Why Bother Reading This Article?

Jesus said, speaking about the last days, “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11). False prophets speaking on the news channels, social media, and political platforms have clearly deceived many to the point where everyone has their own opinions. The various opinions are ripping this nation and the West apart pitting one person against another in open hostility. This has gotten so bad that they have set up government agencies, organizations, and apps to deal with false and deceptive claims. It’s gotten to the point where most of us, of the faithful remnant, may scan the headlines, but then will spend the remainder of the day in prayer listening only to God. Most of us would rather say nothing than spreading a lie, propaganda, or a false prophecy. This deception and conspiracy theories have gotten so bad that it has adversely affected God’s children by leading them further away from trusting in God exclusively. It has gotten so bad that the words of Jesus are being fulfilled in our day that says, “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another” (Matthew 24:10). Of course this hatred will lead to total chaos, which has already invaded our country.

So, what does God want to say to His children living in the Last Days? Most people reading this article will not stop listening to others on their news feeds, social media platforms, and their political leaders. I believe that God’s counsel for those living in the last days is to surround themselves with the faithful remnant and have a high degree of discernment when listening to or reading what others are saying in the world. The church, at one time, was a place to find only the faithful remnant with preachers, who only spoke directly from God’s Holy Word without all the meaningless stories and godless illustrations. Without the true church of God to help God’s children it will be all that more difficult to discern the truth from error, but not impossible. With the Spirit of God dwelling in us, nothing is impossible. Let’s take it from the top. The Spirit of God always begins by writing the Words from the Holy Bible onto our hearts. You cannot skip this step, without God’s Words written on our hearts we will never have proper discernment. Every time a word, a phrase, and a Scripture text is written on our hearts it will bring forth life-changing conviction. Every time His Words change our life it will be firmly planted in our hearts to be brought back to our memories by the indwelling Spirit when needed.

Everyone who calls on the Name of Christ should experience this wonderful and amazing ability to instantly recall God’s word to their memory in a time of need to make the proper discernment. The question that must be asked is, “Does this new information align with God’s truth.” If we don’t have God’s truth implanted in our hearts, then we will never be able to answer this question. This is only the first step in proper discernment. The second step gets much more difficult. Does this new information consider the larger picture of God’s truth and His prophetic timeline? Let us digress for a moment, which helps us to align things with God’s prophetic timeline. Christians living in the West have become way too comfortable as they adopt the latest cultural norms where everyone and every teaching is openly accepted. Tolerance is so engrained into Western society that it would be an anathema to think otherwise. This freedom to openly express our own opinions and beliefs has driven an even deeper wedge into society caused in large part by the many different social media platforms. This divergence of beliefs and opinions has created chaos and a growing number of conspiracy theories along with every false prophecy.

So, what does the Bible say about this time we’re living in, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake” (Matthew 24:9). Although we hear a lot about the East against the West or the so-called civilized world against the terrorist, we are not yet hearing much about the faithful remnant rejecting all the godless teachings from the world. We will. We are on the verge of the faithful remnant coming out from among them, contrary to the country they’re living in, saying, “Enough is enough.” This will come to pass when God’s children begin to discern the truth from the lie. Yes, when we do, then we will be hated and shunned by the entire world which no longer wants to hear what we believe. They will no longer want to hear about Jesus and His loving message of peace and reconciliation. The Western world just wants to hear about war and retribution, to stand against the hordes from the East and everyone else who disagrees with their democratic principles that accept every godless perversion. When we stand against the world by believing in the exclusiveness of Christianity as the only way, and the sufficiency of God’s truth in the Bible for all of life, they will hate us.

These truths will give us proper discernment and will also become a red flag when someone preaches a lie, a conspiracy theory, or a false prophecy. These red flags should cause us to close our ears and reject everything that is being said. The first red flag is, “Does the new information disagree with the exclusiveness of Christianity?” Much of what we hear in the world today is a mixture of religious beliefs passed on as the truth, but in reality, most of it contradicts God’s truth in the Bible causing greater confusion and hindering our transformation in Christ. The second red flag is, “Does this new information disagree with the sufficiency of Scripture?” Much of what we hear in the world today is false information from scientists, medical practitioners, psychiatrists, and modern-day philosophers on what will give us a better life, but in reality, it often causes us not to trust in God exclusively who has given us everything we need for life and godliness (II Peter 1:3). The next red flag is, “does this new information draw us closer to the Lord with peace and tranquility or does it create greater confusion with increasing anxiety?” The devil only wants to create panic and chaos causing you to believe the most unnatural things, things even against simple logic. Another red flag is, “Does this new information come from a very immoral or prideful person accused of great crimes and lawlessness?” This should be a given, but then we are living in a different day that easily overlooks the trespass for some greater good.

The greatest red flag, however, is “Is the indwelling Spirit who is grieved creating a sense of uneasiness or extreme doubt to its relevance?” If it does, then why do we believe the lie creating greater confusion in our hearts? Finally, the powers of darkness are experts at filling our minds with a tremendous amount of information to process causing most to be overwhelmed with minute details and missing the big picture. What Russia and Hamas are doing is horrible breaking our hearts and causing us to cry, but let’s not miss the big picture. Prophetically speaking, God will allow the Eastern powers to ruthlessly come against the West in the last days, which will eventually destroy modern-day Babylon, America, for their wholesale rejection of God (Revelation 18). We cannot miss the big picture but keep speaking the truth that Western democracy has allowed every perversion to flourish as they set their people up to be controlled by the coming Antichrist and his image, artificial general intelligence (AGI) (Revelation 13:15). Discernment is absolutely essential in the last days to keep us on the right path and focused only on the truth. Remember, the words of Jesus, only the truth will set us free, whereas, we know from experience, that lies will create the worst kind of bondage. It is my greatest desire to only speak the truth, which will help God’s beloved children to continue their transformation in Christ becoming all they were created to be. This will only happen if we have great discernment by only embracing the truth, rejecting the lies, the conspiracy theories, the hidden propaganda, and the false prophecies.

Oh, Lord, I pray for a special blessing for those who have bothered to read this article and that you will fill them with great discernment. Amen

Please Join me in Prayer,

Good Morning Heavenly Father. They say, “Fear is our worst enemy.” There is probably no truer saying than today when so many things are happening in a world gone mad. We as a nation have lost our ability to govern. The COVID virus is raising its ugly head once again casting many in hospital. You, Oh Lord, had told us of the psychiatric epidemic in the first woe, the Islamic invasion in the second woe, and the increase in many so-called natural disasters in the bowls of your wrath poured upon an unrepentant world. Now, everything seems to be coming to a head with Russia invading Europe and the Islamic proxy wars against the nation of Israel. As the Eastern nations begin to coalesce against the West and temperature continue to rise fear has gripped the world. We call upon you, Oh Lord, to calm your people down causing them to focus on what makes them different from the fallen world. Help them to truly love others more than they love themselves by allowing your magnificent love to flow through them to even their enemies. We pray that our love will cast out all fear allowing us to bravely stand against the evil invading our world. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” (I John 4:18).

Watchman on the Wall – Hell is at the Gates

Most of humanity is meandering toward hell and are completely oblivious about what they are doing. Most Christians have locked up the Book of Revelation, seeing it as only a future prophecy with no relevance for the modern world. On the other hand, there is a segment of Christians who believe that all the prophecies in the Book of Revelation have already been fulfilled with the reign of the Caesars, the persecution of Christians, and the world empire of ancient Rome, seen as Babylon the Great. For many years, I have believed that the Revelation is relevant for every period from the First Century until Christ returns in glory just before the end of the world to rapture up His children and usher them into eternal glory. I have written many articles on every plague, woe, and the bowls of God’s wrath in the Revelation to demonstrate their relevancy for each period throughout Christian history. I have written about the first woe (Revelation 9:1-11), “The Silent Pandemic of Mental Illness” and the second woe (Revelation 9:12-21), “The Muslim Invasion” that has adversely affected humanity. If we open our spiritual eyes, we can clearly see that the trumpets and the bowls of God’s wrath have taken place in the past, in our current day, and soon to take place. The Book of Revelation is dynamic for all of Christian history and was never written to be static for just one period in time. Although each Christian epoch was written as if it were the last, I firmly believe that hell is at the gates, and I am compelled to give one last warning to Christians living now.

Seven Lies of the Devil – Part II

To miss what is going on in the world, we would need to be living in a bubble. Of course, as believers, we knew that this day would come when the whole world seems to be falling apart from horrific firestorms to unbelievably extreme temperatures and from unchecked lawlessness to the grossest of sexual perversions. Perhaps the worst for the true believer is to see so many fall away and embrace all the lies of the devil as if they were the gospel truth. It is enough to make you weep in great agony.

We Can Make Things Better

Perhaps the most dangerous lie is that we can make the world better through the political process. This has been a lie used many times throughout history raising up the Caesars, Napoleons, and Hitler’s promising to make things better, but in the end creating a cult-like mentality, which brought death and destruction to the world. This thinking of making things better through the political process is antithetical to the Way presented by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus Christ came to earth to show us a better way of truly making things better. The Christian way is through transformational change one person at a time. The heart and mind must be changed by putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ. The devil cares only about manipulating your heart and mind to believe his lies thus creating a cult-like mentality. He wants you to believe that forcing everyone through his new laws will cause them to align with his way, or your way of thinking, which will overcome the divisions, and establish a brave new world. This is a very dangerous and deceptive lie of the devil that will ingeniously target religious people who will be willing to follow him to hell and back. They will even proclaim him as some kind of saint or savior that will deliver the world from very evil and corrupt people. They may even proclaim that God has raised him to fix the world through the political process. Stop listening to the devil who can even disguise himself as an angel of light (II Corinthians 11:14). This will be the path that the dreaded Antichrist will take causing you to believe that he has your best interest at heart. This deception will be so strong that people will freely worship him as the savior of humanity believing that he alone will stop the wars, the outrageous lawlessness, and even the wrath of God as we had discussed earlier. Let’s stop listening to the devil’s lies and return to God’s way of real lasting change. Continue reading Seven Lies of the Devil – Part II

Glorify God in the Coming Judgment

God is glorified for many things, but we don’t often think about God being glorified in His righteous judgment coming now upon the earth. God since the beginning has always been glorified when His chosen people followed the path that was laid out for them in loving obedience to His commandments. The Bible says, “Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified” (Isiah 60:21). God brought forth His commandments to show them the path of righteousness and the branch of His planting. This branch looked forward to the salvation of the whole world, a people in distant lands walking in righteousness to the glory of God. God’s work was the gift of His beloved Son to make propitiation for the sins of humanity (I John 2:2). God’s work was the glorious transformation of fallen humanity in Christ by putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ (II Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:22-24). Furthermore, the God of creation would be glorified as His beloved children would let their light shine through their good works (Matthew 5:16). In time, they would also learn how to glorify God in their body and in their Spirit, which are God’s (I Corinthians 6:20). This would only be the beginning of a deeper journey of glorifying God in every situation including the coming judgment. Continue reading Glorify God in the Coming Judgment

Repent Now or be Destroyed! A Prophecy for America

When the whole world turned away from trusting in God exclusively for their entire life, then a very dark cloud covered the planet. Allergies, environmental toxins, viruses, and pathogens are only the tip of the iceberg. The infighting, the corruption, and the rising crime rate are only symptoms of a much larger problem. What’s hanging over the world is much worse. Satan and the powers of darkness will increase their stranglehold on humanity by leading them to stumble into or embrace every manner of sin. We are like a runaway train with no way to stop it as the entire world races into the darkness and eventual annihilation. Most of America is on the precipice of sinning nearly every day because of the dark days in which we live. Does the prospect of sinning against God horrify you? The powers of darkness have already overshadowed this whole land bringing forth every detestable perversion. Abortion on demand has destroyed countless children before they can draw their first breath. The powers of darkness have reached into future generations by requiring all children to attend public schools knowing full well that they are like a blank piece of paper prone to receive everything they are taught as the gospel truth. Satan knows that this is the best place to indoctrinate our children with their latest previsions, leading them to turn away from their God and even their parents. Open our eyes to recognize the darkness overshadowing our world. Continue reading Repent Now or be Destroyed! A Prophecy for America
