I have a long history going back 40+ years of experience in what we call Christianity.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I have never denied the Lord.  There are people who I went to elementary school, Jr. high school and high school with, which can attest to the fact that I witnessed to other kids about Jesus Christ many times.  I had no problem making a fool out of myself and being rejected by others from my youth until now; seven children and five grandchildren later.  I am not saying that I haven’t sinned in my life, I committed sins that I am not proud of, but I never denied the Lord despite the false teachings and many different doctrines I have been exposed to, and experienced the fruit of over the last 40+ years.

But there came a time in which there was a major pivot in my life, a water shed season, at the time I didn’t even believe that I could survive it, I thought I would surely die.  During this season the Lord gave me certain, sure, solid foundational truth.  During this season I would literally tremble as I read the scriptures as the Holy Spirit brought these things to life and establish me in these truths.  I am sure those who despise my image shriek when I say this, but my great treasure that I value is the fear of God, the beginning of knowledge and wisdom.  There are many people who might read what I have got to say and feel condemned or challenged, their image is different than mine, their judgement is different than mine, we are not alike, we have different things that trouble us, that concern us.

Perhaps the best place to start is to look a little closer at the essence, the foundation of what is Christ, in order to understand the things that really matter.  As the scripture say, “Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, The Life”, so to know Jesus Christ is to know Thy Way, The Truth and The Life!

Reading Nahum and Habakkuk this morning and it occurred to me now and has in the past as well, but this particularly came to my attention. Today in Christendom that which is holy is in captivity, just as the King of Babylon drank out of the vessels of the house of the Lord he had taken from Jerusalem, so today there are spiritual powers that be. EVERYONE and anyone who names the name of God and succeeds dealing with the spiritual powers that are, must contend with these powers, if you don’t get their approval, you don’t pass go and you don’t collect $200.

The Prophecy of Nahum is against the Assyrians. Very important that one know that the Assyrians ARE THE LAST POWER IN CHARGE BEFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD, THE FINAL INDIGNATION!

Law Vs. Grace, to much theology and too little Faith.

Today I am posting an opposition video that many of you mistakenly respect.  There were many good things that came out of the Protestant reformation of the 1600’s, salvation by faith alone, not work of righteousness, lest any man boast, was one of these good things.  The man from “Wretched” in this video is claiming that you would be much happier, he calls it the joy of the Lord, if you had his “theology”.  I don’t claim to be able to represent all of this man’s “theology” here, I would only like to address the clear false teaching and wretched theology this man is presenting on the following video.  Please listen to the short video and see if you do not understand the clear contradiction posed by this man’s wretched theology.  I am posting this so you may understand what flaw I am pointing out, It’s really important!

Obey the Law or Live by Grace? Getting this wrong will send you to Hell!

Since God is perfectly righteous, he hates sin.   Thousands of years ago God spoke to Abraham –  (Gen 7:1-2) And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.  And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.   If you do not like or agree that God requires you to be perfect, and that this perfection is the condition he made with Abraham to establish his covenant or agreement of peace with him, then you have a major problem.  This truth is simple and straightforward as it can be, God requires perfection of his children, because God is perfect and God will not give his glory to another, he will not EVER allow sin to enter into, and much less reign in his Kingdom.

What I intend to accomplish by my writing today is to prove to you that you are lost unless you hear me.  This subject of law vs grace is NOT a matter of interpretation, what I am telling you today are the facts that the Lord has given to me.  This is what is confirmed in the scriptures, by the testimony of the Holy Spirit, if you teach or believe anything else, you are teaching a lie, you are not my brother or sister, you are lost!  What I am speaking today, whether you like it or not, is a sure Word, it is like 1John 2:27, the truth and no lie.  So if you are a person who does not believe in a SURE Word, and that scripture is just a matter of interpretation or opinion, then you probably won’t want to read past the following “read more tag”.

Come let’s reason together, why do we believe?

Today I want to talk about reasoning, why I know what I know, why my hope is not in vain, why I know I am right about my beliefs, where my foundations lay.   There are those who trust in their scholarship and you know in order to be scholarly one needs smart intellect, self discipline, training or schooling and reputation for all of the above.  I know human nature, if you can get a doctorate degree and title yourself with a “Dr” by your name, that is a very influential tool that will at least get one a chance to be taken seriously in their scholarship.   You should already have noticed that I did not say that one needs to be saved, filled with the Holy Spirit or supernaturally gifted by God in order to be a biblical scholar.  Being a biblical scholar is NOT a gift of the Holy Spirit, it’s like any other natural ability that needs training a talent, I know how to work with my hands, I am quite good at it, while the Lord helps me all the time, but that is not a gift of the Holy Spirit.

Dear Brother, I would ask the question today, are you upright in heart?  Do you really, HONESTLY, want to know the Truth and be set free by that truth, no matter what the cost?  Are you truly willing to be wrong, if you really are wrong?  Do you really want to be corrected, do you really want your way to be made straight?  If you truly are upright in heart then the answer to all of the above would have to be a resounding “YES!!”   Read the short 11th chapter of Psalms, it says much more than you might think, and then let’s talk about it.

This morning I got out of bed and read the above book on “Ending Division in the Body of Christ” from cover to cover, it’s a small book.   I would like to thank Kevin for sending it to me, I cannot describe how encouraged I am after reading it!  I am more certain than ever that the Lord really has spoken to me over the years and directed my paths in these issues.

I am now more bold than ever to call out sectarianism, to speak against those who are nothing more than self-interested small business owners, selling their deceptive wares to all who will buy them.  Well let me tell you folks, the Lord our God HATES A FALSE BALANCE (Pro. 11:1).  When a salesman promises to deliver a product and you buy that product for the agreed price, you were told what you were buying, but the salesman tricked you, he used deceptive weights on his scales and you were none the wiser, that’s what the Lord hates!

“Why should we Love the Church”, from the Harlot, John MacArthur

There is almost nothing I am more angered by, more repulsed by, than the following claim by the harlot described in Isaiah 47:  (Isa 47:8)  “I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:”

Here is the audio by John MacArthur that set me off today, entitled “Why should we Love the Church”

It’s actually blasphemy of the worst sort to claim that Jesus Christ did something or built something that he did not do.  Just like it is blasphemy to claim that Jesus Christ cast out devils by the spirit of the devil, it is also blasphemy to say the Jesus Christ built the institution of John MacArthur’s Church, when he did not!

Is the Bible the Word of God?

I am going to say a little about this today, “Is the Bible the Word of God?”,  and what people really mean when they say this or when they say the opposite.  If you want a better article with more scriptures, I suggest that you read “The Word of God is a Person”.   It is really simple, the Word of God is a Person, because the scriptures written, say exactly that in John 1:1.  I guess there are many which would like to re-write the scriptures so they say “In the beginning was the bible and the bible was God”, but that is not what is written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is it?  So what is it that makes people demand that you claim, “The Bible is the Word of God, even though the Bible it’s self says otherwise?”

I don’t need any man to teach me, I just listen to the Holy Spirit

Of course the scriptures say:  (1Jn 2:27) But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Many look to this one scripture today and claim that they don’t listen to men, they only listen to God.  They very well may spend hours listening to a number of men, of which they will say, “I eat the meat and spit out the bones”.  I always am puzzled and greatly amazed at a people who believe they are being taught by the Holy Spirit, they believe that no man need teach them, and yet they will admit to listening to men preach who preach error, all the while these people claim that they handle error by spiting out the bones.

So let me get this straight, you listen to error from men you respect as brothers, you even can find no one who agrees with you on everything, and in most cases you run into people regularly who claim to personally hear from God, with whom you agree very little, and yet you don’t see any problem with your faith in applying 1John 2:27 to your life?
