DO WE REALLY NEED JESUS TO GO TO HEAVEN?

TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL?

I DREAMED ABOUT A SPECIFIC COUPLE I KNOW IN REAL LIFE... but is this also for you or someone you know?

I was in the back room of a house, felt the need to get out of there, so headed for the living room and front door. The couple I know in real life were seated on a wooden picnic bench in the living room and facing an interior wall.

Satanists and Luciferians were entering through the front door. Through the large living room window I saw more of such ilk arriving.

I paused and told the couple, "You need to get out of here. You have only so much time before this place is occupied solely by Satanists and Luciferians. The more of them that fill this space, the less presence of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit will remain. Soon, you might just as well say that all of the "oxygen" of God's Spirit will be removed from here. If you choose to stay, once the last of them enters and closes the door, you can never leave."

They looked at me as though I had on a tinfoil hat (you know what I mean).

Then they looked around--they hadn't been paying attention to who had been and was still arriving. Though not eager to believe me, they at least looked unsure.

They dawdled as they made up their minds, but my spirit prompted me to get out of there, so I exited the house.

Those entering had no problem, but for those wanting to get away, the yard had begun to turn to boggy mush so that people's feet would sink down several inches, making it difficult, though not impossible, for the person committed to getting away to do so, though it would only get deeper and more difficult to get away over time.

This was NOT about a physical space, but a mental one that connects to the spiritual.

Was it a warning solely for that couple?

It certainly fits for all who have not yet crossed God's deadline or borderline of impenitence. Some, including Christians, have no idea such a "red line" for God exists, despite it being in Scripture.

Nor do some know, as Paul E. Billheimer wrote, that "God never saves anyone against his [or her] will."

May God speak to the heart of every person who needs to read and meditate on this.

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

Right from the start, I want to stipulate that my mental vocal-tone is gentle and my purpose for commenting about that particular verse -- Love your neighbor as yourself -- is ... well, that comes toward the end...

A funny thing happens often these days if a Bible-believing person goes against the cultural norm of a person's I-did-it-my-way "Christianity" by bringing to their attention how "their way" may not be God's way, according to His Word: They often come back with, "You're not loving your neighbor as yourself, as you should, and that's also in the Bible."

True. Galatians 5:14, to be specific. 

But as so often happens, too many forget that no verse is a stand-alone; every verse fits into the larger context. For example, what comes before and after Galatians 5:14? Let me assist by sharing an easier version to read from the Complete Jewish Bible, translated by David H. Stern. I used this version because it's closer to the original meaning of the language and cultural idioms of the time in which it was written--which matters, and Stern is a renowned Hebrew scholar and translator.

Starting with Galatians 5:13, we read:

13 For, brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not let that freedom become an excuse for allowing your old nature to have its way. Instead, serve one another in love. 14 For the whole of the Torah is summed up in this one sentence: “Love your neighbor as yourself”;[a] 15 but if you go on snapping at each other and tearing each other to pieces, watch out, or you will be destroyed by each other!

16 What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit. Then you will not do what your old nature wants. 17 For the old nature wants what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is contrary to the old nature. These oppose each other, so that you find yourselves unable to carry out your good intentions. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, then you are not in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Torah into legalism.

19 And it is perfectly evident what the old nature does. It expresses itself in sexual immorality, impurity and indecency; 20 involvement with the occult and with drugs; in feuding, fighting, becoming jealous and getting angry; in selfish ambition, factionalism, intrigue 21 and envy; in drunkenness, orgies and things like these. I warn you now as I have warned you before: those who do such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God!

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 humility, self control. Nothing in the Torah stands against such things.

24 Moreover, those who belong to the Messiah Yeshua have put their old nature to death on the stake, along with its passions and desires. 25 Since it is through the Spirit that we have Life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day.

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

But don't stop there, continue with Galatians 6:1-10...

6 Brothers, suppose someone is caught doing something wrong. You who have the Spirit should set him right, but in a spirit of humility, keeping an eye on yourselves so that you won’t be tempted too. 2 Bear one another’s burdens — in this way you will be fulfilling the Torah’s true meaning, which the Messiah upholds. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is fooling himself. 4 So let each of you scrutinize his own actions. Then if you do find something to boast about, at least the boasting will be based on what you have actually done and not merely on a judgment that you are better than someone else; 5 for each person will carry his own load. 6 But whoever is being instructed in the Word should share all the good things he has with his instructor. 7 Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows. 8 Those who keep sowing in the field of their old nature, in order to meet its demands, will eventually reap ruin; but those who keep sowing in the field of the Spirit will reap from the Spirit everlasting life. 9 So let us not grow weary of doing what is good; for if we don’t give up, we will in due time reap the harvest. 10 Therefore, as the opportunity arises, let us do what is good to everyone, and especially to the family of those who are trustingly faithful.

What -- and who -- does the apostle Paul mean by "those who are trustingly faithful," because we don't want to guess or leave anything out (again), do we? After all, look at ALL that's left out of the whole message of Chapter 5--it doesn't start and stop with verse 5:14. Vital information follows, information too many forget or fail to be aware of, information that completes what's being conveyed. The best way to identify this meaning ("trustingly faithful" and who it refers to) is to start at the beginning of Galatians and read all 6 chapters. Here's the link so you can do that:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+1&version=CJB

It's been said: "It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian," though I don't readily recall who said it. People who freely use Galatians 5:14, ignore or don't know the rest of it, and usually recite it because they are defending their or the rights of a person to continue in his or her sin, called sin by God, though the world may have even made it legal. And their approval -- which they mean to be loving by -- is not an example of Christian/Messianic love. Jesus came here to save people from the prison of sin and the wages of sin, and from the Adversary's clutches and deceptions that lead to eternal death in Hell. 

If you think my posting this is unkind or unloving or stern, I invite you to read 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 at

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+5&version=CJB

The only reason any of us believe that it's more loving to allow others to die in their sin is because we have believed a false Gospel and in a false Jesus. The God of the Old Testament is the same Jesus (God) of the New Testament -- and God does not change. [For intelligent, qualified, thoroughly researched understanding of Scripture, I invite you to check out Dr. Michael Lake's videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/biblicallife/videos ]

I remember while in college, I got out of a class on the first floor and went to the restroom on the third floor before my next class. My mirrored reflection showed ink on my face. Not one friend, acquaintance, or stranger had brought this to my attention. And that was just ink that washed off fairly easily. I ask you to ponder this: Is it more loving to let someone die in their sin by keeping silent or risk angering or losing them for a while in this life so a seed is planted that Holy Spirit nurtures within them to save them for God's Kingdom? If God commands us to speak His Truth to power, how much more so to those we love or know He does? However, this doesn't mean to nag them. Tell them once, then pray and trust God. 

May the peace of the Lord our God be with you.

BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY

Please say these Words of Testimony (from Scripture) ALOUD and as often as needed.

From Secrets of A Prayer Warrior by Derek Prince

Through the blood of Jesus, I am redeemed out of the hand of the devil. - Eph. 1:7

Through the blood of Jesus, all my sins are forgiven. - Eph. 1:7

The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, continually cleanses me from all sin. - 1 John 1:7

Through the blood of Jesus, I am justified, made righteous, just-as-if-I’d never sinned. - Rom. 5:9

Through the blood of Jesus, I am sanctified, made holy, set apart to God. - Heb. 13:12

My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, sanctified by the blood of Jesus.

Therefore, Satan has no place in me, no power over me through the blood of Jesus. - 1 Cor. 6:19-20

Thank You, God, for the precious blood of Jesus. Thank You for the redemptive blood of Christ. 

Thank You for the justifying, sanctifying, precious blood of the Lamb of God.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

I praise You, Jesus, for You paid the price of my redemption.

You shed Your precious blood on the cross.

You are the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

And now, Lord, I have taken the

blood from the basin [as in Exodus, first Passover]

and transferred it to my own personal needs

by the hyssop of my testimony.

Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST JESUS

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS AND GOING FORWARD: BE SURE TO PRAY THIS ALOUD AND OFTEN, PERHAPS EVERY DAY, AS GOD’S SPIRIT MAY INSPIRE YOU TO DO.

Who is like You, ADONAI, among the mighty? Who is like You, sublime in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? - Exodus 15:11

Abba Father, seated upon Your Throne of Grace in Heaven, Holy is Your Name. Your grace and mercy endure forever. All glory, honor, and praise are Yours, from eternity past to eternity future.

Abba Father, I pray that from the treasures of Your glory, You empower us with Your inner strength by Your Spirit, so the Messiah may live in our hearts through our trusting. By Your grace, help us to be rooted and founded in love, so that we, with all Your people, will be given strength to grasp the breadth, length, height, and depth of the Messiah’s love, yes, to know it, even though it is beyond all knowing, so we will be filled with all the fullness of You, Lord. [Ephesians. 3:16-19]

By Your grace, help us to lead a life worthy of the calling to which we have been called. Help us to be humble, gentle, and patient, bearing with one another in love, and making every effort to preserve the unity the Spirit gives through the binding power of shalom. [Eph. 4:1-4]

Help us, Father, to strip off our old nature and to let our spirits and minds be continually renewed. Help us to clothe ourselves with the new nature created to be godly, which expresses itself in righteousness and holiness that flow from the truth. [Eph. 4:22-24]

Father, by Your grace, help us to let no harmful language come from our mouth, only good words that are helpful in meeting the need, words that benefit those who hear them. Help us to get rid of bitterness, rage, anger, violent assertiveness, and slander, along with all spitefulness. Help us be kind to each other, tenderhearted, and forgiving of each other, just as in the Messiah, You have forgiven us. [Eph. 4:29-32]

Help us to pay careful attention to how we conduct our life – to live wisely, not unwisely, and to use our time well, for these are evil days. Help us to not be foolish, but to seek to understand what Your will is. [Eph. 5:15-16]

Help us, Father, so that whenever we open our mouths, words will be given to us to be bold in making known the secret of the Good news, for which we are emissaries. Help us to speak boldly, as we should. [Eph. 6:19]

[The following is based on Ablaze for God by Wesley L. Duewel]

Father, help us become more passionately committed to Jesus Christ than ever before. Give us passion for souls, to Your glory. Give us sensitivity to others. Make us spiritually radiant—to Your glory. Give us boldness in witnessing. Help us to make effective prayers that are also a priority. Lead us, Father, into a secret fellowship with You, where a heavenly fire is kindled within us, making personal work for souls easy, natural, a relief, and a rest. Help us to see souls as through Your eyes so we, too, have a tireless longing in their regard. Father, let Your Holy Spirit pour agape love into our hearts so we love others with the same love for the unworthy, the undeserving, and the sinners as did Messiah Jesus, to Your glory.

Holy Spirit, give us eyes to see when a person’s heart is ready, when s/he faces a crisis where we can help, when You have brought the person across our paths for a purpose. Guide us to be in the right place at the right time to speak to or bless and love the right person. Give us Your anointed touch so we understand and empathize rightly. Give us the right words in all circumstances and moments – or direct us to be silent, according to Your will.

Abba Father, give us a new and deeper love and faith than we’ve ever had before. Pour more of the love of Christ Jesus into our hearts. Through Your grace, give us an intensified sense of Your presence in our lives. Speak in ways so that all – both saved and unsaved – are gripped by the Spirit of God, are aware of the presence of God, and bow before You in new obedience to Your will.

Father, give us the eyes to see correctly, the ears to hear correctly, the mouths to speak correctly, the hearts to know Your truth correctly, the minds to understand correctly, the hands to serve You correctly, and the way to represent You correctly and to Your glory.

Help us to hear Your voice; guide us throughout this day. Help us to see, hear, pray, and then speak.

Make us a definite blessing to someone today. Pour the love of Christ Jesus through us and into the lives of others – saved and unsaved – whatever their age. Provide more workers for Your harvest, and more help for Your laborers.

Help us to realize and use the gifts You gave us for the good of others. Guide us in how we use our talents, gifts, and time. Teach us to pray and believe for Your guidance. Help us develop a listening ear to what it is You want us to hear. Teach us to ask for Your anointing to any form of legitimate work or ministry. Help us to remain humble in the use of Your gifts, to value gifts of other Christians, and to give You the praise and glory for all.

Father, guide us into all truth (John 16:13). Open our eyes so we see wonderful things in Your law (Psalms 119:18). Show us the beautiful unity of Scripture and how one verse shines light on another. Help us receive the Spirit, Who is from God, that we may understand what You have freely given us (1 Corinthians 12).

Holy Spirit, guide us as to how to apply the Word to our own hearts and the needs of others. Divinely enable us through guidance, assistance in prayer, illumination, reminding, restraining, and sealing ministries of Your Spirit.

Father, help us to obediently put away all that might hinder the Spirit’s working. Help us to separate ourselves from all which the Spirit convicts us by His searching light. Help us to yield in totality of surrender that yearns for all Your grace can do in our lives. Help us to claim by faith all Your gracious promises.

Help us to empty ourselves so we can be filled with the Spirit. Help us to live the deeper life, the higher life, the crucified life, the victorious life, the holy life, or the life of rest in our Lord. Change our weaknesses to strengths through You; transform our defeats into victories to Your glory. Cleanse all our defilements with the precious Blood of Messiah Jesus.

Holy Spirit, lead us to a new step and degree of consecration so that the Lordship of Christ Jesus within us may be more nearly total than we ever dreamed of. Holy Spirit, make us hungry for what You long to do within us.

Father, through Your grace, help our trust to produce action, our love produce hard work, and our hope produce perseverance.

Abba Father, through Your grace, and Holy Spirit, change my heart so it is more like that of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; turn me from sinful pride, cause me to love God with all my being and my neighbor as myself. [Taken from The Last Things by George Eldon Ladd.] Father, help all come to an understanding—a whole-Bible understanding—of what loving our neighbors as ourselves means, according to You. The Adversary has succeeded in confusing so many in this regard.

Also, Father, when it is Your will for any who call You Lord to “shake the dust from our feet” and move on from those who reject You, strengthen us to do this and put the proper prayer for them into our hearts and upon our lips. Almighty God, pursue the lost, the backsliders, and those who’ve never known the joy of calling You Abba Father. Lead them to repentance, deliverance, salvation, and redemption through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let them know Your love for them is so great that You gave the full measure to save them. Extend Your loving hand to them, Lord, and then show them how to walk the narrow path that leads to eternal life with You.

Father, I thank You and praise You, in Jesus’ Name, the Name above all names, the Name to which every knee must bow and every tongue confess He is Lord.

Amen and Amen.

PRAYER WARRIOR INTERCESSION: AFGHANISTAN

Imagine it's your life in jeopardy: You'd appreciate several thousand people -- tens of thousands, in fact -- praying for you. To that end, calling all Prayer Warriors, and asking you to share this call-to-prayer far and wide.

The Patriot Nurse has done three nighttime intercession watches regarding this matter. Day or Night, let's keep the prayer watch going. Whatever time of day you can do a prayer watch is fine. As she said, Whatever time that is, is the time God our Father assigned to you. 

So... get your Bible, something to drink, and be ready to pray. You have several options to accommodate your schedule:

3:45:34 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oNlmA6EiwY 

1:30:05 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5IBHs7lAtU

1:04:50 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRqwQH7fefY&t=1184s

Please -- invite other Believers to intercede as well, whether that's one more person or your church. 

Please -- don't hesitate to do this every day for as long as needed. Nor do we need to limit this: There are many situations that need such prayer.

May God our Father rain down His grace, mercy, strength, and peace that surpasses all understanding upon all who call Him Lord and King, and may He lead the lost to repentance, deliverance, salvation, and redemption through Jesus Christ. All Glory, Honor, and Praise be to our God, from eternity past to eternity future. In thanksgiving and praise, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

YOU WANT ME TO PRAY FOR WHO???

      "There is no political solution to a spiritual problem." - Steve Quayle      

    Why do we Christians find it so hard to believe that so much depends on our praying? We take the attitude that what goes on is beyond our control; there is nothing we can do about the government--or prejudice or hatred or whatever ills we see around us. We shrug our shoulders. We criticize. We complain. But we fail to pray. This is why we see worldwide moral and ethical decline, both in leadership and in national culture. We have not understood the limitless possibilities of praying according to God's will as revealed in His Word. [Excerpt from Secrets of A Prayer Warrior by Derek Prince]
