"Never Again" yet AGAIN: Christian Persecution is now!

Every Earth Day...

 ... is yet another day to give glory to God!  

Because without God, we would have no earth.  :)

And when we think of all the wonders of our earth and how it obeys all of the universal laws that God has set forth for it to even consist and exist, again, we have to give thanks to our God.  

This message is for those who need to be reminded of how amazing the power of God is to have created this earth and even further be able to sustain its function in order to even continue our very existence .... despite all the scientific probabilities to the contrary. 

To believe that the earth's origin, this existence and sustaining of our earth is by mere chance, and continues by chance is literally to have committed oneself to floppy shoes, a rubber nose and simply walking yourself into your nearest mental institution.   

The Bible teaches that God's creation glorifies Him.  The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies testify to His handiwork (Psalm 9:1).     The Bible teaches that God has purposed mankind to replenish the earth and to care for it.  (Book of Genesis)  So we have a responsibility towards the earth but at the same time, we do not worship the earth.   God forbid.   Having reverence of the creation above The Creator is a serious offense to God.

"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. " -(Exodus 20:4-5)

We don't have to fear losing the earth or destroying the earth... Why? .. Because only God is the creator of the earth and only God can destroy the earth.   And while the earth remains He has promised that  ", seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease." - Gen. 8:22.

What we do have to be concerned about is defiling the earth and that is done by literally undoing His command to replenish the earth with people when those people are unfit to inhabit God's earth because of unrighteousness.  The Bible states that the land will "vomit out" its inhabitants because of corruption and sin.   Throughout the Old Testament we see that all the evil pagan empires died off and their people as an individual identity were wiped from the earth.  These were civilizations and cultures that we can only read about today.

So our responsibility as earth-dwellers is not just to pick up our litter but MORE IMPORTANTLY, to raise up righteous seed to form generations to bless the earth with humanity that will bring forth glory to God as it is meant to be.   Despite what some might believe, God worshipers blanketing the earth glorifies God a lot more than even a select animal species that have become extinct.    It's part of life - and truly a matter of life and death where it matters most.   

To those who love God, He blesses by blessing their children and offspring, and even promises of long life upon the earth are also given.    Righteousness to God is tied - in with long life and fruitfulness.  

Today, the loudest ones who are portraying themselves as earth lovers are either modern day (pagan) earth worshipers in the same evil spirit of ancient pagan religions that have always existed before OR political strategists seeking power through this as an agenda in order to control a conglomerate of environmental, geographical and scientific globalized community base.   They care very little about the earth but simply want to draw in a crowd of people who will buy in to politics hiding behind a noble cause.  And although they do not have the science to back up their claims that humans are the main cause of drastic climate change (or global warming if you prefer), the sentimentality, dramatic media coverage hype of lies and total exaggerations is enough to get the masses in their favor.  

The earth is a gift to us from God and so, to pay more attention to it above God Himself is to regard the gift above the gift-giver.   We are never to regard anything above God (as per the first commandment) nor should we believe that earthly or universal mysteries in themselves are where the power of life exists.   God alone is the Creator and Sustainer of life.  

God is the first cause of our existence upon the earth.  Lets give thanks to Him because if we don't, we fail to see that no creation is as awesome as its Creator.      Praise God!

Glory to God - Happy Earth Day!!!

From Temptation to Conqueror!

The Bible teaches that when Jesus was on earth, He endured all manner of temptations as a man but did not sin.  (Book of Hebrews)


Christ acknowledges our sufferings and has allowed that our trials if accepted with faith, help us grow in endurance and thus bring us sanctification and joy in Him as an end result. 


This is the experience of every true Christian in their walk with Christ. 


The Bible states that He will always make a way of escape from our temptations and no temptations would ever be too great for us to handle.  (Book of James)


Consider these teachings from God's Word, The Bible to empower you on your trials and temptations.  


Regardless of which temptations, there is power giving from God to overcome them for those who are truly repentant of their sins.  When Christ's Spirit indwells us, we are a "new creation" in Christ.  "Old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new".


Only God can do that for us because we were "dead in trespasses".


Do not believe in the lies so prevalent in today's evil culture which look to self define us by our sinful and sexual impulses and proclivities but instead be renewed in the Truth of the Word which teaches that our identities are found IN CHRIST, and God's inheritance.   This is what is meant by being a human created in God's image.  Our identities are not found in HUMAN impulses or sinful practices but in Christ likeness which is God's will for us from the beginning.  







Thus, we are no longer thieves; we are no longer adulterers; we are no longer con artists; we are no longer homosexuals; we are no longer pedophiles; we are no longer murderers; we are no longer ex cons; we are no longer gang bangers; etc., etc.  (Read: 1 Corinthians 6:11)


On Youtube, there are so many personal testimonials recorded of people who have found their identities in Christ from all of the above mentioned lifestyles. 


Although we are ALL born into sin, those sins do not make up who we are supposed to be in Christ because Christ has no sin. (1 Peter 2:22; 2 Corinth. 5:21)   Therefore, if Christ be IN US, how can we continue on in those lifestyles and sinful practices?   

If we truly "confess our sins He is just to forgive us for our sins, and to cleans us of ALL unrighteousness".   (1 John 1:9)






The only thing that can separate us from this truth is our own decision to not believe God's Word.   And the danger in that is that we end up calling God a liar and will have to give an account of this when we're judged.   (Read: Romans 3:3-4)

2 Corinthians Chapt. 5:
 

For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
 
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.[b] The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.  All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;  that is, in Christ God was reconciling[c] the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.  Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.  For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

---------------------------

Once God's Spirit indwells us, it is no longer we who live but Christ who lives through us.  Our bodies are not our own but His; paid for by the price He paid on the cross and with His blood - for our sins.

Therefore, our lives are a "living sacrifice" to Him, who is pure, who is good and perfect - unlike we who have to continue in this mortal body with it's proclivities and earthly desires.   Let us find strength in Him, who is able to carry us through our trials so that we may grow in Spiritual strength and endurance by faith and self discipline for His glory.  

2 Corinthians 10:5: 

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

 

We have been GIVEN the power to take into captivity every thought in order to obey Christ.


This power can be yours to break free from a culturally self-imposed identity that you know truly isn't you.... but instead a true you awaits to be revealed in Jesus, our Lord.   

"And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" - Ephesians 2:6

He is worthy to be praised!
Praise God and peace, and grace to you in your walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Christian Persecution: PHYSICAL AND POLITICAL:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xw32CZJMTKg



This Easter, our President decided to take an opportunity to once again insult and unjustly identify Christians as "unloving"; although he (unfairly) gave no examples to justify his words.  This comes right smack in the face of the most massive Christian persecution by Muslim extremists we've ever seen in history.    Mr. President couldn't wait to do this but on Christianity's holiest of days, ...the day we celebrate our Lord's Resurrection. 

Also, at the National Prayer Breakfast, in February, he accused Christians of being guilty of killing in the name of Christ during the Crusades, Inquisition and racism in American history, etc..  Knowing fully well that true Christians don't go to war with the sword as written in the Word of God but instead identify themselves by Christ's love, the spreading of Christ's Gospel, and laying down their lives for Him - as history clearly testifies to.  Never has any true Christian doctrine promoted slavery, prejudice or racism because no doctrines can be argued for these things then nor now, and the scripture itself is proof of this.

But these ignorant attacks upon the Christian faith spouted out by our own President will only empower those extreme secular groups in his far left side of politics and also the same extremists who are physically finding it within their evil hearts to continue beheading Christians around the world. 





Evil is exclusive to the wicked and evil hearts of men that contradict Christ's teaching, and any time the name of Christ is used to justify evil, it is more than evident that their actions contradict the Words of Christ. 

Jesus Himself said that we are ONLY His friends if we do what He says.   (John 15:14)

These aren't the only times when our President has mocked the Bible while still claiming to be Christian.     Jesus said, "You'll know them by their fruits".

But hatred of Christ and the persecution of Christians in the world is in full effect around the world physically and politically, and there is no little proof of this by what is being seen around the world today.

The LGBT lobby is an instrument by the secular extreme left to change our constitutional laws and the Christian fabric that has held together the morality of not only our constitutional history but also recorded human history by attacking the institutions of family and marriage that has been the staple of human societies for thousands of years. 

 In an effort to develop a human rights campaign for a minority group that makes up ONLY about  2%-5% of the American population, we've seen a monstrous attack on religious liberties that have been in place since the forming of our American Constitution.    So while tolerance is being cried out by political persecutors, people of faith in our country are being marginalized, prosecuted and imprisoned for their faith.   The hypocrisy couldn't be more clear.   These Americans stand to continue losing their jobs, their rights of free speech to express their opposition, and are themselves now the bullied and persecuted minority.    Today, even having an opinion against what the secular-run powers that be want to indoctrinate, is enough to get your voice shut down in the public square.

We're seeing these things taking place globally and our western powers are in the forefront of kindling the flames of these modern times.  


If anyone still questions whether we're in last days or if this President is Christian, they're without a doubt suffering from the blindness that only comes upon a people during the very judgment of God right before judgement sets upon a land.  (Read Romans Chapt. 1)

Barack Obama is not Christian but a deceitful antichrist under the control of the powers that will eventually bring on a new world order.  His confessions of Christ are a lie and we need not be fooled by him.    For "Satan is the father of lies" and those that take up after him do his will.  What more obedience to evil is the persecution of the Saints?   (Read John 8:44)

"and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world." - 1 John 4:3

Let us pray for our families, our land...
Let us pray that God's will be done as He would have it, and let us hold our heads up in confidence because our redemption is drawing near.   

Come Lord, Jesus!
