Judging — the Biblical Truth

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Apparently, we have to discuss judging once again.

As I have shown in the past most have swallowed the false teaching of “Thou shall not judge…..”As has been shown in the past this false doctrine is designed to allow those that continue to live in sin to stay in sin. As has been shown this verse is the beginning of a teaching about hypocrisy. When someone judges someone living in the exact same sin they themselves partake in. They have no room to judge…. UNTIL they address their own sin first.

The keyword in that last sentence was “until.” Throughout the NT more than once those that are of the body are told to remove people from them that are sinning.

Most don’t want to accept that every letter beyond the gospels and the book of act with the exception of the book of Revelation was aimed directly at those that WERE baptized and born-again. Followers of Jesus Christ. Time and again we are told to be watchful, not to sin, remove those that sin from us. Not those outside the Body of Christ, but those within the Body of Christ.

Which means Chirstians ARE to judge.

More than once in the letters that form the NT we are told to judge:

1 Corinthians 5:1-7 NKJV – It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

1 Timothy 6:2-5 NKJV – And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things. If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV  But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

John 7:24 NKJV – Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

1 Corinthians 2:15-16 NKJV – But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM?” But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 14:29 NKJV – Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.

Ephesians 5:1-11 NKJV – Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

2 Peter 2:1-3 NKJV – But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

1 John 4:1 NKJV – Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Revelation 2:2 NKJV – “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;

The Word of God NEVER contradicts itself. With all these verses saying to test and judge how can there be a verse that says not to judge???

THERE CANNOT BE!!!!!

Therefore, any who say you shall not judge are teaching a false teaching and fall under this curse:

Galatians 1:6-10 NKJV – I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

For they are teaching a people pleasing doctrine which will damn them twice over to eternal damnation.

True Christians are to judge. To remove those that bring rot into the Body of Christ.

Judging is something that is required. We must go through training. Do lawyers go straight to being a judge? No, they don’t.

However, True Christians are to be judges.

Revelation 20:4 NKJV – 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.

Revelation 20:4 NLT – Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

“Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge.”

Stop accepting lies. Those that wish to follow Christ MUST study the Word of God for themselves and come to know the real Truth within it.

The Purpose of These Messages

As we all come to the end of this era and it is too late for the foolish bridesmaids to change their ways. My ministry has changed.

Now I am tasked with instructing those that have turned themselves into in the enemies of God with how they can change this.

Most will be laughing and scoffing at what was just stated, especially those that profess to being a follower of Christ. However, I know without a doubt that they will soon understand the Truth.

The Truth that they have turned themselves into the enemy of God. How will they know this?

They are expecting to be removed from the face of this temporal realm and be taken into heaven before what is called the Tribulation. Yet most don’t even know what the word “tribulation” means.

A tribulation is a fine or punishment against a conquered enemy.

Key word in that sentence: “ENEMY!”

Therefore, the coming tribulation is reserved exclusively for those that are the enemies of God and Jesus Christ. Again, this will make many laugh. When doing so they show their true nature. That of a spoil child who thinks they are greater and wiser than God Himself.

Yes, again you heard that correctly. Just because a fellow human is posting these words does not negate that they are formed by the Word of God itself.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Since the Word of God is inspired by the Holy Spirit. When people scoff and laugh, they show themselves to be identical to the Pharisees that first scoffed then laughed, then argued, then hated and then killed Jesus Christ.

The moment someone laughs they show they are enemies of God and deserving to be part of the tribulation. Marking them as foolish bridesmaids or virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 NKJV – “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “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.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Those that laugh and scoff have not been watchful or obedient.

John 14:15 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

Those that laugh and scoff are famous for not following Christ commandments, which is why Jesus Himself said this:

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

A few verses before this. Christ also make it clear that most will scoff and laugh, but didn’t say so in those exact words:

Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV – “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Most of those that profess to being “Christian” think they are on the narrow path. However, most are actually the foolish virgins or bridesmaids. Most are the enemies of God and Jesus Christ.

How do they prove this? By denying the commandments given during the Sermon on the Mount which defies John 14:15.

What are these commandments that must be followed?

1 – Give in secret

Matthew 6:1-4 NKJV – “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

2 – Pray in secret never in public…. PERIOD!!!

Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

3 – Fast in secret

Matthew 6:16-18 NKJV – “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

And most importantly live a needs-only lifestyle

Matthew 6:19-24 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

In the middle of this last commandment it looks like Christ goes off track. This is the furthest thing from the Truth. Let’s expand this further with another command from Christ Himself:

Luke 14:25-33 NKJV – Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

“So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.”

Luke 14:33 NLT – So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

Most believe they are in the light and live holy lives. Yet they keep their mammon instead of giving it all away as COMMANDED. Thus they are living in darkness, and darkness means being God’s enemies.

For further understanding for those that have not read my posting before I will describe what makes someone mammon-worshippers and in turn enemies of God:

Those that are mammon-worshippers seek after riches (jewelry, and fancy clothes), money (seeking after and hording earthly wealth beyond what is needed to make it to the next day), possessions (those objects that gather dust all over your houses and as well as luxury vehicles and any vehicle that goes beyond the basic need of transport to places you need to get to) and then property (huge house beyond the basic need for shelter and/or multiple houses as well as empty land filled with nothing to help those in need.)

Mammon – G3126 – (Aramaic), riches, money, possessions, property.

This makes these verses the Truth:

James 4:4 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

1 John 2:15-16 NKJV – Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

1 John 2:15-16 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

The Holy Spirit instructed Paul to say this to Timothy:

1 Timothy 6:6-19 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. NKJV  But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

“THAT YOU KEEP THIS COMMANDMENT WITHOUT SPOT”

It is a Commandment to live off the least of our earthly wealth and to keep the rest at the ready to help those in need thus making oneself a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7 NKJV – So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

I am hoping this will find the light of day after the first and smallest of raptures. The one that will be called the “alien abduction” a few million people all over the world will have vanished. That will be the signal of which shows the tribulation has begun. Because those that have been loyal to Jesus Christ by being obedient and following His commands to the best of their abilities are removed. Leaving only enemies to God and Jesus Christ left upon the face of this earth.

Since those that are left behind are His enemies. What is required to fix your relationship with God? Follow the commandments ESPECIALLY living a needs-only lifestyle. That is after you repent of your sins and strive to seek after being a REAL Christian for the very first time ever. Since to date this is the furthest thing from the Truth that you thought that you were. Which means you have been living a lie your entire so-called “Christian life.”

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

“AND ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNS!”

Study the Word of God for yourself. Learn the Truth. Don’t listen to others, but to God through the Word of God. This means breaking down the words in the Bible to their original meanings when first placed upon parchment. If you are reading this during the tribulation this is your ONLY choice. Study… spread the Truth.. then die a martyr’s death. To be part of the 2nd and LAST Christian rapture that will be uncountable.

However, know this. The Holy Spirit MUST be removed for the antichrist to be fully revealed at the middle of the tribulation. Once the Holy Spirit is removed no others can be a Christian. For the Holy Spirit resides within only those that are TRUE Christians and if the Holy Ghost is removed from the face of the earth NONE can be born again without it.

Learn the Truth. Find the Truth. Teach the Truth and then die in the Truth.

Rebellion? But Who is Really Being Rebelled Against

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, government, Guide, Life, politics, Relationship, , , , , , , , , , , One comment

Now the verses I am about to share with those reading this will be misconstrued by most. This is why I plan on giving a teaching upon these verses.

There is a large amount of turmoil going on in the US at this time. Now many think they are right. I will not claim which side is right or wrong. I will let the Word of God settle that, for it can.

For we must understand an important fact that God demands of those that profess to being His followers:

Titus 3:1 NKJV – Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,

When people crossed the boarder without doing it legally, they broke this commandment from God. Simply they willingly chose to rebel against God. When they stole money from the government, they decided to rebel even further from God making themselves the friends of the world.

James 4:4 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

The illegals have made themselves the enemies of God. They did it all on their own and those supporting them have joined them and they are described in Romans chapter 1 verses 18-32. This description also is made clear that they have chosen to be the enemies of God. This also opens the door to the verses which I first mentioned at beginning of this message.

1 John 4:20-21 NKJV – If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

Now this applies to both sides. However, those that are described in Romans, I never expect them to understand this. They honestly don’t even truly accept God nor His Son Jesus Christ.

This is for those that actually try and call themselves “Christian.” Now, again, I know there are those that are described in Romans 1 that actually believe they are Christian. Yet as we have already shown they are actually the enemies of God no matter what they may think or believe. This is the sad truth. A truth they may never accept, but still the truth.

As to those that are truly trying to pursue a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It is time to learn. Even though those described in Romans 1 believe they are doing right. We know without a doubt they have already chosen the world. However, those that seek to follow Christ are to treat all other humans as our brothers and sisters.

Now this doesn’t mean allow them to stay in this country illegally. This doesn’t mean support them. We are told by the Word of God to obey the laws of the land we live in. Once again:

Titus 3:1 NKJV – Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,

Why is this?

Daniel 2:21 NKJV – And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

Daniel 4:17 NKJV – ‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.’

So, understand, God placed both Biden and Trump into the office of president.

You will note how people have behaved differently under these presidents. Those that cause riots and destruction just because they didn’t or don’t like Trump fulfill the description given in Romans 1, which speaks volumes. Those that grumped and complained but didn’t resort to violence walked closer to following God through Jesus Christ during the Biden years.

But I have gotten off track.

Therefore, those that are fighting against the rule of law of the nation no matter their public standing in or out of government, are showing where they stand with God. More accurately showing they are enemies of God. Because God placed who is in power of all the nations on this earth. All with the purpose of guiding the world towards the return of Christ. Of separating the sheep, those that follow Christ, from the goats, those described in Romans 1.

It is the responsibility of those professing to being a follower of Christ to treat their follow humans with respect. It is also the responsibility of those following Christ to make sure the rule of law is followed. Not only for the nation that we live within. But also the commandments we are instructed to follow within the Word of God.

The verses this study is about makes a very clear statement.

“If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?”

Many say they are followers of Christ, yet they are described in Romans 1. Within this description is acts of violence. They will accuse those that are of authority. Those following and acting upon the law of the land as being those that are violent. Since they are acting within the law of the land they are not the ones that are truly violent. Those that attack them. Those that storm churches. It is they that are the ones being violent. For that is the path they have chosen to walk upon.

Within the next few years there will be those that come to see the Truth. It is they that I am writing this for. They will come to see the light of God though Jesus Christ. They must amend their ways and seek to know God through Jesus Christ, which can only be found within the Word of God. They must truly seek to study it. Not just read it.

As for those that are the lukewarm. You must come to accept that when the call of Christ first comes you will find yourself left behind. Don’t fully turn away from God. However, learn for your mistake and realize that you screwed up big time. Otherwise you wouldn’t have been left behind. Also realize that just because you have been left behind you are not one of the goats yet, but your path is heading in that direction unless you fix your errors.

Refuse the mark of the beast. This goes for both groups reading this. For once you accept the mark of the beast you have sealed your fate to eternal damnation. Also realize that the United States will no longer exist once we get to the middle of the tribulation.

Those that have been lying to those that are now illegal  in the United States shows their ignorance of the Truth of the Word of God. Why make millions of people come to a nation that will be destroyed by the eruption of a super volcano in just a few year just shows how truly ignorant they are to the Truth.

They think that life is going to just continue on as it is now. It is truly and completely sad. So sad that I am not going to write another word today.

Christianity and Movies

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, politics, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Now to get this out of the way. Yes, I watch movies. I have to fill some time not studying the Word. Does this mean I am sinning, most likely and I ask God’s forgiveness as well.

First and foremost. There is no such thing as a “Christian movie.” There are inspirational movies and these are the worst type of movies someone who calls themselves “Christian” should ever watch. Why this is, is because “inspirational” is equal to people pleasing. Therefore, those that make them and work within them fall into the curses given by the Holy Spirit within the following verses:

Galatians 1:6-10 NKJV – I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

Now we can get into the next part, for these verses have opened that door.

With the statement: “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.”

The movies industry, which was and may still be primarily run by Jews, was never designed to help Christianity. In fact it was designed and still is designed to turn people away from God and the Lord’s teachings.

People will turn to many examples that are out there. “The Ten Commandments” (1956), “Ben Hur” (1959), “King of Kings” (1961). In recent times movies like “Hacksaw Ridge” (2016), and “Son of God” (2014)

The Ten Commandments script adds to the Word of God.

Deuteronomy 4:2 NKJV – You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

The entire Bible is God’s command unto to those that profess to be His children.

Ben Hur was a book written by a Civil War veteran, and is more of an exploration of one man’s journey to coming to worship God through Jesus Christ. However, it is very Jewish in its content in the early verses. The latest was some trip into fantasy land.

King of Kings is totally Catholic in its content and doesn’t accurately depict the four gospels and so is twice cursed, which may explain why it’s star fell down a flight of stairs breaking his neck and dying.

As for Hacksaw Ridge the protagonist is a Jehovah Witness. Which is another theme that is found within movies. They use religions that are more like cults instead of using other denomination which teach that salvation can be lost. Does this mean in real life the protagonist wasn’t born-again? No. All evidence points to the opposite of this.

This is also true when looking at the movie “Keys to the Kingdom” (1944), which is the story of a Catholic priest and missionary. So I will make this very clear. There are few within all denomination that qualify as followers of Christ. But they are the exception, not the rule, which is extremely sad.

The movie Son of God is a people pleaser movie and is full of errors, and teachings,that all that is required is faith alone, which is not taught by the Word of God.

James 2:26 NKJV – For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

One of the greatest signs that movies are against Christianity is the mere fact that those that make these movies allow things within them that people take for granted and thus emulate and copy it because if its in the movies it has to be good. Remember those that made them and make them are atheist for the most part. Those that make inspirational movies I have already addressed, but back on track. If those making them don’t acknowledge God nor Jesus Christ as their Savior. How can be what is seen in them something a “Christian” should emulate?

You can’t.

Movies that show certain behaviors associated with people professing to being “Christian” needs to take what is shown and do the complete opposite.

A prime example of this is open and group pray given by a person of the cloth. When the Bible makes if VERY clear where prayer should occur:

Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

“Well what about: Acts 1:14 NKJV – These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.”

Someone just protested.

Oh, you mean when Peter didn’t wait for the Pentecost and took it upon Himself to convince the rest of the apostles and Christ’s mother to enter into sin by overriding the commandment given to them in Matthew 6:5-6? Is that what you use as an anchor to live in sin?

Then go ahead and continue to do so.

The only place that that Word of God has any bearing in your life is found by studying the Word of God. Not reading. Studying. There is a HUGE difference. Knowing what the words meant when they were first written down on parchment does more for your salvation and your sanctification then anything else.

Just because you accept Christ as your Savior. Your responsibility in the relationship with Christ doesn’t end there. This is one of the greatest misconceptions that is also shown within movies. Christ Himself makes it clear that salvation can and will be lost:

John 15:1-6 NKJV  “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

To abide in Christ is accomplished by seeking sanctification, which can only be accomplished by studying the Word of God and leaving the world behind. Movies mimic the world. Christians are told this:

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Whatever the world loves you shouldn’t be doing. What the world loves is shown in movies so no one that professes to following Christ should try and do what is done in movies.

The True Church is No Longer Found in Buildings

The other day as seen across social media a Methodist minister proudly proclaimed to the world that this person has decided to announce to the world that they were a transgender.

This was not the first I had encountered lies from the Methodist denomination. When I was 18, I went to the Methodist church that was built right behind my home back then. You see I was starting to search for God through Jesus Christ back at that age. However, I had not yet accepted Christ or been filled with the Holy Spirit yet. That didn’t happen till a few years later, but that is a different story. Right now, I am talking about the Methodist. Well, I went to the Bible study part of the services that were held by this minister wearing robes. The first thing out of his mouth: “The Book of Revelation is nothing but a fairy tale.”

That was forty-seven years ago, and I still remember it to this day. Mainly because I was reading the book of Revelation at that time. Striving to make sense of it. Coming to understand this book within the Bible is still something I strive to do. But as we get closer to the soon return of Christ, I understand enough to just allow things to unfold on their own.

However, this little sojourn into my past has taken me off course a bit. So, I will get back on topic. The Word of God says this:

Romans 16:17-20 NKJV – Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Denomination are divisions and offenses are what the first Methodist “minister” did at the beginning of today’s discussion. The True Body of Christ is not found in buildings called “churches” as I showed with the last message I posted. ( https://dreamwalker1960.com/2025/12/03/your-list-of-godly-achievements-within-the-building-called-a-church/ )

Churches are nothing but merchants trying to sell “salvation.” The True body of Christ is actually found on social media and the internet. It is here that I have been since 2014 striving to spread the True Gospel. Being a voice in the wilderness. I learned as time went on, that I wasn’t the only voice in the wilderness. This is why I know the True Body of Christ can be found no longer in buildings that create division and are led by people only seeking to fill their pockets with your money and never seeking to give you true salvation. Just as it was two thousand years ago when Christ first walked upon the earth.

Matthew 23:2-15 NKJV – saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

All the buildings called “churches” do is turn those that attend into Pharisees. Damning them to the lake of fire and never truly to salvation. They prove this when they make statements like: “When you stand before God on Judgement Day.”

None, who are True Disciples of Christ will stand before God on “Judgment Day.” For THE Judgment Day is the Great White Throne Judgement and is the only Judgement. Any who are True Disciples of Christ will have been called into heaven before this and given white robes and then come down with Christ and joined Him during His thousand-year reign. Not to be judged but to judge.

Revelation 20:4-6 NKJV – 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.

Those that will  partake in the raptures are those that ARE of the first resurrection.

Revelation 20:6 NKJV – 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.

“Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power.”

“Over such the second death has no power.”

This is a direct statement that those that are raptured will not be part of the Great White Throne Judgement. Therefore, any who teaches otherwise are false teachers and someone that needs to be avoided and shunned. These are those that sit upon the dais and stand behind the pulpit. In their expensive suits that those that sit in the pews paid for. For they have told those in the pews they can keep 90% of their earthly wealth as long as they get their 10%, which is opposite to what is taught in the Word of God. (1 Timothy 6:6-19, Matthew 6:19-24) They send off their missionaries who teach the same lies and then leave those they convert to fend for themselves. Just as they leave those that come to the buildings called “churches” to fend for themselves. Never truly teaching them the True Word of God to live a needs-only lifestyle and to follow the commandments which were not removed by Christ going to the cross. By the way only those commandments covering sacrifices were removed. No others. Like for example not to get tattoos (Leviticus 19:28) is still in effect for it is something that those of the world seek after. This is verified here:

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Most that now go to the buildings called “churches” will not be part of the first resurrection. Christ Himself knew this and spoke of it in His way for the time that He spoke of it during the Sermon on the Mount:

Matthew 7:13-23 NKJV – “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Stop seek after God in buildings called “churches” for they only teach division and cause offenses against the True Word of God. They teach to horde your earthly wealth and not to live a needs-only lifestyle. They teach you to keep and seek after mammon which is defined as:

Riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles [which include luxury cars, trucks, RVs if they are not your actual home, motorcycles, boats, jet skis etc.]) and property (owning huge houses and/or multiple houses [ once again RVs count as a house] as well as land filled with nothing useful to those in need).

Seek the Truth of the Word of God by STUDYING not just reading the Bible for yourself. Learn the meaning of the Words as they were originally placed upon parchment thousands of years ago and have only changed 2% in all that time. For there are well over 5000 ancient versions of the Word of God and shows that those mere 2% changes are mainly the use of different names for those found within the Bible.

Stop falling for the false propaganda that due to that fact that there were multiple human scribes of the Word of God there was only ONE author and that is God Himself.

2 Timothy 3:16-4:5 NKJV – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

And know this final fact. Any who supports and commits to the alphabet club are not welcome into heaven per Romans 1:18-32. And if you look at those that do support them you will see this behavior within them:

Romans 1:26-32 NKJV – For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

They are not welcome into heaven by their own actions and choices especially when they say: “I am a Christian.”

For they will awaken to the Great White Throne Judgment and when they do so they will weep for they are subject to the second death unlike those that were part of the first resurrection.

Revelation 20:11-15 NKJV – Then I saw a great white throne and Him who 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, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Amen

Your list of Godly Achievements Within the Building Called a “Church”

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , , , One comment

Recently I have been privy to hearing the “achievements” someone accomplished within the building called a “church.” Well, all the while the Holy Spirit kept placing these verses within my head as I heard these “accomplishments.”

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Now why would the Holy Spirit place these verses in particular into my head?

For one. The people proudly proclaiming what they saw as what was required of them to be one with God through Jesus Christ.

Second, how these verses end: “I never knew you; depart from Me, YOU WHO PRATICE LAWLESSNESS!”

Christ made it very clear in John 14 what you are required to do if you truly love Him:

John 14:15-21 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me,

So, in this list of achievements within this building called a church do they include these commands given by Christ as the Sermon on the Mount:

When you give do so in a way where no one knows it is you giving the money to those in need. (Matthew 6:1-4)

When you pray. Pray in secret where no one can see you. Therefore, if you pray in public and especially in a church you are breaking this commandment. (Matthew 6:5-6)

When you fast do not make a show of it or let anyone know you are fasting. (Matthew 6:16-18)

Now the next one is one of the biggest commandments that most refuse to even accept, acknowledge or even attempt to do.:

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

You know what else is considered earthly treasures? Achievements within a building called a “church.”

1 John 2:15-17 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

These achievements you achieve through your own desires and wants makes you proud in what you have accomplished and don’t even see that you are walking in darkness.

Ephesians 5:1-10 NKJV – Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

Just because you go to a building called a “church” and you do activities made by and sponsored by this building does not place you in heaven. For they are not commandments offered by Jesus Christ, but by men. This is why Jesus says this right after telling those that are loyal to Him to not store up earthly treasures:

Matthew 6:22-24 NKJV – “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

In churches people belief they are in the light, when in reality, since they are not imitating Christ they are actually walking in earthly darkness. Then Christ makes it clear that churches teach to seek after mammon.

Why do I say this? Because they teach you can keep 90% of your income as long as you give 10% to the church. This is not what is taught in Matthew 6 or 1 Timothy 6. In both of those locations within the Bible it is made clear that we are to live off 10%. Give 10% to those that are True representatives of Jesus Christ. Then have the rest ready at a moment’s notice to help those in need.

Just so you know mammon is defined as riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles [which include luxury cars, trucks, RVs if they are not your actual home, motorcycles, boats, jet skis etc.]) and property (owning huge houses and/or multiple houses [ once again RVs count as a house] as well as land filled with nothing useful to those in need).

This is all churches say you can keep thus canceling out any achievements you may think of to whitewash your filthy garments.

Revelation 3:1-5 NKJV – “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”

Revelation 3:15-20 NKJV – “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

Those that wish to list their churchly achievements are blind and proud and have been vomited out of the Body of Christ and Christ Himself removed their names from the Book of Life.

Revelation 20:15 NKJV – And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Let’s Talk Some More About Conformity

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Once again let us look at the verses from Romans 12:

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

And once again let us look at the word “conformed.”

Conformed – G4964 – suschématizó – conform to, fashion yourself according to. Conform to the same pattern.

Now I wish for people to look at these verses following a parable about stewardship in the gospel of Luke:

Luke 16:13-17 NKJV – “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.

These two groups of verses are related and shows just how far those that profess to being Christian have fallen away from true discipleship to Christ Jesus. Let me explain and break it down for those that aren’t seeing the relationship.

What is esteemed by the world is comfort, leisure and wealth. Most, especially those in the western world cultures, as well as many middle eastern areas seek after all this. This is conforming to the world. This is what we are told not to do. However, all have done so.

Most believe they are the perfect Christian. They say they follow Christ. They pray; they attend church. Sometimes more than once a week. They do so in their best clothes and sing their songs and have their prayer meetings where other humans hear them. To them they are blessed and going to heaven to be with God.

This is a total and complete lie. Because this is what the world esteems. So, to God they are an abomination in His sight. Destine to be left behind in the soon to occur rapture.

“WHAT?” Someone just yelled in total disbelief. This reaction believe it or not is in actuality confirmation that what was written before this outburst is the Truth. Why is it the Truth? Because Jesus Christ said it… I didn’t.

This is one of the major flaws within these co-called “perfect Christians.” They act through emotion not true study and devotion to God through Jesus Christ. They believe they can live exactly as they have lived their entire lives and make no changes, and they will be embraced and welcomed by God. Ingnoring verses like those from the Gospel of Luke that states how they pursue to live actually sickens God. To them this has nothing to do with them but the Pharisees of old. Not seeing that they themselves have become the Pharisees. Living in rituals and breaking commandments without question or even understanding that they are acting in defiance of God through Jesus Christ.

Let’s give prime examples from the teachings found in the Sermon on the Mount.

Where and how to pray:

Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Key elements of this teaching:

  1. It is a commandment from Jesus Christ Himself
  2. Do not pray in church for that is where the hypocrites pray.
  3. Do not pray in public for that is where the hypocrites wish to be seen.
  4. Prayer is to be done alone not in groups for others can see you.

“But they pray in as a group before the Pentecost?” Someone just said. Yes, and they cast lots to pick their twelfth apostle, not Christ’s twelfth apostle. All without the Holy Spirit or His Blessing. Therefore, Peter made those gathered to sin against God which is why Pentecost was so dramatic. To put Peter in this place as well as the others as well. To remind them all Who was the Son of God. As well as do nothing without the Holy Spirit. As well as don’t break Christ’s teachings like where to pray.

Christ also taught this:

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

This is said a different way by Paul in these verses:

1 Timothy 6:6-10 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Those that still don’t get it. Read the rest of 1 Timothy 6, however I would like you to key in on these verses:

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

A huge church wastes money that could be used to help those in need and to spread the True Gospel.

Wearing fancy clothes is sin and something the gentiles seek after and thus is conforming to the world, which is also taught during the Sermon on the Mount.

Keeping most of your earthly income is opposite the teachings of the Word of God and so is sin and those that do this esteem to be like those of the world. Therefore, they are seen by God as an abomination.

The word “abomination” is used only six times in the NT. Four of those times it is in direct reference to the antichrist and those that have chosen to follow that person. With that in mind. Then those that have turned their backs upon the Word of God yet call themselves “Christian” have no chance of making the soon to come rapture.

This will cause them to make two choices when they find they have been left behind. One will be to beg God for forgiveness and to seek out how to fix their relationship with God, which will result in their martyrdom. The second: they will fully turn against God fulfilling prophecy of the great falling away.

Why? Because to them God has abandoned them.

Now note how that was just said. They think that God abandoned them. That isn’t how a True Christian thinks. Therefore, if they were saved, they lost their salvation long ago. Or they were never saved in the first place. For anyone who thinks God abandoned them or owes them is in fact calling themselves a god. For they think they are greater than their Creator. How extremely vain, self-centered and arrogant of them.

So, when you hear the second blast of the trumpets and find yourself still here in this temporal existence. Realize it is because YOU that rejected God. For God never rejects anyone who truly seeks to be His disciple through His Son Jesus Christ. In fact, He wants ALL of humanity to come to know Him as their God. However, they would rather be their own god, and everyone and everything must cater to their whims and desires. Therefore, worthy of being left behind and the damnation that goes with this belief that it is owed to them. For billions upon billions upon billions upon billions of years in pain and agony in the lake of fire.

REPENT!!!

Seek to be the martyr. For only through that earthly pain and suffering can true Salvation be achieved once you find you have been left behind. For it will be better to suffer a few weeks, months or years. Than to suffer for all eternity because you wanted to be your own god.

Pentecost: the second tower of Babel

In the last two postings the topic has been centered about what occurred between the ascension of Jesus Christ to the point we are about to look into: The day of Pentecost.

It was the actions of Peter trying to assert himself as the head of the Christian community is what required Pentecost to become such a tremendous event that it was and in addition turning it into as the title of this posting implies: a second tower of Babel. Peter introduced a procedure of men picking men, which was never the intent of Christ. Peter used questionable scripture and even broke one of Christ commandments taught during the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:5-6). It was Peter’s behavior and actions that required God to manifest His Son’s importance and presence. This was to put the usurper in his place as merely a servant of Christ, not His replacement.

With this said, let us look at the first tower of Babel:

Genesis 11:1-9 NKJV – Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

Now let us look at the day of Pentecost:

Acts 2:1-12 NKJV – When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

What do we see in these two events:

The first thing we see is how it descends upon those that are the followers of Christ. Not in prayer but in one accord. This shows that yes we can gather together as a group and be one in what we seek after without having a prayer spoken. If prayers are being said. They are said in the minds of those gathered together. Where no one is aware that it is occurring. They are all gathered together listening to Scripture and expanding upon understanding of the Word of God. Much like you reading this posting is meant to do.

To show those gathered together that Jesus Christ is the Son of God this occurs:

“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.”

This was required to remind those gathered together that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The roaring wind and sound as well as the tentacles of fire dividing and touching each and every person present was needed to not only fulfill Christ promise of sending His Comforter, but also to show Peter who was in charge and it wasn’t him. If Peter had not done what he did in verses 12-26 of the first chapter of Acts the Comforter most likely would have come upon them in a more comforting manner.

Then, next we see that those gathered there all spoke in one language “Galilean” most likely Aramaic ended up speaking at minimum sixteen languages. This was comparable to the first Babel, yet it was different. For unlike the first where they were confused and bewildered and scattered to all point of the globe. Those near by gathered together to hear these people speaking in the languages they knew and recognized and cause many to come and see that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and they were to repent and follow Him as one people: Christians.

This is all shown in the verses that follows those shown above. We also see in those same verses Peter as he was meant to be. A servant of Christ not a usurper. For the Holy Spirit had filled Peter and he quoted correctly verse after verse from the OT. Showing that it is the Holy Spirit is who we are to listen to not humans that stand upon a dais acting like they know what is right when most times they don’t. For in the previous chapter Peter used a dubious connection to OT verses to name a new twelfth apostle. When only one being can pick an apostle and this is Jesus Christ Himself as shown later in the book of Acts when He makes Saul become Paul and the new twelfth apostle. An apostle chosen to bring the gentiles into the family of God through His Son Jesus Christ.

In summary we see that the second tower of Babel worked in reverse of the first yet contains the same elements in both. It brings people together under Christ as long as they Study the Word of God. Obey His commandments and follow His teachings. As long as they do this and are filled with the Holy Spirit they will be one with God through Jesus Christ. A servant of Christ and never a usurper.

So, let’s talk about Matthias. Who’s that??????

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Most have no idea who Matthias is. There is a reason for this, and a lesson to the modern-day religious that go to the churches and don’t study the Word of God or even abide by it.

The story takes up only fifteen verses in the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. Within these verses the name “Matthias” only appears in two of them. This in itself should send alert signs to those that actually bother to read it. To those that study it becomes understood why this is.

Let’s look at these fifteen verses:

Acts 1:12-26 NKJV – Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.” (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.) “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘LET HIS DWELLING PLACE BE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE LIVE IN IT’; and, ‘LET ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE.’ “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.  And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Within this telling we see that the apostles took it upon themselves to pick the replacement for Judas. They state it was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Yet the Holy Ghost does not descend upon them until after this event.

Therefore, we can come to one conclusion. Peter has once again denied Christ. Peter is confronted about denying Christ in the book of Galatians as well by forcing gentiles to circumcise.

Also note that Joseph called Barsabas Justus and Matthias had witnessed the events of Christ ministry and seen that He had ascended into heaven. In simpler terms they were of once accord and fellow followers of Christ. From other sources we find that Matthias also died a martyr’s death.

Now I made mention about Peter denying Christ once again. He also encouraged those with him to break one of Christ commandments. Therefore, becoming the second time Peter denied Christ. What was this event?

“These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.”

What was Christ commandment about how we are to pray?

Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”

Praying in a group as these did was in defiance of this command. For Christ made it very clear:

“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place.”

This means each person is to pray by themselves to God where no human can see them. When praying in a group all present see you and thus it is sin.

This sin they committed resulted in the picking, through gambling, a false apostle. Even though he was of one accord with them.

The true replacement for Judas was someone chosen by Christ Himself and in fact hated, hunted and killed those that were the followers of Jesus Christ.

It has been proven that when someone that truly does an 180 degree turn in their beliefs, that was so totally against a cause or a religion, becomes someone that is fully and completely committed to the cause they once opposed.

Saul who was a Pharisee and truly hated those that are now called “Christians” that he killed several hundred of them. The most notable was Stephen. He wrote most of the letters that now form the New Testament.

He was not chosen by a haggle of people gathered together in pray, in defiance of Christ, but by Christ Himself. Additionally, no lots were cast.

The lesson: 1) Obey Christ in all His commandments including where and when you pray to God. 2) God chooses, not humans. 3) Peter denied Jesus Christ three more times. Therefore, is not worthy of any type of praise. Only God through Jesus Christ should be praised and honored forever and ever.

Intro

This is Dreamwalker1960. As a reminder you can read the transcripts of all my podcasts at dreamwalker1960.com. You can use most podcast platforms if you wish to listen. All you need to do is do a search for Dreamwalker1960.

Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

So, we have come to that point. The point where Jesus Christ will return as a thief in the night. That means totally and completely by surprise. Therefore, thinking there will be clouds fully covering the sky and the darkening of the sun and moon, which will occur, are not meant for this particular time. In fact the sky darkening doesn’t occur until later in the tribulation. As witnessed in Revelation chapter six when the seals are broken.  Therefore, to be a thief in the night means there will be no warning of ANY type.

Now, that we have that out of the way. There are many that are in for an unwelcome surprise.

There are many who believe they have been the perfect “Christian.” They go to the building called a “church” at least once a week if not more. They tithe their 10%. They may even be a deacon. To them they know without question they are going to heaven. For they have been the perfect servant to God. I mean look at their huge house. Look at their multiple luxury vehicles, for their three-car garage. Every holiday the wife decorates the entire house inside and out with the best and correct decorations. They dress in their finest. They vacation at all the best places. Their retirement is all planned out and they will live in total and complete comfort till they pass from this world. All because they love and worship God through Jesus Christ. All because they have full and complete faith. I mean look at all they have. They are so proud of all these rewards they were given.

Here is the surprise. For it is obvious they have never read these verses, or as is more accurate. They do not attribute them to themsleves, but those men that died two thousand years ago.

Luke 16:13-17 NKJV – “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.

Everything I described a bit ago is mammon. It is everything that those of the world esteem to have and seek after. This makes them an abomination is the sight of God. This places them on the same level of the antichrist and those that follow him. Equals in every way, even in damnation.

With that now said. We come to the point of this message. What will be so surprising for them? It will be the fact that they will hear the trumpet blast in the sky above two times. On the second time they will be singing praises that they will disappear off the face of this earth. Yet, it will end and they will be looking about them. They will be standing, kneeling, or lying on the ground in the exact same spot they were in just a moment before. Here on earth. Here, rejected by God through Jesus Christ.

Jesus gave a parable predicting this:

Matthew 25:1-13 NKJV  “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “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.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”

You say you are watching, or you watched. Did you? You kept your mammon, which Jesus said never to seek after.

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

You said this did not apply to you because you have faith in God through Jesus Christ. Then why does the Word of God say this?

James 2:26 NKJV – For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Your works were to downsize, yet you kept your money to yourselves and bought the huge house or houses. You bought luxury cars. You bought fancy clothes that cost hundreds of dollars. You stored away hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions away for your retirement.

1 John 2:15-16 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

This is why you are going to be or were left behind. Now, you must endure the first half of the tribulation. Which will end when Yellowstone erupts destroying the USA which is called the “city of Babylon” in chapter 18 of the book of Revelation. For when the sixth seal is broken is what causes this to occur.

Revelation 6:12-17 NKJV – I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

This is the first time the sun and the moon are dimmed. The three years before this are part of the first half of the tribulation, in which those that are fully against God will take the mark of the beast and try to force it upon all. It is in this time that the earth will not be harmed, but the children of God will be harmed to the point of beheading. When the sun and moon dim it signals the last rapture for those that profess to being “Christian.” This also signals the end of the earth not being harmed. For what will cause the sun and moon to be dimmed will be the eruption of Yellowstone which will wipe out most of the North American continent.

Time has run out for those seeking to be part of the thief in the night rapture. Now people must seek to be part of the second and last rapture for those that profess to being Christian. They must seek to be included in the “great multitude,” for that is why it will be a great multitude in the first place. Because most that now think they are going to heaven will be left behind. It is all due to their faith and their faith alone, because the Bible makes it extremely clear that there must be works through faith. The key to which is following the commandments. For none, saving those governing sacrifices, has ended.

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Most now teach all you need is faith. Most teach that once you are saved you are always saved. These are lies, which is why you will or are left behind. Which is why if you become like John the Baptist. Preaching in rags and preaching harshly, but totally honestly, which will lead to your beheading. Then and only then will you be considered worthy of the second and last Christian rapture. For the Holy Spirit MUST be fully removed for the face of the earth to allow the antichrist to be fully and completely revealed when the third and last temple is deviled.

Don’t argue. Don’t bluster. Don’t complain. Accept the Truth. Accept your fate of facing the wrath of being what you deserve to be called.

James 4:4 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

You are God’s enemy for only God’s enemies will be part of the great tribulation which is the entire seven years. Yet, feel favored, that if you do not take the mark you will still be worthy of being part of the first resurrection. For only those who experience rapture will be worthy of the first resurrection. Just be glad there is more than one. For those that think there is only one, will learn the hard way that there isn’t, for they too will be considered enemies of God, until they redeem themselves through works in faith.

We will end this here.

God Bless
