Effeminate Men…

Deuteronomy 22:5 (NKJV), “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.

The holy scriptures give strict rules and regulations, on how children of the Most High conduct themselves. One of the most overlooked, is proper gender roles. In today’s society it is not uncommon to see men wearing earrings, or carrying a bag that strongly resembles a purse, or the skinny jeans. This practice of the enemy is to emasculate men from the authority and image that God has given unto them. In return if men assume more of a effeminate role they loose their manhood in the process. This is one of the examples in which Satan is destroying the family household. If men begin to look and act like women, this action in return forces women to step into a leadership role due to the man’s neglect. In many cases this causes a switch of gender roles that God never intended. The book of Genesis 5:2 (NKJV) states, “He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.” The Bible states that we are created differently male and female, and the line between the two should never be crossed due to any fad or fashion. Through the wearing of women’s garments the agenda of homosexuality is promoted as well, giving promotion to their cause and effort. Christian believer’s if we are to inherit the Kingdom of God, we must properly reflect what God has ordained. The Apostle Paul addressed this in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV), “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” The original creation of man in God’s original plan has never changed with the times. I believe it is time that we start allowing the Holy Spirit to direct us on how to carry ourselves in this world we live in, not only for our salvation but more importantly our Families. Shalom…

Deborah and Jael, Powerful Women of the Old Testament…

2 Sep

6788312

Judges 1: 4-5, “And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.”

Little do many followers of Christ know today, is of how Jehovah God used some women in the old testament in the time before Jesus. We are all familiar with the New Testament stories in particular Mary the Mother of Jesus and those who told the Disciples of the empty tomb of the resurrected Christ. God used two women in the Old Testament in particular for a special purpose named Deborah and Jael. Deborah was a Prophetess which was raised up at the time Israel was commanded by God to take the plentiful land of Esdraelon from a Canaanite army led by Sisera, a powerful Canaanite leader.

This story begins with Deborah calling the reluctant general in the Israel army Barak and imparting in Him the Word of the Lord and what He had commanded of His people. Judges 1:6-9 reads, “and she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand. And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh” Jehovah empowered a woman due to the reluctance of the Israel Army commander Barak to carry out His commands. This speaks volumes that God uses everyone to do His will not always men, the Lord looks for any and everyone who will hear His voice.

He is not a respecter of persons (Romans 2:11). The battle commanded by Deborah played out in Judges 4:12-16,”And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor. And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon. And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet. But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.” God was true to His word and swept the Canaanite Army from the land in which he had asked Deborah to claim. The Lord utterly destroyed the all powerful army that the men of Israel were hesitant to do battle with, only Deborah the Prophetess was strong enough and had the Faith to trust in the Lord for her strength and not in what she saw on the battle field. The destruction laid upon the Canaanite army was completely overwhelming, causing the General to flee the battlefield into a Kenite camp inhabited by Jael. Judges 4:17-24 records Sisera fate, “Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No. Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples. So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.”

The Kenite woman Jael was moved by the Holy Spirit to finish the mission of removing Sisera from the land taken by Deborah at the command of Jehovah God. Judges chapter 4 and 5 shows many us that God uses anyone for the purpose of His glory, whether it be to command a Word such as Deborah or smite a enemy such as Jael did. God uses woman as such today in the office of Pastors, Apostles or those serving in the Armed Forces even and not just men as many Churches falsely preach today. The Lord loves all His children who in return fulfill His divine purpose. Shalom…

Apollyon, The Fallen Angel of the Bottomless Pit…

25 Aug

6232706

Revelation 9:11, “And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”

The ninth chapter of the book of Revelations gives us a revealing look into Spirit realm which will greatly effect the natural world as we know it. Here Saint John is given a glimpse of the release of the “Destroyer ,” Abaddon or Apollyon in the Greek the very powerful fallen angel who will greatly assist the Anti-Christ in the coming end time. Their are only four Angels mentioned by name in the Holy Bible, with each being very significant. Apollyon is the conquering Fallen Angel who will establish the New World Order or One World Government in which the False Christ will reign over to persecute Israel. This New World Government will be a re-birth of the Grecian Empire the same one that Alexander the Great ruled over with the help of this same Fallen Angel, in a time past as read in Revelation 13:2-3, ” And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. The “Beast,” spoken of here is Apollyon with one of his “heads,” wounded doesn’t relate to the Antichrist but to one of the Empires from the past namely the Roman Empire, with that deadly wound being “healed,” meaning re-established. This government is mentioned in Revelation 13:7, ” And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Apollyon will be a great deceiver to the world giving false doctrine, hope to all mankind who worship the Antichrist, gaining access to the worlds media to demonically influence every unbeliever, but also have strength and force to dominate and destroy as read by His murder of the two witnesses in Revelation 11:7, “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” It is important that throughout Apollyon’s release that we as Believer’s stay prayerful in that we do not fall away from the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, we need to stay in His word the Holy Bible so that we can recognize these events and rely the truth unto the rest of the world. Why us Christian’s because we will be the only one’s who will not be believe the lie of Satan, as stated in Revelation 13:8-9, ” 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. If any man have an ear, let him hear.” The Word of God says that all will worship Him, meaning the Antichrist except for Christians due to our names being written in the Book of Life. This is only though if we stand with Christ in these times recognize and hear and speak the truth to others, as read “Let any man have an ear, let him hear.” Shalom…

Narcissism in today’s Society…

20 Aug

871297

2 Timothy 3:1-7, “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. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Narcissism is defined as the inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vain. One of the main objectives of the enemy was to turn Mankind against its creator in rebellion against God and unto Himself to receive their glorification. This plan has been in fruition for the past millennium, with Satan and his Fallen Angels looking for the opportunity to lie and deceive many into offering their worship unto the Lord of deceit. Within the most recent years his plan has taken taken off, namely by the crippling of the American economy. In times of prosperity human beings are kinder and more trustworthy of people and their situations, but in times of strife and hardship normal people turn selfish and more focused on themselves than helping their fellow man out in a time of need. This same situation befell the children of Israel in the Book of Exodus, by them wanting to do more for themselves than for God. In this troublesome world we live the people of today have done the same. This agenda as stated before is to shift man’s focus from God and unto himself, robbing himself of that perfect communion with God in prayer and meditation. Satan when he was Lucifer in Heaven had this same mind frame, to shift the worship of God unto himself Isaiah 14:13 reads, ” For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.” Narcissism leads to vanity and selfishness, two of the main qualities the Most High despises due to the fact that the Lord wishes for all of Humanity to have fellowship and achieve oneness in worship. (Galatians 3:28, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”) In times of hardship we should turn more to God instead of from him, only He knows the right path for you to take and not yourself. I urge us all to take the time away from your Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace to show love to someone else and let them know that God is still on the throne and Jesus still saves! Shalom…

The Great White Throne Judgment …

9 Aug

3085928

Revelation 20:11-15, “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

The Great White Throne Judgement of God, spoken of here in the book of Revelation 20 :11-15, is the final judgement prior to the unsaved being cast into the Lake of Fire. This will take place right after the Millenium Reign of Christ known as The Kingdom Age (this being the time in which The Glorified Christ will return and cast the False Prophet and the Anti Christ into the Lake of Fire as read in Revelation 19:20), “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” After this time Christ will reign for a thousand years over the Earth, but will still have arrogant unbelievers here present with Him on Earth denying who He is. It is at this time that Satan will be released by God, to persuade these unbelievers into throwing in their lot with Him in one last attempt to destroy Christ, but is really the Lord’s way of finally cleansing the world of all who reject Him and His plan for Salvation, Revelation 20: 7-9 reads “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.” At this time Jesus will totally due away with every unrighteous person and Satan forever in the World, leaving only Christ and the Children of God to reign with Him forever. It is at this time that the final judgement will begin with The Book of Life being opened and everyone living and dead individual who ever lived will be judge, receiving life with Christ or the judgement of fire by refusing to repent for ones sins. I pray that will all stay active in promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so that on the day of The Great White Throne Judgement all our loved ones names are found written in the Book of Life, Shalom…

Humanism

3 Aug

7247736

Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

Humanism is the new-age ideological, political and religious belief that human man is God, and denies the existence of one true God. Humanism was established in 1836 in German schools, mostly being based off of philosophy to do away with the belief in the Bible as they believe has become outdated.

Humanist believe and teach that man needs to look within himself to find self worth, and in just become the “god,” of ones own life. Moral values are believed to be attained through experience, no one can teach a Humanist right or wrong they must experience first hand if they believe if something is good or bad. In short believing prematital-sex, homosexuality or any other sin is up to the individual self to say if their life is pleasing unto themselves. Humanist believe that man is ever evolving, that we descended out of the Earth and have now made it to this state of existence, which is also the belief of many evolutionist.

The statement of Humanism can be read in the Humanism Manifesto as, ” We can discover no divine purpose or providence for the human species. We are responsible for what we are or will become. No deity will save us, we must save ourselves.” The belief of Humanism is false due to the fact that nothing is Spiritual and all natural. Christians know and believe that we exists in a physical state but have a Soul, and Spirit as well. A very crucial mistake made by Humanist is that one cannnot look within themselves to find good because in the human nature dwells no good thing, Romans 7:18 states, “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.”

We can only be made right through Faith in Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Jesus is the only One who could look within Himself and find good, so in return we place Our Faith in Him which will allow Us to cling onto His goodness by way of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8.) Spiritually we join with Christ for the Fathers will, as stated in 1 Corinthians 6:17, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” Many men have chosen a path outside the will of God and have found death and destruction. Life was never intended to be based off of ones own experience, that is why the Holy Bible was written to warn against trusting in a sinful nature of ones own belief. I pray that all Humanist return to the one true God through Christ Jesus who can in return, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10. Shalom…

Death, Burial, and Resurrection the Foundation of the Christian Faith…

2 Aug

8828586

In 1 Corinthians 15:12 the Apostle Paul writes, “But tell me this—since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless.” The basis of our faith lies in the only way for man to escape His sinful nature and eternal separation from God is in Our Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God. Having a devote love for all creation God humbled Himself and was born a sinless perfect man unto a virgin, to die for the the sins of the world. The Lord knew that the only way for sin to be abolished from His creation was in fact to become one Himself ! By living a sinless life He was the perfect sacrifice to pay for the sins of the world (since there is no one who is without sin). By going to the Cross Jesus died so that we could live free from the evil desires of Our flesh and on the third day arose from the dead showing God approval of His sacrifice for the world. Share this information with others and allow the Good News of Jesus Christ comfort them and renew the will of God in Their lives!

The Atheist Agenda…

2 Aug

9592632

Psalm 14:1, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”

Atheism is the idea that no God or deities exist in our world today. They believe that man is the maker of his or her destiny and should not look to a higher power for guidance, which they believe leads nowhere except death and distorted truth. These individuals arise every few years mainly around Holidays that promote Jesus Christ due to the fact no one really pays Atheist much attention unless they are promoting something in a negative sense around the Christmas or Easter season. Satan uses these people to turn others against the Word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ by giving them a platform in times when our country is in dire need for a Savior to rescue us from the pain of the world. They start discussions that Christianity is more of a plague that hope for the world, by arguing past events and miracles described in the scriptures as lies. Atheism is ideology that leads to Humanism leading people to believe in oneself only and not God. Eventually the world will be filled with the belief and set the stage for the Anti-Christ to cause war with Israel seeing as how to many Israel is causing most of the World’s separation in the Middle East. Atheism is a seducing Spirit described in 1 Timothy 4:1-2, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.” These signs are shown to let us know that the Man of Sin is soon to arrive upon a world looking for a man to lead them into happiness and a better world, but being deceived into sin and death. I ask that we as believers minister to Atheist with love about just what God has done for use through Christ Jesus but never argue allow the Holy Spirit to move and if it be the Lord’s will many will be saved. Shalom…

The Two Witnesses…

31 Jul

3489949

Revelation 11:3-4,”And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”

John the author of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, describes two Holy witness of the Lord Jesus Christ who will arise during the last half of the Great Tribulation and give powerful testimony on the behalf of the Lord. The above verses describe the Witnesses clothed in sackcloth meaning that they will Preach of repentance back unto the favor of God (Isaiah 37:1-2; Daniel 9:3-5). These two men who will testify during the end time will be Enoch and Elijah the two men of God who never knew death but were translated before they had died (Genesis 5:21-24; Malachi 4:5). The book of Revelation states this in Chapter 11 verse 4, “These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth” a reference to Zechariah Chapter 4. These men will Preach the truth unto the Nations and will be in direct opposition of the Anti-Christ who will be in control of the majority of the world at that time. The Bible states that after their three and a half year Ministry the they will be murdered by Anti-Christ by way of the Beast from the Bottomless Pit in Revelation 11:7, “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” The Bible goes on to say in verses 8-10, “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.” This testify’s of the evilness of the unredeemed in the last days, who will rejoice at the death of the men of God who will teach the truth of the Holy scriptures being happy and sharing of gifts. We can see this happening even today, as good men and women are deemed judgmental heretics when they preach against sin and what the Word of God actually says that repentance is necessary to be washed in the Blood of Christ. The scripture goes on to say in Revelation 11 and 12, “And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.” We know that teaching the Word of God is not always met with praise and thankfulness but at times with opposition and hardships. As we approach the last days say faithful to the scriptures and proclaim truly what it says. That even though we may be shunned of this world, God will always raise us up to be glorified through Christ. Shalom…

Antichrist, The coming false messiah…

31 Jul

4522661

Revelations 13:1-2, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.”

The book of Revelations reveals Satans last great deception to deceive mankind into the practice of false god worship, in exalting himself as the one true God. The Antichrist is the Devils main person of interest in his unholy trinity (with Satan as God, the Antichrist as Jesus, and the False Prophet as the Holy Spirit.)

The Antichrist unlike many teachings about him, will not be a religious figure but more of a charismatic political leader, who will have great influence in the world we know today. Once arriving on the world stage the devil incarate will first appear as a peace keeper but will morph into something entirely different from what he first appeared. Revelations 13 speaks of the Antichrist appearing, “upon the sand of the sea,” (sea representing people) and having seven heads and ten horns ( representing the seven empires that have persecuted Israel in the past, with the “ten horns” actually meaning the seventh head; the “ten horns” representing ten nations yet to come.)

The crowns spoken of here, as being crowned means that these nations have come to power and will use their political means to aid the Antichrist, these nations will be located in the Middle East, parts of Europe, and North Africa, all being part of the old Roman Empire territory (Daniel 7:7-8.) The book of Daniel gives us insight upon His arrival as a world power in Daniel 11:36-37, “And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.”

Much like Lucifer did who became prideful upon his position in Heaven made the attempt to direct the worship towards himself and instead of God, Ezekiel 28. In just being cast out Ezekiel 28:17-18. The Antichrist will be a extreme Humanist (glorification of self) who will glorify himself overall, regarding no Religion or even the need for women, which is why I believe the Homosexual agenda is being pushed so hard in the world today, with it being a sign of the coming false Christ.

The Antichrist will turn his wrath towards Israel and the nations of the world demanding servitude and obedience unto his ungodly will. Luckily for the Church we will not see the Antichrist come into power as according to 2 Thessalonians 2:7-9, “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders. The “One who holds back,” the power lawless one (Antichrist) is the Church which will be “taken away,” or raptured up. The Antichrist will be empowered by Satan having lying signs and wonders but the forces of darkness will not prevail, as stated in 2 Thessalonins 8 saying, “WHOM THE LORD WILL CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH, AND SHALL DESTROY WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING. It is important to know that all false doctrine, false worship (celebrities) and Humanist promotion of self is all one and the same promoting the Antichrist spirit coming into the world. Every Christian needs to spread the Truth of the Gospel which is of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, so that the world may escape the tribulations of the Antichrist and experience the joy of the Lord Jesus! Shalom…
