Falling Away

On By foulweatherfaithIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

Good Day

Before Jesus returns to take up his faithful,,, it states in the Bible that there will be a great Falling Away, of even, some of the faithful !!!

In the Bible, “falling away” often refers to a departure from faith or spiritual commitment, as seen in passages like 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and Hebrews 6:4-6. It highlights the seriousness of turning away from God after having experienced His truth and grace.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 (NKJV)
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

I believe we are in the beginning of this Falling Away from Jesus !!!! Why ??? What will make this happen to Jesus believing people ??

Well,,, it is two of the oldest deceptions of this world,,,,, Arrogance and Money !!!!

Arrogance, as in, the world of unbeliever’s finds the Bible to be Old Fashion Nonsense and/or Not Politically Correct and/or Irrelevant for today !!!!

So to fight against the Deceptions of the world and for our Churches to be accepted, we, as believers, have to become Arrogant and Smarter Than God !!! We must change or add-to his word so that it is more relevant and acceptable for the World’s non-believers !!

Once we buy into this World View, we are easily decieved that this is the only way we can build and expand our Churches !!! If we don’t build and expand,,, how can recruit new members and pay the bills ???

The Devil wins and our churches fall away from the Truth of God !!!

Money, as in, money makes this world go round !!! If you don’t have money,,, you can’t do much,,, so ,,, if there really is a God, then why has he not blessed me with all I desire ??? !!! And inversely to that,,, if you have plenty of money,, then why do I need God ??? I can just buy anything I desire !!!

What the Dark Forces (Devil) don’t want the Churches to teach is basically this :::

This life is just the Pre-game to prepare for the Big Game of Eternity that comes next,,, for everyone !!!

Everyone’s Eternity comes as two destinations,,, Heaven or Hell !!! Its entirely your chose in the Pre-Game as to where you spend your Eternity??? The default destination is Hell unless you consciencely chose Jesus and invite him into your life during your Pre-Game time on Earth !!!

If the Churches don’t Preach/Teach Jesus because they believe it may offend or upset or turn-off someone ,,, lots of people won’t know Jesus and end up in Hell !!! Sad but True !!

The Official Play Book for Heaven is the God given Truth of Jesus presented and verified by his Holy Bible !!

If the Churches are not teaching or deviating, in any way, from the Truth of the Holy Bible,,, then they are deceving themselves and leading the people they serve to Hell for Eternity!!

Here are a few of the deceptions I am seeing in different Church denominations <<<<

Everyone will go to Heaven,,, Jesus is not the only way to Heaven,,, We will all have our own Planet after we die,,, LGBTQ is not sin,,, Unborn children are not Human,,, You can lose your Salvation once saved,,, We are all our own Gods,,, Heaven and Hell do not exist,,, Jesus was not God, just a good Teacher,,, These are just a few examples that are contrary to the teaching of Jesus in the Bible !!!

If you run across any of these teaching,,, don’t take my word for it ,,, research it in the Bible and draw your own conclusions !! There is a catch, however,,, you have to believe in Jesus, ask him into your life and be Saved by him to fully understand and be guided by the Holy Spirit !! Then you will realize and begin to understand all of God’s Truth presented in his Word,,, The Bible !!!

John 14:6 states that Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This verse emphasizes Jesus as the exclusive path to God. (Heaven)

Roman 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in you heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.… (Sealed for Eternity in Heaven)

May God Bless Your Day !!!

Two Things

On By foulweatherfaithIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

Good Day

There are not many things anymore that I am 100% sure about !!! I’ve seen to many deceptions, lies and false accusations through the years ,,, some of which I was going along with !!!!

But there are two things that I can state is set in stone,,, so to speak ,,, None of us will get out of this world alive (unless the Rapture happens while we are living,, another story) and the Bible is the inspired word of God !!!

People, through the years, have tried to find anything that would disprove this ,,, all for not !!! There are no conflicts in information presented over thousands of years by numerous authors,,, all inspired by the Holy Spirit directed by God !!!

Its Truth is equally as true as it was thousands of years ago with any society or time,, it will apply to any culture and circumstance !!!

These Biblical Truths will alert you the real results of any endeavor, and the circumstances that will follow that Truth,,,, both good and bad !!! These resulting circumstances will not be a matter of “if” they will follow, but “when” !!! Maybe sooner ,,,, maybe later,, but always !!

Any Prophecy in the Bible (Approximately 2500 with about 2000 already fulfilled) will play out (come true) exactly as prophesied ,,, and the many that have aleady came true,,, came true exactly as prophesied ,, exactly !!! (Example,,, Jews returning to their home land from all over the world and becoming a recognized nation in One Day,,, back on May 14 1948,,, all prophesied centuries earlier in the Bible) So I believe, beyond any shadow of doubt,, that the remaining ones will play out exactly as prophesied !!!

But here’s the catch ,,, You will need a Translator/Interpreter to understand the full message and meaning from the Bible’s words !! I have been in many Foreign countries and, unless you understand the language, you have to have someone to interpret/translate for you or you won’t understand much of what is going on !!! Lots of last meaning !!!

Why a translator ,,, you ask ??? The Bible was God Breathed to his writers by the Holy Spirit ,,, as such,,, there is a lot of hidden meaning in every word or phrase!!

1 Corinthians 2:13 ESV
And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.

I visualize each and every phrase/word in the Bible like the top tip of a pyramid,,, underneath each word or phrase there is infinite meaning’s cascading down from the top !! As you read, with the Holy Spirit translating, he will open up all that wisdom and meaning that underlyes each word as pertaining to how it will present itself to you and your situation!!! Remember, we are talking about a God who created me, you and the universe who knows our every thought, desire and problems !!!

1 Corinthians 2:14 ESV
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 

So,, you ask,,, Why should I read the Bible when I won’t understand it without the translation ??? Because it contains infinite Wisdom, Knowledge and Answers too your most hidden thoughts and questions !!! The True answers that you can’t find in this world !!!

As for the translator,,, anyone and everyone can have the Holy Spirit as a translator with just a simple heart felt belief and commentment !!!

The apostle Paul clearly taught that we receive the Holy Spirit the moment we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. First Corinthians 12:13 

It all comes with and through belief and acceptance of Jesus Christ !!! The instant you believe that Jesus is the Son of God and admit that you are a sinner and need forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into your heart and forgive you through his sacrifice on the Cross ,,, Instantly,,, He will forgive your sins and send you the Holy Spirit to guide you and tranlate all the secrets of the Bible for you !!!

Ephesians 1:13-14 ,,,  In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 

I pray that you will ask Jesus into your heart this very moment and be sealed with the Holy Spirit !!!

May God Bless Your Day !!!

Following below is a quote from Billy Graham,,,

“Heaven is real and hell is real, and eternity is but a breath away.”

Once you take your last breath you instantly enter into eternity !!! Then What ???

According to God’s Truth written in his Holy Bible,,, you will enter Heaven or Hell !!! No ifs,,No ands,,, No buts !!!

Heaven is your reward for believing in, accepting and asking Jesus Christ into your heart !!!

Hell is your punishment for not believing, not accepting or rejecting Jesus Christ during your life here on earth !!!

Once you take your last breath,,, your eternity is set,,, based on the decision you made while alive here on earth !!! There is no changing your mind or going back after death ,,, no one has ever returned after death to let us know what they experienced,, doesn’t matter how many movies or books or people have told you differently !!!!

The Holy Bible is the definitive truth from God, given to man for instruction, wisdom and guidance !! Nothing has ever been proven wrong or false in the Bible and things happen exactly as presented or predicted,,, exactly !!!

The Bible actually talks about Hell more then Heaven,,, does that give you a clue as to just how important it is to God that you understand the consequences of rejecting his son Jesus Christ !!!

From what I have read and understand from the Bible about Hell,,,,, it is defiantly not somewhere to joke around about and you Do Not Want To Spend Eternity There !!!!!

A good book on this subject is : Hell is for Real, Why it Matters ,, By Gary Frazier ,,, Give is a read and know the truth !!!!

If you are betting your eternity on the Lies, Untruths, Deceptions or Religions that do not believe in Hell,,, you are betting against the house (God’s House) and playing in the Devils house,,, a no-win gamble !!!

May God Bless your Day !!!!

Shepherd

On By foulweatherfaithIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

We all need someone in our life greater than ourselves- A Supreme Entity that is always with us- Someone who guides us, protects us, and provides for us. Someone we can believe in when it seems there is nothing believable- Like a shepherd, that watches, protects, provides for, and cares for the whole flock of lambs- (We are the lambs, whether you want to believe it or not)

The shepherd provides guidance, provision and protection to the flock !!

Psalm 23 :The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. (* there is nothing I lack to survive)

Jesus is my Shepherd and he does and has provided just what I need exactly when I need it according to his Will and Wisdom !! He knows my every desire, thought, longing, pain and joy !!! He always knows exactly what I need, even when I don’t and am clouded by the world’s wisdom !!!

World Wisdom has never worked out well for me, as it is always in conflict with the True Wisdom of the Lord !!! I am pretty sure it is the same for everyone !!

The problem is,,, you won’t have access to the life changing and internal peace of God’s wisdom and guidance until you ask the shepherd, Jesus Christ, into your life and heart !!! To do that you just need to believe in him as the Son of God that died on the Cross to take on all your sins,,, admit your are a fallen sinner and ask him into your heart,,, immediately, at that instance, the Holy Spirit will move into you and guide you !!! The outside world may not look much different to you at first ,,, but I guarantee your inside outlook will drastically change for the better !! You will definitely have a new and positive lease on life and the world’s problems will not overwhelm you any longer !!! You now have a supernatural, all powerful, all knowing shepherd protecting, providing and guiding you through the chaos !!!

Choose Jesus as your shepherd,,, today,,, and free yourself from the darkness of this world !!!!

May God Bless Your Day and Life
