Saturday, July 4,
2015, 4:46 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song, “My Jesus, My Savior.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Titus 2 (selected vv. NASB).
If You Follow
If you follow world (and national) news at all, you have to
be aware that the world is being turned upside down right now with so many
disturbances, riots, uprisings, mass murders, political unrests, coups, rebellions,
revolts, bombings, racial tensions, factions, false flag operations, deceptions,
and manipulations of truth and abuses of power, etc. If you follow the news
with a keen eye and ear, and with much spiritual and/or natural discernment, i.e.
with much good common sense and a logical mind, you have to also be cognizant
that there are a lot of things going on in the world, and in the USA, that just
don’t add up, and that can leave people with more questions than answers. As
well, you will most especially be attentive to the repeated patterns which are occurring
in so many of these various news stories, whether within the USA or within the
world, as a whole. And, then you have to ask yourself the hard questions, “Where
is this all coming from?” and “What is really going on?”
If you are one who has really been paying attention, you
must know by now that most things are not what they appear to be. In other
words, you cannot trust the words coming out the mouths of your government
leaders or trust the words coming out of the mouths and pens of the news media,
for there are many deceptions. Worse than that, though, is that we cannot trust
the words coming out of the mouths of many of our church leaders, either,
because so many of them today have bought into lies and deceptions, and the
twisting of truth, and have aligned themselves with humanistic philosophy, and are
utilizing human marketing schemes, etc., to grow their “churches,” even at the
cost of truth and the dilution of the gospel, and at the cost of persecuting
and discarding fellow believers who hold to the truths of scripture, and hold to
the gospel according to Jesus and the apostles.
So, why is all this happening? Well, Jesus Christ and the
prophets of the Old and New Testaments forewarned us about these days (See:
Matt 24, for example). We were told specifically the kinds of things which will
take place, and that we should know the signs of these times when they appear,
so that these events do not overtake us like a thief in the night (See Matt
24:32-33; 1 Thess. 5:1-8). One of the signs of these times is that a revolt
must occur, both in the world and in the gatherings of the church (See 1 Tim.
4:1-2; 2 Thess. 2:3). This revolt is a “departure (implying desertion);
apostasy – literally, ‘a leaving, from a previous standing’"
(biblehub.com). We are seeing these things take place right now.
Yet, if we also pay attention to scripture, and what it
teaches, we have to realize who is behind all of this – Satan, but not just
Satan, but a beast (a conglomeration of world leaders, bankers, CEOs, and the
Elite, etc.), forcing a one-world government on the people of the world, and a
false prophet (perhaps synonymous with the two-horned beast out of the earth
from Revelation 13), representing, promoting and pushing (forcing) a one world
religion. Yet, we must also know that none of this could happen unless God
planned it this way, or he allowed it to happen, and for a very specific
purpose. All throughout Biblical history God has used evil kings and kingdoms
as his divine instruments of judgment on people, most especially against his
rebellious, idolatrous and spiritually adulterous people. I believe that is
where we are again. We have to realize, too, that these types of things don’t
just happen overnight. They take years of planning and of implementation, so
even if the seven years of tribulation have not yet begun, we are experiencing
the labor pains of the birthing of this Global Governance and One-World
religion right now, in our world today.
For Sound Doctrine
(v. 1)
But
as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.
One of the ways in which this is taking place within the USA
and the world today is via an increase in pressure being placed on people’s
minds (thinking/believing) in order to influence or force them into conforming
to the New World Order “Beast” and one-world religion. Much of this is being
done via lies and deceptions, and that is why we must be on our knees in
prayer, in God’s word, and seeking God’s face for wisdom and discernment to
know what is really going on, so that we don’t get caught in the devil’s trap
and end up believing lies or compromising truth. There are spies and false
sheep and shepherds everywhere trying to get Christians, in particular, to turn
a different direction, and to buy into a social gospel, and to reject the “narrow
road” preaching of the gospel in favor of a “broad road” path to heaven or to
eternal bliss. They are all part of Satan’s plot to damage, defeat, dismantle,
and obliterate the true gospel message and true followers of Jesus Christ, i.e.
they are all part of the N.W.O.’s “Communication, Command and Control Unit.”
The one-world religion is pantheon (of all gods). Have you
ever paid attention to all the buildings, statues and national symbols in the
US government and in Washington, D.C.? The Washington monument is an obelisk. The
obelisk symbolized the Egyptian sun god Ra (or Baal), who was considered the
creator god, who they say created man. Baal (or Ra) supposedly had a son named
Tammuz (or Horus), who was the son of the sun god. His mother was Ishtar (or
Isis), the queen of heaven. The Statue of Liberty was patterned after ISIS (or
Ishtar), the goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt. The Jefferson
memorial is patterned after a pantheon, meaning “of all gods.” Our great seal in
the USA has an image of an unfinished pyramid with an all-seeing eye overtop, which
is the eye of Horus (son of the sun god), and which is also the capstone not
yet in place on the pyramid, which also symbolizes this New World Order “Beast,”
which is also not yet completely over all just yet. The Lincoln memorial was
patterned after the temple of Zeus, who was the Greek god of sky and thunder,
as well as he was considered the Father of all other gods.
Ok, so what is the irony in all of that? Supposedly the USA
was built on Christian principles and has been believed to be a Christian
nation for many generations. After all, so many of our symbols seem to indicate
that we trust in the One and Only God, creator of all things which were created
– Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The church (institutional) invited the US
government into partnership with her via the 501c3, and the institutional
church flies the US flag at the front of its meeting places, and instructs its
followers to pledge allegiance to this flag and the republic for which it
stands, which was founded on what? - On a pantheon and syncretistic belief
system, not on a belief in the One and Only true God. “Syncretism is the
combining of different, often contradictory beliefs” (Wikipedia). Not only
that, but it promotes a false God (Father), a false Christ, and a false
trinity, i.e. it is of Satan, and it is of this beast and false prophet
prophesied in scripture, which is this false trinity. And, yet so many
Christians fly their flags and pledge their allegiance to this Satanic, occult
and pantheon government with pride, and believe whatever they tell us. We need
to wake up!
This New World Order is suddenly increasing the pressure on
the people, governments and church in the world and in the USA to conform,
compromise and to submit to this “beast.” This is what most of these news
stories of riots, bombs, mass murders, etc. are about. They are trying to pressure
(or force) us to buy into this pantheon one-world religion. The US government
is the world’s worst hypocritical and dictatorial regime. This is why we must,
especially now, speak of things which are fitting for sound doctrine, because
so many are trying to lead Christians away to false beliefs and to spiritual
compromise, and to following the flesh over following the Spirit, which is why
we need to know what sound doctrine is so that we can refute these lies with
the truth, so we don’t fall prey to Satan’s deceptions.
The Grace of God
(vv. 11-15)
For
the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to
deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and
godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the
glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to
redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His
own possession, zealous for good deeds.
These
things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard
you.
So, what is sound doctrine? We can read about it right here.
God’s grace to us is not free license to continue in a lifestyle of sin without
guilt or remorse. It is not just an escape from hell and the promise of heaven
when we die. Jesus Christ died that we might die to sin and live to
righteousness (1 Pet. 2:24). Jesus died that we might no longer live for ourselves,
but for him who gave himself up for us (2 Co. 5:15). Jesus died so that the
righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us who no longer
conduct our lives according to the flesh, but who walk according to the Spirit
(Ro. 8:1-14). He died that we might forsake our former lives of living for sin
and self, that we might be transformed in heart and mind of the Spirit of God,
and so we might be given new lives in Christ, “created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness” (Eph. 4:17-24; cf. Ro. 6-8; Gal. 2:20; Lu.
9:23-25). If we say we have fellowship with God but we continue to conduct our
lives in darkness (in sin), we are liars (1 Jn. 1:5-9). If we live our lives
according to the flesh, we will die, but if by the Spirit we put to death the
deeds of the body (of the flesh), we will live (Ro. 8:13).
God’s grace teaches us to say “NO” to ungodliness and
worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives while we
wait for Christ’s return. Yet, so many people today, and not just preachers,
but these spies and false sheep and shepherds who are everywhere (in the
institutional church, on the internet, etc.), are teaching a false grace absent
of the cross of Christ in our lives. They are teaching a “soft” gospel which
lacks backbone and which is easily pliable to human ways, is worldly, is not
firm in the faith as taught by Christ and his apostles, is neither hot nor
cold, and demands nothing of us – no repentance, no obedience, no submission
and no surrender to God. And, it attacks those who are walking the “straight
and narrow” by accusing us of being too religious, judgmental, disunifiers,
narrow-minded, bigots, hate-mongers, and extremists. They want us to be more
pliable, and to be less firm in our beliefs, and to compromise, and to blend in
with the rest of the world, and to join in with this all-inclusive religion,
which is why they are increasing the pressure on us right now to conform and to
compromise.
We don’t all have the authority of a man called of God over
the people in a spiritual capacity, especially if we happen to be female, but
as the chosen of God, and a royal priesthood, we have the authority of
scripture on which we can take our stand and by which we can speak, and we
should stand strong and not bow to pressure to compromise. We are God’s
possession, bought with the blood of Jesus, shed on the cross for our sins. We
should follow our Lord Jesus Christ in absolute surrender and devotion, and
call on him in truth, and listen to his voice speaking to our hearts, and obey
him, and not bend to human pressure to back down on what we know is the truth
about Christ and his gospel. By the grace of God, and in his strength within
me, I will not yield to such pressure.
