2013, 6:00 a.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me with this song:
Jesus, Lead Me / An Original
Work / July 22, 2011
Jesus, lead me
all the way.
Be my hope and
be my stay.
Gently lead me
where I should go,
So Your Spirit,
I want to know.
Open up my
heart to You.
Fill me with
Your love and truth.
Make my heart
want to obey.
Be my Lord
today. Gently lead always.
Jesus, lover of
my soul,
Cleanse my
heart, and make me whole;
Be transformed
in my heart today,
As I turn from
my sin and pray.
Make Your will
known to my heart.
May I not from
You depart.
How I long to
hear You now,
As I humbly
bow. Jesus, hear me now.
Speak,
Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Jude 1 (NIV).
The Ungodly
Dear friends,
although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt
compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all
entrusted to God’s holy people. For certain individuals whose condemnation was
written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly
people, who pervert the grace of our God
into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and
Lord.
Though you
already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered
his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. And the
angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper
dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for
judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the
surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They
serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
In the very
same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their
own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. But even the
archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of
Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord
rebuke you!” Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the
very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will
destroy them.
Woe to them!
They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s
error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
These people
are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest
qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown
along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. They
are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom
blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
Enoch, the
seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with
thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all
of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and
of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” These people
are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast
about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
But, dear
friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They
said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their
own ungodly desires.” These are the people who divide you, who follow mere
natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
The
Lord Jesus continues to give me a picture of these “ungodly people,” who
pervert the grace of God into a license for immorality and/or who deny Jesus
Christ our only Sovereign and Lord, on two fronts: 1) Political/World and 2)
Spiritual/Religious.
On
a political and world front, the Lord Jesus continues to show me the lies,
corruption, greed, deceptions, and the killings (murders) of innocents, of followers
of Christ, and of political opponents to the “International Community,” i.e. to
the New World Order (USA and their allies). Our government leaders here in the
US (the Obama administration and at least some of Congress, if not the whole of
Congress) plus their political allies in the UN, in particular in the UN
Security Council, termed the “International Community,” have been involved in
political espionage and the conquering of the nations of the world for some
time now. And, they use multiple means of conquering in their takeover of other
nations, some of which are false flag operations and/or creating false scenarios
and stories of what is going on in other nations, via the media, so that they
can have an excuse to go into other nations, or our own, in order to take them
over, such as may be presently happening with N. Korea, and is definitely happening
in Syria and the Ukraine; and is beginning to happen within the USA, and has
happened in many other nations throughout the world in recent years.
For
instance, the “terrifying situation” inside Syria is not what is being reported
in the government-controlled media. Our government and their global allies are
standing in direct opposition to the independent rule of Syria, as a nation,
and the whole purpose of what is going on inside this nation is for the N.W.O.
to consume this nation and to incorporate it into the New World Order (Beast). These
evil ones (of the Beast and of Satan) are also inside this nation in pursuit of
true followers of Jesus Christ, either to persuade them to change loyalties or
else to destroy them. People are being displaced because they are fleeing for
their lives to try to avoid persecution or death for non-compliance with the New
World Order Beast.
The
N.W.O. produces the crisis in these nations, including now within the US, so
that they can go into these nations with political solutions, i.e. to take them
over. If people want to survive these onslaughts, they must submit/bow to the
beast (N.W.O.). The international solidarity being called for is submission to
the beast or lose your life or the lives of those you love. I see a similar
scenario unfolding inside N. Korea, and I see our government leaders, in particular
John Kerry, accusing N. Korea’s leadership of doing exactly what our government
leaders and their allies are doing around the globe. The New World Order Beast must
conquer all the nations of the world if it is to rule the world as described in
Revelation 13, so it must also come against N. Korea, and the US, and every
other independent nation in the world which is not presently fully incorporated
into the New World Order Beast.
On a Spiritual
Front
I
believe with all my heart that believers in Jesus Christ across the globe,
especially those who hold fast to the testimony of Jesus and who continue to
share the gospel of Jesus Christ, are under severe attack from the enemy
presently, both physically and mentally or emotionally and spiritually. That is
nothing new. Yet, the onslaught has severely increased, and I believe the enemy
(Satan) is utilizing the US government and their allies (the N.W.O.) to be his “police
force” in coming against the saints of God, in persecuting them, and in putting
many of them to death. The Lord Jesus keeps showing this to me nation after
nation after nation, mostly in these scenarios of political uprisings, but also
in these situations of man-made “natural” disasters and severe storms, which are
also used in the conquering of nations. This is the true “terrifying situation”
presently happening across the globe. Yet, I believe the persecuted church will
be and is strengthened of God through this, and is even more determined to keep
following Jesus Christ and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ so many can be
saved, so that is good news.
Yet,
there is another way in which Satan and his human cohorts are presently coming
against those of us who hold fast to the testimony of Jesus, who do not deny
his name, and who continue to spread the preaching of the gospel of Jesus
Christ to the regions beyond, or is coming against the gospel itself or against
the church as a whole. The means here is also via lies and deception and greed,
and it comes in the form of false teaching and a false grace which does not
teach death to sin and walking in the Spirit of God in his strength and power
within us. It also comes in the form of false philosophy and humanistic
thinking and reasoning which have infiltrated the church, and in the form of
humanistic marketing schemes and the use of worldly means and methods in order
to reach worldly people, but for what? It convinces many that they can play
with sensuality and immorality while still maintaining their Christian witness
and that God is ok with that. Those who promote this false teaching and false
gospel do often fit within the description found here in Jude. They don’t have
a conscience at all about what they are doing or the fact that they are leading
many people straight to hell via their lies and false hope. And, they will even
aggressively attack the characters and witness of God’s people in order to
destroy the message.
Contend for the
Faith
But you, dear
friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the
Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our
Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Be merciful to
those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show
mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
To him who is
able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence
without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty,
power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and
forevermore! Amen.
Living Water / An
Original Work / November 21, 2013
Based off Various Scriptures
My people have
forsaken Me,
Their Savior, who died
on a tree;
Made idols, and they
worshipped them;
So empty, they will
ne’er fulfill.
Lord, You are the hope
of Your chosen ones.
Those who turn away
from You will be shamed;
The Spring of Living
Water left behind.
Living Water
satisfies.
The thirsty, let them
come and drink;
Believe in Jesus as
their King;
The gift of Jesus
given them,
So they will never
thirst again.
Indeed, the Living
Water flows within.
It springs up like a
fountain cleansing sin.
Eternal life in heaven
promised them.
Living Water
glorifies.
Oh people, won’t you
come to Him?
Obey Him and repent of
sin.
Let Jesus come and
live within.
Surrender all your
life to Him.
My people, won’t you
turn your hearts to Me?
Forsake your idols and
then you’ll be free.
Won’t you come now to
Me on bended knee?
Living Water
sanctifies.
