Morality or the Messiah?
The Balm of Gilead or Bill O’Reilly?

A PEOPLE’S/NATION’S/INDIVIDUAL’S​ ONLY HOPE – “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) 

There is no doubt that this nation has been given over to wicked men and yet, politics is not the answer – never has and never will be. This does not mean that it is a sin for Christians to be somewhat involved in politics by voting, etc. Yet, the root problem can only be solved and answered by the Answer Himself and we are His very ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:17-20). Jesus says “My kingdom is not of this world.”(John 18:36) The only cure to this nation’s woes is Christ and repentant men, women, and children who will truly serve Him on HIS terms, being about the heavenly “Father’s business” which is “to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 2:49; 19:10) – In other words, the Great Commission commands of Christ! Any person or church claiming to be Christian that is not aggressively obeying Christ by seeking to save the lost souls of this nation and world, is deceitfully using the name of the LORD in vain and is guilty of high treason in the Supreme Court of the Universe and under divine condemnation (Exodus 20:7).

“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Exodus 20:7   

You see, they are using His holy name as a front and yet do their own business and that which is self-serving instead of the “Father’s business.” Jesus said that He “must” be about His “Father’s business”and so all who truly follow Him are about the heavenly “Father’s business” and not their own.

Sin is man’s core problem and not wrong philosophies and beliefs. Nothing has changed. God created man and he turned against and sinned against his Maker which caused a separation. Then, the only begotten Son of God came to bridge that gap and only He can do so. So, it’s real simple – sin is every man’s core problem and Jesus is the only Answer. Are you sharing this message with the lost around you or are you being disobedient to the One you claim to love and serve?

We all know people who vainly think they are saved and spend a 1,000 times more time listening to Glenn Beck and other distracting pawns than they spend listening to Jesus in His Word and prayer. “Depart from me … “ is what they will soon hear when they stand before God if they do not truly repent and turn their lives over to the LORD (Matthew 7:21-23).

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on Glenn Beck’s books by professing Christians. With no second thought they rush to purchose his books as soon as they are off the press and yet seldom if ever crack the Bible to seek the LORD by searching His Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15).

This article is not so much a slam on Glenn Beck but rather a rebuke to those who profess to know Jesus and show Him no attention! Glenn Beck is a mormon so we know he is not a Christian but a member of a notorious antichrist cult! How is the “FIRST love” of your life? (Revelation 2:4-5)

Speaking of the divine call upon all true disciples of Jesus and the futility of teach morality to depraved, unregenerate sinners, Rick Plaunt says:

“Without doubt he is, he tells us what WE want to hear, but the source is not God. We can agree on every moral issue, and it makes no difference. We are not here to moralize the world, they can’t clean themselves up. No! We are here to preach the gospel and make disciples, then you will see a

change in society. Man by himself will not lift himself up and make a better world, and history proves that!”

Deceived people by the tens of millions who are deluded into thinking they are Christ’s children somehow find all the energy, time, resources, and wherewithal to spend on frivolous, non-eternal, not-biblical things.

“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.” Jonah 2:8  

Am I just making this up?

The Son of God warned:

“And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19

They live to please themselves not Christ and others – “whose god is their belly” or carnal appetites (Philippians 3:18-19)

“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philippians 3:18-20  

These deliberately deceived souls will have all eternity to sulk in their regret for their rejection of Jesus Christ in this brief earthly life. What shall it cost them? – Their mouths shall be filled with the gravel of remorse and when a million years have passed, not one second will have expired from eternity’s clock (Proverbs 20:17).

“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels … Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:44-46  

Jesus warns – “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:36-38  

Those who do not study God’s Word simply do not love Him. They sow to the fleshly lusts of this temporal world and not to the Spirit. They have no interest in Jesus Christ – all they want is a ticket out of hell. They have no intention of having an abiding, intimate relationship with the Savior, they just want to use Him for their own self-serving good! God is not mocked and damnation awaits!

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8

Oh, two more things …. 1) Folks, get rid of your copies of the phoney new versions of the Bible which are utterly corrupt. Get into God’s preserved Word – the King James Bible. Burn all new versions and don’t let them get into the hands of others (Acts 19:19). 2) Also, no true Christian would ever vote for a baby-murdering candidate (demoncrat) and yet it is utterly astounding that some hold their foolish, evil political views higher than God’s Word which means they are idolaters and not saved! – “Thou shalt not kill.” (Exodus 20:13) ANY person who votes demoNcratic is a murderer in the eyes of a God and Judge who is “Holy, holy, holy.”(Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) Those who vote for a demoNcrat politician are guilty of the ruthless, cold-blooded, premeditated murder of precious unborn children! On the authority of the Word of the JUDGE of all souls, I declare that they are evil, antichrist, and not saved. The JUDGE has spoken – “Ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15) Nothing could be clearer. ALL who vote for murder are murderers in the eyes of a Holy God and Judge – Rom. 1:32; 2 John 10-11 – they bid God speed to evil doers, enabling them to go MURDER precious babies. ANY person defending this is a child of the one whom Jesus told us has come “to steal, TO KILL, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Yet, some do not want their evil fruit judged. No, they wish to hide in their darkness, refusing to be brought to the light, hiding behind their evil political machine with its diabolical plan to kill (John 3:19-21). Voting demoncrat is voting for a murderer of babies and is the fruit of a depraved, unregenerate, evil beast and child of satan, not a Christian.

Repent before it’s too late!

Prayer of Repentance: Heavenly Father, please forgive my many sins. I beg You to forgive me for having other false gods before You and therefore not learning and doing You ways and Word! Have mercy upon my soul and change me beginning this moment through the grace You freely poured out through the blood sacrifice of Your only begotten Son Jesus! Amen.

Are you truly saved?  Peace with God

The Daily Cross in Prayer [podcast]


Prayer is inseparably connected with knowing God (John 17:3).

(Excerpt from the book I Die Daily)

“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” Psalms 5:3

Let’s isolate and dismantle these words of God a bit. Under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit, David says to the LORD:

  • That He (God) would hear his (David’s) “voice”
  • That “in the morning” the Psalmist would arise and seek God in prayer
  • Deliberately “in the morning,” he would “direct” his prayer and praying to the LORD – “in the morning … I will look up”

From this passage, we see that David planned or scheduled, in an intentional and calculated fashion, to meet with the LORD every morning. The phrase “in the morning” appears twice in this inspired transmission of the Holy Ghost. The man whose heart panted after the LORD – to behold His precious beauty – declared that he would “direct” (point) his prayer upward to the LORD “in the morning.” (Ps. 5:3; 27:4; Acts 13:22) Communing with the LORD was priority to David, and therefore occupied first place in his daily life. He sought the LORD firstly as he arose from sleep, and before he went forth into his day.

Jesus commanded that if any person will come after Him – truly follow Him – he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him (Luke. 9:23-24). There is no place that the cross applies more than in daily prayer. The moment one arises, he will choose either to seek God or dwell upon self-sentiments and such. He will seek Christ, or he will seek his own salvation or rescue from his troubles. We all make a “daily” choice:

“… choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

No different from those covenant saints the LORD spoke to in this important passage, those whom we dwell among are serving self – the flesh – and yet we are called upon by the LORD to “choose” to daily serve Him rather than self. We are called to “be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life.” (Phil. 2:15-16)

The LORD is calling us to purposefully declare Him as the LORD and Master of our lives, and this we do by making the premeditated decision to seek Him daily in prayer communion. Like Joshua, the way we “choose” to “serve” God must be premeditated, deliberate, daily, and in practicality. Daily, early morning, first fruit prayer is all three of these. It is the fruit of the crucified life – the life that is dead to self and in whom Christ dwells and reigns. – “Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3)

To those who seek God and not their own devices, there are many benefits (Ps. 68:19).

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

The precious peace of the “Prince of Peace” rules and reigns and makes sound the hearts of those who deny self’s ability to overcome and solve issues and problems, and instead earnestly and diligently rely upon God’s power to do such for them (Isa. 9:6; 26:3).

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:3-4

As we fix our whole being upon Jesus Christ, our thoughts will be upward to His “glorious high throne,” which is “the place of our sanctuary.” (Jer. 17:12)

God is calling each of His saints to give his whole being to Christ, and to those things that “are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Php. 4:8).

So, according to Philippians 4:6-8, saints are to rely upon the LORD and not self by submitting all their requests in prayer to Him who is their Source, and to think upon those things of Christ which are “true … honest … just … pure … lovely … of good report … if there be any virtue … if there be any praise.” It is upon “these things” that we are instructed to “think on.” (Phil. 4:8)

God’s thoughts are infinitely higher than ours, and yet it is not until we become truly “crucified with Christ” that we are going to be ruled by His thoughts and peace (Isa. 55:8-9; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 4:6-7).

Changing the way one thinks is being done by millions of people who are not regenerated (not born again). New age and religious teachers hold this thought transformation teaching closely. Anyone can change the way they think for self-serving reasons – to stop smoking, to visualize and earn more money, to have more self-esteem, etc. However, hell still awaits all who are not born again, and that takes facing the living God and Judge in repentance for sin and placing all faith in Jesus Christ, the only Savior (Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5). The only renewing of the mind and thoughts that brings glory to Jesus Christ, is that which begins with one casting his whole being upon the LORD afresh – presenting himself a “living sacrifice … unto God.” Let’s look at Romans 12:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Those who are presenting their bodies to the LORD as “living sacrifice(s)” are infused and enabled by His grace to keep their minds or thoughts stayed (fixed) upon the LORD and not self, as they look for Jesus’ soon return (Col. 3:1-4). They trust Christ and not their own strength, reasoning, whims, philosophies, or wisdom. As they give themselves over to Christ and His infinite divine power, and become weak in self and self’s abilities, Jesus’ power raises them up to trust Him and rely upon Him alone – to rest the weight of their whole beings in Him who is able. They first declare that they are not able, and that only “God is able.” (Eph. 3:20; 2 Cor. 9:8) These are they who have and are finding out in a personal way that there really is nothing impossible with the LORD!

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

Abraham trusted God. He is our human example of a man who walked with God – by faith believing that God would raise up that to which he died. Concerning the promise of a son being born to him and his aged wife, the Bible records these words from the LORD to His servant Abraham:

“Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” Genesis 18:14

If God can and will split the Red Sea for His people, and cause a 100-year-old man and his 90-year-old wife to have a child, what in your life can’t He do? (Gen. 17:17)

Here’s yet another question posed to our hearts from the LORD:

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27

God requires that we die to self-will, self-help, and self-esteem, and lay our lives in His holy, perfect, and more-than-sufficient hands. He can then work in us and in our lives – raising up His holy standard and power to glorify Himself in and through His children. Nothing will be impossible for the LORD to perform in the lives of those who deny themselves and, like Abraham, trust God to raise up His solutions, answers, and blessings to bring Himself glory.

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth (makes alive) the dead, and (God) calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Romans 4:17

God called forth Isaac out of Abraham’s loins when it was an otherwise impossibility in the natural. In your life, beloved, “Is there anything too hard for the LORD?” (Gen. 18:14)

Our connection with God is all about relationship, and the quality of that relationship is exemplified in our prayer lives – or lack thereof. If a person is pursuing the LORD, he has a prayer life. He lays down his own desires and life and seeks God’s life. This is perhaps in no other scrutiny seen more clearly than in the value he assigns to his prayer life, and the heart affections and time he is willing to invest in it.

In Psalms 63, the Psalmist captures the life of the person who truly has a heart after God.

“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.” Psalms 63:1-8

The following is an excerpt from My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers:

“’At that day ye shall ask in My name.’ John 16:26.  We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get through it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing only for us – a complete and entire and absolute identification with the Lord Jesus Christ, and there is nothing in which this identification is realized more than in prayer.

‘Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.’ Then why ask? The idea of prayer is not in order to get answers from God; prayer is perfect and complete oneness with God. If we pray because we want answers, we will get huffed with God. The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect, and our spiritual huff shows a refusal to identify ourselves with Our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove God answers prayer; we are here to be living monuments of God’s grace.

‘I say not that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you.’ Have you reached such an intimacy with God that the Lord Jesus Christ’s life of prayer is the only explanation of your life of prayer? Has Our Lord’s vicarious life become your vital life? ‘At that day’ you will be so identified with Jesus that there will be no distinction.

When prayer seems to be unanswered, beware of trying to fix the blame on someone else. That is always a snare of Satan. You will find there is a reason which is a deep instruction to you, not to anyone else.”

PRAYER: Father, please bless this life to honor You and Your will first and foremost in this life You have granted, by my being authentically crucified with Christ. Please unite my heart to fear Your holy name and to number with wisdom this short time on this earth as a gift from You. I love You, Jesus, and thank You for dying for my sins and for the resurrection power of the Holy Ghost You placed in us upon salvation, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. You must increase but I must decrease. This moment, if never before, I declare and deliberately decide to place You first daily in my life – I am crucified with Christ. Early will I seek Thee. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Current Events and the Name of Jesus Christ [podcast]


“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:13-14

IF we are praying God’s WORD in the name of JESUS CHRIST…. in His bless-ed humility, God is answering!

I don’t think we begin to realize the power that is in the name of Jesus Christ – and available exclusively to those who are HIS.

Memorize the word of our LORD Jesus recorded in John 14:13-14.

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3

One commentator notes: “The universal fascination with knowing what is going on in the world has ancient roots. Knowing that Jesus is a well-known rabbi, some ask for his take on the hot news of the day. “There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices” (Luke 13:1). Pilate, the governor, has executed some Jews while they were in the act of offering their sacrifices, mingling their blood with the animal blood. Jewish sentiment is likely strongly against Pilate, although some seem to be critical of the people who have suffered. Maybe they deserved it.”
