Psalm 121There are some connections with Psalm 91. The idea of shade or shadow in 121:5; 91:1. The word keep in 121:3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8 is also in 91:11. The word foot is used in 121:3 and 91:12 McCann, 1181. The name LORD appears in vs. 2, 5, 5, 7, 8.121:1 From whence shall my help come?- The word help is m.s. and is used of God in Exodus 18:4; Deut. 33:7, 26, 29; Ps. 20:2; 33:20; 115:9, 10, 11; 121; 1, 2; 124:8; 146:5. The f.s. form is used in Ps. 40:13, 17; 44:26; 46:1; 108:12. “The question exposes his anxiety and sense of inadequacy” Laymen, 687. 121:2 My help comes from the LORD,Who made heaven and earth- Ps. 115:15; 124:8; 134:3; Jer. 32:17 The verb made is used 12 times in Gen. 1-2 to speak of God's creation of all things. “The thought of this verse leaps beyond the hills to the universe; beyond the universe to its Maker. Here is living help: primary, personal, wise, immeasurable” Kidner, 431. 121:4 Behold, He who keeps Israel- “Protection is a burning issue for a pilgrim who is travelling arduously and through lonely country” Kidner, 431. will neither slumber not sleep- contrast I Kings 18:27.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Many churches today are teaching doctrines that are traditions of men instead of the commandments of God from the New Testament Bible. This is antichrist in the end time church. This is the apostasy that Paul said had to come before Jesus returns. II Thess. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. "The falling away" are churches falling away from scripture. When this happens the door is open for antichrist to come into the church and set up doctrines of men, departing from scripture which is the doctrine of Christ for the church. For example: The Catholic church teaches their followers to pray to Mary. This is their "tradition" set up by men and not by God. Jesus says: 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. In the New Testament Bible, we are taught to pray directly to God through Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Mary is dead. She is sleeping. She cannot hear you or watch over you. No dead person can do these things. Dead people are asleep. Jesus shows us that dead people are "asleep". John 11:11-14 These things said HE (Jesus) : and after that HE saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 Then said His disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that HE had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. Some church people in both Catholic and Protestant churches think dead people watch over them. The Bible shows us that dead people are asleep. I Thessalonians 4:13-17 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep (dead). 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. God watches over us. Dead people are sleeping until Jesus returns. In churches today, there are many traditions of men which are opposite to the doctrines of Christ in the Holy Bible. * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

94:1-7 God of vengeance shine forth94:1 O Lord, God of vengeance- This is the only time in the Bible that the LORD is addressed this way. Deut. 32:35; Ps. 58:10; 79:10; Prov. 20:22; Isaiah 35:4; Jer. 51:6; Ezek. 25:12, 14, 17; Nah. 1:2; Rom. 12:19; Heb. 10:30. He is the God who rights wrongs that wicked men bring upon those helpless to resist. 94:8-11 A warning to those who think they can hide their way from God94:12-15 An encouragement to those who are experiencing evil treatment94:16-23 The LORD sustained the Psalmist when none stood with himJesus and Psalm 9494:1 God of vengeance- II Thess. 1:8 and picture of Jesus in Rev. 19:11-2194:2 Rise up in the LXX is the same word for the Son being lifted up in John 3:14; 8:28; 12:32 and it is also used of Jesus in Acts 2:33; 5:31 and being exalted to God's right hand. 94:2 The one who judges- Jesus will judge- John 5:22, 3094:3 How long? Rev. 6:994:5 crush- NASB is the same verb used in Isaiah 53:5 “He was crushed for our iniquities”, 10 “He was pleased to crush Him.”94:5 afflict- Isa. 53:4 “He was smitten of God and afflicted”; Isa. 53:7 “He was oppressed and afflicted” The two verbs used to describe the mistreatment of God's people in Ps. 94:5 are used of the treatment of the Servant in Isaiah 53. 94:6 The word for killed used in the LXX is used of Jesus being killed in Matt. 16:21; 17:23; 21:38, 39; Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:34; Luke 9:22. Jesus experienced the same treatment given the most weak and helpless. 94:11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man- I Kings 8:39; Matt. 9:4; John 2:24-2594:16 The Psalmist stood alone, without human help, before the wicked. Jesus experienced this- Matt. 26:56; Mark 14:50, 51-52.94:17, 18 help Me- The word of the LXX addressed to Jesus- Matt. 15:25; Mark 9:2494:17 The LXX has the idea of my soul being in Hades- Acts 2:27, 3194:21 Jesus is righteous- Matt. 27:19; Luke 23:47; Acts 3:14; 7:52; 22:14Jesus is innocent- used in the NT only in Matt. 27:4, 24
Fr. Seraphim Rose offers us the foundational, patristic approach to the modern phenomena of UFOs, aliens, and "intelligent beings" from above.

Seraphim in thumbnail is by Shayne Swenson: https://shayneswenson.com/ _______ Fr. Seraphim writes: The most puzzling aspect of UFO phenomena to most researchers—namely, the strange mingling of physical and psychic characteristics in them—is no puzzle at all to readers of Orthodox spiritual books, especially the Lives of Saints. Demons also have "physical bodies," although the "matter” in them is of such subtlety that it cannot be perceived by men unless their spiritual "doors of perception" are opened, whether with God's will (as in the case of holy men) or against it (as in the case of sorcerers and mediums). A true evaluation of the UFO experience may be made only on the basis of Christian revelation and experience, and is accessible only to the humble Christian believer who trusts these sources. To be sure, it is not given to man entirely to "explain" the invisible world of angels and demons; but enough Christian knowledge has been given us to know how these beings act in our world and how we should respond to their actions, particularly in escaping the nets of the demons. UFO researchers have come to the conclusion that the phenomena they have studied are essentially identical with phenomena that used to be called "demonic; but only the Christian—the Orthodox Christian, who is enlightened by the Patristic understanding of Scripture and the 2,000-year experience of Saints encounters with invisible beings—is able to know the full meaning of this conclusion. In the Christian apocalyptic view, we can see that the power which until now has restrained the final and most terrible manifestation of demonic activity on earth has been taken away (II Thess. 2:7), Orthodox Christian government and public order (whose chief representative on earth was the Orthodox emperor) and the Orthodox Christian worldview no longer exist as a whole, and satan has been "loosed out of his prison," where he was kept by the grace of the Church of Christ, in order to "deceive the nations" (Apoc. 20:7-8) and prepare them to worship antichrist at the end of the age. Perhaps never since the beginning of the Christian era have demons appeared so openly and extensively as today. The "visitors from outer space" theory is but one of the many pretexts they are using to gain acceptance for the idea that "higher beings" are now to take charge of the destiny of mankind. Science fiction has given the images, ‘evolution' has produced the philosophy, and the technology of the ‘space age' has supplied the plausibility for such encounters. _______ Orthodox Wisdom is dedicated to sharing the writings and lives of the Saints of the Orthodox Church.

HIS LOVE KEEPS US STRONG Our reading today are I Kings 4-5, II Chronicles 2, Psalm 101, and II Thessalonians 3. We are reading from the New Living Translation. Love leads to service and generosity. When we fail to experience the love of God we grow despondent, we become idle, we do not serve, and we are not generous. Working, serving, and giving become hard to do. We want to take what we can get rather than give what we have gotten. We can't give what we don't have. That is why we must experience God's love if we are to show love. We must be filled and grow in our understanding and expression of his love if we are to give that love to others. So Paul prays for us. May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ. (II Thess 3:5 NLT) Do you know that you are loved? Sometimes it's hard to remember that you are. It takes patient endurance to hold firmly, to that truth. But we must hold to it. But God's love is exactly what emerges from the Gospel when we look at Jesus and see what he has done for us. Each day we need to open up our hearts to the Spirit's working in our lives. We come to His Word, day after day, to be reminded of who he is, what he's done, and what he gives us. And what we have become in him. Through His presence in us, we begin to be led into a full understanding and expression of the love of God. We learn to patiently endure when it seems like the heavens are silent. We know that this walk with Christ is a long obedience in the same direction. He is with us and we can grow and experience His love. Out of this will come a life of service, generosity, joyfulness and hope. Let God grow you into a fuller understanding of His love.
KEEP A FIRM GRIP Our readings today are I Kings 3, II Chronicles 1, Psalm 78, and II Thessalonians 2. We are reading through the New Living Translation. Stand firm and keep a firm grip. Paul says, With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. (II Thess 2:15-17) Keep a grip on those things Where do you stand? You stand firm in his love, and his grace, and his comfort. What do you keep a grip on? You keep a grip on your ongoing experience of the Gospel, that is rooted in the Living Word, in Jesus himself. He is the Good News. He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thess 2:14) It starts with the gospel of Christ and it continues in the gospel of Christ. The gospel is compared to the glory of Jesus Christ. What is the glory of Christ? For us, it is Christ in you. He is your hope and your glory. That's the Gospel, not just that Christ has died for your sins, as glorious and wonderful as that is. But the Good News of the Gospel is that he has also come to re-inhabit you, to live in you, now. This is the truth that we hold firm to, this Gospel of Christ in you. It's so easy to let that life-giving truth out of our grip. Other things will come and try to wrestle it from our hands, but we must not let it. It may be religious things, even, or concern and anxiety about the end times. That's what this church was struggling with. We must not lose our grip or move from where we stand. We must not let our religious anxieties about whether we are doing enough, or the many ways we try to justify ourselves before God, move us. We must hold firm to the truth that Christ has done a new thing in us, that he's made us new, forgiven us of our sins, and come to live in us. That's where we are going to find that eternal comfort and strength and hope to move forward in life. Remember where you stand. You stand in his love. Hold firmly to the truth of Christ in you. This is Kingdom living.
Rob shows main philosophical assertions of Universalists: 1. God must love everyone regardless (despite the fact that God hates people too, Hosea 9:15), 2. Thus Universalism is a necessity for man's reconciliation 3. Therefore all judgments & punishments are remedial & restorative & the proximate means to attaining salvation 4. Concluding that hell exists only as some sort of glorified Purgatory that cannot be eternal & thus its purpose will come to an end. 1. Pluralistic Universalism teaches any kind of religion will lead to heaven, 2. Non-religious Universalism teaches that everything works out okay for nonbelievers like atheists, humanists or secularists for their good in the afterlife & 3. Christian Universalism teaches God will eventually save everyone one way or another (the famous author C.S. Lewis believed in this type of Universalism, see our video "Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis is a False Gospel & C.S. Lewis is a False Prophet Loved By All" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDUbq... ). 03:28 - 1.

Jesus said of Judas, "The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.” Sometimes we hear that God hates the sin but loves the sinner. This is not true. A. H. Strong (“Systematic Theology,” p. 290) observes that God both hates and loves the sinner at the same time: “hates him as he is a living and wilful antagonist of truth and holiness, loves him as he is a creature capable of good and ruined by his transgression.” See Dr. Rob Zins, Th.M, Dallas Theological Seminary (website: http://www.CWRC-RZ.ORG)Christian Answers Website: https://www.biblequery.org/ for more excellent teachings.

At the 2021 Southwest Believers' Convention, Terri Copeland Pearsons underscores the need for truth in our society. The doctrine of demons has infiltrated many aspects of life. Why? “…because they did not welcome the Truth but refused to love it that they might be saved (II Thess. 2:10 AMPC). Power follows holiness!

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... In Hebrews 10:25, God tells us, "Exhort one another and even more as we see the day of the Lord approaching." Exhort means: to urge earnestly by advice and warnings. God has given me multiple dreams showing me young Christians starving to death. I've also been shown in dreams vicious older people in churches "eating" baby Christians, devouring them with false doctrines. Many times God will awaken me with a subject concerning what to write to you and what to speak to you. Also in dreams, God has shown me Church members who never have grown fully in the Word of God and they are as deformed babies because of doctrines that are wrong which they have learned at their churches. In these Podcasts and Tweets you will learn what to expect in the end times if you are still on this earth when these things begin to happen. You will not be surprised as the world is. You will know what is happening and what to expect. You will be given an opportunity to see those things God has shown me about antichrist through the verses of scripture in the New Testament. There are many antichrists: I Jn. 2:18 Antichrist comes through the churches: I Jn. 2:19 & II Thess. 2:3-4 Saints are all the elect of God, all the church, all those who are born again. Rom. 8:14 As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the children of God. The work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, how to recognize ideas that God gives you. What it means when God shakes the heaven and the earth and the sun and moon go dark. What to expect next. What the Bible says about subjects of divorce/remarriage and homosexuals/ lesbians. Everything I speak and write to you is based on scripture and compares scripture with scripture to give you a firm anchor for your soul. The end time comes and we all need these scriptural teachings as we go forward. Coronavirus should awaken us considerably. ( Click here for podcast and to see scriptures )
Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Unless the truth is revealed to us by God, we know nothing. For centuries people in church groups have "speculated" about antichrist. But only when God shows us something do we have truth that does not fail. God began speaking to me about antichrist in 1982. God used specific scriptures to teach me by HIS Holy Spirit. II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. God said to me: "The falling away are not people leaving the church groups. The falling away are the churches leaving specific scriptures ... and when that happens, antichrist moves into that church group." * Antichrist is a spirit that operates inside the church group through ministers and congregations ... so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. In the NASB, we see the following: 6-8 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is removed. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; (God had called the word "restraint" to my mind in approximately 2017. I found this scripture in II Thess. 2:6 NASB.) I said to God: "What restrains him?" The Holy Spirit said to me: "The scriptures restrain antichrist and when portion of scriptures are removed, the door opens for antichrist to come into the church group." I saw immediately: Jesus is "The Word". When Jesus, The Word, the holy scriptures are removed in part from the church group, the restraint holding antichrist back is removed and antichrist moves into that church group. Antichrist tried to move into the churches during the day of the apostle John, but when that church held fast to doctrines of Christ, antichrist left that church group. I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. (Not just one antichrist but many antichrists.) 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. The terrible fate for those persons in churches who cast aside portions of scripture: II Thess. 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. * For more extensive information on this podcast, click here: Jesus Ministries Podcast Blog * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... As a new Christian in 1975, I attended a church named Word of Faith. Some of the women were speaking of the antichrist. This is the first time I had ever heard of antichrist. One woman said she thought antichrist was Henry Kissinger. In the book, War & Peace, Tolstoy said the Russian Catholic Church people thought the antichrist was Napoleon, who was attacking Russia in the early 1800's. I recall my aunt, who was Christ of Christ, saying the Catholic church and their pope was antichrist. Some in WWII thought antichrist to be Adolph Hitler. It is amazing, but the apostle John tells us about antichrist in I John 2. (I've never heard these scriptures taught at any church, but these scriptures are in our New Testament Bibles, and tell the answers to these questions.) * Is antichrist one man? * Does antichrist come through the governments of men? The apostle John says: I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us (in our church group): but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. So John tells us there are many antichrists. And antichrist had been in their church group, in John's time on this earth, which showed it to be "the last time". (The end time began with the resurrection of Jesus into heaven.) Paul tells us the following: Many of the elders in the church at Ephesus were just waiting for him, Paul, to depart so they could rise up and speak "perverse things" to the church at Ephesus. (antichrist: opposite to Christ, The Word) Acts 20:29-30 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. And Paul explained: II Thess. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (In 1982, God said to me: "The falling away spoken of by Paul in II Thess. 2, is not men leaving the church groups. The falling away are church groups leaving the scriptures." And when this happens, antichrist comes into the church groups and cast aside certain scripture and sets up doctrines in the church which are opposite to scripture. ) 2 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Antichrist comes through the churches. Antichrist is a "spirit" in many men. as the devil is a spirit that operates through many men. I discuss these things on this Podcast.

MAY 19, HIS LOVE KEEPS US STRONG Our reading today are I Kings 4-5, II Chronicles 2, Psalm 101, and II Thessalonians 3. We are reading from the New Living Translation. Love leads to service and generosity. When we fail to experience the love of God we grow despondent, we become idle, we do not serve, and we are not generous. Working, serving, and giving become hard to do. We want to take what we can get rather than give what we have gotten. We can't give what we don't have. That is why we must experience God's love if we are to show love. We must be filled and grow in our understanding and expression of his love if we are to give that love to others. So Paul prays for us. May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ. (II Thess 3:5 NLT) Do you know that you are loved? Sometimes it's hard to remember that you are. It takes patient endurance to hold firmly, to that truth. But God's love is exactly what emerges from the Gospel when we look at Jesus and see what he has done for us. Each day we need to open up our hearts to the Spirit's working in our lives. We come to His Word, day after day, to be reminded of who he is, what he's done, and what he gives us. Through His presence in us, we begin to be led into a full understanding and expression of the love of God. We learn to patiently endure when it seems like the heavens are silent. We know that this walk with Christ is a long obedience in the same direction. He is with us and we can grow and experience His love. Out of this will come a life of service, generosity, joyfulness and hope. Let God grow you into a fuller understanding of His love. Let your roots grow down into God's love and keep you strong.
MAY 18, KEEP A FIRM GRIP Our readings today are I Kings 3, II Chronicles 1, Psalm 78, and II Thessalonians 2. We are reading through the New Living Translation. Stand firm and keep a firm grip. Paul says, With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. (II Thess 2:15-17) Where do you stand? You stand firm in his love, and his grace, and his comfort. What do you keep a grip on? You keep a grip on your ongoing experience of the Gospel, that is rooted in His Word. It is the Good News. He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. (II Thess 2:14) It starts with the gospel of Christ and it continues in the gospel of Christ. The gospel is compared to the glory of Jesus Christ. What is the glory of Christ? For us, it is Christ in you. He is your hope and your glory. That's the Gospel, not just that Christ has died for your sins, as glorious and wonderful as that is. But the Good News of the Gospel is that he has also come to re-inhabit you, to live in you, now. This is the truth that we hold firm to, this Gospel of Christ in you. It's so easy to let that life-giving truth out of our grip. Other things will come and try to wrestle it from our hands, but we must not let it. It may be religious things, even, or concern and anxiety about the end times. That's what this church was struggling with. We must not lose our grip or move from where we stand. We must not let our religious anxieties about whether we are doing enough, or the many ways we try to justify ourselves before God, move us. We must hold firm to the truth that Christ has done a new thing in us, that he's made us new, forgiven us of our sins, and come to live in us. That's where we are going to find that eternal comfort and strength and hope to move forward in life. Remember where you stand. You stand in his love. Hold firmly to the truth of Christ in you. This is Kingdom living.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ... Paul said before Jesus returns a "falling way" would have to come and antichrist would sit in the temple of God ... in the church itself. (II Thessalonians 2) Churches would fall away from portions of scripture setting up doctrine opposite to NT Bible. For hundreds of years people have speculated on "who" is antichrist, thinking he would be some government leader. In 1800's, Russian people thought antichrist was Napoleon. In 1940's Hitler. The apostle Paul shows us antichrist comes through the churches, not through the governments. (II Thess. 2:3-4) Apostle John says there are "many antichrists".

Notes: Acts 4:33 ESVPaul's favorite farewells"The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you" Romans 16:20"The grace of our Lord Jesus be with your spirit" Galatians 6:18"This is how I write to you by my own hand, the grace of our Lord be with you" II Thess. 3:18 "The grace of our Lord be with you" I Thess. 5:28The 4 great truths about grace1. Grace saves us from sin"but because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions, it is by grace you have been saved" Ephesians 2:4"The Gospel is this: we are much more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the same time, we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope"~Timothy KellerMercy: withholding the penalty we have earnedGrace: receiving the forgiveness God has earned for us~Dr. Jamie Chong-YouAnother name for Christian believers is "the redeemed." To redeem means to buy back out of debt, despair and bondage. It is to be set free by the payment of a price.Our salvation is to promote the Kingdom of God for the salvation of the soul, but also for the salvation of society. He has graced you to be saved and salt.2. Grace teaches us to be Godly"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "no" to all ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled" Titus 2:11-12Willpower- leads to hypocrisy or burnoutMoral performance: "I feel both superior and insecure"Many believers stay immature because they never progress beyond the revelation that they are sinners saved by graceMy righteousness doesn't depend on my present performance but on Jesus' finished performanceGrace and Forgiveness: "I feel both grateful and humble"The church is at it's best when it embraces grace and truth and refuses to let go of either3. Grace empowers us to serve"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful servants of God's grace" I Peter 4:10When I am serving I see more because God magnifies himself through me4. Grace grants me access to God's presence"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet He did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" Hebrews 4: 15,16Feeling aren't necessarily evidence of God's presence. If you always felt God you wouldn't need faithIf you can't figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. Passion will lead you to purpose.The presence of God will not always fix your problems, but it will clarify your perspectiveGrace:No sin to great for His graceNo habit to big for His healingNo label to strong for His love
HAS KUNDALINI CAPTURED LARGE SECTIONS OF CHURCH? “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God,” (II Thess. 2:3-4). “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” (Matt. 10:8). The Galatians had cheerfully accepted a man that came preaching a different Jesus than the Jesus that Paul preached and had turned from the good news to a different message they had originally accepted. Paul asked in amazement, “Who had bewitched the believers to draw them away from the truth.” The consequence upon them was not just the influence of receiving wrong mental impressions conveyed by counterfeit and deceptive teachers, but transformations of their faith caused by evil spirits imposing false doctrines through false teachers”, (Gal. 3:1). They had changed. They were religious but had a new agenda. They had become the New Age People of their day, bewitched by the paranormal, magical words of a false prophet; changed into another kingdom. They once were saved but now they were lost. INFILTRATION KUNDALINI DEMONIC POWERS Has Kundalini demonic power infiltrated parts of the Charismatic and Pentecostal Christian circles? Kundalini is at least 1000 years old occult practice. It involves bodily manifestations as a consequence for the "awakening of an individual's Kundalini'' and is related to, for example, Qigong (a Chinese occulted tradition).The word Kundalini means “the serpent power,” in English. Hindu believes that within each person resides a “serpent” coiled tightly around the base of the spine

What is the world coming to, and who can save us from destruction? The Man of Sin will deceive the nation of Israel and the whole world first, then he will be revealed to be none other than the agent of Satan himself. When this man is revealed, all Hell literally breaks loose upon the earth.

Jesus Christ is Lord (I John. 2:18), it is the last: days (the) Antichrist shall come. (II Thess 2-1- 4), “That day (of Jesus coming) shall not come except… that man of sin be revealed”. (II Thess 2:9 “Whose coming is after (according to) working of Satan. (II Thess 2:10-14), “God shall send them strong delusion, (the Antichrist) who believed not the truth.” (Daniels 8:23). “In the latter time… a king of fierce countenance… shall stand up.” (Rev 13:4) “The dragon, (Satan) which gave power unto the beast. (Rev 13:7). “Power was given him over… all nations. (Daniel 11:37) neither shall he regard God of his fathers. (Dan 11:37). “Neither… Regard…desire of women.” (Dan 11:37), neither shall he regard any god. The fulfilled Messianic prophecies (concerning Christ) by themselves prove the divine inspiration of the Scriptures. Jesus announces a final persecution against His Church before His return through the seemingly universal (but temporary) success of the Antichrist, who will establish a "false peace" on earth,” ( I Thess 5:3), through a world government and a world religion that will deny Jesus Christ as the true Messiah.

Unstoppable. Many in our country associate that term with a certain person running for the highest office in the land, the thought of which brings either great enthusiasm or great consternation. This Sunday's sermon spoke of another unstoppable person...the One who trumps all others! Of course, I speak of Jesus Christ. Our pastor has been doing a sermon series titled The Week That Changed the World, where we've been examining the events between Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday. These messages have been so timely, not only because it's Holy Week, but because of the timeless truths that reach down through the ages to speak to us--right here, right now--in the midst of a seemingly chaotic time in our country. As Christians we have been spoiled by living in a country that was blessed by being founded on Judeo-Christian principles. I think that's part of the reason why we often confuse church and state and why we mourn so much at the loss of a Christian consensus. But the reality is that we are living in a post-Christian America and the only ones we have to blame is ourselves, i.e., the church. The twentieth century was not a good one for the American church. The import of rationalism via liberal theology in the first half of the century and the man-centered focus on a psychologized gospel in the second half left little room for truth. And when Truth exits the building, Power is not far behind. The good news is that seeing the sharp difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of man (i.e. politics, government, etc.) can awaken us to our idolatry and help us to clarify where our loyalties lie. To phrase it in terms of the first sermon in this series, whose parade are you marching in--Caesar's or Christ's? Too often it seems to me that we think we can change the culture by our political engagement. While it is true that as Christians we are to function as salt and light in society and exercise dominion at every level, we will never produce lasting change from the top down. Even with President George W. Bush, a man vocal and unashamed about his Christian faith and who served at the pinnacle of power in this country for eight years, abortion still exists and the country is more ungodly than ever. Expecting a political ruler to do what only Christ can do is pure idolatry. Only Jesus can change the human heart, and He has commissioned His church to preach the gospel of repentance and trust in Him for the forgiveness of sins and the power to live a life of righteousness. As we are faithful to this calling, society will be changed from the bottom up. We are living in chaotic times. If God did not spare His people Israel, why should we be any different when we reject Him as a nation. The Lord often exercises punishment by allowing us to eat the fruit of our sin, so to speak (Prov. 1:29-31). We may be in for a rocky ride, but we can take heart because we know our God is sovereign over the affairs of men. And if you, like me, think the electorate has gone mad (in both senses of the word) or that God has sent a delusion to confuse people's minds as judgement (II Thess. 2:11), take comfort in the fact that God works all things according to the counsel of His will (Eph. 1:11). In other words, He has a plan and He's working it! Finally, we get to the best part! JESUS AND HIS KINGDOM ARE UNSTOPPABLE!!! Adversaries, be they the religious establishment, political rulers, demons, Satan, death itself, cannot stop Jesus from fulfilling His saving mission on our behalf. After His resurrection He appeared to His disciples and prefaced His commission to them with the words "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples..."(Mt. 28:18-19). That is where true power for change lies, not in any political candidate or party, but in the truth of God's Word and the power of His Holy Spirit. Let us remember that and be encouraged that nothing we face can halt the progression of the Kingdom of God. We have an all-powerful King who can work miracles, and He has enlisted us in the church to bring about transformation as we proclaim the gospel of His unstoppable kingdom by word and deed. Let's get to it!

The gospel of Matthew presents us with discourse #4 in Chapter 18 and Christ's theme is clearly 'the church'. We could, perhaps, further outline Mat 18 into 4 subdivisions under the heading: “The Church of Jesus Christ is...” 1. Lowly – of spirit (verses 1-4) 2. Loving – and sacrificially so, to the 'least of these' (5-14) 3. Lawful – in her disputes (15-20) & 4. Long suffering – in her forgiveness one to another (21- 35). This message aims to expound the lawful nature of conflict resolution Christ prescribes for His body: the church. Mat 18:15-20 documents the institution of the church's responsibility regarding its self-government or discipline. In the apostolic application of these principles, the New Testament further supplies record of implementation, explanation, and examples of church government. These references include: I Cor 5:1-13, II Cor 2:5-11, II Thess 3:6, 14-15, Titus 1:10-14, 3:9-11, I Tim 5:19-21, Gal 2:11-14. It may not readily occur to us these days that a Biblical role of the church is to provide a judicial standard of discernment and act when necessary as an official court in its own jurisdiction, but this is modern oversight is certainly not on account of information lacking in the New Testament.
This is the teaching on the sixth seal. When the seventh seal is loosed there is silence in heaven. During the commencement of this seal, we see the prophecies of Joel 2:28-31 being fulfilled. Recommended reading is Matt 24, I Thess 5, II Thess 2-3, Revelation 6:12-7. When this seal is opened, this will initiate the great tribulation (Rev. 7:9-14). We are currently close to the time of this 6th seal. Bro. Branham explains, that when a seal is loosed, there is a religious disturbance. When there is a sounding of a trumpet, it denotes a political disturbance. The last trump of God (seventh trumpet), according to I Thess 4:13-17 sounds under the sixth seal, because under the loosing of the seventh seal there is silence. The seventh seal is the coming of the Lord physically to the nation of Israel.

The Plan to establish a New World Order is depicted in these Murals. It is quickly coming into view in our time. The world is looking for a new savior; they are looking for a man of unpatrolled evil; an ultimate enemy that will emerge in the end time and take over the world. He will be a young man who will rise with supernatural powers to rise to power over the planet. He will set himself as ruler over Jerusalem and claim to be God. The Jews rejected Jesus Christ and they will receive him and he will come in his own name. He is the prince who is to come, (Dan. 9:26:), who makes things desolate (Dan. 9:27), the king who does as he pleases, (Dan. 11:36), a foolish shepherd, (Zech. 11: 15-17), a man of lawlessness, (II Thess. 2,3), a man of destruction, (II Thess. 2:2,3), the rider on the white horse, (Rev. 6:2), The Beast (Rev. 13-1-9; 17:3, 8).

azon.com: Pat Holliday: Books http://amzn.to/1333LVI BEWITCHING SPIRITS The Apostle Paul was absolutely amazed when he returned to the Galatian Church to find those people that he had taught about Jesus totally bewitched. (Gal 3:1), “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?” They were led blindly and unresistingly onto their own destruction; foolishly yielded to the influence of the false teachers; embraced doctrines that tended to subvert the gospel of the Redeemer and in embracing the errors into which they had fallen. Paul also warns of the dangers of seeking extra-biblical answers: “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worked in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others,” (Eph. 3:1, 2, 3). Today, many are spreading lies and slander concerning the deity of Jesus Christ. Every mind is under attack to turn the people to hoards of demonic men who wish to rule the world under a new religious system called witchcraft. If they can transform the minds of the masses, they can take possession of the planet and exercise authority over the people as slaves. The impure doctrines of our present church systems have muddied the waters of religion until it hardly favors the Holy Bible and the true church. Revival is impossible until we return to "the love of the truth." (II Thess. 2:10). The love of the truth is the saving power of God.
