Because - "GOD"- Said So……..!
This recent addition to my web page is added 01-30-2006 "BECAUSE THERE IS EVEN MORE OF A BATTLE – FOR: "THE TRUTH!"
LOOK AT your 'own' AGENDA? DO YOU HOLD - THE WORD OF GOD - MORE IMPORTANT - THAN LIFE ITSELF? "IF NOT -then- WHY NOT?" And you call yourself 'Christian?'
This month – I took a trip to London England. I saw some Churches that were a 1000-years old! England was once "A Christian Nation!" Once a Nation – that believed – The WORD OF GOD – AS TRUTH!
What has happened to Them? The same thing that in now happening "IN AMERICA!" As they - Departed from The Truth: So WE here in this country ‘America’ - Are following the Same - PATHWAYS! Our Christian nation [?] take what preachers say - MORE IMPORTANT - THAN WHAT GOD SAYS! How is that SO? DO YOU BELIEVE GOD -or- Your Preacher?
More people attend Mosques in England – than Attend Christian Churches! And – WE – here in America – are not – Far Behind THEM!
The week I was there in London England: their Courts overturned - a parental notification for the abortion of a baby of a 13-year old girl! The Parents lost their right for the health care of their child! What is next? That same week: there was a Massive Effort - 'to save a whale' - that swam up the Thames! "Kill the Baby - and Save the Whale?" By the way, the whale - died! SURELY: GOD made a statement - TO SHOW US WHAT -WE- REALLY - HOLD IMPORTANT?
What does that tell you about that country! REMEMBER the 1611 Kings James ENGLISH Bible came from there! The common man – who could not read Greek or Hebrew or Latin –Then had the WORD in English and believed – The WORDS OF GOD!
I had an opportunity "To Preach – at Speakers Corner – Hyde Park!" There were about 10 men and women there to share The WORD OF GOD! Do you know, that there were ALSO ‘six-men’ there out of a crowd of over 200 – whose mission it was to GO AND MOCK ANYONE - WHO WAS PREACHING REPENTANCE AND CHRIST JESUS! YES, Openly Mocking God and His Word! Here in America, we do it on Bart Simpson or ‘on late night TV!’
I asked the Crowd? "Do you want –PROOF OF GOD?" The answer was – "Yes!" I told them – Here is the Proof! "IF GOD - WERE NOT REAL – WHY WOULD THESE MEN – MOCK GOD – AND SAY – HE DOESN’T EXIST? And that His Word – The Bible –was a Fairy Story!
DO YOU - Know anyone – who would counterfeit – A Three-POUND Note – Do YOU? Of course not – because a three-POUND-note – Does Not Exist! ONE ONLY MOCKS – THE REAL – NOT THE COUNTERFEIT!
In a recent American Evangelical Survey [2005] – less than – 35% OF THE PREACHERS SURVEYED – BELIEVED IN THE COMPLETE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD OF GOD – FOR THOSE CALLED "CHRISTIANS?" Where does that leave the people if the preachers – don’t believe GOD AND HIS WORD?
You see, "GOD’S WORD – Defines Adultery – Lust – Stealing – Lying – and the Like Sins! Neither the preacher - nor the church can do that – ONLY GOD CAN! BUT IF THEY PREACH THE WORD - THEN – THEY WILL – BE OUT OF BUSINESS –or-People will Really Obey CHRIST AND HIS WORD! And Churches – here in America – have become "Big Business!" That is why you don’t hear preachers – TELL THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD – ABOUT – SIN!
Because - "GOD"- Said So……..!
What is TRUTH? Only GOD can Define "THE TRUTH" and it is found only in His WORD!
Mankind will always provide some sort of ‘positional truth’ – But it IS NOT TRUTH! It is something Fabricated to protect ‘his or her little kingdom – called "SELF!" The LIES always make one "look good to themselves and others!
"IF"- You ‘do not believe that "The Holy Scriptures" – "The WORD of GOD" - IS THE ONLY TRUTH FOR MANKIND – THEN YOU "ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN!" No matter what you say or do!No matter ‘what church you attend!’ No matter what you think! ONLY – GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH!
Will "YOU – Argue with GOD – AND HIS WORD? Will you Justify Your Actions and Practices and call them good – when GOD CALLS THEM – EVIL?
(Revelation 19:11-to-16) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and HE that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness HE doth judge and make war. (Rev 19:12) HIS eyes were as a flame of fire, and on HIS head were many crowns; and HE had a name written, that no man knew, but HE himself. (Rev 19:13) And HE was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and HIS Name is called –THE WORD OF GOD. (Rev 19:14) And the armies, which were in heaven, followed HIM upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Rev 19:15) And out of HIS mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it HE should smite the nations: and HE shall rule them with a rod of iron: and HE treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (Rev 19:16) And HE hath on HIS vesture and on HIS thigh A Name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.Because - "GOD"- Said So……..!
(Luke 16:15) And HE [JESUS] said unto them, YOU are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men Is Abomination in the sight of God.
(Luke 16:16) The Law and the Prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (Luke 16:17) And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, THAN ONE TITLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL.Because - "GOD"- Said So……..!
Because - "GOD"- Said So……..!
(2Timothy 4:1-to-4) I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, WHO shall judge the quick and the dead at HIS appearing and HIS kingdom; (2Tim 4:2) Preach The WORD; be instant in season, out of season; Reprove, Rebuke, Exhort - with ALL longsuffering and Doctrine. (2Tim 4:3) For the time will come when they will not endure Sound Doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; (2Tim 4:4) And they shall turn away their ears from The TRUTH, - and shall be turned unto fables. (Luke 18:7-8) And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though he bear long with them? (Luke 18:8) I tell you that HE will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall HE find faith on the earth? [Real BIBLICAL Faith?](Jude 1:3-4) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of The Common Salvation, it was needful for me to WRITE unto you, and EXHORT you - that you SHOULD EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith, - which was once delivered unto the saints.
Because - "GOD"- Said So……..!
(Proverbs 28:4-5-6) They that FORSAKE The LAW praise the wicked: but such as KEEP The LAW – CONTEND WITH THEM.
(Pro 28:5) Evil men understand not judgment: - but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
(Pro 28:6) Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
(Jeremiah 23:29-to-32) Is not MY WORD like as a Fire? Saith the LORD; and like a Hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? (Jer 23:30) Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal –MY WORDS- every one from his neighbour. (Jer 23:31) Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. (Jer 23:32) Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their LIES, and by their Lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.(Isaiah 5:25) Therefore is the Anger of The LORD kindled against his people, and HE hath stretched forth HIS hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this HIS Anger is not turned away, but HIS hand is stretched out still. [In HIS Mercy - to those who would Repent of their SIN!]
(Proverbs 28:13)
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. [Will you REPENT - of your Actions - against the WORD OF GOD?](Ezekiel 2:7) And You shall speak -"MY WORDS"- unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
(Numbers 23:19)
God is not a man,
that He should Lie; neither the Son of man, that He should repent:
has He
said, and shall He not do it?
Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?
Why? Because:
GOD Said SO.......!
In MEMORY of Terri Schindler-Schiavo: Protest on Saturday March 26:2005
Adolph Hitler in his 'Final Solution' coined the term, - "Those Not Worthy of Life!" Soon you too: Who Believe God's Word May......."Not be worthy of life?" Because of the Growing Hate for God's WORD!
"First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist:
so I did not speak out;
Then they came for Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of
them: so I did not speak out;
Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish: so I did not speak out.
And When they came for me:
And now a Judge, from the 6th Circuit Court, Pinellas County Florida has decided "that Terri is not worthy of life either". This Judge as well as many others have taken 'Judicial License and Tyranny' and gone against "That which is right in the Eyes of the Lord!" Judge Greer says he is "A Christian?" and had to leave his church over this issue? Has he left his Faith in God also? He has not taken a stand with God and His Word?
Recently in another case: "A Female Pinellas County Judge" has Ruled
(Luke 6:26)
IF We do not speak out for God and His Word: Who will speak out for US?
BUT- the People Said: [Some of whom - Called themselves Christian?]
(Exodus 20:19) And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let NOT God speak with us, lest we die. [You Will Surely Die - IF YOU DON'T HEAR AND OBEY GOD!]
(Genesis 3:1) Now the serpent [Satan] was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God [Really] said, Ye shall Not..... eat of every tree of the garden? [The preachers now SAY - Has God Really Said......?]
But Jesus said........."It
is Written...Matt 4:4 & Luke 4:4!" (John 12:48-49-50) He that rejecteth Me [Jesus],
and receiveth not My Words, hath One that judgeth him: The Word that I
[Jesus] have spoken, the same [Word] shall judge him in the last day. (John
12:49) For I have not spoken of Myself; but [GOD] The Father which sent Me
[Jesus], He [God] gave Me [Jesus] A Commandment, what I should say,
and what I
should Speak. (John 12:50) And I [Jesus] know that His [God's]
Commandment is
life everlasting: Whatsoever I speak therefore, even as [God]
The Father said
unto Me [Jesus], so I speak. [unto You - My Word!]

This Web Page, will be updated Chronically as the need becomes available. Please pray for the Salvation of ALL those lost to: 'the World, the Flesh and the Devil', and for 'A Real Holy Spirit Revival - in this Laodicean Age of the Church of Jesus Christ and 'those that Call the Name of Christ, BUT do not 'Obey His Word!'
(Revelation 3:15-16) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. (Rev 3:16) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will VOMIT thee out of My mouth.
(Exodus 20:19) And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. [You will surely Die - IF YOU DON'T HEAR and OBEY GOD!]
***** "WHY 'This' Web Page?"*****
I post this section on this page tonight, Saturday October 30, 2004, anticipating that God 'May either give us more of His Grace - or - Choose to Chasten our Nation With Senator Kerry?" Our religious nation parallels the nation Israel in the OT disobeyed God and His Word, "OVER AND OVER AGAIN!" Will our nation be chastened in the fulfillment of 1Peter 4:17-18, will it come to pass now instead of later? The duplicity of the Christian Church, is especially as we are like those of the 'Church of Laodiceans'. Has the Church of today, has become 'Lupe Warm' Rev 3:14-22, as it is written? Are they a bold witness in the home, in the workplace and in the communities of this Land of America? I do not think so! Do they allow evil to continue and only vote - when they 'fear man more than they Fear God?' But what if George Bush is Re-Elected? Will the Church be lulled into the complicity that it had 8 years ago, when Bill Clinton was elected, "Because the Church left its responsibility of Citizenship and became complacent?" Will those judges that continue to practice "Judicial Tyranny" still be in office, and continue 'To Negate the Judeo-Christian Morality' that this nation was founded on? Will the Church trust the President - instead of Trusting Christ and His Word - for deliverance ? Is the Church today "like that of the Moral Majority twenty years ago? If they are - how did things get so bad? Are Christians looking for "Renewal of our Nations Heritage" - OR - "Real Holy Spirit Revival?" Are they looking for Christ to Restore our Nation to it Christian Heritage? Can society and its laws, "Take the place of the Word of God - in the lives of each and every one of us? Perhaps you should read Galatians 3:1-3 and "Especially ISAIAH 29:13?" Did the law ever make anything right? Do you really think that we can - in this nation - return to those Christian Roots that founded this nation? Did ISRAEL - ever return to "Their Roots in the Word of God?" No they certainly did not! They simply fulfilled Judges 21:25! OR - Are they looking for that Holy Spirit REVIVAL - Of the time of "Jonathan Edwards" There was a 'real turning' of America in 1736, and "Sinners were converted" and there was 'Not Restoration' - But REVIVAL!" Perhaps you care to see one of the many sites that have information about The Restoration that was brought about during the ministry of the Holy Spirit through Jonathan Edwards? What happened after "9-11?" Did our nation turn to God? Most churches were filled for a few weeks, but did the people, "Really seek God and what His Word said?" Did they obey by following the Scriptures according to James 1:22? They did not! Was our land healed? It was not! Did our nation turn to the righteousness of God and His Word? They did not! We now, 'a nation under God' - now live in fear of terrorism' - Without the Proper Fear of God, [See Acts 5:11](2Chronicles 7:14) If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
(John 15:22) If I [Jesus] had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
(John 9:41) Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
(Deuteronomy 30:19-20) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deut 30:20) That You may love the LORD your God, and that you may Obey His voice, and that you may cleave unto Him: for He is thy life, and the length of thy days: that you may dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
(John 8:47) He that is of God heareth God's Words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.
(John 14:23-24) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (John 14:24) He that loveth Me not, keepeth not my sayings: and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me.
(1John 4:6) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he [she] that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error. [Satan always uses Lies!]
*
(Isaiah 29:13) Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the precept of men: [Man's law and judgment has never brought about God's right way? No, NEVER!]*(Judges 21:25) In those days [here again today] there was no king in Israel: every man [and woman] did that which was right in his [her] own eyes. [Spiritual LICENSE and Spiritual DUPLICITY!]
Say it isn’t so? Recently an 'alarming statistic' was revealed! "There are more Divorces among those that claim Jesus Christ as Lord, than among Un-Believers!" What does that say about our relationship with God? We have replaced, "God’s Word" with ‘Man’s Law.’ Man’s law has Now become 'Our-point of reference'; Not the Word of God! [How many Pastors have told their people what God has really said? Very FEW!] [See Isaiah 24:2]
*(Malachi 2:16,17) For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that He Hates Divorce: for one covers Sin with his [her] Actions, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that you deal not treacherously. (Mal 2:17) You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, Wherein have we wearied Him? When you say, Every one that does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and He delights in them; or, Where is the God of judgment? [Were your Wedding Vows LIES? See Deut 23:21; 1Thes 4:6-8]
How about LIES? We have been buried in a society that takes Pleasure in Lies! From a former President, to Heads of investment corporations, Personal Integrity and Billions of dollars are lost every year 'through Lies', and yet We, ‘take it as a grain of salt.’
*(Proverbs 12:22) Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are His delight. [Perhaps you should read, John 8:44 and see what Jesus Says?]
Yet you say, "We are not that bad?" Besides, Who wants to hear something negative? Yet knowing ‘What is Truth and what are Lies’ can bring us back To God and His Word!
*(Exodus 20:13-16) You shalt not Murder. (Exo 20:14) You shalt not Commit Adultery. (Exo 20:15) You shalt not Steal. (Exo 20:16) You shalt not Bear False Witness against your neighbor. Need I go on? Say it isn't so? [See James 4:4 & TEST] What about the 30,000,000: Yes 30 Million Babies that have been murdered by Abortion, all in the name of What? Our LICENSE? Our wants? Our What? Does the blood of those Murdered babies cry out against US?; "As One Nation [Not] under God? *(Genesis 4:10) And He [God] said, What have you done? The voice of thy brother's blood cries unto Me from the ground. [the blood of those babies; cries out against us and out Nation] (We are now a Nation Living-in-fear-of-Terror, since 9-11!) *(Amos 4:10) I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: Yet you have not returned unto Me, says the LORD. [See Acts 17:30, Luke 13:5] ***This 'BATTLE' is taking place in the Hearts, Minds and Souls of Mankind! Yet Our Ears have become Deaf, and our Hearts have become Hard, Against the ‘Word of God!’*** Say is isn't SO? Has God said...? OR "It is Written...Matt 4:4"I simply ask you to 'take the Time, and the Effort', to either save these pages to a folder, or print them out on paper. Take your Bible, and ALLOW the Holy Spirit to ‘Speak to your heart - Through the Word of God!’ Allow your heart to, ‘Once again be refreshed by the Word of God!’ Will You? [Is JESUS CHRIST your LORD? i.e. BOSS?]
Take the Truth Test? The Word of God is True! [John 17:17], and All else "Are Mere Opinions and Lies!" Yet whose opinion really counts? Yours or God’s? Our Nation Has Replaced God's Word with its own philosophy! Say it isn't so? Has God said.....?
*(Isaiah 1:18) Come now, and "let us reason together", saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. [See Luke 6:46,Isaiah 55:6-9]
*(John 4:23-24) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the "True Worshipers' shall worship the Father "in Spirit and in Truth": for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. [Is your Worship Pure? See Matt 5:23,24] (John 4:24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must "Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth". [Do You Worship or do you just play Church?] PRAYER: Father God, I ask that You alone would Bless the Hearing and the Reading and the Study of Your Word, by Your people! Father, I ask You; that You would bring about a Real Holy Spirit Revival in the Hearts of Your People; this very day, for Your Glory. Father I also ask that You would Rebuke those 'Demonic Forces' that have taken Your people's hearts 'By their disobedience to You and Your Word'; Father that You would give them Repentance [2Tim 2:25-26], and that You would restore fellowship of Your people with You; in Jesus Name we ask, and agree with Your Word, [Matt 18:19].Amen!

*(Amos 8:11) See, the days are coming, [and are now here] says the Lord God, when "I" will send 'times of great need' [Famine] on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for the hearing of " The Words of the Lord!"

[See Hebrews 4:12,13, Jeremiah 23:29-32] *(John 4:23) Jesus said: But the hour is coming, and now is, when the 'True Worshipers' [not only with the mouth, but with a pure heart and actions also, see LUKE 18:9-9] shall Worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, for the Father seeks such as [you] to worship Him. (Can Worship be wrong? See Mark 7:5-9)
*(Leviticus 10:1,2) And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, [S0ns of the High Priest of God; i.e. Pastors?] each took his censer and put fire in it, and put incense in it, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, [The Lord] which He had not commanded them. [They had the instruction of the Word of God, but wanted to 'worship their own (Wrong) way!'] (Lev 10:2) And there went out fire from [the alter of the tabernacle] Jehovah and devoured them [burnt them up!], and they died before Jehovah.
