They Sold Their Souls to Rock and Roll - My Personal Testimony of Deliverance

My whole life prior to 1992 (Eph. 2:2-3) was given solely over wholly to the rock music industry. From playing the music to that of absolutely following all aspects of the industry and culture as some of you who knew me well know. It was my identity in many ways, and I sought to live it out in my unregenerate mind and blindness (Prov. 16:25, Eph. 2:1-3). As Almighty God began to get a hold of me, He started to redirect me by His Word, and I then began to see the many facets, evils, and vices of the whole music culture and lifestyle.

I remember saying to myself, in the last days that I played in my band "Silent Desire" (1986-1992), What are you doing? Listen to the lyrics of the songs that you play. What are they saying? Look what the consequences of this lifestyle and what it is doing to you and those who you care about greatly. I knew I had to leave it, and I knew that Almighty God could not be honored in any way or blessed by it in my life by practicing such godlessness.

Look what the consequences of this lifestyle and what it is doing to you and those whom you care about greatly.

Up to this point in my young age, I had lived a full life. After three years of challenging and wrestling with Almighty God and His Word, and trying to justify everything in my manner of living, at the age of twenty four I finally surrendered to the Lord and began to follow Jesus as my Lord and Savior (John 3:16.17). My final conclusion at that time was, Lord, you were absolutely right! I need You, and my actions were horrifically wrong. His grace and mercy showed and taught me how wrong I was and that God's long suffering with me led me to repentance and ETERNAL life (2 Peter 3:9)! That was in the fall of October of 1992. Since then, I have been truly blessed by Almighty God. He has blessed me and has filled my soul with His Wonderful ETERNAL Person and with His plan and future for my life. The music and all of its party lifestyle could never fill the ETERNAL void that possessed me. Only Almighty God can satisfy the famished soul of man (John 6).

In the end, I knew I would have to give an account to Almighty God and I would be doomed if I continued in my rebellion and sin against Him (Heb 9:27).

My final conclusion at that time was Lord, you were absolutely right! I need You, and my actions were horrifically wrong.

Before you label me a square or a nut, I would like to challenge you to objectively watch this brief series of documentaries on the music industry and its culture. On this website, you will see for yourself that there is something more sinister behind the whole godless music industry and lifestyle than meets the eye (Eph 6:12). In the end, ask yourself this simple question. Is this what you want to truly serve?

Be brave, be objective, and have the courage to face the realities at hand. Then you will see what it is all about.

The Lord Jesus stated: You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8:32).

And if the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed (John 8:36).

Put your faith and trust in Almighty God! He alone can satisfy. He alone can deliver! Put your trust in Him today. You will never be the same! 

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

My Personal Song of Personal Testimony - Matthew 4:19

Warning God's People - You Are Distracted and Your Prophetic Guard is Down!

Since President Obama has left office and the manifestation of his secular agenda has "seemed" to have diminished, many evangelical Christians have felt at ease about the rise and threat of national and social secularism. And have been encouraging themselves and focusing on President Trump's post-Obama agenda and the restoring of America. Now don't get me wrong, we should do all we can to help promote our founding father's view for America in every way, for we live in time and this is our earthly realm (Psalm 34:14, Heb. 12:14); but NEVER at the expense of putting the Gospel of Jesus Christ or the proclamation of the abundance of current prophetic events, which are EXPONENTIALLY teeming with the manifestation of the very soon coming of the Lord on the back burner.

 To my surprise since January, I and others have personally found that pre-trib prophetic interest among evangelicals has dramatically dropped and has slowed way down since President Trump has been in office.

To my surprise since January 20th, I and others have personally found that prophetic interest among evangelicals has dramatically dropped and has slowed way down since President Trump has taken office. This complacency is not good for God's people and is a demonic straw man and deception to distract and lull God's people into a state of false security and idleness, while the enemy moves his demonic agenda forward (Rev. 13). While God's people seemingly are currently distracted by the temporal and earthly of this vain life, they are neglecting Almighty God's present will for their lives and the ETERNAL Kingdom watchmen duties which we are to seek first (Matt. 6:10, 33). Now dear friends, hear me out if you please. We are not to be running around as "Chicken Littles" causing inaccurate unbiblical fears and falsely spiritualizing current events, creating confusion, for that is what Almighty God has called us NOT to do (1 Cor. 14:33, 40). On the other hand, we are to be with ALL biblical discernment and wisdom to be firstly watching, waiting, serving, glorifying, and proclaiming God's ETERNAL glory and goodness. No matter how things may seem to be moving in Washington in light of our present hour, this does not replace the REALITY that Almighty God's Day of global wrath is indeed very nigh as global events clearly tell us (Rev. 6-19), and His return and Kingdom are even at the door!

As Almighty God's watchmen, we have found - within the last two months-  that sound biblical prophetic interest has now been replaced by temporal earthly things such as the false anticipation of the restoration of America.

As Almighty God's watchmen, we have found - with in the last two months - that sound biblical prophetic interest has now been replaced by temporal earthly agendas such as the false anticipation of the restoration of America, pro-Americanism, overturning Obama-care, undoing Obama's secular policies, closing our borders, removing illegals, fighting global Islamic terrorism, creating American jobs, religiously following conservative talk radio, holding Republicans and Democrat's feet to the fire, watching Fox News 24/7, fighting for America's personal survival, supporting the pro-Trump agenda, fighting for pro-life social causes, protecting American sovereignty and interest, etc...etc. Now hear me, my dear friends: I am totally for all of these things and have been greatly encouraged by Almighty God's grace and mercy to this nation. Also, I have even been a little encouraged by President Trump, his agenda, the fight against American communism, progressivism, secularism, and globalism. However, I am NOT trusting at all in any of man's sincere attempts to restore America in light of our EXPONENTIAL LAWLESS day. I am personally seeking ONLY Almighty God's will in such an hour for His ETERNAL glory firstly and greatly rejoicing in Almighty God's grace and mercy for this nation; which (our nation) even now is at the precipice of the global ash heap and heading straight into the Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19).

We here at the IFB have been zealously praying for President Trump for Almighty God's saving grace, wisdom, and guidance in such days; but neither he nor any of our founding fathers - if they were here today - can save this sinking Titanic of a nation, for we are EXPONENTIALLY past the point of no return!

It would seem to me and some others that Americanism is now taking first place among evangelicals, who just a few months ago were very eager to hear and who were daily keeping an eye on our world's prophetic events leading to the Lord's trumpet blast and the Day of the Lord (1 Thess. 4:13-18, Rev. 6-19). My dear friends, hear this one watchman of the Lord, if you please. We were NEVER so close to losing this nation and its global restraining power as we were in November, and since then - by Almighty God's grace - He has spared our nation for a brief moment for His people to seek Him with ALL our hearts, to get out His ETERNAL Word of redemption and to blow the shofar of warning that the Day of the Lord is at hand! How can we ever think and deceive ourselves that we can save this nation when it is moments from its end! We here at the IFB have been zealously praying for president Trump for Almighty God's saving grace, wisdom, and guidance in such days; but he or any of our founding fathers - if they were here today - can NEVER nor could EVER save this sinking Titanic of a nation, for we are EXPONENTIALLY past the point of no return; for globally the Day of the Lord is at hand! I pray to Almighty God that you have the spiritual eyes to see that, for if you do not, you will be totally opened and in a place to be deceived by the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:2-4, Eph. 2:1-2).

How can any society survive when moral absolutes are hated, scoffed at,  and demonized by millions of Americans and both political parties? The answer is, “It will not! nor will it EVER!” Thus, we now see the final sad state and coming downfall of our once great and highly respected nation as the Day of the Lord is rapidly approaching (Psalm 11:3, Prov. 14:3).

Tragically, it will be this complete abandonment of social morals that will be America's final demise.

Tragically, it will be this complete abandonment of moral absolutes that will be America's final demise, and my dear friend, we are already there! This nation - due to her abandonment of moral absolutes and the soon-coming Rapture of the body of Christ - will finally implode on herself, thus opening the door to the entrance of the Four Horsemen and the dreaded Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19). My dear friends, it is absolutely crucial for all of Almighty God's people to keep Almighty God first and His ETERNAL purpose first in such days. My friend, if you are one who knows NOT the Savior, please be sure that you personally DO (John 1:12, 3:16-17, 1 John 5:10-13). This world is headed into the final showdown between demonic and human lawlessness versus the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God; between Lucifer, the fallen angelic creature verses the ETERNAL GOD and CREATOR of ALL (Rev. 16:13-16)! Be sure that you are on your Creator's side, who loved you and died for your transgressions and to be your propitiation and Savior (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Rom. 10:4, 1 John 4:10).

My dear friends, the Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand!

Our Hope and Future is IN the ETERNAL Person of Jesus Christ!

Beloved, Do not let your hearts be troubled by the affairs of this world or the circumstances of this temporal life, BELIEVE IN Jesus and place ALL your trust IN Him, for it is IN Jesus Christ ALONE that there is EVERLASTING HOPE and FULL ASSURANCE (Acts 4:12, Rom. 1:16, Col. 2:2, 2 Tim. 1:12). Do your part to the fullest as an America in these last days; all the while knowing that NOTHING will stop the Rapture of the Church, Day of Lawlessness, the Lord Jesus’ glorious second coming, the establishment of His 1000 year reign in TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS (Dan. 2:43-44,;7:13-14; Isa. 11) and then the ETERNAL State of the Kingdom of God (Rev. 21; 22:1-5)!

Dear friends, be sure to see the BIG ETERNAL PICTURE first, then all will fall into place! ETERNITY with our Savior is our future, NOT this fallen demonic wasteland called planet earth. Our future is in a Person, the Person of Almighty God the Son.

Dear friends, be sure to see the BIG ETERNAL PICTURE first, then all will fall into place! ETERNITY with our Savior is our future, NOT this fallen demonic wasteland called planet earth. Our future is in a Person, the ETERNAL Person of Almighty God the Son (John 6:35; 11:25, Rom. 8:28-39, 1 Cor. 1:30-31; 13:1-4, Eph. 5:25-27, Col. 1:27, 1 Thes. 4:13-18, John 3:1-4, Rev. 1:5)! Oh Beloved! This wondrous REALITY and TRUTH will indeed set us free from this world's temporal bondage and from Satan and his many-faceted straw men, which are set up out there to distract us from all our promises in our ETERNAL Savior  (John 8:32, 36, 2 Cor. 4:3-4, Col 3:1-4)! Beloved, let us use all of these things to draw us EVER closer to our Savior and NEVER let our heart be troubled, for we are safe as can be in His risen, glorified, nail-pierced hands FOREVERMORE (Matt. 28:20, Luke 12:7, John 10:28, 14:18, Rom. 8:28-39, Rev. 1:17-18)! Rejoice and praise Almighty God that our hope in such days is in the ETERNAL Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us (John 14:1-3, Rom. 8:28-29, Eph. 5:25-27)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Psalm 64 - The Prayer Warrior's Sword Against Our Adversaries!

 

Psalm 64 is to be the Church's prayer warriors' sword against our adversaries as we seek Almighty God to take America's lawless internal enemies down and to bring them to a saving relationship to Almighty God (Eph. 2:1-14)! Only Almighty God can fight for our nation at this time and may it be our sincere desire as blood-bought sons of Almighty God to pray in full assurance of faith and seek the Almighty's perfect will and plan before the trump of Christ and the EXPONENTIAL and DREADFUL Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19)! Our appeal to Heaven is this nation's ONLY hope as it was our founding fathers'! May we in our hour sincerely and RIGHTEOUSLY appeal to Heaven that we may, as believers and Heaven's ambassadors, bring many sons to the cross of Jesus and to Almighty God's ETERNAL glory (Matt. 28:18-20)! This world and time are but a snap of the finger, but the ETERNAL is FOREVER (John 3:16-17; 36)! May God lead us to national revival and reveal the ETERNAL to the temporal, unregenerate minds of Americans who are under the demonic spell of the god of this fallen world (Gal. 1:4, 2 Cor. 4:2-4, Eph. 2:1-2, 1 John 5:19)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is indeed at hand! Maranatha!

Psalm 64

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. And all men shall fear and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord and shall trust in him, and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Appeal to Heaven!

WARNING! EXPONETIAL Satanic Deception Present and Ahead! Matthew. 24

 

Do you want DIVINE REALITY today? Do you want DIVINE TRUTH today? Are you willing to BELIEVE Almighty God today? Then you will be Almighty God's freeman looking for His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS KINGDOM! If you DO NOT, then you WILL NOT KNOW, nor will you UNDERSTAND and COMPREHEND; and you will perish in the way of this world and die in your UNRIGHTEOUSNESS (John 3:36; 2 Thess. 5:1-5). Not trying to sound like a bruiser but seeking to put ALL the cards and facts on the table of REALITY at once (John 3:15-21). Our present day is absolutely SATURATED and FILLED with demonic deception and will only EXPONENTIALLY abound the more in the days ahead (Matt. 24; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; 2 Tim. 3:1-7; Rev. 13)! Who will you follow, my friends; indeed, who will you follow (Matt. 7:13-14; 11:28-30; John 14:6)?

Today, may you choose to BELIEVE ALMIGHTY GOD and find ETERNAL HOPE and DELIVERANCE in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Rev. 21; 22:1-5)! Indeed, the Day of the Lord and the Kingdom of Heaven are at hand!

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

Is There Life on Other Planets?

1.)  The Bible does not specifically address the question of life on other planets.  But the Scriptures do tell us enough for us to come up with a solid and sound answer.
 
2.)  It is an indisputable Biblical fact that out of all the planets in the universe, the earth is given preeminence and priority.   The earth was created first (on Day 1 of the Creation week, Genesis 1:1-2), and contrary to evolutionary theory, the earth existed before the sun, moon and stars, which were all created on Day 4 of the Creation week (Genesis 1:14-19).   To the unbiased reader, this indicates that there was something very special about the earth.


3.)  God tells us why He formed the earth.  He formed it for a purpose:  "For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain,   He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:18).  "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath He given to the children of men" (Psalm 115:16). The Bible clearly teaches that the earth was formed to be inhabited by people and other living creatures.  The earth, sea and skies are teeming with life!


4.)  The only life recognized in the Scriptures is human life, plant life, animal life and angelic life (which would include the holy angels and the fallen angels or demons).  There is no mention of extraterrestrial life beyond these categories. 

There has been a debate as to whether plants are technically alive in the full Biblical sense. Consider the following from an article on the Creation Ministries International website:  We have long pointed out that biblical ‘death’ can only apply to those things that were alive in the first place! As far as the Bible is concerned, plants are not ‘alive.’ In the Old Testament, vertebrate animals are described by the Hebrew phrase nephesh chayyāh (נפשׁ חיה), translated as “living creature”, or in the case of man, “living soul” (2:7). But it’s notable that plants are never described this way. And they don’t die but “wither” (Psalm37:2). Instead, plants are God’s self-replicating solar-powered food factories, which also act as solar energy concentrators.   See http://creation.com/r-c-sproul-jr-plant-death

 5.)   God tells us why He made the heavenly bodies:  "Let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so" (Genesis 1:14-15).   All of this is for the advantage of those dwelling on the earth.  Nowhere in these verses does it state that the purpose of the heavenly bodies was to provide a home for extraterrestrial life.  Instead, the heavenly bodies were created to serve useful functions for those living on earth.

6.)  Why do so many people believe in life on other planets?   It is mainly because they have been heavily influenced by evolutionary theory.  Evolution suggests that if life evolved on our planet, then life certainly could evolve elsewhere in our universe.  There must be an innumerable number of planets in the universe, and among these there must be many that have conditions favorable to life, conditions similar to what is found on planet Earth.   According to evolutionary theory, if conditions are favorable for life, then life will spring forth (almost of necessity!).  Life will evolve from non-life.  Life will spontaneously generate from lifeless chemicals by chance.   And even though the odds against it happening are great, it will happen anyway, just like it happened on Earth.  According to evolutionary thinking, even though it is very unlikely and nearly impossible that life can come from non-life, yet if you have enough time (billions of years), then anything is possible. Blind chance + time + favorable conditions = LIFE.   According to evolutionary theory, a creation is not needed.  All you need is time and unguided natural processes and favorable conditions, and life will automatically evolve from non-life.  It will just happen!   With enough time and with enough luck, anything can happen!
,

According to evolutionary theory, if conditions are favorable for life, then life will spring forth (almost of necessity!).  Life will evolve from non-life.  Life will spontaneously generate from lifeless chemicals by chance.

Not too many centuries ago people believed in spontaneous generation.   Typically, the idea was that certain life forms such as fleas could arise from inanimate matter such as dust, or that maggots could arise from dead flesh. This erroneous notion was put to rest by the experiments of Louis Pasteur in 1862.  However, evolutionists still teach that life originally came from non-life.  How life could originate from non-life is one of the biggest problems facing the evolutionists because there is no evidence that this has ever happened or that it could happen.  Some evolutionists, including Richard Dawkins (as documented in the film Expelled) have even suggested that life may have been seeded on Earth by aliens. In similar fashion, in 1973 the late Nobel prize-winning British molecular biologist, physicist and neuroscientist Professor Francis Crick, along with British chemist Leslie Orgel, proposed the theory of directed panspermia [the intentional spreading of the seeds of life to other planets by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization].   But what Dawkins and Crick never answer is where these aliens originated from.   They just push the problem further back.
, 
The Creation model recognizes that life can only come from life, and that the origin of life cannot be explained by natural processes, but can only be explained by Creation.  In other words, there is life on planet Earth only because the first life forms were created by an Almighty Creator.  According to the Creation model, favorable conditions on a distant planet are not enough.  In order to have life on any planet, that life must be created.   Life doesn't just happen and life does not come from nonlife.   Only God can create life.   Life does not arise from nonliving material.  Cellular life can only originate by way of creation.
 ,

 The Creation model recognizes that life can only come from life, and that the origin of life cannot be explained by natural processes, but can only be explained by Creation.

John G. Hartnett explains the problem facing evolutionists:  "The probability of life arising by chance from a pile of chemicals has been calculated by various people as an impossibility even given all the atoms in the known universe representing experiments over the alleged 13.8 billion years since the supposed big bang. Even if you shuffled all those atoms, or even started with them in the form of the required biomolecules and randomly shuffled them, you would not get life. Many researchers have admitted the problem. Life could only arise through a super-intelligence creating it; it would not ‘evolve’ anywhere" [Life on Earth 2.0—Really?, article found on creation.com website]
If there is life on other planets, then that life is there only because of creation, not evolution. However, there is no indication from the Scriptures or from empirical observation that such life exists elsewhere in our universe.  The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is the collective name for scientific activities undertaken to search for intelligent extraterrestrial life. For example, electromagnetic radiation is monitored for signs of transmissions from civilizations living on other worlds.  Scientific investigation of this potential phenomenon began shortly after the advent of radio in the early 1900s. Focused international efforts to answer a variety of scientific questions have been going on since the 1980s. More recently, Stephen Hawking, a British physicist, and Yuri Milner, a Russian billionaire, along with the SETI Institute, announced a well-funded effort, called the Breakthrough Initiatives, to expand efforts to search for extraterrestrial life.  All of these efforts have been in vain.  No evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found.

7.)  People also believe in life on other planets because the media has predisposed America and the world to this belief.  For more than seventy years, we have been saturated with movies and television programs which feature aliens.  These have been a major part of America's entertainment diet.  Here are just some of the movies and television shows which feature extraterrestrial life:  2001: A Space Odyssey, The Abyss, Alien Abduction, The Andromeda Strain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Cowboys & Aliens, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Independence Day, Lost in Space,  all the Superman movies and TV shows, Men in Black, all the Star Trek movies and TV shows, all the Star Wars movies,  The War of the Worlds, The X Files, etc.   For a more complete listing, see;

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_featuring_extraterrestrials

 
The viewing audience would recognize any of these movies as fictional. However, most would say that these movies are based on reality, and that reality is that somewhere out there are intelligent life forms on other planets.  And even though we have never encountered such creatures, most believe that they are there and that it's only a matter of time before we meet them, and hopefully they will be friendly!

8.)  Another major influence in the development of an extraterrestrial mindset is the numerous accounts of UFO sightings and even UFO abductions.  Yet to date there has never been any sighting or abduction which has been so well documented (by photos, eyewitnesses, physical evidence, etc.) as to convince everyone.  No one doubts that the Titanic sank in the Atlantic or that the terrorist attack on 9/11 took place because the evidence is indisputable.   UFO believers have never been able to produce this kind of indisputable evidence.
Creation Ministries International has a wealth of material answering almost every question about UFOs. The following link is a good place to start:

 9.)  After this age has run its course, the next age, the Kingdom Age, will be ushered in. Scores of Bible passages make it very clear that the Messiah, Jesus Christ the Son of God, will be the exalted King during that time, and will reign from His Davidic throne in Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:1-4; Isaiah 9:6-7; Jeremiah 2:15-16; Luke 1:31-33).  His reign will be on this earth, and not on any other planet.  During the Kingdom Age, the earth is given preeminence and priority, and there is not the slightest hint that any other planet or any other intelligent life forms are involved.

10.)  The total destruction of the earth and the universe is predicted in the Scriptures in such passages as 2 Peter chapter 3, Matthew 24:35 and Revelation 20:11.  In these end-of-the-world prophesies, the earth is given preeminence and priority.  It is the earth that "shall be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10) in a cataclysmic destruction by fire.  The universe also will be destroyed (2 Peter 3:10-12; Matthew 24:35; Revelation 20:11), but no other planets are mentioned or singled out by name, just the earth.  This destruction will be followed by the creation of the new heavens and the new earth, a new universe uniquely prepared for eternity (Revelation 21:1; 2 Peter 3:13).  Again, the earth plays a major role in God's prophetic drama, and no other planets are mentioned.

Dear Friend, The Creator of this universe, the Almighty One, paid a visit to this planet two thousand years ago.  "But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His Son" (Galatians 4:4).  "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14).  "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world" (1 John 4:14).  "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" (1 Timothy 1:15).   This is the visit from outer space that we need to concern ourselves with.

The tragedy is that so many people believe in aliens, but they don't believe in the Son of God who came to bring them salvation and ETERNAL life!

Jesus Christ died on the cross and paid the penalty for our sins.  "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust (the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones), that He might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18).   And after His victorious and finished work on the cross He rose again from the dead and "passed into the heavens" (Hebrews 4:14).   The tragedy is that so many people believe in aliens but they don't believe in the Son of God who came to bring them salvation and eternal life:  "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" (1 John 5:11-12).   Choose life today!   "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Conservatism Without the Righteousness of Almighty God is a Big ETERNAL ZERO

In the last twenty years, we have seen as a people the near-complete erosion and extinction of conservative policies and programs in US politics. The United States is EXPONENTIALLY becoming a secular socialist state while rapidly abandoning and despising our representative republic.  Our Judeo-Christian heritage, morality, and values do not dominate our culture and society as they once did, which has led to our ruin. 

Conservatism Without the Righteousness of Almighty God is a Big ETERNAL ZERO!

Another reality is that many have never known any other kind of society than what presently exists. Accountability, responsibility, and virtue are “hisses and by-words” in Hollywood, the Media Establishment, social media, College/University Campuses, and in Washington D.C. In the Ivory Tower realms of the Societal Elite, there is also found scoffing and mocking. These groups on the Left absolutely despise “nominal” Christianity and hate even more true Biblical Christianity. They seek to slander Christianity – and especially Christians - at every opportunity while they defend all sorts of godlessness, immorality, and vice. There was, however, a “new wave” in the arena of talk media led by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, etc., who used to lead the current fight for conservatism. These were able ar one time to counter the mainstream Media's secular leftist liberal bent, but now they are unable to stop the EXPONENTAL erosion and corrosion in secular leftist Washington D.C. In light of our day what are conservatives to do? Many conservatives are frustrated, many try to be optimistic, many are frightened, and many have just plain given up.

The sad thing today is that many conservatives have no comprehension of the Kingdom of God, which Christ will set up at His triumphant return to earth.

The reality is that now that these crucial foundations have completely eroded, they will never come back (Psalm 11:3). Is it hopeless for conservatism? Yes, indeed, if Almighty God is left out of the equation. God’s Word asks the reader of Psalm 11:3, If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? The sad thing today is that many conservatives have no comprehension of the Kingdom of God, which Christ will set up at His triumphant return to earth. This glorious truth is clearly taught throughout Almighty God's Word, the Bible. Conservatives, in general, are "church-going” individuals who, "have a form of godliness but no power" (2 Timothy 3:5). Many are biblically illiterate and adhere to church traditions rather than truth. They know nothing of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS demands required for fallen man (i.e., man with a sinful nature) as revealed in Scripture. When it comes to “A-B-C” knowledge of the simple truths of the Bible, ignorance is to be found greater than understanding. There is little biblical reality or soundness when it comes to what most conservatives really believe.

Conservatism without the Christ of The Holy Scriptures and the righteous perfection of Almighty God is absolutely bankrupt.

Fallen humanity which only practices a “moral lifestyle” and "conservative principles" is still bankrupt and fallen and therefore doomed. The Bible speaks overwhelmingly of the EXPONENTAL godless and lawless conditions that will abound and will be present in the last days preceding Christ’s glorious return (Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19; 19:11-21)!

2 Timothy 3:1-5 states: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

And in 1 John 2:18, "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." (This describes a universal attitude or spirit that hates the True Christ of the scriptures.)

In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-7a, "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work…"

These conditions have always existed, but they have never existed at this EXPONENTIAL intensity and at this EXPONENTIALLY global level as seen today. Conservatives must face the reality that these conditions must come to pass before the triumphant return of Christ to earth, without whom there is absolutely no hope.  There is no, nor will there EVER be, a man-centered conservative utopia on planet earth without Jesus Christ; to even seek such is a demonic delusion and the height of vanity!

What must a Conservative do?

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed" (Romans 10:9-11).

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved!" (Acts 16:31).

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil" (Proverbs 3:5-7).

"Have faith in God." (Mark 11:22).

"And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come" (1 Thessalonians 1:10).

There is hope today and it is found only in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the World! "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).

In these trying Last Days before Christ's return in the clouds for His bride, may Conservatives abandon their trust in self-righteousness and conservative optimism by replacing it with biblical realism and optimism. In doing so, they will ultimately find their hope and trust in Almighty God and His Word alone. Conservatism without Christ is pure vanity and has absolutely no ETERNAL future!

Dear friends, our ETERNAL hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness! On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Conservatism's General Rejection of Biblical Authority

Father's Day in Last Days America

The family unit (i.e., Father and Mother) is Almighty God’s design to protect and insulate mankind from the immoral ravishings, which manifest themselves by the violations of the moral absolutes instilled at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:1-31, Ex 20:1-17, Mark 10:19, Rom. 13:9, Heb. 13:4). It is a strong family unit that rests and abides on the moral absolutes of time that will keep and preserve society from decadence violence and social breakdown. When these moral absolutes are rejected, the horrific consequences that follow are devastating to the children and nation. In light of our day; godly fathers are greatly needed but there are very few of them to be found and the result of their absence is seen throughout America's society and culture.

It was man’s rejection of Almighty God’s moral absolutes and Divine mandates for the family which led to the Genesis flood (Gen. 6) and it will be the global rejection of Almighty God’s moral absolutes for the family unit which will lead to the Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19).

My dear friend, it is an ETERNALLY, HORRIFIC, and a SOBERING thing to fall into the hands of the RIGHTEOUS judge and ETERNAL God of Heaven and earth (Heb. 13:4). When a man rejects and refuses Almighty God’s design for society and the family he will be held FULLY accountable in that Day of Judgment (Matt. 12:36-37, Rev. 20: 11-15). What one does not recognize is that the deeds of a man's life here in time have huge consequences on his family (pro or con) and on society in general and will follow him all the way into that Day to be manifested and to be judged accordingly (Matt. 12:36-37, Rev. 20:11-15).

The American male today is a wild man and there is no taming him. He is lawless, a sexual deviant, a hunter of erotic pleasure and self-gratification, irresponsible, godless, and a destroyer of his offspring and the youth of America. Today how many fathers truly seek Almighty God's plan for their life and will for their family with all their heart, soul and mind? The God-fearing father is near extinction today and is the butt of every joke from the lawless reprobate American culture. The fall out from his absence today in America has left horrific social devastation everywhere throughout our land.
.

My dear friend, may it be our sincere desire to be ALL that Almighty God would have us to be to our wives and our children (Rom. 8:29). As the Day of the Lord is at hand, we as fathers have much to offer our children and loved ones. We have much to tell them of Almighty God’s WONDROUS LOVE and ETERNAL HOPE (John 3:16-17, Rom. 8:28-39, 2 Cor. 1:9, 20, 1 John 3:1-3, Rev. 21-22:1-5). For us who know the Lord, this world is not our home and Almighty God has rescued us from the destructive consequences that will FOREVER follow those who rebel against the Creator of Heaven and earth (John 14:1-3, 1 Cor. 9-11, Gal. 1:4, Rev. 20:11-15). We have a Heavenly Father who ETERNALLY loves us! What could ever be greater than that!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The Exponential Unemployment Rate Under The Messiah

You’re Fired!

Not exactly the words one wants to ever hear from his supervisor. But what if you were fired from a toilsome and difficult job, in a dirty and dangerous place, only to be hired by a perfect Employer, for a perfect job, in a beautiful place of countless blessings and rewards?

The Bible teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ will reign over a literal one-thousand-year kingdom on this earth from His throne in Jerusalem one day (Isa. 2:1-4;11, Zech. 14:9-21, Rev. 20:4-5). Sadly, for too many believers, this truth almost seems like a fairy tale because they simply don’t mix faith with the Word of God (Heb. 4:2; 11:1, 6). In today’s study we will consider some of the characteristics of this future Kingdom, things that will and things that will not be done “in all his holy mountain”.

He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron!

As part of His glorious return to earth, the Lord Jesus Christ will break both the power of the nations as well as the curse that has been on the earth since Adam’s sin (Isa. 11:1-9; 35, Rom. 5:12-21). Revelation 19:15 says that, “out of His mouth go’s a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” Psalm 2 as well as the prophetic books of Isaiah, Daniel, and Zechariah all echo this absolute victory that Jesus Christ will bring to His people Israel and in turn to the whole earth (Isa. 24:21-22, Dan. 2:44-45, Zech. 12:3-4; 14:1-3).

But putting down earth’s rebellion is only the start. The Bible also teaches that the One who wore a crown of thorns will also remove the curse from which they grew. Zechariah 14:8-9 tells of this wonderful healing that will begin when the King of the Kingdom is received. "And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one."

How Will We Serve the King?
.

Well first, let’s think about some jobs and industries which will no longer be needed in the Kingdom Age. This of course only represents a partial list, as it is impossible to envision just how fully the curse has affected the earth and how much effort mankind spends fighting the consequences of it (Gen. 3:17-19).

It goes without saying that all employment in immoral industries such as Casinos, Nightclubs and Liquor Stores will be gone. While it’s true that there will be unsaved people born during the Kingdom years, all sinful activity will be held in check by the omniscient and instant judgment of God (Ps. 2:9, Isa. 11:4, Rev. 19:15).

Gone too, will be all branches of the military and all factories that manufacture munitions and weapons of war. Every military academy across the world will close as Almighty God’s Word declares , “he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plow shares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” Micah 4:3.

While it’s true that there will be unsaved people born during the Kingdom years, all sinful activity will be held in check by the omniscient and instant judgment of God

There will no longer be a need for policemen, law enforcement, night watchmen or guards of any kind. All prisons will be closed and there will be no employment relating to the criminal justice system or courts, whether at the state, local, or federal level. This means no judges, lawyers, bail bondsmen, bounty hunters or private detectives.

Since the only people that will die during the Kingdom years are those who commit an open act of rebellion, there will be no hospitals, doctors, nurses, convalescence homes, emergency responders or search and rescue personnel. Drug stores and the pharmacists’ they employ will no longer be necessary and no one will research diseases, run charities or lobby for a social cause. Both the psychiatrist and the psychologist will find different employment for lack of customers.

While farming will still be practiced, good crops will grow naturally and it will be impossible to grow a weed. Both the pesticide and fertilizer industry will cease and there will be no need for either the veterinarian or the exterminator. Instead of back-breaking work, during the Kingdom, farming and gardening will be fun!

Since the weather and climate will be perfect, there will be no weathermen to try and predict it or insurance companies to sell products that protect against it. Manufacturing will cease for any and all products that battle rust, corrosion, mold and decay. Even the cosmetic industry will stop as there will be no battle against the ravages of the aging process.

So what then will believers do and how will they serve the King of kings in the Kingdom?

The Lord Jesus taught that the key was faithfulness. “And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.” Luke 19:17. By inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul reminded believers, “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” 1 Corinthians 4:2.

Jesus will give each believer a perfect position in the Kingdom based on their faithfulness to Him today.

The Lord told his disciples, “Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32. God told Israel, “as a young man marries a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” Isaiah 62:5. The Lord Jesus Christ loves us as his bride (Eph. 5:23-32)!

God promised by the prophet Zechariah, “In that day, says the LORD of hosts, everyone will invite his neighbor under his vine and under his fig tree.” Zechariah 3:10.

What a beautiful description of the coming Kingdom. Just as in Solomon’s day, where every tribe and family of Israel was given their own piece of property by the Lord, Zechariah assures us that the whole earth will be settled in peace and safety when the “greater than Solomon” rules with a “rod of iron” (Ps. 2:9, Isa. 11:4, Matt. 12:42, Rev. 19:15). There will be no need for locks on your doors or high fences to keep your neighbors honest.

Some might be thinking after these reflections on the Kingdom, can anything be greater? You had better be sitting down!

At the conclusion of the thousand year Kingdom on earth, God will create a new heaven and a new earth where all believers of all ages will live with Him forever.

At the conclusion of the thousand year Kingdom on earth, God will create a new heaven and a new earth where all believers of all ages will live with Him forever (Isa. 66:22, 2 Peter 3:13, Rev. 21-22:1-5). As wonderful as we have seen that this earthly Kingdom will be, the ETERNAL dwelling place with Christ will be exponentially better!

The Apostle Paul said, “I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows) such a one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows) how that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” 2 Corinthians 12:2-4.

Paul could only say that it would be a crime to try and describe with earthly language the beauty of God’s heaven. If you only had in your language the words, “wet”, “soaked”, “damp” and “moist” could you describe to someone the vast and glorious Pacific Ocean? What would you tell them? It’s really, really damp! It’s a large wet and moist place! To even attempt it would be a crime!

Is it any wonder that God let Satan give Paul a thorn in the flesh after he had been given an eye witness view of such heavenly things (2 Cor. 12:7)?

Let us therefore keep our eye’s fixed on our Savior, remembering the future He has planned for us, while we labor in the valley, introducing others to the Good Shepherd who longs to bring them to such heights as well.

For, “without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

The perfect Boss, the perfect job, perfect co-workers, in a perfect place, with perfect pay, and an endless day…what a Rewarder indeed!
