Overcoming Wolves and Locusts
Philippians 1:28 In no way be alarmed by your opponents–which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.
I write this as encouragement to myself and my fellow brothers and sisters that love God with their whole heart and who are seeking to obey Him. These are those chosen by God and who have acted upon the grace given to them by the LORD. Do not be discouraged by the doubters and religious attacks that will come against your walk, your testimony and the truth God has revealed to you. Beware of the wolves and locusts that are now out in full force. This wise religious crowd follow after the traditions of men and nullify the word of God. They are part of Babylon which has come to take you captive with a false gospel and another Jesus. Jesus warned us about this fallen system of religion.
Mark 7:6 – Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS,
BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’
“Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
These traditions are killing the people of God. They are teaching people trying to escape the corruption of this world that it is okay to practice sin. The traditions don’t say this openly, they say it implicitly by what they don’t say or what they don’t teach. The judgments of God and the call to a true repentance has been totally cut out of the gospel. God calls us to repent for sure, but we need to exercise faith and actually do it in surrender to God. Babylon tells people a walk of holiness is easy, just believe Jesus was the Son of God. That is not the true gospel.
These men that teach these traditions and the fallen spiritual church of Babylon are deceived. God has sent them strong delusion so they will love not the truth to be saved. They take pleasure in their sin and give hearty approval to those that practice likewise. We are to walk as Jesus walked and learn obedience by the things we suffer in the flesh. They tell us there is no need to suffer, Christ did it all, “it is finished”. Of course there is some truth in these words, but the context and conditions that go with that truth have been cut away.
These deceived Christians will even convince you that if you strive to walk the narrow path and obey the Lord that you are practicing a works salvation. Insidiously, they teach the true works salvation which is building your own way into heaven and not following the Spirit and commandments of God. They have been blinded from the true gospel, it is veiled before their face as they love their sin more than they love God. I do not know their jesus as that jesus does not exists and is a god of wood and straw. Their jesus is the image of Satan, a beautifully adorned god who only loves you. They have been deceived by the serpent’s cunning. Beware these deceivers that are being led by a different spirit than the Spirit of Truth. The road to Zion is by way of the Highway of Holiness spoken of in Isaiah 35. It is a very lonely road, as few there be shall find the way. Walking this road and telling others the truth with a GOD kind of love will not win you any popularity contests but that was our commission from our LORD.
I recently received a few rebukes and ”correction” from some very nice people. Their communication is usually compassionate and their intentions seems noble, yet the doctrine they espouse or the Scripture cited is misunderstood or is taken completely out of context. It reminds me of Jesus having the conversation with Satan in the wilderness. Remember when the devil quotes Scripture to Jesus (Luke 4) when tempting the Lord into sin? That is how some of my discussions have transpired in recent weeks. I realize I am talking to enemy spirits that work thru deceived Christians to bring about the flood of deception and test the hearts of all of us who choose to live a godly live in Christ Jesus. God will have to reveal the truth to them, no man can do it. The blindness was sent by God and only God can remove it. True godly repentance is the key to unlock the hidden mysteries of God and His promises of healing and spiritual vision. People are playing church in Babylon and God is not very pleased according to my Bible.
Fleshly compassion is not the God kind of love yet our carnal minds have been programmed to confuse the two. When the grace of God is perverted into an accommodation of sin, then the love of God is likewise perverted. I grow weary of this spiritual battle but know it was foretold to us by Jesus and we must lean on him for strength in these times of testing and stand on the truth, the real Jesus and the ROCK ETERNAL. We must persevere and endure to the end and not fall into the apostasy of Babylon. If we are in Babylon, we need to flee from its midst.
We must be very wise in these end times as the devil only has a short time and the locusts have already been released in full force in my spiritual understanding. This is the 5th Trumpet described in Revelation Chapter 8 — and while I don’t know if all these events happen in the order and sequence as portrayed in the Book of Revelation, I do know it is getting very late. The day of our salvation is near. We must be alert and watching every moment as Jesus comes quickly. The powers of darkness, the destroyers are coming in increasing strength to wreak havoc and bring about the shaking of everything that can be shaken. The vultures of mid-heaven are gathering where the dead corpses of fallen Christians are assembled. That is Babylon. Wake up.
Revelation 19:17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, “Come, assemble for the great supper of God
This is not the feast of the Lord you want to be at. You want to be at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. This feast is the righteous judgment of God against ALL the unbelieving and ALL who practiced sin and played the harlot; never having died to the lusts of their flesh.
If Jesus Christ is really your Lord, you will be obeying Him and when you stumble, you will get right back up and respond to His discipline. If you do not, your are not true sons but are illegitimate. All true Christians should take comfort in the promises of God which include a promise that we will be persecuted by fake Christians or the tares. Religious fakes have been around a long time, Jesus dealt with them, Moses as did all the Prophets. Your walk will be no different. Be alert and be sober and avoid the sweet wine served in Babylon that will make you drunk like them.
2 Timothy 3:12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
I echo the words of Paul the beloved Apostle and my fellow brother in Christ. I am against anybody and anything that exalts itself against the true word of God and that especially includes false religion. The biggest threat to God’s people is not unbelievers or atheists, it is the false gospel and image of the beast that has been established in Babylon the fallen church of the end times.
Galatians 1:9-10 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Please understand my emotion here, I am not against my brothers and sisters. I want everyone to come to knowledge of the true God. God wishes for nobody to perish. Our battle is against the enemy so we are never to make it personal; yet we need to be aware of the wiles of the devil and how they work thru people. Ignorance of the enemy and the fear of God is destroying the people of God.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
I once took such opposition very hard as it brought doubt to my carnal mind. That is exactly why these locust come to steal the truth out of your heart if you allow it. But praise be to God — every time I went searching for clarification, correction or confirmation, the LORD showed up and has provided it. Anyone of us that thinks we have it all figured out are fools. Paul told us to become a fool so we could then become wise. Jeremiah 10:14 and 51:17 tells us that ALL mankind is utterly stupid and devoid of knowledge. So I totally understand that I could be in error and that the people of God can and will be deceived. I am not quick to dismiss any message as it may well be from God. We are to test the spirits and search the Scriptures to see if the message is true. The Lord has shown me after consultation in His Word that these messengers are part of the army of locusts that have already been turned loose to devour spiritual trees (Christians), vegetation (the nourishing TRUTH) and bring on the promised end time spiritual famine of hearing God’s Word.
Amos 8:11 The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land–not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD
None of us should ever become so wise in our own eyes or become so proud that we think we know it all and that God can’t or won’t send a message or a messenger to us. But then again we need to stand firm on the truth God has shown us and not be swayed by persuasive arguments of men and shrink back from the truth.
Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
We must train ourselves to take these enemy darts captive and put up our shield of true faith. True faith means we do a lot of things. We do them thru the power of God working inside of us, but do them we must. It is the Holy Spirit working in us that guides us into all truth. These enemy darts come as lies spoken by religious people but the spirit behind them is not the Spirit of Truth. The message is adversarial to the true gospel and is brought by the spirits of antichrist (yes that means demons) that control and run the Babylon churches of today and work inside of these deceived Christians. God said He would fill Babylon with a population of locusts and He was not speaking about bugs.
Jeremiah 51:14 The LORD of hosts has sworn by Himself: ”Surely I will fill you with a population like locusts, and they will cry out with shouts of victory over you
Remove yourself from Babylon. If you do not, you will be overcome by these locusts or worse you may actually become an instrument of their indignation. The Apostle John saw the vision of the locusts in Babylon, the fallen church and Mother of Harlots.
Revelation 9:7 The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.
I encourage you to study how these locusts are described understanding all the descriptors are allegories to evil spirits working thru men that comes disguised as religion. Satan comes as an angel of light but the enemy’s motive is to steal the truth from our hearts. Our jealous God sends His wrath and anger to extract vengeance for His temple. It is God’s righteous judgment for sin. We avoid this wrath or said another way are saved from it, when we keep covenant with the Lord. Speaking about the judgment that comes upon Babylon, the LORD said:
Jeremiah 51:27 Lift up a signal in the land, Blow a trumpet among the nations!
Consecrate the nations against her, summon against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz; appoint a marshal against her, bring up the horses like bristly locusts.
The locusts bring the GOD SENT DELUSION to Christians who do not love the Lord with their whole heart. Deceived and fallen Christians keep hold of sin and listen to deceiving spirits and are unknowingly put on the broad road to destruction. This is why you must flee from Babylon and get away from these lying spirits that come in the name of Jesus but bring the false gospel and deceive the world into worshipping the image of Satan.
The Enemy Raises Up Many False Teachers
Just because someone puts on a religious facade, speaks Scripture and carries a Bible does not mean anything. We need to be aware of the schemes of the devil. Wolves come in sheep’s clothing. Their cup is clean on the outside by yet inside is where the ravenous wolves lurk. These are the evil spirits that are leading these men into false religion and vain worship.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
The enemy has taken the most elementary things of God and brought error in at the most basic level of faith. Did God really say these wolves implicitly speak when they pick and chooses thru the word of God. A little leaven here and a little poison there is all it takes to turn God’s truth about sin into a big fat demonic lie. I quote from John’s Epistle.
Do not be deceived little children, the one who practices righteousness (not talks about it) is righteous, just as our LORD is righteous.
These demon spirits working thru deceived Christians are doing violence to the truth and are shedding the blood of many with their ear tickling gospel. They accommodate sin, they twist the word of God and turn the grace of God into something it was never intended to be, a license to sin without consequence. The condemnation of those that hurt the children of God with this false gospel does not sleep. These wicked deceived people that promote harlotry and walking double minded, will wish they had a millstone tied around their neck and were thrown into the sea versus the judgment and wrath they will face on the Day of the Lord. I pray some of them wakeup and get free from their bondage and repent from their greedy exploitation of men they have pursued in the name of the Lord. These false teachers define Babylon and the works of the flesh. Woe unto them and their greed and arrogance.
2 Peter 2 :2 They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping
When God shows you the abomination that causes desolation, you had best get out of Babylon. Babylon is a dwelling place of demons, you see that in Revelation but also in Jeremiah 50-51, Isaiah 29, 46, 47 and in Zephaniah 2. To stay and drink continually out of the Harlot Church’s cup of abominations, disguised as the gospel, drinks judgment upon oneself. Jesus Christ does not want your worship with your lips — He wants your whole heart. He wants your obedience to His commands as that is the will of the Father.
Luke 6:46 Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
You who teach obedience is a work of the flesh. WOE UNTO YOU. Jesus Christ is not your Lord. The foundations of the false Jesus will not stand against the torrent of these deceptive floodwaters. Obedience is not works, obedience is being lead by the Holy Spirit and that defines who the children of God really are.
Romans 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God
The Spirit of Truth will guide us into all righteousness. That is how we practice righteousness.
All true Christians play a part in the body of Christ. I hate it when I see these religious know it all’s that draw people unto themselves with a bunch of religious dogma straight out of Satan’s playbook. Many of them sell books and aggressively seek donations to their ministries and typically refer to the writings of esteemed religious scholars to support their doctrine. The money part is a big flag to me. Freely you have received the truth and freely you shall give.
I want to see the body of Christ set free from the bondage and religious lies that have so ensnared them. That is my purpose and my call. It is not a calling I have sought, it was one God has given to me and I have been just like Jonah, running away from the call. But God has given me a second chance to invest His talents. So my small little part is to blow a trumpet and keep blowing it until God tells me to stop. This is not a popular ministry in cyberspace nor on the street corner. I am certainly not preaching a message of “peace and safety” because there is no resting on our laurels, we must all endure great trials and tribulations that have come and will increasingly be coming upon the earth. I like you must keep running our race until the very end. REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE!
Peace & Safety Is A Lie
The peace and safety message of the fallen church is beginning to show cracks as the pillars of religion fall and the spiritual earthquakes destroy many from the inside out. The true gospel is nary to be found and most pastors/shepherds are famished and their congregations are parched for thirst of the Holy Spirit. The Lord is near, at our very door yet many foolish virgins sleep and continue to drink the sweet wine served in Babylon.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
The true gospel will not be giving you a peace and safety message. The true gospel will have you working out your salvation with fear and trembling. There is no fear of god anymore in Babylon. This church is full of foolish virgins that are not ready, they have lamps but no oil. We only have a short time to wake them up so all who have warning trumpets must be blowing them now.
We are told to run away from this fallen religion or else we will be partakers in the plagues that are going to be poured out upon Mystery Babylon, the Mother (church) of Harlots.
Revelation 18:4-5 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; 5for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Unlike the doctrine espoused by a nice person to me in the past week, we are not righteous unless we practice righteousness. God has never changed, it is the traditions of men that have tried to change the truth about God’s Word. Do not be deceived, the Prophet Ezekiel made it very clear as well. If you keep on practicing sin once you come to the knowledge of God, your sins will be piling up to heaven and you will die. You will worship the LORD in vain if that is how you choose to live.
Ezekiel 18:24 But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die.
The people wanted to argue with God about this just like man’s religion does today. God said it not once, not twice but throughout His written Word. We need to quit being smart and decide to follow God. Let God be true and every man a liar. The ways of Babylon and man’s church is not right.
Ezekiel 18:25 Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right ‘ Hear now, O house of Israel! Is My way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right?
The Roots of Man’s False Religion
Deceived Christians think they are doing the will of God and bringing people to Christ, but they are actually building Satan’s church and promoting worship of the image of the beast. This is what Revelation 13 is all about. The true gospel does not please flesh. The true gospel has always been violently opposed by the religious wise of every era. When Paul wrote his often twisted words from Galatians, he gave us a litmus test to help us know the truth.
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.If any man comes to you and teaches a gospel other than the one entrusted to the Apostles let him be accursed!
The devil uses pride and selfish ambition to entice men to pour water on the truth and preach a message that is false. It attracts the world, makes them popular and esteemed and draws disciples unto themselves. Any true ministry for God will be unpopular with the masses. But do not be discouraged because God said that only the holy stump will be saved and even this stump will be subject to further burning. Only a very small remnant shall escape we are told. We cannot play God, water down the gospel and think God is going to cooperate with our religious works or ministries. Men need to quit trying to count people in their assemblies and trying to build something and make a name for themselves. The gate is very narrow and only a few will find it said Jesus. We need to let God worry about the counting, our role is to simply take the true gospel to the world teaching them to obey ALL that Jesus has commanded. Those that peddle this cotton candy gospel of Babylon are seeking to please men. Paul described these wolves and the Christian looking ministries of the deceivers. Their motives are not pure. Beware.
Galatians 4:17 They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.
Galatians 6:12-13 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.
The devil lies and tells us there is safety in numbers. If the demons can get a lot of people to walk as a harlot and not die to their flesh, then it must be all right with God their carnal minds are told. I fear for them as I clearly understand what Paul was telling the church.
Paul feared for many in the early church. He knew they were in a war and that all believers would have to actually put on God’s weapons and fight for the truth. Paul knew they were not once saved always saved and that only a remnant would escape the deception and wrath to come. Paul taught what true faith was all about and warned Christians that they could very well be deceived by the serpent’s cunning.
2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
The often overlooked Prophet Habakkuk wrote about the Day of the Lord. God has pronounced His judgments upon the self-exaltation of man’s religion and those who spread it and those who follow it.
Habakkuk 2:15 Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies. You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and be exposed ! The cup from the LORD’s right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
I questioned whether I really wanted to put this out on the blog. It brings sadness to my heart to see the deception and how deep the apostasy really is in the fallen church. I can’t show it to people who are blinded by God. God must show it to them. We can only speak the truth and leave the saving up to God. I blow a trumpet tonight. May God give ears to those that need to hear it. The blind are leading the blind right into the pit of hell with their religion.
Matthew 15:13 - He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
The people immersed in Babylon, have completely set aside the commandments of God. Light is called darkness, bitter is called sweet, the truth has been turned upside down and inside out. The law of the Lord has been lost. Beware of men that look like lambs yet speak like dragons.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
Finally a word of encouragement. God is faithful and He is gathering His True Israel from all the nations and we are now being assembled on Mt. Zion. That is where Jesus is returning and I see this as a spiritual reference which is at the end of the Highway to Holiness. Keep walking on this narrow and lonely road. If you are being persecuted for the cross of Christ and the speaking out about the true gospel of repentance and dying to self and overcoming sin — jump for joy and be exceedingly glad so saith the LORD.
Matthew 5:11-12 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Paul ,
That is a very kind offer, I may take you up on it in the future., thank you.
I have brothers and sisters in Christ that are likeminded, We have what we call an “open fellowship” in which much fruit is produced.
It is not like a “bible study group” that has one person leading, and “controling’ the group.
That format always seems to limit the Holy Spirit.
The Holy spirit is free to move in whatever direction he wants to lead., through whomever he wants, Gods watchman help keep us on the right path.
This form of fellowship deals with everyday problems in a believers life, It is the best form of ministering to each other that I know of.
Thats why I suggest bringing issues to a more personel level, instead of relating things in a impersonel way, it would benefit the brothers and sisters, and bring dark things into the light so they can be exposed and removed,.
But I am just the messenger, and the message was delivered.
I have never communicated , or fellowshiped in this maner before, I can say that my typing skills have improved considerably, and I have gleaned from the revelation of others.
God bless you , and the other brothers and sisters, Chuck
Dear Charles,
You may phone me anytime at 845-832-3223. or cell 203-858-8534. I like the personal touch. That is how I fellowship with people on a daily bases. The internet is ok for some things. I use Paltalk.com alot it is free and you can talk and type.
Jesus uses all kinds of communication media to get His point across. The Perfect Will of Jesus is to do what He says when He says to do it. Most people say things like” if it is the LORDS Will”. Jesus makes His Will known to His Friends.
Love and Faithfulness
Bill ,
Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.
To everyone who posts comments:
In regards to something I may say that does not line up with what God has shown you, please feel free ( if led ) to question or challenge me.
I want a balance of correction and affirmation , because to much of one of the other can stop spiritual progression in a brothers or sisters life.
Without challenges and corrections, we may not be turned away from a wrong path of travel.
A lady years ago told me about “her ” pastor , and how he was loosing his eyesight.
He went to the doctor to get “examined “, and was asked what he ate during the coarse of a week.
After he gave that information to the doctor ,he then said to the “pastor”, from what you have told me, you are eating what is equivelent to a 5 pound bag of ” sugar ” a week, and you are going ” blind”( this was also a spiritual condition of the heart)
What is on the inside will manefest itself on the outside, blindness in this situation..
Friends, by all means, don’t feed me a steady diet of “sugary words” because I am not going to feed it to you, because thats not what loving brothers and sisters do for one another, it may cause spiritual blindness, “babylon has sugar diabetes.”
Feed me a balanced diet of ” I am not seeing it that way , please explain , or affirm Gods truth when you see it and give him the praise and glory ,either way is O.K. with me, I will do the same for you. Because we are not men and women, who will settle for a lie.
Daniel could’nt eat the things from the king of babyons table, and neither can we, we must have a proper balanced table of foods, feeding each other, but always going to him “first “by faith , asking him to feed us and we most assurdly will get nourished..
Jesus said , I have food that ye do not know of, Psalm 23 says , I preparest a table before you in the presence of your enemies,he is doing this by our faith in him , it seems to me, at an accelerted pace in these last days,. Time is short
God through our open heart of faith in him will give us this food , and is giving us this food, by turning to him only.
God bless you in your search for his truths, Jer 33:3
“My time, and your time, has came and went for sitting in the halls of a physical babylon, but we know there was a reason for it.
Pray for this man, that his days mightl be short, if it is Gods will, if they are not, then those who are in spiritual babylon might see the true presence of Christ revealed in this man, I” know I see Christ in him.
God knows what each and everyone of us need in these last days , and he will make sure that it is availible to us.”
I agree Charles; we are all on different paths of a purification process, some see from one perspective, others from what the Lord has shown them in their walk. I by no means desire to imply that I would judge this man’s faith., From what you write I would say that Christ has shown this man many things, it is way bigger than coming out of the babylon system of organized religion. I know of a simialr likeness in a women who is now 84, but she has God’s spirit in her. The mystery of God and how He forms each individual lump of clay and reveals Himself in ways that we cannot always see, or understand is amazing. I always learn from reading your posts Charles. I believe you have presented a good message to take heed of and hear.
Praise the Lord, and be blessed
Bill
Just a few more considerations , so that Gods WORD of truth can go foward , and not our own syatems of beliefs.
People maybe getting tired of my Illustrations, but I am not tired of using them, let him direct.
I like scenery pictures.
I have a picture of a farm setting that shows an old farm house, a man plowing a field on a tractor , childern playing with a dog, a woman hanging out laundry to dry , a river and many more things that depict a happy family enjoying farm life.
But if someone had not seen this picture in its entirety , or fullness , and stood just 3 inches away from it, he might just see a childs arm, or a piece clothing, maybe a wheel , that, to him was all that was ‘visable”.
Not untill that person stands back and reviews the picture in its entirety or fullness can he see the complete picture.
But to the person who refuses to step back and look at the whole picture ,and consider it in its entirety, he will argue and say that there is only a childs arm , a piece of clothing , or a wheel, because he dosen’t know he is not in a position to see the whole picture.
Standing back and looking at the scriptures in its entirety , in its fullness, will help keep our individual belief system grounded in the truth , because it “all ” of it ,will then make sense.
I have had people come to me and tell me ” I read the whole book of John this morning “.
They can quote chapters and verses in John , where a certain rendering of the gospel is located, but that is not spiritual understanding , or seeing the intent of what has been written.
there viewing of scripture priority is based upon, memorization,volume, Quoting scripture, it is void of spiritual understanding and intent.
It is better to see the spiritual intent, which gives much understanding of Gods WORD in one verse, as opposed to impersonel memorizeing and quotations of
scriptures from Genesis to Revelation.
I consider it refreshing and one of the best ways to learn , is to read or listen tothose who haved shared their individual testimonies and struggles,like the Apostle Paul, Milton Green, Bill Johnson, Paul Borner, Charles Peyton
Friends , please refresh me, because I can read scripture for myself.
Don’t you feel on occasion that something is lacking in these posts,that it is to sterile and impersonel?
Not all of the posts are like that, but we need to make connection with each other on occasion, by bringing in the human element .
Tell me if I am wrong , maybe its me, but I get the most out of these postings when people speak from the heart, as brothers and sisters and their life expieriences..
Please open your personel book up, and edify the brethren , tell us of the struggles and failures and the overcoming moments that go on in your life
People are equating memorization and repeating what has been written or said, with, revelation or understanding , babylon does the same thing.
My daughter is a colledge Graduate, and she understands that all of her intellectual pursuits are about being able to memorize and repeat what has been repeated or said to her .
that is the worlds way of pursueing truths or what they think is a higher level of learning is, but, it is void of understanding.
I would not complete one semester, because this higher level of spiritual understanding that he has given, is not compairable to the understanding that faith in Gods WORD gives.It is also to sterile an impersonel , which limits edification.
We can use this tree of knowledge/intellect , or sense knowledge, to come to understandings of Gods WORD, as opposed to spiritual knowledge based upon faith in his WORD, but we will not come to the complete spiritual understanding that God would freely give.
This goes for are communication with each other, we must reveal the spiritual things revealed to the heart by God, Not the sense knowledge as the world understands it.
A question came up as to whether , did Jesus ever speak in tongues?
The answer , in what God revealed, was yes.
“Never a man spoke like this man before”, very true.
This was a new spiritual tongue that communicated the things of God that had never been heard before, we need to do the same .
God is raising up an end time people who are privledged with his truths, and we need to speak it. those who have the doctrines of demons, and who are expieriencing a famine of the truth may say of you”Never a man or woman spoke like this before ”
Just a few questions for you consideration: Did Jesus go to “church” or synagogue ?
Did the Father want him to go to the “churhes” of men?
Did God want , Chuck Peyton , Paul Borner, Pete Wilson to go to church?
I hope the answer for you is yes to all these questions, because, All things work for good for those who love God , for those called according to his purpose.
My time, and your time, has came and went for sitting in the halls of a physical babylon, but we know there was a reason for it.
Pray for this man, that his days mightl be short, if it is Gods will, if they are not, then those who are in spiritual babylon might see the true presence of Christ revealed in this man, I” know I see Christ in him.
God knows what each and everyone of us need in these last days , and he will make sure that it is availible to us.
We Thank you Lord, for being a good Father, Jer 33:3
During the time of Christ, and during the history period of the book of Acts a great diversity was found among the Jewish faith, practise and beliefs.–Something to think about; There were no man made Christian churches in the book of Acts during the 35 years of the apostles. The church at Jerusalem, (or gathering of believers in Jerusalem) were zealous of the law and many of them were only partially converted, and did not worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. It was starting to turn into a man made church and no more miracles came out of that church at Jerusalem after Acts ch.15. I don’t think the real true believers in Christ after the time of pentecost were found residing in any of the man made religious establishments such as the Church of Pharisees, The Church of the Sadducee’s, The Church of the Zealots, Church of the Essenes, Church of the Jewish Hellenistic Septuagint, Church of the Nazarenes, Church of the Samaritans Mount Gerizim.

Dear Friends of Jesus,
Jesus has only 1 Church. He alone is the head of His Church. Jesus does not want anyone to “go to church” or be part of any kind of church with a name on it made by man. The name of the True Church is Jesus.
Babylon is evil.
[NAS] [Revelation 16:19] The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before Jesus, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.
Babylon is not a Good place to be.
Love and Understanding
brother Charles, yes indeed, ‘physical presence is not spiritual presence.’ ‘For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.’ Matt 6:21 We are in the world (babylon) but not of the world, ‘He hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus’ Eph 2:6 The redeemed of the earth stand on Mt Zion with The Lamb in Rev 14. This is spiritual standing and concords with Eph 2:6.
32And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. Daniel 11
I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. Rev 2:13
He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of The Almighty.
John 5-26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 5-29 is seen in 7 verses below in Matthew, the number of His sabbath rest and His people made holy in Matthew 25:34-40.
Matthew 25-34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Praise God,
I just came from talking to a brother in Christ , and I thought I would share what this person is doing, and what the Holy Ghost revealed.
God has connected me with a man , who is a most giving person.
God has poured compassion in his heart, He receives donations of different Items to benefit the poor and homeless, sweating in an unairconditioned building.
He labors hard ( roofing, washing dishes, painting) to support himself and his wife, and uses his monies to help the poor and needy of the world.
He gives from his poverty , like the widow who placed a mite in the synagoue usury.
I call him ” Zachchaus ” because of his short stature , and his giving heart.
He rents out space in a building for the items ,with the small amount of monies that he has , but, he never asks me or others for for help, you have to ask him what he needs.
His sins were many early on in his life,so much has been forgiven him, and who much is forgiven , that one has much love.
My friends , this man has died to self , and entered into covenant with our Lord and saviour, there is simply no doubt, but, he sits physicaly with his wife in the harlot church on sundays , thinking that he is in service to God.
One of the reasons God has brought me into his life, Is to show him that there is something outside of this harlot system of man , a better way, he is hungry to receive Gods truth.
I always tell him when I finish speaking to him, that God is to be believed , please ask him for the confirmation of his truths, and not me, he does.
I have no doubt, that his physical presence in babylon is numbered, God be praised.
God spoke to my heart , and asked me a question concerning this man after I spoke with him today , can he sit in the harlots pews on sunday and still be my child?
The Holy Ghost answered, yes, of coarse , he is my child!
Physical presence in babylon is not spiritual presence .
Remember what Christ said to the pharisees regarding sin?
He told them, and I will paraphrase: you say that if you commit adultry, you are an adulterer, you say if you commit murder you are a murderer, but I say that if you do these things in your heart, you just as well have done them.
If there is a question about how we sin in our heart, please ask God first, an answer will be forthcoming.
The spirit also revealed , that there are those who do not sit in the halls of babylon, and are simply hearers of the WORD, and not doers.
They have the knowledge of this babylonian harlot, but knowledge is not covenant ( dying to self ) with our Lord.
Babylon is not a physical place, it is a spirtual self made approach to God, that is not limited to buildings, the masses, catholic or denomenational “churches”.
The babylonian buildings, different doctrinal beliefs, statues, etc. , are simply the results of a self made approach to God, it is from man and not God.
It is a spiritual condition of the heart of ” lean upon your own understanding” and trust thy self, a proud , self righteous heart, that guides ,directs and can justifiy many things.
Knowledge of what we think babylon is , is simply knowledge , it is not covenant.
I hope this helps in some way, God bless Jer33:3
Thank you for all of your articles, each one I have read puts me back in the spirit, and seems to enhance my spiritual eyes (I know it is GOD who does this, not the words on the computer screen).
I only have access to the internest at work, and in this environment I am seeing more of the satanic work through people by way of complaining, paranoia, evil talking about others motives. I used to be a big player in these schemes as well…thank you LORD that you have opened my eyes.
I want to ask about how to go about preaching the TRUE gosepl to a fallen and blinded world? I have much reading to do in the bible yet, but am not sure how to do this right now. I have no church family or christian friends. Any advice would be appreciated!
we must obey the law of GOD IN OUR HEARTS AND TEACH TRUE GOSPEL
Thank you for that meassage
There are some true assemblies or churches out there. I have to believe there are some in the UK. But fellowshipping is what we are doing right here. We were encouraged to fellowship, we are commanded to come out and be separate and touch not the unclean. I am sure you can find some prayer partners or a few folks to discuss matters of faith without playing the game of flesh religion and showing partiality. But don’t try to change a church that is fallen away. You can’t do it. Only God can remove the blinders. I do understand the children issue with church.
These words from Paul have given me some comfort that so long as Christ is preached it is better than nothing. People still need to respond to the grace of God and repent but God is not stopped by a fallen church.
Phil 1:17-18 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
We just need to make sure the Christ being preached is not the image of Satan. If that is the case, then I would yell at you to FLEE.
Thanks for writing this. I feel like I am being squeezed from all sides. I hate OSAS. Now I have gone and as we say in the UK ‘landed myself in it’ by attending this church. AAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrGh
