BATTLE PLAN: PRAY TO GOD, FIGHT WITH GOD, TRUST IN GOD


Corruption and evil is so rampant throughout our nation today. So many are taking their "30 pieces of silver." These lost souls are taken in and taken over, and we know, Satan is never ceasing, never will stop devouring and destroying. Evil has gained a stronghold in many "high" places of influence. The lost are all making deals with one another. Satan is using them all for destruction, not good, not what God calls right or wrong, good or bad.

GOD'S INSTRUCTION TO PARENTS- TEACH, DIRECT, AND DEFEND



THE WORLD MAY NEED CHANGE, BUT GOD MUST BE THE FOUNDATION FOR CHOICES AND DECISIONS AND WORKS AND SERVICE. 

YOUR CHILDREN CAN DO MANY KIND ACTS AND DEEDS IN THIS WORLD, BUT IF THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS ARE NOT LED TO BE WITH THE LORD, TO ACCEPT JESUS AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR, TO LOVE HIM AND SEEK TO SERVE HIM IN THEIR LIVING, then acts may be good, but CHILDREN are left vulnerable to the deceptions, lies, and false lights of the world that NEVER WILL STOP TRYING TO STEAL THEIR SOULS. Satan will have them glorify their works, and not the Lord. Satan will have them serve themselves, not the Lord. Satan will have them elevate themselves by their works, not glorify God in their works and choices and decisions. 

If parents teach their children from the Bible and the Words of Jesus, and their children apply those lessons in their lives, they will live in the love of Christ and serve God and His kingdom by these fruits and the Fruits of The Spirit. 


This is the foundational block for life: Living with Christ. Living in Christ and Christ in you. 

The world works to divert us, especially our children, from that focus on God, on the Solid Rock, on the Rock of Ages, on the Firm Foundations of God in all we do, say, think, spend our time with. I've known many people with a wall lined in degrees, presentations, awards, trophys and recognitions whose hearts were never filled with the Lord and whose lives are lived for attention, fame, recognition, wealth, power and self-serving pursuits. 

Sad and lost souls think themselves "free" and elevated, fooled by Satan's charms who really has them chained to the root of evil, not grounded in Christ where the soul is on a firm foundation in this wicked, evil place ruled by the prince of darkness. These masses of his taken souls are being used to steal away more souls by the deceptions Satan places in lives every second of every day. He knows every vulnerability and will sneak into that crack and consume hearts and minds if you do not guard your heart and put on the full armor of God. 

Many are being fooled and taken today by voices of authority who are growing in positions of influence. Given power by deception and those who stepped off the foundational Word of God, they have a stronghold and are raging their spiritual battles on souls now in America, especially our children. 

Our children are being exposed to so many forces of evil today in our schools, colleges, universities, TV shows, movies, music, and the voices of those in public who feed their evil into their hearts and minds and call it "good."  They are being pulled into the mind and heart traps of Satan every day, and Satan uses voices to make people feel "guilty" if all are not "tolerated."  WELL, WHAT DOES GOD SAY?  WHAT DOES GOD SAY TO ACCEPT?  TO REBUKE AND REJECT? WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT WARNING OTHERS OF THE DECEIVERS AND FALSE LIGHTS?  WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT HOW YOU ARE TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN?  WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT SHARING HIS WORD TO OTHERS?  WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT COMPROMISING HIS WORD WITH THE WORLD? WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT "LUKEWARMNESS?"  HE WILL VOMIT YOU OUT OF HIS MOUTH.

God gave parents clear instructions on how to raise HIS CHILDREN: IN THE WAY OF THE LORD AND THE TRUTHS OF GOD'S WORD.  Parents, you will be held accountable to the King of kings one day on your obedience or disobedience to Him.  To those who are in positions of great influence over others, especially children, GOD HOLDS THEM MORE ACCOUNTABLE THAN MOST.  This is His Word and warning to you.    

We need to remember that Jesus is coming any moment. How will he find us??? Compromised to the voices of the world? Silent when evil rises and consumes our children, family members, churches, schools, neighbor's, friends, government, media, courts? Prideful in ourselves and our lukewarm faith that falters in the storms and battles all before us? Afraid to warn others in harm's way so we don't offend them but don't care enough to obey God's Word to warn others in love? Satan will have you care more about your popularity, world comfort, and not making waves to offend others while your decisions slander the Word God has for you and your life now. 

Examine your time, your choices, your decisions today. NOW. The Lord is returning. Where will he find you standing, with the world or firm with HIM and His Word? ARE YOU DIRECTING YOUR CHILDREN IN THE WAYS THEY SHOULD GO AND DEFENDING THEM AGAINST VOICES THAT WORK TO TAKE THEIR SOULS TO HELL WITH THEM?  It matters, for your eternal election date is near.

MANY CHANGING CHURCHES BUT THE UNCHANGING WORD OF GOD



Many church denominations are falling away from God's Word, led by compromisers and changers. Oh what a hell they shall endure in using their positions in the churches to lead many away from God. Add those members who go along with their leaders and approve of  the changes.... and they all call it "good." Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."

Didn't God tell us? A time will come when bad will be called "good" and good will be called "bad."  AMERICA IS FALLING INTO EVIL INFLUENCES THROUGHOUT OUR LAND, THE CHURCHES AND THROUGHOUT OUR SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT. 


These compromisers of God's Word call those who stand firm in the faith and Word the "intolerant Christians." Ole Satan has them, using their tongues to twist truths and offer the "apples of the forbidden tree" just as he began in the Garden of Eden. The prince of this earth hasn't changed, still using lies, half-truths, deception and temptations.... STILL TAKING SOULS WHO FALL INTO HIS TRAPS OF A BETTER WAY, A BETTER HAPPINESS, MORE FULFILLMENT, AND PARADISE ON EARTH.  LIAR. DECEIVER. 

What changed are the people who became lazy and selfish and sought to "feel good" and do it their own way. Satan tempted them and tugged at their desires and lusts, and they took the bait. Once they cracked the door, Satan barged right in and took their hearts and minds and the assemblies they falsely claim are God's "houses." THESE ARE DISOBEDIENT SOULS WHO CHOOSE THEIR OWN RULES AND WAY, NOT GOD'S WAY, GOD'S TRUTHS. Oh that they would not ignore the words they will hear one day before the judgment seat of Christ: "I never knew you." 

God bless all the remaining Watchmen on the Wall in full armor standing on the Rock of Ages and keeping the lamp full and lit for the Lord's return. God be with the pastors leading people in the way they should go with the Lord. Pray for them, for they are under tremendous attack and persecution today. Lift them up. Thank them. Do something kind for them. Support them. Pray for their protection, courage, strength, health, and wisdom for their days. Pray for their families.

To all the members standing firm for God and choosing a place of worship that remains faithful to the Lord, stand together, lifting and holding each other up, for members, too, shine the light on the darkness and gather the attention of the taken hearts and minds, slaves of their master, and our real enemy, Satan himself. Titus 1: 15-16 "To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good." 

We do not battle flesh and blood. You have a real supernatural enemy, but remember the power and authority you have when you receive Christ as your Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit fills your heart and mind. GUARD IT. STAND STRONG. STAND TOGETHER WITH THE GOD OF HEAVEN'S ARMIES. 

Expose and rebuke those changers and compromisers who infect the emotions and thinking of God's children. LEAVE THEIR ASSEMBLIES. They may have the title "Chrisitan" or the title of a denomination, BUT THEY DO NOT REPRESENT THE UNCHANGING WORD OF GOD. LEAVE THEM. Put on the full armor of God for the spiritual battle is waging.  Satan has taken a stronghold, and the remnant must cling to the promises and Word of God.  As the song by Chris Tomlin says, "I know who stands before me, I know who stands behind, The God of Angel Armies, Is always by my side." STAY IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST ALONE.

YOU ARE FREE TO CHOOSE YOUR WAY AND WHO YOU FOLLOW. BE WARNED OF THE GREAT DECEIVER AND THOSE HE HAS ENSLAVED AND USES TO FOOL AND TRAP YOUR HEART AND MIND.  IT MAY VERY WELL BE YOUR OWN CHURCH LEADER AND ASSEMBLY.   Stay in the Word of God.  Test all you hear by God's Word, even those leaders in the churches today for they are mere humans, capable of being deceived and chained into Satan's "sermons," not the unchanging Word of God.  Don't believe the words of men and women alone.  They could be the false gods your heavenly Father warns you about.... "the false lights" among you.   HAVE DISCERNMENT AND BE GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, not the false lights claiming they know what is good or bad.

CHECK YOUR CALENDAR -- IS GOD ON IT?



Examine today what you fill your time with, the pattern you have chosen that is now "routine." Compare the time you spend in distractions away from God and the time you choose to make with God.


The Elevated Fence Sitter and Tinkerer of Both Pastures



Take caution in your decisions and choices..... as a child of God, you can't sit on the fence and pick what you like from both pastures.... you can't sit on the fence and claim God is master in your life one minute, then the next, glorify a man or woman's changes that go against the foundations of God in the other pasture. You can't sit on the fence and jump from side to side as it suits your own needs and wants. You can't pick one grape from the cluster of God's knowledge and ignore the rest when it benefits your own daily life and is not obedient to God. To God, fence sitting is abominable. It elevates self over obedience to God alone.

GOD HAS TOLD YOU, O MAN.....


God...... Holy, powerful God......HIM or the voices of mere humans who seek to CHANGE what he calls bad and call it good..... who feed guilt in your hearts to convince you that you should do what they call good......who push their rules over the WORD OF GOD, many even from the pulpits of "churches."

The Pharisees remain generation after generation because Satan has never stopped consuming hearts and minds away from God.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS FROM YOU????

Are your reading your "life book?" THE BIBLE.

Are you in the Lord's textbook for wisdom and discernment in living?

Do you get quiet and still and listen for His voice? Do you have conversations with Him in prayer and praise? Or do you just care about what your fellow human thinks of you and only listen to them and do it their changed way??????

Is human rejection elevated over obedience to God?

ARE YOU TOO PRIDEFUL TO ADMIT YOUR WRONGS TO YOURSELF, TO OTHERS, AND TO GOD?

Does your earthly reputation mean more than your eternal destination?

Do you elevate your own self over who God wants you to be in Him?

Child of God, if you choose to follow the ways of sinful men who trick and lie and deceive, you will meet with destruction NOW and eternally. In addition, your choices effect people around you now and eternally.... for generations and generations.

Satan tells you your obedience to God is being chained in His prison and won't allow you to be happy. Satan tells you that YOU know best for your life, that YOU deserve what makes you happy and content. NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN SATAN'S TACTICS SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN...dangling the poison fruits as "good," and if chosen, only lead to pain, hurt, emptiness, loneliness, and a lost life in darkness.

Why is the story of Jesus called "THE GOOD NEWS?" This is why. To offer you ALWAYS love and repentance and entry into God's family or cleansing in the blood with a repentant heart when we fall. BECAUSE SIN IS WITHIN, TO BE BEFORE A HOLY GOD, WE NEED THE BLOOD OF CHRIST TO COVER US, TO CLEANSE US.

CHOOSE YOUR MASTER WISELY. The consequences now and eternally are your free choice.

Will YOU cling to the Rock of Ages in this world or sinking sand?

PASSING THROUGH THE SEASONS IN YOUR FAITH JOURNEY WITH CHRIST



When you look back on your "faith history," you can see the different seasons God took you through, what you really needed to grow in faith, what you needed for spiritual maturity, what you needed to become closer to Him, more aware, a listener for His direction. Sometimes the "plate was full" of activity and work, and other times it was an isolated season of more one-on-one time with God. Sometimes it was something not given, not answered, or taken away.

God's purpose is to bring you closer and closer into Christ-like character. He has given each one of us unique gifts to use in His service. As we accepted Christ, we began a journey of faith growth. Our time became important in the knowledge of God and His Word. Our prayer life was engaging as we sought to learn the ways of the Lord. We learned we were empty and wanted to be filled with God to be complete.

God takes his young believer and guides them through a journey of growth in spirit. Although professors of being God's child, we still have a sinful nature and earthly enemies that work to detour us. We still have freedom in our daily choices and pursuits. We still must deal with sadness and loss. We are reminded that we are Kingdom children in a fallen world still possessing freedoms to do and say as we choose.

God knows our nature. God knows our heart. God knows our enemies. God knows our journey. He sent His only begotten Son to live in the flesh among us, have the same temptations before Him, experience the same sadness and loss that we can feel. Though perfect, He experienced our pains, and in the greatest gift of love, laid down His life in our place, became our substitute on the Cross, and GAVE US FORGIVENESS and SALVATION though we have and do fail in the flesh.

Yet in accepting Christ the Lord as our Savior, our bodies are filled with the Holy Spirit to guide and direct our paths. Oh what a gift to have this counselor and advocate as we pass our days, as we sometimes fall, as we repent and again stand back up and walk with Christ in forgiveness.

Throughout this journey, we experience different seasons of growth and lessons and teaching and learning. To grow in faith and be more like Christ, we must surrender our self will, and often our comfort, to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit at a time in our lives that will lead to a more perfect connection and life in the Lord.

 Sometimes we teach Sunday school, make a dish for the comfort of others, lead a Bible study, sing in the choir, watch babies in the nursery, visit the home bound, work on a committee in service to others, and other working activities with the gifts God has given us to use in His service. However, there are times when God makes the way to more isolated times, perhaps in study of His Word alone, prayer alone, no church family found.

Some find this isolation as a failure in their days as a servant of the Lord. They pray and pray for God to help them find the right church and good Christian friends. They search, but the Lord does not convict them in their search.

We are all in different places in our faith journey and growth position in Christ. If we submit to the Holy Spirit's leading, sometimes we are led to an intimate, alone period of study, prayer and supplication. We don't understand it, but must trust that God has a reason, and good intentions for us, in seasons of isolation. 

Trusting God through this "lesson" in surrender should be our response, as well as a focused priority of study of Him and our own current position in faith. We must listen, obey, use self-examination, and release those things that God may be trying to free us from that are holding us back in our commitment to Him alone.

When you see your Christian brothers and sisters in "different places" of surrender or service, remember that God loves each one of us, wants each one of us to grow in Him, recognizes what we need most to advance in faith, and takes us to different "study areas" for the advancement of our faith and the ultimate work of the Kingdom.We are never "there," as Christ was, but God is forever leading and guiding knowing where our spirit needs its compliments, expulsions, sharing, or isolation.... each one unique.... each path unique.

God is with all of us, and God leads us down different roads and through different seasons to advance our relationship with Him, with others, and to lead our way closer and closer to a faith-shining light that glows brighter and brighter in this dark world..... that will be strong in the storms and an anchor in our trials.... and oftentimes, to be an anchor in the storms of others. 

The "school" of growth for the Kingdom of God by the teacher Himself.... Jesus Christ.... and the Holy Spirit in us .... let us answer the call of faith and the journey of maturity by submission to His determined "classroom" through the seasons of our journey in Christ the Lord.
