From The Pastor’s Desk

Can you see the snare?!!! Jesus said in Luke 21:34-36 “And take heed unto yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day (speaking of the rapture) come upon you unawares. (unexpectedly) For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of man. Any true Bible student who has made Jesus the delight and treasure of your life, being led by the Holy Ghost who has come to lead and guide us into all truth, can see that God’s week of time six days or 6000 years allotted to man is almost up. Sadly the world and most of the Church can’t see the snare (trap) Satan is now setting. News headlines “LA. Mayor threatens to shut off Electricity and water to churches that meet.”

Wow…notice they did not say the abortion clinic or the liquor store, and we could go on and on, but the church. No wonder Jesus said when he returned would he find faith on the earth. A faith that says, Acts 4:19 “…Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.” (Rather ye be the judge) It’s true there is a virus, but that’s not new, they’ve been around every since Adam and Eve sinned. But the good news Jesus came and took the curse Gal.3:13, and now by faith we can not only be kept from it, but healed, in the powerful name of the Lord Jesus. So we have a choice to fall in the trap, and do nothing and let our freedoms be eroded, or we can stand up in the power and authority of our Lord. We have a choice, to cry out to God for revival, and go out and compel them to come in, or we can give into fear and become a socialist, then a Communist country. We can close our eyes, and doing nothing, or we can rise up like all those heroes of the faith, and see that the same God as then, will fight our battle. Brace yourself, the snare is being set. Don’t fall in it. Maranatha!!!!!

Pray, Pray, Pray!!! If we have ever prayed for our nation, and President, this is the time. For all those who think this will end at the election, I believe you are sadly being optimistic. Right now while the news wants us to be focused on Covid-19 and how bad it is, which is 15th on the list of pandemics, several major cities are becoming war zones. The enemies of this nation are now emboldened where the Democrats are in charge, and these spineless leaders are not only calling to defund the police, but abolish prisons in Seattle. Who would have ever thought that any sane person, would have made such a foolish statement? This is insanity. O but in the midst of all the insanity, of these blind leaders, who are Satan’s puppets, who will soon meet their waterloo (meaning they will be defeated by someone who is stronger or by a problem that is very difficult to surmount) unless their eyes are opened to the truth, we can take a stand, and pray.

Now is the time to pray, and go out and compel the lost, the lukewarm to come in. We must not wait until the door is shut to the church age. We must not cave into these godless leaders, to tell us, it’s essential for the ABC stores, and abortion clinics to stay open, but not the church. O beloved church of the Lord Jesus Christ, don’t let this little window of opportunity pass us by. We are being called, to “…a solemn assembly, Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, even those nursing infants, let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of the closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God.” Joel 2:15-17

On the Fringe of the Delusion. 2 Thess.2:10-12 “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (literally the lie of Antichrist) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

The latest news tells us this full delusion is coming. A few days ago the news said “Michael Jackson’s daughter to portray Jesus as a Lesbian woman in new controversial film.” This is truly a delusion, if there ever was one, which is a fixed belief maintained in spite of unquestionable evidence to the contrary. It’s sad that a large portion of the church, has given in to the thinking, we have got to be like the world in order to win them. So they stopped preaching offensive messages, to flee from the wrath to come. But instead, they say, don’t give them scriptures, because they won’t understand them. The problem is not that they won’t understand them, the Holy Ghost gives the understanding so they will cry out “what must we do to be saved.” The problem is these preachers have been deceived and accepted a watered down version of the Gospel, we must not offend anybody. Beloved the gospel brings an offense. That’s why people are dying lost.

We must tell people the truth in love, and pray that they heed the warning. Don’t be deceived by the cheap grace being preached, but instead believe all that God has said. Rev.21:8,27 “But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

(27) And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” This ain’t no time to be seeing how close you can live like this world, but make your calling and election sure. John 15:3, the word will clean you up. Psalm 119:9 Maranatha!!!!!

A word of thanks!!! Those of us who understand, that freedom doesn’t come without a price, I want to give thanks for all those who were willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice with their life, so those of us that are living can worship in freedom. Patrick Henry said “Give me freedom or give me death” exemplifies the kind of men and women, many of them were, who won the freedoms we have today. What so many don’t understand is these freedoms, they were willing to die for, were not won, for us to do as we please, but to do as we should.

For those who don’t know, let me tell you, we all have and enemy; Satan, who comes, but to steal, kill and destroy. Oh but the good news is Jesus has come that you might have life and have it more abundantly, John 10:10 For those who want to burn our flag, and are, yes “Hell bent” on destroying American history, who want to depict Christ in a bottle of urine, yes are able to do as they please now, because of those willing to die than to live in bondage. Thank God for Jesus’ willingness to lay his life down for mine, so that I could be free from sin and death to serve him in the beauty of Holiness. Now that’s reason enough to serve him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and to love my neighbor as myself. God bless all those who served. For your children’s sake, and soul’s sake, don’t take your freedoms for granted. Maranatha!!!!!
