Will those that call themselves “Christian” stand up and be counted?

As I have stated in other posts those that called themselves “Christian” have been too silent in the past. As a result this nation is no longer a nation under God but a nation ran by pagans. Now they will challenge this statement. In fact they already have challenged it. First with Rowe v. Wade, more recently with gay marriage being illegally shoved down the nation’s throat when two Justices that performed gay wedding did not recuse themselves as is required by law due to the fact that they performed the ceremonies. Then when it came out that the aborted babies were being cut up and their organs sold as no more than a human sacrifice and now with the imprisonment of someone standing upon their religious values no matter if they are a government employee or not, they should not be forced to act against their beliefs.
Now there has a been a stir within those that call themselves “Christian,” but is it enough. Are they notifying their congressperson and senator about where they stand? Not enough. Are they doing sit down strikes in front of their county offices? No they are not. It is time for Christian to have marches. It is time for Christians to make themselves heard. It is time to show that Christianity will no longer stand for this nation to continue in its pagan lifestyle much like Rome was in the early centuries of the first millennial after the coming of Christ.
That nation that has conquered most of the world fell apart in a large part due to its debauchery and as that debauchery was thrown into the light and shown what it was and what it meant. That can only be done through the teaching of the Bible and those willing to stand up for it and God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

The next stage has begun

The day the Christians have dreaded has come. The once proud and beautiful United States of America has fallen. No the nation has not ceased to existed, but it has fallen from the blessing of God. When a child of God is sent to jail in the U.S. for standing by their faith and their beliefs then it is clear this nation is no longer under God protection but it is of the world and the world’s current master.
We have seen it coming. We have tried to get the message out, for this is what we have been taught to do within the Bible. We are to spread the word and we are to be persecuted for doing so. What is truly sad is those that oppose those that stand for God and still think they are one with Him. It is for these that those that truly profess to be of the Body through their actions showing what they truly are makes them weep and morn for the loss.
But what is lost?
The Bible makes it clear that those that are friends with the world and enemies of God. This is why we that know where we stand with God are driven to tears and sorrow and pain. For those that we love and those that we have befriended and those we have seen up close and afar have shown what and who is important to them and it is not God.
If you befriend a sinner and do not reprove, rebuke or exhort them to turn from their ways. Not only do they hate God but they hate those that they have so-called “befriended.” Yet they do not see it. They are blinded for they have embraced the world so tightly that they are unwilling to release it. They are totally unaware that the tighter they hold on to the world the more it ensnares and binds them to the chains of slavery called sin. A slavery that will not allow them to see the glory of God, but the wrath of God, for God is to be feared and to be loved. If you do not fear the consequences of your actions then you have not fear of God and instead of worshiping God you are daring God to do His worst to you.
The thing is, why would you challenge God in such a manner? We are but mere mortals whom he created. Who do you really think is going to win? It is not you, that is for sure, and thus you now understand the sorrow we feel.
This day is a day of true sorrow to the world, for another mark against it has been sealed. That is two within this very year, and you think the wrath of God is not far behind?

You are only a child of God if:

During the protest in Kentucky over the county clerk refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples A song was sung by the Christian side that states “We are a child of God” the reply form those on the gay side was “So are we.”
Well um…. ah… no you real are not.
You are children of the world. You have embraced sin and wish to live in sin. You say that we can live in sin and be loved by God.
Revelation 3: 15-16 – I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
You are lukewarm wishing to live in sin and be one with God. It clearly states that the Glorified Jesus Christ says he will spit you from His Body. Very clear what that means. No way around it.
1 John 2:15 – Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
James 4:4 – Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Again it is made very clear if you are of the world you are against God. What is in the world? Sin. All Sin, which includes homosexuality.
Romans 1: 24 – 27 – Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Do I want you to go to the pit of fire? No I do not. Do I want you to repent of your sin? Yes I do.
Why because God DOES love you, but as long as you embrace sin you are telling God you hate Him.
You must end your life of sin. You must not marry someone of the same sex. You must not have sex with someone of the same sex. You must leave this lifestyle. It is not out of hate, but out of love that I beg you to turn away from your sin.
God is real. Jesus is real. Eternal life is real, even though we are not at that point yet. Those that embrace the world have only one destiny unless they repent and stop their sin. It is not going to be a nice end. There will be pain. There will be fire. There will be worms eating your flesh.
Isaiah 66:24 – And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

There is nothing once you die.

There are those that believe this title. Then why is there life? What is the purpose? To accumulate all you can in fifty or sixty years, no matter what the cost or who you hurt to do so. Hoping that as you do your name will be a name remembered throughout history in some form. The odds of either of those things happening is extremely bad for must upon this earth. Then what is the purpose?
That mentality shows itself to be faulty and full of false hopes and dreams. Yet many try to live life in just this manner.
This is what I know to be fact from reading the Bible. Now don’t laugh, just read on and see where this is going.
The Bible says that God knows us before we are even born. So your name is already known by the One that created this entire universe, so the need to seek fame is not required.
We are all promised an eternal body, so if we get a body that is designed to live for all eternity then there is something beyond this life. A something that will last beyond this mere and short one hundred year, in fact billions upon billions of years.
This is mentioned in the Bible as well. There isn’t a lot of detail but what is certain is that heaven is just a holding area for those that have passed this life at this time until the Great White Throne Judgment occurs, and that is only for those that have served God well and loyally. Other events happen before the judgment but due to the topic of this particular post they are not necessary to go into.
Here is the bad news though. So say you are someone that has made a ton of money and left a trail of both literal and figurative bodies behind you as you excelled at your tasks. So since there is nothing beyond this life in your eyes then there is no God, no Jesus and nothing to follow this temporal existence we now live in.
Then on that day of judgement you waken and are call before God. Your life is reviewed and the trail of blood you have left behind says one thing to Him. Well there is something that will happen in your new body and it will last for decades, centuries, millennial after millennial. It is extremely warm and unpleasant and there is a lot of pain involved and it is eternal.
Is this really the type of worldly treasure you wish to give yourself?

God only sees us when we are clean in His eyes

Now why do I bring up this point in the title of this post. In Jeremiah 1:5 it is stated that God knew him before he was conceived. It is true that Jeremiah was a prophet, but do you not think that God knows all before they enter the womb? The implication is yes He does. This means that our souls exist and are pure before we enter the womb.
That being the case, then the moment our souls enter the body forming within the womb is a human being. This means that the aborting or killing of this child within the womb is murder.
Now let me make this perfectly clear. Due to the way people have been taught since even before Rowe vs. Wade the child within the womb is seen as not a person and so can be killed without consequences. I know many that have been through an abortion, and all ultimately feel guilt for their actions. Why? Because deep within them they know that it was a living soul within the still forming body, and it was cut off from the life it was to have.
Now here is my next point. There are those that state people are born with sin already within them. If that were so how could God know them before they were even conceived? He could not. Then to say someone is born already burdened with a sin is a lie, because God cannot see us till we have been cleaned by the blood of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ if our souls are already fraught with sin.
So now we have two major sin in the eyes of the Lord exposed for what they truly are. Something that should not be done or encouraged to happen.
Now how is this for an encouraging statement? The Bible states many times that the parents and the community are to teach all children of the Bible. This is no longer done. As a result sin has been running rampant throughout the United States of America. Those that have made it difficult to teach the Bible will have the roughest time when it is time for them to stand before God, but I feel equally as guilty beside them will be their parents for failing to teach their child of God and what is good in his eyesight. We are told to teach our children of God constantly so that when the time is right they will make an informed decision. So God can once again know us through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Too many, far too many are lost souls. For many it will be extremely difficult to walk away from the sins they have embraced. Why? Because they were never correctly taught of the Bible and its true message. Too many go about teaching a false gospel that states that they can still live within the sin and see God, but they never will unless they listen to the true message of God and stop living in their sin.
So please understand God knows you by name before you are even conceived, but after we leave the womb if not killed by the lie of abortion it is then that we are exposed to this world of sin. It is during our childhood if not taught correctly that we start to think the wrong way and ultimately start making the wrong choices after the age of accountability. All of our souls exist before they enter into the womb, so learn the truth from the Bible and do not allow those that wish to turn you away from righteousness win. God knew you once and wishes to be reunited with you, it is in your ballpark. Only you due to free will can make the move back toward the Creator of the Universe. Only by pleading to Him through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ can you ever be able to be seen by God once again. Turn your back upon your sins. Understand you cannot be born with sin already within. Also understand that at the very moment of conception your soul enters into that fertilized egg from the very feet of God who knew you and your name, and so knows that any child within the womb is a living human being.

Escapism = slavery

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , , , Leave a comment

More and more our children are being taught to live as they feel free to do as they please. They are told to seek out what makes them happy, what is pleasing no matter the cost. They are told to live their life’s in the moment, in the temporary pleasures they receive for living life to please themselves. They seek out any type of pleasure from video games, to drugs to sex, no matter the type of the latter and embrace it and enjoy it. For all there is in this life is your own personal satisfaction. What is worse this is not only coming from outside sources but from within their own homes as well. They are not being taught right from wrong but what feels good and what does not. It makes them feel good to kill innocent animals then they start to hurt kids younger than them then they seek out guns and go into a school and kill their fellows because it feels good. Then reality sets in and the kill themselves.
They take drugs to escape from reality only to have it smack them hard in the face so they take more drugs until they are finally fully a slave to the drug and cannot escape it.
They indulge in their lusts seek after any that will please them be it of the same sex or not as they experiment as they come into puberty, and the first one that give them the thrill the seek they stick too. Filled with their lust and locked into the slavery that follows.
Those in power encourage the young to become pregnant for the lust of money as they herd them into a clinic like cattle to tear out the unborn child within them. A sacrifice to their masters: greed and control. Then they cut up the once soul filled body for its parts like what was done in olden times to be cleansed in the site of their idols, but now it is not a statue that is the idol, but a name a group that they worship making them slaves unto it.
All of this is true human nature and those in power that encourage this know this full well. They use it to entrap, ensnare, and enslave the masses so they will be free to enjoy their lust for wealth and power and control of those they look down upon. They see them as nothing but animals to be herded and so openly and brazenly lie to them not caring any longer if any knows they are lying for they fear no consequences for their actions for they are the ones in control. A slave to their lust of power.
This is what happens when you deny there is a God. This is what happens when you turn your back upon His laws given unto us by Moses, but they do not see it. They are blinded to their temporal lusts thinking this is all there is within the world. Not realizing it is a lie. Not realizing there is more than just the here and now, and as they embrace their shackles they chain others to the chains that keeps growing ever longer every day. All I can do is pray and weep and hope that someone, someone hears these words and realizes and awakens before it is too late.
2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
John 8: 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Here is the thing that those that wish to enslave you don’t want you to know. Through the teaching of Jesus Christ as well as the rest of the Bible, we learn what is right and what is wrong and in so doing can avoid enslavement to our sins and thus become truly free. You will think with your own mind and understand what is going on about you and you will see what is good and what is not. Will you be able to avoid all sin? No you will not but you will have the freedom to be able to turn from it and ask forgiveness when you falter and fail.
Does this mean you can still take drugs, live in lust of sexual desires be they with someone of the same or opposite sex? No you cannot. We are told to live in moderation which means we take a little of this and a little of that but it also states that some things are seen as acts that are sickening to God. Very few things are seen as an abomination to God. One is human sacrifice the other is homosexuality.
Ruth was a priestess to an idol and commit human sacrifices of babies but she repented her ways and become Jewish and was accepted by her mother-in-law after her husband was killed, a Jew she had fallen in love with. She kept her promise not to return to her sin and God rewarded her with a new husband who was the judge of the Jews at the time. She lived within the laws of God and was seen as good and rewarded.
You must turn away from you lusts and desires. It will be painful for you are being told to turn from something and or someone you have come to “love.” This “love” though is enslavement to this sin you have embraced. You must reject this lifestyle if you ever wish to be free. For at the end of your enslavement is that which I personally wish no one to have to encounter and be forced to live with for all eternity.
You must also understand this. God knew us before we were conceived. For him to know us before we were even thought of by our parents’ means we were pure and good and holy unto God. So we are not born with sin in us as those that wish to enslave us have falsely taught. We do not develop sin while we are within the womb. It is once we are out of the womb is when we are exposed to the corruption of this temporal reality. We are not held accountable for our actions till we are twelve and it is then that we start to make our choices as to whether we will sin or not. Before twelve it was our parents’ responsibility to teach us of God, the Bible and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. This is so that we would be able to discern what is right and what is wrong. This is a sin our parents will have to bare if they failed in this duty.
But once you become accountable that is when you thoughts, your desire and your actions mark you. Only you are responsible for your actions past twelve. Can your parents still advice you? Yes, but ultimately it is your decisions that cast your lot. Either into slavery under sin or unto freedom under God through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

The failure of the buildings called “Churches”

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , Leave a comment

One after another that which is called “good” in the eyes of the Lord our God falls prey to popular demand. Why is this happening? It is because those places called “Churches” do not teach God.
Those that are called leadership within them do not make it known that certain things are called sins. They do this because in reality they are no longer “Churches” but businesses and if you insult or make uncomfortable those that come into your business they do not return and so their business losses money.
True Churches are not a business, but a place to worship and give praise honor and glory unto to God. It is also a place where you are taught the true Bible and true message of God. At times it will be painful, harsh and may even make some angry. Why? Because they are reacting to their guilt. A guilt that is there because what was mentioned is in their life. It is their sin and they have just been told it is wrong and they need to turn from it. This is the job of the church a.k.a. the church leadership.
However, this is not how churches these days do things, because if they make people leave how will they get their money to survive? My answer: they should not for they have turned their backs upon God and as a result we have sin running rampant upon the streets, within the government and they are starting to shove their ways into the churches. All with one purpose, to destroy God.
To them God is not real. To them Jesus did not raise form the dead. To them living in sin is preferred to living morally. Well, let me tell you a little secret. That is how it has always been. Sin has always been easier because our true enemy wishes all humanity to fail for it will allow him to be the winner and the one that is better than God.
The one who wishes you to live in sin is not your ally, or friend. God makes this clear within the Bible. True love hurts and can be punishing, but if you are not punished or made to feel guilt then you are not loved. As it says in Proverbs. The parent that spares the rod hates their child. That is how it is from God as well. Because he loves you he punishes you if you do wrong, for from it you learn respect and to be moral and to be good.
So if your “church” does not give you a sting of pain time to time then is it really a church?

Confessions of a screwed up middle aged man: Do you reflect Jesus?

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

That is an important question. Do your daily action show that you know Christ? Do they show you know the Bible? Do you act and behave like Jesus? My answer to this question is “not perfectly but better than it was before.”
None are perfect for Christ is the only being that was perfect when He was human. He was before the universe was. He is alive and watching the world as it falls into decadence and decay.
There are still those that God knows the name of. There are still those that Jesus is waiting for them to ask Him into their life. The Holy Spirit is waiting to fill those that are willingly Disciples of Christ.
But here is the thing. He will not wait forever. The other day someone posted a poster-post on Facebook. It was excellent. It states that there was a highway to hell, but only a stairway to heaven for the anticipated traffic demands. I know they are song references, but they speak volumes.
As I posted yesterday I have come to a point where I need to just keep moving forward toward God, honoring and serving Him as best I can and not focus on the fact that more and more of those alive at this time will most likely be taking the highway and not the stairway. As I stated it would send me into a depression if I dwelt upon it too much.
I realize that I must continue to reflect Christ as best I can, but I know I shall falter time to time, for I am in an imperfect body at this time. But there will come a time when I will enter into the perfect, the immortal and I must stay focused upon that goal through Jesus Christ, then in my allotted time I will serve God and His Son for eternity somewhere in His creation, the universe.

Confessions of a screwed up middle aged man: The fact are shown

In yesterday’s post I spelled out the need for Christians to become more involved in politics. I showed that several of the founding fathers of this nation, even though I only quoted three, felt it was mandatory for morality and virtue to be present or government would fall into chaos.
If you have not read the posting yet I strongly suggest you do so for it contains an important comparison between what the Bible asks of those that follow and have accepted Jesus Christ and a political group that has left the Bible https://dreamwalker1960.com/2015/08/17/stop-falling-for-the-propaganda-why-it-is-important-to-mix-religion-and-politics/
We are in the early stages of something that can go very badly for the short term for Christians in this nation. Will what I said cause many of you to awaken to the facts? I cannot answer that, but Jesus made it perfectly clear in Revelation 3:15-16. You must choose a side. You must be against God or for Him, you must be cold or hot, black or white and you must never, never be lukewarm for it will be worse for the lukewarm than for the cold towards God.
The formers of this nation wanted all of us to be servants of God. They knew many would not be, but I seriously doubted they expected this many to be lukewarm. We are in sad times for humanity, and it must be the Christians that step forward and make it known what is right and wrong within the world. Why? Because too many wonder in the lukewarm and not in the hot and they shall be found wanting.
Our actions, our choices in even the simplest of things decide for us upon where we will stand when the time comes.
It is my deepest wish and desire that more stand with God than not, but as each day passes I see more and more that it will not be this way and this is extremely sorrowing to realize and accept but I must or I will drive myself into despair if I think upon it too much. So many that I call friends that I fear I may never see again except if by chance I look upon them in the pity. I know that if I do see them I will weep not for myself, but for them, for once they are in the pit there is no coming out and it will last billions upon billions of years.
