* WATCHMAN WARNING: WATCH!

 

Watch out that you are not deceived. – Luke 21:8

 

…many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. – Matthew 24:11

 

 

 

These warnings above are words spoken by Jesus Christ!  Words of warning to you and to me, for right now, the time we are living in, the last days before the return of Jesus Christ.  We are living in a time of deception and false prophets. 

 

Again, like a repeat of a bad television program, we are seeing more frightening and controlling behavior from the increasingly autocratic group that now runs this country and society.  As I write this the CDC and various other branches of government are moving forward with recommending and imposing mask mandates, even though a large portion of society now has the vaccines, even though the death rate from covid is still now a small fraction of what it was a few months ago and is many times less than major diseases like heart disease and cancer. 

 

These people who have taken over the national government and many of the so-called progressive states and cities, are moving once again to apparently further subjugate the American people.  You should have noticed in the news the last few days this growing pressure to put into place again a mask mandate on the people, including those who are vaccinated.  Some places have already done that.

 

Why?

 

The stated reason has to do with the Delta variant and that people unvaccinated are at real risk.  But as I just noted the level of impact of covid in the USA now is really low, even including this variant.  And indeed all the people who have been vaccinated now are highly protected against this disease.  Even if they were to catch it – and there is a low chance – they would in all probability just have a mild case. 

 

This current sudden increase in covid cases is evidently due to the more contagious delta variant being caught by those unvaccinated, primarily in five states where the vaccination rate is low indeed.  The overwhelming number of persons in hospitals or dying from covid these days are unvaccinated people.

 

Covid is a serious deadly disease but it is just not a great risk in America any longer.  Yes, it is still true, people with preexisting conditions, older senior citizens, seriously overweight persons, all these especially if they don’t have the vaccination are at risk of problems if they catch the disease.  But not the bulk of the population.  Covid has almost become just another risk of life today, like heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, car accidents, and violent assault and other crime.

 

Regardless of what you think of the vaccination, and there are many opinions on this, it is clear that it has had a dramatic impact in stopping and slowing down the disease. 

 

There is no obvious reason for vaccinated people to suddenly have to wear masks, other than that the current autocratic leaders are getting concerned the people are speaking up more and more objecting to their policies – objecting very visibly and vocally to things like critical race theory being taught in the schools and in the military, the extraordinary rise in crime, and inane requirements that children wear masks in school. 

 

So one way to slow down this growing opposition to the far-out policies of the progressive/woke/cancel culture gang is for them to impose mask restrictions.  Certainly we all just lived through a period where it was obvious that wearing masks, not seeing each other’s faces or frowns or smiles, along with the social distancing and other measures led to really muting society, diminishing open expression, reducing the joy of life for so many.  

 

We are having in America a real growth of dictatorial types who want to tell people how to live and how to run the country.  They are far afield from those who struggled to bring about the greatest free country on earth.  They have no understanding that there is no way ever to legislate true equality of status, income, jobs, talent, abilities, etc.  But we can provide equality of opportunities, and America has done that better than any society in the history of the world for many years.

 

These people who consistently want to tell all of us how to live according to their human rules are quite apparently just not godly people.  That is obvious from their views, from their vocabularies, from their actions.  Sadly, today America is a land with many ungodly people in the top positions of government and business and media and entertainment.  And sadly, many who should be boldly standing up for the Lord, for the gospel, for God in our world are meek and mum and staying away from the fight.  Many church pastors do not teach we are near the end of the age and near the Lord’s return nor do they teach the full gospel.

 

The country and world are full of people living and acting like sheep, obeying whatever the increasingly autocratic rulers dictate.  But there is one group of sheep that has the Lord as their leader.  They hear his voice.  It is time for this group - the Lord’s sheep - to behave like the Lord’s followers, like they have faith.  They must stand up for him in every situation in which they find themselves and as guided by the Holy Spirit.  That is tough to be sure but it is their role. 

 

The only reason the Lord has not come yet to collect his sheep must be that a few of his elect – those God chose to be in him before the creation of the world - have not yet heard clearly of the gospel and the Lord.  Hard to believe I know.  Likely just a few.  But if all had heard, I expect Jesus would already have been here. 

 

So we keep telling others and sharing as we can and as there are opportunities.  And we await the Lord’s imminent return alert, eyes wide open, ready, never misled by the deceived and lost souls running the country and many other governments and entities.

 

Read the scriptures at the top again! And Watch!

* WATCHMAN WARNING: THESE ARE THE DAYS

When I sit down to write I always want to write on Jesus and the fullness of who he is and who we are in him.  But then I look around at the world and all that is happening and how close we are to the Lord’s return, and I get concerned so many can’t discern what is happening and don’t know these are the last of the last days.  So I am left again with writing to alert all to this dramatic point.

 

There are two ways of looking at our times and lives today – the spiritual way and the secular way. 

 

Spiritually, we are in the very last days before the Lord’s return.  No one knows the precise moment, but we do know the season of that return as the Lord said we could.  And that season is now.  All those many prophecies of things to happen before his return that lay dormant for hundreds of years were suddenly fulfilled in recent decades.  Great prophecies, like the return of the nation of Israel, the takeover of Jerusalem by the Jews, the return of the Jews to Israel, and so many more.  Jesus could come at any moment to collect his CHURCH, that group of people who truly believe in him.  It could be moments or months or a few years.  But not many years.  No, the prophecies and the Lord’s words are all true, and have been proved true.  So he is coming very very soon.

 

Secularly, we are witnessing a real terrifying travesty of events throughout the world.  In the USA, the great world leader whose founding began a move throughout the world to democracy and freedom for individuals in many other nations, events are shocking.  And sadly, so many Americans either do not see or cannot discern the events and seem ok with just going forward.

 

But there is not going to be a going forward as usual.  Events are well underway to take away basic individual freedoms.  The Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence are being trampled.  Amazingly, at the top levels of government we have people now in place who are truly moving the nation to a more autocratic rule, toward a form of American Marxism or communism, toward a true socialist state.  There are leaders in many fields in the US who suddenly no longer care about the founding fathers and the foundations of the country.  And if you are a believer, you can readily discern that the leaders of this terrible movement are not Christians; they are not believers in Jesus Christ. 

 

Right now people in Cuba boldly are risking their lives to demonstrate against the terrible and pathetically bad Communist government there.  The economy in Cuba is terrible, the government controls it and the lives of the people.  Yet the American government does not back the people in their brave effort, with many officials backing the communist government originally started by Fidel Castro.  At the same time the American government openly allows in all sorts of unchecked people at the southern border, most of whom are just searching for a better economic life, not fleeing communist dictatorship.

 

All sorts of false issues are being put up by various far left groups in America in the intent to tear down and destroy, to divide the people.  Racism is being thrown out hourly in response to any issue.  They know it is a word guaranteed to excite and disrupt.  Violent groups seem to think any sort of violence is acceptable as we have seen, and in many “far left” led cities there is no serious effort to stop the violence.  Police forces have been cut greatly even though the great majority of Americans in all races want police protection.  One of these militant groups is led by formally trained Marxists.  In one of their early Internet posts of their positions, they made the point they do not think the nuclear family – mom, dad, children – is the way to raise children.

 

The LGBTQ group is increasingly more violent and threatening.  Let’s be honest – these people are ever pressing for more acceptance by all people.  They want all people to say their lifestyle is all right.  But of course it is not.  It is not acceptable at all to God.  And if you ever look up the statistics such as life expectancy, suicide, and more, you will see it is not working well here in the secular world either.

 

That group increasingly is militant.  Recently the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus put out a video that sings about “coming for your children.”  And the whole area of pedophilia is moving to ever more acceptance publicly and nationally.

 

I just read a document by a fellow writer on these times where he talks about hearing the screams and calls of some of the violent demonstrators in this progressive movement as they attacked persons who had views they would not listen to.  He remarked more than once that the screams and calls were like the sounds of wild animals.  Well, they were.  And these people behaving thusly are.  They are under the control of demons, of evil spirits.  This is the devil in action, and he was hearing the wild calls of demons.

 

All the while most Americans, perhaps even those who recognize all this, sit at home and do nothing.

 

What does it take for evil to succeed?  For good people to do nothing.

 

Now, since we know Jesus is coming soon, maybe some of us think why try to counter the horror of all these lost violent and vicious groups.  But shouldn’t we be doing Jesus’ work when he returns to collect his believers?  Remember his question about will he find faith on earth?  Shouldn’t we be ever working to help in God the Father’s leading of people to Jesus?

 

If you are a true believer, you can discern what is happening.  You do not need to spend time pondering why others around you do not see this, for those who are not believers and who do not have the great guidance of the Holy Spirit just cannot discern.  Some may be upset by the violence or by some bizarre behavior of leaders, but they just can’t grasp all that is happening.  Only those who are born again, born of water and the Spirit, and who are filled with and baptized with the Spirit have the gifts of the Spirit.  And one of those gifts is discernment, the ability to look at a situation and discern the truth.  That is invaluable in these times.  And as Jesus said, the Holy Spirit guides us in all truth and shows us things to come. 

 

These are the last days.  We are living in days that Jesus compared to the days of Noah and Lot.  The people in those days continued with their daily lives, oblivious to what was happening soon about them.  And suddenly disaster hit them – a flood in Noah’s case and total destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Lot’s case.  The terrible behavior we read of people around Lot at the time is certainly in line with the terrible behavior we read of many in our time today.  Jesus warned us point blank of this.    Ideally believers today are ready to go with the Lord while at the same time, hopefully, using all the protections and spiritual tools God has given us to survive in this time and representing the Lord daily in all situations as the Holy Spirit guides.

 

May God bless each and every one of you and give you peace.  This is not a peaceful or enjoyable time on earth.  It is not a good time.  Only true believers know joy even in the midst of this dangerous mess.

 

Go forward as you are led and do the work of the Lord.

* WATCHMAN WARNING! - COME TO JESUS TIME!

It’s come to Jesus time!  That’s a popular expression, more often heard as a come to Jesus moment.  What it means is that time when a person realizes he has no help in a current situation other than Jesus, that time when a person is totally honest with the Lord about himself and his situation, that time when a person has totally repented of any sins he has committed.

 

A come to Jesus moment is the time when there is no dependence on self and total dependence on the Lord.

 

And that is where we are today, where we must be.

 

For some months I have stayed a bit away from all the shocking things happening about us and have focused on all the spiritual help the Lord has given us, such as all the protection tools, the authority to cast out demons, divine healing, other tools in fighting evil, who we are in Jesus, and the authority we have that Jesus has given us.

 

Well, it’s come to Jesus message time now.  This is a come to Jesus message. 

 

Surely you must realize where we are in God’s time.  Surely you must see all the evil going on around us in the various levels of government, media, business, education, and more.  Surely you must recognize all those people calling evil good and good evil.  Many of the big popular issues being put forward by the government and popular media and entertainers are nothing short of absolute insanity.  They make no sense.  (Yesterday I saw an advertisement for a movement to do away with all prisons and all police in the country.).

 

Jesus warned us about this time.  When the disciples asked him about the time we are living in, his first warning in three different gospels was to watch that we are not deceived.  Deception.  It is out there in a big way.  Now I don’t want you to be confused.  Yes, of course, it is true that many of these persons putting forward bizarre actions and propositions hope to deceive us.  But this deception goes deeper than that.  Many of those putting forward these views are deceived themselves.  They can’t see the truth.  That is why as so many have discovered that it is impossible to hold rational discussions on the popular subjects of the day.  People who might be described as woke persons, cancel culture persons, progressives, cannot discern the truth and cannot enter into rational discussions.

 

I hope you must realize by now that these troubling persons and their irrational agendas and actions and behaviors cannot be from God.  They cannot know God.  Of course not.  That is why they have been so deceived by the evil one, the devil.  They do not have the ability to discern truth.  America is a nation with a great number of godless people in key leadership positions.  A rabbi in Israel just said America is “tiny people with lots of money and power but no wisdom.”  Well, that’s one way of putting it.  My way:  America is led by godless people, in government, in media, in business, in entertainment and sports, in education.  Now we clearly see the results of having godless people in charge. 

 

Sadly, the people on earth who truly have that discerning ability are small in number indeed.  These are the born again, Spirit-filled and baptized persons who have the gifts of the Spirit and operate in those, such as the gift of discernment.  They immediately discern the complete falsehood of so many of those in leadership in the country today; and sadly, even though they may understand what I just wrote, they still marvel at how so many can believe so many lies. 

 

Yesterday I spoke with a believer who kept expressing frustration at persons she would speak to about God’s truths and yet they had no comprehension of what she was saying.  I pointed out that she knew why these people couldn’t comprehend.  She said yes she knew, but it was just so frustrating!  And I would add frightening!

 

While we believers know Jesus is coming soon and we have the great joy of knowing him now and having the Kingdom of God in us even now, we still have the physical reality on earth of seeing this country move steadily to being a totalitarian, socialist, authoritarian government where those wonderful individual freedoms we once cherished vanish one by one.  Godless people have the government as their god, and so they make that government all powerful.

 

Someone asked me yesterday why are Christians being attacked so much here and around the world, while other religious places such as mosques don’t seem to be so attacked?  Why are preachers under such threat for what they say in Canada, for example, while imams in mosques seem to be free of threat?  Well, the truth is obvious.  Jesus is the only way to God, the only hope for people.  These other religions have no meaning and no hope for their followers.  The devil is only threatened by Christians.  They are the only ones he really will attack and hopes to eliminate.  

 

The things happening now are terrible.  To use the term Paul used in communicating to Timothy about this age, they are perilous.  We believers do have the protections God has for us and we cannot afford to be idle and not use those protections.  And we must represent Jesus is all situations.  Remember again his statement that whoever disowns him before others, he will disown before his Father in heaven.

 

The only thing holding back the immediate return of the Lord right now, this minute, has to be that there are still some of those chosen before the creation of the world to be in God’s elect who have not yet come to a saving knowledge of Jesus or perhaps because of their location have not truly heard the gospel message.  But there can’t be many of those left, can there?  No there can’t.  Time is short.  Relative to the world’s whole history, we only have hours.

 

Stop wasting time.  Do whatever you can as the Holy Spirit leads to get the truths of the gospel out to others.  But don’t be so overcome with dismay when even people close to you will not listen and do not appear to understand or want to understand at all.  Jesus wrote specifically about how he had come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and so on.  In other words, unbeliever against believer.  That is the way it is and will be.

 

Beware of deception.  And beware of those false prophets out there who will tell you things you might want to hear but are not Biblical and not true.  There are preachers who say all people go to Heaven, but you know that is not true.  Jesus was explicit about that in so many ways – such as his words that the gate is small and the road that leads to life narrow, and few are they that find it.  Or his words that not everyone who says to him “Lord Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven but only he who does the will of his Father who is in heaven.  Jesus said he will say to some of these people “I never knew you.  Away from me, you evildoers.”  Obviously, Jesus must know us.  Which happens truly when we are born again and filled with and baptized with the Holy Spirit.

 

Jesus warned of false prophets, shortly after he warned of deception.  And as I gave an example above, there are such people today out there ministering, some very famous.  How about preachers who want to put Christianity together with Islam in the so called Chrislam, or the Pope who wants to get all the religions together.   Maybe you have noticed the recent conflict between the Pope and some American bishops who evidently think the current president should not be served communion because of his obvious evil actions (backing wholesale abortion, strong backing of the LGBTQ movement for example).  The Pope has warned the bishops about their not wanting to serve him communion, even though obviously those actions are not only counter to God and the Bible but also to the basic positions of the Catholic Church. 

 

You have to use the gift of discernment to recognize false prophets.

 

Let me give you one more false prophet possibility which some of you may consider a bit too wild.  Have you noticed all the publicity about UFO’s lately, and the fact the government is giving validity to all this with the release of UFO information soon?  If this continues to increase, don’t be surprised to see something really dramatic in the future such as a “spaceship” landing with someone pretending to be Jesus aboard, or some other similar stunt.  We are living in the age of lies and deception.

 

Put all your trust in God.  You have to take actions on earth of course, but you must do that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and in line with what you know God’s truths to be.

TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY - THE RAISING OF THE CROSS

 

This is one of the great paintings from the Reformation.  Notice Christ on the cross being lifted up and put in place.  Notice the man at the foot of the cross wearing the beret.  That is Rembrandt.  He is putting Christ up on the cross.  He is putting it in place.

What is Rembrandt saying in this painting?  What is his message?  He is saying I put Christ on that cross.  My sins put him up there.  Rembrandt has recognized and painted the essential truth.  It is and was our sins that put Christ on the cross.  He went there to die for us, for you and me, to cover our sins. 

Because he lives – because he died the way he did and then rose from the dead - Jesus has earned for each true believer in him eternal life with him and his father.  He has earned forgiveness for each of us.  He overcame the world, and in him we do too.  Jesus did so many things I have written about before, but this is the key one – he reconciled human beings to God.  He took our sins upon himself and removed that unsolvable burden.  He gave us our lives again.

WATCHMAN WARNING! - THE NIGHT IS NEARLY OVER - THE DAY IS ALMOST HERE

You know that what is being said and promoted in much of the mass media and the government and elsewhere today is just plain deception.  You know that.  Jesus’ first warning about our day was to watch that we are not deceived.  Well, I hope you are watching.

 

Add to all this deception dramatic natural physical events happening regularly and you know you are where you have thought you are.  Right at the end of the age.  Consider these examples:

 

• A private school, Grace Church School, in NY City is encouraging students to stop using the words mom, dad, and parents. Why? Because these words contain assumptions about what a typical family looks like.  Deception to the full.  Even more sad, this is a “church school.”

 

 

• There were more major earthquakes in the first sixty-five days of 2021 than in the same time period in all other years in recorded history.

 

 

• China has just now undergone a huge sand storm that has cut visibility dramatically, obscuring things like the high rises in Beijing.

 

 

• The new president has already given an executive order pushing transgender behavior that will likely lead to boys and men on women’s and girl’s teams, in girls locker rooms, etc. It is the eventual destruction of women’s athletics, unless some groups step in to fight in the courts.

 

 

• The new equality act being debated in congress would take LGBTQ rights further and spell the end of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Pastors would not be free to speak what they should, as now in Canada.  Churches and ministries would lose control of whom they can hire.

 

 

• The southern borders are now open to large numbers of illegal immigrants. All at the same time that the border with Canada is closed and strongly monitored and the USA supposedly is trying to conquer coronavirus.

 

 

• A huge $2 trillion bill just passed Congress under the guise of stimulus to help people and small businesses hurt in the pandemic, but less than ten per cent of the $2 trillion is for that!

 

 

• The rate of hospitalization and deaths and cases of coronavirus continues to drop rapidly, yet the federal government and some medical experts continue to frighten the public. Many from the liberal media and government are outraged that Florida has a basically open state, and that Texas is opening up too.  In fact now more than fifteen states have dropped the mask mandate.  All the while California continues with draconian rules of lockdown.  Florida’s schools have been open a long time, restaurants, etc., no mask mandate, while California has been just the reverse.  Yet the incidence of the virus has been roughly the same in both states.  So what did all the rules in California accomplish?

 

 

• Some citizens are gradually waking up to how they have been held hostage, how their rights have been and are being taken away, so there are efforts to recall the governor in California and soon probably something like that in New York for more than one reason.

 

 

• The National Guard remains around the capitol building in Washington, DC. The head of the Guard recommended the Guard be sent home but he was overruled by the Administration in the form of the new Secretary of Defense.  What are they afraid of?  Probably the half of the American population that still knows the outcome of the recent election was highly questionable.

Franklin Graham says madness is sweeping across our country, focusing specifically on the horrible cancel culture that seeks to suppress people who have views different from “what our godless society has deemed fitting and appropriate.”

 

Representative Jim Jordan says in a recent Tweet that “House Democrats gave felons $1,400 stimulus checks.  Today, they’re making it harder for law abiding citizens to buy a gun.  And at the same time, they’re trying to defund the police!”

 

You and I know all that is going on is confused, massive deception….we are living in the time of calling evil good and good evil.  We really are living in a godless system restrained by the prayers and efforts of the serious believers still on earth and the actions of the Holy Spirit and God’s angels that are here.

 

All I have to add is the title of this piece:

 

The night is nearly over

 

The day is almost here

 

Yes it is.  Put another way, those words from Romans 13:12 mean this evil age is almost over and the time of Christ’s return is at hand.  Evil is darkness.  Christ is light. 

 

So do not be dismayed.  I know that is easier to say than to carry out.  It is an awfully unpleasant and evil world.  Believers who view this world through the Holy Spirit gift of discernment see that.  Other people, including those not having the Holy Spirit gifts, including even many who attend church regularly, probably not. 

 

Do whatever you can to assist in God’s drawing people to Jesus.  Ask the Holy Spirit for divine encounters.  Seek his guidance always.  He will guide you in all truth.  He will show you things yet to come.  He will remind you of things Jesus has said.  He will tell you things he has heard.  He is God, you know, a member of the Trinity.

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                             MARCH 2021

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: HATRED

Terrible subject.  I don’t like writing about it.  But I tell you this article is worth your reading and rereading and sharing as you can.  Please read it to the end. 

Surely you have noticed the intense, even frightening hatred many leaders in various fields have for the past president and for those who voted for him.

 

We are going to look at this and where we are right now in spiritual timing.

 

Step back a moment.  Remember over your lives, how in past elections for president or governor or other positions, year after year, one person wins and another loses.  And in all that, some are happy and others are disappointed.  Yet in all that virtually all people realized what was a general truth – that while the approach and some details of the opposing candidates might be different, the fundamentals of support for traditional American truths were followed by most.  In general, everyone stood behind the president even if they had not voted for him and even did not like him.

 

That all changed in 2016.  The winner of that presidential election was a multi-billionaire businessman, not a politician.  There was no reason for him to run for president from a personal standpoint.  He could have lived out his life as a multi-billionaire, a pretty nice life indeed in physical terms.  But no, he actually decided to throw himself and his family into the cauldron of American politics and run for office?  Why?  We have to assume he thought he had something to offer the country, to help the country.  That was the general thrust of his campaign.

 

But remember now that from his surprising victory there was instant hatred from many politicians and office holders, a large majority of the media, many entertainers and others.  Real hatred.  They said things that we all knew were not true.  And they refused to believe he was the president.  This went on for four years.  Absolute vitriol.  Stay focused now.  We are looking at this hatred.  That’s the subject. 

 

Remember all the efforts to discredit him.  Remember the obviously made up scandals, the attempt to impeach, on and on.

 

Now we have just passed another presidential election and inauguration.  And the hatred continues.  The former president is out of office.  His staff are out of office.

 

But this incredible hatred goes on.

 

It is not enough for his opponents that he has lost reelection.  No.  Now they apparently want to destroy him forever and thus they went forward with another now failed impeachment effort.  They want to crush the previous president, make it impossible for him to do anything meaningful in the future. 

 

Think for a moment.  From the news reports and actions of leaders you would think only a small number voted for the past president.  But the fact is almost half of those who voted in the 2020 presidential election voted for him, yet those supporting the victor want those people crushed.  You see almost daily some popular entertainer or politician talking about “retraining” them, “reeducating them.”  I saw one entertainer saying their children should be taken away and reeducated. 

 

Hatred.  This is hatred.

 

So what do you think?  Is any of this of God?

 

Hardly.  Here is a scripture that really fits the situation:

 

But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.– 1 John 2:11 NIV

 

Note the second sentence in this verse: They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.  

 

Right.  That is what is happening.  And I want you to realize that.  I have written often about deception and delusion in these times, and they are very real.  And surely you see these hating people, I should say blind hating people, are just this.  They can’t see the truth.  They don’t know the truth.  They hate.  They really can’t see the truth.

 

I am reminded of a word God said to me many years ago about such people:  They don’t know because they really don’t know.

 

Or said another way, they don’t know they are deceived because they are deceived.

 

Yes, they hate.  And they are dangerous.

 

They are not of God.  Surely you can see that.

 

We have not seen such absolute raging hatred on such a large scale in America in a long time.  Actually, I would say never in our lifetimes.

 

I remain hopeful they do not represent the majority of Americans.  I do know that true born again, Spirit-filled believers in Jesus can discern the truth so surely they see this hatred for what it is.  I hope that even basically decent people who are not yet believers can tell something is truly wrong here.

 

So there is one last major point I hope you can see: What is behind such blind hatred beyond the deception and delusion and the obvious influence of the evil one?  What is it? 

 

Remember the several presidents from both political parties before this past president? Remember how under their leadership the United States steadily was moving ever more to larger and larger government, more influence of government in individuals’ lives, ever more loss of personal freedoms, more and more movement to an end to borders and open international trade, more and more to that “one-world” future.  But suddenly in the 2016 election an outsider stepped into the presidency and all that stopped.  For four years an outsider kept the progress of the USA toward joining this future “one-world” government at bay.  He stopped the progress of the world to that last days world system that is run eventually by the antichrist.  Now the 2020 election and the new president have the USA back on track to joining this world system.  We are rushing to the time of the antichrist.  That’s the reason for the raging hatred of the past president – he interfered in the progress to the one world government!

 

So we are in the last of the last days.  I have written this so long.  And so much.  I am sure many of you really see and understand that.  I ask you to hold steadfast to your faith.  Keep your eyes on Jesus.  Do whatever you can to get that truth to others around you – by talking with them if possible, by sending material such as this writing, by giving material perhaps such as our WAKE UP AMERICA! book, certainly by praying for God the Father to lead them to a saving knowledge of Jesus.  No one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws that person to Jesus.  The Lord said that himself.

 

May you live in the blessings of God always.

* A WATCHMAN WARNING: HELP! CONFUSING TIMES! - WE NEED THE HELP GOD HAS FOR US

 

Things are quite confusing for many people today.  Even those who are serious Christians may find discerning the truth challenging.

 

Below I have a few points I hope will keep us all on an even keel and filled with peace despite all around us.

 

1. Foremost, if you do not know whether you have been born again and thus are saved, take care of that first. By yourself or with a serious believer, ask the Lord to be the Lord of your life.  Ask for forgiveness for your sins.  It’s really simple.  Paul himself said if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead, you have been saved.

 

 

2. USE THE HOLY SPIRIT’S GUIDANCE! - If you do not know if you have the Holy Spirit or have been baptized by the Spirit, follow this step. You need the tangible guidance of the Holy Spirit.  I hear people say they believe they got the Holy Spirit when they accepted Christ, but generally there is no obvious evidence of that.  This is the truth:  Anyone filled with and baptized with the Holy Spirit knows it.  The Spirit is a badge, a guarantee of your salvation.  And he comes with great gifts, such as discernment which helps you determine the truth in situations and speech by others.  Remember, the Holy Spirit leads you in all truth and shows you things to come.  That guidance is spiritual but it is also tangible. If you do not believe you have been filled with/baptized with the Holy Spirit, get some serious born again, Spirit-filled believer to pray with you for that.  Or you can pray yourself seriously for that.

 

 

3. USE THE BIBLE - Realize in your heart the Bible is true and live as if you believe it. Check any guidance or info you receive from others against the Bible.

 

 

4. USE THE WARNINGS OF JESUS - Jesus gave some very specific warnings to his disciples – and thus to us – about these days in which we live.

 

 

• • “Watch that you are not deceived” – Surely you see the massive deception all around, in some political leaders, television and other media people, entertainers, preachers, and others. . If you hear something from someone – a minister, someone telling you of things to come, whoever – always check what you hear against what the Bible says.  If it does not fit, then don’t accept it.  I don’t care if the person is famous or not.  Doesn’t matter.  Just because someone is famous does not automatically make what he says true.

 

 

• • “False prophets” – Jesus also warned about false prophets in these days. These would be people who say things about our time or the future that are just not true.  Certainly there are so many voices out there that people can easily be misled by all the confusion and statements and supposed prophecies.  You have to really think about what to believe and what to accept.  The Holy Spirit helps you with that.  The Bible helps you with that.  You can also discuss some concerns with friends who are serious believers, but remember – they can be confused or misled too.  Pick them carefully.  This is a difficult time we live in.

 

 

• • Jesus also warned there would be people claiming to be the Messiah. Thankfully we aren’t seeing those yet, at least on a major scale.  Just remember, Jesus is not going to be down here on earth walking around visibly and teaching and preaching.  His next big appearance will be coming in the sky to gather his believers.  Then he will be back at the end of the Tribulation to lead his forces in annihilating his enemies at Armageddon.

 

 

 

 

5. USE THE BRAIN, the mind that God has given you. You know there are physical laws on earth God set up long ago that remain in force – gravity for example.  You certainly would not step off a cliff expecting to be fine.  Well, you have the knowledge and intelligence to realize that truth.  So why would you put yourself in obviously dangerous positions?  For example, why go out and join an angry mob that is likely to riot.  People as we all know get hurt in mobs.  Or in this time of coronavirus, why go to a gathering of many people who will be close together?  Yes, God can protect you, but he already has given you a mind to make good decisions.  Remember, Jesus declared “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”

 

 

6. USE GOD’S PROTECTION – Use the tools God has given us and I have written about frequently. And remember all that he has given us regarding health and healing.  Remember further that you in Jesus’ name can cast out demons.  All good advice!!! 

 

 

7. USE GOD’S GUIDANCE - Plan ahead. Ask for guidance from the Lord, from the Father, from the Holy Spirit.  Seek to plan in case things get worse where you live.  Maybe store up some food and water as people did on the coast when we lived there and they were ready for hurricanes.  Maybe think about a place to go if your area suddenly gets really unpleasant.  These are not happy thoughts, but then this is wisdom.

 

 

8. USE THE BIBLE’S WORDS ABOUT JESUS’ RETURN – The Bible is full of information and prophecy about the time of the return of Jesus. Go to the Return of Jesus Resources page on our website to get information on all this.  Read the Bible chapters such as Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, Zechariah 14, Luke 17:20-37, and more.

 

 

I expect the Lord to come really soon based on all that has been fulfilled and on all he has told me over the years.  But I know that does not necessarily mean in the next few days.  It can be a few years too.  And we really don’t know how difficult it can get before he comes.  Indications from his words and those of Paul and others are that it could get pretty difficult.

 

Remember, James said we can ask God for wisdom and if we do not doubt he will give it to us.  Ask him for the wisdom you need to deal with all that is happening and will happen.  Remember too God said to call out to him and he will show us great and hidden things we do not know.

 

May God bless you in all things.
