Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice. So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him!”<br /><br />But the Lord said to Samuel, <b><u>“Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”</u></b><br /><br />I can tell you from my own life, that if your heart is hard for whatever the reason, it will keep you from truly loving anybody, even your own self! A hard heart will also keep you from receiving love from others as well. Eveything will just be 'meh', and 'whatever', when people do their best to love you and help you. <br /><div><br /></div><div>Jesus said that out of the heart the mouth speaks!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Matthew 12:33-35</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? <b><u>For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things."</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Matthew 15:16-19</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? <b><u>But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies."</u></b><br /><br />Jesus made it so clear for us to understand how important it is to have a clean and pure heart!<div><br /></div><div>"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!"</div><div><div><br /></div><div>In Christ,</div><div>Tyrone</div><div><br /></div></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-25599263112229239452024-03-16T14:18:00.002-05:002024-03-16T14:25:23.349-05:00No Man Can Come To Me!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWPtAnQs7FL6obqzuN7z_ubSP7iGLJTBXbRPeOnbZkTDKEaKPlQ-gRHblwz6giP5PUUcnkLAAVw8lOHbi8SQWJnYs3JSYRGPMSKLENAMHdaFwx2k_pSyo4u78KxV9R7nLvHaZP1krV0XfRtyBVyC_DKJX1YfBQAPknEk_Vc1aUgsSs-Q3-GNuHdnFbQk/s3000/Drawn%20By%20The%20father.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="3000" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWPtAnQs7FL6obqzuN7z_ubSP7iGLJTBXbRPeOnbZkTDKEaKPlQ-gRHblwz6giP5PUUcnkLAAVw8lOHbi8SQWJnYs3JSYRGPMSKLENAMHdaFwx2k_pSyo4u78KxV9R7nLvHaZP1krV0XfRtyBVyC_DKJX1YfBQAPknEk_Vc1aUgsSs-Q3-GNuHdnFbQk/w413-h353/Drawn%20By%20The%20father.jpeg" width="413" /></a></div><br /><p></p><b><u>John 6:41-44, 64-65<br /></u></b><br />"The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. <b><u>No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day."</u></b><div><br /></div>"But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. <b><u>And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”<br /></u></b><div><br /></div><div>I can remember when I was drawn by God to my wife. We met on Christian Cupid dot com, when it was still a bit taboo to meet someone online, let alone date them. How fast times have changed right? Now if you're not on the internet you're seen as strange! </div><div><br /></div><div>It's amazing to me how some people can see the light and others can not. Some feel led to change their lives and be different, others feel the same leading but don't respond to it. They turn their backs on God, they blank out and walk away, and many don't feel anything at all!</div><div><br /></div><div>Those who do come to Christ always have a testimony of what God did for them, how he drew them to Himself, or what they were doing when something happened they couldn't explain. Many cry out to God and say, 'God if you are real then do this or that and I will believe.' </div><div><br /></div><div>The first disciples Jesus called were drawn to Him because it was granted to them by the Father in Heaven!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Matthew 4:18-22</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. <b><u><i>Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him.</i></u></b> Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. <b><i><u>He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him."</u></i></b><br /><br />How is it possible that Jesus being a total stranger to these four fishermen, could call them out of their jobs, their family, their lifestyles, and they listened! The scriptures tell us that the four men <b>IMMEDIATELY</b> left their nets, their boats, their jobs, even their own father and followed Jesus!<div><br /></div><div>That is a perfect example of what it means to be drawn by God!</div><div><br /></div><div>The same thing happened when John the baptist started calling the people to repentance. The scriptures say that people came from all around to be baptized by John. How was that possible, John being another total stranger coming out of the desert?</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Mark 1:1-8</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.” “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.’ ”<div><br /></div><div><b><i><u>John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins."</u></i></b><br /><br />People of the whole land of Judea and Jerusalem went out to him! And then they got baptized and while they were being baptized, they were confessing their sins, outloud! No secret chambers, no priest in a box, no church building! The people were out in the open air confessing their sins and getting baptized by John in the Jordan River!! That's what you call a supernatural drawing and manifestation of the power of God working through His prophet!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Something similar happened to Paul too when he was preaching.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Acts 16:11-15</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days. And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. <b><u><i>Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.</i></u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>You see that the Lord had to <b>OPEN THE HEART </b>of Lydia so that she could listen to what paul was saying! The word of God being spoken through His anointed and appointed is spiritual, it can't be understood by those with carnal minds and hard hearts! </div><div><br /></div><div>What about the other women who were there? We see that God only opened the heart of Lydia to understand Paul's message, and then she and her whole household were baptized! The ways of God and His choosing is beyond our understanding, only He knows the hearts of all men!</div><div><br /></div><div>This is why it's so important to pray for the Father to open your heart, and your mind so that you can be drawn to Christ and receive Him when He comes to visit you!</div><div><br /></div><div>In The Lord's Army,</div><div>Tyrone</div><div><br /></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-91356344526269893692024-03-11T13:21:00.002-05:002024-03-11T16:10:08.445-05:00The Time Of Hirelings And Hypocrites Is Ending!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEituEeL-Iu5BWRZmOaaVfv5lvEWTr_PEnMlSjO8muAkJnb-G9XkmvF_SQPS4G5XuQX52aAuKcmLg5PAFMOmljVBehL22i5yt-XjDs3pxvTM57A6jxUxNCGdRRnYLvyE_Cp32ekgz2mTAsndoI2oc-Mw_oN6KLgJXX2OoESEngorVoj3jX_YV6oFJETfAyI/s800/wolfsheep_800x500.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="800" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEituEeL-Iu5BWRZmOaaVfv5lvEWTr_PEnMlSjO8muAkJnb-G9XkmvF_SQPS4G5XuQX52aAuKcmLg5PAFMOmljVBehL22i5yt-XjDs3pxvTM57A6jxUxNCGdRRnYLvyE_Cp32ekgz2mTAsndoI2oc-Mw_oN6KLgJXX2OoESEngorVoj3jX_YV6oFJETfAyI/w313-h250/wolfsheep_800x500.png" width="313" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" dir="rtl" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZukcrWZIUIDT9uVBb4xcwutRw7BBhBr9CLMic1dTvYxDrjVxMoVPNfshT3uqFb_4883oHzFYMOnL0QQUG9fuGW1UsBXF4-f9txIEFQUzxsWtwt9CiqChe6UfL48ja0HzxL67odVAU3LqYE8uwZzI-h_3szrAYOX7y1qoSi7yEQMKq_-ly-gpoXmkp0I/s500/Hypocrites%20picture.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="333" data-original-width="500" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZukcrWZIUIDT9uVBb4xcwutRw7BBhBr9CLMic1dTvYxDrjVxMoVPNfshT3uqFb_4883oHzFYMOnL0QQUG9fuGW1UsBXF4-f9txIEFQUzxsWtwt9CiqChe6UfL48ja0HzxL67odVAU3LqYE8uwZzI-h_3szrAYOX7y1qoSi7yEQMKq_-ly-gpoXmkp0I/w312-h213/Hypocrites%20picture.jpg" width="312" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>God said my people perish for lack of knowledge! God's people also perish because of the lack of spiritual discernment too! But God allows all of this to happen to fulfill His word!<p></p><p>Paul said that there must be factions among you, so it can be revealed who is approved of God! And then Paul had to deal with false brethren and false Apostles too! This all happened two thousand years ago and the same thing is happening right now! History repeats itself, over and over.</p><p><b><u>1st Corinthians 11:17-19</u></b></p><p>"Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. <u style="font-weight: bold;">For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. <i>For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.</i></u><i>"</i></p><div><b><u>Galatians 2:1-5</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me. And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain. Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. <b><u><i>And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage), to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.</i></u></b></div><div><b><u><i><br /></i></u></b></div><div><b><u>2nd Corinthians 11:12-15</u></b></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><b><u>"But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. <i>For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."</i></u></b><div><br /></div><div>This is why I continue to say over and over, that the church building IS NOT THE CHURCH! If you have a group of witches inside a church building, what will the building be full of? EVIL and DARKNESS!</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have a church building full of true believers filled with the Spirit and Grace of God, what will you have? A building full of Light, God's presence, angels coming and going, people rejoicing and praising God!</div><div><br /></div><div>The same holds true for your own house! Your house is just a building, and if you are full of darkness and evil spirits, what will your house be full of? EVIL! Even though you cannot perceive it or feel it, because it's spiritual! Unless you actually practice witchcraft in your house, then you will most likely see the evil spirits manifesting!<br /><br />This is also why Jesus said beware of the wolve's in sheep's clothing! And the Hirelings, because many times they are the ones over the people! </div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Matthew 7:15-20</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>“<b><u>Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. </u></b>Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. <b><u>Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them."</u></b></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><b><u>John 10:11-13</u></b></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><b><u>“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep."</u></b><br /><br />So if you are sitting in a congregation that never grows, and there's no youth attending who are thriving and full of joy, you have to question the fruit of your leadership!<br /><br />The man or woman who thinks that being in Ministry is a job that pays their bills and supports their lifestyle is a hireling! And if you woke up one morning and felt led to go to school to be a Pastor, you need to question whether or not you are really in the faith! There is nowhere in scripture that you see any man or woman being led to an institution to learn how to be an Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, or Evangelist!<br /><br />No man, woman, college, online or physical, can ordain, anoint and appoint any soul to be in the ministry of God, but God!!!<br /><br /></div><div>It's Jesus, the Lord Himself who gives ministry gifts to His body for edification and building up!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Ephesians 4:7-16</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u><i>"But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” </i></u></b>(Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)</div><br /><b><u><i>And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love."</i></u></b><br /><div><br /></div><div>The scriptures in Ephesians 4 tells us what the real church should be! It tells us how God designed and desires His church (souls) to operate and function together as the body of Christ, in the midst of all the evil surrounding us everyday!</div><div><br /></div><div>Without unity, without the Spirit of God in every soul, and without the ministry gifts that Jesus gave to the church, what do we have? A congregation full of hirelings, hypocrites, and evil! </div><div><br /></div><div>As Disciples of Jesus we cannot escape this world or the evil that's in it, we must live and grow together with the tares until the final Harvest! The only thing we can do is trust our God and come out from among them and be separate in our hearts and minds!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Matthew 13:24-30</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>"Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, <i>‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”</i><br /></u></b><div><br /></div><div>The Lord Himself spoke to my wife and said, <b><u>"The Small Will Be Great, And The Great Will Disappear"</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>In Christ,</div><div>Tyrone</div><div><br /></div><br />Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-19058332537971514992024-03-09T00:31:00.001-06:002024-03-09T00:35:49.368-06:00Are You Kicking Against The Pricks?<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTm31GLpfb8QLKEbetd1qMuNr26q_HllZr7cxXKy6UGvLjg0xhwxelYQiDdmw5cw5XpIPSswn7w80eOgoTjNjTCmvQrjxyHE3pHie1fBWxKAXsWb-w7Su6PXCtXeu9qe_NcaCjtDA9WOXGraFwyD5GrUP9pp9_iv7fmPnlS0t4_-BvY79x2QTH00yV_Ww/s1920/Baptisms-Hard-To-Kick-Against-The-Pricks.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTm31GLpfb8QLKEbetd1qMuNr26q_HllZr7cxXKy6UGvLjg0xhwxelYQiDdmw5cw5XpIPSswn7w80eOgoTjNjTCmvQrjxyHE3pHie1fBWxKAXsWb-w7Su6PXCtXeu9qe_NcaCjtDA9WOXGraFwyD5GrUP9pp9_iv7fmPnlS0t4_-BvY79x2QTH00yV_Ww/w400-h225/Baptisms-Hard-To-Kick-Against-The-Pricks.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><b><u>Acts 9:1-6</u></b><br /><br />"Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

And nine times out of ten you will hear, "who are you to judge me? Jesus loved everybody!"</p><p>That is absolutely true! Jesus did love everyone! But everyone DID NOT love Jesus!</p><p>Why not you ask? Because Jesus told everyone about themselves, and testified to the world that it's works (deeds) were evil! And that IS Love!!!! Telling someone the truth about themselves and their sinful living IS loving them!!! </p><p>Ministers of the gospel are called and anointed to help people see the error of their ways so they can repent and be forgiven of their sins and come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ!</p><p>Jesus was hated by the Pharisees, Jews and the world because He preached against their hypocrisy, religion, sin, and traditions.</p><p><b><u>John 7:6-7</u></b></p><b><u>"Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil."</u></b><p>This is also why when Jesus began to preach He went around saying "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand." Repent means to change your mind and think differently, because if you think different, you will ACT different!</p><p>How did Jesus deal with people's sin you ask?</p><p><b><u>John 8:7-11</u></b></p>"So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, <b><u>“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” </u></b>And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, <b><u>“Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”</u></b><p>Jesus loved this woman who was caught in the act of adultery, but He didn't condemn her for it! The Pharisees were ready to stone her to death! Jesus dealt with her sin by telling her to go AND SIN NO MORE! Stop doing wrong, stop committing sinful acts! That is love!</p><p><b><u>John 5:12-14</u></b></p><p>"Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. <b><u>Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”</u></b></p><p>Jesus healed a man who had been cripple for thirty eight years, and afterwards told him to sin no more or something worse could happen to him. Jesus knew that the man was a sinner, but again He did not condemn the man, but healed him and later told him to stop sinning! That IS love!</p><p><b><u>John 15:18-25</u></b></p><b><u>“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. </u></b>Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also.<b><u> If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’"</u></b><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div>We know what ultimately happened to Jesus don't we? He was betrayed, falsely accused, taken into custody like a criminal, severely beaten, mocked, whipped, and hung on a cross with nails through His hands and feet. All this happened to Jesus because He spoke the truth to the religious leaders of the day and to the world.</div><div><br /></div><div>Do you think it would be any different today? <b>NO!</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Jesus even told His disciples/apostles that in the end times all nations will hate His future servants for His names sake!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>John 24:9-14</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. </u></b>And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."</div><div><br /></div><div>And after all the healings, miracles, signs and wonders that Jesus did amongst thousands of people in many cities, there was only one hundred and twenty disciples waiting for the Holy Spirit in the upper room in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yes Jesus did, and still does love everyone! But everyone will not love Him!</div><div><br /></div><div>In Christ,</div><div>Tyrone</div><div><br /></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-32976056324984706412023-12-18T12:57:00.003-06:002023-12-18T13:57:00.715-06:002024 The Year Of Worldwide Change?<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic7sgM4hCDpAuhHtObyi_15MOYHY9rmE5oNo-F4DJaucj5OzoCUzmZB7YoEKiIzVYcHWomyBgejmBcSuqHARvb7boId7ujBSg-ttwbVddX0qF5oc8uqPWMkVD80YY5OaGjmuDmE74VjeqZ05Q0T-GDlcUlV5NL7GVZ0Z0oRiHUuXUSAVWYWUcoMGFFvMc/s474/Israel%20Gaza%20War.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="266" data-original-width="474" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic7sgM4hCDpAuhHtObyi_15MOYHY9rmE5oNo-F4DJaucj5OzoCUzmZB7YoEKiIzVYcHWomyBgejmBcSuqHARvb7boId7ujBSg-ttwbVddX0qF5oc8uqPWMkVD80YY5OaGjmuDmE74VjeqZ05Q0T-GDlcUlV5NL7GVZ0Z0oRiHUuXUSAVWYWUcoMGFFvMc/w462-h280/Israel%20Gaza%20War.jpeg" width="462" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>With Israel and Palestine still at war, and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, vowing to eradicate Hamas, it seems there will be nothing left of the Palestine territory when the war finishes. </p><p>What will be the outcome of this war?

To really understand what God Himself did for His own creation is mind blowing! He caused a Virgin to be with child and formed a body for Himself to enter into His own creation as a human being!

When God breathed into the nostrils of the man He formed from the dust of the earth, that man turned from an inanimate creation, (like a statue) into a living being. He was now able to walk, talk, move around, think, feel and live! What a great and mighty God I serve! This is why Jesus said, <b><u>"With God Nothing Is Impossible!"</u></b></p><p>God breathed a portion of Himself into Adam! Jesus who was God manifested in the flesh, when He walked upon this earth said, "I AM The Way, The Truth, and <b><u>The LIFE!</u></b></p><p>The writer of Hebrews said this in <b><u>10:5-7</u></b></p>"Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, <b><u>But a body You have prepared for Me. </u></b>In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—In the volume of the book it is written of Me—To do Your will, O God.’ ”<br /><p>Jesus also said that those who believe in Him will not walk in darkness but will have the Light of Life! And <b><u>Jesus IS the LIGHT and LIFE!!!</u></b></p><p><b><u>John 8:12</u></b></p>"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me <b><u>shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”<br /></u></b><br />It's so wonderful to know that we can have God Himself living within our souls by His Spirit, to sanctify our body, wash our soul, and renew our spirit, so that we can be like Adam was when he first became a living being! <div><br /></div><div><b><u>1st Thessalonians 5:23</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. </u></b> He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it."<div><br /></div><div>In Jesus,</div><div>Tyrone<br /><div><br /></div></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-613702677112943262023-09-18T11:51:00.007-05:002023-09-18T12:04:14.868-05:00The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit (Discerning of Spirits)<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxGPVuqzl6OeKPjFe3dMYnQd1Q1oRtOhZC1ayA6cvOR1Ux6fzP6Ld9F4BpiyAfQkIjUQHSE2fHJVTwkzBOkco7FOXZYBiz6DaDyrG6Gb5DpyVxEUg-szvyNdiyPvu3o60tVXpktfuyb8nX1gZBudUVz43JKdy1_5e9uJWxoN81vELvPYSCnHEK2UoKEd4/s1280/Spirit%20and%20Fire.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxGPVuqzl6OeKPjFe3dMYnQd1Q1oRtOhZC1ayA6cvOR1Ux6fzP6Ld9F4BpiyAfQkIjUQHSE2fHJVTwkzBOkco7FOXZYBiz6DaDyrG6Gb5DpyVxEUg-szvyNdiyPvu3o60tVXpktfuyb8nX1gZBudUVz43JKdy1_5e9uJWxoN81vELvPYSCnHEK2UoKEd4/w400-h225/Spirit%20and%20Fire.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div><b><u>1st Corinthians 12:4-11</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills."<div><br /></div><div>It's very sad to hear when some religious leaders say there is no more baptism with the Holy Spirit, and the gifts of the Spirit have ceased. I wonder why they say that? Is it because they want to be in control of everything and exclude the workings of the Spirit of God in their congregations?</div><div><br /></div><div>Are they afraid of evil spirits manifesting in their midst, and deceiving or possessing the people? I never read one scripture in the bible where God or Jesus was afraid of evil spirits manifesting, or His apostles either! </div><div><br /></div><div>We need to be able to discern what spirits are at work when people gather for any type of meeting, or worship service. How can you know what spirit is speaking through the pastor or religious leader without the gift of discerning of spirits? </div><div><br /></div><div>Satan himself could be walking in and out of people in a church service or anywhere else and you would never know it! You could be sitting right next to men or women who practice witchcraft and you wouldn't know it.

Paul commanded the evil spirit to come out of the woman and it came out in the same hour! </div><div><br /></div><div>When Jesus, the Son of Almighty God cast out demons, they came out immediately!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Luke 4:31-37</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.

But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out?

This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, <b><u>“Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless <i>God is with him</i>.”</u></b><div><br /></div><div>Plain and simple, you will know when a man or woman is truly sent out into the world by God, when God Himself works signs and wonders <i><b>through</b></i> them. Emphasis is on 'through', because no man, in and of himself can perform any sign or miracle without God, period. Satan has power as well, but will he heal somebody? Raise people from the dead? Make the blind see? Heal paraplegics? I certainly don't believe so!</div><div><br /></div><div>Nicodemus, the Pharisees, teachers of the law and all the surrounding cities knew that Jesus was a man of God, and they wanted so much to discredit Him, but they couldn't and they knew He was a teacher sent by God because NO ONE could do what Jesus did UNLESS GOD was with him, period! </div><div><br /></div><div>There are thousands of men and women who claim that God said this, God told them to tell you, etc.... Sunday after Sunday, sermon after sermon, talk after talk, and that's it, haven't we heard enough talk? Isn't it time to stop talking <b><i>about</i> God</b> and truly <b><i>experience God</i></b>? Isn't it time that believers experience His presence, power, and His glory?</div><div><br /></div><div>The Pharisees and Jews were amazed at the works Jesus was doing and wondered how the signs and wonders were being done through Him.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Matthew 13:53-57</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.<b><u> When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?” </u></b>So they were offended at Him."<br /><div><br /></div><div>Why were all of the signs, miracles. wonders, and mighty works being shown through Jesus? Because God was with Him!</div><div><br /></div><div>So if you claim to speak for God, and you say God told me to tell you, or God sent me to your congregation, and there is no confirmation from God Himself of the words you speak, then how can the people know that God really sent you?</div><div><br /></div><div>Moses asked God how will the people know that you sent me to them if you don't give me a sign.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Exodus 4:1-9</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>"Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’ ” So the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.” And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand), “that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”</u></b><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Furthermore the Lord said to him, “Now put your hand in your bosom.” And he put his hand in his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, like snow. And He said, “Put your hand in your bosom again.” So he put his hand in his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was restored like his other flesh. “Then it will be, if they do not believe you, nor heed the message of the first sign, that they may believe the message of the latter sign. And it shall be, if they do not believe even these two signs, or listen to your voice, that you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take from the river will become blood on the dry land.”</u></b><div><br /></div><div>When God truly sends a man or a woman to speak for Him or to represent Him, there <b><u>WILL</u></b> be something supernatural happening to confirm that God did indeed send you, and the people will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is with you!</div><div><br /></div><div>Peter the Lords apostle, told those who were gathered in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost that Jesus was sent by God to help them and bring them salvation, but they didn't listen or believe!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Acts 2:22-24</u></b></div><div><br /></div>“<b><u>Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested (approved KJV) by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did <i>through Him in your midst</i>, as you yourselves also know</u></b>—Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it."<div><br /></div><div><u style="font-weight: bold;">Attested means:</u> attested (past tense) · attested (past participle, provide or serve as clear evidence of:</div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><u style="font-weight: bold;">Approved means:</u> accepted, pleasing, acceptable<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Jesus also told His disciples to believe Him because of the works that were being done through Him.</div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><b><u>John 14:9-11</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? <b><u>The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; <i>but the Father who dwells in Me does the works</i>. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves."</u></b><br /><div><br /></div><div>So these scriptures clearly tell me that if the Spirit of Christ dwells within you, He Himself will do His supernatural works <b><i><u>THROUGH</u></i></b> you! </div><div><br /></div><div>Jesus said the same Himself!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>John 14:12-14</u></b> </div><div><br /></div><div><u style="font-weight: bold;">“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. </u> And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.</div><div><br /></div><div>God is not going to do any great work through you, if you are still in your flesh, walking by the flesh, sowing to please your flesh, and still carnal minded. No man, woman or child, can do anything supernatural by the flesh, period! </div><div><br /></div><div>Paul summed up all those who were speaking boastful words.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>1st Corinthians 4:18-20</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>"Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."</u></b><br /><p>The above scriptures should sum up every single man or woman that get's up to speak for God, if you don't hear Jesus Christ and Him crucified preached, and you don't see a demonstration of the Spirit and power of God working <i><b><u>through</u></b></i> them, you have to ask them the question, <b><u>IS GOD WITH YOU?</u></b></p><p>In Jesus,</p><p>Tyrone</p></div></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-27791330667519396312023-09-01T12:55:00.000-05:002023-09-01T12:55:07.973-05:00Power From Heaven!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCWCrlU3OqqAvDmNcG_zasapdOfqjQkGgv6U71DCg1_QGps7YY5fflKLgnkrAUxCSjMhDj5xQG9maAwiqScuKp3SHkgpMMS2V0ng4lZaTRRaHUD1ATCjpQD8SvjnPYfwsNlz4IACKsVr-3_kXwBn4FiO14aZjf36YDgO0DJPg2wSuVTsn2GzIPd8fU0E/s1024/Seeing%20The%20Power%20of%20God.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCWCrlU3OqqAvDmNcG_zasapdOfqjQkGgv6U71DCg1_QGps7YY5fflKLgnkrAUxCSjMhDj5xQG9maAwiqScuKp3SHkgpMMS2V0ng4lZaTRRaHUD1ATCjpQD8SvjnPYfwsNlz4IACKsVr-3_kXwBn4FiO14aZjf36YDgO0DJPg2wSuVTsn2GzIPd8fU0E/w400-h300/Seeing%20The%20Power%20of%20God.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Jesus told His disciples before He ascended to Heaven to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of the Father, which is the outpouring of His Spirit and that they would be endued with power from on high.</div><p><b><u>Luke 24:49</u></b></p><p><b><u>"Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”</u></b></p><p>The New Testament books of the bible are filled with testimonies of the power of God, the supernatural displays of the Holy Spirit working in and through the lives of ordinary men and women who chose to answer the call of Jesus.</p><p>Without being empowered by the Spirit of God it is impossible to overcome your flesh, this world, and the adversary of all our souls, satan. We absolutely can not live in this world as a disciple of Jesus, unless the Holy Spirit is indwelling your soul. There is just to much evil, sin, and gross darkness, to live without the Spirit's daily help, protection, and empowerment.</p><p>Jesus who understood the full scale of the spiritual battle we face everyday and He would never send His apostles into the world to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth without first being empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The same Spirit that hovered over the face of the deep during the earth's creation, and the same Holy Spirit that overshadowed Mary the mother of Jesus, and caused her to be impregnated with a child without ever being touched by a man!</div><div><br /></div><div>This is why it's absolutely ludicrous to think that a momentous occasion like being baptized with the Holy Spirit, by the Lord Jesus Himself wouldn't be accompanied by supernatural signs, like speaking in other tongues and prophesying. </div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>John 14:23</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"<u style="font-weight: bold;">Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him</u>."<div><br /></div><div>How is it possible for Jesus and the Father to make their with a person?

So if all these people are really Christian, shouldn't we be seeing evidence of great unity, love, peace, health and prosperity? </p><p>That's what we read in scripture isn't it? The disciples were all together and had everything in common, giving to each one who had need, eating together, serving together, loving each other, and holding to the teachings of the apostles, who were taught by Jesus Himself.</p><p><b><u>Acts 2:40-47</u></b></p>"And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.<b><u> And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved."<br /></u></b><br />Why don't we see the signs and wonders being done by God amongst the people through His chosen vessels? Don't people still need healing and deliverance? Why don't we see the 2.6 billion believers together with <b>ALL</b> things in common? <div><br /></div><div>Let me tell you why! Because those believers are not being made disciples of Jesus and they are not being baptized with the Holy Spirit! If they were, then the whole world would be hearing about the great works of God every single day on CNN and every news network on the planet!</div><div><br /></div><div>Anybody can say they are a Christian, but can you say I am a disciple of Jesus? I have been born from above by the Spirit of God and the Kingdom of God is within me? That's what Jesus said must and would happen to those who took up there cross and followed Him.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's easy to say 'I'm a Christian', 'I believe in God', but it's extremely difficult to be a disciple of Jesus, to hate your life in this world, to deny yourself daily, and to come out of this world and be separate. That's what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. </div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Luke 9:23</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>"Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."<br /></u></b><br />The word Disciple implies a devoted allegiance to the teachings of one chosen as a master.<b> (Merriam Webster)</b><div><br /></div><b><u>Disciple</u></b>: lit., "a learner" (from manthano, "to learn," from a root math--, indicating thought accompanied by endeavor), in contrast to didaskalos, "a teacher;" hence it denotes "one who follows one's teaching," as the "disciples" of John, <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/mat/9/14/s_938014">Mat 9:14</a>; of the Pharisees, <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/mat/22/16/s_951016">Mat 22:16</a>; of Moses, <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/jhn/9/28/s_1006028">Jhn 9:28</a>; it is used of the "disciples" of Jesus <b>(Vines Expository Dictionary)</b><div><br /></div><div><b><u>John 8:31-32</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>"Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>So you see, Jesus didn't make Christians, or those who follow Him, He called people and made them Disciples. Those who left everything behind and followed Him, those who changed their lifestyle, their old way of thinking about themselves, others, and the world. </div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Christian:</u></b> a word formed after the Roman style, signifying an adherent of Jesus, was first applied to such by the Gentiles and is found in <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/act/11/26/s_1029026">Act 11:26</a>; <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/act/26/28/s_1044028">26:28</a>; <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/1pe/4/16/s_1155016">1Pe 4:16</a>.</div><br />Though the word rendered "were called" in <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/act/11/26/s_1029026">Act 11:26</a> (see under <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewTopic.cfm?topic=VT0000398">CALL</a>) might be used of a name adopted by oneself or given by others, the "Christians" do not seem to have adopted it for themselves in the times of the Apostles. In <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/1pe/4/16/s_1155016">1Pe 4:16</a>, the Apostle is speaking from the point of view of the persecutor; cp. "as a thief," "as a murderer." Nor is it likely that the appellation was given by Jews. <b>As applied by Gentiles there was no doubt an implication of scorn, as in Agrippa's statement in <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/act/26/28/s_1044028">Act 26:28</a>. Tacitus, writing near the end of the first century, says, "The vulgar call them Christians.</b> The author or origin of this denomination, Christus, had, in the reign of Tiberius, been executed by the Procurator, Pontius Pilate" (Annals xv. 44). From the second century onward the term was accepted by believers as a title of honor. <b>(Vines Expository Dictionary)</b><br /><div><br /></div><div>The International Church Of Christ was founded by Kip Mckean around 1979 to 1980, he was mentored by a man named Chuck Lucas who led a campus ministry with a vision of making disciples. The ICOC was an offshoot of the Church of Christ and at one point had a membership of 125,000. I myself was a member of the ICOC for a number of years and was baptized in water confessing Jesus as my Lord, but one vital thing was lacking, I was never baptized in the Holy Spirit! </div><div><br /></div><div>And therein lies the problem with anything started by man, they tend to leave out the supernatural part of being a disciple of Jesus. In the case of the ICOC, Kip Mckean believes the baptism of the Holy Spirit was only for the first century believers and the apostles, which is a cessantionist belief. And when you do something by the flesh, ultimately it will fail, but if it be of God, it will not be overthrown or overcome unless it's God's express will or to fulfill His word.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have learned that being a Disciple of Jesus is very different from being a Christian, they are essentially two different words with different meanings. Which one are you? A Disciple or a Christian?</div><div><br /></div><div>I am a Disciple.</div><div><br /></div><div>Abiding In His Word,</div><div>Tyrone</div><div><br /></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-26575608422619760982023-08-06T18:37:00.000-05:002023-08-06T18:37:18.092-05:00The Beast Unleashed!

And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. <b><u>He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."</u></b><br /><br /><br />There will be two persons fulfilling these prophecies of Revelation. The first, the beast from the sea, is the man of sin, the son of perdition, commonly called the anti-christ. The second is the beast from the earth who will work with the anti-christ performing great signs while in his presence to deceive the people, commonly called the false prophet.<br /><br />The beasts who come up from the sea and earth are evil spirits that are loosed as part of God's end times judgments on this earth. These two evil spirits have already entered their host body and are waiting to be unleashed upon humanity. Again, this sounds just like a script from a Hollywood movie, and many will likely say that, but it will be a reality in the very near future, I believe.<br /><br />Both of these persons will have supernatural abilities to deceive the whole world, and the beast from the earth will tell the people to make an image of the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. This image will be supernaturally brought to life and be able to speak and will force all who will not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And this man-made image of the beast that is brought to life will also force everyone (accept those who are true Christians!) to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.<br /><br />Hard to imagine the reality of this happening right? But with technology increasing so fast, with A.I. robots walking and talking, credit cards with chips, tapping, and swiping, and with barcodes being scanned on everything in this world, this prophecy doesn't seem so far fetched now! You can't get used to one form of technology before another one is released!<br /><br />I found another very interesting article on this subject!<div><br />"Another viable method of producing a permanent mark of digital data on a person uses optical patterns made directly on the skin. Since the advent of barcode technology during the 1970s for retail product marking, it has become a strong possibility that humans could be marked with a tattoo that is very similar in design to the Universal Product Code (UPC). The UPC is a form of product or item identification that is a particular subset of the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), and it can be found on every item sold at retail. The UPC has enough digital capacity that it can theoretically mark up to 1 trillion items with a unique code. A similar barcode system, the European Article Number (EAN) is actually a superset of the UPC and it can mark up to 10 trillion items. <b><u>Therefore, a barcode similar to the UPC or EAN potentially could be used to mark, in addition to every product sold, every human being with their own unique digital number for identification.</u></b><br /><br /><b><u>Such a system could indelibly ink the barcode directly into the skin of a person using standard tattooing procedures; however, in this case the process would be automated and validated by the state to provide an official number to each citizen, just as similar barcodes provide unique numbers associated with every commercial product. This process of barcoding people might even be done at automobile license facilities using a device that could be placed on the hand or forehead and the pattern quickly tattooed into the skin. To make the procedure sanitary, the tattooing device could incorporate sterile, disposable heads that could be changed after each tattooing process is finished. The procedure could even use invisible or minimally visible dyes that could be read in the near-IR region of the spectrum, thus making the marks cosmetically acceptable even on the forehead.</u></b><br /><br /><b><u>This type of mark would have elements of the predicted Mark of the Beast as well as the Number of the Beast, because it would be required on the hand or on the forehead. In fact, it would actually be written on and within the hand or forehead as specifically required by the prophecy in Revelation. What is fascinating is that this type of barcode Mark would also incorporate within it the hidden ‘666’ control patterns at the beginning, middle, and end of each UPC or EAN barcode, thus manifesting the Mark of the Beast and the Number of the Beast combined together into one system (see the sections on 666). This is certainly intriguing from a Biblical perspective, but it remains to be seen whether this will become the final Mark as predicted in Revelation.</u></b><br /><br />Not surprisingly, some researchers, governments, and corporations have actually been advocating the marking of people with barcode IDs for quite some time. Elizabeth Moon, a science fiction author, was quoted in the <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/human-barcode-society-organized-invades-privacy-civil-liberties-article-1.1088129#ixzz2yryHPaIH">New York Daily News</a> in 2012 as saying,<br /><br />“I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached – a barcode if you will – an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals.”<br /><br />In addition, the first of a series of books for young readers entitled the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bar-Code-Tattoo-Suzanne-Weyn/dp/0545470544/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397401434&sr=1-1&keywords=Bar+Code+Tattoo">Bar Code Tattoo</a>, life is described in a society where every individual is forced to receive a barcode on their body by law. The rationale used in the story is that the government wants to simplify everyone’s life by eliminating cards and official identification papers, so no one could lose them or have them stolen. Of course, in the book people who resist the government and don’t get the barcode are ostracized and prohibited from participating in society. Although the Bar Code Tattoo series of books is not about Biblical prophecy, it definitely mirrors what will happen to people who refuse to get the final Mark of the Beast during the reign of the Antichrist. However, it will be much worse for Christians at the end than the main characters in the book, since ultimately many people who don’t accept the Mark will be persecuted and put to death for daring to defy the Empire."</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Original article link:</b> <a href="https://endtimestruth.com/mark-of-the-beast/final-mark/" target="_blank">The Final Mark - End Times Truth</a> </div><div><br /></div><div>It will truly be a very hard time for Christians during this time, but the Lord will provide for His people!

Jesus told His disciples to be gentle as a dove but wise as a serpent for a reason! The hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places will show you no mercy, period! And evil spirits are not just in heavenly places but also in the bodies of human beings too! <div><br /></div><div>A perfect example of this is when Jesus went into a Synagogue (building) to preach and an evil spirit manifested inside a man who was there.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Mark 1:21-28</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"<b><u>Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.

Now Jesus being full of grace, truth, power and light, caused the unclean spirit to manifest in the man. More than likely, none of the pharisees and teachers of the law knew the man had an unlean spirit in him, but the power of God emanating through Jesus as he taught the scriptures, brought the demon out!</div><div><br /></div><div>This is why I keep saying exactly what the scriptures teach, that the Church is NOT a building! Jesus said, "upon this Rock, (Himself) I will build MY church and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it."

But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.

Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. <b><u>And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.</u></b><p></p><p>Jesus said the scriptures <b>MUST </b>be fulfilled and cannot be broken! So every prophetic word that is written in the bible <b>WILL </b>come to pass, and every word that comes out of the mouth of God <b>WILL</b> come to pass as well.</p><p>God is in control of everything, the best thing any person can do in this life, is die to self! This is exactly why Jesus said, he who wants to save his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake and the gospels will find it!</p><p>The judgments of God come upon the righteous and the wicked, the big difference is that the righteous can be blessed, protected, and provided for in the midst of God's judgments!</p><p>The beast being unleashed is a form of God's judgments on this earth. Because when this happens, and it will! It will cause the great falling away that <u style="font-weight: bold;">2nd Thessalonians 2</u> talks about. When millions of professing Christians realise they have been lied to and taught doctrines of devils and haven't been truly converted to Christ, they will leave every church building and congregation around the world! They will seek to save themselves, their money, their jobs, material possessions, etc...... Only those whose hearts belong to Jesus and really serve Him will remain. </p><p>And God will pour out His Spirit upon this earth one more time and millions, maybe billions, will be ushered into the Kingdom of God! And on the other side millions, and possibly billions, will worship the beast and his image, taking his mark. The scripture says that authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation, that's the whole world!</p><p>So I do believe in the near future there will be no more, you go your way and I go mine, no more so called, 'separation of the races', no more I go to my church and you go to yours. The only separation of humans on this earth will be those who have the mark, and follow the beast, and those who don't have it and follow Jesus. And those who refuse to worship the beast and his image will be killed, and of course no real Christian full of God's Spirit will take the mark and worship the beast, and this is why millions of true Christians will be martyred during this time.</p><p>The scripture also tells us that it was granted to him to make war with the saints, (true Spirit-filled Believers) and overcome them, (imprison, kill or martyr). The beast would have no power over true blood bought, Spirit filled Christians unless it was given to him by God Himself! </p><p>Jesus said the same thing to Pontius Pilate!</p><p>It's going to be a very hard time, but also a time of great unity, love, joy, and peace in the hearts of true believers. A time of supernatural works of God through His people, and a time of great hope, as Spirit-filled Christians look up to Heaven, because we know our redemption draws near!</p><p>In Christ,</p><p>Tyrone</p>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-54668762960068185582023-07-03T22:34:00.000-05:002023-07-03T22:34:54.678-05:00The Beast Unleashed!

And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. <b><u>The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”</u></b></div><br /><br /><b><u>And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.</u></b><br /><br />There is alot to understand here. By divine revelation, this is what I understand. First we need to understand that there is a difference between the spiritual judgments and decrees of God in Heaven and the physical manifestations of those judgments and decress here on earth!<div><br /></div><div>For example what does it look like when peace is taken from the earth?</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Revelation 6:3-4</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.”<b><u> Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword."</u></b><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div><div>This is a judgment of God, and it is happening right now! This prophecy of scripture is being fulfilled even as I write this post, just turn on CNN news and you will hear; uprising in Greece, protests break out in France, five people killed at a block party, mass shooting at an elementary school, mass shooting at a high school, John killed Jane last night at a house party, Jane killed John last night as he slept in bed, on and on and on. Jesus said, because lawlessness will abound, the love of many shall grow cold!</div><div><br /></div><div>Notice the scripture says in Revelation 13:2 the dragon (satan) gave him his power, what kind of power does satan have? Most notably, the power to deceive the whole world, authority over other evil spirits etc.... </div><div><br /></div><div>This beast from the sea is an evil spirit that has entered a human man and when it is unleashed from within that person, he will become the man of sin, the son of perdition, the anti-christ. Sounds like a movie script doesn't it! </div><div><br />What will cause the beast from the sea to be unleashed from within the man? The deadly wound to the head! And what's the most common form of a deadly wound to the head today? That's right, a gunshot!</div><div><br /></div><div>About 90% of people who are shot in the head, die. So it will most certainly be a miraculous event when this man recovers from the deadly wound. The House Representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head by Jared Lee Loughner at a supermarket parking lot in Tucson, Arizona, along with many other people and she miraculously survived and recovered from the assassination attempt. </div><div><br /></div><div>When this happens to this person and he miraculously recovers, the world will be amazed and be drawn to him even more than before! He will go on to blaspheme God and His creation, he will oppose, persecute and kill true Spirit-filled Christians. He will have authority over all the countries and people on this earth and every soul will worship him, except those who reject him and his mark by being converted to Christ and being sealed in their foreheads by the Spirit of God. </div><div><br /></div><div>A truly sobering prophecy! And I do believe we are right at the door! Only time will tell!</div><div><br /></div><div>In Christ,</div><div>Tyrone<div><p></p></div></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-32618421587126973352023-06-24T13:11:00.000-05:002023-06-24T13:11:22.976-05:00Is Humanity Headed Towards Extinction?<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ3qHflrH8C5si7vbtJP8E6RcGN8JP8mdgfRfuKoWM0vVgJRKhPk7WTTDIO-2sT9feIwYJYiiSgI5kaTrEE7kqH1x4_GQbmhrBRW0IxwymZFXQ8dGKkyHE7GsMdRYCkMkpqW6mwHgmfa5BWCVEaALXnAHGrOOl2QQRN9UI4lJHrNr6n_pREXtP3vremnk/s2500/Human%20Extinction.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1406" data-original-width="2500" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ3qHflrH8C5si7vbtJP8E6RcGN8JP8mdgfRfuKoWM0vVgJRKhPk7WTTDIO-2sT9feIwYJYiiSgI5kaTrEE7kqH1x4_GQbmhrBRW0IxwymZFXQ8dGKkyHE7GsMdRYCkMkpqW6mwHgmfa5BWCVEaALXnAHGrOOl2QQRN9UI4lJHrNr6n_pREXtP3vremnk/w549-h360/Human%20Extinction.webp" width="549" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><b><u>Matthew 24:15-22</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

One needs to <b><i><u>hear</u></i></b> the good news of the Kingdom of God, <b><i><u>believe</u></i> </b>with their hearts what they hear and then <b><i><u>obey</u></i></b> the commands and teachings of Jesus Christ that are contained within the bible.</p><p>So many hear the word, even believe what they hear or read, but don't obey it or do what it says! The scriptures have no value in and of themselves <b><i><u>UNLESS</u></i></b> you apply them to your life! </p><p>Jesus said that those who hear His sayings and put them into practice are wise!</p><p><b><u>Matthew 7:24-25</u></b></p><b><u>“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock."</u></b><div><br /></div><div>The scriptures written in the bible are just words in a book like any other book in the world, until you DO what they say and when you start practicing what Jesus taught is when truth can start working in your heart and mind!</div><div><br /></div><div>James said the same thing!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>James 1:22-25</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. </u></b>For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.<b><u> But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does."<br /></u></b><div><br />It's not enough to just go and sit in a church pew and sing a few songs and say amen a few times or nod your head in agreement and then leave out the building and just keep doing what you've been doing all your life, remanining carnal minded and walking in your flesh. What's separating you from the ungodly and the wicked? Do you think just because you GO TO a church that you are a Christian? Or just because you profess to be a Christian, you ARE a Christian? </div><div><br /></div><div>If you don't have all three things how can you enter God's Kingdom? </div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>John 3:3-5</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” </u></b>Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”<u style="font-weight: bold;"> Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.</u>"<div><br /></div><div><div>Jesus said if you love me you will OBEY my commands!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>John 14:15-23</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>“If you love Me, keep My commandments.</u></b> And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.<br /><br />“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.<b><u> He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.</u></b> And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”<div><br /></div><div>Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”</div><div><br /></div><div>Jesus answered and said to him, <b><u>“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word</u></b>; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. <u style="font-weight: bold;">He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.</u>"</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>The questions are these:</u></b> Have you been born from above?

There should not be an issue whatsoever for any Christian regarding what God created in the beginning and the commandments He gave them.</p><p><b><u>Genesis 5:1-2</u></b></p>"This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, <b><u>He made him in the likeness of God. <i>He created them male and female</i>, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created."</u></b><br /><br />There is no way whatsoever that you can justify two men or two women being married or having a relationship in the bible, period! The government may have legalized same sex marriage, but God didn't!<div><br /></div><div><b><u>Romans 1:26-27</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"<b><u>For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due."</u></b><div><br /></div><div>You know we are living in the last days when people are saying that preaching, quoting, or writing scriptures from the bible about homosexuality, lesbianism and any other sin, is hate speech, truly the Lord is at the door!</div><div><br /></div><div>This is exactly why many pastors don't even speak about these issues to their congregations because they fear what will happen to them if they do! They don't want to get canceled! The time is already here when true Christians will be hated and persecuted for believing what the scriptures say and for following Jesus Christ.</div><div><br /></div><div>Remember the world hated Jesus because He told them that their deeds were evil. The moment you tell someone that what they are doing is wrong, that's when they become angry and want to kill you!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>John 7:6-7</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. <b><u>The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil."</u></b></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div>Will you choose to follow Jesus even when the world hates you? Or will you turn away from Him and follow Him no more?</div><div><br /></div><div>The choice is yours!</div><div><br /></div><div><div>In Christ,</div></div><div>Tyrone</div><div><br /></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-11836940382556588932023-05-14T18:00:00.001-05:002023-05-14T18:03:38.422-05:00Supernatural Judgements!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7pNpVj8fcuY6GDnlPsZry8d5_ZePeFHfjXKHQ4i8GlbJ8loOSJ0UzQMyv880-PeuQ2i3pjeFFGzaSaUCfoNc0cc3H02ixHWapNENAsoXohIKQXqvAQlEKWva55hbsph--9-GRLIOQSegm77qbFzYSbN_nvauzGfag-fYXEphjBHMI4-g-zHzv_AXg/s1000/the-Destruction-of-Sodom-and-Gomorrah-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="1000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7pNpVj8fcuY6GDnlPsZry8d5_ZePeFHfjXKHQ4i8GlbJ8loOSJ0UzQMyv880-PeuQ2i3pjeFFGzaSaUCfoNc0cc3H02ixHWapNENAsoXohIKQXqvAQlEKWva55hbsph--9-GRLIOQSegm77qbFzYSbN_nvauzGfag-fYXEphjBHMI4-g-zHzv_AXg/w507-h360/the-Destruction-of-Sodom-and-Gomorrah-1.jpg" width="507" /></a></div><br /> <div>The Lord said to me two times, <b><u>"Sodom and Gomorrah"</u></b><p></p><p><b><u>Genesis 18:20-21</u></b></p><b><u>"And the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>The supernatural judgments of God are already happening in this world and many don't perceive it!

That's what the word tells us! God loves His children, but we all must undergo chastening, scourging, correction, discipline, and sometimes rebuke by the Lord Himself!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is why the word of God says, "It's a terrible thing to fall into the Hands of the Living God!", but who else can we turn to in order to be saved? Like Job said, "Even though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him!" The word also tells us that if we endure chastening, the Lord deals with us as sons, and we will reap a harvest of righteousness if we don't give up!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This brings me to some of the ways God judges His people who sin or do wrong in His sight and how He judges the world and those in the world for His own purposes!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For instance when God brought His great Judgments on Egypt and Pharoah, it was God Himself who hardened the heart of Pharaoh so that he wouldn't listen to Moses and let His people go!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><u>Exodus 7:21-23</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>"<b><u>And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.</u></b> Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Israel is My son, My firstborn. So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn.” ’ ”<br /><p></p><p>Do you understand what happened here? God is sending Moses to speak to Pharaoh to tell him to let my people go, but God Himself hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he wouldn't let the people go! I would have been like huh? But it's God's will, God's ways, God's Judgements!</p><p>And God did this with Moses and Pharaoh multiple times, all the way until the Red Sea crossing!</p><p><b><u>Exodus 14:1-4</u></b></p>"Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’ <b><u>Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” </u></b>And they did so."<div><br /></div><div>GOD DOES NOT CHANGE! People change, cultures change, technology changes, presidents', popes, leaders, dictators, all change, but God remains the same forever!</div><div><br /></div><div>Case in point, look what God Himself is going to do to those who do not love the truth!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. <b><u>And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."</u></b><div><br /></div><div>God even Judged Moses and Aaron himself after Moses did not do what God told him to do and dishonored Him before the people. Even though Moses was the most humble man that ever lived, saw God's glory, talked with God face to face, came down off the mountain after forty days and nights in the glory of God! </div><div><br /></div><div>God told Moses to speak to the rock and water would come forth, but Moses was angry with the people for rebelling against him and struck the rock twice with his staff.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>Numbers 20:6-13</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. And the glory of the Lord appeared to them, and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, <b><u>“Take the staff, and assemble the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water. So you shall bring water out of the rock for them and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.” </u></b>And Moses took the staff from before the Lord, as he commanded him."</div><div><br /></div><div>"Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?” And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, and water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock. <b><u>And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe in me, to uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”</u></b> These are the waters of Meribah, where the people of Israel quarreled with the Lord, and through them he showed himself holy."</div><div><br /></div><div><div><div>Many do not really understand the supernatural Judgments of God, He is absolutely in control and His word will be fulfilled! The best thing to do for any Christian is to humble themselves under the Mighty Hand of God. And in the end the word tells us that EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue will confess that Jesus Christ IS LORD!</div><div><br /></div><div>In Jesus,</div><div>Tyrone</div><div><br /></div></div></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-33473143729571763722023-04-30T16:49:00.000-05:002023-04-30T16:49:07.366-05:00Next Up?

The age of A.I. is dawning and robots are now becoming more of a reality everyday. Chat GPT, self driving cars, automated machines making products, A.I. producing songs and sounding like human commercial artists, and the list goes on. Daniel prophesied about these times in Daniel chapter 12.<p><b><u>Daniel 12:1-4</u></b></p>“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. <b><u><i>“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”<br /></i></u></b><p>Hasn't knowledge increased at an alarming rate? Look at how fast they came up with a vaccine for Covid-19! You can't get used to one form of technology before they come out with something else!

The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled every single day! We are living in the times of sorrows, the beggining of birth pains before the second coming of Jesus Christ to this earth. </p><p>The Lord recently said to me twice, <b><u>"Sodom and Gomorrah"</u></b>, and we all should know what the Lord was saying with that! This world, this country of America and millions of people who populate this earth are given over to false religions, hedonism, a reprobate and depraved mind, given over to the lusts of their flesh and thinking evil continually. Much as it was in the days of Noah, just as Jesus prophesied it would be in the end times!</p><p>The Lord also said to me, <u style="font-weight: bold;">"The Stench Is Putrid"</u>, what this means is that the smell of evil coming up to the nostrils of God from sinful human beings and a corrupt earth is beyond stinking! </p><p><b><u>Putrid means: (of organic matter) decaying or rotting and emitting a fetid smell.</u></b></p>Have you ever smelled the stench of a slaughterhouse? It's terrible! It fills the whole atmosphere surrounding it! You can smell it from miles away!<div><br /></div><div>This is exactly why God calls us OUT of the world! He wants us to be cleansed in our souls, washed by the blood of Jesus, purged of dead works and evil thoughts in our mind. The Lord wants us to be completely separated, and set apart from this world and everything in it, the ideologies, the lifestyles, the entertainment. God wants us to be made into the image of Christ and become a NEW Creation in Him!</div><div><br /></div><div>This is why Paul said in <b><u>Romans 12:1-2</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. <i>And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind</i>, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."<br /></u></b><div><br /></div><div>God wants His people to <b>THINK </b>differently, <b>ACT </b>differently and <b>LIVE</b> differently than those who are in and of this world! And how can this be possible while still living on this planet? By the power of <b><u>HIS HOLY SPIRIT</u></b> that's how!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>John 15:18-19</u></b></div><div><br /></div><b><u>“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."</u></b><div><br /><div>Those in the world end up hating real Christians because of the fruits of the Spirit in our souls, the presence of God that surrounds us and our holiness. Christians are called to be separate and to follow and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ, like "love your neighbor as yourself", "do unto others as you would have them do to you", "love your enemies". </div><div><br /></div><div>What true Christians can become is exactly what God intended for human beings to become in the beginning when He made them, and do you know what that is? To become <u style="font-weight: bold;">LIKE HIM!</u> Full of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfullness, Righteousness, Holiness, Truthful, Merciful, Obedient, serving one another, sharing and caring for one another, helping one another, living together in perfect unity!</div><div><br /></div><div>All of the above characteristics and fruits of the Spirit are attainable while we are <b><u>ON</u></b> this earth! Not when we all get to Heaven as the song says! We can become <b><u>LIKE CHRIST</u></b> right now! Jesus was our perfect example, if He could do it as a man who walked this earth, so can we!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>2nd Corinthians 6:4-18</u></b></div><div><br /></div>"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? <b><u>For you are the temple of the living God</u></b>. As God has said: <b><u>“I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord.

They have the power to start world wars, to tear down kingdoms and to build them up. Words have power to destroy souls and curse generations of families. </p><p>As Christians we must learn how to build one another up as the scriptures tell us and not tear each other down to prove our point or to be considered 'right'. We must learn to choose our words carefully and to have the words that we speak seasoned with the grace of God. How is that possible? By having our hearts and minds cleansed of all unrighteousness by the blood of Jesus. We must become new creations of God, transformed by the renewing of our minds, conformed to the image of Christ Jesus, and established by the word of God in our hearts.</p><p>It was God's word that formed the Heavens, the earth and everything in it.</p><p><b><u>Psalm 33:6-9</u></b></p><p><b><u>"By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast."</u></b></p>In contrast, satan, a fallen angel who rebelled against God and was cast down out of Heaven, deceived Eve, with evil words that she listened to which led to the corruption of her mind and she in turn, enticed her husband, causing them both to sin by disobeying the direct commandment of God.<div><br /></div><div><b><u>Genesis 3:1-7</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, <b><u>“Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”</u></b></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><b><u>And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”</u></b></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><b><u>Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings."</div><div><br /></div><div>satan, who is completely evil and has the power to deceive the whole world, spoke a few sentences that brought down humanity and caused us all to suffer corruption, a cursed earth, and disconnection from God at birth, being born with a carnal nature, prone to sin.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is why Jesus said it's what comes out of a man that corrupts him, for out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks!</div><div><br /></div><div>What do you talk about all day long? What do your friends talk about? Your spouse? Your children? Pay attention, because that's what your heart is full of! Is your heart full of the wisdom and words of God or is it full of the world and the things of this world? </div><div><br /></div><div>We know what James said about the tongue!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>James 3:5-12</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>"Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.</u></b></div><br />See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. <b><u>It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh."</u></b><br /><br />Be careful what you speak to yourself and others! Words have power!<div><br /></div><div>In Christ,</div><div>Tyrone<br /><br /></div>Gospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com0
