DEATH & LIFE

INTRODUCTION

When people think or talk about death, I have discovered that there are a massive amount of other words and feelings that are connected. Let me help separate all of the side issues and put a frame around just the word death to give us an opportunity to truly understand.

This is a list of most of the words and feelings I have experienced attached to the word death perhaps you may have even more:

DEATH – fear, pain, murder, scared, killing, sickness, diseases, accidents, injustices, war, sorrow, life after death, confusion, resurrection, Easter, religion, church, funeral, casket, cremation, burial, graves, cemeteries, disasters, grief, mourning, darkness, unknown, loneliness, mortality, loss of life, pandemics, ambulances, chaos, firetrucks, earthquakes, explosions, police cars, screaming, powerlessness, helplessness, hopelessness and the end of the world, the end of everything.

Now let’s separate the word DEATH out of this list and let it stand alone. Even the dictionary defines death as; loss of life. So to define death one must first understand Life. What is life? Is life the opposite of death? When did life happen?

FIRST HUMAN LIFE HAPPENED WITH ADAM

The earliest record of the start of human life was verbally handed forward from generation to generation until it was written down. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (living soul). Genesis 2:7

***John speaking of creation describing Jesus as the Spoken Word that all things were made through Him…and in Him (Jesus) was Life. John 1:1-4

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” (John 11:25-26)

Jesus was recorded saying, I am the way, the truth and the life… John 14:1-6

***… the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

When did death start?

FIRST HUMAN DEATH HAPPENED WITH THE SAME ADAM

But now Christ is risen from the dead and has become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so I Christ all shall be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

Why did Adam die? And how exactly did that happen?

Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:15-17
God made Eve to be Adam’s helper and wife. Genesis 2:21-25
Satan tempted and deceived Eve to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Listen in to the conversation: The serpent said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?… You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:1-5
As the serpent; known today as the devil or Satan causes mankind to have doubt and unbelief in God’s Word a war has been declared. Satan trying to recruit or deceive mankind away from Father God. Even though this war has been going on for thousands of years, Jesus; “Life Himself” is just about ready to end it once and for all!
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasing to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened.
Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God.
Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:6-9

Lord God, creator of everything including Adam and Eve, gave one command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Even though they were deceived by Satan, they chose to disobey. This is called sin. When God gives a command and we “miss the mark.”

For the wages of sin is death… Romans 6:23

But wait a minute, Adam did not die until after he had many children and turned 930 years old. So what actually happened here?

SPIRITUAL DEATH LEADS TO PHYSICAL DEATH

When God breathed into Adam, he became a living being or soul. Where is your soul? What is your soul? We know that Adam’s body was made of the dust of the earth. We understand this now as the elements found in dirt are also the base of elements in our flesh bodies. When God breathed life into Adam it was God’s Life Spirit that gave physical life to Adam’s physical body. Even though this is a great mystery, God is revealing it to us through the written book of Genesis Chapter one and two! Let us take deeper look at those events.

IN THE BEGINNING GOD

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

First day – God said, Let there be light and divided the light from the darkness:
God called the light day and the darkness night.
Second day – God said, Let there be a firmament (visible arch of the sky) separating atmosphere waters from the ground waters. – God called the firmament Heaven.
Third day – God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered. – God called the dry ground earth and the gathered waters He called seas
Continuing the third day – God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself
Fourth day – God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth. Then God made the Sun, moon and stars and set them in the firmament of heavens.
Fifth day – God said, Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens. God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind.
Sixth day – God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind.

CREATION OF MAN

This is an amazing jump in creation from: living plants, living trees, living water creatures, living winged birds and beasts of the field, to God creating man. Let us read this event carefully.

Continuing the sixth day – Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the bids of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
God gave Adam his mate Eve, and with their sexual union they were given the ability to produce “like kind” children.

Remember, to understand death we must first understand life! Not just plant and animal life but amazing human life.

BODY – We see God creating the body of man with the same pattern, out of the elements of the: ground, dust, dirt (common elements like the animals). But with man it is more than that.

SPIRIT – God breathed Himself into man or breathed His Spirit into man which caused a third thing to happen: man became. Man became the greatest of all God’s creation. God separated man from all other creatures in that God gave man the ability to “know” God and communicate with God Himself.

SOUL – Man became a living being (living soul). God made Adam in His Image.

That is the ability to: think, reason, communicate and create, this takes a mind or soul (sometimes called “the heart” of man). The soul of man is his: mind, will and emotions.

This is confirmed with the scripture verse written by John the apostle: Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23

So what is this life of man that we have been given, and what is its purpose?

MANKIND – you and me; as we are offspring of Adam created in God’s image, let’s break it down.

Adam had a physical body.
God Breathed His Spirit into Adam.
God’s image; the soul which is our mind, will and emotions.
Adam had a face to face relationship with God.
Adam disobeyed God’s instructions which separated him from the presence of God, remember Adam hid from God, because he felt shameful.
Adam became spiritually disconnected or spiritually dead.
God laid out the plan to be reconnected, but it will take a while; a few thousand years for Jesus to come on the scene to put things “legally” back in order.
You and I are offspring of Adam and ‘like kind’ produces ‘like kind’, therefore we were born spiritually dead also. This is called our sin nature. It is our nature to sin (disobey God).
Instead of living our lives according to the leading of the Spirit of God; our spirit is dead, we live our lives according to leading of our flesh. Working to feed, protect, shelter and gratify our physical bodies.
The results of this spiritually dead lifestyle (without making a course correction) leads to physical death forever! We are born spiritually dead, working our whole life trying to stay physically alive and for some, even pampering our physical life but the Bible says: What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and loses his own soul? Mark 8:36
Bad news; The wages of sin is death… Romans 6:23
Good news; The wage of sin is death, BUT the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

WHAT HAVE WE DISCOVERED SO FAR?

Human life – my life your life, has an amazing physical beginning; at physical birth from our mother’s womb. Once birthed; the natural order of things is physically and mentally developing from a baby to an adult. We are born spiritually dead, meaning that we have no direct input from our creator. We are raised, educated, and programed primarily by the group of people around us and what they believe. We base all of our belief according to our five senses or our five input sensors; touch, taste, sound, smell, and sight. This is how we process physical information. Nothing spiritual here. Unfortunately most of this “raising” is how to survive physically and mentally in this physical world because most of our parents were spiritually dead when they raised us. If they were not seeking God and Truth, they had little to offer us about the spirit.

I was fortunate I suppose, my mom was not a God follower but not a God rejector. She leaned toward the idea of reincarnation and multiple lives and was also an intellectual; putting a lot of stock in her own reasoning ability. The good news for me, fourth child in the family, is that she did not directly put her beliefs on me. She let me struggle with eternal things on my own. Even though my baby sister died when I was four years old, and I saw my dog get run over by a car at age five; she never talked about death and what happens. But I did have a God loving, Jesus following, Holy Ghost filled Grandmother and Aunt loving me, influencing me and praying for me…but that is my story, we are talking about you. That is unless you can recognize some God followers in your life!

We also know that we were born into a war zone and we have the same enemy that Adam and Eve were conquered by; Satan and his kingdom of darkness. All of us were born into this kingdom of darkness by default. God gave Adam dominion over the earth when Adam chose the way of Satan in the garden; he actually, “legally” gave that dominion (of the garden, world) over to Satan when he disobeyed God. That is why scripture says:

But even if our gospel (good news) is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

DEATH OF JESUS

The crucifixion of Jesus was a part of God’s plan. The sin of mankind would require a sacrifice. God brought His son Jesus (a perfect man with no sin) into the world to sacrifice His one Holy Life in exchange for all of our spiritually dead lives. In time you will learn this was a “legal” agreement to literally buy back all mankind, and the earth from Satan. Remember, Adam “legally” gave away the title deed of the earth when he disobeyed God and followed the serpent Satan.

And He (Jesus) bearing His own cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they crucified Him…John 19:17-18

RESURRECTION OF JESUS FROM THE DEAD

What Satan; the enemy, our enemy did not count on was:

…Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once… 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

This was accomplished about two thousand years ago, giving mankind opportunity to accept what Jesus had done for them. We now can understand this has been a war of two kingdoms: Satan’s kingdom of darkness and Jesus’ Kingdom of Light.

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13

GOD IS TRYING TO GET OUR ATTENTION!

Even though we are born spiritually dead God wants us to accept His Love and He is constantly trying to get our attention through several ways.

NATURE – the amazing beauty of nature; majestic landscapes, morning sunrises and evening sunsets. Nature itself testifies of the greatness of God; planets, moons, stars and galaxies!

WRITTEN WORD – God also gave us His written Word. His written account of His creation, history, and original design for mankind. You have at your fingertips the oldest written documents in the world that have been translated into your language! We have to make the effort to read it, to search for ourselves.

MIRACLES – If we think about it, we have all seen miracles. Witnessed the supernatural. That is, we have seen or experienced things that are beyond the natural; Super-Natural if you will. This makes us ask questions, God likes your questions. Your questions are the start of your path to Him!

QUESTIONS – This may sound like cheating, but our Loving God planted within each one of us questions: Where did I come from, why am I here, and what happens when I die? I know you have at least thought about these things in your mind because you are reading this article.

PREACHERS – People like me who have witnessed the love and acceptance of God, and who have experienced firsthand becoming spiritually alive by simply believing God’s very patience plan to restore mankind back to Him through the acts of Jesus, His Son. Plus receiving Jesus personally into our lives as Savior, Lord and King! OK, I know that there are a lot of misinformed “preachers” talking today – that are motivated by greed and use religion to “control” and take advantage of people, but as a treasure hunter, we might have to dig through a lot of “fools gold” to get to the real thing. Today I hope I become a trusted voice for you, in this very fragile world.

ALLOW ME TO BRING IT HOME FOR YOU

Life is physical and spiritual.
We have physical life when we were born from our mother’s womb.
Our major reasoning information comes from those around us and our five senses.
With this reasoning we understand all things stop living (plants animals and people) and this is our understanding of death. We usually follow the thinking that natural death is when a person grows old, to a certain undetermined age, and their human functions (heart, lungs, minds) just stop.
If a person stops living earlier than that undetermined age, we say they died before their time. We say if a person is murdered or in a life taking accident that it is a tragedy.
ETERNITY – some kind of life after death. Even though I have had a few people tell me that their understanding of death is just a “dirt nap”. One lives, one dies and that is it. It is actually a philosophy from the days of Rome; Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. But I have personally interviewed thousands of people, mainly in the USA, and I would say 90% believe in some kind of “afterlife” and most call it some form of heaven. And many believe there are rules to get there. What you do in this life determines the next life sort of thing.

BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I hope the things you have just read make some sense. I hope they have answered some of your questions. I have used the Bible and my personal experience in writing this article as my foundation and believe everything I have written. I have used the Word of God recorded in the Bible as my reference of Truth and here is what I know. The Bible itself says that it is alive, it will mess with your life, and it demands action:

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of, soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:12-13

TO OVERCOME DEATH, HOW DO WE BECOME SPIRITUALLY ALIVE?

How do we become spiritually alive, so we can know God and be “reconnected” with Him? Truth says…without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is… Hebrews 11:6

Can you see how the Bible helps you to answer and decide?

– Do you believe that God is? Yes, No?

Even though we were born spiritually dead Truth says … the gift of God is eternal life (spiritual life) in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

– Do you believe that YOU can have spiritual life, eternal life in Jesus? Yes, No?

When Jesus was killed on our behalf, so that we could be restored to God, God raised Him from the dead after three days in the grave and Truth says …the power which He (God) worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also int that which is to come. Ephesians 1:20-21

– Do you believe that God raised Jesus from the dead? Yes, No?

The journey I just took you through was a process, like when a baby is born. In this case born again. Not physical life but spiritual life. By your simple act of believing it is like taking your first breath, God breathing the life of His Spirit into YOU. Yes YOU personally! You are being born again; spiritually!

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

– Right now Father God is talking to you personally through His Words that you have just read. You entered the conversation when you answered YES! Now just take a moment and speak out loud, directly to Jesus with your answers:

Jesus,

I do believe in God.

I do believe God raised you from the dead.

I confess with my mouth out loud; Jesus, you are my Lord and Savior.

By faith I accept Spirit Life from Father God.

I am spiritually alive in you Jesus!

WELL DONE

Friend in Christ, you have one amazing and exciting path ahead. I pray that our Lord will bring true followers of Jesus into your life to help you along the way.

I would also be honored if I could be one of those trusted voices in your life in this fragile world.

Healing, Generational Curses

Curse breaking in Jesus Name

Kingdom People Newsletter – December 2020
Primarily to the Gentiles of the USA
TheBibleGuy.com

PHYSICAL PROBLEM

From broken arms to DNA handed down problems

A broken arm is physical, and it will heal on its own OR a doctor can manipulate the bone back to its original position and let it heal in proper alignment on its own, to God be the glory that is how He created our bodies. OR we can ask God for a “creative miracle” and a broken arm can be restored immediately. In all of these ways God gets the glory!

In the Kingdom of God one of our Kingdom privileges and our legal battle with the enemy is: by the stripes beaten on King Jesus’ body I am already legally declared healed! Provision granted 2000 years ago! Word declared, Faith applied, enemy defeated, body healed, amen.

A physical problem handed down from parents, example: a doctor will ask for a physical history. If your folks had high blood pressure very possible the child could be susceptible as it may run in the family. This could be primarily only a physical condition that “runs in your family handed down physically”. In this case we probably ate the same as our parents (Fried chicken & gravy, gravy, gravy). We probably lived in the same place (maybe over a toxic dump site). OR we may have just got a downloaded a physical DNA gene that is not the best all of which could cause a physical problem.

Still a physical problem, handled the same way as above.

SPIRITUAL PROBLEM

This will involve a demonic spirit, a demon, a fallen angel controlled by Satan

The most common demon is simply called “a familiar spirit”. This demon has little authority or power but because of our lack of knowledge seems to create the most problems. This is a demon that at sometime for some reason has been dispatched to your relatives past and if unchallenged, handed down to each generation.

A FAMILIAR SPIRIT is a GENERATIONAL SPIRIT attached to your family, and has to “gain entrance”.

Probably gained entrance through someone in the family speaking a curse on the family (knowingly or not) or an outsider speaking a curse on the family (knowingly or not).
Is simply familiar with a large portion of your families “ways” everything from how your great-great grandmother would sneak out back behind the woodshed and chew tobacco, to the exact route you drive to work every day. This demon is just familiar.

WEAPONS:

First, knowledge of ways and patterns of your entire relative pool…and second, power of suggestion until third, you actually speak and possibly repeat the curses on your family.

Let us use “Flu season” as an example.

This phrase was once not a real thing, it was created within a hundred years because someone was selling something and caused fear so people would take their product. Because the demon “knows” your family so well he can put suggestions of the fear of the flu all around you…billboards on your exact path you always take to work, radio stations you listen to, the notice on the board at work, the suggestion of your child’s teacher at school, the advertisement for softer tissues to wipe your nose until you or someone in your family DECLARES WITH THEIR WORDS, It is flu season…battle lost. With our mouths we make spiritual contracts.

One of the weapons this demon will try to use is to get you to become an expert on a particular problem. This comes through the gate of pride but is hidden through false humility (which is pride). When a possible diagnosis is given, and the patient becomes an expert on the subject. Knows all of the symptoms, treatments, side effects of medications and how this thing eventually kills you. Gives advice on getting your affairs in order because this is going to kill you.

USING FAITH AND WISDOM!

1. View EVERY DISEASE through the eyes of a military attack!
2. Do not become an expert on any disease.
3. Use your battle words to share your situation with other believers to set the tone. It seems as if my body is under attack! I have been hit with symptoms of (whatever-sharp pains, lack of strength, etc.),
4. I have recruited a doctor to help me fight this battle until he/she will pronounce me well!
5. After doing a family health history it is possible that I am being attacked by a generational curse, a familiar demonic spirit handed down by my family ancestors.
6. It seems that this demonic attack has caused some unacceptable physical manifestations in my body.
7. Please stand in agreement with me:

“Father God, as I humbly yet boldly come before Your Throne in the Name of Your Son Jesus, of which you established as the highest, most powerful name in earth. I praise You for all that You are, I thank You for all that You have done for me, and I serve You because Your gracious love motivates me to be like You.

Father God, I declare that I have broken the power of Satan’s kingdom of darkness off my life and have entered into Jesus’ Kingdom of Light, proclaiming Jesus, the Son of God as my King and Savior.

Father God, I first of all ask that You would heal my body from every attack that has and is coming against it, if I have made an error in someway that has caused this attack please reveal it to me so that I may repent and set things in order.

Secondly by the authority of Jesus Name and the blood He shed for me “I break every curse that has been spoken against me, my family and my relatives and return them to the sender with a blessing. Every unclean spirit that has been commissioned against me and my family I release you from your assignment in Jesus Name and give you permission leave. NOW!

Father God, I now receive Your healing, Your deliverance, Your forgiveness and give You the glory for this victory, may I continue to be of service to You and Your Kingdom. Amen.”

SPIRITUAL MAINTENANCE

Knowing that the demonic spirit inside of many get agitated when you are in its presents, knowing that people may take opportunity EVERYDAY to curse you (driving and someone honks, gives a bad hand gesture and throws out a curse, curses you on Facebook because of your righteous beliefs in the Bible, or even you having a birthday may cause someone to remember you and just because of jealousy, or whatever, may blurt out a curse, you may need to do maintenance.

Maybe daily for a while, weekly or if you are feeling an unusual attack:

“Father God I continue to break any verbal, written or ritual curses carried out against me, my marriage and my family today, may they all be sent back to the sender as a blessing, I ask in Jesus Name, Amen.”

Blessings,

Thomas Spencer

The Path of Lawlessness

Antichrist, Jesus, Kingdom People, Lawlessness, The Bible Guy

How did we get here, what is next, and what is our Hope?

Kingdom People Newsletter – August 2020
Primarily to the Gentiles of the USA
TheBibleGuy.com

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work…
2 Thessalonians 2:7

Part I – What is Lawlessness?

Law-less-ness

Inability to reason, a state of disorder due to a disregard of the law.
No community standard of right or wrong.

chaos, confusion, disarray, disorder, disorderliness, disorganization, disruption, disturbance, havoc, riot, strife, turbulence, turmoil, unrest, upheaval, rebellion, uprising

Law-ful-ness

Opposite of Lawlessness

rightfulness, peacefulness, quiet, tranquility, law, law-abiding, legality, legitimacy, rule, calmness, harmony, order, orderliness, peace, peacefulness, quiet, tranquility

The Starting Point

For lawlessness to start there must first be a “law” that people could practice lawfulness. Did you get that? Where did lawfulness start?

In the beginning God…Genesis 1:1

So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone. Deuteronomy 4:13

…for when Gentiles, who do not have the (written) law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the (written) law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts… Romans 2:14-15

…I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts... Hebrews 8:10

I love this phrase:

Eternal Rules of Order and Righteousness, as Heaven Ordained.

Kingdom People Today

We Kingdom People see and discern lawlessness EVERYWHERE: government, military, religion, media, law enforcement, medical field, financial market, secret societies, schools, youth clubs, homes…

First, for us – we know that the law is good if ones uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless… 1 Timothy 1:8-9
Second, people are not our enemy – …we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:2
Third – ...now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the Ekklesia (those called out of Satan’s kingdom of darkness into Jesus’ Kingdom of Light) to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places…Ephesians 3:10

FUTURE ARTICLES:

What holds Lawfulness in place?
How is Lawlessness increasing so quickly?
Decaying path of Lawfulness in the USA.
When the standard has been disregarded.

Hope for us Kingdom People who follow and practice truth!

Prayer, The Bible Guy, Thomas Spencer

Finally, the air has cooled, the fans are turned off and as I sip coffee on the back deck watching the morning light, I look to the East and a morning star appears above the treetops. This has been a pattern of mine for years but this morning I asked myself when did this start? When did I start receiving so much joy and peace just sitting still?

Fishing. When I was around six or seven years old, my three older brothers were busy with their lives, so by default I guess, my dad would take me fishing early in the morning. Four things I learned about myself and fishing.

First, when fishing with dad it was OK to eat a candy bar and drink a soda at 5 AM.
Second, I did not have to brush my teeth or comb my hair and I got to wear my most comfortable clothes; you know the favorite worn jeans with a few holes, I usually pulled them out of the dirty clothes hamper.
Third, once we would leave the bait shop, and get to the “secret” pond there was no noise, only the sound of the early morning birds, locusts, a few frogs and the slow rhythm of the soft waves under our rowboat. If we had to talk, we would whisper as if on an undercover mission to sneak up on the fish.
Fourth, the truth is that I never really liked fishing at all, I just liked hanging out with my dad; just the two of us.

My dad was never a “church goer” and today I rejoice in that. Because he taught me early on, the value of just being quiet in the presence of God’s creation.

PSALM 46
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble,
Therefore we will not fear...
The Lord of Host is with us...
Come behold the works of the Lord...
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariot in the fire.
 
Be still and know that I am God;
 
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
The Lord of hosts is with us...

Trap of fake news – Do not fall into it

The Bible Guy

Kingdom People News USA – July 2020

As Kingdom members we dare not fall into the trap of cultural fake news. Fake news is just a distraction to tempt us away from our daily assignments of ministry.

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 2 Timothy 2:3-4

Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us… 2 Corinthians 5:20

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ Philippians 3:20

UNDERSTANDING THE FAKE NEWS PATTERN?

Stage #1 – One or more mouthpieces with some kind of image of authority, speaking fake, false, misleading, disinformation based on a biased viewpoint. Igniting targeted interest groups that attach their own personal agenda, then defend the news and attack anyone who opposed the view.

Stage #2 – Give it a name, with an easy initial to remember and brand it with a physical gesture to unite the movement. Now pre-made websites are launched with some kind of fake promises that motivate people to donate money to the cause. Yes, follow the money trail and you will find the group behind the curtain pulling the strings of thousands of puppets.

Stage #3 – Targeted groups now with their united name and brand begin to speak the same five talking points over and over like an “echo chamber” creating their own fake news until those that are listening begin to either side with them or oppose them. This is social media at its worse, constantly posting altered news clips, videos of injustices from years ago, connecting the injustices to their great grandfather’s grandfather, next someone picks up their gun.

Stage #4 – Release the Beast; individuals and groups are brought to a frenzy by the false news and now start to “mob up” to “right the wrong”. Remember, this is not an organic movement, there is always folks in the shadows paving a way for the beast. These are the ones who have pulled protest permits in advance, who have arranged bail money and attorneys to be on standby and who have posted the advertisements to hire protestors and purchased bricks to be strategically placed in those protest areas.

HOW TRAGIC BUT WE MUST MOVE PAST IT

If we allow our minds to get wrapped up in these wars, we risk missing the very assignment we have been called to. We might be blinded or seared in our hearts and miss an opportunity to pray, to give an encouraging word, to feed someone. We might be tempted to be offended ourselves and actually curse the one we are called to minister to.

I pray in Jesus Name that each of you would be on guard with your shield of faith held strong while practicing the gift of self-control. Keep your discernment sharp and pray the prayer of faith, lay hands on the sick, share the Gospel of the Kingdom. Be wise in all you do.

Kingdom People News July 2020

Why are we so distracted with this?

I am sorry I must use my discernment gift to connect these dots, but it seems that everyone is so distracted by this wave of deception that we can’t think about anything else. People of The Kingdom of God, please read, look up for yourselves and then get back to what Jesus has called you to today!

Rules of connecting the dots:

Who gets the money? Always, always, follow the money trail.

Who is getting the glory?

What is the purpose of a thing?

I did not know what the acronym BLM stood for, let alone that it was an actual organized group until a few months ago. I thought it was just another seared conscience group of violence. So, in my own investigation (it did not take long) I discovered it is basically a money laundering front for the Democratic Party. Follow my steps:

Internet: type BLM – 2. Click Home Page – 3. Click Donations, what do you find? ActBlue financial clearing house. 4. Click on ActBlue – 5. Click about us under their “Fine Print” page. Below are copies from their web site, which is legal to copy if I give the original source, of which I do.

Campaign Finance Laws

ActBlue, ActBlue.com, “Want Blue States?”, and “The online clearinghouse for Democratic Action”.

Political contributions are governed by campaign finance laws. ActBlue makes its best efforts to ensure that all contributions made on the ActBlue site are in accordance with these laws. Nonetheless, you have final responsibility for ensuring your own compliance.

For example: ActBlue will not permit users to make donations larger than $2,800 to any federal candidate.

Other Laws

Donations to charities (501(c)(3) organizations) and social welfare groups (501(c)(4) organizations) are not subject to any contributions (copied as is from site) limits. You may make unlimited donations to these groups on the site.

ActBlue is a nonprofit organization (did you get that) that builds tools Democrats count on to run their own small-dollar fundraising programs.

ActBlue Charities is a registered charitable organization formed to democratize charitable giving. A copy of our latest financial report may be obtained by emailing info@actblue.com or calling (617) 517-7600. Alternatively, our report detailing our programs, a financial summary, and the percentage of contributions dedicated to our charitable purpose, along with a copy of our license, may be obtained from the following state agencies: FLORIDA, GEORGIA. MARYLAND, MD, MISSISSIPPI, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, PENNSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, WISCONSIN, WEST VIRGINIA, WV.

CONCLUSION

Rules of connecting the dots:

Who gets the money? Democratic Party, Joe Biden in this case with just over 119 million so far in 2020.

Who is getting the glory? Well the fake news says that Black Lives are getting the recognition they deserve but, in my experience, the ones getting the money also get the glory.

What is the purpose of a thing? Fake news says that it is all about getting justice for Black Lives, triggered by a horrible death of a man being taken into custody that was murdered.

I am concerned that Black Lives have been deceived to believe that this movement of horrible violence would bring about some reform.

I see that BLM movement seems to spring up in riots just before an election.

I am concerned that some BLM financial donators may not know where their donations are going.

I am concerned that foreign financial donators (who legally cannot give to an USA election campaign) could use this clearing house to insert money into the Democratic Party unnoticed.

I am concerned that the whole nation, if not world, has been distracted to the degree of blocking our sight of “other things” being slipped through our country.

Wonderful People of The Kingdom of God on Earth:

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

2 Timothy 2:4

I know we all want to correct the wrong, champion the underdog and stand for righteousness but we must pick our battles wisely. You are being watched by the world. The entire world has access to everything you post online. I know you want to give a thumbs-up on an “off colored” post, but as The Ekklesia, The Called-Out Ones from Satan’s kingdom of darkness to Jesus’ Kingdom of light, we may be the only witness someone sees.

Now that we can see what is going on, may we stop engaging and get about our Lord’s business.

Blessings,

Look Up: 40 Yrs. with Jesus

Look Up: 40 Years Walking with Jesus!

Look Up: 40 Yrs. with Jesus

There comes a time when our lives would be much better if we would just look up.

Our dog Cowboy is getting up in years and surely his sense of smell is better than his eyesight. In the woods he was on the scent of the elk that linger on our property especially in the winter. Nose to the ground, at the edge of the pond with a full charge forward…it would have been much better if he had just looked up. Like a “slapstick” cartoon he actually ran into the largest elk of the bunch; he yelps, takes a submissive roll to his back and then slides into the pond.

In the past 40 years walking with Jesus, I have discovered three types of people:

Group One:

…those that drift aimlessly down the river, their compass is what “feels” good and usually with no goals or sense of direction. They have the thought that they cannot affect their destiny, therefore they try to “experience” everything with no consideration of consequences from choices or worse; lack of choices. They seem to have a lot of “drama” in their lives, little depth of truth, fleeting pleasure and little happiness. These remind me of those in Philippians 3:18-20 “…who set their minds on earthly things.” (read the rest below)

Group Two:

…those who crave knowledge and have mastered the Bible: “knowing” everything about the Jewish calendar & feasts, understanding the prophecies of end time eternity, dazzling those around with their expertise of the “tions” salvation, sanctification, redemption, justification, resurrection, dispensations, elections, predestination…blah, blah, blah. Possessing such great knowledge results in a life of: rules, laws and legalism but no relationship with the very Author of the Bible. This reminds me of Martha the sister of Lazarus in Luke 10:40 “…Martha was distracted with all her preparations…” Or the verse in Matthew 13:14 “In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”

Group Three:

…these may look like they are aimlessly drifting, but in reality they are fighting the current and headed toward a predetermined destiny. They may consume large quantities of Bible information but more like a treasure hunter learning as much as they can about the author of the book. They are constantly looking up as Mary (the other sister of Lazarus) did when she sat at the feet of Jesus; listening, learning in a relationship with the one who was speaking. Luke 10:39 “…Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.”

Like our dog Cowboy, perhaps we would all be better off, if we just looked up.

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Revelation 4:1 After this I looked (up), and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.

Philippians 3:18-20 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

We must mix all of the scriptures with faith or they remain as just words on a page. Over 40 years ago I was seeking Truth and I was given the very Word of God that pointed me to God’s Son Jesus and The Holy Spirit or the “Spirit of Truth” that teaches me all things! Wow what a package deal!

March 20, 2015 Fear not! I am telling you this in advance so you will know that God is: in control, has a plan and wants to get your attention.

This is not the end of the world. Once the Bride of Christ returns with Jesus after the Tribulation recorded in The Book of Revelation, we still have 1000 more years on earth.

What to do now?

1. If you are not sure of your eternal destination please read these verses in your own bible: John 3:3, John 3:16, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9, Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9 and click on my website and follow the steps. www.TheBibleGuy.com

2. If you are sure of your relationship with Christ then encourage yourself with the assurance of these verses: Read all of I John then read the Gospel of John 3:36, John 5:24 & John 17:3, Plus refresh yourself with these verses on Water Baptism; Matthew 3:11, Acts 2:38, 10:47 and then the assurance of Baptism Romans 6:3-5.

3. Now take your family through these same scriptures with actions of repentance, salvation; starting with your inner circle: those who live in your house. Then work your way outward to other family, friends, face book acquaintances etc.

The Picture – Phase One

Imagine with me that God pulled back the spiritual curtain that separates time and you gained some information in advance of an event that would shake every family in the nation like never before. Imagine for just a moment that you were shown this information so that you could prepare for it. Not to prepare to capitalize on your neighbors suffering but to be useful as an End Time Ambassador of Christ. This truly is what happened with apostle John and what he saw recorded in Revelation 17 & 18.

Imagine this Future Event: You “saw” the government make it illegal to speak the name of Jesus, illegal to own a Bible and illegal to broadcast Biblical programs, illegal to assemble, thus; shutting down every church building in the nation. You “saw” that you were quarantined and would be leading your family spiritually in your own home all by yourself. You would be teaching the Bible, praying over your children, worshiping with your wife, eating your meals in remembrance of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection until He calls us home. You would be covertly testifying to those around you of the saving power of Christ and you would be baptizing those who come to Christ.

Coming back to the present time, you are tempted to doubt that you can fulfill such a calling. No professional clergy, no building, just you and Jesus with your Bible and the power of The Holy Spirit. Do you feel equipped to spiritually lead your family in the way of our Lord?

That is why I am writing to you, it is not only my calling but also my great honor to encourage you in this path of equipping.

How did you do, did the picture seem a little freaky? Could you ever see yourself leading your family spiritually? I mean YOU leading them at home, not leading them to a religious institution to have another lead them spiritually. Even if the event of the closure of the church buildings never happened, the truth is that you are responsible before God to lead your family and the great news is that God has given you everything you need to fulfill His calling! He has given you His: Word, Salvation, Power, Provision, resources, Son Jesus, His Holy Spirit who lives in you and leads you, and today He has given you me.

The Picture Continues – Phase Two

The first picture I gave you was the soft and easy picture, Phase Two will be a little tougher, our Lord wants you to “see” and prepare for both.

Next Imagine with me that God pulled back the spiritual curtain and after the closing down of every church building, thousands more sprung up. But what seems like a great movement of “the church” is actually a movement away from God Himself. A new wave of coexistence and a co-mingling of True Faith with tolerating the teaching of false doctrines. Have you heard of the latest religious fad name Chrislam? It is the false doctrine that Christians, Muslims and Jews all originated from Abraham (which is true, “Father Abraham had many sons”) But the lie is that we all worship the same God. We do not! People, family, friends, coworkers, classmates asking you to go to church with them, quilting you and shaming you to go to church with them and you have to say no. Why? Because this is not the True Church that Jesus is building. This is the Wide Gate in Matthew that leads to destruction and also the whore Babylon in Revelation 17-18 that we are told to come out from among. With this “new wave” the Name of Jesus is removed, the Holy Word of God is nullified by lies and traditions of men and even though there may seem to be an appearance of godliness THERE IS NO POWER! From such you must prepare to exit, run home and lead your own family spiritually.

Now can you see that you will be teaching the Bible, praying over your children, worshiping with your wife, eating your meals in remembrance of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection until He calls us home? You will be covertly testifying to those around you of the saving power of Christ and YOU will be baptizing those who come to Christ.

You have been called to be an End Time Ambassador of Christ (and today I confirm that call) you are to prepare so you will be qualified.

Pray with me: Father God I receive the call lead, guide and teach me by Your Holy Spirit. Prepare me to lead my family, and touch the world around me with Your Truth, Love and Power in Jesus Name. Amen.

Knowing where God lives: 40 Yrs. with Jesus – December 18, 2014 – Day 142,563

Picture from: vineandbranchworldministries.com

There are keys and then there are master keys.

Knowing where God lives or where His Presence is or where He invests His: time, energy, resources and life has become the most valuable master key in my life.

Isaiah 57:15a (NKJV) For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:

I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit…

I have discovered some religions practice one or the other but have not found one that practices both. See if you can understand the master key here.

Contrite and Humble but no reverence for the Holy

I have been in meetings where broken people have come to the end of themselves, cried out to God and have fallen on the floor laughing uncontrollably. Quoting the verse Isaiah 61:3 (NKJV) “…The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…” but then observed as the “flesh” takes over and they start barking like dogs (no reverence).

Legalistically Reverent but no intimate experience

On the other hand I have walked into meetings where everyone is legalistically threatened to enter like an old-fashioned library; most of the women wore grey with their hair up in buns and the men cowered like passive pets. They were trying to honor God who dwells in the High and Holy Place but actually made Him unreachable altogether.

The Master Key is to live in both! Tips I have discovered…

When I pray in public, I formally pray to our Father in Heaven (the High and Holy Place) in The Name of Jesus; referring to Jesus as Royalty; my King, my Lord, The Son of God! In contrast when I pray in the presence of our small group or my family or just all by myself; the atmosphere in the room turns more informal.

My language and worship dive deep, personal and intimate. There is no concern here for formalities or ritual. This is the place where my spirit prays: deep to deep. A place where there is no concern for time or schedules. It is the time of true confession and repentance and worship and deep joy with great hope and incomparable faith. The place where God dwells: in a contrite and humble spirit while maintaining reverence for the High and Holy!

The Word of God is full of Keys of Truth that unlock Life Mysteries!
