Supernatural Judgements!


 
The Lord said to me two times, "Sodom and Gomorrah"

Genesis 18:20-21

"And the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

The supernatural judgments of God are already happening in this world and many don't perceive it! Jesus said it would be like in the days of Noah and Lot, people eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and the flood came and swept them all away. And in Sodom and Gomorrah, as soon as Lot got to Zoar, fire and brimstone rained down on all the cities of the plain and destroyed them all. 

The wickedness of the men in Sodom was so bad they wanted to sleep with the angels! They were oblivious to the sudden destruction that was about to happen to them! 

I thank God for His Mercy in this hour, and I know that He is going to save millions of people before He pours out His wrath on the nations, and upon those who take the mark. Get in the ark while there is still time!

Do You Really Understand God's Judgements?

 



As I was meditating on the ways God judges His people and the world, I came to the conclusion that at the end of the day it's best to humble myself and surrender my soul to the One who can save my soul, even in the midst of HIS Judgements!

God's judgements begin at the house of God first, His people, so if it begins with us, what will become of the sinner and the ungodly! That's what the word tells us! God loves His children, but we all must undergo chastening, scourging, correction, discipline, and sometimes rebuke by the Lord Himself!

This is why the word of God says, "It's a terrible thing to fall into the Hands of the Living God!", but who else can we turn to in order to be saved? Like Job said, "Even though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him!" The word also tells us that if we endure chastening, the Lord deals with us as sons, and we will reap a harvest of righteousness if we don't give up!

This brings me to some of the ways God judges His people who sin or do wrong in His sight and how He judges the world and those in the world for His own purposes!

For instance when God brought His great Judgments on Egypt and Pharoah, it was God Himself who hardened the heart of Pharaoh so that he wouldn't listen to Moses and let His people go!

Exodus 7:21-23

"And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Israel is My son, My firstborn. So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn.” ’ ”

Do you understand what happened here? God is sending Moses to speak to Pharaoh to tell him to let my people go, but God Himself hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he wouldn't let the people go! I would have been like huh? But it's God's will, God's ways, God's Judgements!

And God did this with Moses and Pharaoh multiple times, all the way until the Red Sea crossing!

Exodus 14:1-4

"Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’ Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so."

GOD DOES NOT CHANGE! People change, cultures change, technology changes, presidents', popes, leaders, dictators, all change, but God remains the same forever!

Case in point, look what God Himself is going to do to those who do not love the truth!

2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12

"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

God even Judged Moses and Aaron himself after Moses did not do what God told him to do and dishonored Him before the people. Even though Moses was the most humble man that ever lived, saw God's glory, talked with God face to face, came down off the mountain after forty days and nights in the glory of God! 

God told Moses to speak to the rock and water would come forth, but Moses was angry with the people for rebelling against him and struck the rock twice with his staff.

Numbers 20:6-13

"Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. And the glory of the Lord appeared to them, and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the staff, and assemble the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water. So you shall bring water out of the rock for them and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.” And Moses took the staff from before the Lord, as he commanded him."

"Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?” And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, and water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock. And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe in me, to uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.” These are the waters of Meribah, where the people of Israel quarreled with the Lord, and through them he showed himself holy."

Many do not really understand the supernatural Judgments of God, He is absolutely in control and His word will be fulfilled! The best thing to do for any Christian is to humble themselves under the Mighty Hand of God. And in the end the word tells us that EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue will confess that Jesus Christ IS LORD!

Next Up? A.I.



So here we are! The age of A.I. is dawning and robots are now becoming more of a reality everyday. Chat GPT, self driving cars, automated machines making products, A.I. producing songs and sounding like human commercial artists, and the list goes on. Daniel prophesied about these times in Daniel chapter 12.

Daniel 12:1-4

“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Hasn't knowledge increased at an alarming rate? Look at how fast they came up with a vaccine for Covid-19! You can't get used to one form of technology before they come out with something else! We are living the prophetic words of scripture right now! 

The question is, are you ready for what's next?

Blessings!

Come Out From Among Them!

 


You would have to be very blind not to see what's happenning in society today! The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled every single day! We are living in the times of sorrows, the beggining of birth pains before the second coming of Jesus Christ to this earth. 

The Lord recently said to me twice, "Sodom and Gomorrah", and we all should know what the Lord was saying with that! This world, this country of America and millions of people who populate this earth are given over to false religions, hedonism, a reprobate and depraved mind, given over to the lusts of their flesh and thinking evil continually. Much as it was in the days of Noah, just as Jesus prophesied it would be in the end times!

The Lord also said to me, "The Stench Is Putrid", what this means is that the smell of evil coming up to the nostrils of God from sinful human beings and a corrupt earth is beyond stinking! 

Putrid means: (of organic matter) decaying or rotting and emitting a fetid smell.

Have you ever smelled the stench of a slaughterhouse? It's terrible! It fills the whole atmosphere surrounding it! You can smell it from miles away!

This is exactly why God calls us OUT of the world! He wants us to be cleansed in our souls, washed by the blood of Jesus, purged of dead works and evil thoughts in our mind. The Lord wants us to be completely separated, and set apart from this world and everything in it, the ideologies, the lifestyles, the entertainment. God wants us to be made into the image of Christ and become a NEW Creation in Him!

This is why Paul said in Romans 12:1-2

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

God wants His people to THINK differently, ACT differently and LIVE differently than those who are in and of this world! And how can this be possible while still living on this planet? By the power of HIS HOLY SPIRIT that's how!

John 15:18-19

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."

Those in the world end up hating real Christians because of the fruits of the Spirit in our souls, the presence of God that surrounds us and our holiness. Christians are called to be separate and to follow and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ, like "love your neighbor as yourself", "do unto others as you would have them do to you", "love your enemies". 

What true Christians can become is exactly what God intended for human beings to become in the beginning when He made them, and do you know what that is? To become LIKE HIM! Full of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfullness, Righteousness, Holiness, Truthful, Merciful, Obedient, serving one another, sharing and caring for one another, helping one another, living together in perfect unity!

All of the above characteristics and fruits of the Spirit are attainable while we are ON this earth! Not when we all get to Heaven as the song says! We can become LIKE CHRIST right now! Jesus was our perfect example, if He could do it as a man who walked this earth, so can we!

2nd Corinthians 6:4-18

"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. 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.”

The Choice Is Yours!

In Christ Jesus,

The Power Of Words! (Part 2)



As we know, words definitely have power. They have the power to start world wars, to tear down kingdoms and to build them up. Words have power to destroy souls and curse generations of families. 

As Christians we must learn how to build one another up as the scriptures tell us and not tear each other down to prove our point or to be considered 'right'. We must learn to choose our words carefully and to have the words that we speak seasoned with the grace of God. How is that possible? By having our hearts and minds cleansed of all unrighteousness by the blood of Jesus. We must become new creations of God, transformed by the renewing of our minds, conformed to the image of Christ Jesus, and established by the word of God in our hearts.

It was God's word that formed the Heavens, the earth and everything in it.

Psalm 33:6-9

"By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast."

In contrast, satan, a fallen angel who rebelled against God and was cast down out of Heaven, deceived Eve, with evil words that she listened to which led to the corruption of her mind and she in turn, enticed her husband, causing them both to sin by disobeying the direct commandment of God.

Genesis 3:1-7

"Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings."

satan, who is completely evil and has the power to deceive the whole world, spoke a few sentences that brought down humanity and caused us all to suffer corruption, a cursed earth, and disconnection from God at birth, being born with a carnal nature, prone to sin.

This is why Jesus said it's what comes out of a man that corrupts him, for out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks!

What do you talk about all day long? What do your friends talk about? Your spouse? Your children?  Pay attention, because that's what your heart is full of! Is your heart full of the wisdom and words of God or is it full of the world and the things of this world? 

We know what James said about the tongue!

James 3:5-12

"Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.

See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of  iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh."

Be careful what you speak to yourself and others! Words have power!

In Christ,
Tyrone

Just For You




Some words that God speaks to you are just for you and no one else! Like what happened to Paul on the road to Damascus.

Acts 9:1-7

"Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one."

When the Lord has a word for you it doesn't matter where you are or who is around you, the Lord can speak directly to you and change your whole life! Notice that the men who went with Paul to Damascus just stood there speechless, the light didn't shine around them, only Paul. The men heard a voice, but what the Lord was speaking was just for Paul, not them!

And when Paul was recounting his testimony to the people of Jerusalem when he was arrested, they didn't want to hear it! They called for his death! His experience with Jesus was just for him, you can't make others believe your testimony or experiences, because each person has to have their own unique experience with God in order for them to develop a deep faith and trust in the Lord!

Acts 22:6-11, 17-22

“Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me. And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’ So I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’

“And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.  So I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’ And since I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.

“Now it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance and saw Him saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.’ So I said, ‘Lord, they know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believe on You. And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.’ Then He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”

And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live!” Then, as they cried out and tore off their clothes and threw dust into the air, the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and said that he should be examined under scourging, so that he might know why they shouted so against him.

Something to consider here, I found a discrepancy between Acts 9:7 and Acts 22:9. 

Acts 9:7 says: "And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no
 one."

Acts 22:9 says: “And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me."

Which testimony is true? Did the men who journeyed with Paul hear a voice but didn't see the light? Or did they see the light but didn't hear the voice of Jesus? Hmmmmm, the Lord knows!

After Jesus was resurrected, He restored Peter by speaking to him three times, the same number of times Peter denied Him. 

John 20:15-22

So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.” This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”

Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”"

Jesus gave Peter a word that was just for him! God has something unique and personal for every soul that chooses to obey His word and follow His Son. The road to Heaven may not be easy, (Jesus said it is straight and narrow), BUT, you can make it with the help of His Spirit! You can overcome this world, your flesh, and the devil. You just have to be willing to let go of your life in this world and accept the life that God has for you, it's the only way that your soul can be saved.

The choice is yours!

In Christ,
Tyrone

Religion, Oppresses The Soul!

 



The world has religion and men started religion. Being a Christian is NOT a religion, Christianity IS a religion, just like Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Mormon, or Judaism. Did you know that Wicca is considered a religion? How about Neo-Paganism? Something to think about!

When Jesus called people to follow Him, He said, whoever wants to be my disciple must take up his cross daily and follow Him.

Luke 9:23-25

"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. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?"

Being a Christian or a follower of Christ is a lifestyle! It's an everyday self-denial and death to the flesh relationship with the risen King! If you practice a religion with its rituals and ceremonial traditions it will lead you into deception and oppression of your soul, (mind, body, and spirit).

Like the Pharisees in Jesus day, being religious will lead you to hypocrisy, erroneous thinking, hard heartedness, jealousy, envy, and the worst of all, PRIDE!   

Jesus told the Pharisees about themselves in Matthew 23:15, 27-28

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves."

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."

The same thing is happening right now in religious institutions worldwide! And the sad thing is, those who are the hypocrites, hirelings, and modern-day Pharisees are reading these same scriptures every Sunday, and nobody sees them for who and what they are! Would anybody really care if they were exposed?

This is why it's so important for believers to read the bible FOR THEMSELVES, and not depend on any man or woman to give them the truth. Two thousand years ago the Bereans in the bible SEARCHED the scriptures to see IF what Paul the apostle of Jesus said was true! So how much more should we be searching the scriptures, praying, fasting and calling on God for revelation and guidance in these last days!

Acts 17:10-11

"Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."

It's beyond time to stop just hearing the word, it's time TO DO WHAT IT SAYS! You will not receive the blessings and promises of God if you don't obey the teachings of Jesus! The traditions of men will keep your soul oppressed and cause you to THINK that you are in right standing with God just because you attend services in a church building and sing a few songs! But what did Jesus say?

Matthew 15:7-9

"Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”

Does anybody want to admit to themselves that they are hypocrites? I used to be a hypocrite myself! Going to church, singing songs, saying amen, etc.... but then I went out partying, getting drunk, sleeping around, and still calling myself a Christian, I didn't have a real relationship with Jesus, and I didn't know who God really was!

It's time to stop being religious and start living the daily lifestyle of a biblical Christian, a disciple of Jesus, only when we do that, will we begin to see the glory, power and grace of God in our lives!

In The Lord's Army!
