

“Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm. But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.”

(1 Timothy 1:5-11)

……

Every single thing that God has made is a marvel in itself.

Have a look around.

The wonders are there to produce wonder in us.

…..

The glory that people can give you is utterly worthless.

……

Christ is all sufficient.

So, if you’re in Him, and He is in you, then you’re more than okay: you’re more than a conqueror.

…..

Wisdom is to understand what wisdom actually is: its importance, its purpose, and our need for it.

When we’re young we lack experience, so we tend to underestimate its value.

…..

Love for God can and should find expression in a hundred facets of how we lived this very day.

…..

The source and object of joy is Jesus Christ, Himself.

…..

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”

(Romans 8:28-30)

“All things work together for good” means God is ruling over all situations and circumstances, and ruling over the devil and his power.

His rule over everything does not mean He is the cause of evil, or makes people commit evil, but it means, concerning His elect, that God will work what happens for good, as He is able to do this, whether people have the faith to believe it or the understanding to comprehend it.

Every atom is held together by His word.

He is greater than anyone can possibly imagine.

…..

‘In God we trust’ has to be, in God ALONE we trust, and not hedge our bets. This honors Him.

…..

“And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years”

(Revelation 20:4-6)

This is proof the rapture and resurrection doesn’t happen until after the Beast is in power.

If the rapture and resurrection took place before the Beast comes, then there would need to be a second resurrection for these mentioned here who are martyred by the Beast.

……

Eternity is a long time.

It’s a long time to be in Heaven.

And it’s a long time to be in Hell.

Eternity never ends.

The human soul is the real you, and the soul can’t cease to exist, so you can never cease to exist.

Be reconciled to God today through believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us fear God, and repent of our sins.

……

Even if Republicans come back into power it doesn’t mean anything has changed regarding the sin of America and God’s judgment of it.

…..

The Left hates Larry Elder because he is living proof their narrative is false.

……

We are what we are, in Christ, purely by the grace of God, and, if we sin it’s not because the grace of God failed us. We failed, not God. Jesus never loses sheep. If you sin and backslide it doesn’t prove you never knew Jesus or were never saved or never had the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t mean Jesus failed to keep His sheep. It means we have a choice every moment as to whom we will serve, and we can either surrender to the power and grace of the Holy Spirit, or resist the Spirit.

Reconcile these two truths:

  1. “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” (1 Cor. 15:10)
  2. “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” (1 Cor. 9:27)

(By the way, “discipline my body” doesn’t mean self flagellation or asceticism. It means to be in control of the body’s demands)

The point is, self control, choice and responsibility can’t be abdicated to the grace of God. If we sin, we can’t say the grace of God was not sufficient to keep us from sinning, we are responsible for what we do or don’t do.

….

We never know if someone is able to be taught the truth unless we actually try to teach them. So let’s try.

……

Christian, if you don’t belong to this world, then, where do you belong? Figure out where you belong and you’re on the right track.

……

Deliverance from deception and deliverance from demons are often the same thing, because demons deceive people.

Therefore, without the truth in Jesus there is no deliverance.

……

First century Christianity would seem bizarre in today’s context.

….

The Military Industrial Complex is evil…. except when its products save you from a grisly death.

Sarcasm here.

……

If we care about the people of Afghanistan we should at least pray for them.

……

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

This suggests that if we are anxious about something, then, instead of remaining anxious about it we should talk to the Lord about it and ask Him to take away the anxiety and provide grace or a solution to the problem, and replace the anxiety with His peace.

But it doesn’t suggest that we should only pray if or when we are anxious.

……

It’s not scientifically plausible or defensible to believe the universe created itself.

…..

“…How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him… ? ” (Heb. 2:3)

To anyone reading this:

How will you escape if you neglect so great a salvation?

…..

If you want to live you need to be connected to the One who gives eternal life.

Now, who could that be?

Notes on the Rapture

August 23, 2021

“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep (die) but we shall all be changed – in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Cor. 15:51-52)

“For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep (who died).

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (1 Thess. 4:15-17)

Here is the order:

  1. The last trumpet sounds.
  2. The resurrection of the righteous.
  3. Believers caught up into the sky (‘Rapturo’ in Latin) to be with those resurrected and with the Lord.

a. The “last” Trumpet indicates there are others preceding it, but no others after it. Seven Trumpet blasts are described in Revelation chapter 8.

d. There is only one resurrection of the righteous. It simultaneously occurs when the believers are caught up in the sky. The resurrection of the unrighteous happens after Christ rules the earth one thousand years: Rev. 20:4-6.

e. In Rev. 20:4 we see that those martyred during the time of the Antichrist are included in this first resurrection, which happens when believers are caught up into the sky. This is proof the catching up will not take place until after the Antichrist has killed believers (but not all, for many remain until the catching up).

f. If there were a catching up into the sky before the Antichrist, then, that would mean there are two resurrections of the righteous. But there is reference to only one resurrection of the righteous in scripture.

(Just presenting notes here. Not claiming to fully understand the Book of Revelation and how the very last days will pan out.)

Christian, if you’re feeling burdened right now it could be because the Holy Spirit is burdened by the fact your brothers and sisters are being butchered in Afghanistan. That burden is intended for us to pray.

For example:

……

If you truly believe Jesus Christ then you’re okay.

According to Him.

If you want religion, there’s plenty to choose from.

If you want eternal life then there’s only one who can give you that.

Eternal life flows from Jesus Christ, alone.

That’s what He said.

……

If you’re a faithful Christian, all is well, even if you don’t feel it is.

Jesus said, “Abide in me, and I in you”.

On the world stage, unity is more about having a common enemy than actual unity.

Who is “the enemy”, then, who can be the catalyst for this “unity”?

Bible believing Christians?
The Jews?

What could bring militant Islamic extremists and Woke American Liberals into a common embrace?

A common enemy.

Christians.

Actual Christians, that is.

……

If God is listening to and answering your prayers, then, that’s a very productive use of your time, isnt it?

……

The Day of Vengeance is coming.

Injustice, violence, cruelty, torture, murder etc. will indeed be recompensed by Jesus Christ. These people are living on borrowed time with already one foot in the grave.

The pain these perpetrators will have to endure will be infinitely more than the pain they inflicted.

“When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.”

Revelation 6:9-11

Seeking spiritual experiences or phenomena is WRONG.

However, praying for the sick and they get healed, casting out demons and they go, praying in an unknown language privately…. these are all solidly BIBLICAL and we should be encouraged to have faith for God to do these things.

When you read this don’t think I mean like Benny Hinn strutting around a stage putting on a self aggrandizing show to dazzle the simple minded…

Think of Jesus of Nazareth in the market places.

Think of the early Christians in homes and in public squares.

……

“…Christ in you, the hope of glory…”

(Col. 1:27)

For those who are saved, the Holy Spirit lives inside you joined to your spirit. The Spirit of God is God. The spirit of man is man. We are joined, spirit to Spirit, with God, and yet we never become God, we always remain a creature of God. Yet, the Father calls us His sons because we are IN His Son. “If anyone is in Christ he is a new creation”.

So, this is where our REAL LIFE is. The presence of God in our innermost being is the source of our life. Scripture says, “Christ is our life”.

May such foundational truths guide and direct our thinking, our being, and what we do with our life today.

Christian, if you’ve forgotten how much grace you’ve received then imagine how your life would have turned out without it?

…..

Regardless of how the vir – us came into existence, it was an answer to the dreams of globalists and power hungry politicians, and they can’t afford it to end until they’ve fully exploited it for their goals.

……

“Science isn’t what some government official says on a given day. It’s a method that relies on free speech, open debate, and skepticism.”

……

Comment on Matthew 25:1-13

The “virgins” represent Christians: Half are wise and the other half foolish. Only the wise Christians are ready to meet Jesus when He returns. And to the foolish Christians Jesus will say, “I don’t know you!” and they will be left behind and shut out of Heaven.

The foolish Christians’ light went out because they ran out of oil, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Had they lived wisely, in communion with the Spirit, they would have had enough oil to keep their lamps burning bright and light their way. Any form of foolishness or neglectfulness toward God in Christians is sufficient grounds to receive a warning not to be one of the “foolish virgins”, who will be left behind when Jesus unexpectedly comes like a thief in the night. The parable is a warning not to be a foolish Christian, not to exchange your birthright for the flesh, like Esau did.

The designation the Lord gives is either “foolish” or “wise” Christian. We can judge ourselves as to which category we are in, so we won’t be judged.

“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’

But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “

(Matthew 25:11-12)

So…

The whole parable hinges on this truth: the wise Christians knew the Lord Jesus, and the foolish ones didn’t.

If people don’t know the Lord, then He declares He doesn’t know them.

So, here we have the tension in this passage.

The foolish ones thought they knew Him because they called Him, Lord!

Yet they didn’t really know the Lord, even though they called Him, Lord!

……

We wouldn’t want to live this life as though this were the only life there is.

Things which might seem meaningful to us might not be so meaningful to Jesus Christ our Lord.

We live in a time when “Christian” or “church” can mean anything people want it to mean.

The way the vir-us mutates it appears it’s not going away and will be a permanent fixture in society, as influenza is.

There is another very safe and effective treatment but we’re not allowed to mention it.

The Bible is truly the word of God.

If you were God, wouldn’t you want your people to have all the truth they needed to know about you written down in a book written by you, so then they would definitively and surely know what you are like, what you promised, and what you require?

You wouldn’t want people to have their own imaginings about these things, or follow what others have imagined, rather, you would write it down and settle it once and for all, so all people can get the truth DIRECTLY from you, with no intermediaries.

That’s what God did.

Jesus said the whole Bible testifies of who He is.

He arranged for all the truth we need to know to be recorded for us.

So there’s no mistake what He meant and what He promised, and what He requires.

Someone might ask, If God gives His Spirit to all believers then there is no need for a Book?

But here’s the problem, you need the Book to know which is the Holy Spirit and which is another spirit. Otherwise, then, the truth becomes subjective, and it’s just whatever people feel it is.

The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible, so, obviously, He will point us to what He has written.

The Holy Spirit will never appeal to the Holy Spirit, but will appeal to the word of God which He inspired.

This is what Jesus taught: “It is written!”.

If it’s not “It is written”, then forget it.

How would we know that “God has spoken to us by His Son” if this truth were not written down and the text preserved till today?

The world will still be here tomorrow, but you or I may not be.

Many Christians want Jesus to come soon, but not the things which must take place before He comes. If we want Jesus to return we must also say “bring it on” to the New World Order.

……

“Inclusive” means everyone is included, except followers of Jesus Christ.

……

The Bible tells us that everyone will be judged, and it lists the things we will be judged for, so we can know the verdict and sentence in advance, and flee to Christ Jesus, our only Savior, Redeemer and Friend.

The Bible shows us the standard or criteria we’ll be judged by on Judgment Day.

And if you’re interested you can have a look.

…….

Listen out for the Holy Spirit speaking through those you might esteem the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. There is only one Holy Spirit, and He is in the least to the greatest in the Kingdom.

……

The more spiritual one thinks they are, the more blind they are.

……

People generally don’t think of God as a Person who has a mind. They tend to have an Eastern understanding, that God is some mythological or philosophical spirtual concept, and not an actual Person. Like “the force” in Star Wars.

They don’t understand that we are made in His image.

We are persons.

We are made in the image of this Person.

Get it?

This is not about lowering God to man’s standard.

It is understanding what exactly “made in the image of God” tells us about the God in whose image we are made.

The Lord Jesus related to His Father as a Person, not a force.

The Person of the Father spoke in the Hebrew language to the people present several times, saying, “This is my beloved Son…”.

The God of the Bible, whom Jesus said was His Father and was with from all eternity, is an intelligent being, which means He knows and understands everything. He maintains the lives of nearly 8 billion people all at the same time, as well as innumerable other creatures. We can’t fathom such a mind. That is off the charts computing power.

…….

In the political and religious world there’s always two sets of rules: One for me, and one for thee.

……

What about the Christian who accepts the authority of Scripture but ignores the example of the Apostles in how the early church functioned? They don’t see the example set by the Apostles as having any authority in itself.

……

A kingdom is a government and a domain. When you are born again you are transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Christ. Then, you are a subject of His kingdom and have a part or share in it, a stewardship, a participation, a responsibility, a portion, an inheritance.

This stewardship is now your business. You want to faithfully serve in the part of His kingdom allotted to you by the King. You certainly have no business anymore with the kingdom of darkness, which would be treason. And you have no business meddling with the stewardship of other members of the Kingdom. You are busy enough fulfilling your own stewardship, knowing you will have to answer for that, and not have to answer for someone else’s.

“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.” Colossians 1:13

“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters.”

1 Peter 4:15

…….

Prayer is exciting because God is listening and hears what you’re saying.

…….

Every Christian on earth has to trust God today just the same as anyone else.

……

One of the indicators we love someone is we pray for them.

…….

“So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” (Rev. 17:3)

In the simplest terms it means Christianity doing a deal with the devil. It’s a cosy, mutually beneficial relationship: “Christians” get approval by the world, and the devil gets so many more subjects, who think they’re Christians. But this relationship comes to a bloody end because the devil terminates it by destroying the “woman”.

The lesson being, never make a deal with the devil.

What you compromise to gain you will end up losing.

We could go into detail how “Christianity” incorporated pagan concepts to increase popularity.

……

For the true Christian, Christ is right there with you through even the worst day of your life.

……

The true Christian learns afresh each day by experience that their true life is in the Spirit, it is a spiritual life, abiding in Christ.

……

Our days are numbered, quite literally. God numbers them. He knows exactly how many more days you will be staying on the earth.

……

All forms of hatred are bad, and yet we live in a time of irrational hatred, where it’s mystifying as to why they hate so much when there doesn’t seem to be a rational cause. I could get more specific but would be censored.

We are not mystified as to the spiritual causes of this.

……

There’s a bunch of religions, but how many Saviors are there?

Jesus became our Savior because we can’t save ourselves.

……

A gift of the Spirit is a supernatural gift, which means you are doing something impossible for you to do unless the Holy Spirit empowers you to do it.

This should be normal for Christians, doing the impossible every day, and they know it.

……

The goal or vision needs to be stronger than our weakness.

….

Gender issues:

“Biology has evidently been completely subordinated to ideology”

……

You can’t think about God without thinking of the truth about Him.

And you can’t think of the truth about Him without thinking about what He has said.

……

In chains and in a dungeon, Paul taught us we can still be full of joy and the glory of the Lord, and employed in the Kingdom work of praying for others, even if we are stuck somewhere.

….

Would you consider Jesus to be the closest and best friend you have?

……

One meaning of the Kingdom of Christ is that He is personally involved in every aspect of your life.

……

Twenty four hours is a long time. We can pray for a lot of folks in that time.

……

If one takes the position that it is only through exposure to Calvinism or Arminianism that Christians can understand the Bible, that would indicate one believes that Calivinism or Arminianism is the filter or lens through which one understands the Bible.

……

When you trust God, He recognizes it.

That’s the whole point.

……

Grab a hold on eternal life before you die.
