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,

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,

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!

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,

Tyrone

Fruit Bearing Is The Goal!

 

John 15:16-17

"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another."

I say to you again THIS TRUTH: The ultimate goal of every true Christian is to bear fruit! It is to become LIKE our Master, JESUS THE CHRIST! He is the Captain of our salvation, and it's God's desire to bring many sons to glory, through the shed blood of His only Begotten Son.

The religious leaders of today do not help believers to come into a saving knowledge of their soul, nor are they made disciples of Jesus, or converted to Christ. They just say come as you are, but the multitudes STAY AS THEY ARE! They are not changed where it matters the most, INSIDE THE HEART AND MIND!

And why not you ask? Because they are taught to just confess the name of Jesus, and Just believe or accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and then you are saved! Can anyone please show me where it says that in scripture! Many quote Romans 10:9, but Paul was talking to Christians who were already converted! Those scriptures ARE NOT the roadmap to salvation!

Sure, it's great to hear the word, believe what you heard, and then confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, but you still need to OBEY the words of Jesus and His apostles by being baptized in water by full immersion and then baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire, by the Lord Jesus Himself! And this baptism is evidenced by speaking in other tongues!

My point being that without full and complete conversion to Christ by being born from above by water and Spirit, you cannot enter the kingdom of God, therefore it's not possible to Bear The Fruit Of The Spirit! If The Spirit Of God IS NOT IN YOU!

This is exactly why millions of professing Christians around the world have no power to overcome their flesh, the world, or the devil! You can always fake the fruits of the Spirit by doing good works, smiling all the time, giving to the homeless, sharing your possessions with others, you can show these outward displays of fruit but is it really the fruit of the Spirit birthed in your soul that cannot be hidden? Or how about when calamity strikes your home, your health, your finances, your family, your children etc... that is when what is really in our hearts comes out!

This is also why Jesus commanded His disciples to love one another, because then the whole world would know that they are His disciples, if they loved one another! The testimonies we read about in the book of Acts are clear examples of what love should look like in the body of Christ. Meeting together daily, eating together often, sharing the word of God with each other, giving up possessions and finances to help each other! That is love! And that is a fruit of the Spirit!

John 15:5-8

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Endued With Power!

 

Luke 24:49

"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.”

Oh to be endued with power from on high! To be given physical and spiritual strength by God Himself through His Spirit is absolutely priceless! There isn't enough money in the world that could by this gift of God. Simon the sorcerer wanted to buy it and possess the power that had been given to the apostles for the work of the ministry, but Peter rebuked him!

Acts 8:18-20

"And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!

There is no way possible to live as an overcomer in this world without being given power from above! There will be no display of the Spirit and the power of God by any man, woman, or child without first being filled with the Spirit of God! Jesus told His disciples to wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are given power from on high. 

Why don't people wait on the Lord for power from above before they go out into the world as missionaries? And why don't they wait for power before they decide they want to be a pastor? And why don't they wait for the power before they get up in front of hundreds and thousands of people and start preaching, and proclaiming things that don't happen?

It shouldn't be too hard for people to discern what's going on when a man or woman gets up and says you are going to be healed tonight, but by the end of the service you are still sick, or in a wheelchair, or still walking on one leg!

What happened after the apostles were endued with power from on high? The word of God tells us that they went out and preached with signs and wonders following, confirming the message preached, so that men's faith would not rest on men's wisdom but on the power of God!

So many voices speaking, and yelling, many pastors jumping around, and putting together magnificent and mind-blowing sermons, but at the end of the day it all remains just words that were spoken and not one confirmation of the message preached by the Lord or the Spirit of God! Why not?

The scriptures tell us clearly why not! It's so important to wait on the Lord! To wait for your ministry from God Himself, to wait to be sent out into this ungodly world! To wait for instructions from Heaven, to wait for open doors to minister and preach God's word, wait for the Lord to approve and commend you, wait on the promises of God to be fulfilled in your life. In the scriptures every single time a man or woman did not wait on the Lord, it led to some serious consequences.

Seek the face of the Lord, and wait on Him, so that you too can be endued with power from on high!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Those Who Know Their God Will Be Strong!

Daniel 11:32

"but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits."

We are human beings, we have limits, we have weaknesses and frailties. We are born disconnected from God with a carnal nature, easily influenced by the devil and the desires of our flesh. 

Only by the supernatural power of the Living God through His Spirit, can we be born from above and reconnected to God. Only by His strength and grace can we overcome this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. We must be remade in the image of Christ, we must be transformed (literally) by the renewing of our minds, there is no other way for a Christian to live in this world but by the power of God!

We must understand that in order to be strong in the Lord we have to become weak! We have to surrender our souls to Jesus, we have to surrender our time, our schedules, our talents, our finances, everything that makes us who we are in this world has to be laid at the foot of the cross! Jesus said, "Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed, but if it DIES, it produces many seeds!" When we are weak then God will be strong in our lives!

It's the exact opposite of how the world and those who love the world operate. The world's motto is, 'only the strong survive', 'whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger,' 'we're proud Americans, Europeans etc...... it doesn't matter what natural disaster hits, we will rebuild!', 'Hey, it's every man for himself', the list goes on.

The word of God says, 'when I am weak, THEN I am strong', 'submit yourselves one to another, out of reverence for Christ', 'If you are persecuted for Christ's sake, then blessed are you', 'Humbe yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up', 'Love one another, by this all men will know you are my disciples if you have love for one another.' We cannot trust in the arm of the flesh, but in the power of God to save, sanctify, protect, provide, and help us in our everyday lives on this earth!

There will always be Goliaths until Jesus returns and sets up His kingdom on this earth, and as Christians we will have to face Goliath, but not in our own strength, because apart from Jesus we can do nothing! We have to face Goliath in the name of Jesus! With the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

We will have to face Goliath with the fruit of the Spirit birthed in our hearts, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faith, and self-control. That's really the whole purpose of being a Christian, it's to bear the fruit of the Spirit in our hearts! Not go out and make disciples! Jesus called the apostles, and evangelists to go out and preach the gospel to all nations, not every single disciple that enters into God's kingdom is called to go out and make disciples! That's why Paul said, 'are all apostles?', 'are all prophets?', no they're not! Fruit bearing should be the first priority of every soul converted to Christ! 

As the world grows harder and harder, and farther from God, those who know their Lord and Savior draw closer and closer to Him, the One who is able to save our souls to the uttermost! We draw closer to Him who holds the keys of death and hell, Jesus the Christ! Many will face even death as martyrs for Christ in these last days, but we will not leave this earth in weakness and fear, but in victory and faith!

I know the Lord will pour out His Spirit again because He told me so, it's just a matter of time and preparation. He will send His apostles and prophets once more to walk this earth again, to prepare the way for His coming. This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in ALL the world as a witness, that means boots on the ground! In every nation on this earth the gospel will be proclaimed, and no one will have any excuse on judgment day, they won't be able to say I didn't hear it.

And in order to stand and face Goliath we will have to be STRONG IN THE LORD! Able to stand against the hatred of the enemy and those who hate God and the name of Jesus. We will have to be strong in the face of opposition and those who right now consider the gospel hate speech. But we will not face Goliath divided, oh no! All God's people will be unified by the Spirit of the Lord, we will be separated from this world, and we will love one another, and by this ALL will know that we are disciples of Jesus!

True signs and wonders will be done by God through the hands of the apostles and prophets in the midst of the people, like it was in the first century, and the Azusa Street revival. Yes, we will face Goliath, but not with guns, violence, and protests, but with the belt of truth around our waist, with the breastplate of righteousness on our chest, and the helmet of salvation on our heads, and the shield of faith in our hands.

Ephesians 6:10-17

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Light And Darkness IS A Substance!

 

Matthew 6:22

“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

So Jesus was basically saying, your eyes can be like a flashlight, when you turn them on, they can light up the whole room you are in, the whole house you live in, or even your workplace! You can be the light in the midst of gross darkness, you can be that one shinning a great light, while all around you other souls are walking in darkness. 

If Christ is in you by the indwelling of the Spirit of God, then the Holy Spirit WILL cleanse and sanctify your whole body, from the top of your head, to the soles of your feet, and you can become completely holy! Which means that after the Spirit's work you can be like John the Baptist, or Jesus Himself! 

You can be holy if you desire holiness in your inmost being, if you live a daily life of discipleship and separation from everything in this world. And holiness means that your body, soul, and spirit has no evil, or darkness in them at all! The same way Jesus and John the Baptist were, when they walked this earth!

Jesus is saying that if you indulge your flesh in the things of this world, you will by nature, become full of darkness. If you watch ungodly movies, become addicted to pornography and the like, your eye's will become evil. Meaning whatever you watch that is evil has the ability to actually enter your body through your eyes! You are actually feeding your soul on the evil you are watching!

Even evil spirits that are in other people, like your boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse can also enter you! Remember satan is the prince of the power of the air, he is a spiritual being, and so are evil spirits, you can't see them, but they can enter you, if you have open doors, and fill your body with evil and darkness!

On the contrary, if you are full of light and God's substance, which is His grace, you can fill the atmosphere with God's presence! Remember that the body with the Spirit indwelling the soul is the Temple of God! So that wherever you are, there God is! There the church is!

So you can become like Christ, full of light, grace and the fruits of the Spirit, radiating and emanating God's presence every single day, and changing your house, your environment, your workplace, the church building you attend services at, and even the city you live in! And if enough Spirit filled Christians live or gather in one place, imagine the power of God that can be unleashed!

But if you are filled with the substance of satan, which is darkness and evil, then your life will be unprofitable for God, and you will not be able to do anything that's of value to the kingdom of Heaven, and ultimately you will lose your soul.

So do you want to be full of light or darkness? Another choice to be made!

In Jesus,

You Can't Beat God!

 Acts 5:38-39

"And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”

I think it's obvious when God is not truly doing a work through a man or woman, in a city or nation. Because when God truly makes a move there is supernatural power involved, there is chain breaking and bondage taking, divine power at the center of it.

When God does something it's big! It's not hidden, it's not men screaming and yelling, kicking or punching people, or pushing them down when you lay hands on their heads. When God is working, many times you never even have to come near a person, God does the work by His Spirit, His angels, and His grace. Supernatural spiritual work that the human eye cannot see!

I've read about or watched on Youtube many so-called revivals and outpourings of God, only to see them disappear after a few months or a year. After Jesus went back to Heaven and poured out His Spirit on His disciples and apostles on the day of Pentecost, the supernatural ministry works of the Apostles and Evangelists lasted at least twenty years or more! 

When God truly makes a move it shakes up the world and satan and his workers of evil quickly rise up to oppose it and do everything they can to discredit it. They did it in the first century when they persecuted the first Christians and put them to death by the sword, feeding them to the lions, beheading them and generally trying to make their lives as hard as possible.

The same thing happened at Azusa street in California when God used William Seymour in the midst of the worst segregation in America, during the time of Jim Crow laws. God poured out His Spirit and over the span of ten years, this revival shook up the world! The local newspapers called it a weird new sect with people speaking in a babel of tongues. William Seymour said, "With apostolic revival, comes apostolic persecution."

There will be another great outpouring of God's Spirit and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the world will hate Christians for the sake of Jesus and the truth of the gospel, but God will always oppose the proud and give His grace to the humble. When God does this work, it will not be stopped until the return of King Jesus! 

Who's side will you be fighting on? God's or satan's? We all know the outcome of this story, God wins!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

The Foolishness Of Preaching!

 

1st Corinthians 1:20-21

"Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

Preaching the good news of the Kingdom of God and warning people of the judgment to come is foolishness to so many! Especially the wise and learned of this world, like politicians, government officials, scientists, the rich, and CEO's. They think they have more important things to do than listen to a gospel message being preached about the Kingdom of God and the salvation of their souls. In actuality there isn't anything else more important in the world than hearing a message that can give you eternal life if you believe!

And that's the whole key to the gospel, it's believing the message that you hear and responding to it, with repentance, a change of heart and mind, and a change of your ungodly lifestyle. But so many just brush off the messenger, blank them out, turn their backs and walk away, or call them brainwashed or religious fanatics, Jesus freaks, hypocrites, crackpots, etc...

Jesus said Himself, blessed is the one who hears these words of mine and DOES THEM! You have to respond to the message in order to receive the benefits and blessings of the promises of God! Otherwise the message will be just words on a page or words out of the mouth of the messenger. It's so easy to just ignore the message and close your ears to the voice of God and not allow His word to enter your heart.

That's why God chose the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. It seems very foolish to go out on a street corner and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to whoever will listen, but that's all we have isn't it? Words; to believe or not to believe, to accept the message or reject it, that's called free will, and God never forces anyone to believe the message, it has to be a choice made by each individual person.

It's like the Covid vaccination, you have a choice to take it or not, but then you have the government saying take it and protect yourself, your family, and those around you. But if you're a Christian, the scripture tells us that our bodies are the temple of God in which He dwells by His Spirit. So it's my choice what I put inside my body, not the government's choice, regardless of what anybody says about me or to me!

It will be the same with the mark of the beast, you will have a choice to take the mark and be a part of the world, buying and selling and remaining in the system of man, or not taking it and trusting God for your protection, provision, and salvation. The choice will be yours to make! And the scripture is crystal clear about what will happen to those who take it!

If you listen to the message preached by an anointed man of God, sent by God to proclaim His word, it will change your life, if you don't listen you will never change! Because there is no other way for a soul to be saved, healed, delivered, and transformed into the image of Christ unless they receive and believe the good news of the Kingdom of God! 

The Choice Is Yours!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Do You Have A Carnal Mind? Or A Spiritual Mind?

 

Romans 8:5-9

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

The truth cannot be sugar coated! It doesn't matter what you're told by a pastor, or whoever is overseeing a congregation of people. If you are in the flesh you CANNOT please God, and you will not submit to God, period! 

Oh you can deceive yourself and call yourself a Christian because you attend church services every Wednesday and Sunday, but I'm here to tell you, that if you have not been been baptized in water and the Holy Spirit, with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues then you are NOT a Christian! You are none of His!

The above image is totally accurate, if you are truly a Christian and you are feeding your carnal nature daily with the world by watching ungodly movies, T.V. shows, addicted to porn, sports, movie stars and entertainers you are in the flesh! Repent while there is still time! 

The more you feed your soul evil, the more evil and hard hearted you will become, the more you feed your soul on Jesus, the more like Jesus you will become! 

Colossians 3:1-7

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them."

It's hard to let go of your life in the world, it's not easy to separate yourself from all that's in the world, but you can do it by the power of the Spirit of God! It's not easy to say no to friends and family members who want you to be a part of ungodly activities, but the Spirit helps us to say NO to the flesh, the world and the devil!

But the key to having a spiritual mind is to SET your mind on things above, heavenly things, through prayer, fasting, bible study, and seeking God's will, you can overcome the carnal nature and mind! God will give you a new spirit, He will wash your soul, and He will cleanse, heal, and strengthen your body. He will purge your conscious from all dead works so that you can serve Him and love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength!

Is your mind carnal or spiritual? Be honest with yourself! Time is running out!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

You Can't Hide From God!

 

Jeremiah 17:10

"I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings."

The Lord knows all, see's all, and nothing is hidden from His sight, even darkness is like light to God!

Psalm 139:11-12

If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

Sin is deceptive, the more you commit, the harder you become and you think it's ok, everyone else is doing it, so why can't I?

But you will certainly reap what you sow!

Galatians 6:7-8

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."

When Jesus returns people will cry out to the rocks and mountains to fall on them and save them from the wrath of the Lamb.

Revelation 6:14-17

"Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Jesus is now a Spirit being, with a glorified body, and if He could just appear in a locked room to His disciples after His resurrection from the dead, He can most certainly enter a deep underground bunker that men have built to save themselves from a nuclear war or an asteroid hitting the earth. And so can His angels!

There is no place that a man can go where God does not see!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

What Is the Root Problem Of Human Beings?

 

Genesis 3:11-13

And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

We all know this story very well, and from the beginning, to this day, the root problem of human beings remain. DISOBEDIENCE!

What is the first word most children learn when they are able to speak? NO! 

That should tell us something right there! And from our first words all through life we see the sin of disobedience in our lives and in the lives of our closest friends and family. And then when we have children of our own, they continue the cycle and we see ourselves in our children, doing the same things we did and becoming more disobedient than we were!

How can we stop being disobedient? The only way is JESUS!

Jesus is the only One who can deliver us from evil, forgive us of our sins, baptize us with the Holy Spirit, and walk with us as we go through the many stages of growth as a Christian.

Another clear example of what happens when we disobey is the story of King Saul in 1st Samuel. God sent His prophet Samuel to Saul and gave him direct commandments to perform, but Saul did not obey the word of the Lord. He did some of what God said, but not all, therefore God rejected Saul as King. We can't just do some of God's commands and leave some out and then think we are obeying, we must do everything God commands us!

1st Samuel 15:10-11, 17-23

"Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, “I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.”

"So Samuel said, “When you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of Israel? And did not the Lord anoint you king over Israel? Now the Lord sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’ Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Why did you swoop down on the spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord?”

"And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”

"So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.”

Saul contradicted himself as he spoke, saying he obeyed the voice of the Lord, BUT, he brought back Agag and allowed his soldiers to bring back the best sheep and oxen to sacrifice to the Lord. He disobeyed the direct commandments of God and he paid the consequences of it!

Isn't it better to obey ALL the Lord says?

The choice is yours!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

The Choice Is Yours!

 

2nd Corinthians 5:9-10

"Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."

The scripture tells us we must ALL appear before the judgement seat of Christ! Every single soul that has lived or will live WILL BE JUDGED! You can't run from it, you can't hide from it, you will have to face the KING, whether you are a Christian or not, regardless of your beliefs, you will have to give an account of your life on this earth.

This is why God made man with free will, you can choose to do wrong or right, you can choose to obey His word or not, but in the end when your immortal soul leaves your fleshly body, you will cross over into the spirit realm, and where you go from there will be according to the choices you made while your soul inhabited skin and bones, and breathed air everyday. 

The word of God tells us that it's not God's will that ANY should perish, but that ALL come to repentance (changing of your mind)  that their soul may be saved! But again the choice is yours!

2nd Peter 3:9

"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

It's so sad that many today don't care what happens to them, because they are so depressed, broken, poor, or sick. But then on the other hand, you have the wealthy who trust in their riches and their intellect or their status, but don't realize they need Jesus just as much as the homeless man or woman living in a cardboard box!

The word of God tells us that the rich and the poor will be judged, the small and the great will stand before the throne of God! 

Revelation 20:13

"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."

You must understand that God supernaturally preserved His word so that we would know His laws and commandments, so that we would choose to do what is pleasing in His sight, what is good and right. Make no mistake, there will be no escape from the day of judgement, and EACH ONE will be judged according to his works! What you do with your time, your money, your mind, and your body, while you are upon the face of this earth, because after you take your last breath and your silver cord is loosed, there will be no coming back.

The choice is yours!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

How Will You Respond When God Comes Down?

                        

The two pictures above are the mountain peak of Jabel Al Lawz in Saudia Arabia. Many believe this is the real Mount Sinai that God Himself descended upon in fire and burned the top. Could evidence of this great biblical event still remain to this day? I believe so! 

You have to understand that the human mind cannot really grasp supernatural and spiritual occurrences happening on a daily basis. To read about these things in the bible are one thing but to experience them in the natural is completely another! 

When God descended upon Mount Sinai the scripture tells us.

Exodus 19:16-18, 20:18-21

"Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly."

"Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.” So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was."

There was a popular Christian song by Jesus Culture feat. Kim Walker-Smith called "Show Me Your Glory." One line of lyrics say: "I see the cloud, I step in, I want to see Your glory like Moses did Flashes of light, rolls of thunder, I'm not afraid I'm not afraid...Show me your glory...."

Now in light of what the word of God says, do you think that you're going to see the cloud and just step in? Do you think that you're not going to tremble and be afraid, if you looked up in the sky and saw a thick black cloud forming with great flashes of lighting, ear shattering rolls of thunder, and a VERY LOUD trumpet sounding from Heaven?

That's why just singing a song about God or Jesus does not equal the REALITY!

All we have today is movies to help us visualize what it could have been like in reality, but when you experience something like this in the physical realm and see it up close and personal it WILL affect and CHANGE you in some way, at the very least you will know there is a supernatural LIVING GOD and Creator of Heaven and Earth who dwells in another dimension from our own and at the appointed times He intervenes in the lives of His creation and comes down to help His people.

When God came down after Adam and Eve sinned, what did they do? They ran and hid themselves in the trees! 

When God came down in the flesh as Jesus the Christ, the word tells us in John 1:11 

"He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him."

We keep crying out for revival but we must be prepared for God to come down, we must have our hearts and minds ready, to not only be loved and blessed by God, but also be judged and corrected by Him as well! 

When Jesus was born and His parents went into the temple, Simeon,  a just and devout man, was led by the Spirit into the temple as well and prophesied and said in Luke 2:33-35

"And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

Even the mother of Jesus was not exempt from the corrections and judgements of God!

When Peter saw the miracle that was done through Jesus, he didn't want Jesus to be around him.

Luke 5:5-8

"But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

How will you respond when God comes down?

In Jesus,

PRIDE (The destroyer of souls!)

 

Pride is so subtle, it makes you think you're self sufficient, you can do everything by yourself. It makes you believe that you don't need help, you're just fine, there's nothing wrong with you, and everything you do and say is right and it's everybody else who's wrong.

Pride will keep you from listening to great advice, whether it be from your parents, friends, your spouse, or God Himself! Pride and a haughty eye most assuredly comes before destruction. I myself was full of pride and even had an evil spirit of pride in me! I know this because one morning I heard the evil spirit cry out it's name, priiiiiiiiide, and I felt it leave me and go out the window! I praise God for His Holy Spirit who cast that devil out of me!

Pride can and will destroy your soul if you let it, and the only way to be delivered from pride is to humble yourself in the sight of the LORD! 

Psalm 10:4-6

The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts. His ways are always prospering; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he sneers at them. He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved; I shall never be in adversity.”

Pride is what brought down Lucifer, a covering cherub, that God created for His good pleasure. He became satan, a corrupted fallen angel, who has the power to deceive the whole world.

Ezekiel 28:17

"Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you."

That is what happens to many physically attractive men and women, they become so engrossed with themselves and their beauty, they become corrupt in the heart, and although their outward appearance may be appealing their inner self is very ugly!

As Christians we must fight the evil spirit of pride in every area of our lives. Don't resist correction, humble yourself when you realize you're wrong. Seek help from others, and offer to help them in return. Listen to advice from those who are more spiritually mature than you are, listen to those who are more experienced and learn from them. 

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and HE WILL LIFT YOU UP!

In Jesus,

Tyrone

The Wheat And Tares, More Insight!

 

Matthew 13:24-30

"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, ‘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.” ’ ”

This is one of my favorite parables and I wrote another blog some years ago on this topic, but I want to add a little more insight into this great parable.

Jesus explains the parable.

Matthew 13:36-43

"Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

1st Point: Jesus completely destroys the false teaching of a pre-tribulation rapture with this parable and the explanation of it.

2nd Point:  So many believer's THINK that being inside of a church building separates them from the world, and that they are somehow more spiritual and righteous than others. But again Jesus annihilates the false teaching of the Tares being outside the church walls, but the people gathered inside the building are the wheat.

Jesus said clearly, the field IS THE WORLD! He didn't say that you become His wheat because you go and sit inside a church building. Do you think that the devil can't come and sit right next to you inside that building? In fact he has done that for decades already, which is why many who profess Christ are powerless and without spiritual discernment. Witches, masons, false prophets and unconverted people sit inside the church building and say amen, sing songs, go up to altar calls and congregate with true believers, and they don't even know it! Many so-called pastors belong to the masonic order and other secret societies and get up into the pulpit every Sunday and oppress the souls of all who listen to them speak.

Paul said in the last days people would gather to themselves teachers to say whatever their itching ears want to hear! That prophecy is being fulfilled right now! What happened to preaching the truth of God's word and applying it? 

3rd Point: The wheat and tares look exactly alike UNTIL they are fully grown! You can't tell the difference between a witch or a mason and a spirit-filled believer sitting right next to each other! But once they are fully grown you WILL be able to tell the difference!

The face of Stephen was shining like an angel and everyone looking at him could see it!

Acts 6:15

"And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel."

The Lord said there will come a day when you will know who serves Him and who does not!

Malachi 3:16-18 

"Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name. “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.” Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him."

In Jesus,

Tyrone
