Jesus is radical. His redemption is for everyone. No one is beyond His redemption. This show will include the testimonies of various Jesus followers who all have different challenges but share the theme of redemption through Jesus. We will also look at some of the current political hot topics through the lens of Jesus and the word of God. There will be truth with love and grace.

    False Prophets

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 23, 2022 13:42


    A true prophet bases prophecy on the word of God, all of it.  False prophets are just as prevelant today as they were yesterday and they give false hope and create divisions between all of our relationships.  Prophecy always suggests repentence and focuses on Jesus not current social issues.  If we are living in the last days before Jesus returns, the message of repent and follow Jesus is our focus.  Suggesting that everything is good such as was suggested by the false prophets of both old and new is not from God.  God love us and proves His love through Jesus who took all of our sins with Him on the cross.  He then rose from the dead and allows us to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  Even our faith is a gift from God and we love because He loved us first.  Let's focus on Jesus.  Afterall we will be with Him for an eternity.  That's the good news!

    God love us and created us to refelect His image.  We all fall short of that image and are separated from God because He is Holy.  The wages of sin is death and separation from God, but we can be reconciled to Him when we accept Jesus as our sacrifice for our sin and through faith choose to follow Him as our Lord and Savior.  Even when we make poor choices because of His sacrifice and love for us we can repent and choose to follow Jesus.  A baby is a child of God, not a pile of cells and when we choose abortion, even if there was a rape involved, we are chosing to murder that baby.  Most women who do choose to take their baby's life, feel horrible for the rest of their lives.  Jesus can forgive our worst choices and wants to be in a loving relationship with us.   God is love and we love because He first loved us.  We get to choose to follow Him every day into eternity; but we have to choose this.

    Based on results, the United States is no longer a constitutional free society.  The elections are rigged and controlled by the elite who also control the media.  The goal is total dependence upon the government or total government control.  The philosophy includes a goal of depopulation and the vaccine is the current means.  We no longer have free speech and we are expected to be ok with teaching our children about sex at the age of 5; teaching them that it is ok to choose their sexuality; that God does not exist; that Jesus followers are hateful; that white males are racist.   Many very intelligent people recognize these truths and have no hope, hence the large increase in suicides.    Without Jesus there really is no hope.

     There are times in our lives where we feel that God has abandoned us; we feel alone and helpless.  However, it is these times often referred to as the valleys or the desert, that God grows our faith.  There are promises that God will never leave us and that when we wait on Him we renew our faith.  

    Waiting for the Lord

    This has been one of the most challenging years for many of us around the world.  Many of us understand that covid has been used by the world governments to instill fear.  They told us what we could do, how we had to live.  Wear a mask; stand 6 feet apart; don't gather with others; don't get physically close to anyone you or they might die; don't hug anyone and stay at home for as much as you can.     I shared what I believed about all of the above.  Lies to spread fear.  Now like many of you we are wondering, when is God going to step in and do something about this mess.  We have been waiting, seemingly for ever. God's time is not ours and His plans are often not ours either but we can trust His promises for love and abundant lives and that He will reveal truth and justice in His time.   We are not alone in waiting on God.  Mosses - 40 years; Abraham - 25; Jesus 30 and so many other men and women of faith. How can we know God is faithful?   Look to the cross and the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    Satan lies through the media about the virus.  Policy related to those lies including wearing masks are policies that come from the liar himself.  If we wear masks are we being obedient to Satan? This last weekend in DC and across the country people repented for allowing evil to run amok in our government and culture.  If that repentance is true, we will see those results in Republican victories across the nation and abortion will be gone!  Proof is in the pudding.  Are we getting involved with supporting our republican candidates beyond simply voting?  We should be.
