In Nearly Every Conversion

Together; my wife and I have visited a local business several times in the last two years or so, but in the last few months my wife has refused to accompany me to this business. I will not mention the name of this business nor the name of a particular salesman that has caused this concern within both my wife and myself.
I certainly agree with why she refuses to join me but that doesn't make me any happier with her decision. We, like most people have to make decisions on issues which we would rather not have to deal with or even consider. Just as issues between husbands and wives can vary greatly; so too, can issues between Christians and non-Christians.
This particular issue or maybe I should just call it what it really is that has bothered both of us; it is actually disrespect. This disrespect that I am speaking of today can even be more clearly defined as blaspheming God's Holy name and the use of profanity in nearly every conversion.
As the God of all of creation, He alone is worthy of all our praise and respect and this He has made clear in the first five of the Ten Commandments, which are:
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.

In Leviticus 24, we are shown just how seriously God takes blasphemy of His name and profanity when the son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the Name of God with a curse; so they took him to Moses and Moses inquired of the LORD. And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, "Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him," (Lev. 24:14).
We also read in the Bible on issues of respect and disrespect shown to His servants as well, when in great respect and devotion Elisha would not leave the great Prophet Elijah’s side. And Elijah said unto him, “Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan.” And he (Elisha) said, “As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.” And they two went on, 2Kings 2:6.
Elisha had pledged himself to serve the LORD’s prophet, and he was determined to fulfill that pledge out of love and respect for his master. After Elijah’s departure Elisha received a double portion of Elijah’s spirit as Elijah’s heir.
Shortly thereafter as Elisha was on his way to Bethel, And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and (They) said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head, (2Kings 2:23). God’s response to this disrespect shown towards His Prophet was swift as two bears came forth immediately out of the woods and killed the mockers of Elisha.

Proverbs 1:1-7 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

True, we are living in the age of God's Grace, but the Bible does tell us that God is the same today as He was yesterday.
Praise the LORD, I believe there is nothing that we can do that God wouldn’t forgive when we come to Him in repentance of our sin asking for His forgiveness. God has proven this in my personal life in the past; and even more clearly by using me to deliver His message of forgiveness to a young lady, who had had an abortion 16 years earlier when the Holy Spirit spoke through my lips to this young Mother, promising a reunion with her first child when she gets to Heaven. This message can be found in the Blog Archive posted in January 2014, titled, The Greater Message.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:29-32

The Warnings

Today is the twenty-second anniversary of the Holy Spirit whispering in my left ear to led me to the book "Through the Fire Without Burning," which was authored by Pastor Dumitru Duduman whom God had given the visions of a nuclear attack on United States.
I ran from His message for two years and nine months not wanting to believe that God would allow this to happen to United States.

I started praying, Father God, if this is a true prophecy than You must give me the confirmations to confirm the visions You have given Pastor Duduman... Within just a few short months I received the two confirmations through a student driver named Dale Ferrari who had an out of body experience of the rapture..

April 2000 I started attending LaGrange Christian Assembly in LaGrange, IL. where I learned of a pastor having been there during the 80's who had also been given a vision of a nuclear attack on United States. This pastor informed me of the visions God had given to Pastor David Wilkerson, who had authored a book title: "Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth" revealing a nuclear attack on United States.

I immediately began praying, Father God if these are true warnings for United States than You must give me the confirmations to confirm the vision you gave to Pastor Wilkerson. Once again the two confirmations were given several months later.
God has never allowed the destruction of a nation nor of it's people before first sending His warnings hoping that the hearts of the people might turn to Him and be saved. RFC Newsletter #101

The fact that it has now been twenty two years since leading me to the first warnings is truly a testimony to how loving and merciful God is, but we should all remember.. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV).

Truth vs. Deception

Why is it that the non-Christians think they are so much wiser than Christians? Granted, most are easily smarter than this Christian but having a higher education with degrees and titles mean nothing if there is no godly wisdom...

God has given man the proof of His existence through His WORD where man can examine the many scientific facts, pertaining to the earth, the universe, the oceans, man and even medical knowledge all of which were written down in ancient times.
Archaeological facts found within the Bible have also been proven to authenticate the accuracy of God's WORD. Many events in the Bible which previously considered as just tales or stories were proved by archaeological excavations to be historical. In Palestine, places and towns, frequently mentioned in the Bible are being brought into the light of day and look exactly as the Bible describes them and are located exactly where the Bible says they were. Scholars encounter more and more inscriptions and monuments with the names of people mentioned in the Old and New Testament.

These events and scientific facts have been recorded with an accuracy that is nothing less than startling, having been written within the Bible 2000 years more or less before scientists and archaeologists discovered these facts to be true.... The accuracy of these facts can only be attributed to the inspiration of God.
However, the narrow minded non-Christians who wish to discredit God have chosen to ignore these facts in order to attack God's WORD in every way possible. These non-Christians having read selected parts from the Old Testament, with arrogance claim God to being a vicious, vengeful, murderous God who loved slavery. How foolish is it that man could believe that he is just as smart as God who literally spoke the existence of the world into being and then set it into motion?

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9

Man lacks the understanding of the times and conditions that existed at the time but in actual reality they lack so much, much more....
This is God's world, He created this world, thus He has the right to establish the guidelines by which man should live... If man doesn't want to obey God ways than God has given us the consequences for that disobedience, which is a separation from God for all eternity.

Scientific Facts In The Bible

The following was taken from a Bible Pathway Ministries Daily Devotional Guide.

********

These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the Lord (Leviticus 23:37-38).

The LORD knows us better than we know ourselves. He understands how our minds work, and the limitations of our physical bodies. He knows how we process stressful situations, and what we need to functional an optimal level on a day-to-day basis. He understands our inherent need to rest and refocus.

For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not (Isaiah 30:15).

Fortunately, the LORD also understands the human tendency to get caught up in the "drama." He knew that the Israelites had been living for centuries in Egypt, a land of non-believers. They had been exposed to, and probable had take part in, many pagan celebrations. He understood that, without direction, they would continue to "rest and relax" in sinful ways.

The LORD set aside special days and weeks for the people to rest and reflect on their many blessing. Some of these days were meant for solemn reflection and inner growth, such as the Day of Atonement, while others were meant for joyous celebration, such as the Festival of Harvest. No matter the underlying reason for the Holy Day, they all shared one common theme. Each day was meant to draw the people closer to God. The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).

The world today runs on a 24/7 schedule. Holy Days have given away to holidays, and on any given holiday over half the population will still be required to work a normal work day.

As a nation we have lost or focus on God. In our society there is no longer any one day set aside for His honor. As individuals living for Christ, we must not hide behind that excuse. We are blessed; once we have accepted Christ as our Savior, the Holy Spirit is with us all the time. Unlike the earlier Israelites, we don't have to make elaborate sacrifices and preparations in order to spend time with our LORD. However, that does not mean that we are not expected to set aside regular, scheduled time to spend with Him in reflection, worship, and celebration. If something is important to you , you make time for it. If God is important to you, then you will find the time to show it.

Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath Day, and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:8-11).

Thought for Today: If God truly is the most important part of our lives, then we should always give Him our best.

To Began A New Life

We, as true Christians know that God's WORD will be fulfilled to the letter, and no man will change His ultimate plan for man and his destiny.

We are about to close the books on this year in which has seen many heartaches in not only our lives but in our nation as well. The heartaches of seeing a government collapsing from within and all around, government leaders that put more value in the riches of this world then in their own integrity. Leaders who would lie, cheat and steal for their own welfare then to be concerned for the welfare of the people they were elected to serve.

Sadly, the vast majority of men will search for the truth all their lives and when they do hear the truth they quickly deny the truth as being nothing but lies; therefore when they do hear lies they accept them as being the truth...

I have very little doubts in my mind that there will be many more heartaches this coming year than all my previous 67 years combined for God has shown me many things and that our days are numbered. Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7).

God has given man the gift of eternal life through the precious Blood of the Lamb, His Son, Yeshua, our LORD, Savior and Redeemer and the knowledge of this truth is not hidden, it is revealed unto us in His WORD through the Holy Spirit that all should know the truth, to be set free from their sins, to began a new life..

December 28

Read Revelation 14-16

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads (Revelation 14;1). And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb (Revelation 14:9-10).

As this world draws to a close, mankind will be stripped of all pretenses. No longer will there be a "middle ground;" the time for conversation and debate will be over. We will all bear the mark of our chosen master, and we will all reap the rewards of the path that we have followed. Blessed will be those that have their Father's name written in their foreheads, while cursed indeed will be all that have chosen to bear the mark of the beast. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.

The subject of the torments of hell is shunned in many of today's churches. Christian culture pushes the image of benevolent, genteel, grandfatherly God - a God who loves and accepts everyone for who they are, without question, condemnation, or judgment. The God that is shared from man pulpits each week is often portrayed as turning a blind eye to sin, as long as the sinner's "heart is in the right place." The problem with this philosophy is as simple as it is horrifying; even as we claim to speak in the Name of Jesus, our words and actions are pushing people deeper into the clutches of Satan by allowing them to think that they can live in any manner that they choose as long as they "claim" the protection of Christ.

Giving one's life to Christ is a conscious choice that requires a sincere personal commitment. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be a servant of Christ and a slave to the world at the same time. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24). If we claim to know God, yet our first loyalty still lies to ourselves and our earthly needs and wants, then we are lying to ourselves, Jesus said: He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal (John 12:25). If we decide to protect and defend our earthly way of life above all else, then we are choosing to take on the mark of the beast. If this is the path that we take, then we need to fully understand what will be waiting for us at the end of it.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death (Revelation 21:7-8).

Thought for Today: Modern philosophy popularizes the notion that there are many different paths a person can walk through life. In reality there are only two - the one to Heaven and the one to Hell.

Eternal Gift

May the beauty and joy of this Christmas bring praise and joy to your heart and the hearts of your loved ones and God's Peace to your homes. Just a little over 2,000 years ago God gave His greatest gift unto all the world... From His Heavenly Throne to a humble manger in the East; And then back to His Heavenly Throne. God the Son, Christ Jesus to forever and ever reign over all His creation...
Though unworthy of His Loving embrace, He has poured out His Mercy and Grace that we may be forgiven of our sins and live forever in His presence.

Hallelujah Christmas

Standing Firm On The Gospel

Through the Bible in one year in 15 minutes a day, from Bible Pathway Ministries
December 22, 2015 Read II John, III John, Jude

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 1:3-4).

The Book of Jude is comprised of only one, 27 verse chapter, yet its message is vital to the well-being of every Christian in the world today. Jude addresses the thorny issue of the false teachers that are infiltrating the church, contradicting the WORD of God and working to draw Christians away from the truth before our LORD's return. It should be the desire of every child of God to faithfully follow Jude's exhortation to earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. We must always be ready to defend by whatever means necessary, the true and unaltered message of salvation through Jesus Christ our LORD.

To earnestly contend for the faith implies not only the belief that All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:(II Tim. 3:16), but also the understanding that Scripture alone is the final WORD on all doctrine of the church. We must stand firm against those that seek to dilute or add to the WORD of God. Anyone that stands before you and states that, in order to be saved, you must do either more or less than the Bible requires is a liar and must be rebuked.

Balaam (Num. 34:16) and Core (Korah) (Num. 16) are mentioned as examples of leaders who perished because they rejected God's revealed truth to promote their own interests (Jude 1:11). In today's church there is a subtle and deceptive push by certain fringe groups towards joining hands with religions that reject Jesus of Nazareth as the Only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ. As true believers, we must realize that God calls us to minister to others with godly love in an attempt to share the true message of Christ; however, He warns us not to allow ourselves to be corrupted by those to who we are ministering. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh (Jude 1:22-23).

The most insidious of all false teachers will not deny God directly; they will pay lip service to His will, while at the same time introducing their own. Jude warns that such deceivers will be judged in the same manner as God has judged all who have stood against Him. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day (Jude 1:6). They may have familiarized themselves with God's written WORD to some degree, but they have not received the Living WORD, the Son of God into their hearts. We must recognize them for what they are and prepare ourselves to stand against them, united in our faith and our love for our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Eph. 6:13).

Thought for Today: To express godly love requires selflessness without motivation; as this is contrary to our sinful nature, we must rely on God in order to achieve it.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:19-20

The Great Commission, that Jesus entrusted to the New Testament church, has continually been passed down through the ages until today where it reaches us. This commission is needed to be carried more today than ever. The commission to carry the Word of God to every corner of the world. The commission to have every person on this planet to learn of Jesus Christ and His great gift to mankind. Human souls are hungry for God's Word and many do not even know what they desire. They stand in the valley of decision. How are they to find the truth?

Bible Pathway Ministries International has one true purpose. This is to feed that hunger for God's Word. The mission God has given us is get the Word of God into the hands of every human possible and so they might be able to read and understand it. This is necessary because it is in God's Word we find the answers to life's questions. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. II Timothy 3:16-17.

"This means that God, through His Word, provides everything necessary for us to be fully prepared to be the person God wants us to be in order to accomplish the purpose for which He created us. I believe that the whole future course, character, and testimony of the Body of Christ depends - not partly - but entirely on the Spirit of God writing deeply in our hearts the importance of living all of the Scriptures. No one can live something they don't know."
- John A. Hash, Founder & Executive Director of Bible Pathway Ministries.

Dispensationalism and the Pre-Trib Rapture

Gary Stearman with Bob Ulrich

History Repeats Its Self

This is a film that everyone should have to see, however I certainly do not recommend it to the weak of heart.... Please understand, I do not post this to cause hatred and/or revenge for these atrocities but to educate those that will listen....

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV) History has proven that all government given the time will progress to become tyrannical just as Germany had in the 1930s and 40s... First they did universal healthcare, they reeducated the children, they confiscated the weapons and they relocated many of the citizens to camps.... Does most of this sound familiar?

Let us learn from this film that we may not become slaves to this government or any other government. I pray Father God, Help me to remember those words spoken by Patrick Henry in 1775 at St John's Church in Richmond, Virginia to the Virginia Convention, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" Patrick Henry words were said to be credited for having convinced the delegates to pass a resolution delivering Virginian troops for the Revolutionary War..... Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were also present in this convention.
