Am I missing something?

LET’S STOP COMPLAINING AND START CONTRIBUTING AND COMMUNICATING! SHALL WE SHUT UP AND SERVE? FEELING DEPRIVED? TODAY’S OUR DAY TO REPENT ON OUR FACE BEFORE A HOLY GOD WHO WILL THEN GIVE US A THANKFUL HEART!

GOD didn’t send us to marvel at all the increasing darkness of this world. No, in fact, He warned us it would be this way and yet, commanded that we “Preach the gospel to every creature” as we eagerly await His soon return (Mark 16:15-20). Why curse the darkness when we can obey Jesus by shining His light into the midst of it?

YOU are no hero or genius to see evil. It’s everywhere. What are you doing to bring God’s solution? That’s what Jesus came to do and that’s what He sent His people to do (Luke 4:18; Matthew 28:18-20, etc.).

Are you known more for what you’re AGAINST or for what you are FOR?

THE WORDS PREACH, PREACHED, AND PREACHING APPEAR 138 TIMES IN GOD’S WORD. PROTEST, PROTESTED, PROTESTING APPEAR JUST 7 TIMES. SEE A PICTURE?

We are not the Judge, God is. and yes God the Judge has spoken to us – in His written Word – but “The wrath of MAN worketh not the righteousness of God.” (James 1:20) “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.” “them that are without” concern those who are outside Christ’s kingdom (Colossians 4:5)

Jesus told us to “Go…preach” and not “go protest” Mark 16:15

Jesus and His apostles came to preach the kingdom of Heaven and didn’t spend much time protesting the paganism and darkness of this fallen world. Think about this: Do you walk into a room and complain that it’s dark OR do you simply flip the light switch and turn on the light?

Jesus came to save, not condemn! (John 3:17; Luke 9:56) He will condemn all who deny Him and His offer….. hell awaits, yet His will is to save! (2 Peter 3:9)

The earth was already under the blanket of darkness after the fall of mankind (Genesis 3, 6, etc.). When Jesus and His holy apostles came on the scene in the perfect timing of the Father, they shone the light of truth which began to pierce the darkness. Perhaps when we individually begin to see that Jesus came to bring the solution, we will begin more to apply it ourselves. Instead of cursing the darkness we will simply do more shining the light into it. Here’s a verse that captures this truth of why Jesus came and the way He operated:

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18

TURN ON THE LIGHT PRECIOUS SAINTS – LET IT FLOOD THE DARK HEARTS AROUND YOU!

Why not use the energy God gives you preaching Christ than giving Satan glory by wasting all your time protesting his evil works? If they are so evil, why not apply the solution – Christ!

There are several pagan holidays every year and each one of them is an opportunity for God’s people to shine the light of Christ into the hearts of men whom Jesus desires to saved! For example, halloween is of the devil-let’s shine Christ’s light into the darkness-Opportunity!

BIBLICAL FACT: Acts 17 Mars Hill – Paul didn’t condone falsehood and neither did he waste his time going on a tirade against their paganism …. He preached Christ and called them to repent.

—- Protest or Preach? Did the earliest saints protest or preach Christ, His Word, and His Gospel? It’s sad to see that so many are identified by what they are against instead of being identified with Christ by preaching Christ and His glorious Gospel.

As Christ’s ambassadors, our identity is not in what we are against but rather that we are Christ’s (Colossians 1-2). Beware of those who become proud of what they are against instead of that they are in Christ and that He is their all in all and reigning supreme in their lives. Yes, God’s people must “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” as they are rooted and grounded in the saving grace of Christ (Jude 3-4).

Is Jesus calling you to a more authentic, cross walk with Him?

WHEN is a human being forgiven? When were you forgiven? When you repented and put your faith in Christ, right? …. The LORD doesn’t expect sinners to stop sinning! NO, He expects HIS people to grow up and go preach so the lost sinners can be saved … let’s wake us saints, let’s grow up into Christ (Ephesians 4). … SAINTS, Let’s Stop Protesting and Start Preaching …. Repent.

QUESTION ASKED:
Should Christians celebrate Christmas?”

If we would receive a greater portion of God’s grace – His divine influence on our hearts – we would cease making an issue out of these type things and simply use this season and the occasions afforded to minister His Love and truth. As a born again New Testament believer we are “ambassadors for Christ” and celebrate the coming of Christ into the world – and also died on the cross, was buried, and rose again from the dead! (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20) … Matt 1-2, Lk 1-2, etc. 1 Tim 1:15….. Why not use this season as an opportunity to share the first coming of Christ and preach the second coming. Share the 10 Commandments to convict the sinner and then the saving Gospel (Good News) of Christ! It’s good to be aware of the pagan aspects of this season and avoid them and just use it as an opportunity to spread God’s love and truth by communicating His Word as we are brought together with friends and family. Preach! Use this as a springboard saints – YES, Jesus was born and YES He came to die to give us life! (John 3:16) Preach! Pray for open doors – open hearts to receive His Word! Ask the LORD and He will surely open up many opportunities for you to communicate His Word. Just watch. “Here I am LORD, send me!” (Isaiah 6) WHY DID JESUS COME? Let Holy Scripture answer this all important question! PREPARE: Memorize specific Bible versions and own them – until they just roll off your lips effortlessly! (Proverbs 22:17-21)

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” 1 Peter 3:15

Look, we are surrounded with pagan idolatry every single day of the year and yet, did God call us to make that the main issue or preaching His holy Law to convict and Blessed Gospel to save?

STOP PROTESTING AND START PREACHING! … Some who pretend to be spiritually mature seem to develop their identity around what they are against instead of taking EVERY opportunity to obey God by “preach(ing) the word” in and out of season! for which we shall all give account (2 Timothy 4:1-4). Please share.

Pride and False Prophets [podcast]


“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”  Matthew 24:11

What’s the difference between true and false servants of the LORD?

Jeremiah 23 is essential concerning recognizing the “MANY false prophets” which Jesus foretold would “deceive MANY” in this late hour before His return (Matthew 24:11).

True servants of the LORD stand in the counsel, the WORD of the LORD and not in the evil imaginations, dreams, or visions of their own wicked hearts.

Jeremiah 23
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17  They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18  For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19  Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20  The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21  I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22  But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.”

ARE YOU in God’s Word daily or have you backslidden? It’s either one or the other.

True servants of the LORD, as was the case with Paul and Timothy, will get YOU into God’s Word for yourself…

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

So both the LORD’s apostle Paul and the apostle Peter instructed believers to get into the Word of God for themselves – to “study” and to “desire” it. Any man pretending to represent Christ and not do this very thing repeatedly is a bona fide wolf in sheep’s clothing, a devil.

Imagine parents who continued to feed their infant and never taught that baby to pick up the spoon and feed themself….  so that child would perpetually be dependent upon someone else feeding them…. in the natural this is unheard of, yet it’s rampant in that which claims to be Christ’s “church.”

Read Jeremiah 23.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”  James 4:6-10

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

Pride vs Humility

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) True humility before God first, then men, always wins – “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” (James 4:10)

“Come unto Me, all Ye that Labour and are Heavy Laden, and I will Give You Rest” [podcast


God is “Holy, holy, holy” and “God is love.” (Isaiah 6:3; 1 John 4:8, 16; Revelation 4:8)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18

Jesus came and died to save us “while we were yet sinners.”

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

The Proof of God’s Love for all Men

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:9-10

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.  7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 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 21:4-8

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please do Your ever-deepening work in my heart and life. Please imbue my innermost being with your holiness, holy fear, and love. Bless this vessel to be purified, cleansed of all iniquity and falsity, made authentic by You dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.
