“A Word from God to the People of the World” (Given on 1/6/15)

God had me write down this message to share with as many as possible. If you have a beating heart and if you have ears to hear, this message is for you.

(Note: I tested this message (below) with the test of the spirits found in 1 John 4:1-4. These words in quotes are not my words, but God’s. All glory be to God!)

God said these exact words:

___________________________________

“My people, I AM your God. You must seek Me, and then you will find Me if you search for Me with all your heart. Seek Me and I will bless you as you do this. Come to Me and I will bless those who come to Me. I love you very much and I want you to seek Me with all of your heart. I love you. Come to Me and seek Me.

To the world I write this message. You have all turned away from Me, but if you come back to Me, I will bless you. If you will come to Me, I will bless you. If you will seek Me, then you will know that I love you.

I shall judge this world very soon. The Tribulation shall begin. I love you and want you to know My name. The devil, your enemy, is seeking to devour you, but if you turn to My Son, you shall be saved.

I, the LORD your God, have spoken.”

___________________________________

We are living in very serious times but God is very near those who call on Him.

If you love God, I encourage you to seek God about this message with all your heart. God will show you the truth if you seek Him with all your heart. God is full of love, but God is also Holy. He will not let sin and rebellion continue. Sin is an abomination to God. God calls all men everywhere to repent (turn away) from sin and seek Him. See Acts 3:19 and Proverbs 28:13-14 and 1 John 1.

I encourage you to seek God and to turn to Him with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Repent from any sin God convicts you about.

Psalm 37:27

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

Romans 6:16

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

IF YOU ARE SEEKING TO KNOW GOD, please read this message.

Ephesians 2:8-9  

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

God loves us so much that He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and shed His precious blood to pay for all of these sins. (Romans 5:6-11 and 1 Timothy 2:5-6 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-5).

If you repent (turn away) from your sins (Acts 3:19), and believe and confess aloud that Christ has done this for you (Romans 10:9-10), and have made Him your Lord and Savior (again Romans 10:9-10) you are saved.

Now seek God with all your heart. Seek to know Him and you will (Jeremiah 29:13).

John 17:3: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

Jeremiah 29:13: "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."


John 17:3: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

John 14:6: “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Acts 4:12: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

How to Be Set Free From Strongholds (Spiritual Warfare and being set free from the enemy)

How to Be Set Free From Strongholds

(Click photo to enlarge.)

Strongholds are present in each one of us, whether we know it or not. They are fortifications and castles that Satan, the enemy of God, has placed in our lives when we have given place to Satan. Satan is seeking to devour all who are born into this world (1 Peter 5:5-10). The devil seeks to ensnare Christians as well as non-Christians in the traps of sin. In this article, we will learn how to escape the snares of the devil.

God has put this article on my heart to share with you. The information presented in this article will help both you and your loved ones to get set free from Satan and to live uprightly with God. We will see what the Bible says about how to get free from these traps.

When a man or woman (or child) gives place to any given sin, legal ground has been given to the devil. This spiritual ground becomes land on which a spiritual castle or stronghold is built. Satan raises his flag and uses this stronghold as a point of attack. For example, if a man looks at a woman to lust after her, he sins against God (see Matthew 5:27-29) and a stronghold is immediately started. The stronghold can grow larger and expand if this person continues to give place to the sin of lust (or adultery or whatever it is).

There are many different kinds of sin in the world but we can sum up all sin as disobedience to God (1 Samuel 15:22-23, Romans 6:16, etc.). If we disobey God, we would be obeying Satan who hates God. Rebellion is serious to God.

1 Samuel 15:22-23 (bold / underline added)

22 And Samuel said, Hath 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 hearken than the fat of rams.

23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 

Rebellion can take many forms, but all sin is a type of rebellion (in one degree or another).

In Acts 5:29, Peter stood up to the ungodly religious leaders of the day who wanted him to stop preaching Jesus Christ. Acts 5:29: “Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” We must obey God rather than men (including our own flesh) and not disobey God.

If God convicts you about a sin, should you (a) ignore God’s conviction or (b) confess to God (not to a priest) that you have sinned and repent (turn away) from sin? The second question to honestly ask is: “What would God want me to do?” Would God want you to continue in sin?  

False Grace Exposed

(Click photo to enlarge.)

So many people today believe the false doctrine that once a person believes in Jesus and gets saved, he or she will never fall away from his (her) position in Christ. Nowhere in the Bible does it teach that. Scripture in the Old Testament and in the New Testament teaches that all sin eventually leads to death, eternal death (or separation from God).

Some of the many examples from the Old Testament include:

Ezekiel 33:13 (bold / underline added)

13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

Isaiah 3:10-11

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

11 Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

The New Testament has many examples. Here are just a couple:

Lust and the Consequences of Sin (What the Bible Says About Lust) (Internet Dangers)

  

Lust and the Consequences of Sin

Lucifer Becomes Satan

Today, many people have heard in the news about rape, violence, and murder. Often, these go hand in hand. These horrible actions are the results of giving place to sin in various forms.

Sin is an abomination to God and it is really a form of rebellion. It started with God’s highest ranking angel, Lucifer. Lucifer was the director of Heavenly worship (as can be found in Ezekiel 28:13-14). Not content with his high position, he wanted to be worshipped as God.

Isaiah 14:12-15

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Lucifer (meaning “Light Bearer”) was cast out of God’s holy kingdom and his name was changed to Satan (meaning “Deceiver”). Satan wanted to get revenge. How humiliating it was to be defeated by God’s angels. He came to the Earth where God had just created man, named Adam, in God’s image.

Eve, who God created from a rib God had taken from Adam’s side, was in the garden minding her own business when a serpent (possessed by Satan) came her way. At that time, serpents could walk and did not slither (see Genesis 3:14).

Satan’s Deception

Satan, in the serpent, saw the opportunity to deceive Eve and lead her to rebel against God. At this time, there was no sin. Adam and Eve were perfect and sinless, but they still had a free will. Genesis 3 describes man’s downfall.

Genesis 3

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Adam and Eve knew that God had told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When they did, in rebellion against God, they were given the ability to discern good from evil. With knowledge of sin, they felt exposed and vulnerable. They wanted to hide and cover themselves as if doing so could hide their sin. But, God was not fooled. He knew what they had done.

God confronts the rebellious couple and declares what the consequences of their sin will be. Adam will have hard labor to provide for his daily needs. Eve will have difficulty in child-bearing. In addition, they both will not live forever (in their present bodies), but will age and die.

God then tells the serpent that he will crawl on his belly and eat dust. God also tells the serpent (or Satan):

Genesis 3:15 (bold added)

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Jesus Christ (who came in the form of a man to pay for our sins) is the seed of the woman who bruised or crushed the serpent’s head, which is a fatal blow to Satan. Through Jesus Christ, as our Savior and Lord, we are able to conquer and overcome temptation.

Now, Satan was not finished with Adam’s race. He wanted to destroy ever son or daughter of Adam he could and he still does (that includes you and me). Satan is crafty and subtle, like a snake. He tempts us where we are weak. Because of our fallen, sinful nature, Satan (or his minions) can tempt us to lie, cheat, hate, or steal.

Another sin Satan tempts us with is lust, or sexual desire. This is a topic that all people have to face. It is not comfortable to talk about and it is not easy to deal with because sin can be very tempting.

The Bible, God’s Word, is very clear about the results of lust. The book of Proverbs warns about lust throughout it. The author (including the Holy Spirit) knew this is important).

The Strange Woman and Temptation

Proverbs 2:10-16 says that God’s wisdom will deliver a man from wicked men and also from a strange woman (or an adulterous woman).

Proverbs 2:16-19 says:

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

This strange woman’s house “inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.” What is this death, verse 18 speaks of?
