Is Tech Quenching the Holy Spirit?

2025-05-27T08:21:00.000-07:00

Can the gifts of the Holy Spirit effectively work anymore with the distractions of modern technology?

This is a real question I’ve been pondering lately. Is online technology creating such a distraction in our minds that we can’t hear the Holy Spirit or allow it to work in our lives anymore?

It seems to me that since the advent of television, the gifts of the Holy Spirit have been declining to the point of near obscurity in our modern world.

I’m sure unbelief in the Holy Bible and the ramping up of sin in the world have caused the decline as well, yet aren’t these caused mostly by modern technology?

Essentially, the programming from TV and online channels has taught people what to believe, and these mediums are so powerful, they’ve cast a strong spell over the nations to believe nearly everything they say.

It seems television and online technology have been rolled out on purpose to have the effect of nullifying the Holy Spirit, which operates by faith in the Holy Bible.

I’m just speculating, but I don’t think the gifts of the Holy Spirit are hardly working anymore because believers have become distracted by technology. We no longer have that quiet space in our minds where the Spirit can work.

Healing, prophecy, deliverance of demons, and speaking in tongues are some of the main gifts being nullified in believers as their minds become constantly distracted by technology.

The last time the gifts worked in crowds of believers was in the early 1900s. The Azusa Street revival, the Welsh revival, A.A. Allen, Smith Wigglesworth, etc.

Yet, this was before TV. After the television, we may hear of the gifts working through individuals like Henry Gruver, Nickie Pinson, and other older believers, yet it’s becoming rarer to hear about any of the gifts working, especially in younger people.

Yes, there are many false or deceived believers claiming they are prophets or healers, that they are operating in the gifts, but are they really? Can we believe some prideful YouTuber who is claiming this and that with no evidence? Many people say they hear from God, etc., yet how many really do, and are they immersed in online technology or free from it?

I believe there are older believers who hear from God, yet do younger believers operate in the Spirit still, those born into technology? I haven’t heard or found any that do, not to the same degree as before television.

This brings me back to the question: can the Holy Spirit still operate effectively in believers with online technology distracting them?

It seems the stimulus from online technology is too powerful for the quiet needed for the Holy Spirit to work. I think this is what the enemy intended by rolling out technology in these end times, in addition to controlling us with it.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Now, We See Through a Glass Darkly

2025-02-02T15:40:00.000-08:00

In this temporary world, we know in part.

Think about looking through a dark glass, or looking through a glass darkly, and this is how clearly we understand scriptures and the truth.

1 Corinthians 13: 12

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as I am known.

The inspired King James 1611 Authorized Version is the infallible Word of God, yet even with this perfect Holy Bible, our understanding is only in part, as we see through a glass darkly.

This explains why there are so many divisions among sincere believers.

The stronger the move of God, the stronger the Devil works to create divisions and counterfeits. This is a frustrating experience for believers who would rather things be simple and easy.

When our temporary existence in the world is over and we are with Jesus in heaven, we will have that simple experience, we will see clearly and fully know as we are known of God.

I think all true believers touched by the infirmities of this fallen world and their flesh are looking forward to this time to come.

The problem that arises is when believers or false believers (God knows) become dogmatic and rigid in their understanding, doctrines, and faith — it is as if they can’t stand looking through this dark glass and humbling themselves to their limitations; rather, they will fight and persecute anyone who doesn’t believe what they do in every single area of faith.

They so desperately want to see through the glass clearly, they allow the Devil to provide a false light upon the glass, making it seem very clear, and generally, only they can see it.

Their sincere faith becomes a zealous dogma that everyone must bow to, in order to be saved. This often happens because they have pride and not humility.

As I study Christian revivals of the past, like the Azusa Street Mission and revival, I notice how zealous believers were and how this often led to great divisions and splits in these movements for seemingly small differences. The closer we get to God, the more prideful people get over the smallest doctrinal differences.

In their zeal, they seem to forget the next verse in this chapter:

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

For instance, is sanctification a one-time work of God, or is it a process that God works in believers as they mature over time?

Well, that small doctrinal question split the already diminished Azusa Street Mission and revival between brothers William H. Durham and William J. Seymour in 1911.

Another instance is when William Seymour went to Los Angeles for the first time in 1906 to pastor a church by invitation, only to be locked out and left homeless because he believed the baptism of the Holy Ghost was evidenced by tongues.

Seems a bit harsh for believers to treat each other this way, yet this is the story of our faithful brethren throughout the 2,000 years since Jesus Christ died for our sins.

Sincere believers, humble men and women, are often caught up in this type of division over seemingly small doctrinal differences. Hey, maybe they were both right in some measure.

I also notice that since television, sports, the internet, and entertainment have become so prominent in modern society, the zealousness of believers has died down significantly. We have become apathetic and indifferent to doctrines and the faith, even which Bibles are inspired or not.

At least the believers of old were zealous, they were hot and not lukewarm. God can work with hot and cold, but the lukewarm He will spew out of His mouth — reject.

Regardless, until our temporary lives here are over and we are in heaven with Jesus, we will see through a glass darkly, we will know in part.

Accepting the Holy Bible means we accept this limitation, rather than trying to fill in the blanks and see everything clearly, so we can be more spiritual and above others.

In our fallen state, we are limited, which means we must depend on God more, we must humble ourselves always in order to grow in grace and truth.

It isn’t easy to accept our limitations and still hold strong convictions, admit we know in part while still having a strong faith, yet it isn’t our faith we have anyway, it is the faith of Jesus. We have faith in the faith of Jesus, as it is explained in the scriptures.

In the world, a person can know everything (at least think they do) and feel good about themselves, that they have perfect clarity on things — even if it is only a shifting illusion in reality.

Without the truth of God, everything is a shifting illusion provided by the false light of Satan. Yet, unbelievers can at least feel they have clarity in their understanding, which makes them feel powerful.

In reality, these powerful feelings are nothing more than prideful illusions that will come crashing down when they die or fail in their selfish pursuits of greatness and control, yet this false perception is a powerful delusion for sure.

In truth, we will never see through the glass clearly in this fallen state, we will never know fully in this world, even if we are sincere believers who dedicate our lives to God and the Holy Bible.

What we can have is hope that one day we will see clearly through the glass and know in full when we are with Jesus in heaven.

For now, we have to humbly accept our limitations, trusting in the faith of Jesus, that He sees clearly and knows everything, thus allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us in the Way.

While we can be zealous to know God and draw nigh unto Him with conviction of the truths we can understand, we must remember our limitations in this fallen world.

On a final note, be weary of those who think they see through a glass clearly, who claim to know in full, as it is a sure sign they are being fooled by the Devil through their prideful weakness.

Only Jesus Christ is Immortal

2024-11-23T11:12:00.000-08:00

There is no eternal life in hell for the unsaved.

There seems to be a misunderstanding about who has eternal life in the afterlife. Most Christians now believe that both those who are saved and unsaved have eternal life after we die in this realm, yet is this really true according to the Holy Bible?

The Bible states that only Jesus Christ is immortal, which means only those in the body of Jesus will have eternal life in the Kingdom of God and Heaven.

This means that those who are not in the body of Jesus Christ, i.e. those who don’t believe nor have faith in the Holy Bible, will not have eternal life, as only Jesus Christ is immortal and those in his body.

As believers, we are part of the body of Jesus Christ.

Here are the scriptures that explain this:

1 Timothy 6:16

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

The preceding verses, 14–15 explain this verse is talking about Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

Conclusion

Those who aren’t believers in the Holy Bible, in Jesus Christ (the Word made flesh), aren’t going to have eternal life in hell, rather, they will be destroyed during the second death in the Lake of Fire after the last judgment.

The belief that unbelievers will be tortured eternally in hell comes from false doctrine. Rather, they will suffer the second death (the death of their souls) in the Lake of Fire and be no more.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t a holding place until then called hell, yet it does mean our souls are not eternal unless they are redeemed by the sinless blood of Jesus and reconciled back to Father God by faith in his Son Jesus Christ.

In my understanding, the worst reprobates and wicked will suffer in a holding place called hell, yet most people are just dead and “sleeping” in their graves until the final judgment.

The Bible is clear though that only Jesus Christ is immortal, thus we can conclude with certainty that there is no eternal life for anyone outside of the body of Jesus Christ, thus, there is no eternal life for those who are not saved.

The Catholic church has popularized the doctrine of hell and eternal life for the wicked, yet this doctrine doesn’t come from the Holy Bible. This denigrates the character of God, his mercy, and the nature of salvation. This false doctrine stops many people from coming to the faith, as they see God as unloving and unfair.

If we simply believe in what the Bible plainly states, we can correct this misunderstanding and have a clearer view of God’s loving character, mercy, and fairness.

Where Did God Come From?

2024-10-14T12:10:00.000-07:00

Ultimately, our understanding is limited.

This is probably the most in-depth question we could ask about this life. Pondering it will bring about an acute awareness of our limited understanding.

Even for those who believe alien life forms created us, well, where did they come from? Furthermore, where did the material for the Big Bang theory come from?

The origin story of existence always comes to this place where our human understanding is incapable of comprehending.

Personally, I believe in the Holy Bible in its inspired form. This tells me that God never had a beginning and will never have an ending. That is something we can’t understand in the fallen state we are in now.

In this world cursed by sin and death, we have a comprehensive mindset that there is a beginning and ending for everything, yet this has been cultivated by the curse we are under. When sin entered in, so did death, a beginning and an ending. Before this, we experienced the eternal with only the beginning of our creation in our minds.

Even before the fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden, we probably couldn’t comprehend how God never had a beginning, as we had one when He created us.

The question that really boggles the mind and for me brings a fearful feeling is pondering what would happen if there was no God (Creator)? Nothingness is a scary concept if one carefully considers the implications.

Thankfully, there is something, so we don’t have to worry about the nothingness, yet where the something came from isn’t something I can comprehend.

God just is, always has been, and always will be. Thankfully God is love.

We know God is love because He came in the form of Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, and died a cursed death for our sins, so we can be reconciled back to our Creator and spend eternity with a loving God in heaven.

With our limited understanding of God and the eternal, He had to condescend to our level of understanding as cursed humans to help us. The Holy Bible is this message we can understand — the truth as we can comprehend.

Unfortunately, questions like how is there no beginning and ending with God are simply beyond our capability to comprehend.

We are limited and must rely on faith, evidenced by the things we can comprehend, which are explained to us through God’s Word, the Holy Bible, and the evidence that aligns with it sincerely.

One final note; I find it interesting how modern humans apart from God think they know so much, yet can’t answer this simple question. If those who believe in science were being honest, they would conclude their understanding is very limited and humble themselves.

Death Humbles Everyone

2024-02-16T08:19:00.000-08:00

What do you know in the land of lies?

How do we get so haughty, to not fear our Creator?

Being a sentient being, we are aware of death, yet it is hard for a healthy human to consider that far-off future thing.

We pray and hope for those things God has put in our hearts, yet there is an enemy putting things into our hearts too. These contradict each other and can diminish our potential if we yield to lies. God’s will for each of us is good and prosperous, to be comforted and loved, yet he can’t make us believe his message to his creation.

The Holy Bible in its inspired forms is God’s message to his creation, to mankind. The Holy Spirit worked through believers and his only begotten Son to bring us his message, His story.

The enemy has been hard at work to impersonate God and his believers, in order to denigrate their faith with a false religion. The false church the enemy has created is used by pragmatic social engineers to foment unbelief, indifference, and animosity toward Christianity.

People are so befuddled by the deceptions, and so misinformed about science, that they assuredly believe they have the answers without God and/or the Holy Bible. They are self-righteous, as though they have an ironclad case against the faith of Jesus Christ.

The social engineering is perpetuated by the workers of iniquity and the useful idiots ostensibly, yet God is allowing what we have asked for, what we rightly deserve with our apostasy and contentment with lies.

The Bible explains how judgment works by detailing the history of Israel and the prophets of God. The theme is similar throughout the books, bad things happen when we stray from God and serve idols and false gods.

God isn’t fooling around with his creation, he knows the beginning from the end. He will not allow sin to enter heaven, yet Jesus of Nazareth made a way for those who have the faith of Jesus and are changed into his image.

True faith isn’t what most people think. It isn’t joining a club or going to church necessarily. It is searching for the truth out of sincere love for it.

No one should become a Christian to fit in or please others. It should only come from an honest belief that the Holy Bible is the Word of God. If someone doesn’t believe the Bible, yet thinks they are saved, they will change the Bible into what they need to continue playing the game, rather than allowing the Bible to change them.

One day we will all feel the sting of death, and it will take all the haughtiness and pride away from us. We will be at the mercy of our Creator once our time here is over.

If this reckoning is inevitable, I wonder why so many people think and act like they are going to live forever in this world. They are in for a huge surprise one day.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD

2024-01-12T10:33:00.000-08:00

When we consider the poor among us, let the verses in the Holy Bible guide us in our beliefs and actions.

Let’s examine this verse (all verses are KJV),

Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

When we lend and give to the poor, we are giving to Jesus. This correlates with this verse,

Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

In the extended passage, Jesus was teaching his disciples to not neglect the thirsty, hungry, unclothed stranger, sick, and prisoner.

Those who showed compassion and helped those in need were told this,

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Those who didn’t help those in need were told this,

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, in to everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Having pity on the poor is having the heart of Jesus. It is an indication of someone having the Holy Spirit. We can’t help everyone and having healthy boundaries is good, yet having pity and doing what we can as God gives is key.

True, many people who help the poor aren’t Christian, yet they are partaking in the goodness of God when giving to others. If they are doing it from their heart, God is calling them and they will hear if they love the truth.

Many people may go through the motions of doing good works, yet not for the right reasons. Maybe well-intentioned Christians are making them feel guilty to do good works, yet their heart isn’t in it. We shouldn’t do anything we don’t feel led to do with our conscience, even if others are trying to scare us, intimidate us, guilt trip us, twist scripture, etc.

The faith of Jesus Christ wants us to understand and believe in the truth before we act on our doubt and unbelief. If we have understanding and confidence in what we believe, doing good works will come naturally, including helping the poor.

The Proverbs verse also explains that those who lend unto the poor God will pay back. One way or another, Jesus will get you back; if not monetarily then with something better.

I remember a verse where Jesus says to invite those to dinner who can’t pay you back, rather than those who can repay. The idea is, don’t give just to get back. So, even though God will recompense us, we aren’t to expect it or do the deed for that reason.

I understand that many people are on the streets and in poverty for their own choices and enabling them isn’t the answer. Sometimes, giving someone your time and counsel is better than money.

With discernment, we can have pity on the poor among us, praying for and giving to them if God leads. If someone has a hard heart toward the poor, consider the reason and try to let verses like this work in your heart.

The light of the body is the eye

2023-10-15T08:37:00.006-07:00

The King James Version Bible has a wonderful way of using words to express God’s thoughts through the Holy Spirit.

For instance, let’s read Luke 11:34–36:

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no dark part, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

Interesting how it warns us to not let the light within us be darkness. This must be talking about a false light. We might think we have light in us, but we have to take heed that it isn’t a false light, which is darkness.

Often, we use rationalizations to justify our sins, which is a form of false light or worldly wisdom.

This passage is also very important because it emphasizes the role our eyes play in allowing light or darkness into our lives. With our eyes, we lust after people and things, which makes our whole body full of darkness.

We can often see the light and darkness in other people through their eyes.

2 Peter 2:14:

Having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices, cursed children.

Ephesians 1:18:

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

There are many scriptures about the eyes. Jesus healed many people of blindness, yet he couldn’t help those who had eyes but could not see spiritually while thinking they could.

There is so much darkness around us in the modern world, both online, through television, and in our everyday lives. If the light of the body is the eye, then we must stay focused (single) upon God and His righteousness, so our body can be full of the light. Jesus Christ is the light and we want to let Him shine in us like a bright shining candle.

It comforts me that if I can keep my eye single upon Jesus, then the light will fill my whole body, even if the world is getting darker every day around me.

He that humbleth himself shall be exalted

2023-10-13T07:50:00.003-07:00

There isn’t anything more repulsive than pridefulness; conversely, there isn’t anything more attractive than humility.

Unfortunately, our modern world, and America in particular, promotes being prideful and self-centered. Most people are just trying to push their way to the top, always focused on themselves and being over other people. If false humility helps them in their self-centered conquest, they will put on the act, yet in reality, most modern Americans have lost touch with what humility and selflessness are.

We can count on the Bible for the solution:

Luke 14:11

For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Being a fallen human means we all struggle with pride and selfishness in some measure, yet some of us are trying to follow the Bible and some are not. Some of us have learned the lesson explained in the shared verse and most of us have not.

Our modern culture is a Satanic mindset that values material things and superficial accolades, rather than the values explained in the Bible. The majority of people are simply striving for carnal benefits, such as more money, popularity, status, bigger material objects, more expensive possessions, better looking mates, positions in charge at work, etc.

Instead of laying low and only desiring God’s will, they are exceedingly ambitious to be the top dog in everything and over everyone! Using the dog analogy is poignant, as this is how most people act, like dogs rather than humans made in the image of God.

Ye shall know them by their fruits.

Matthew 7:20

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

God is trying to help us through His Word, through the laws written in our hearts, and through our conscience, yet most people disregard this help and listen to the world’s wisdom instead. We can easily see what kind of fruit this is producing in America and the world.

One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had is being homeless. I always worked during these periods of homelessness. Being down like this helped me see people more clearly; I was able to observe the world around me with a different perspective and see how people were going nowhere fast and with a false sense of purpose.

I wasn’t jealous and bitter, rather I felt bad for people, as they didn’t know what they had and they were so caught up in living a meaningless life full of vanity and sin. I could see it in their eyes, their energy pulsating with self-centeredness and anxious ambition for worldly things.

Of course, there are exceptions. When we are without worldly materials and accolades, we meet people who are sincere and real. Being down acts as a filter, to remove all of the false people and only let in the real.

Obviously, many homeless people are also false, full of pride, addicted to drugs, thieving, and with bitter hearts. I didn’t associate with these types.

When it comes down to it, this world has nothing to offer our souls. Only our Creator has something to offer through His Son Jesus Christ. The most valuable things are eternal life, loving others, and loving God. Really, these are the only things that will continue on with us into eternity. Everything else in this world is temporary, so why be so prideful and vain about them?

Mark 8:36

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Being prideful and self-centered is a false way to live, it is also meaningless in the end no matter who you think you are and what you think you have. Those who exalt themselves in this life will only eat rotten fruit here, and in the afterlife will find their souls destroyed forever — they shall be abased.

Those who humbeth themselves in this life, will eat good fruit here, and in the afterlife be exalted in paradise with a loving God forever.

Praise Jesus Christ, for He is just.

Truth brings division and not peace

2023-10-11T08:09:00.003-07:00

Some passages in the Bible are harder to understand at first than others, yet if we meditate on them and balance them with other parts of the book, we can discern their meaning more clearly.

One of these passages is from Jesus Christ himself in Luke 12:51

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but, rather division.

He goes on to explain,

52 From henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Christians might be asking, why is Jesus coming to bring division, even among close family members? Isn’t he the Prince of Peace?

We know that God doesn’t want any to perish, so we know that He isn’t creating division for his pleasure.

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

What Jesus is explaining is the reality of what the truth will do in our fallen world. There will be some people who accept the truth and those who do not. Jesus Christ is the Truth, remember.

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

We can see division in our world today in every aspect of society. Sometimes two groups or people who are both wrong or false are divided, yet many times it is a division based upon truth and falseness.

Maybe Christians can agree that Jesus Christ is the truth, as the Bible clearly says this, yet they still believe lies as they are deceived by Satan, represented by the world or the establishment.

Those who believe the lies from the world will eventually believe the lies about Jesus, who is the Word of God. Thus, they will not believe in the inspired Bible.

This is where the division is happening, between the truth and lies. Just look at the recent worldwide event that happened in 2020 and see how divided people are around the truth of this.

Jesus Christ is letting us know in this passage that his first coming was going to bring division among people based upon those who believe in the truth and those who believe in lies. Even among close relatives.

For instance, just look at how true Bible believers were mercilessly persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church for 1300 years; this represented the division between truth and lies, as a false religious system claiming to be Christian persecuted those who were actually true Christians.

In essence, this division separates the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the tares; it is a test for God to see who truly believes and who doesn’t.

The division is both specific to faith in the Holy Bible and in general according to our love of the truth and hatred of lies.

There are truths about the world we live in that tradition and established thought doesn’t allow people to believe without persecution — many times this persecution comes from those who claim to be Christian.

We have to love the truth and let the chips fall where they may. While there has been and will be division because of the truth, we just want to make sure we are on the right side, the side of Truth/Jesus Christ.

Janelle Wooford's Christian NDE Testimony in Heaven

2023-02-17T08:11:00.000-08:00

Janelle Wooford was recently interviewed on CBN and her Christian NDE was featured as one of their stories. Her NDE happened after a sudden heart attack happened to her at home while she was with her daughter.

She called the paramedics, yet died once they got there and was without a heartbeat for two and a half minutes. She went to another realm, heaven, where there was no pain and she felt comfort and the glory of God. She wasn't there for long before she had to come back at the calling of her name.

The amazing part is how she didn't want to come back, even when her daughter was there still on Earth. That shows us how amazing heaven must be, that she didn't want to come back even to reunite with those she loved here, nor finish whatever she had going on here. Heaven is so fulfilling and comforting, it takes away all desire to be back here.

This is a screen recording I did about the NDE, to read the article and watch the interviews, visit:

Watch: Jimmy Evans – Demystifying Marriage – The Four Laws of Love for Marriage

2023-01-31T08:22:00.006-08:00

The four laws of love for marriage:

Priority
Purity
Pursuit
Partnership

Pastor Jimmy Evans does a great job counseling about marriage from a Biblical perspective. His testimony makes us feel better because he can relate to the problems people face in marriage.

It is evident, God has anointed him to teach about this subject.

There are so many people struggling in their marriages in America and the Western world especially. Marriages take work, especially when we live in a culture that has rejected the Word of God.

Saving our marriages is one of the most important things we can do as Christians, as divorce is wreaking havoc on people's lives, including the children who are learning to live dysfunctionally and not stay together.

There is much to learn about how to be in a healthy marriage. I know this is true for me. Learning to have a good marriage helps us learn more about ourselves and our walk with God.

I pray this video blesses you and helps your marriage. May God help our marriages in America stay together in Jesus Christ's name.

Saint Paul’s Story Teaches Us Patience

2023-01-04T13:25:00.003-08:00

In a sped-up world, patience is golden.

Twice in the last week, I heard the story of how long Paul waited before he started his formal ministry. First, when listening to a Christian teaching and second, this morning reading the Bible. I didn’t search for the scripture, it was just part of the sequential reading pattern I use.

Here are the verses (KJV):

Galatians 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

Galatians 2:1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

From what I gather from these verses, after Paul’s miraculous conversion on the way to Damascus, he waited for three years before he went to Jerusalem and then waited another 14 years before going back there again and beginning his mission trips.

In Galatians chapter one he talks about going to Arabia for three years and then back to Damascus before going to Jerusalem for the first time.

In total, Paul waited 17 years before he set out to preach to the Jews and Gentiles on his mission trips. The Bible doesn’t tell us what he did in the interim.

Paul was a younger man when he was Saul, so after these 17 years of waiting, he must have been closer to middle age.

It would seem if someone had such a profound encounter with Jesus himself, they would want to proclaim it right away to everyone, yet Paul was patient and waited until he was led by God.

In our modern world, everything is sped-up and accelerated. If someone has to wait a day to do something important it may seem like forever. I think that is why this message is so important to us Christians today.

Yes, we want to please God and do His will, yet are we patient enough to wait for it to be revealed to us? What if it takes years for us to know, even decades?

I think partly the problem is the thought of these being the end times, so there isn’t much time left. Also, the way technology has conditioned us to expect things right away — instant gratification.

Regardless of these influences, let us consider how Paul felt after his conversion; his experience was likely more exciting than anything most of us have felt, yet he was willing to wait and be patient for his calling to come.

Knowing how long Paul waited for his calling to be sure gives me solace in my walk with God. Good things take time, even if it seems longer than we might want or think.

Let everyone run past us to the front of the line, because if God is with us in our waiting, whatever He has in store for us will happen without our striving. The patience developed could be the exact lesson He wanted us to learn in the first place.

Is There One Truth or Billions?

2023-01-03T07:15:00.009-08:00

Is truth absolute or relative?

As a truth seeker, inevitably, the topic of truth comes up in conversations. This is especially true when talking with people for the first time.

Driving a taxi for four years gave me plenty of opportunities to bring up this topic with strangers, in addition to life in general.

As a Christian living in an unbelieving world, being able to defend the faith without sounding dogmatic or out of touch with modern pragmatism and secular understanding isn’t easy.

At some point in my informal apologetic and evangelic efforts, God gave me a question to ask the unbeliever, the scorner, and the doubting.

"Does it sound more reasonable that there is one truth or billions?"

Most people would honestly respond with, “One truth.”

I would then ask, “Then what is it?”

I would explain that maybe I was wrong in believing the one truth was found in the Holy Bible, yet in general, it seems logical that there was only one truth, whatever it might be.

Is Physics the One Truth?

There have been some hard cases in the mix. One time an older gentleman who was selling me an electric scooter was convinced the one truth was found in physics.

Not being a physics major and only getting through my college math course with a C+, I wasn’t capable of speaking about physics at his level. He was a retired academic, probably a professor of the same topic.

I was able to say something profound, which I want to explore with you.

"If there is one absolute then that means there is one truth, as this shows we have a commonality that comes from one creator."

The Absolute Question

One thing I do understand about higher-level math is it becomes theoretical at a certain point. In other words, it takes faith to believe in physics.

Besides this, I narrowed it down to the theoretical equation:

Absolute = One Truth

If there is even one absolute, this equation should be true.

What is an absolute?

The Collins Dictionary defines it as so:

"adjective: Absolute means total and complete.

noun: An absolute is a rule or principle that is believed to be true, right, or relevant in all situations."

In math, the absolute value is defined as how far a number is from 0.

The noun definition is most relevant to what I’m discussing; the part of the absolute being right in all situations. That means it is something ubiquitous that is true for everyone.

Is it true to say if there is one absolute then there is one truth, one God?

First, let’s examine if there is even one absolute:

We can all agree there is something rather than nothing

Anyone who is being honest would have to admit there is something rather than nothing, even if we don’t know or agree on what that something is.

Here is another:

Everything living on earth has a beginning and ending

Here is another absolute we can all agree on. Everything that is alive had a beginning and will have an end. Even if you want to say rocks and inanimate objects have life through their cell frequencies, then we can agree everything eventually breaks down into dust.

So dust or dirt is the absolute, the main substance of all things.

Interesting that the Holy Bible says God created us from dust.

Is there a pattern that everything is made from?

There are 118 elements on the periodic table. Every animate and inanimate thing is made from these elements.

Besides these standards, the absolutes mentioned have already proved everything created has something in common. We are something rather than nothing.

If everything animate and inanimate have one thing in common (at least), doesn’t this mean we have one creator? And if there is one creator, doesn’t this mean there is one truth?

If there is this absolute, then there is a standard from which all creation is measured. Rather than have a relative truth for each person, we have a truth that can be measured from the same absolute standard.

The 8 can’t say it is a 7, as relative truth would dictate. Rather, both the 7 and 8 are defined by their measurement from 0, the absolute. Their truth is the same, although their measurement is different.

Infinite Truths = Confusion

Doesn’t it make sense that there is one truth rather than billions?

I say billions, but it could be trillions, or infinite depending on how many sentient beings want to define their relative truth.

Yes, we have micro truths that may be different, but the macro truth must be without contradiction. Sort of like micro and macroevolution. There is objective and scientifically provable microevolution, but only theoretical macroevolution.

This conversation is relevant considering we live in an age where most people believe in relative truth. Not because it is correct beyond question, but because it is convenient and trending in mainstream society.

Having a relative truth is self-serving, as it allows people to make it up according to their predilections.

Believing in an absolute truth means being accountable to it, and this means submitting ourselves to a higher authority or power. This means measuring our thoughts and behaviors according to the standard or absolute of this one truth.

Reasonable Conclusions

This profound question helped me in my taxi conversations and in general because it simplifies the complexity of the unknown. The reasonable answer must be there is only one truth, because if there were more than one then there are infinite different truths.

Reasonable people can easily conclude that if there are contradictory beliefs or theories, either one or neither can be true. Conclusions that contradict each other cannot both be true — either they both are wrong or one is correct.

This correlates with many of the popular and idealistic notions our modern world extols, such as equality, ecumenism, unity, and integral compromise.

Once reasonable people come to the conclusion that it makes more sense to say there is only one truth, then the question becomes what is it?

This is when I explain to truth-seeking people that I believe the Holy Bible is this one truth because of the proofs I’ve found. Maybe I’m wrong, yet it does mean I can’t be both wrong and right at the same time and neither could they.

This put us on solid ground in a relative truth society. This gave us an absolute standard on which to base our conclusions.

Ultimately, if we can deduce from this logical conclusion that there is only one truth then we will have a greater chance of finding it.

Thanks for exploring this question with me.

The Body and the Soul

2022-12-28T07:54:00.010-08:00

I am a spiritual being inside a mortal body.

There are more questions than answers when someone starts thinking about who we are and what the meaning of life is. There are many trite and superficial answers that people may say to seem smart and deep, but there is an uncanny mystery to these questions that begs us to submit to our limitations.

Regardless of the futility of finding provable answers that don’t require faith to believe in, the process and exercise of asking and seeking the answers are profitable and even necessary to living a fulfilling life.

While there are some who bypass this process and simply stick to hedonistic and selfish pleasures with superficial and capricious values, they are building on a foundation of sand that will one day simply be washed away.

Time is a great equalizer when it comes to revealing the truth of what is in us and how whatever we sow we shall also reap.

There doesn’t even need to be some catastrophic incident or tragic happening to force us to recognize our own manipulations and failings. The cycle of life brings us back to the place we squirmed out of and ran from with ignorant assurances in our narcissistic minds.

With that said, some of us believe that humans have a soul that is separate from our body. The separation line isn’t as easy to discern, yet let’s say simply the soul is reflected and manifested through our mind, heart, and body.

The soul is what is real, it is what was made by God. The body is a temporary apparatus that has already died in the future, therefore, has a verifiable end in sight. On the other hand, the soul has a chance to live in eternity or be destroyed.

Some people believe the soul is eternal, yet the Bible says that only Jesus Christ is eternal — only God is eternal.

1 Timothy 6:14–16 (KJV)

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

This means that only souls that are in the body of Jesus Christ have eternal life, as only He is immortal or eternal. Conversely, everyone who isn’t in the body of this one and only immortal being will not have eternal life.

1 Corinthians 12:27 (KJV)

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

I realize many people don’t believe in Jesus Christ or the Holy Bible, yet this is what I believe and so this is where I base my conclusions about the meaning of life.

I was a secular humanist for 7 years, disavowing my faith in Christianity from 19 to 26 YOA, but I was still a truth seeker and constantly searching for the truth through other than Christian avenues. In the end, I came back to the Holy Bible, as it was where the evidence of truth led and resided.

By faith, I know God created my soul. My soul is within my body and it is given life by the spirit of God and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Everyone who is alive has life because Jesus is with us, Emmanuel. This doesn’t mean they are in the body of Jesus.

Only those who believe in and obey the Holy Bible are in the body of Jesus Christ. The Word of God is Jesus Christ himself, as it says in John 1:1 and John 1:14.

Now consider that we are a soul.

This soul is in limbo, heading to eternal life or destruction.

When asking ourselves who we are, most people identify with their bodies, yet we are spiritual beings within a dying and decaying body. The soul is in conflict with the flesh.

The flesh is the fallen nature and is represented in the body doing sinful things. There is a conflict within us to do good or to do evil. When the soul decides to do evil, this is when the soul begins to die, for the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

If someone mistakes their soul for their body or doesn’t believe they have a soul, then their soul is corrupted by their flesh to do evil.

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us back to God (2 Corinthians 5:18).

By believing in him and obeying his Word we are separating our souls from our flesh, in order to preserve our souls for God. Our true self, the soul, gains an understanding of the true nature of the reality we are battling.

The sinless blood of Jesus is a substitute for our sins. The sins of our past and the sins we stumble into on our walk with God once we believe are forgiven and covered by the sinless blood of Jesus with our repentance.

The awareness that we are our soul and we will continue on after this body dies is what begins to build our faith in God and our ability to fight against sin and the flesh.

I realize many people simply believe when we die there is nothing; that we have no soul. If that is where the evidence they’ve found through sincere truth-seeking brings them then so be it; I have found ample evidence of a supernatural realm, which indicates there is a metaphysical reality beyond our senses.

When I became a secular humanist at 19 YOA, I still believed in the supernatural. The most interesting theories I found were in metaphysical philosophy. P.D. Ouspensky is an author I read in his book In Search of the Miraculous.

While it was interesting and seemed to be leading me somewhere meaningful, in the end, I found the leading was the entire premise and the occult was the substance.

There is always a secret understanding everywhere you look, except for Christianity.

The Christian understanding is open to anyone who wants to know it.

Jesus Christ is not a respecter of persons and doesn’t have any secret knowledge for the elite.

We are our soul, not our body.

This should be comforting, knowing our bodies will inevitably perish and turn back into dust.

The meaning of our existence is to save our soul from destruction, or what the Bible calls the second death.

Revelation 20:14–15 (KJV)

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

God wants to be reconciled with our souls, which he created to be in communion with. Jesus Christ is the way we are reconciled back to God.

Our sin against God in the Garden of Eden is what separated us from God. Our knowledge of good and evil — that we could disobey God — created this fallen situation. Just knowing that we have disobeyed our creator has separated us from Him.

Many continue to disobey, refusing to believe in the Bible, which God has given us for our understanding.

The answers are with us, yet they are too simple for the flesh.

They resonate with our soul and fulfill our longing for truth, yet they contradict our flesh and the desires it longs for.

We are our souls.

This entire struggle of the human condition is a battle for souls.

God wants us to be reconciled back to him without sin and the adversary wants us to be slated for destruction like himself.

When I die my soul will be freed from my body and I will be given eternal life through Jesus Christ — this is my hope. As for now, life is with us for we are alive. Jesus is with us, knocking on the door of our hearts, asking for us to open it and give him entry.

Asking Jesus Christ into our hearts is to open the door of our hearts and soul for him to reside. No longer is he just giving us life in the body, he now is giving us life in our soul through the Holy Spirit.

Our soul with Jesus is given the power to separate from the desires of the flesh.

I am a soul within a body that has been reconciled back to the Creator. That is why I don’t want to live in sin, that is why I desire to be separate from worldliness and carnality.

The struggle for people is to understand this reality, to believe they are a soul, and to reach out to a savior and be reconciled back to their Creator. The adversary’s main purpose is to stop this reconciliation because he doesn’t have the same opportunity and misery loves company.

There is a supernatural force that loves our soul and one that hates it. One appeals to our souls beyond the flesh and the other appeals to our flesh beyond our soul.

It is my prayer that more people can see the simplicity in this understanding and begin to think like a spiritual soul in need of a savior, rather than a fleshly body that will enjoy the pleasure of sin until the inevitable end.

Only in Jesus Christ is eternal life, for only He is immortal. There is no eternal life outside of Jesus, only the second death — the destruction of the soul.

Howard Storm’s Profound Near-Death Experience

2022-12-21T14:33:00.001-08:00

God knows how to reach even avowed atheists.

In 1985, at the relatively young age of 38, Professor Howard Storm and his wife were visiting Paris on a college field trip when a life-changing incident happened to him that brought him to Jesus.

This incident was a powerful near-death experience, which worked to convert an avowed and proud atheist into a Bible-believing Christian.

Howard is now 76 years old and an ordained minister; he spends a lot of his time speaking about his experience and spreading the good news of Jesus.

Home - Howard Storm

What could turn an atheist into a believer in Jesus? Well, for Howard it took a trip to a very dark and scary place, which he believes was the outskirts of hell. It also took Jesus saving him from this ghastly place in the midst of his misery and pain.

Howard wrote a book about his experience called My Descent Into Death, A Second Chance at Life. In this book, he details the harrowing experience he had that fateful day in Paris France and in the spiritual world he visited.

Essentially, Howard had a perforation in one of his internal organs which happened suddenly and required immediate surgery to save his life. Not getting prompt medical care at the hospital in Paris because of administrative failures, he passed away in the hospital room with his wife crying next to him.

The spiritual side of the story begins after this death; the descent into death and the subsequent rescue from hell by Jesus Christ himself. After this rescue, Howard was able to talk with Jesus and ask him questions, but he was told he must come back.

He did come back from the dead; he was still in the hospital room where inexplicably a doctor was available at long last and the surgery was accomplished nearly a day after his ruptured organ burst.

He was alive again, yet still had a long road to recovery. His newfound faith from the experience would change his life forever. Unfortunately, this would mean his marriage wouldn't work out, as his wife then was an intellectual atheist like he was before, yet he would marry again, this time to a Christian wife.

No one tells the story better than Howard does, either in his book or in one of the dozens of podcasts and shows (large and small) he’s been on in the last 4 decades. His joy, love, humor, and faith are infectious to the hearer. Here is the latest I’ve found:

I realize some of my Christian brothers and sisters may not believe in NDEs, yet I find some of them to be very edifying for my faith. This one in particular has been very helpful to me since the winter of 2019 when I had a frightening experience where it seemed like I was dying.

Being 40 at the time, I started getting lightheaded one morning and my body went into an immediate fever. My arms started tingling, my breath got shorter, and my heart started beating really fast. While I can’t explain it very well, it led me to go to the emergency room.

Thankfully, I stabilized and began to feel better. I wasn’t sure if I was having a stroke or what was happening (they said it might have been a certain nerve in my spine that was damaged earlier in life), but it frightened me to start thinking about death more.

This is when I found Howard Storm’s testimony on YouTube among many other NDEs from Christians. His story stood out to me, as I believe him— it built my faith and hope in Jesus and the afterlife.

The aspect of the story that really helped was the depiction of the character of Jesus Christ. This is what brought me back to the faith when I was 26 years old (left the faith from 19 to 26 YOA), that Jesus isn’t a respecter of persons, he is our friend, and he cares about us like we were the only person alive.

In a world where everyone is seemingly trying to be the top dog, the message of Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last…, really resonates in my soul. Jesus does make a way for us to truly get victory over this world, and he shows this so well through the testimony of Howard Storm.

When you have some time in this busy world, listening to his testimony will bless your soul and build your faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This is a right now message for America. This is Pastor Jennings from the Truth in History ministry based in Tulsa, OK. Pastor Jennings preaches the British Israelite message as well as Historicism. This isn't a ministry that has been infiltrated by the Jesuits, they teach the Word in truth and love the truth.

Robert Caringola is a friend of this ministry who sometimes does messages and teachings on this channel. The Keys to Daniel and Revelation series on this channel is a great teaching of Historicism. Robert has a couple books from this ministry that explain this important doctrine as well.

2022-08-02T16:36:00.004-07:00

If you are tired of all the doom, gloom, and deception, sit back and get comfortable while watching this nearly four hour presentation about the life and times of Jesus Christ our Lord. Dr. Oswald Hoffman narrates a wonderful documentary from a Lutheran perspective that covers the Holy Land, Israel, from before Jesus was born until after he was resurrected and ascended to the Father in Heaven.

I'm not sure when this was made; I would guess some time in the 90s, which means we are that much closer to the time of Jesus, rather than today around 30 years later. A lot of BS has happened in the meantime and many people who have knowledge about the Holy Land are now passed away. This documentary captures some of these people, as Dr. Oswald does a thorough job exploring the life and times if Jesus Christ, asking questions, visiting sites, and showing us a tour we wouldn't get unless we went there ourselves -- even then we probably wouldn't get this type of tour!

The only drawback is the Catholic type of images and sites he takes us to see, essentially, the Catholic influence on the film although it is produced by Lutherans. For those who understand, we can see through this and enjoy this amazing film while learning interesting facts about the Savior we love and the Holy Land that is the center of our Biblical mindset. So sit back and take a break from this world while delving into the life and times of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Watch: Win Worley Sermon Attack! Attack! Attack!

2022-06-15T06:10:00.002-07:00

Faith in Jesus Christ in action is spiritual warfare, as we are in a battle between God and Satan, good vs. evil, and being trained to fight in the spirit is essential to winning the battles we are faced with here in this temporary fallen world on earth.

Win Worley was a former Baptist minister when he caught on to the deliverance ministry; needless to say, he grew past his Baptist theology to embrace the Holy Bible's theology without man's traditions that are influenced by Satan. In other words, Win believed the Bible more than the Baptists, which is why he stood out and had success in this battle between good and evil.

Win passed away in the early 90s from health issues, stemming from issues beyond his control. God has the keys to life and death for those who believe. While here Win fought on the front lines against the enemy with spiritual warfare using the weapons provided in the word of God. Specifically, his church did deliverance in Jesus Christ's name, ridding Christians of demonic strongholds and breaking curses; also, Win wrote many books and literature about this topic and he traveled around the U.S. ministering to others about deliverance.

Here is a sermon from Win talking about attacking the unseen enemy, the fallen angels which are now demons. Win was a very compassionate and caring Christian man who dedicated his life to helping people get free from demonic oppression and curses -- his efforts helped thousands of people directly and millions of people indirectly, and is still helping us today.

Finding deliverance ministries like this has and does help my wife and I grow in the Lord Jesus Christ, as our modern pagan country is full of occultic curses and practices. Breaking curses and getting deliverance was a major aspect of our getting freedom from curses and demons in our lives. Win Worley is a leader in this area, God bless his soul. Hope this helps you too.

Watch: Program #398 - Precious Testimonies (Christian)

2022-05-24T06:19:00.000-07:00

Precious Testimonies is a ministry that has been collecting and sharing Christian testimonies since the 1980s or so. They have a YouTube channel and website that shares many amazing testimonies from all different types of people.

Listening to Christian testimonies helps build my faith, as the Holy Bible says, we overcome the enemy by the blood of the lamb and our testimonies. Our Christian testimony is an important tool to use to reach the lost and unbelieving, as well as to help us remember where we came from and what Jesus has done in our life.

I like listening to the older episodes that combined multiple testimonies into one long two-hour video. The founder of the ministry and his wife have been recording and sharing people's testimonies since the time of VHS recording technology. They have been able to change with the times enough to get those recordings transferred to digital files to upload online. They now collect testimonies sent to them and put them on their website and channels, including YouTube.

This ministry helped me build my faith and find more assurance of my own salvation, as the true believer is always working out their salvation with fear and trembling. This is especially true when facing death or a scare that makes one consider the afterlife acutely. This happened to me a couple of years ago when I had to go to the emergency room for some strange physical issue that came about and I still don't know exactly what happened.

After this incident, I was keen to search for and listen to Christian testimonies to build my faith and gain assurance of my own salvation. This is when I started listening to Precious Testimonies while I worked at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in 2020. Interestingly, I went to the emergency room in Dec. 2019, only a few months before the false pandemic happened -- I would likely have been killed at the emergency room with a ventilator and Remdesiver poison they give to people who test positive on the PCR test, which tells us nothing at all.

Anyway, this ministry is a good source of Christian testimonies and it will help build your faith in Jesus Christ and bring you more assurance of our place within the body of God. Hope it blesses you.

Watch "Exposing the Pride that Wants to be Top and Center" (Pure Life Ministries)

2022-05-08T13:44:00.000-07:00

This episode in the "Exposing the Root of All Sin" series from Pure Life Ministries really hits the nail on the head with modern America and especially younger generations who are self-centered beyond measure. This series and episode really expose pride in the form of the know it all, the one that wants to be top and center always and no matter what. We all know this person or have been this person at one point, yet how ugly it really is.

While younger people are generally self-centered as they have little experience and haven't learned to discipline themselves socially or at all yet, this is even more true of the younger generations now with smartphones and a degenerate culture. The NWO has been brainwashing the people full-on since the television programming started; now, in 2022, we are fully indoctrinated into sin, worldly pleasures and seeking, and most of all in worshiping the self.

Praise Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, for making a way for us to escape this wicked and carnal place, where everyone is out for themselves, where the self has become the God of the modern world. Americans are the epicenter of self-worship, yet other countries follow close behind. There is nothing new under the sun, every nation that went to ruin did so because of their self-worship, i.e. their worship of gods other than the God of the Holy Bible. The self has replaced God, yet our modern world has created a self worship version of Christianity so people can play pretend and still have the world.

Pure Life Ministries is an excellent source for spiritual growth, yet beware, they do use new age Bible perversions. Their main focus is helping men get free from sexual sin. Pride is one of the main reasons why people are stuck in this sin, and why any of us fall for this sin. We might be able to see pride in younger people or unbelieving hedonists/pagans, yet how much can we find in ourselves as sincere born again Christians who are not young or unbelieving? Hope this blesses you, may Jesus strengthen us to follow Him more closely and more truly.

Watch "Ellen G. White: Prophet or Pretender?" Full-length Documentary

2022-05-04T20:24:00.005-07:00

My investigation into the 7th Day Adventist Church continues and it is swaying toward believing Ellen was a messenger for God's people in the last days. I've looked at both sides with Ellen and see valid points for both, yet the many visions she had that were observed by others, even skeptics, are hard to explain away. Anyone honest must conclude she was a wonderful woman of God who was a gifted writer and arranger of writings, one of the most prolific of all time, esp. for women, something to note, considering how she isn't renown by the world, not even mentioned except with disdain and ridicule.

Believing that Ellen was a true believer and a messenger of God goes a long way to helping people believe in Historicism, the health message, the Sabbath, and the state of the dead. These are all good things; one must also believe in the sanctuary doctrine, the investigative judgment to explain the 1844 false understanding of a literal coming of Jesus Christ when it was talking about Jesus going into the Most Holy place to begin the investigative judgment, or the prolonged day of atonement. This is where we are now, in addition to around the 6th vial in Revelation, we are in the end of the end times, Daniel's 70th week was already fulfilled, there is no indefinite gap of time between the 69th and 70th week as the Jesuits created to get Protestants to eventually believe in Futurism -- a future AntiChrist means he isn't here now sitting in the Vatican, the Papacy that is.

For now, just watch the video and try to balance your view of what this church was all about; discern for yourself the reality of what happened and what the Holy Bible really says. My experience with SDA church is they are the last standing true Protestant Church left when it comes to formal denominations (those outside the General Council, mostly, are the best SDA ministries and the ones where true Protestantism can be found), which says something when the true AntiChrist is ruling the world from the shadows of his Beast system, playing humanity with deception and fooling the Protestant world after degrading them into a reprobate mind. What would Ellen say today? These are interesting times brothers and sisters in Jesus, let us always meditate upon the Word of God and believe in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ and Messiah. Until next time, enjoy.

The Lowdown Truth #29: Lukewarm American Christianity

Get the mp3 at Spreaker

This recording was done on December 3, 2021 during the “dark winter” months when the coronavirus hoax continues to push the insane mania over the seasonal flu, in order to push us as far left as possible so we can snap back with the right-wing backlash soon to come (starting midterms next year); also, so they can inject as many ignorant and innocent people as possible with their experimental gene therapy transhuman depopulation shot.

Revelation 3:15-17 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

What is it going to take to get people to believe in Jesus Christ in sincerity, in the Holy Bible in its inspired versions? What will it take to get Futurist Christians to stop believing in a doctrine that was created by a Jesuit as part of the counter-reformation — maybe when this false end times prophetic doctrine doesn’t come true, then they will believe in Historicism as the true alternative.

Ultimately, American Christianity has a huge problem with trying to love the world and God at the same time. The hypocrisy, the lukewarm faith, and the indifference to the truth are what define mainstream American Christianity. There will come a time when only true, sincere Christians will claim the name of Jesus Christ, and then we will see who really believes and who is simply fooling themselves and others like them.

First though, the Vatican-led NWO will leverage and exploit this lukewarmness, as God uses them to spue them out of his mouth, as the coming age of prosperity works to manifest the false Christians with the biggest deception to date, the Futurist play to come.

The Rising Protest Ch. 2: True History

2021-09-05T09:52:00.003-07:00

Burning those who disagree with the AntiChrist Power

Chapter 2: True History

The old adage "history is written by the victors" applies to our modern world, as Jesuit universities set the standard for education, including American and world history. This is convenient for the AntiChrist Papacy, as it allows them to hide the truth of history to new generations of brainwashed Americans, replacing it with one favorable to their agenda and satanic cause.

When a truth seeker realizes that history has been changed and repressed, they open the flood gates of truthful history which creates no mystery of the reality of our present world. In fact, the answers it uncovers bring shocking clarity to our present current events and situations in modern America. Whether this relates to the Presidential selection, foreign policy, moral issues, immigration, or even the controlled opposition line -- history reveals the reality of our present world.

While the methods and extent of the brainwashing agenda upon us are massive and supernaturally driven, they are also simple to understand once a person washes away the lies and deceptions of history and our present reality. No, it isn't easy for people to get to this point of clarity, yet this is because of social pressures more than the availability of evidence. In other words, people want to fit in with the majority and be "successful" in this world of lies more than they want to know the truth of history and our present reality.

To know the truth of history is to know the enemy of our souls, that is the AntiChrist Papacy, the Vatican, and the Roman Catholic Institution. This might sound too simple to believe, especially now that these powers have taken the posture of being a benign religious order instead of a divine ruler of nations with an iron fist. Now, instead of showing themselves to be our enemy as a tyrant with no accountability, they pretend to be pious while having proxy powers do their dirty work -- such as secret societies, Papal court Jews, cultural icons, and politicians. When you control the money (central banks) in the world, everything else conforms to your will, so it isn't hard to see how the AntiChrist has taken power back from the Protestant Reformation.

The more educated a person is in our current Catholic educational system, the more they scorn any history that shows the AntiChrist and his church in an unfavorable light. This is why the supermajority of Americans disbelief the true history of humanity while embracing the false history which if accepted brings social and economic gain. Essentially, knowing and sharing the truth of history will get a person blacklisted from every organization that subscribes to the hidden Catholic agenda, which today means nearly every business or organization in America and especially every influential one.

Fools are fooled easily, which is why American culture honors the fool. Ever notice how everyone wants to be the joker? When I was a taxicab driver at night in a college town, I observed how the main goal for everyone was to crack a joke, to be the joker. Being funny is something even not funny people aspire to be in a land full of fools and idiots, yet being wise is something only sought after for power over others, not for the sake of being wise and knowing the truth. Essentially, the main goal is to gratify and pump up yourself, not analyze and know the truth about oneself. How can a person be interested in other people not even alive when they are only interested in themselves? Is there no higher purpose for the modern man but to obsess about themselves? Is there nothing to learn outside of themselves that is worth investigating and seeking after?

True history to those interested in searching it out is well worth the effort, as it uncovers what no man or organization can gainsay or deny. True history is found in the remnants of repressed books by Protestants and those believers during the church being in the wilderness for 1260 years of the Papal power's formal reign. That these books are still available in some of the hidden corners of our retail outlets shows the 1st Protestant Reformation is still working to give us our liberty even today as it is fading away like a puff of smoke.

The 2nd Protestant Reformation will come to life when those masses of Futurist (Jesuit created doctrine) believers finally see through the charade and know true history once again. Right now, our eyes are blind to seeing the Papal power as the AntiChrist, yet the spell will be broken and fade away when the lie can no longer sustain the deception so desired by the wicked.

Imagine, the true history of the last 1500 years is available to anyone who wants to know, yet hardly anyone wants to know. Those millions of people who have come and gone, as they thought about a time like now when people would look back at history and acknowledge what they went through. Yet, here we are, in the end of time, with all the information about history and hardly anyone cares to look. That is how brainwashed we are, to think the past has nothing to offer...all of our brothers and sisters who suffered so we could have what we have and all we do is forget about them and the past, which is turning out to be our worst mistake as modern humans.

The Rising Protest Ch.1: In the Beginning

2021-05-29T20:45:00.003-07:00

Burning those who disagree with the AntiChrist power

Chapter 1: In the Beginning

In the beginning, nearly 6000 years ago, humans ate the forbidden fruit and cursed ourselves and the world we have dominion over with sin and death. Disobedience always leads to sin and death, unless a savior intervenes and takes our punishment for us. This is what our Lord and Savior did nearly 2000 years ago, His sinless blood covering our sins; he died and rose again on the third day, to then commune with the disciples for 40 days until His ascension into heaven. The angels who were there after he went up into heaven said he would return the same way. Jesus is coming back to judge the world in righteousness and truth.

Until then, we have to deal with lies upon lies and tribulations, as in this world we will have tribulation. The erroneous thoughts of finding our treasure here in this temporary cursed existence have caused many a human to fall to temptations and the eventual destruction of their souls in the lake of fire. There is a remnant left, yet they are few and far between in this land of confusion and delusion.

The people of the television, the people of the lies are convinced in their rationalizations of the world being run by good people with our best intentions in mind -- like becoming robots that obey orders of evil and that defy common sense.

In the beginning of the modern brainwashing efforts (since after the federal reserve was created in 1913 specifically) there has been a concerted effort of the workers of iniquity to create a system of universal control and domination to their agenda. Just so happens to be they believe in Satan, as their deeds tell those who happen to hear or see the truth among the fields of lies, censorship, and coverups.

The 2nd protest against the AntiChrist power must be the final conclusion to this wicked tyranny coming at us in the form of a sheep, an innocent old man (Pope). The enemy always works to deceive us into thinking they are good and innocent, when in fact they are evil and guilty of unspeakable acts of cruelty and horror.

The average person can't conceive of the truth of our present reality, although it is easy to understand when one can accept the conclusions set forth in the Bible, namely, the AntiChrist is the Papacy and Mystery Babylon is the Roman Catholic Institution, as well as there is a conspiracy against the Lord and his anointed (Pslams Ch.2). When we know the source of the confusion and lies then we can combat it with our awareness and discernment. Otherwise, we are sitting ducks or easy targets, even helpful aids to the enemy of our souls and God.

The protest has more to do than exposing the AntiChrist, it has to do with connecting people to the truth of the Word of God, as it pertains to their salvation, growth as a Christian, and their spiritual warfare. As a good soldier of Christ Jesus, the saints can be effective in the battle for human souls by having the true knowledge of our reality, past, present, and future, in as much as the Lord shows us through His Word.

In other words, this battle includes aspects of our daily living, our choices, our thoughts, and the holistic societal influences we are facing in this strange time we live in. The future generations are going to wonder more than ever what is the truth among such an ironclad environment of lies around them. Without true history at their disposal, without wise older people to teach them, and without the fear of God that brings knowledge, the people will be in darkness nearly completely. God won't allow the truth to be extinguished though, this much is true; there will be a remnant of people who hold true to God's word and the truth in their everyday lives. They will remain honest people free from the shackles of lies and confusion, albeit persecuted and scorned for their integrity and honest pursuit of the truth.

What is the meaning of life? To survive at all cost? Well, we then fail miserably my fellow humans, for we all perish from this temporary existence; thankfully, for those who believe and are part of Jesus Christ, we will have eternal life, not because we are sinless, but because we confessed our sins, repented, and believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, for He alone is sinless.

It is true, in this world you will have tribulation. Trying to avoid this and pretend there is nothing wrong isn't going to work very well. It's like a bird sticking his head in the sand to escape the enemy predators. The closer a person gets to the truth, the more tribulation they will have, although they will also live a meaningful and purposeful life. They will have blessed assurance of their salvation when they are dying, in fact, they will in a sense be ready to leave this troubled world to be in a much better place we can only hope and have faith to see down in this existence.

The rising protest is a natural occurrence or outcome to combat the lies and efforts of the enemy. Once the lies are seen through, those who are saved yet deceived into Futurism and other Catholic doctrines will finally see clearly who is the enemy causing so much damage. Those who saw it before were ridiculed and destroyed in front of the deceived Christians, but now they will become the ridiculed and targeted for destruction Christian they saw the others become in the process of their persecution by the Beast system and wicked AntiChrist power. Tony Alamo, Alberto Rivera, General Patton, Abraham Lincoln, JFK and many many others (sinners and saints) who dared challenge the great Beast power and their evil agenda of lies and hate.

The rising 2nd Protestant Reformation doesn't seem plausible as they have yet to play out their Jesuit-created Futurist eschatology, yet the Word of God explains how Mystery Babylon will be destroyed by the Beast she is riding (Revelation Ch.18), the Holy Roman Empire from my understanding.

Historicism, the correct Protestant understanding of prophecy will become the prevailing doctrine once the lies of Futurism are uncovered after their failed plots come to pass. Yet, honestly, the deception is going to get so crazy, no one will understand what is happening except for those faithful who found the truth through the Holy Bible, history, and God's help.

After the destruction from lies becomes inescapable in America and the world, many people silent now will start demanding answers and seeking truth. This will lead to a growing understanding of the true prophetical interpretation of Historicism, which explains the past, present, and future in details ignored on purpose by the Jesuit masters of today's evangelicalism.

Until then, those who know the truth and stand by the convictions it brings through many proofs and facts will be lonely people indeed. Most people aren't willing to follow the evidence where it leads, most aren't willing to depart from the masses of ignorant fools being led astray. The price of loneliness, being misunderstood and enduring many persecutions, even and especially from family members and friends, will refine those who love the truth into soldiers and servants of God that can endure hardness.

God will work out the details. Yes, it is a mind warp dealing with such oppressed and hidden truths; one may ask, can this be true? Over and over it needs to be validated as we go through life among the brainwashed populace. There is a famine in the land for the truth, for the Word of God understood. People are perishing because of this famine more than a real famine with food.

The most important thing to me is to know when I pass from this world, that Jesus Christ is there to take me to be with Him in heaven. That is the assurance I need to get by each and every day in this cursed world full of sin, death, lies, and confusion.

Two Thousand Years of Wicked Cycles

2021-02-10T20:32:00.001-08:00

Meanwhile at the Vatican, the AntiChrist sits on his throne.

The entire history of mankind has been molded by opposing forces at war, the manifestation of the war within our cursed with sin and death human souls. The one with the present upper hand will have the majority of the people believing their version of things, including the history of mankind. As of now, we have the enemy of humanity in the majority once again in the form of the AntiChrist system, same as before yet in modern form, sometimes antiquated wickedness as well.

The Roman Catholic Institution is at it again dear liberty-loving Protestants. I would advise you to garner up all the protest you have left in you and start to resist the Papal power like our heritage did throughout the dark ages of the AntiChrist’s formal reign and after.

Let us join once again to this worthy cause before us, as the enemy has slipped in like a flood and threatens to destroy all that is good and Godly. In Jesus Christ’s name, let us go forth against the Papal power that controls these worldly plots and plans, and proclaim our allegiance to the Bible and the Bible alone for our doctrine and faith, right Martin Luther? Yes!

What fellowship hath light with darkness dear Protestants?

Does it matter if it is Catholic or Islam, they are both from the same father of lies, as there is no truth in them. Would we unite with the Muslims? Hardly. Then why are we so quick to unite with the Catholics who created and manipulate the Muslim religion Islam?

Seen in the bigger picture, the world is in the same condition it has been since Jesus Christ was crucified and rose from the dead on the third day, to now reign on the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf until he comes again and judges the earth with fire and takes away his people to a place of safety and love.

The last two thousand years have been the end times spoken of in the Bible, as the Devil knows his time is short after Jesus rose from the dead and now reigns supreme in heaven and on Earth in the Spiritual realm. I can’t tell you the details on how it all works out, just that God wins and Satan and his fallen angels want to curse our human souls to destruction in hell and the lake of fire with them.

Already, Satan has caused this curse to come upon us with our agreement, unfortunately, then he wants us to give up eternal life with Father God and Jesus for the destruction of our souls after the torments of the separation from our Creator and giver of life and love? No thanks.

If humans demand to be separated with our words and actions, can a loving God make them obey and love Him back? Jesus of Nazareth the Christ came and died for our sins, rising from the grave the third day to ever sit on the right hand of the Father as a mediator for those who believe in him. Thank you Jesus, forgive me for all known and unknown sins and align me to your will.

Most of the life around us is carnal, as the people around us are thinking and acting carnally in their lives, whether through a screen, in actuality, or both. Few people are walking in the spiritual realm, and even fewer of those are walking in the Holy Spirit as children of God. The others that are walking in the spiritual realm are the knowingly wicked workers of iniquity, as least those who have eyes to see in that realm – new age spiritualist are guided and deceived by evil spirits, but Satanist and Luciferians know who they serve consciously.

John Ramirez is a good source to learn about the dark and light side of the spiritual realm, as he was a high-level Satanist and has since come powerfully to be a follower of Jesus Christ, the Word of God.

Most people are living carnally (est. 90%) and some people are living spiritually (10%), yet there are varying degrees within these depending on the individual and their relationship with God or the dark side, etc. Basically, most people are generally apathetic towards being a person who is spiritual, rather, they are interested in carnal things like money, materials, sex, work, sports, pleasure, etc. Things that please the senses and this temporary fleshly body cursed and tempted by sin.

The special opts in the polar opposite sides of Satanism vs. Christianity are those who can see each other within the crowd and populations. They are aware of each others’ presence even when in a large company of people, as either wicked or good. While others can’t perceive exactly the guile and darkness in the Satanist, nor the light and goodness in the Christian, these opposing special opts see each other plainly.

See, the battle is for those people in the middle, the most of people. They are the ones this article needs to reach, as well as those on the Christian side who want to help fight the good fight with me and the Christian remnant. The battle is for those who are walking in the carnal realm, yet intrinsically want to walk in the spiritual realm of the Holy Spirit. They need someone to help them realize what they knew all along, someone to come and strengthen their resolve and clarify their positions with the God of Creation. We lay people can do this task by talking to those people God puts around us in our daily lives. For example, be a good witness for the truth, don’t wear the facemasks that harm and subjugate us to wicked rulers of evil and their big lie, wear a shield if have to and talk to people about the truth of the #coronavirushoax — even with their mask on people are still listening.

People are looking for answers. Just wait a while to tell them about the topics that have trigger words planted within the social engineering program from the enemy…start with Jesus and the Gospel, then the many hidden truths about our world and humanity. If each of us can do a little to sway people to the Light and Truth of Jesus Christ, then we are fighting a good fight and pushing the enemy back.

This is a spiritual war fellow Christians just as it has been for our Protestant brethren of yesteryear, as well as the apostolic church in the wilderness those 1260 years of the AntiChrist Papacy’s reign of terror and woe, and before then through the onslaught from the pagan Roman Empire. Ever since our Lord died and rose again have Christians been the number one target for the enemy, and we are coming to the final conclusions even now.

I’ll tell you this, the oppressors now are really those who are oppressed by their cruel taskmaster Satan. They are already receiving their just reward as recompense, as their minds slowly slip into insanity and they forget any goodness they once knew, all for the chance to be someone important and have power in this world as a huge fake perverse coward. Many Governors and congressmen come to mind. Nobody likes these types of people, even though they act like they do for money and favor – these people are unlikeable at the core and are the loneliest most miserable people alive deep down in their vacant dark hearts.

Two thousand years of end times tactics by an angry and wrathful creature that is doomed for destruction and damnation forever. Satan’s days are numbered and he is full of wrath for humans because we are made in the image of God and have the chance to be with God forever in blissful eternity. God is love and life. Satan is hatred and death. Which will you choose?

Proverbs 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Tell me, do the people in the serpent building in the article’s picture love death or life?

If death, then they worship their father, the father of lies, i.e. Satan.
