Whosoever Will, Let Them Come!

 

Mark 8:34-38

"When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

The above scriptures are powerful, challenging, and thought provoking! So many talk about how loving, kind and gentle Jesus was during His earthly ministry, and He was, and still is! BUT have these same people actually APPLIED what Jesus said in their own lives?

If ANYONE literally does what Jesus said and taught, they would be complaining and crying like babies! Just one day without the pleasures of the flesh and people will think the world is ending! That's how challenging Jesus words are to those who are completely engrossed in a world that is dying and full of sin.

The call of Jesus here is to let go of everything in this world, even who you THINK you are! Everything you've done in the flesh and by the strength of your flesh, put it behind you! Let go of all your worldly knowledge, schooling, training, parent's advice, teachers' advice, friends' advice, you have to become as nothing, like Paul, the Lord's apostle did, like Jesus did, who was God Himself manifested in the flesh. He humbled Himself and became as a servant, and became obedient to the will of the Father, even unto death!

These sayings and teachings of Jesus are absolutely paradoxical, they seem senseless and self-contradictory, unacceptable and undoable, but that's exactly what Jesus calls us too! You can deny yourself; you can put to death the misdeeds of the body; you can live a holy life on this earth right now! Jesus did it as a man, and we are called to walk in his footsteps, to become LIKE HIM!

You can't do anything though without receiving the Dunamis power from God above, the Spirit of the Living God in your soul, because the carnal mind is hostile to God and WILL NOT submit to God or His commandments, you MUST first believe that you need Jesus to deliver you from yourself, from sin, from the devil, and from the world. It all starts with BELIEF!

This is why Jesus uses man to preach His gospel, because only through believing His word can we be set free, only when we feel the conviction of the Spirit in our hearts and respond to it with repentance, can we begin to change our minds and our lives. 

It can be extremely hard to change our sinful lifestyles, our bad habits, our erroneous ideologies and our upbringing. But change we must, if we want life, if we truly want the salvation of our souls, if we want the blessings of God in our lives. There is only ONE way, and that is the way of Jesus, and His way is the way of the cross, and DEATH TO SELF!

What way will you choose?

They Will Not Repent!

 

In this post I want to talk a bit about the depravity of human beings. It's very sad to see what some human beings do to others, for whatever the reason. Take Isis for instance, the radical Islamist group who cut people's throat's on video and beheaded many others. Their killings struck fear in the world as they made threats of global domination and multitudes of men and women flocked to join them and aid them financially, or to help them in their sadistic murders and espouse their erroneous ideology.

Which brings me to the judgments of God that are upon the face of this earth at this very moment and the great judgments to come. It's almost inconceivable to me how even the supernatural judgments of a holy and righteous God won't be enough to cause His own creation to repent and turn to Him for forgiveness of their sins and the salvation of their souls.

Revelation 9:3-6, 18-21

"Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them."

"By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm".

"But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts."

Mankind will become so depraved and hard of heart that not even supernatural plagues coming from the hand of God Himself will stop them from committing sinful acts, worshipping idols and practicing witchcraft.

All you have to do is look around and you will see the evil spirit of rebellion and anti-christ everywhere in this world. In young and old alike, not wanting to hear anybody tell them that what they are doing is wrong or a sin. Even a popular song, with some of the lyrics saying, "can't nobody tell me nothing", this is exactly why God has to judge the whole world, so that at least some will wake up and realize what's really going on in this world and turn their hearts to Him while there is still time!

Revelation 16:4, 8-9, 10-11, 

Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.  And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

ALL OF GOD'S JUDGMENTS ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS!

"Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory."

Again! Even with the sun scorching them, people on this earth will know it's God who is sending these plagues and will blaspheme His name and still NOT repent!

People who take the mark will be tormented by the bowls of God's wrath being poured out upon them in what I believe is the not-so-distant future.

"Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds."

Even with plagues like the ones God poured out on Pharoah and the Egyptians, many will not repent of their sinful acts. 

This is exactly why Paul wrote in 2nd Corinthians 6:17-18

Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”

Revelation 18:4-5

"And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities."

Come out from among them while there is still time, the King is getting ready to return!

The choice is yours!

Jesus, Always The Same!

 

Wherever Jesus went (after He was sent out to preach), He never changed who He was. In the Synagogue, in Solomon's Temple, in people's houses, in the public square, on the hill side, by the seashore, and on the mountaintop. It didn't matter where He went or what situation He found Himself in, His heart and His mind was fixed on His Father and on the work He was given to do while He walked the face of this earth.

If you are a Christian, (Born of water and the Spirit), we are called to be like our Master! How was He able to do what He did? Because He was empowered by the Spirit of God and His soul was full of the fruits of the Spirit! Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, Faith, and Self-Control.

The fruit of the Spirit is NOT a willful change of one's own self, but a supernatural work of God through His Spirit inside the immortal soul (heart and mind) of the believer and follower of Jesus Christ! 

This is exactly why Jesus said, "By their fruits you will know them", and "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks."

In every situation Jesus was placed in, He responded with the fruits of the Spirit perfected in His soul. Loved, when He was hated, Kind and Gentle, when He was confronted, Faithful, when faced with persecution and His imminent crucifixion. Jesus displayed all the fruits of the Spirit during His life and earthly ministry.

If you profess to be a Christian and go to a church service on Sunday, say amen and clap your hands, but the moment you leave the building, you go to the local pub to watch the football game, drink beer and yell at the T.V., something is wrong! Or if you were looking at your phone the whole time checking the latest scores while you sat in service, are you really a Christian? 

Being a Christian, a disciple of Jesus, is a daily lifestyle, a daily dying to the flesh and the things of this world. A literal spiritual transformation from the old man into a new creation in Christ Jesus. If you find yourself acting one way inside the church building and the exact opposite, outside the building, you definitely need to examine yourself to see if you are really in the faith!

It's easy to put on a show for people and act pious and religious, but God knows the heart! He sees everything that is going on inside the soul and He knows those who serve Him and those who are faking it for whatever the reason. This is also why Jesus is going to separate the sheep from the goats when He returns. The ungodly hypocrites will wonder when they didn't serve Jesus, and He will tell them the truth about themselves, and the righteous will wonder when DID they do all the things Jesus mentions?

Matthew 25:31-46

“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the [c]holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.  Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;  I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Matthew 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Do you change your colors like a Chameleon? 

Jesus Christ, the SAME, yesterday, today, and forever! Let those who truly love the Lord strive to be more like Him every day!

In Christ Jesus,

The Light Will ALWAYS Be Stronger Than Darkness!

 

John 1:4-5

In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

It doesn't matter how dark things may seem, how ungodly, how evil people become, the light will ALWAYS shine and dissipate the darkness!

The devil tried, men and women try every day to overcome the light, but the light cannot be overcome by darkness, the light pushes back the darkness, and exposes evil wherever it is.

If you are filled with the light of life as Jesus was and is, then that light will emanate and radiate from your soul (mind and heart) into the atmosphere to give light to your home, your workplace, your neighbor's house, and wherever you step your foot! And as you grow in grace and knowledge of Christ, the presence of God, His glory and His grace will surround you, protecting you and your family from the evil that is all around us every single day.

This is why Jesus said, "I AM the Light of the world, whoever believes in Me shall NEVER walk in darkness." Why? because Christ in you, His Spirit IN your soul, the Kingdom of God WITHIN you, shining as a light in this darkened and corrupted world!

John 8:12

"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Why do people get old so quickly, sick so frequently? Because they don't have the light of life within them! They have no power to overcome their flesh, the world, evil spirits, or the devil.

Those who are born from above and those who will be, must understand who we really are in Christ and what He did for us on the cross. It's so much more than what people are being taught on Sunday mornings!

If you are not being delivered daily from darkness and seeing or feeling the transformation of your body and soul by the Spirit of God, then something is wrong! Ask God to reveal what it is, so that you may receive all the promises of God in your life!

John 12:35-36

"Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them."

It's so wonderful to be a child of light! Darkness is blinding, soul destroying and oppressive, we must come into the light so that we can be set free from the darkness that holds people captive. 

Matthew 4:16   

"The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, Light has dawned."

Did you know that when King Jesus returns that it will be the brightness of His coming that will destroy the lawless one?

2nd Thessalonians 2:8

"And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming."

Do you love the light? Or would you rather sit in darkness and hate the light because you fear that your evil deeds will be exposed? 

Come into the Light will there is still time!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Scriptures Being Fulfilled!

 

Another sign that we are truly living at the end of the age! The prophecies that Paul spoke in 2nd Timothy are happening right now and only those who truly love the truth and the Lord Jesus are paying attention!

Fortunately for those who will come to Christ in the near future, but right now are oblivious to the real truth of what's happening in this world, I'm here to tell you that God Almighty Himself is raising up an army who will be able to stand in these times, even in the midst of His own Judgments! Make no mistake, GOD IS IN CONTROL! and the scriptures MUST be fulfilled!

When God poured out His plagues and judgments on Pharaoh and Egypt, the people of Goshen were protected! Even though God hardened the heart of Pharaoh, He still told Moses to go and tell him, "Let My People Go!",  that seems contradictory doesn't it? 

But God does what He wants to do, to fulfill His word and have His way! Once we understand who is really in control, we can stop worrying about the government, the police, thieves, and gangs, etc......

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up!

Christians today should not be afraid of what's going on in the world, but read your bible and know the truth! Be ready, be prepared in your heart and mind for things to get even worse, as the love of many is growing cold. And it has ALL been foretold in the bible!

Jesus told His apostles, that it would be as it was in the days of Noah, people eating and drinking, marrying and being given and marriage, and then the flood came and swept them all away! God is a supernatural Spirit being, with ALL power, dominion, might and strength! Nothing is too hard for Him. He is able to harden hearts and soften them, He is able to lift up and tear down, He plants and HE uproots!

Luke 17:26-30

"And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

The Lord knows those who truly serve Him and when this last great outpouring of His Spirit occurs, many millions, even billions will enter into His kingdom and those who are His will be separated from those who are not. Those who don't serve the Lord will take the mark of the beast, and forfeit their soul, and those who believe and are converted to Christ by being baptized in water and the Spirit, will have the name of God written on their spiritual foreheads. We will both live together, work together, eat together, until the final harvest when the Lord Himself will separate the sheep from the goats!

Which one will you be? The Lord's sheep, or a goat?  

The choice is yours!

In Christ,

Tyrone

He Shall Come In Peaceably!

What does prophecy look like being fulfilled in reality? Jesus fulfilled ALL the prophecies about Him that were prophesied in scripture. 

Acts 3:18

"But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled."

Luke 24:44

"Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

Luke 4:16-21

"So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.  And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

Daniel the prophet and interpreter of dreams, was given prophecies about the end times like John the apostle of Jesus was given the visions and words of the book of Revelation. 

Daniel prophesied these words written in Daniel 11:20-24

“There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue.  With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, and also the prince of the covenant. And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time."

Is it possible that Barack H. Obama, the 44th President of the United States for a total of eight years, can be the man that Daniel prophesied about? It is possible! 

When Jesus was fulfilling the scriptures during His earthly ministry, nobody had one clue or understanding of what was happening! Even His own disciples that He spoke plainly too, didn't understand much of what Jesus said! Do you think it would be any different today? No!

The carnal mind CANNOT understand spiritual things! Your mind has to opened by the Lord Himself and the Spirit of the Living God to able to comprehend what happens in the spirit realm and what prophecies look like being fulfilled in the physical realm.

While I was at work one day and I heard about Obama winning the Nobel peace prize after being in office for less than eight months, I felt in my spirit, the Lord revealing to me that this was fulfilling the prophecy Daniel spoke when he said, 'he shall enter peaceably'. And this is the nature of revelations from God, He gives them to whom He chooses, but not to everyone. 

"Barack H. Obama, the 44th President of the United States, had been in power for less than eight months when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009. Among the reasons it gave, the Nobel Committee lauded Obama for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. Emphasis was also given to his support - in word and deed - for the vision of a world free from nuclear weapons."  

Barack H. Obama - Facts (nobelprize.org)

Keep watch people! The Lord is standing at the door! And I certainly believe that many more prophecies of scripture will be fulfilled in the coming years and it will become more and more obvious of the times we are living in. Time to get in the ark before the door closes on you!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Change!

 

Nobody likes change do they? Especially the elderly!

Why is that? I believe because elderly people are so set in their ways, habits, lifestyle, ideology, etc.... that when something new comes they immediately reject it! 'That's not how we do things here', they say, or how about this one, 'in our day we would never do that!', it goes on and on.

When Jesus started His earthly ministry two thousand years ago, He changed everything! Especially for those who believed and followed Him.  He totally went against the grain of all the religious establishments and traditions of men. But isn't that what God is supposed to do?  Or should God bow to the will of man? His own creation? Of course not!

I personally like change, especially changes within myself! Because every time the Spirit of the Lord exposes some evil within me, I get set free from it! And that changes me! I become more and more like Christ everyday!

One of the main reasons the Pharisees hated Jesus was because He told them the truth about themselves, about their deeds, their hard hearts, and their traditions that nullified the commandments of God. 

When the truth is brought to our attention by scripture or someone used by God to share that truth, the focus should be on repenting if we're in error, and crying out to God for forgiveness so we can be forgiven and healed, which results in change! 

Matthew 10:34-39

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.  Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

Now those scriptures are VERY challenging, hard to accept, and hard to put into practice, and they are truly life changing and soul altering! But if you hear and obey them, they will lead your soul to eternal life with God!

Change is hard! But change MUST come! And indeed it is already here! 

Will you flow with the changing winds of the Spirit? Or will you be blown away as God continues to blow His breath of judgments upon this earth?

As always, the choice is yours!

In Christ,

Tyrone

The Infamous Mark! (More Insight)

 

Revelation 13:16-17

"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."

While I was at work this week, I was praying and asking the Lord to reveal to me whether the mark would be the implantable RFID chip or some type of barcode. I work at Amazon as a picker and I work with products, scanners, and barcodes all day long, and as I picked up two products to scan while doing my job, I looked at the barcode and I saw the numbers 666 on the barcode! Coincidence? I don't believe so! 

Remember John was given a revelation of things to come, so he saw the vision of this mark ON the right hand and ON the foreheads of people. This means that people will have a choice where they receive the mark, I believe that most will take it on their right hand, but there will likely be many who take it on their foreheads. And with a vast amount of men and women tattooed all over their bodies, receiving a lasered or stamped barcode on their hand or forehead will be just another tat!

So just like the barcodes on products, a scanner will be able to scan the barcode on the right hand or the forehead. All the technology the man of sin and the false prophet will use has already been implemented in our daily lives!

Without this mark no one will be able to buy anything or sell anything, which means that Christians will have to be provided for by God Himself! Because as we know the scripture clearly tells us that whoever receives this mark will be thrown in the lake of fire and their torment will last forever and they will have no rest day or night! A terrible judgment awaits those who do not obey the gospel of God!

Revelation 14:9-11

"Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

Check out this quote:

"The barcode opened the door (in fact, it not only opened it, it kicked the door down) to the "digital world". Everything is now a number. Everything gets a barcode. As someone truly said, "If it exists, bar code it". I remember when barcodes first started appearing. I began telling people back then, the barcode was preparing the world for 666: the Mark of the Beast. Was I ever laughed at. . . even by the Christians. I can still remember their laughing and ridicule, "You mean to tell me, everything is getting one of those "marks". You mean, I'll go even to the local "7-Eleven" and they'll have laser scanners and they'll scan these "marks". No way. It would be too obvious what was happening. Everybody would know the mark of the beast is coming".

But isn't it amazing 25 years later. . . and nobody gives the "mysterious" barcodes even a "second thought". (Is the barcode The Mark of the Beast 666? (av1611.org)

The first product to be scanned with a barcode on it was in 1974, and I don't think it will be very long before the first human being gets scanned with a barcode on the right hand or forehead. 

The choice will be yours!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Do You THINK You're OK?

 

The best mindset to have, is one that thinks you haven't arrived, you're not there yet, but you're pressing on for the prize. Even when God raises you up from the valley's and set's you on the mountain top, you should always remain humble and give ALL the glory to God!

Paul said we should not THINK more highly of ourselves than we should! Great advice!

Romans 12:3

"For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith."

It's a very slippery slope downward when you start thinking you're all that and a bag of chips! LOL 

Or even thinking and saying to yourself that, 'I'm ok, I do good things, I give to the homeless, I donate my time and money to charity' etc...... BUT the Lord said clearly, we can do all those things, but our HEARTS can still be FAR FROM HIM!

1st Corinthians 10:12

"Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall."

It is so important to stay humble no matter what situation we may find ourselves in! Because it's so easy to become prideful and arrogant, especially in positions of authority or when we have great wealth. 

Remember God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble!

In Jesus,

There Is Only ONE Way To Enter God's Kingdom!

 

John 14:6

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Are these scriptures clear? Is what Jesus said hard to understand?

How about these scriptures.

John 3:5

"Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."

I don't know about you, but when I read these scriptures with my current understanding of the written word of God, I believe exactly what they say!

Jesus told Nicodemus this, and He's telling us today, that unless you are born of water, (baptism) and the Spirit, (Holy Spirit baptism), you CANNOT enter the kingdom of God!

Unless you are born from above you cannot see or enter the kingdom of God! Amazing, isn't it?

So why don't the majority of preachers, preach this truth? And why don't so many professing Christians believe what Jesus said in the above two passages of scripture?

I didn't read Jesus saying, repeat this prayer with me to enter God's Kingdom. I didn't read just confess with your mouth and believe with all your heart and then you will enter the Kingdom of God. 

Are the scriptures in Romans 10:9 in conflict with John 3:5? Nope! All you have to do is read the scriptures in context and start asking questions and you will find the answer!

Like this question: Where did Paul get his gospel message from? 

Galatians 1:11-12

"But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ."

Now would Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit that lived inside Paul's soul, teach him a contradictory gospel? A message of conversion different from Jesus Himself!? Impossible!!!!!

This is exactly why Jesus told the Pharisees the kingdom of God is within you!

Luke 17:20-21

"Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

And the only way for God's kingdom to be within you, is to obey exactly what Jesus said! And if you do, then Jesus (The Son), The Father, and His Spirit will come to you and make their home within your soul! That is true conversion to Christ!

John 14:23-24

"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. 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."

Obedience to the teachings of Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation! The only way to see and enter the Kingdom of God!

In Jesus,

You Gotta Believe!

 

Mark 5:25-34

"Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”

But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

I can't say enough about the power of God that can be displayed in your life if you just believe that with God ALL things are possible!

As Christians we cannot live our lives in fear and shame, we must believe the word of God. We must hold on to the truths and promises of God that are written in the bible no matter our circumstances and no matter what is going on in the world around us. Prayer, belief and waiting on the Lord for His help and intervention is the key to living the supernatural.

Jesus is still the Chief Physician, He can heal you of anything if you believe He can and is willing to do so. He's waiting for you to reach out your hand to Him, to cry out to Him like Blind Bartimaeus did. He will answer you if you seek Him will ALL your heart!

Peter believed he could walk on water!

Matthew 14:25-33

"Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”

So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased."

We have to believe with all our heart that we can do what God says we can through His power, His strength, and His Spirit. Not doubting when we start to experience the supernatural, and not becoming afraid when God answers our prayers and opens doors for us to do His work. 

This is the end of the age and we are most certainly living in the time of sorrows, the beginning of birth pains, before Jesus returns. The four horsemen of Revelation are riding and God's judgments are upon the face of the earth. We must be faithful at this time and believe that God is going to intervene and help His people to overcome this world, the flesh and the devil. 

1st John 5:4

"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith."

In Jesus,

The Power Of Words! (Part 1)

 

When I was in fifth or sixth grade, there was an incident that happened that I believe hindered my growth and my life for many years.

I was like most kids my age 10 or 11 years old I can't remember exactly which, I didn't get into too much trouble, but I was rebellious and had a few visits to the principal's office. I can't recall what I did to get sent to the office when this particular incident happened, but I can vividly remember what was spoken to me.

During the course of this visit the principal of the school berated me, belittled me, and at one point said to me that, "I was nothing, and that I would never be anything, or do anything in life". That principle used his mouth and spoke those evil words and he effectively cursed me!

I didn't know at the time I was cursed by this man, but as I got older, I often wondered why I could never finish anything that I started. I barely graduated high school, and then I went into the National Guard when I was 18, I went through basic training and the schooling part, and even did the one week out the month for a while but when I had to do the two weeks in the field in the summer, I quit! And that got me AWOL'ED (Absent Without Official Leave) out of the military! 

Then I enrolled in a Junior College near my home, but I only went one day and quit that. I enrolled in another Community College and did half a semester and I quit that too! See the pattern! I had many jobs over a span of ten years or so and most of them I quit, I remember just walking out of a restaurant I was cooking at and leaving meat and chicken on the grill cooking! I just walked out the door and never went back! The power of a cursing word over your life is soul destroying!

It really wasn't until God blessed me with an anointed prophet for a wife that my life started to change, and it was only recently that the Holy Spirit reminded me of what happened to me as a young boy, and then I was able to renounce that curse of the principal and break any chains that bound me in Jesus name!

This is also what satan does to many African American people in this country and so-called minorities, evil words that are spoken over generations can curse and oppress an entire group of people because of their skin color, their ancestry, etc.... and only by the power of Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God can these curses be broken!

On the contrary, when God speaks a word, it's healing, its life, it's blessed, it's powerful, it's liberating to the souls that receive it!

Matthew 8:5-13

"Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.  But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.


Watch what you say to your spouse, your kids, your co-workers, your family members, and watch what you speak about other ethnicities and people groups who are different than you. Bless people don't curse them!

In Jesus,

IF You Love Me.........

 

John 14:15, 19-24

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.

“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. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

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. 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."

How many times have you said, 'I love Jesus', but have not obeyed His word? How many times have you said, 'I believe in Jesus', but have not done what He commands?

It's easy to say I love Jesus, I believe in Him, but when you are confronted with the truth of His word and you realize that you have not obeyed Him, it can be very hard to admit that you really don't love Jesus.

God desire's His children to be obedient, just as parents want their children to obey what they say. And when children don't obey, they have to pay the consequences for their disobedience. 

Obedience leads to blessings, salvation, the Love of the Father and the Son, the fruits of the Spirit being birthed in our souls. Obedience leads to eternal life with God.

On the contrary, disobedience leads to death (separation from God), it opens a door for satan to oppress our souls, it leads to self deception, it also leads to the wrath of God and ultimately being thrown in the lake of fire, if our names are not found written in the Book of Life. 

There is no other option if you really want to be a Christian and live a godly life, we all must obey the teachings of Jesus Christ and His commandments, and 1st John 5 tells us that His commandments are not burdensome.

1st John 5:1-3

"Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.  For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

The main point of the entire bible is Obedience! From Genesis to Revelation, from Adam to the Last saint who will enter God's kingdom, the call is to love and obey God and keep His commandments!

Even Solomon who was the wisest man who ever lived understood this truth and summed up the life of man in one sentence!

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil."

In Jesus,

A World-Wide Revival!

 

The Lord said to me this morning: "All Around The World"

I immediately understood that Lord was talking to me about the coming world-wide revival and outpouring of His Spirit throughout this world.

I had just spoken this to my wife two days ago and this was confirmation of the word I spoke to her, Hallelujah!

I told her that when the Azusa street revival happened, God came down in one spot and people from all over the world went to California to get their blessing and then they spread the gospel all over the world. This time God is going to pour out His Spirit all over the world and there will be millions of souls ushered into the Kingdom of God! The Lord will send forth His apostles to preach the gospel of the kingdom and the prophets will prophesy of the soon coming King!

Jesus told His disciples this word in Matthew 24:14

"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."

One of the results of this end time ministry and outpouring of God's Spirit is recorded in Revelation 7:9

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

This will be a glorious day for those who love the Lord, but for the wicked and ungodly, it will be days of hatred and anger, they will hate to see the joy of the Lord in His people and they will be angry when the Lord lifts up His bride to do His will on the face of the earth. 

The time is at hand!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Preparation!

 

Matthew 8:23-27

"Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

God uses real world situations to prepare His chosen for the work of the ministry. He uses everyday life to work out character issues that may be hindering us from growing. Normal activities that once were hard for us like making a simple phone call to take care of some household business, He makes doable through the power of His Spirit. 

God uses our spouses, our jobs, our children, our neighbors, the police, firefighters, and even the wind and sea to accomplish His work in us. He puts us through uncomfortable situations to see how we will respond to it, by the flesh, or by the Spirit? With faith, or fear?

It's not easy to do what is right all the time, every second of our lives, but that's what God desires, that's what Jesus did, and we can do it too! It takes effort on our part, crying out to God in prayer, fasting when necessary and asking the Holy Spirit to help us get through. There is always a Sinai Desert before we can see Mount Sinai itself! And then once we get there we still have to climb up!

This is God's process of preparation, the schooling of His Spirit, that can take decades for some, such as myself! There really is no other way to be prepared for true ministry and to be used of God we must go through the fiery furnace of affliction and be remade on the Master Potter's Wheel!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

A Family Needs Help!

Please join us in helping a dear brother in the Lord and Christian music producer, Zachary Engram. He and his family experienced a devastating fire to their home in Utica, New York, this past weekend. He and I (Tyrone) were just about to start working on a new song for the Lord when this fire happened. We are praying that they can meet their goal of only $3,000, to help with a first month's rent in a new home and food for their family. Whatever you can give will be much appreciated!

May God bless your generosity!

AND! (You NEED Both!)

1)  Matthew 3:11-12, Luke 3:16-17

"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

"John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire."

These scriptures are so important that I had to put it twice! He (JESUS) WILL baptize you (Fully Wet, Immerse, Overwhelm) with the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God Himself, Wind, Breath, Spirit) and fire (The spiritual fire of God, Burns off the impurities of the flesh and soul, Our God is a consuming fire).

Before I was baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire, I read those scriptures in Matthew and Luke with a carnal mind and I remember thinking, 'ok, Amen, that sounds spiritual, but what does it mean? What does it mean to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire? I read it and kept living my life without knowing what it really meant! I heard the pastor quote it numerous times but I never understood it! And neither did he!

This is exactly why Paul said the carnal mind CANNOT, CANNOT, CANNOT, understand the things of the Spirit! Why not? Because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED!

Noone can explain what it's like to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire, YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF NEO!

And if you haven't felt the definitive experience of God Himself entering your soul and filling you with Dunamis (Power from on High) that you cannot deny, and will be ACCOMPANIED by speaking in other languages (tongues), then you HAVE NOT been baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire. Read my post on John G. Lakes testimony of his baptism with the Holy Spirit and you can begin to understand the reality and manifestations that happens when you receive this gift from God. And He gives it to those who BELIEVE it is for us today. If you don't believe it, you WILL NOT receive it! And you WILL NOT be converted to Christ! 

2) John 3:5

"Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."

These words of Jesus should be crystal clear! But unfortunately for many professing Christians they are not, as they have been discarded by the carnal minded, and replaced with Romans 10:9-10. Did the scriptures Paul wrote to Roman believers, who were already converted to Christ actually replace all that Jesus and John the Baptist said about conversion? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

You cannot ENTER OR SEE the kingdom of God without being born from above. You must be baptized in water and with the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom for those on this earth. Jesus told the Pharisees, you will not look and say there is the kingdom of God, for the Kingdom of God is WITHIN you, (in your soul by the indwelling of God's Spirit). The reality of God's kingdom is in another dimension called Heaven, where God and all the other holy spirit beings dwell.  

Don't be deceived by the sinner's prayer, which is a good start, but not biblical conversion! Don't be deceived by the repeat after ME's! (Many Televangelists and mega-church preachers do this!) 

Don't be deceived by men or women telling you to just quote Romans 10:9-10, and then they tell you that NOW you are saved, and you are a Christian because you quoted those scriptures. Read the bible for yourself! ASK questions! ASK GOD to reveal the truth to you! He said that those who sought HIM with all their heart WILL FIND HIM! 

Don't accept the lies, deception, false doctrines, misinterpretations of scripture, and ulterior motives of overseer's who are just thinking about numbers, their career as a Pastor, and money to fill their pockets! 

It's time to wake up and receive the great blessings that God has for those who believe and OBEY HIM!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

The Wicked Lie In Wait For The Righteous!

 

Psalm 37:32-40

"The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him. The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the Lord, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a native green tree. Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him."

Do you trust God to save you from the wicked? 

We must trust God no matter what the situation looks like! He knows what we're going through! He knows when the enemy lies in wait for the righteous to pass by. The Lord will go before us and give us strength and peace to help us press on and walk through the valley of the shadow of death with our eyes fixed and focused on Jesus!

In God I Trust!

Tyrone

A Daily Lifestyle!

 

Luke 9:23

"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."

I've said this a few times before in posts over the years, but it has to be said again, THE CHURCH BUILDING IS NOT THE CHURCH!

How many times have we heard pastors say that, but then go and say this building is the house of God? Isn't that contradictory? Of course it is!

So just because you attend a service at a church building every Sunday or even mid-week service usually on a Wednesday, that attendance does not make you a Christian!  

That truth was made even more evident during the lockdown of the whole country and nobody could go anywhere except to the grocery store for the necessities of life. Everybody got sat down for months, and even crime decreased, I bet the police enjoyed the rest!

I believe that was a precursor to the coming days when Christianity will be outlawed, bibles will be confiscated, the internet scrubbed of all Christian content and there will only be house churches and Christians praying and worshipping God in their own homes because church buildings will be shut down or owned by the states and the government.

That is why the coming revival will prepare Christians for the inevitable appearance of the man of sin, who will implement laws that will cause Christians to go underground, like they're doing in China right now. This is also why now is the time to get the word of God in your heart, and the Spirit of God in your soul! 

Being a Christian is a daily lifestyle, a daily denial of the lusts of the flesh, lust of the eye, and ungodly habits that quench the Spirit and hinder the spiritual growth of those who are in Christ. 

The 1st century Christians met every day in the temple courts and ate together from house to house daily! How often does this happen today? A few believers may get together to watch a football game after church service, or go out to eat at a restaurant, but how about meeting together every single day? 

How many of us would get tired of another believer coming to our house everyday? It takes true genuine Love of God, the fruit of the Spirit and great grace to meet everyday and go to another believers house to eat, drink and fellowship daily. 

But that's exactly what many other organizations and religions do, they're always together, eating, talking, and enjoying life, while many Christians just say hello and goodbye, see you next week, to each other!

Acts 2:44-47

"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."

We WILL see these days again! It won't just be quoting scriptures but LIVING the REALITY of unity in the body of Christ, united in the faith by the Spirit of God!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Are You Following Man, Or Jesus?

 

Matthew 4:18-20

"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. Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him."

This is one of my favorite scriptures in the whole bible! It's the call of life, the call of change, transformation, and salvation. The Lord comes today just like He did two thousand years ago to men who had no clue what was about to happen to them. Jesus appeared suddenly out of nowhere and asked these ordinary and unlearned fishermen to follow Him, and He would make them fishers of men! 

So glorious is the call of God, so life-changing, eye-opening and enlightening for those who answer, it is absolutely priceless! Understand this clearly, there is no other way to become a pastor, an apostle or evangelist, unless you are MADE one by Jesus Himself, by His Spirit that enters your soul when you are converted to Christ.

Jesus said to these men, come follow ME and I WILL MAKE you fishers of men! Can seminary school make you a fisher of men? How about bible college? A master's degree in theology maybe? A doctorate in theology? What about coming up through the ranks of the clergy and being ordained by someone else? 

The answer to all of the above questions is a resounding NO! 

There is so much more involved in the making of a man or woman of God than intellectual knowledge of the bible. You have to first be made a disciple of Jesus, converted to Christ by being baptized in water and then baptized in the Holy Spirit by Jesus Himself. He does use men to make disciples, but even those He uses have to be made into vessels He can work through first before He can use them!

God has a pattern, a process, a way He does things, and He does not change! It's men and women who don't like doing things God's way that's the problem! So many don't like to wait on the Lord and go through the right door (Jesus), so they devise other ways to ordain themselves and teach themselves instead of going to the school of the Holy Spirit! And every time man tries to do what only God can do, it always falls short! 

If you want holiness, deliverance, power, wisdom and understanding, you have to go to the school of the Spirit, you have to go through the oil press of God, the furnace of affliction, the chastening and correction of the Lord. You need to go down to the Master Potters house and be re-made into a new creation on His potter's wheel. If you really want life, blessings, love, genuine joy and the salvation of your soul, you must do it God's way!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

The Real Matrix!

 

Isaiah 60:1-2

"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you."

Morpheus said this to Neo in the first Matrix movie, "The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us, even now in this very room, you can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television, you can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes, it is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth" 

Neo asked Morpheus, "What truth?"

Morpheus replied, "That you are a slave Neo, like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell, or taste, or touch, a PRISON FOR YOUR MIND. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

I'm here to tell you today that the Real Matrix is Darkness! Or Evil! Just substitute the word darkness for Matrix and you will have the real truth, that goes beyond the movie and reveals a spiritual truth that only those who have been enlightened by the Spirit of God can understand. I'm so amazed at how close the Wachowski's were to the true spiritual reality that exists in our world, although they likely were implying something else. But even though the truth can be hidden in plain sight, spiritual blindness can cause you not to see it! 

What is going to separate the people of God from those who will take the mark and ultimately lose their soul is the light and the glory of God that will be seen upon us. Remember Jesus said let the wheat grow with the tares, until the time of harvest, and you cannot tell a wheat from a tare, until both are fully mature! Then it will be obvious!

Jesus said those who believe in Me will NEVER walk in darkness but will have the light of life! That light is within true Christians and cannot be put out, it will shine forth in the darkness because the Kingdom of God is within us! This is why the first century Christians were martyred, because they would not deny their Lord, and the presence and glory of God emanated from their souls and filled the atmosphere with God's presence, and darkness will always hate the light!

So when you gather a group of Spirit filled Christians together what do you think will happen? More of God's presence fills the atmosphere and His glory cloud covers us! The exact opposite happens when you gather thousands of unbelievers full of darkness and evil, what do you get? A big cloud of darkness covering all the people!

The only way your eyes can be truly opened is to enter the Kingdom of God by being born from above, by being baptized in water and the Spirit of God. Jesus told Nicodemus, "You CANNOT SEE OR ENTER the Kingdom of God unless you are born from Above."  (John 3:1-7)

And one thing I know is that the devil and evil men cannot control God and what He wants to do, like pouring out His Spirit to wake up and help His people. God is in complete control of everything! And He knows everything!

Wake up people! While there is still time!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

They Didn't Know!

 

1st Corinthians 2:6-8

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

This scripture is an indictment of the depravity of the human mind without God. Human beings are capable of such barbaric cruelty, torture and crimes against each other that I'm amazed we haven't seen world war three yet! 

This is why Jesus said that if the days of the great tribulation were not shortened NO FLESH WOULD BE SAVED! That means the human race would annihilate itself, human beings would be extinct along with the dinosaurs!

Matthew 24:21-22

"For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened."

I'm also amazed at how God's own creation rejected Him when He came to this earth in bodily form through Jesus Christ. He came to His own, but His own received Him not! Amazing! How can this be?

Because of spiritual blindness, hard hearts and darkened minds, God's creation killed the Lord of Glory. I know it had to happen this way though, because if it didn't, we would have no way to be forgiven of our sins, have our souls saved, and reconciled back to God.

Jesus Himself said it on the cross, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." This is why true ministers of the gospel like Paul and the other apostles in the 1st century had to go through so much opposition and persecution when they preached the gospel. The people didn't understand that God was sending His servants to be ambassadors of Christ to help them become His children! But many didn't want it!

This is also why those who minister the gospel have to be filled with God's great love and the fruits of the Spirit in order to be able to minister and serve in these last days because of the level of evil that they face every single day!

We have to fight hard every day to remain connected to the vine and humble ourselves, not considering ourselves more highly than we ought, because it's very easy to miss Jesus when He comes to visit us, it's very easy to reject Him and the Spirit when we feel pricked in our hearts by His word, or a minister tells us we're wrong. 

Remember the word tells us that we could entertain angels and not know it! Humble yourself today so that you won't say on Judgement Day, I didn't know!

In Jesus,
