Family

11/26/11

Greetings,

                As you are well aware, this past Thursday was Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a time for get-togethers and reflection on all of the things we are thankful for. It is a celebration of the blessings that we enjoy in our lives. A common theme of thankfulness is the presence of family with whom we can share the ups and downs of life.

                Nonetheless, not all families are as functional as others. Some are downright dysfunctional. The most unfortunate part is that it often seems that the families that should be the most functional often have the most dysfunction. This is particularly true of a family I am going to share about today. This family is the family of God on earth.

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named” (Ephesians 3:14-15)

It is no good for any family to be in a state of feuding. When any family is broken into factions it weakens the family as a whole. It removes a foundation of identity and it opens up doors for the enemy to work his wickedness. The fact that the family of God is broken up into many factions and divided against each other is not good. Reconciliation must be established and for this cause we have all been given the ministry of reconciliation.

“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18)

The fact that the body of Christ is a family is poorly understood by a majority of Christians. If we are honest with ourselves, we often view other Christians as people that share the same religion that we adhere to. We give them little consideration beyond this. We don’t look at fellow believers as family and in this way it becomes all too easy to dismiss them as less important to our lives than they really are.

If we compare our approach to fellow believers with the approach of the first church our approach to Christianity is honestly unacceptable.

“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” (Acts 2:42-47)

This year, I challenge you not only to be thankful for your relatives and the other blessings in your life, but also for every person that is your brother or sister in Christ. I am convinced that if we begin with an attitude of thankfulness towards one another it will make it easier to break the walls that separate us.

Discussion

1.       What are you thankful to God for?

2.       Do you consider other Christians your family?

3.       How often have you felt that other Christians viewed you like family?

4.       How does the church of Acts 2 compare with your experience?

5.       How do you think that God feels as the Father of such a dysfunctional family?

The Issue of Self

11/19/11

Greetings,

                When we think about the practicality of unifying people, it never fails that one thing must first be overcome: Self. Until we get “self” out of the way it is impossible for us to live for anything that is above ourselves. Our selfishness actually becomes our limiting factor. The problem is that many Christians are unaware that they are failing to overcome in this area. Whether they realize it or not they are obstacles. They are the enemies of unity.

                There are several approaches to Christianity. Some are better than others, most are counterfeits. The “self-exaltation” approach is one that many find themselves comfortable with. This approach embraces Christianity to a degree, but then exalts the agenda of the individual far above the agenda of God. For this person Christianity is little more than a “hobby.” Maybe they like the pastor of their church. Maybe they like the blessing that the tithe brings on their business. However, it may just be that they are looking for the social status involved with being a regular church attendee. In short, they are lukewarm. For those that fall into this category, the following verses are particularly applicable.

 “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:16)

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away…” (John 15:1-2)

These people disrespect their Maker with the way that they approach Him. They spit in the face of God with their attitude and expect God to give them a pat on the back for their time. They look at the very God of the universe as if He owes them something. They exalt themselves above the knowledge of Christ, and apply their Christianity when it’s convenient.

There are other approaches to Christianity, however, that actually become self-destructive as opposed to self-exalting. This can include the “guilt-based” approach to Christianity. This approach becomes a form of bondage in an individual’s life. While they see themselves as being maximally religious they actually become self-serving in a destructive sense. This is the person caught in the cycle of “try to be Christian, fail at being Christian, beat myself up because I’m not a good Christian, and try to be a Christian again…”

The problem with this approach is that too much time is spent nursing a self-destructive cycle. In the end, these individuals are rendered ineffective in their ability to further to kingdom of God. They are actually no better at getting things done than those that are self-exalting. At the end of the day, both have failed to get “self” out of the way. The guilt-based Christian steals time away from God to invest it in self-blame and condemnation. The guilt-based Christian is usually in need of a new perspective of God and deliverance from un-forgiveness towards self. Discipleship is also an important part of resolving these issues.

Another type of self-destructive approach to Christianity is the “overly available” Christian. This unfortunately includes many present day leaders in the church. It often includes the “inner circle” of volunteers in many churches as well. These people spend so much time trying to do things for God that they spiritually dry up and become ineffective. Many times, they use it as an excuse for true spirituality and relationship with God. Even if they begin with the right intentions, they eventually fall out of relationship with God and substitute it for relationship with ministry. These people are also failing to get “self” out of the way. Ministry is work, just like anything else. Although ministry is intended to further the agenda of the kingdom we are to first build spiritually. Ministry should manifest as the natural outflow of relationships that leaders share with God. Unfortunately, some people want to build in the natural and convince others that they are doing a spiritual thing. Their ministry becomes an excuse for selfish pursuits and a way to earn the approval of others. When Martha complained that Mary wasn’t helping her do chores because she was sitting at Jesus’ feet, Jesus rebuked Martha—not Mary.

“But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:40-42)

                There are other counterfeit approaches to Christianity that could be discussed but I’m going to cut to the chase. The approach to Christianity that is called for by the Bible is a sacrificial pursuit of relationship with God. This is the kind of sacrifice that will cause a person to go without food and water because they are longing for their lover. This is the kind of sacrifice that will cause a person drop what they are doing to follow Jesus regardless of personal cost. This is the sacrifice of a wife that will do whatever it takes to embrace the fullness of her husband’s heart.

                “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.” (Revelation 19:7)

                Sacrificial lovers are the most effective Christians. They are entirely wrapped up in the lover of their souls, Jesus Christ, and don’t have room to be wrapped up in “self.” In fact, they have died to “self.” When it comes to the discussion of unity, it truly becomes a question of sacrifice. Unity requires sacrificing the agenda of “self” for the betterment of the whole. Today, many can’t embrace unity because they are too wrapped up in “self.” Who are you wrapped up in?

“I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.” (1 Corinthians 15:31)

Discussion

1.       What areas of your life are still dedicated to selfish ambitions?

2.       In what practical ways can selfishness sabotage attempts at unity?

3.       What ways, other than those described in this letter, have you witnessed others exalt “self”?

4.       What does being a sacrificial lover mean to you?

5.       What does it mean to you to “die daily”?

The Illuminati

11/12/11

Greetings,

                I want to begin this week with a question. Have you ever heard the phrase: if it were a snake it would have bit you? This phrase is usually used to describe a situation when an individual completely overlooks something that is right in their face. Think about a time when someone in your family asked you to get them something and then told you exactly where it was. When you went to get it you looked in the area, glancing right at the thing (whatever it was) and then went back to them claiming it wasn’t there. Aggravated, they dropped what they were doing to take you with them and fetch the object from exactly where they told you it was. Only at that point did you realize that if it were a snake, it would have bit you.

                There are proverbial snakes in the world today. What many in the church don’t understand is that they are already getting bitten by them. They look them in the face regularly, but are entirely blind to what is actually going on. They do not have the discernment to recognize what they are looking at, nor do most want it.

                I am going to present shocking information. It is my prayer that the majority that read this will receive these difficult things. The absence of knowledge contributes to the destruction of God’s people. Therefore, those things which are spoken of in darkness must be heard in the light.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6)

“Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.” (Luke 12:3)

The fact of the matter is: The Illuminati are real.

If you thought this was just a fictional organization or the stuff of conspiracy theorists you couldn’t be further from the truth. The goal of the Illuminati is global domination. They are the masterminds behind the New World Order… at least on the human side of things.

Before I go any further you are inevitably thinking, “Hold on… that is a bold claim. Where is the evidence?!” Here is a list of sources that will undoubtedly change the way you view this world. I am heavily burdened by the level of ignorance pertaining to these things. This is especially true because I already know that I am called to be a leader when all of this “hits the fan.” So here is the evidence, not only for the illuminati, but also for mind control, secret operations, non-human entities, underground base activity, bloodlines in the kingdom of darkness, parallel dimensions, and the infiltration of the church. The fact of the matter is that most of us have been blind to so much for so long. Many of the following links are interviews: WARNING, there will be some graphic details that are shared. I do not recommend playing the following links with young children around. These first two links come from ex-illuminati born-again believers.

Svali (Ex-Illuminati)

Mary Ann (Ex-illuminati)

The following links are auxiliary as they will give a wide range of information involving many more issues converging around the illuminist agenda. Not all of these sources are Christian, so the interviewees may not all have perspectives that are in line with Scripture. Take these stories with a grain of salt.

Keith Truth on the Illuminati - Christian

Doug Riggs (nephilim mothers) - Christian

Mark Philips and Cathy O’Brien (the reality of mind controlled sex slavery)

Brice Taylor (mind controlled sex slavery) – VERY GRAPHIC

Judy (Project Monarch mind control survivor – online blog) – VERY GRAPHIC

Robert Duncan O’Finioan (mind controlled early generation super soldier)

Aaron McCollum (super soldier overview)

Michael Prince (mind controlled super soldier)

                This seems to be how it works. The illuminati are a group of generational Luciferians that trace their lineages back to ancient civilizations (although traditional research provides an official modern day inception of 1776). They operate in secrecy through the use of occult science. They have infiltrated all levels of government, free-masonry, media, banking, and other areas of society with their members. This seems to be their pattern of relaying their agenda from generation to generation:

1.       They marry according to bloodlines and compatibility

2.       Their children are abused (in every way imaginable) to create dissociation in them

3.       The abuse fractures their core person (spiritual/soul level) and allows for the creation of multiple personalities rendering them victims of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

4.       Their personalities are programmed, structured, trained, and often demonized for the overall purpose of executing agendas with the goal of bringing about a “New World Order.”

5.       Their created personalities (alters) conduct all of the hidden, dark activity of the cult while “normal” personalities come in to present during the individual’s everyday life.

6.       The “alters” of these individuals have all of the occult powers and skill sets programmed into the individual. They conduct all of the abuse, rituals, and missions, while the person retains no memory of what they are doing. This allows one mind controlled generation to program the next, all the while leaving the spiritual hierarchy of darkness in complete control.

7.       The fact that the many of these individuals retain no memory of what they are doing allows the enemy to seed his people into the church, key areas of society, the military, the education system, etc. The people themselves often have no idea about what occurs when their “alters” are presenting. This also allows the enemy to seed “sleepers” into society that are programmed to “awaken” under certain planned scenarios like the bringing of martial law to America and the arrival of antichrist. A whole lot about this can be gleaned from the book The Black Awakening by Russ Dizdar.

This pattern is the very similar to the techniques used to create sex-slaves, super-soldiers, “Manchurian candidates” and other assets as revealed in the testimonies above through avenues like MK-Ultra in the US and Project Mannequin in the UK. These methods have been refined in the past 70 years through black research beginning in Nazi Germany and continuing into this country under project paperclip.

This is what the church is up against now. In our very pews, neighborhoods, education system, government, military, etc. are members of an extremely wicked cult (and its sister organizations) that may or may not have any idea what they belong to. The highest level bloodline illuminati are members of royal families. Added to this is the non-human side of things—something that is harder to explain. It ultimately boils down to fallen angels and their children… they are not “aliens.” When I speak of “children” I am not just referring to direct angel to human offspring as discussed by Doug Riggs, who works with deprogramming nephilim mothers. “Children” also includes second and third generation hybrids, clones, demons, and genetic abominations that come as a result of genetic experimentations by angels. This is referenced in several of the eye-witness testimonies included above. These things were spoken of by the prophet Daniel when he said “they” would mingle themselves with the seed of men.

“And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” (Daniel 2:43)

The current church is primarily looking to leaders that are scared to death of the things discussed in this letter. The average leader in the body of Christ is absolutely unequipped to deal with the implications of this activity. Even those that are willing to acknowledge these issues won’t be caught speaking out about them, and if they do they are most likely putting all of their hope in a pre-tribulation rapture. Finding leaders that are prepared to equip the body of Christ to prevail through these things has been close to impossible—until now.

God is building an army that the world does not yet see or follow. When the leadership of institutionalized religion fails, true leaders will arise. Under them the church will come to inevitable unity because like I have said—it is not optional. I am not afraid and I do not plan on being “evacuated.” I am a leader of the church of the last days and I know that there are others like me. There is no escape, just a job to do.

Discussion

1.       What are your thoughts after listening to Mary Ann?

2.       What are your thoughts after listening to Svali?

3.       What are your thoughts after learning about the history of the illuminati?

4.       How can unity help the church to become more effective in confronting the enemy?

5.       What are you learning from the other testimonies linked to this letter?

The Book of Life

11/5/11

Greetings,

                After ten months of teaching on the purpose of unity in the body of Christ, my prayer is that the importance of this message is coming alive in you. My passion for unity does not only stem from the fact that it is beneficial. It also comes because I understand that it will be absolutely necessary. The fact of the matter is that very difficult times are coming. Not just economically difficult times, but times during which things will happen that will bend the imagination. In order to stand until the end, unity will not be an option, it will be a requirement.

                One of the most difficult things for me to explain to people is that right now Satan is in the process of building an army. “Sure,” one might say, “he’s building an army of evil and corrupt people like he’s always done.” This is not the end of the matter.

                Satan wants to build an army of subservient slaves that will conform to his every whim and comprise not only his end-time army, but his entire last day empire. Satan has it in mind to make humanity obsolete by introducing society to a new class of beings. These beings will have no choice but to bow the knee to Satan and submit to his beast (antichrist). They will not be human, but they will have intelligence and consciousness nonetheless. Sound like science fiction?

                In order to properly understand this clear prophecy of Scripture we will begin with a passage from the book of Revelation:

“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (the beast/antichrist), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” (Revelation 13:8)

In the last days the beast will receive power, a throne and great authority from Satan (Revelation 13:2). As a result he will be worshipped as a god. Here is the interesting part. It is written that all will worship him whose names are not written in the book of life. This may not seem like anything important at first glance. Why should it? Isn’t it simply pointing out that anyone who doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ will worship the beast?

We must understand how the book of life works in order to truly understand the ramifications of this passage. It is difficult for people to comprehend that Satan is currently in the process of engineering the population described in this passage. However, without telling you how he is doing it (because of limited space), I will concern myself with proving to you why this passage speaks of that activity.

According to the Bible we learn that God knows us before we are formed in our mother’s womb (Jeremiah 1:5). This is because God forms our soul and spirit in the lowest parts of the earth before joining it to our body in our mother’s womb. The Bible clearly explains this in the following passage. It is from this same passage that we learn that the creation and conception of every human born is recorded in God’s book, along with all the days of our lives. This is the book of Life.

“I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.” (Psalm 139:14-16 AMP, brackets in original)

                It is absolutely essential that we understand that every person born is initially written into the Lamb’s book of life. This is why it is not the will of God that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). With that said, a word study on the book of life will reveal three populations.

1.       Those that are written into the book of life (Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, 21:27)

2.       Those that are blotted out of the book of life (Exodus 32:33, Psalm 69:28, Revelation 22:19)

3.       Those that are never written into the book of life (Revelation 13:8, 17:8)

In the Bible there is not a single passage that makes mention of names being un-blotted in the book of life. This means that the only time a name gets blotted out of the book of life is when there remains no ability for a person to receive the salvation of Jesus Christ. For most, this point will come at death. Until we die, there is provision for our salvation and this is upheld by the presence of our name in the book of life.

Now we will address the group that is never written into the book of life. As we discussed, if a person is human they are formed by God and knit to their body in the womb. At this time they are written into the book of life. The only way a person won’t be written into the book of life is if they are not human. If someone is never written into this book there is no provision for their salvation.

The population that is never written into the book of life will have no provision for salvation because they will not be human. This is the only way they can fulfill the requirement of “never” being written into the book of life. This makes reference to a new class of beings that will be released into the earth specifically to comprise large portions of the antichrist’s kingdom. This makes sense when we realize that this population only shows up during the antichrist’s rule (Revelation 13:8, 17:8). All of those not qualified as “human” will worship the beast. This is the emphasis of Revelation 13:8. Satan is in the process of creating the population of non-human entities that fit this bill because prophecy must be fulfilled.

This is a major reason why the Bible says that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man (Matthew 24:37). The days of Noah were characterized by the sin and lawlessness that resulted when the world was introduced to a new population. This population was half-human and half-angel. They were called the Nephilim.

“When people had spread all over the world, and daughters were being born, some of the heavenly beings saw that these young women were beautiful, so they took the ones they liked. Then the Lord said, I will not allow people to live forever; they are mortal. From now on they will live no longer than 120 years. In those days, and even later, there were giants [nephilim] on the earth who were descendants of human women and the heavenly beings. They were the great heroes and famous men of long ago.” (Genesis 6:1-4 GNT)

How will a divided, scattered, weak church deal with the reality of these types of circumstances? Yet in spite of these things the Bible says that the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits (Daniel 11:32)! In order to stand against such remarkable circumstances unity will not be an option. It is imperative that we begin to work towards the destiny God has appointed for His people now.

Discussion

1.       Is the need for unity in the body of Christ becoming real to you?

2.       What are the three categories formed by the book of life?

3.       What is the emphasis of Revelation 13:8?

4.       What happened in the days of Noah?

5.       Considering what the Bible tells us will come, can unity remain optional?
