REPENT

Teaching,
Repentance is the only cure for our nation.

Repent of what? Rebellion.

The root of all sin is rebellion against God. Rebellion brings the curses that God has already pronounced against sin. God’s promises of blessings are to the obedient. God chose Abraham and his seed because He knew that Abraham would teach his children obedience to God’s Holy Covenant. Those descendants of Abraham that rebelled against God were “cut off” from being a people.

The Great Rebellion

The US of A, as a nation, experienced the Great Rebellion in the post WWII era. It led on into the present state of abortion, homosexuality, adultery and fornication, resulting in perpetual wars, plagues of disease, fire, floods, storms, famine and death. By rebellion against God, we are destroying ourselves!

The Great Awakening

How to stop the plagues? Repent!

What is ‘repentance’? It is making a full acknowledgement of our sin, a complete and total sacrifice of ourselves by surrender to God’s will. It is described Biblically as crucifixion of The Flesh and rebirth by the power of the Holy Spirit. I Corinthians 15:34: “Awake to righteousness and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak to your shame.” Multitudes in this US of A, with all of its Churches and religious rituals, do not even know That God requires REPENTANCE.

You Are What You Think

Teaching, , ,

“You are what you eat.” This cliché sounds simple enough, but actually is very true of our physical bodies. But Solomon, one of the wisest of men, said that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, (Proverbs 23:7). We are, spiritually, what we think in our hearts. This is profoundly true of our moral and spiritual life. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that we not allow evil thoughts to sicken and destroy our spiritual life, personal or national.

The daily newscasts are now exposing the prevalence of the violent and lustful nature of men in high positions, who are otherwise thought to be of sterling character. This is the direct result of the prevalence of lustful media, and entertainment that has dominated our culture in recent generations, not to mention the availability of pornography. Their minds have been filled with it and so they have become what they have allowed in their minds.

The Tsunami

This evil flood has come to prominence under the guise of “freedom of speech” but is actually the invasion of wicked and profane babblings into our homes, schools, and even some ‘churches.’ The Church, the Body of Christ, must rise up in the Holy Spirit to stop this tsunami of evil and to reclaim the powers of the air for Christ and His Kingdom!  The violence, crimes, and all manner of evil come from that which is put into the minds of the people.

Healthy Thoughts

We cannot allow the powers of darkness to poison the airwaves and hence the minds of the people with vile and ungodly thoughts. We can and must control what we allow our minds and those of our children to dwell on. Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Is It Impossible?

If we can control the purity of the food and drugs which are allowed in this nation, can we not also control the poison of immorality of every kind that is allowed on the airwaves and streets of our nation? Yes and no. This can only be done through the power of the Holy Spirit of God working through a holy people united in His Divine Body. It must be done – it is a matter of Life or Death.

Why the Book of Leviticus?

Teaching, , ,
Establish A Nation God’s Way

It was God’s will to live with His people from the time of the Garden of Eden, Genesis 2:8, all the way to the Book of Revelation 21:

Leviticus 26:11-12: “And I will set my tabernacle among you; and my soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.”

Revelation 21:3: “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people and God himself shall be with them and be their God.”

The Book of Leviticus is the account of God’s instructions to Moses on how to establish a nation under God.

But sadly, the original nation of Israel did not keep the order of the instructions given in the Book of Leviticus, but turned from their loving Creator to worship idols and commit all of the forbidden sins that brought destruction, disease, death, famine, pestilence, war, and all of the other consequences that were described in the Book of Leviticus. In their state of rebellion, God could not dwell with them. Their disobedience brought the promised consequences, as described by the Biblical books of their history and the prophets.

But still a Holy Nation Was Promised

But through it all, God was true to His promise that He, Himself, would send them a Savior, Who would save them from their sins and the consequences of their sins. This promise was fulfilled in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Although the fleshly, sinful nation refused Him and was finally destroyed in the destruction of 70 AD, God had raised up a new nation in Jesus, His Body, the Church, which, in Christ, fulfilled all of the requirements for a nation of people with which He could be pleased to dwell. In Christ, the law is written in our hearts and it gives us the intuitive, natural desire and motivation to fulfill the commandments of the law. The law is no longer grievous.

The Schoolmaster

The original specific laws and statutes and ordinances were necessary for law and order in the fleshly nation. These were designed to teach them:“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith, but after that faith is come we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”

The lessons to be learned from the “schoolmaster” are spelled out and made clear in the New Testament. For example, all of the Levitical ordinances of sacrifice are to teach us Romans 12:1: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.,”

Galatians 2:19-20: “For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I but Christ liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

 

The Broken Wall of Family and Home

Teaching, , ,

The Broken Wall

A nation cannot be stronger than its families. The homes of the United States of America have been viciously attacked and the walls broken down, leaving the children to the merciless power of cruel, bloodthirsty predators. We must rebuild the broken down walls of the home and family.

Satan’s original strategy was to pervert and destroy the sanctity of the sexual relationship between the man and the woman. This contaminates the whole process of reproduction so that the Seed becomes unholy and so inherits the results of the curse.

Keeping God’s Covenant

God chose to make His Covenant with Abraham, because: “I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him,” Genesis 18:19. See also Deuteronomy 6:4-9. Keeping and teaching the Word of God was the condition for inheriting all the good promises.

In the founding of the United States of America, the Constitution and other founding documents were based upon the authority of the Bible. This furnished a strong foundation and wall of protection so that families and homes could be protected and thrive. Yes, “Satan came also,” but the ‘Wall’ of Truth’ stood firm for those who would stay within its borders.

Satan’s Challenge

Satan challenged this Wall of Truth in many ways and for many years. One of his most successful ploys was to involve the USA in the carnal warfare of the world in WWI and WWII, making it appear to be the holy and righteous thing to do. He deceived the nation by the Big Lie that God was fulfilling Hls promise to Abraham by bringing the “Jews” back to the land of Palestine, pretending that the fleshly lineage, DNA, was still alive and well in their carnal, mortal bodies.

This deception has been carried forward to result in our present-day state of eternal carnal warfare throughout the world. But worst of all, it has resulted in the glorification of the anti-Christian nation, calling themselves ‘Israel,’ and their doctrine as preserved in their Talmud, which they take to be their authority, and the Zohar, which is their manual on performing witchcraft. This results in their powerful opposition to Christ and Christianity which has become the popular cult in our culture, as it is today.

The “Sexual Revolution”

The foundations of the home and family, as protected by the ‘Wall of Truth,’ were viciously attacked in the “sexual revolution” which swept over the land like a great tsunami wave in the 1960s and 70s. It was popularized by the entertainment industry, riding into almost every home on the newly popularized televisions, movies, and music. Rebellion, unrestrained sexuality, rejection of Biblical Christianity, so-called “Women’s Lib,” flooded into family life, education, and government. The drug culture took possession of multitudes of youth, destroying their lives and potential productivity, bringing in diseases, deformities, abused and neglected children and homelessness.

So where are we now? Can God find a man to “build the wall” and to “stand in the gap”? Some history:

Ezekiel 22:30: “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”

The Word of the Lord unto Ezekiel was concerning the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. So Jerusalem was destroyed. The temple was burned with fire, along with all the houses of the City. Its walls were completely broken down. Multitudes were killed and many were exiled into Babylon.

The land lay desolate for many years. After 70 years, a very small remnant returned under Zerubabel and again under Ezra, who with much opposition tried to rebuild the temple and again establish the nation. But the wall was not built and finished until Nehemiah answered the call of God to this task.

A Wall-Builder was found:

The Book of Nehemiah is the account of his calling and work of rebuilding the wall. He organized the work so that every man built the portion of the wall adjacent to his own home. They were working, not only to re-establish the nation but to establish and protect their own family and property.

Nehemiah began by teaching the people the Word of God and renewing the Covenant. He continued by calling the people to repentance and purging the marriages, putting away unlawful spouses.

The wall builders not only worked with their building tools but also carried their weapons of defense, for they worked under the threat of attack from their enemies. “For the builders, every one, had his sword girded by his side, and so builded,” Nehemiah 4:18. And so “The wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days,” Nehemiah 6:15.

Where are the men who will stand in the gap for our nation,

swords and spears of the Holy Spirit in their hearts and minds, building tools in their hands, trained, skilled, dedicated, determined, ready and willing to suffer ridicule,and hard labor?

These are the heroes required by the USA at this point in time. It is the challenge of our historical moment. Will we answer God’s call to be that Man He is looking for? Or will we allow our nation to be robbed, burned with fire, taken into captivity, and relegated to the ashes of history?

The Christmas Story and the Regathering of Israel

Teaching, ,

The Re-Gathering of Israel

What does the Christmas story tell us about the re-gathering of Israel? Many Christians today are following those who teach that the modern state called “Israel” is the fulfilling of Biblical prophecy regarding the return to the land and the re-gathering of the nation. But look at what the Bible actually says.

It was promised in Genesis 49:10:
Genesis 49:10 KJV – 10 “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].
Isaiah 11:10-12 KJV – 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”

Proselytes Could Become Naturalized Citizens:

There were many who qualified as ‘Jews’ who were not necessarily of the genetic bloodline of Abraham, but followed his faith, and kept the Covenant :

Exodus 12:48-50 KJV – “48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. 50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.”

Numbers 15:14-16 KJV – “14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever [be] among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do. 15 One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the LORD. 16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.”

Galatians 3:28-29 KJV – “28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

The Christmas Story Says That Jesus Birth Is In Fulfillment of These Promises”

The Angel’s Message to Mary:
Luke 1:31-33 KJV – “31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”

Luke 1:54-55 KJV – 54 “He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of [his] mercy; 55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.”

Zecharias’ Prophecy:

Luke 1:68-74 KJV – 68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear.”

Devout Jews And Proselytes From Every Nation Witnessed the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit:

Acts 2:5-11 KJV – “5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.”

Jesus Gathered Together All of His Own

John 11:49-52 KJV – “49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.”

Ephesians 3:3-6 KJV – “3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel.”
