Satan's Bride: Babylon

Satan mimics everything that Christ Jesus does.

Christ Jesus has a Bride of His Called, Chosen, and Faithful followers

[Revelation 17:14],

And Satan has a Bride of his called, chosen, and faithful followers.

Satan has a big head start because everyone is born into SIN

And are therefore born followers of Satan.

However, Christ Jesus speaks to every living person

And gives them the opportunity to follow Him;

Those who seek Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.

Only a few ever do; only those who find His NARROW Way;

Only those who are water washed, blood washed, filled with the Holy Spirit

And walk in the Light of Christ Jesus.

Satan is the “god” of this Age [2 Corinthians 4:4]

And controls the whole world [1 John 5:19].

He controls the whole world through his Bride, Babylon. Listen:

The woman you saw is the Great City

That rules over the kings of the earth. (Revelation 17:18)

As the Bride of Christ is the Temple of the Holy Spirit [1 Corinthians 6:19],

So Babylon is the Temple of Satan.

Today, there is only one city that fits the description of Babylon the Great

In the Book of Revelation and that city is New York City.

All the other cities of the world are “little” Babylons;

They are of the same “spirit,” the spirit of Satan.

Babylon rules the world and she is ruled by demons;

By the demonic rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world;

The spiritual forces of EVIL in the heavenly realms;

All of which are ruled by Satan. (Ephesians 6:12)

Christ Jesus will have a wedding with His Bride:

For the wedding of the Lamb has come,

And His Bride has made herself ready. (Revelation 19:7)

The son of Satan has a wedding with his bride:

ALL the inhabitants of the earth will worship the Beast

[The son of Satan, the Antichrist]--

ALL whose names have not been written in the Book of LIFE

Belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.

(Revelation 13:8)

Babylon is finally destroyed along with all the cities of the world.

'Fallen! Fallen! Is Babylon the Great!

She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,

A haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.

For ALL the nations have drunk the maddening wine

Of her adulteries.

The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,

And the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.'

(Revelation 18:1-3)

Then I heard another voice from Heaven say:

'Come out of her, My people so that you will not share in her sins,

So that you will not receive any of her plagues;

For her sins are piled up to Heaven,

And God has remembered her crimes.

Give back to her double for what she has done.

Mix her a double portion from her own cup.

Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself.

In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow,

And I will never mourn.'

Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:

Death , mourning and famine.

She will be consumed by fire,

For mighty is the Lord God Who judges her. (Revelation18:1-8)

'Flee from Babylon!

Run for you lives!

Do not be destroyed because of her sins.

It is time for the Lord's vengeance;

He will pay her what she deserves.

Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord's hand;

She made the whole earth drunk.

The nations drank her wine;

Therefore they have now gone mad.

Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken.

Wail over her!

Get balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.

We would have healed Babylon, but she cannot be healed;

Let us leave her and each go to his own land,

For her judgment reaches to the skies,

It rises as high as the clouds.'

The Lord has vindicated us;

'Come, let us tell in Zion what the Lord our God has done.'

(Jeremiah 51:6-10)

This is a picture of the end times Babylon,

Spoken of in the Book of Revelation

And God's admonishment to His people to flee from her.

Babylon's inhabitants are all drunk

From the wine of her adulteries toward God Almighty,

His Christ Jesus and His Word.

Today, we see the madness that is going on in New York City

And in every city in America and the world.

They are all drunk with their hatred toward God;

With the lust of the flesh[craving for sensual gratification],

And the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind]

And the pride of life

[Assurance of one's own resources or in the stability of earthly things].

(1 John 2:16 AMP)

Today, the WRATH of God is being revealed from Heaven

Against all the godlessness and wickedness of men

Who suppress the Truth by their wickedness,

Since what may be known about God is plain to them,

Because God has made it plain to them.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--

His Eternal Power and Divine nature--

Have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,

So men are without excuse. (Romans 1:18-20)

Today, is your name written in Christ Jesus' Book of LIFE?

That is the only question of real importance;

Or will you go the way of Babylon, the way of the world, the way of America;

To complete destruction and ultimately to the Hell, God created for Satan.

I pray that all who read this message

Have their names written in the Lamb's Book of LIFE.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!

America Loves Death!

Godless America Loves DEATH! You are watching her die!

America has rejected the Wisdom of God and the Word of God;

America hates the Word of God

As demonstrated by her actions; by her laws and practice.

In hating the Wisdom of God and the Word of God She HATES Christ Jesus

Who is the Wisdom of God and the Word of God.

Christ Jesus is the only LIFE in all that exists;

And because of this HATRED of Christ Jesus America loves DEATH! Listen:

Blessed is the man who listens to ME [Wisdom],

Watching daily at MY doors, waiting at MY doorway.

For whoever finds ME finds LIFE and receives favor from the Lord.

But whoever fails to find ME harms himself;

ALL who hate ME love DEATH. (Proverbs 8:34-36)

[Christ Jesus is the Wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24)

Christ Jesus is the Word of God. (Revelation 19:13)]

What a terrible thing to live in a nation that loves DEATH;

A nation that is hopeless, helpless and condemned before the Living God

Along with ALL the nations of the world.

We live in a world that loves DEATH!

They could REPENT and God would heal them

But they have hardened their hearts; their SIN is engraved upon their hearts;

They cannot imagine a life without their SIN.

We live in a day like the day of Noah.

Why do the nations RAGE and the peoples plot in vain?

The kings of the earth take their stand

And the rulers gather together against the Lord.

And against His Anointed One [Christ Jesus].

'Let us break their chains,' they say, 'and throw off their fetters.'

[The chains of God's Commandments; His Covenant; His Word.]

Then the Lord scoffs at them. Then He rebukes them in His anger

And terrifies them in His WRATH, saying

I have installed My King on Zion, My Holy Hill. (Psalm 2:1-6)

Today, every nation is raging against God Almighty

By their actions, laws and practice.

In doing so they have made themselves WORTHLESS, less than NOTHING,

Before the Living God! (Isaiah 40:15-17)

These IMPOTENT, by comparison, nations of the world, gather together

[The United nations]

To take their stand against the God of Creation

Today, by their actions, laws and practice,

And tomorrow at The Battle of Armageddon. Listen:

The sixth angel poured out this bowl on the great river Euphrates,

And its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

Then I saw three EVIL spirits that looked like frogs;

They came out of the mouth of the Dragon [Satan],

Out of the mouth of the Beast [the Antichrist],

And out of the mouth of the False Prophet.

They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs,

And they go out to the kings of the whole world,

To gather them for the BATTLE on The Great Day Of God Almighty.

(Revelation 16:12-14)

Where is the raging and plotting against God,

Of America and the nations,

That we are witnessing today, leading? To Armageddon!

Today, You are a witness,

To how the godless are striving to break the chains

Of God's Commandments, His Covenant and His Word.

Yet, they can only break themselves in the process.

Such ARROGANCE--Such IGNORANCE!

And they will be BROKEN, surely and FINALLY and FOREVER!

SOON the godless will be terrified at the WRATH of God Almighty;

As God Almighty comes to defend Israel

And those who belong to Christ Jesus;

As He pours out His Great Tribulation on the godless;

ALL those who refused God's offer of Salvation through His Son, Christ Jesus;

Who refused to love the Truth [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12].

Understand this: God the Father has already, in the foreknowledge of God,

Installed His King, Christ Jesus, on Zion, His Holy Hill,

And NOTHING and no one can alter this REALITY! IT IS DONE!

From there Christ Jesus will rule and reign for a thousand years

With His Called, Chosen and Faithful saints. HALLELUJAH!

Come out of Babylon

[The heart-set and mind-set of the world and America],

My people, so that you will not share in her sins,

So that you will not receive any of her plagues;

For her sins are piled up to Heaven. (Revelation 18:4-5)

The political wranglings we witness in America today

Are symptomatic of the DEATH throws America is in

Before the Living God.

America has been SEDUCED by the rulers, the authorities,

The powers of this dark world,

The spiritual forces of EVIL in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12)

Today, the VILE will continue to be VILE;

Those who do right will continue to do right;

And those who are holy will continue to be holy.

Until Christ Jesus returns. (Revelation 22:11)

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!

Who Is Blessed?

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked

Or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

But his delight is in the Law of the Lord,

And on His Law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season

And whose leaf does not wither.

What ever he does prospers. (Psalm 1:1-3)

Blessed are all who take refuge in Him [Christ]. (Psalm 2:12)

Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven,

Whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him

And in whose spirit is no deceit. (Psalm 32:1-2)

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

The people He chose for His inheritance. (Psalm 33:12)

Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust,

Who does not look to the proud,

To those who turn aside to false gods.(Psalm 40:4)

Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;

The Lord delivers him in times of trouble.

The Lord will protect him and preserve his life;

He will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes

The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed

And restore him from his bed of illness. (Psalm 41:1-3)

Blessed are those who dwell in Your House;

They are ever praising You.

Blessed are those whose strength is in You,

Who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs;

The autumn rains also cover it with pools.

They go from strength to strength

Till each appears before God in Zion. (Psalm 84:4-7)

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim You,

Who walk in the Light of Your Presence, O Lord.

They rejoice in Your Name all day long; They exult in Your righteousness

For You are their Glory and strength, and by Your favor you exalt our horn.

Indeed, our shield belongs to the Lord,

Our king to the Holy One of Israel. (Psalm 89:15-18)

Blessed is the man You discipline, O Lord,

The man you teach from Your Law;

You grant him relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.

For the Lord will not reject His people;

He will never forsake His inheritance.

Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,

And all the upright in heart will follow it. (Psalm 94:12-15)

Blessed are they who maintain justice,

Who constantly do what is right. (Psalm 106:3)

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

Who finds great delight in His commands.

His children will be mighty in the land;

Each generation of the upright will be blessed.

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,

For the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.

Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,

Who conducts his affairs with justice.

Surely he will never be shaken;

A righteous man will be remembered forever.

He will have no fear of bad news;

His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

His heart is secure, he will have no fear;

In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,

His righteousness endures forever;

His horn will be lifted high in honor. (Psalm 112:1-9)

Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord.

From the House of the Lord we bless you. (Psalm 118:26)

Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,

Who walk according to the Law of the Lord.

Blessed are they who keep His statutes and seek Him with all their heart.

They do nothing wrong; they walk in His ways. (Psalm 119:1-3)

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them [children].

(Psalm 127:5)

Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways.

You will eat the fruit of your labor;

Blessings and prosperity will be yours.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house;

Your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.

Thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord. (Psalm 128:1-4)

Blessed is the man who finds Wisdom the man who gains understanding,

For SHE is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.

She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with HER.

Long life is in HER right hand; in HER left hand are riches and honor.

Her ways are pleasant ways, and all HER paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to those who embrace HER;

Those who lay hold of HER will be blessed. (Proverbs 3:13-18)

Blessed is the man who listens to ME [Wisdom],

Watching daily at MY doors, waiting at MY doorway.

For whoever finds ME finds LIFE and receives favor from the Lord.

But whoever fails to find ME harms himself;

ALL who hate ME love death. (Proverbs 8:34-36)

[Christ Jesus is the Wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24)]

Blessed are ALL who wait for Him! (Isaiah 30:18)

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn [over the sin in the world],

For they will be comforted.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

For they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,

For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you

And falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven,

For in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

(Matthew 5:3-12)

Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of Me.

(Matthew 11:6)

Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!

Blessed is the King of Israel! (John 12:13)

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial,

Because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of LIFE

That God has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:12)

And blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it,

Because the time is near. (Revelation 1:3)

Behold, I AM coming SOON!

Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.

(Revelation 22:7)

I pray that those who read this message

Are among the blessed of God and will stand with Christ at His return.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!

The Intolerance Of The Godless

The godless will tolerate any vile thing

But that which is forbidden by the Word of God.

They HATE God's Word because it tells them what SIN is;

Points out their SIN, and tells them that their SIN

Will send them to a devil's Hell.

The godless hate Christ Jesus because He tells them

That what they do is EVIL. (John 7:7)

The godless hate Christ Jesus because He is The Word Of God.

(Revelation 19:13)

The godless cannot stand the TRUTH!

And Christ Jesus is the TRUTH

They will not accept the fact that there is only One WAY to Heaven,

Because they have invented many ways to the heaven of their fantasies,

Or deny that there is a Heaven at all.

The godless are deceived and completely absorbed in their godlessness;

The wallow in their debauchery and love it.

For them, good is evil and evil good. (Isaiah 5:20)

The godless are lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud,
Abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love,
Unforgiving, slanderous, without serf-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, Treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--
Having a form of godliness but denying the power [of God].

Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-9)

The godless suppress the Truth by their wickedness.

They have no excuse for themselves.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God

Nor gave thanks to Him,

But their foolish hearts were darkened.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

And exchanged the Glory of the Immortal God

For images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles

And countless other forms of IDOLATRY.

Therefore God gave them over to the sinful desires of their hearts

To sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

They exchanged the Truth of God for a LIE,

And worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--

Who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.

Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

In the same way men also abandoned natural relations with women

And were inflamed with lust for one another.

Men committed indecent acts with other men,

And received in themselves the due PENALTY for their PERVERSION.

Further, since they did not think it worthwhile

To retain the knowledge of God,

He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

They have become filled with every kind of wickedness,

EVIL, greed and depravity.

They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.

They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful;

They invent ways of doing EVIL;

They disobey their parents; they are senseless, heartless, ruthless.

Although they know God's righteous decree

That those who do such things deserve death,

They not only continue to do these very things

But also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:18-32)

Are the godless just a few deceived and demented people?

No, they comprise most of humanity; most Americans.

They hold the highest positions in every nation.
They are presidents, prime ministers, elected officials of all sorts, judges,
Professors, scholars, scientists, doctors, mayors, city council men,

Generals, admirals, soldiers, firemen, policemen, business men, clergy,
And on and on. ALL marching to Hell

Because of their refusal of Christ Jesus' offer of SALVATION.
They are evil men and women and impostors going from bad to worse,

Deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)

The “god” of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers,

So that they cannot see the Light of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ,

Who is the Image of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

The godless are covered by a Satan imposed SHROUD

That enfolds ALL the nations. (Isaiah 25:7)

However Satan's imposed “blindness” is received willfully.

And Satan's shroud he has placed over the nations is received willfully.

Christ Jesus by His Holy Spirit has spoken to every godless person

And they have ALL rejected Him.

God sent the Holy Spirit to CONVICT men and women of their SIN

[John 16:8] And their crucial need for a SAVIOR,

But the godless have reject the Holy Spirit of God

Which is an unforgivable SIN. (Acts 17:11)

Why is America being ground to powder?

Because of Her SIN against God.

America stands INDICTED by the Word of God,

And only REPENTANCE before the Living God will take this INDICTMENT away.

The RETRIBUTION God Almighty hangs over America

Because of her Abortion Murder.

The blood of more than 55 million murdered babies

Cries out to God day and night.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!

The World: Satan's Plantation

Scripture teaches us that Satan is the “god” of this Age

[2 Corinthians 4:4], since the “fall” of Adam and Eve.

“Age” being the entire length of “Time” God has given this world to exist

In its present form; six thousand years and then The Day of Rest.

Therefore, Satan is the “god” of the world today,

And until Christ Jesus returns to reclaim His earth.

Presently, then, the world is under Satan's ruler-ship, or is his Plantation.

I use the symbol of Plantation,

Because in America, Plantations are correlated with slavery

And the Scriptures teach us that everyone born, is born into SIN,

And is therefore a slave to SIN. (John 8:34)

Satan is simply the slave owner.

This imagery helps us understand the condition of the world

And every person in it, who has not surrendered themselves to Christ Jesus,

Which is most of humanity.

Christ Jesus is the only WAY out of slavery to Satan.

He is the only One Who can set the slaves or captives FREE. (Galatians 5:1)

The Good News is that Christ Jesus will set FREE,

ANYONE who will receive Him as Savior and Lord, according to Scripture.

He can do this because He is infinitely more powerful than Satan.

When He returns he binds Satan for a thousand years

And after that sends him to the Lake of Fire, FOREVER

Along with all who remained slaves to him.

Currently every nation and every world leader is a slave to Satan.

This helps us understand the wicked condition of the world.

Satan came to steal, kill and destroy

And the results of his work are obvious in the world today,

As they have been obvious in every generation since Adam and Eve.

ALL that goes on in the world is being directed by Satan,

Apart from those who belong to Christ Jesus.

He pits one nation against another according to his will.

He is leading ALL the nations to his ultimate plan and purpose;

To present to the world his “savor,” his son, the Antichrist

The “Beast” of Revelation.

This revelation of the Antichrist is also God's Powerful Delusion. Listen:

The coming of the Lawless One [The Antichrist]

Will be in accordance with the work of Satan

Displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles signs and wonders,

And in every sort of EVIL that deceives those who are perishing.

They perish because they refused to love the Truth [Christ] and so be saved.

For this reason God sends them a POWERFUL Delusion

So that they will believe the LIE

And so that ALL will be CONDEMNED

Who have not believed the Truth [Christ]

But have delighted in WICKEDNESS. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

Why do the nations follow Satan?

Because they are deceived and slaves to their SIN;

They have refused Christ Jesus' offer of SALVATION;

The only Way out of SIN.

They have believed Satan's LIE, and DELIGHTED in WICKEDNESS,

And are therefore under his control.

Everyone is wicked who refuses Christ Jesus' offer of Salvation,

Which includes most of humanity; most of those leading America today.

What you see and hear on the news today

Is all leading in ONE diabolical DIRECTION,

The destruction of the world as we know it, according to Scripture.

Scripture lays out in great detail what happens

In this Last Hour of this Last Day.

In the END, ALL the nations of the world

Come against Christ Jesus at Armageddon.

Coming SOON is God's Hour of Trial; It is coming upon the whole world

To TEST those who live on the earth [Revelation 3:10], His Great Tribulation.

The question you must ask yourself is, will you pass the TEST?

Do you belong to Christ and does He belong to you?

Anything and everything we have held back from Christ Jesus

Satan will use against us.

You see, contrary to popular preaching, it is ALL or NOTHING with Christ.

We must love God, His Christ Jesus and His Word, Who are One,

With all our heart, mind, soul and strength or we remain lost

And on Satan's Plantation.

If we continue to SIN, we remain on Satan's Plantation, a slave to SIN.

We must deny ourselves, turn from our selfish ways,

Take up our cross, the cross of Faith,

The cross of being hated by the the world; the God haters and Christ haters,

And follow in Christ's footsteps. (Matthew 16:24)

If you have come to Faith in Christ,

You have allowed Christ to live in and through you,

You have been Baptized, Immersed in His Holy Spirit

And now the POWER of God resides in you

That enables you to resist the temptations of Satan and live in and for Christ.

You have given up your life in this life to obtain the LIFE of Christ.

It is the POWER of Christ in you

That enables you to OVERCOME this wicked world

And Satan who rules over it and nothing else.

You have been crucified with Christ to this wicked world

And no longer live but it is Christ who lives in you.

This LIFE that you now live you live by Faith in the Son of God

And His POWER at work in you.

You have set your heart of things above

Your LIFE is hidden with Christ in God;

You have clothed yourself with the garments of Christ

And let His Word dwell richly in you.

I pray that this is true for all who read this message;

That you are not living on Satan's Plantation, but in the Kingdom of God.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!

Fan Into Flame The Gift Of God

The apostle Paul tells his young disciple:

Fan into flame the GIFT of God, which is in you

Through the laying on of my hands.

For God did not give us a Spirit of timidity, but a Spirit of Power,

Of love and of self-control.

So do not be ashamed to testify about out Lord,

Or ashamed of me His prisoner.

But join with me in suffering for the Gospel,

By the Power of God, Who has saved us and called us to a Holy LIFE--

Not because of anything we have done

But because of His Own PURPOSE and Grace.

This Grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of “Time,”

But it has now been revealed

Through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,

Who has destroyed DEATH and has brought LIFE and immortality to light

Through the Gospel.

And of this Gospel I was appointed a herald

And an apostle and a teacher.

That is why I am suffering as I am.

Yet I am not ashamed, because I know Whom I have believed,

And am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him

For THAT DAY.

What you have heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching,

With Faith and Love in Christ Jesus.

Guard the good DEPOSIT that was entrusted to you--

Guard it with HELP of the Holy Spirit Who lives in us. (2 Timothy 1:6-14)

If you have come to Faith in Christ Jesus; if He is your Savior and Lord;

If you have received the GIFT of God, The Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Then you must fan into flame this most precious of GIFTS.

Listen to what Christ Jesus COMMANDED His disciples after His resurrection:

Do not leave Jerusalem,

But wait for the GIFT My Father promised,

Which you have heard Me speak about.

For John baptized you with water,

But in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:4-5)

You will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit comes on you;

And you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,

And to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

Understand that this GIFT has a volitional aspect to it;

It is up to you to Fan IT Into FLAME; No one can do this for you,

It is your personal responsibility before God and Christ.

It does help if you are around those who are like “GIFTED” and minded.

Then you help keep each other “in the Faith,” and in the FLAME of Christ,

Where the ZEAL for your Father's House consumes you. (John 2:17)

Then you will not be ashamed to be a WITNESS for Christ

Wherever you are

And even though it will inevitably bring suffering and persecution.

You will not be timid because the Spirit of Christ is not timid.

The LIFE of Christ was a LIFE of Power as He witnesses for His Father.

As the Father sent Christ Jesus so Christ Jesus sends each of us.

(John 17:18)

The ULTIMATE goal of this life for each of us

Is to fulfill God's Plan and Purpose for our lives.

This can only be done through the Spirit of God;

Christ living in and through us, our hope of Glory. (Colossians1:27)

Our message Is the same as that of Christ Jesus,

It is a message of LIFE or DEATH;

LIFE in Christ or Eternal DEATH without Him.

In our humanness it is all too easy to become lukewarm.

Unless we continually Fan into Flame the GIFT of God in us

We will become lukewarm and useless to ourselves and to God.

It can get to the point where He may have to spit us out of His mouth.

We have the same POWER that Christ Jesus had,

The POWER of the Holy Spirit.

Christ Jesus said that we would do the things that He did

And even greater things than these. (John 14:12)

For some, the only witness they will see or hear,

Is your witness for Christ.

This is the POWER of LIFE and DEATH for them.

Because of this and for our own sake we have the tremendous responsibility

To be all that Christ has called us to be; to be like Him;

To give the message and the witness of His Glory,

As He gave the message and witness of the Glory of His Father.

To do this we must GUARD the GOOD DEPOSIT we have been given;

We must use our TALENT and give it back to Christ with interest.

We must never be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ,

It is the POWER of God unto SALVATION [Romans 1:16];

SALVATION being the WHOLE PURPOSE of this life.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
