Walking on Water

Take A Step In Faith To See Miracles In Your Life

When we have trouble in our lives we often pray to God. But, sometimes we do not see anything happening. We expect a bolt from the blue, or a miracle, but God mostly works through His creation.

So we relax and have faith in God, and His goodness, His love, and His promises. But, we often already know what we need to do about the situation. We might not know exactly, but we know enough. We might have been given just a hint or enough information from God, to take a step in faith.

We might be sick. But, we know enough to realize that we should change some health habits in our lives. Perhaps start eating better or walking a little. We know we should stop doing that thing we do, or stop going to that place we go. We know enough to take a little step, then another step, and we pray more.

Maybe we are fighting with someone, and we know what caused it and what we must do to solve it. Just take a step. Then, another, and another. You prayed, now take that step you know to take. Trust God.

I’m not saying you should jump off a cliff. But, you could drive up there. You could buy a map, and find out where the cliffs are. You could take a step. Then, another and another, pray and keep having faith.

You might feel crippled, but called to walk. Take a step. Pick up your mat and walk. You already know enough. God has given you faith and enough information to take a step. Just do it. You prayed and prayed and prayed, but have you believed He answered and is waiting on you to trust Him and take a step?

You might be called to do the impossible, like walk on water. So, take a step. Test it. Look into it. Then, take another step, and have faith that He is there. Then, take another step, and another, trusting Him, until eventually you look, and you are walking on water.

Don’t stop trusting. Don’t worry about the wind, it’s nothing but air. Keep stepping and having faith. He is there.

Iron Sharpens Iron

“Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” –Proverbs 27:17

We often hear or have this belief that we are to always be happy and joyful. That we are to never have a complaint or conflict among brethren, and some believe we should never argue with those who oppose us.

But, that is really not the truth, nor is it reality. “In this world you will have tribulation.” We will have trouble, we will have conflict, but ultimately we are to realize that Jesus has overcome the world, and we overcome through Him. He works in us and through us. That does not mean everything is always daisies, as some try to maintain. We remind ourselves that He has overcome, and it works to help us, but it does not always remove the tribulation.

Believers often have disagreements about things in God’s Word. These disagreements can get very heated and even hateful. It’s claimed that this stuff drives people away from Christ. But let me ask you; does it drive people away from football when folks disagree or hate on different teams? Humans argue about politics, we argue about philosophy, we argue about academics, we argue about money, we argue about everything. It’s part of communication and learning. Does it drive us away? People are driven away from Christ, because they have listened to the demons whispering in their ear. Satan will show you all kinds of things that offend you, if it will keep you from getting saved, knowing Christ, growing in faith and serving God.

Remember, that iron sharpens iron. When this happens, heat is created as friction occurs. Bits of iron fly off, but both pieces become sharper. There will be conflict as God works to teach and improve us. There will be heat. There will be things removed. If not, then are we being changed? How can we grow stronger if we do not have more weight added to the bar we lift?

As we grow and learn in our spiritual walk, we will encounter challenges. When we express our view from God’s Word, we might encounter resistance. As we speak what God is teaching us, we might face others who disagree. There are people who have seen or gotten different views or who dwell in different stages of growth. They won’t totally agree always.

As we continue in discussing or arguing these points, we learn. We will get sharper and improve our arguments, or we will finally see that we were flawed in our reasoning, and let God change our minds. How you respond to this, is what matters. Understand that God is working on us, and that we should try to show love and forgiveness to those we disagree with. It’s hard to do this, to be sure, but even that is part of our training. Now some people will quit, when they face resistance. When they quit, they cease to grow and learn in that area. You have to have your beliefs and views challenged, or else how do you know if you believe false things?

Some people act like it’s a sin to argue or debate. It’s not; Jesus and Paul both discussed and debated. Be angry but sin not. The sin comes in how we treat others. It also comes by arguing for the sake of arguing, or never coming to a conclusion. I have debated or discussed things with people and it has been a joy. But, other times it has led to conflict.

Having your views challenged, sharpens your arguments. This is how you learn to organize your thoughts, and to become a more capable soldier for Christ. We learn among our brethren, how to discuss the truth, and share our values and beliefs. Then, when we face opposition, we can give a proper answer for why we believe. We can lead people to Christ, and not sound like a buffoon. We gain confidence in hearing the Spirit speaking into our hearts, as we serve Him. We learn from the Spirit as we encounter resistance.

We need more debate and discussion of God’s Word in our churches, so we can grow and learn how to engage the world around us for Christ. It’s not something to fear. Its part of our growth and it is good. We should train believers on how to deal with conflict and disagreement while we serve. We must learn how to deal with failure, when we discover we are wrong on a subject. It is difficult to deal with growth, and to keep a proper mind about these things. But, we must grow, and it’s better to do it among brethren. That’s what the body of Christ is for.

We are called to build the Kingdom. We are saints, soldiers and servants for Christ. We need to be ready to give an account of why we believe. Iron sharpens iron, to make it a useful tool, not to destroy it.

Should We Be Hearing From God?

Are we crazy?

People don’t tend to like it when you say “God told me” or that you imply that you hear from God.

They think that this is the realm of the cult.

They think this is what false prophets do to lead people into crazy stuff.

They might ask “Did you hear an audible voice?”

Trying to imply that you are insane if you hear from God.

We’ve all seen the movies and heard the stories of insane people who hear God. Or the mentally ill woman who killed her kids because God told her to.

News flash. That probably wasn’t God. That was a demon.

When we know the Word of God and believe it, we can compare those thoughts to the Word and cast that demon out.

When Abraham was tested to kill his son. He had far more insight into what was going on. He had walked with God and trusted God. It was years of seeing God’s character.

It was not some random thought that drove him insane. He was creating a picture of Jesus Christ, and God stopped him. Abraham even said before hand. “God will provide His own sacrifice.” He knew God would fix it. (Gen. 22)

Why?

Because He walked and talked with God. He heard from God.

That is relationship. That is walking in the Spirit. It is living by faith.

We can trust God.

The Bible says in Proverbs “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”–Prov. 3:5-6

Pray to the Lord about everything. Don’t trust your own fleshly thoughts. Seek Him. Seek wisdom. Seek the truth from the Holy Spirit. (John 16:13, James 1:5)

Talk to God and He shall “Direct thy paths”

That means we hear from God. He speaks to us. He guides us. He does this in many ways, through His Word, through His creation, through our lives, and through His Spirit.

There are some churches who ignore the Holy Spirit working in our lives and directing us. They don’t even mention it. If you talk about hearing from God, or act like God told you something, they will reject you and treat you like you are crazy.

Satan uses this to keep people silent and to cut the communication between God and his saints. The fear of appearing crazy keeps people from speaking on what God has done for them. It silences the testimony they have been given. It impacts the working of the saints.

Every person who God has called to serve Him are really supposed to appear insane to the World. That is kind of the point of it. We are not of this world. It is not our home. We should be a little crazy for Jesus.

But, too many folks want to fit into this world system and cannot have their customers or business contacts thinking they are a crazy religious person. So they stifle the Spirit.

Every preacher is supposed to preach as unto the oracles of God. (1 Pet. 4:10-11)

They are supposed to put forth the message God has laid on their heart, using the Word, the gifts and The Holy Spirit.

They are supposed to be telling people what God has told them.

Every week I pray for the Lord to tell me what to write for my sermon. And something always comes up, or I’m directed to re-do something old.

Does it make me crazy?

I think that in all history, when God touches people they are transformed and cannot go back to normal. They are no longer conforming to this world, but are being transformed as God renews their mind. This makes them seem crazy to those who are still conforming to this world.

Jesus said, “But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”—John 10:26-28

Do you hear His voice?

Do you hear Him guiding you?

Ask Him.

Read and study the Word, with the Holy Spirit teaching you. (1 John 2:27)

All of the Bible is God-Breathed. It is alive.

Jesus is the living Word. The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth.(John 16:13)

We are supposed to be fools for Christ.

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”— (1 Cor. 1:18-21)

Jesus said, “If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?”— (John 3:12)

Those who do not know God, do not understand heavenly things. They do not understand the spiritual. It is foolish to them. They do not hear His voice, and they hate those who do.

God has called them. Just like He calls us. But, they have turned away and ignored and let the devil snatch the Word from them. They have let the pleasures and troubles of life, along with the deceitfulness of riches choke out the Word.

He is still calling.

He is calling you if you are reading this.

Don’t let Satan snatch it away. Don’t let the demon get you to think you are crazy for hearing God knocking on your heart.

Turn to God and ask Him to save you.

Turn to God and ask Him to teach you and grow you.

We do hear His voice.

He calls us to Him.

He guides our life.

Listen to His call, and fear not.

Who is a Liar?

The Answer Might Surprise You.

“He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 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.”—Rev. 21:7-8

This is a haunting verse at the very end of the Bible.

Let’s rightly divide the word. (2 Tim. 2:15)

First, we must look at the first verse because it basically cancels out the rest. If you really turn to God because you hear His call and Confess Jesus as your Lord. You are saved.

“Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”—1 John 5:5

That’s what it says.

After salvation, God will work in our lives to change us and sanctify us if we have really turned to Him. Our faith will grow, if we are really with Him.

But, “the fearful and unbelieving” in the verse are those who have been too afraid to give up their life and turn to Christ. People who are too afraid of what people might think. Afraid to lose business and friends or family.

The unbelieving are those who refuse to put their faith in the Lord. They hear the call and refused.

Next we see a list of sinful actions, all of which God warns us about in the Word. But, all of which are sins that keep us from turning to God.

“abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,”

All these can be saved if they turn to God and confess Jesus as Lord. But, these sins make it extra hard for a person to break free.

An abominable lifestyle is hard to stop.

A murderer has refused to forgive. And instead chose to kill. Remember Jesus said, “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”—Matt. 6:14-15

This is talking about actual murder and murder in the heart. What we would call 1st degree murder. It’s also talking about people who have absolutely no regard for the lives of others at all.

A whoremonger is a pimp. A person who is a sex trafficker and exploits other people to survive, and for profit. It’s difficult to get out of this life. Like the Abominable there is a demonic presence in this type of thing.

The Sorcerer and Idolater have basically turned to other Gods for help and salvation. They have not turned to Christ. They have never had a relationship with Him.

That brings us to “Liars”.

This terrifies us because we have all lied. We have all told lies in our lives. Whether we want to admit it or not. We try to justify it. We try to make it “White Lies”. We lie because of fear. We lie to save ourselves and others. We share things we have not seen or proven.

We lie.

But, God clarifies in His Word who is a liar.

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”—1 John 2:22

So again, God tells us that the only people who are liars are those who have rejected Christ.

Why?

Because if you have accepted Christ, then your sin is washed away and you are hid in Him.

You do not sin because your sins are no longer held to your account. It’s not about what you do, it’s about your position in Christ.

“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.”— 1 John 3:9

In chapter one, John tells us to confess our sins. (1 John 1:8-10)

In chapter three, he tells us that those in Christ do not sin. These two ideas do not work together, unless he is talking about something else.

Clearly he is saying “We do not sin in the eyes of God. Because we are saved.” He is not saying we do not commit sins. That wouldn’t go with the need to confess our sins to God.

We are saved. We confess our sins to wash our feet.

John wrote Revelation and First John. When he says “All Liars” in Revelation 21:7-8 he is speaking of those who have rejected Christ. The Holy Spirit ties these together.

The only reason anyone is condemned is because they reject Christ. They have never been cleansed of Sin.

That’s it.

Jesus said, “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” —Matt. 10:32-33

Do you know Him? Have you confessed Him?

Turn to the Lord and let Him save you and grow you.

The Power Of Your Testimony

Go and tell

When you got saved, you had an encounter with God.

He called you. He whispered into your mind. He knocked on the door of your heart. He gave you a Word and you heard it and believed it and turned to Him. You asked Him to save you and confessed Jesus as your Lord.

When God called Abraham He said, “Come unto a land that I will show you.” (Gen. 12)

Abraham heard, believed, turned and followed.

When Jesus came to the disciples He said “Come and I will make you fishers of men.” They heard Him, believed, turned and followed. (Matt. 4)

They had an encounter with God, which led them to desire to know Him.

But, it started with an encounter that left a memory and a story.

Something that was carried through time. Something personal. Something they shared with others, in conversations and writings.

Their testimony.

A story of how they met Jesus and the great things He has done for them.

We see the story of the Gadarene demoniac. Who Jesus set free from the demons that tormented him. And when he was free he asked Jesus if he could travel with Him.

But Jesus saw a greater need.

He told the man. “Go to your house and tell what great things God has done for you.” (Luke 8:30-39)

That’s testimony.

When the Blind man was driven from the local church by the religious leaders, because he was healed on the sabbath against their traditions of men.

The pharisees came accusing the blind man and demanding him. They threatened him and his family, because Jesus had healed him on the sabbath. They wanted him to accuse Jesus of evil.

But, the man did not fear. He gave his testimony “Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.” (Luke 9)

He told the great things God has done. He told them that Jesus had healed him, and the Word spread and more believed.

We can go on about all the apostles, who went around the world, telling what Jesus had done for them and being killed for it, because they have believed.

That is our testimony. We are to tell others. We are witnesses.

That is the work we are called to do.

We are not all preachers. We will not save every one. Noah only saved 8 souls.

But, if we know Him; we all have a story to tell.

We can’t help but tell others.

Prophecy says that there will be mass persecutions in these last days, when Satan is driven down onto the Earth. He will seek to destroy anyone who knows God.

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

⁸And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

⁹And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁰And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

¹¹And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

¹²Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” —-Revelation 12:7-12

Satan and his demons will be driven to Earth, and will lead the Anti-Christ to greater evil. He will persecute anyone who claims to know Christ. He will overcome the saints in this world.

But as the saints are murdered, they will overcome Satan by the Blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony. They will keep telling others the story of what God has done for them, even in the face of death. And as they die, they will be set free forever in Christ.

Do you have a testimony?

Do you have a story about your encounter with God, and the great things Jesus has done for you?

The story of your relationship with Him, and the building of your faith?

The story of the work He has done on you and through you?

Pray about it. Ask Him.

Do We Really Have A Population Problem?

Or is it a land distribution problem?

I have grown up my entire life being told that the population would reach terrible levels and we would all starve.

It hasn’t happened yet. Much to my dismay.

I agree that there are too many people. I see it at Wal-Mart every Saturday. Or maybe that’s because all us peasants are only allowed the same day off.

I remember the days of COVID when people stayed at home and it seemed like we were living in a post apocalyptic dream. Less people and nature was healing.

But, do we really have a population problem?

Trust me, I am not advocating for more people. I’m not a big fan of people.

But, I like to solve problems and solving problems requires truth.

That being said, I once heard a person claim that the entire world’s population could live in an area the size of Texas.

This was years ago. I cannot tell you who said it first.

But, I decided to do the math (Which I hate) and see if it’s possible.

So check my figures.

I decided that we would create a mega city to put the world’s population in. I also decided that the population density needs to be tight, but not so tight that it has slum like conditions.

So, I picked the population density of Paris, France.

As of 2015 the population density of Paris was an average 21,289 per square kilometer

So that will be the population density of our mega city.

I would not build it in Texas, but that’s the size comparison we are using.

Texas is 678,054 square kilometers.

Now, in order to build the mega city we must exclude land we cannot build on, such as lakes. So ignore lakes and roads and rivers and parks etc. We are just making a simple calculation based upon area, population density and population.

The Earths current population is 8.2 billion people.

So, 8.2 billion divided by 21,289 =385,175.4427

That means that the entire earths 8.2 billion population, broken down into segments of 21,289 people per square kilometer can fit inside of the 678,054 square kilometers, of Texas.

As a matter of fact it looks like they could spread out a little bit.

Now of course there are things we do not take into account. Family sizes, living conditions, etc. This is just area and people. Let’s say we built high rise apartments for everyone.

The whole world would fit in an area the size of Texas more or less.

So, knowing this can help us see that we have a huge land distribution problem, not a population problem.

How much land is needed to feed 8.2 billion people?

We have an entire planet to put farms on.

We could create massive parks and national forests.

Actually we could probably divide the population into several mega-cities.

But, we’ve shown what the real problem is. It’s not population. It’s that some people own thousands of acres of land while others cannot even find a place to sleep at night.

When you break it down like this it’s easy to see what the real problems are. And population is not one of them.

The solution is a better design and fairness of where humans live, food is raised, and nature thrives.

Humans were created by God to protect and tend His creation. We are not supposed to be destroying it through greed. When God allowed manna to fall from heaven to feed the people He told them to only take exactly what they needed.

The greed of the rulers of this world, and the control of the demons behind the scenes has created a system where people suffer.

That suffering will be used by those same forces as an excuse to bring in solutions that will give rise to the Anti-Christ and the Beast system. Solutions that will control people and drive them from Christ.

My example of a solution is to show what the real problem is. Not population but greed, and power. It could be that humans are forced to live in mega cities in order to be more easily controlled.

I am not advocating that humans move to mega cities. I just reject the greed and the deception of the enemy, as they seek to guide the world into the Beast System. They use the Environment which they destroyed as an excuse for more power and control.

Satan cares nothing for God’s creation or human suffering.

Who really rules? Let’s talk about some conspiracy and spiritual truth for a moment. Because you must understand that there is only ONE conspiracy. And that’s the spiritual battle behind the scenes, that we all can see parts of, and have a feeling about, but cannot completely prove. The people who rule this world are…

Overcoming Anxiety And Fear

It is a demon. Cast it out. Jesus said, “Fear Not” (Matt. 10:31) He said it many times. Actually, it’s a theme throughout scripture. Fear at its most basic level, is a lack of trust in God and His promises. That is a harsh saying, especially when we are dealing with anxiety. Because, often times…

Sin vs. Love

We are set free, in order to serve.

The Bible plainly shows in Matthew 25, what Christ will ask when He returns.

He doesn’t ask, “Did you watch porn?”

He doesn’t ask “Did you have sex before marriage, or did you have an abortion”

He doesn’t ask “Did you vote right, or did you go to church or did you obey leaders and pay what you owe?”

Nope.

He asks if you visited prisoners? Did you help the poor? Did you clothe the naked? Did you give a cool drink to the thirsty? Did you love your neighbor? Did you love at all? Did you show kindness and compassion? Did you reconcile people to God? Did you use your gifts to save souls, spread the Kingdom and help others?

I can hear you squirming in your seat dying to say…”yeah…but”

No.

Jesus died for our sins and rose for our justification. If you are saved then you are in Him and are dead to sins. It is not held against you. Do the dead sin? No. Paul explains this in Romans.

That means that you have power over it. But, it also means that it is irrelevant to your eternity. You are washed. You are hid in Christ. Our focus is serving God and growing the Kingdom. Not, in worrying about whether we look like good Christians, but by being good Christians through service. (Col. 3:1-3)

You confess your sins and God forgives you, and works to help you overcome. This is foot washing. God cleanses us of all sin when we confess Him as Lord. But, we get dirty as we walk in this world. Like Jesus said, we have no need but to wash our feet. We do this by confessing our sins to Him. Likewise, when we confess our sins to each other and pray for each other, we wash each others feet. As James said. (1 John 1:1-10, John 13: 4-15, James 5:16, Rom. 10:9-10)

We are saved, and washed and hid in Christ. Our sins are gone. They are washed away. We are white as snow.

But, the things we do can open doors to the enemy to destroy us and ruin our lives. We can let demonic forces have more access to our lives. Even though we are eternally saved and forgiven. Our life in this world can be miserable because we do not confess our sins and let God work in our lives. Those sins can grow until they destroy us, if we do not let God deal with them. They can become strongholds of demonic activity in our lives. Things that can impact those around us and generations down the road.

But remember, all things work together for our good. God can use that destruction or trouble to help us. God will use it to grow us. He is not trying to hurt us but give a hope and a future. We are saved. We are in Christ, if you know Him. He chastises those He loves. The destruction or rock bottom, works to wake us up and set us free. (Romans 8: 28, Jere 29:11, Heb. 12:6)

And we still are saved forever.

God deals with our sin so we can serve the Kingdom. Knowing God and serving Him is our purpose. That’s our focus. Not our life, but His.

We are being sanctified, and through the sanctification, we endure hardness as we serve. We endure temptation and overcome through the Holy Spirit and service to the Kingdom. (2 Tim. 2:3, James 1:12)

Our willingness to have a relationship with Christ and let the Holy Spirit, love through us is what we are called to do. (Eph 2:8-10)

Our service and our love is a reflection of our relationship with God.

When you read Matthew 25. It’s obvious that the people thought they were saved. But, they never knew the King, so they never did the compassionate loving things God desired. They never grew in faith as the Lord worked in them and on them. They never had a relationship with Him. They thought their works saved them, instead of being saved to do good works. They worried about sin, like pharisees, even though they were dead to sin. Satan will get us focused on quitting sinning and being moral, because that keeps us from getting people saved, or fighting the evil in this world. (Eph 2:8-10, Matt. 7:21-23)

They never knew Him.

It’s not about works. It’s about who you know and who you have a relationship with. And that relationship will get us to serve Him, as He sanctifies us.

Let God take care of your sins. Focus on serving and loving others. Focus on the relationship with God.

And you will find that those sins you worry about, get less and less. We grow. We build faith. We build our relationship with God. We overcome the sin that so easily besets us. By following the Holy Spirit and doing the service God calls us to do. Not by works, but by His power.

Love covers a multitude of sins. God is love, and He works to drive those things out of us through Love. As we love God, serving Him and having that relationship with Him, and serving others. Loving them. (1 Peter 4:7-8)

We find ourselves growing free, to match the spiritual truth that we are already free in Christ.

The Coming Global ID

The Last Days are moving along.

We are told that the Anti-Christ will create a Mark. This mark will be used to control all buying and selling in the world. (Rev. 13)

When this prophecy was given 2000 years ago, it was probably very hard to imagine how one man could control ALL buying and selling.

But, today with computers, barcodes, AI, the internet and global corporations, it is easy to see how it can happen.

Wal-Mart stores are every where. Amazon is global. Google is global.

Google recently demanded that I prove my ID by sending them a picture of my government issued ID in order to use their ad services. Amazon KDP did the same thing. They are complying with a law that forces online sites to know the people they work with. So these two giants require ID.

I did not comply.

How long till Amazon requires ID to purchase anything? How long till Google requires ID to use any of it’s services? I guess my bank account numbers are not enough.

On top of that there is the revived effort for REAL ID.

It is a law that was passed years ago but was put on hold till recently.

REAL ID will be required for all domestic flights in the US. But, make no mistake, it will expand. That is how these things work. The oppressors in government get their foot in the door with some excuse or something small, then all their buddies in business start requiring it for banking, and everything else.

You will probably need to have a REAL ID for everything. Just expect it.

They did the same thing with the Social Security number. They promised it was not for ID purposes when it first came out. The same with Drivers Licenses. It was originally only required for Commercial Drivers.

That is how it works. They use fear to get a law passed, then get a little more and a little more.

REAL ID requires you to prove everything, beyond a regular ID.

Of course, you can refuse. But, your life will become increasingly more difficult.

Look at what happened during COVID. They required a vaccination. They fired people from jobs who did not get it. Then, they started creating a vaccine pass, and all the businesses jumped on board to require proof of vaccines before entering their business or having a job.

These are all tests and preparation for what is coming.

There will eventually be a push for ID in virtually everything because of the fear of alleged crime. Often, it’s crime caused by previous government oppression or false flag operations.

That will be the excuse.

I imagine there will be a time when we are required to get some kind of electronic global ID marker which will prove who we are online and everywhere we go. It doesn’t even have to be tied to a government at all. It could be like a Paypal, sort of system. We just upload passports or ID’s, along with phone numbers, bank accounts, addresses, medical records, background searches, and any other vital records.

Then, we are given a code and an ID card by mail.

Then, without this card nothing will work. You cannot do anything online. All websites would require your code.

You cannot go to the store. All stores would require the code, because they cannot get electronic money from the bank without giving the customer code.

You can’t own a vehicle or a home without your trusty global ID, because the banks require it.

It’s just a simple step from where we are today.

It would be easy for employers to require a global electronic ID before they hire you. The excuses would be endless.

All this comes because those in power require that you prove who you are to them, so they can punish you if you violate some rule they invented.

That’s really all identification is for. Licenses are used to control people, because if you do not obey, they can strip your license without real due process. Without any Constitutional protections.

So, with electronic money and a global ID, anyone can just file a complaint and have you turned off. They have a similar thing in China.

It’s getting closer everyday. With more mergers and control shifting to where less and less entities control everything. Less and less. Day by day.

Till finally one person has the power to control all buying and selling. As the Bible teaches.

It’s all moving into place. All they need to do is get you to accept it, and then put the mark on your right hand or forehead.

Why?

Because scary thieves could steal your ID. So, in order to prevent those bad men from robbing you. It’s better to get the mark on your skin. It’s for safety sake.

At least that’s what they will tell you. (Who is they? Those in power and the brainwashed masses controlled by demons.)

You won’t be able to buy anything or do anything without it.

It’ll be so convenient.

You could get any kind of electronic tattoo on your right hand or forehead that you want. All of it will be linked to your global account.

You’ve got all kinds of tattoos any way. Why not another one?

You can show off your new design on social media. You’ll need it to get online anyway. You can even design your own, so long as the main code is intact.

That’s what is coming.

You will not be able to buy or sell anything. You probably won’t be able to have a job or a bank account of any kind.

It will be the Mark of the Beast from Hell.

Getting the Mark, will be the final rejection of God.

Forever.

It’s all coming soon.

The Apostles and 70 A.D.

What happened?

After Jesus ascended alive into heaven the Apostles were emboldened, because they had seen Jesus die and rise from the dead. They knew He is the Messiah. They knew they could trust Him and God’s Word. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and went forth in power.

They began the work of building a ministry and spreading the Gospel as the Holy Spirit led them.

We can read about it in the Acts of The Apostles.

While they spread the Gospel, Satan raised up persecution upon them. Efforts from the religious leaders and the Roman government to stop this growing faith.

But, the apostles continued on, being beaten and killed for the Gospel’s sake.

Like Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”— John 12:24-26

The persecution of the church pushed the apostles and other believers onward to spread the Gospel more. As the enemy tries to stop them, it just builds and grows. Because, they have seen the truth. They have the Holy Spirit. They are no longer lulled into the lie that the devil feeds those in this world.

God’s Word says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” —Psa. 116:15

Because our death is a witness to those who are lost, as they seek to destroy us and stop us from spreading the Gospel. Our death shows the lost that we trust God, and are convinced of His promises. Our death brings us home to Paradise where we will be forever with Him.

The Father loves to see His children come home.

Death is separation. The Saints never die, we are never separated from the Lord.

We see prophecies of the creation of the Church and the apostles through God’s Word.

First we see the creation of the woman, in Genesis. When God causes Adam to fall into a deep sleep and removed a rib from his side and made a bride for the Man.

Likewise, Jesus died on the cross and He was pierced in the side. Out came blood and water, for the creation of the church. The Bride of Christ, born of the Blood of the Lamb and the baptism in water.

Again, we see Elijah the prophet being taken up alive into heaven, and he leaves his mantle behind to Elisha, who takes up Elijah’s position and does greater things. (1 Kings 19:19, 2 Kings Chapter 2, John 14:12)

Many use this verse of Elijah going alive into heaven as a verse to prove their doctrine of Rapture. But, it is really showing the Lord’s ascension and the Apostles being given His authority and power.

Again, The Apostles felt led to raise up a new Apostle in order to replace Judas.

They wanted to follow the prophecy in God’s Word.

“For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.”—Acts 1:20

The Apostles cast lots and chose Matthias, to fill the position. But, then we hear nothing else from Matthias.

Why?

Because God fulfilled His own prophecy and chose Saul, who became Paul the Apostle as the successor for Judas Iscariot.

As the Apostles and other Saints followed the Holy Spirit the Gospel spread and the Church grew throughout the world.

But, the prophecy of Jesus was growing as time went on.

The Lord had prophesied over the city,

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. (Matt. 23:37-39)

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”— (Matt. 24:1-2)

This prophecy from our Lord before His death, tells us the fate of Jerusalem because of their choice to kill Jesus, while choosing Barabbas, the insurrectionist and murderer. The picture of Satan. The Anti-Christ.

In 70 A.D. The Roman General Titus, who would become Emperor, attacked and destroyed Jerusalem. He destroyed the second temple and plowed the city under. Just as Jesus had prophesied.

The city where He was killed. The city that refused to turn back to the Lord, was destroyed. The city who chose the devil, and probably it was this Barabbas who helped stir up the insurrections which eventually led to the destruction of the city.

Which caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be sent to wander the Earth in what is called the Diaspora.

But, that was not the first prophecy of this event.

Notice how Jesus referred to Himself as “The Son Of Man”

Who is “Man”?

Man is Adam.

Jesus is referring to the story of Cain and Able.

He is calling Himself “Able”.

Able is a picture of Jesus.

Killed by his brethren for envy.

Then, the brother is sent to wander the Earth.

Like Cain.

Who eventually built a city of trade and learning.

Before the days of the Flood, creating a global empire.

And even today it is being built.

To prepare the world for the Anti-Christ to come, following the spirit of antichrist.

While the Apostles and saints follow the Holy Spirit to build God’s Kingdom.

It all moves quickly toward the last days, and the return of our Lord from the sky, in glory.

The battle has raged from the beginning till now, and will end soon.

The Road To Emmaus

Our hearts burned within us

After Jesus rose from the dead, He spent 40 days on the Earth before He ascended to heaven. (Acts 1)

During that time he was seen by many people. Proving that He was alive.

He appeared to the disciples several times. Helping them to understand what had happened and building their faith for the work they needed to do. (John chapter 20 and 21, Matt. 28, Mark 16,)

One of those times was when 2 disciples were walking on the road to the village of Emmaus, and a man joined them as they walked. (Luke 24)

It was Jesus.

At first they did not recognize Him. On several occasions he was not recognized by appearance but was known. A possible explanation could be that the beating He took from the Romans might have swollen or bruised his face. The other possibility is that his resurrected body was so healed and perfect that he no longer showed signs of age or any physical blemishes. He might have looked years younger.

But often when he spoke or they saw him perform some act, He became obvious to them. Like when you meet someone you have not seen in years, but when they smile or say your name, you see them for who they are.

So, Jesus walked with them and listened to them recount the activities of the last few days. The crucifixion and resurrection.

They still doubted and had fear.

But, Jesus spoke to them.

“O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?” — Luke 24:25-26

Then, beginning at the writings of Moses, which is Genesis through Deuteronomy, and all the prophets, Jesus explained to them where He appeared in the scriptures. All the allegorical pictures of Him. The allusions to the coming Messiah and the prophecies of Him.

Jesus is the central point of the Bible. Virtually everything is a picture of Him.

From the point where God says, “Let there be Light” in Genesis, we know that Jesus is the Light of the World. To where God created the woman, and it is the story of the crucifixion.

God caused Adam to go into a deep sleep (Death)

And out of his side He took a rib and fashioned a Woman to be Adam’s Bride.

Likewise, after Jesus died a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear and out flowed blood and water.

And the Church, who is the Bride of Christ, is created by the Blood of the Lamb, and the water of baptism.

It’s the same story.

We see in Genesis Chapter 3 where God makes reference to The Serpent’s head being crushed by the seed of the woman. A reference to Christ’s victory over Satan.

We can move forward to Noah, who was righteous because he believed the Word, God gave Him. He built an Ark to save as many as would believe. Just like Jesus saves us from the coming wrath if we put our faith in Him and get on board.

We see the story of the Exodus where the blood of the Lamb was painted on the door posts in order to save everyone in the house.

We see the law of Moses where the sacrifices and sanctuaries are pictures of the coming great sacrifice of Jesus, and that we are clean and hid in Him.

We can go on and on showing the hidden references to Christ throughout God’s Word.

And they were hidden in order to keep God’s plan a secret from Satan and His angels, until the day Jesus was killed and set us free.

They were mysteries from the foundation of the world, for the same reason that He spoke to them in Parables.

“He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”—Matt. 13:11-15

God has set a method for salvation.

Hear His call and turn to Him. Believing Him and confessing Him as Lord. Asking Him to save you in Jesus name. (Romans 10:9-10, Acts 2:38, Acts 2:21)

And the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth to you and grow you in Christ. Working to build your faith.

Jesus is the Door.

If anyone tries another way they are a robber and a thief. (John 10)

If Satan has deceived them with a works based doctrine, they do not really know the Lord. They have never confessed Him as Lord. They have never received grace, because they are trying to save themselves. (1 Cor. 12:3, Rom 11:6)

They are like the demons who know there is a God, but they reject Him. They do not confess Him as Lord. They are in rebellion and have never submitted to the Lord, and received grace. Those same demons work to keep us in rebellion as well. (James 2:19)

That is why the Gospel was hid and remains a difficult thing.

In order to prevent Satan and his minions in the war, and to get humans saved the proper way.

But, it is not difficult. It is the easiest thing in the world. Simply submit to the Lord. Turn to Him and confess Him as your Lord. He will do the rest.
