Do flies and lies rhyme for a reason, ha, but no I won’t be weird throughout the whole message. 

So, in working on this message, meaning as I got nearer to the end I came back to the beginning and thought I would share some incites so that you can be looking for the purpose and intention of this manage for these end times. I saw that it was taking an interesting turn. My focus was going to be strictly on the topic of lies and I think I covered or uncovered them for what there intended purposes are and will be, but I noticed a parallel message in this process, which is that there seems to be also an emphasis on waking out of your self-imposed stupor. And well if you are not stooped that doesn’t mean God will neglect what you need from this message. I believe God is pleading for your very soul, and for the very souls of those in whom you know who are heading for a dreadfully awful place of which there are no second chances for escape. We cannot save anybody after they go to hell. 

Preaching the gospel in power, and sometimes prefaced with advanced prayer is the only thing that will wake up the sleeping Christians and the fake-believers, make-believers, non-believers, and those stuck in the valley of indecision. 

1 Cor 2:4-5 - 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

If you don’t know the God of power then you are preaching with no power if you are indeed preaching at all.

We as authentically born-again believers will be held in account for the ministry God has given to each of His disciples. So, I thought I would wrap around topside and include this paragraph at the beginning of the message so that you understand it has a parallel message and does not let no one off the hook. That little symbolism will come to light as we move on. 

One last thing before we get started is that I expect, in love, that you will look up any referenced scriptures; not necessarily the ones I include in their entirety, but those just referenced so that you understand the message more comprehensively. And to support this position I leave you with some scriptures to look up that will help (Matt 13:19, Luke 8:12, Pro 2:1-6, Ps 119:130, 2 Tim 2:15, Deut 4:1-10, and Matt 4:4). Keep in mind that some of the scriptures provided are preventative and others are supportive of the theme of what was just stated.

SPEAKER_00

Hello, this is Kenya Podcast Preacher. Welcome back to my podcast, Deep Waters. This podcast is brought to you by Applied Strengths Ministry, where we believe working together on our strengths is the effect of working out the will and calling of God and into our lives. Thanks for joining me. Let's open up in prayer. Blessed be the God and Father of your Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as he chose you and him before the foundation of the world, that you should be holy and without blame before him in love, having predestined you to adopt him as a son or daughter of Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, which he purposed in himself, to the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made you accepted in the beloved. In him ye have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace which he made to abound towards you in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to you the mystery of his will, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, you might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth in him. I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, and the knowledge of the mystery of him, to the deepest knowledge of him that you are willing and able to receive, that the eyes of your understanding would be open wider and wider, and that you would be enlightened to who he is, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in you? What is the exceeding greatness of his power towards you who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which you worked in Christ when you raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, that he would grant that you would be strengthened with might through his Holy Spirit in the inner man, and into your spirit and heart, and that you would be able to stand against your flesh, this world, and the devil in and through any and all temptations. I pray that your love may abound more and more in all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ of the glory and praise of God. I ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will and all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work, strengthen with all might, according to his glorious power, in all patience and long-suffering with joy, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints who walk in the light. I pray that your hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love and unity, that you would attain to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which I've given to each of my listeners by Christ Jesus, that you are enriched in everything by Him, in all utterance and all knowledge, so that you do not come short in obtaining or operating in your calling and purpose, nor in using any spiritual gifts or talents, eagerly waiting for the continued revelation of our Lord Jesus, who will confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the near coming day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son Jesus. Okay, so now therefore, my sisters and brothers in Christ, when things get tough, think about whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and whatever things are of a good report. If there is any virtue, and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things alone. I pray that in these very days that you would let your love be without hypocrisy, hate and loath what is evil, cling to what is good and righteous, be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, and honor, giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent and fully engulfed in spiritual fire, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, walking in the peace of God, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, that is each other, and that you would be given the hospitality. May the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like minded towards one another. According to Christ Jesus, that we learn to be of one mind, in one accord, operating completely and fully in love and unity, always striving for the working out of God's specific will for each of our lives, while working in partnership with each other within the church and the Holy Spirit, as he manifests his miracle signs and wonders through the daily activities of our ministry and kingdom work. And while we also go out preaching the gospel in word and deed, let us love and serve one another, our enemy, and those who wouldn't expect us to do so, considering each person better than ourselves. Bind up any words or thoughts that are contrary to the love of God, or which would set you back in your Christian walk. Ah, step out in faith today and walk with God, being assured that nothing will separate you from Him as long as you abide in Him. Call those things that don't exist as though they do. Remember he that is in you is greater than He that is in the world. Be more than a conqueror today, submitting to the will of God and everything. Let each of us express uncompromising love towards one another in humility while maintaining a teachable spirit. I pray that God will give you the revelation within this message that He intends you to receive with the understanding. Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. Jesus' name we pray amen. The title of this message is The Prettiness of Deception and the Cost of Believing Lies. Do flies and lies rhyme for a reason? He but no, I won't be weird throughout the whole message. So when working on this message, meaning as I got nearer to the end, I came back to the beginning and thought I would share some insights so that you can be looking for the purpose and intention of the message for these end times. I saw that it was taking an interesting turn. My focus was going to be strictly on the topic of lies, and I think I covered or uncovered them for what their intended purposes are and will be. But I noticed a parallel message in this process, which is that there seems to also be an emphasis on walking out your self imposed stupor. And well if you're not stupid, that doesn't mean God will neglect or withhold what you need from this message. I believe God is pleading for your very soul, and for the very souls of those in whom you know, who are headed for a dreadfully awful place of which there is no second chances for escape. We cannot save anybody after they go to hell. Preaching the gospel in power and sometimes preface with advanced prayer is the only thing that will wake up the sleeping Christians and the fake believers, make believers, non believers, and those stuck in the valley of indecision. And my speech and preaching were not with pervasive words, of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. If you don't know the God of power, then you are preaching with no power, if you are indeed preaching at all. We as authentically born again believers will be held accountable for the ministry God has given to each of His disciples. So I thought it would wrap around topside and include this paragraph at the beginning of the message so that you understand it has a parallel message and does not let anyone off the hook. That their little symbolism will come to light as we move on. One last thing before we get started is that I expect in love that you will look up any reference scriptures, not necessarily the ones I include in their entirety, but those just referenced, so that you understand the message more comprehensively. And to support this portion, I leave you with some scriptures to look up that will help Matthew thirteen nineteen, Luke eight, twelve, Proverbs two, one through six, Psalms one hundred nineteen, one thirty, second Timothy two fifteen, Deuteronomy four one through ten, and Matthew four four. Keep in mind that some of the scriptures provided are preventative and others are supportative of the theme of what was just stated. And I know that's another made up word. Supportative. A podcast preacher help tip is that you can listen to the message in its entirety first, and then go back and document all those scriptures. Our goal is not to listen to so many messages per week, but to fully understand what is being said in each message. This is what defines or separates a mature Christian from others. I have seen Christians who have been Christians the better part of forty years and don't know a thing about God that would be helpful to anybody. Take this stuff seriously. God did when he gave his only son that we could learn about him and do what he did. So I was awakening this bright and sunny morning, thanking God for a good night's sleep, and a good night's sleep is a precious gem to my physical well being. Green green like gasoline is one of my personality traits, describing my daily need for accomplishment and life effectiveness, especially in these end of the end times, end of the days end times. He so but resting properly keeps me burning rubber all day long. Yes, it's another car analogy, and probably not the last. And so but the word lying popped up into my head. No, I wasn't being instructed to lie, but I feel that I was to do a message this morning on the power, deceitfulness, spiritual strategy, and cost of believing lies, especially in these end of days. Listen, don't hang up. You need to know the strategy of the devil who is already setting in place his government to rule on earth through the Antichrist. Least you buy into the petty little lies, displayed with half truths, and even look appetizing, which have a very intended purpose, which is to draw you away from the truth. It's like coaxing a fish to get out of water, which will inevitably kill its soul, right? I know, but I am building up on an analogy right now. So just wait a second. Do we need a parable? Okay, so fishermen use live bait, which is used as a trap with the intention of catching a fish, right? How? They embed a hook into the bait so that the fish is unaware that it is a set trap. I didn't say it was going to be a happy fishing story, and yes, all of the type of baits taken and used usually end in dramatic trauma to the fish or death. If you're a fisher person, don't panic. It's an allegory or parable, if you like that word better. And this method is intended to help us understand the premise of this message so that we too, like the fish, are not caught off guard and end up in a fight for our very souls. So we also have fake baits or lures, to be more specific, which are intended to imitate light baits, that is, that they imitate the look, action, or noise of the natural food source, which is available to the fish depending on where they are living. Is not this example expressed when a woman or man ends up marrying someone in whom after the marriage they discover that they are not at all the person that they thought that they were? Second Corinthians six fourteen, Proverbs eleven fourteen, fifteen twenty two, and twenty eighteen. Do we not make a mockery of this deception with reality programs that shine a pretty light on just how deceptive a person can be? Most of the time it's just for money, fame, or attention, so as to trap a person into marrying them. And but is this programming not also an attack on the biblical institution of marriage? Yes, of course it is. Some walk away from the programming with a treble hook stuck in their lip, and so they begin to think of alternate lifestyles that don't line up with God's very good plan for humanity. No doubt you can see that the lures used are dressed up to reveal what they think the fish is attracted to, all the while hiding the corrupted heart buried underneath scantly cladded outfits. And isn't this the same with big fishes? Why yes it is. We take a lot of pictures of the giant fish that we just caught, you know, the trophy fish. All the while it could be filled with parasites and totally inedible. Jeremiah seventeen nine, Genesis six five and eight twenty one. In Ephesians four seventeen through nineteen. The lures don't reveal the hidden hooks. They distract you from those weapons, so that you focus on the beauty of the bait. Ah I know, Proverb warns us of this behavior. Proverbs chapter one verse two through three, six twenty three through thirty five, chapter seven, one through verse twenty seven, chapter twenty two fourteen, and Revelation two twenty. Wow, like that's a lot of warning regarding that particular type of bait. It must be because it is an effective type of bait used against men or others who don't know what their sexual identity is. There are also fake baits that springly sparkle, making a lot of light noise to simply trick the fish into thinking that maybe they have discovered a new source of food. You know the same trick works with humans, right? We just chatted an example in light of our corrupted TV programming and thoroughly supported that corrupted behavior right from the Bible. And finally we have the rattletrap baits, which in fact make a rattly noise like a baby rattly noise toy. And why these things work, I don't know, but sometimes they do work. A human example might look something like this. I have seen how the modern day protester who is losing their minds at a protest, and as some watch them losing their minds, they do not notice the fact or truth that they are demonically possessed, which is in fact why they are losing their minds, but make the assumption that they are really emotionally distraught at perceived injustice. And so therefore their position on the subject must be just. The real issue is blurred by the overreaction of the protester, which is also called in some circles a sleight of hand. The circles I am referring to are demonic. This means that the devil is using the person's unhealed emotional state to draw you away from the truth of the matter and get you to agree with the emotionally bound up protester. It's a rattletrap bait, making all kinds of distracting noises, waiting for some unsuspecting soul to exercise misplaced compassion and empathy and swallow the lure, hook, line, and sinker. How do people end up in wild out of this world cults? The same same. Have we seen this lure in these last days? Yes. How about those protesting against supporting Israel? Or for those who are protecting the Jewish nation, or for those, as we flip the coin, who are in support of their potential future murderers. Oh silly, ignorant Americans who get high and form an opinion of which they know nothing about. And higher being disconnected from spiritual reality happens through more than just smoking pot. I'm talking about supporting a religion like Islam, who openly professes to be an enemy of Christianity. We have protesters who are in support of the American way of life. Yes, and we have women, American women, who are hated and second class beings in Islam, who are handing guns to those who would just as soon shoot them broadside. And yes, that was a play on words. What is the matter with those protester people? They took the bait, they ate the lies, and now are puppeteers of Satan, and to add to their or well his ranks. Is it not so obvious when people say things like we ought to have open borders, even though criminals are jumping at the chance to rape every woman and steal every penny that the American family has. Of course the people that say that would never take one of them into their own home. Ah, but not all of them, says the ignorant blimp, who doesn't register on the radar. Why it's the same reason. They cannot see spiritually or hear spiritually because they want and desire the bait of sin, thus separating themselves from the protection and covering of God Himself. I know it sounds like I'm being hard, but how loud would you scream at your child who once again runs out into the street into oncoming traffic? Your authority as a parent would be magnified by the frustration that the child isn't listening, and also by the fear that they might get taken out. Thus you would suffer the loss of your child. Listen for the parallelisms. I hear it all over this message. How about those protesting for Black Lives Matter, or those in support of Antifa, or even the rulers of countries? And I don't just mean all rulers, but evil rulers. And although the truth reveals the hideous toxins and intents of these types of groups, or some politicians, the deceived onlookers is taking the bait which will ensnare their souls, and that was the whole objective in the first place. Not even those of Antifa or Black Lives Matter know it. It was never about the bait, and to cross the story over into humanity, the unaware humans are the ones being used as bait, with the intended purpose of luring away the unsuspecting soul. Look at the upper echelon of humanity, according to the world standards, which is based on, of course, wealth, fame, and attractiveness, all fleeting in the blink of an eye, and see how they perpetuated evil unaware. Now some of these donations could have gone to good use, so this is not a sweeping argument against all of these charitable efforts, but there are some obvious clues that the money wasn't used for good reasons. Here are some of the movie stars and entertainment figures who made significant contributions. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, they donated$200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Jennifer Andison donated nearly a million dollars to racial justice charities. The Weekend donated$250,000 to the Black Lives Matter Network. Chrissy Tagan pledged$200 to bail out protesters. And these protesters were not protesters protesting legally. Leonardo DiCaprio supported the Color of Change Organization. Angelina Jolie contributed to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Seth Rogen, Steve Carell, and Don Sheetle donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund. Janelle Monet donated a hundred thousand to organizations in support of the movement. JJ Abrams and Katie McGrath. Through their foundation, they pledged$10 million over five years to various anti-racist organizations. And if you listen to some credible people on the other side of the coin, racism isn't actually a thing. It is a thing that is perpetuated by none other than Satan himself. Why? So that he can keep the idea that racism is still in effect. And now you can say that these guys meant well, but I would rather stay in the Bible and say because they are disconnected from God, they are spiritually blind and deaf, and so they cannot operate in the wisdom of God. The Bible says of this, or their kind of wealth or money, in Proverbs twenty three, four, five. Do not overwork to be rich, because of your own understanding cease. Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings, they fly away like an eagle towards heaven. Of course this applies to more than just movie stars and the famous. Before we move on, and yes, this is still about lies, and these stories are about what believing those lies cost. The following is also taken from Google AI and represents the known businesses who made contributions to the Wild Wild West. Bank of America pledged a billion dollars over four years. Apple, Walmart, and Target each committed a hundred million dollars or more to racial equality, economic growth, or social justice initiatives. Nike and PepsiCo pledged forty million dollars and four hundred million dollars, respectively, to support black communities. Google, Amazon, and Lego made significant contributions totaling millions to racial justice organizations and educational efforts. The following are companies that specifically mention Black Lives Matter or bail funds. Airbnb, DoorDash, and Glossier pledged funds directly, specifically to Black Lives Matter or related organizations. Etsy and Fashion Nova pledged one million dollars each, with portions directed to black-led movements. Lululaman and Spanks contributed to organizations like the Minnesota Freedom Fund, and Bad Robot pledged$10 million, part of which supported Black Lives Matter LA. Note on the Antifa Fund, there is no publicly available evidence or credible reporting of major companies or businesses giving vast sums of money directly to the movement known as Antifa. In 2020, millions of dollars in employee matched funds for major companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft were mistakenly donated to the Black Lives Matter Foundation, a non-affiliated organization in California with a similar name rather than the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Oops, how the money grows wings, right? Now yes, and I say again, I imagine some of the money went to righteous deeds, but the majority of it was really given as a marketing campaign. If it wasn't then, where else in their existence did these companies and these people contribute their money to such organizations for the good of black people during times of peace? And no violent, destructive, highly publicized events. Camera people and camera businesses looking for cheap advertising are always looking at the cost effective angle, regardless of the agency support admission. You see how many people support these people and companies and their support are perpetuating evil on this planet. Yes, there are plenty of books regarding these movements that show you the behind the scenes of what was really happening, but because the media doesn't want to draw attention to the mistakes of these listed people, the media is more than willing to make small change of it. Satan likes to remain incognito. And so you don't think that I'm teaching an exclusionary message, anybody can fall into the trap of taking the bait, which by the way gets its color, scent, sound, or attractiveness in lies. Yes, its identity is founded in lies. Genesis four seven. And if we the God believer is not filled with the truth of God, we are setting ourselves up to be deceived, especially in the days to come. Well meaning believers were constantly being used by the devil. As historical and provable examples, we see that Satan used the Roman Catholic Church to carry out his dastardly deeds, and they, in short, talking the ignorant people about them into becoming self appointed spiritual guardians, and they eventually became the ones who provided the hidden locations of Christians who are authentically born again and running in the fire of God. And after about a hundred million Christian deaths later, plus or minus, the mayhem was ended, or at least slowed down. Who can say oops? Sorry, my bad. I didn't know. History has shown that the masses who were initially in agreement with a lie or lies are slow to learn of their mistakes. These days are upon us again, and if you don't think that Satan is relentless and has every intention of destroying the Jews and Christians alike again, you need to invest in a new spiritual light because yours isn't working. No, yes, I am being hard because we as humans have this repeatable propensity to repeat something. History Satan has been around a long time, and his agenda never changes, nor his ultimately planned demise, and he is in a hurry because he knows that his time is short. Revelation twelve twelve. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them, woe to the inhabitants of the earth and to sea, for the devil has come down to you, having great wrath because he knows that he has a short time. The devil doesn't take a bribe. If you are a non believer, you have no favor with the devil, and if you are a believer, you still have no favor with the devil, nor did you want to. If you do not make the rapture, yes, it's the R word, and but also the entire point of this message. But if you do not make the rapture for whatever reason, these are the days that you will have chosen to live in, and he that is Satan or the Antichrist will murder you for your faith, if you indeed didn't already swallow the bait, hook, line, and sinker, as you wander around in these days of God's tribulation. Okay, and why I know that this is a message that needs to be heard by every living soul in these end time days is because the devil has already put the bait in water. And we have the most modern bait finder devices that is the component that shows us the lies and or bait right in our very hands in these very days. For these very days. Yes, your cell phony is designed for propaganda. I never thought that I would ever have used the word propaganda in a sentence. But there it is. We have many, many movies that have showed us how to be good human contributors to a society, I would say a corrupted society, by becoming unskilled, undiscerning, unholy at times, totally assuming without fact, believing the unfounded and unsupported lies, so that we can become supporters and sheriffs of injustice. Your cell phony becomes the weapon of choice for the Antichrist agenda. They call that propaganda. In wartimes they would drop all these leaflets, saying all kinds of things, spewing out lies about the current government they were fighting against, blah blah blah. Now your leaflet is in your hand. Your cell phony becomes the weapon of choice for the Antichrist agenda. People worry that the power will be shut off. But then why would the Antichrist allow such nonsense? Think about it. He will have too many people more than willing to send messages regarding the Christian criminal or heretic to use as an old Roman Catholic trick. Nah he needs the lines of communication open to purge the earth of God's children. The agenda is the same. The only thing that's changed are the methods. Yes, imagine that a newer government changes the religious laws, of which most will agree with, for lack of Bible knowledge and for a lack of nearness to God, to ban the Bible or to rewrite it to exclude the deity of Jesus. I know it sounds like I'm writing a screenplay for the next blockbuster movie, but that wouldn't help our condition today because we have already been enrolled in the school of lies, assumptions, and deceit for over fifty years. The advent of the cell phony is a huge leap in the Antichrist disseminating false information about people in extraordinarily mass quantities, in the blink of an eye. All of our institutions right this very day are being primed for a false new world order, shouting peace peace, and then suddenly God will set the record straight and wrap this whole mess up. The Bible states people will cry peace peace when there is no peace, primarily in Jeremiah six hundred fourteen and Jeremiah eight eleven, referring to false prophets giving false assurance before judgment. Yes, I'm back to Google AI. A similar warning appears in first Thessalonians three, which speaks of people saying peace and safety just before sudden destruction. Key biblical passages Jeremiah six hundred fourteen. They have healed also the herd of the daughter of my people, slightly saying, peace peace when there is no peace. Ezekiel thirteen ten because even because they have seduced my people, saying peace and there was no peace. Thessalonians three for when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them. These verses are generally interpreted as warnings against false security, specifically when leaders or people ignore spiritual decay or coming judgment, proclaiming stability, that is peace, while circumstances are dangerous. When they say peace, they are actually lying, right? Yes. Ah, but if you say that you don't believe in Bible fairy tales, this simply proves that you are not an authentically born again believer. And if you say that you believe in God, I would say, well, let's see what the Bible says about it and see the depth of our belief, and if it can anchor us through some very exceedingly difficult days ahead. Let's discover how these days, these very days, have been hiding in plain sight. And but if you are a professing unbeliever, you are spiritually blind and deaf. This means you cannot hear the truth of God even if it slapped you upside the face at a hundred miles an hour. Yes, it's another reference to cars. So then you will be doomed to spiritual annihilation until you decide to at least entertain that you might simply have come to believe a lie. And truthfully, what can it hurt to look into it anyways? Don't be afraid that you might be wrong because well you are wrong right now, and it's okay. The price of shutting the door to Jesus has an eternal cost, and no one can afford to be wrong in their choice to ignore all of the mountains of truth that prove without a shadow of doubt that God is seeking those in whom want to spend eternity with him. So but look now for a minute. I see this perpetuation of lying happening at an alarming rate, and no, it is not only I, but people like Charlie Kirk, Jonathan Conn, Stephen Ciolani, Rick Raynor, Donald Trump, some pastors, some prophets, some apostles, some teachers, and some evangelists, as well as a handful of others, and for the sake of argument, let's define handful as several million. Now that means that over seven billion people can be contentedly walking in the dark, spiritually deaf and blind, unable to see the truth. No one heads off a cliff because they saw it, right? Look at what walking in the dark looks like. The Bible frequently uses walking in darkness to symbolize living in sin, ignorance, or despair without God's guidance. Key verses include Isaiah 9 2, the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light, and first John 1 6, which states that walking in darkness is incompatible with fellowship with God. The primary biblical context for walking in darkness prophecy of hope, Isaiah 9 2 mentions people walking in darkness who see a great light, a passage often interpreted as prophecy regarding the coming of Jesus Christ. Lifestyle of sin or falsehood six through seven and first John two eight through eleven, warned that walking in darkness means living in sin and specifically failing to love others, which causes spiritual blindness. Stumbling in ignorance. Despair and disobedience, Isaiah fifty ten describes those who fear God but still walk in darkness or despair, encouraging them to trust the Lord. Correction or warning Proverbs four hundred nineteen notes that the way of the wicked is like deep darkness. They do not know what makes them stumble. This is why Jesus could say on the cross, Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. People were walking in darkness. Isaiah nine two The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light is shined. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles because there's no light in him. In Isaiah fifty ten. Who is among you that fears the Lord, that walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord. Now I'm not saying that I have seen seven billion people living in deception. What I am sharing is that the masses of people, that is the majority, to my estimation, have never been right about too much of anything. You see, when you walk out life outside of faith, you want the evidence, that is you want to C C C that you are not the only one who believes such and such, and your barometer is determined by how many people are in agreement with whatever you believe in. This is how Hitler could convince so many people that he had good intentions, and a lot of people fell for it. Truth is absent in the absence of faith and being connected to the one, that is God, through Jesus who cannot lie, is the lying antidote Hebrews six eighteen, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie. Titus one two, in hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie, promised before time began. Numbers twenty three nineteen, God is not a man that he should lie, nor a son of man that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do, or has he spoken, and will he not make it good? I don't write the rules, but by God. After living on this spinning out of control planetary mess for just a meager sixty three years, not being able for more than half of my life, to prove that God is wrong in anything that he says or does, I thought that I would side with the small majority. There was a movie called three hundred, in which the whole of Greece was actually dependent on their sacrifice, as the majority of them sat back and called them fools for taking on such a large project. But those few, fully prepared for battle, believed the foolish majority needed them to step up even if the majority lacked understanding and wisdom, even if that small minority could set back evil for just a season. Is this not the Christian legacy? Yes, and a fine win at that. Let them call us fools for taking on the devil that they cannot see. Let them call us fools for praying for their very souls. They will thank us in heaven. Ah, let them kill us for our sacrificial serving, our very enemies, wholeheartedly and without compromise, as they send some of us right into the face of our beloved Jesus, who paved the way for us to live in such a manner. Alright, so let us also continue to post messages like these in the very hope that some who really do want to know the truth can get to them. When I say send it out, I am providing you an opportunity to teach, and if you are absent of the word of God to address questions, you can send them my way. The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one, everyone, not just the fake believers, make believers, non believers, and those in the valley of indecision. And so but if you sin, you make yourself a slave to sin Romans sixteen through twenty and chapter six six and John eight thirty four. But the worst part and intention of Satan using sin as allure is that when you sin, which is the fake golden keys Revelation one eighteen, that unlock the penalty of sin's family, which includes all the curses listed in Deuteronomy. Additionally those fake keys give Satan permission to influence, harass, or to kill, steal, and destroy, any in all things you, by shooting any one of those curses, including sickness and disease your way. Proverbs twenty six two, John ten ten, Deuteronomy twenty eight, fifteen through sixty eight. And but now if you do not think that he is beyond eager to destroy your ever living being, you must have bought into yet another lie. As a believer, we know the master keymaker who has provided an advocate through his son Jesus Christ, that we, when we repent of our sins, Jesus, who is now our heavenly intercessor, will approach God with our repentant sin package, and God will cast it into forgetfulness. They say God can do all things, but no, he cannot lie. Titus one two, Hebrews six, eighteen, and Numbers twenty three nineteen. And he cannot love those who practice evil and unrighteousness. Psalms five five, eleven fifteen, Proverbs six, sixteen through nineteen, and fifteen verse nine, and Malachi one, two through three. And he cannot remember your sins covered by the blood of his son. Jeremiah thirty one thirty four, Hebrews eight twelve, ten, seventeen, Isaiah forty three twenty five, and Psalms one hundred three twelve. Yes, anything that speaks against these truths are lies, planted by who? The devil. Be careful in whom you pick to be your daddy, and but unlike our adoption process on earth, we get to choose our spiritual parents. The end of your life and its results are all on you, and the results will be based on who your daddy was upon your death. Many will be prompted to believe the lies set in place by God, especially those lies told in these variant times. This is brought about by your loving to live a life of sinfulness and your proactive unbelief in God, fully rejecting him wholeheartedly. Second Thessalonians two, eleven through twelve. And for this reason, God will send them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Them is the hinge word, right? Who are the them that he is talking about? We will see. Now after hearing that scripture, that many fake believers, make believers, unbelievers, and those in the valley of indecision will say, See, I told you, who would want to serve a god that would force people to believe lies? But here's where stupidity makes its mark. You see, which is the fact that facts and truth are ignored for personal beliefs driven and controlled by out of control emotions, which are rooted in demonic power founded on lies. And if you call that out in a person, they will call you the very thing that they themselves are manifesting. A crazy person doesn't know that they are manifesting crazy. They wouldn't believe it even if they saw it on film. You must be plugged into God through Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, at which time you will begin the journey of sanctification, in which you will have the rest of your life to see what a mad person you really were outside of God, but no longer in condemnation, but rather just to keep you in humility, so that you can appreciate the value of your new found salvation, and be ever so thankful. Listen to the reason noted in that scripture as to why they are given over to believing the lies of the devil. They did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness, or you could say, in doing wickedness, which falls under the definition of unrighteousness. You could also say that they reveled, that is celebrated lawlessness, of which we have seen examples in this country and even globally, but more so in this country since about twenty sixteen. We have groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter, many politicians, including those in the Democratic Party, which doesn't exclude other politicians or rulers of other countries, reveling in lawlessness, and the politicians in the USA, in their fear and disconnection from God, allow it to happen under their very own watch. Therefore no consequences, no remorse of bad or inappropriate behavior, and so life, if it goes unchecked, will lead us to the days of Noah and of Lot, Matthew twenty four, thirty seven through thirty nine. No worries now, because we will get there anyways, because eventually life will go unchecked, and by all accounts, lawlessness will seem to bring the peace that they have always wanted. But you see it's a satanic lure Thessalonians three. It is artificial bait, and it will lead most of all everybody, in the end times, to befriend the Antichrist. It is the very plan of Satan to destroy humanity, and we have seen a picture of what that looks like throughout history, but not the full picture of just how intense it is going to be. Matthew twenty four twenty one. For then there will be great tribulation such as not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. The entirety of the end times will and is arriving based on a series of lies and half truths, believed by humanity throughout all time. Let's listen to how the world, the one we are living in today, will embrace the Antichrist, and please don't say that you never would. The strength of your relationship with God is your only protection. The Bible states that most of the world will embrace, follow, and worship the Antichrist, referred to as the beast, during the end times, due largely to deception, miraculous signs, and a desire for global peace. This widespread following is detailed primarily in the book of Revelation, supported by warnings from Jesus and Paul about a great deception, key biblical locations and descriptions regarding the global acceptance of the Antichrist. Revelation thirteen, three through four and eight, the whole world follows, and all the world marveled and followed the beast, so that they worship the dragon, that is Satan, who gave authority to the beast, and they worship the beast, and all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the book of life. Second Thessalonians two nine through twelve. Strong delusion. Paul explains that because people do not love the truth, God will send them a strong delusion that they should believe the lie. The lawless one will come with all power, signs, and lying wonders. Matthew twenty four twenty four, deception of many. Jesus warns that false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Revelation seventeen eight, wonder at the beast. The text notes that those who dwell on earth will marvel when they see the beast that was and is not and yet is. Daniel seven twenty five. Global control. The prophet Daniel states that this figure will gain power to speak against God, and the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time. Why the world embraces the Antichrist? The Bible indicates the world will follow him because he will temporarily bring peace and unity and appear as a charismatic, intelligent leader who solves world problems. Furthermore, Revelation thirteen, eleven through twelve describes a false prophet who convinces the world to worship the Antichrist. Listen, out of Revelation thirteen three four it states all the world marveled and followed the beast. The hinge word is all. This leaves no room for guessing, and so you cannot, if you didn't make the rapture, begin to say I will never leave you, Jesus. Peter said it and physically saw and lived with God for a long time. Mark fourteen twenty seven through thirty one. We must be careful and believe the Bible when it states to be sober and villigent. Run as if your Bermuda shorts were on fire. The time is short. We know he is at the door. Revelation three twenty. Now I'm not trying to create a message of fear, for that would be stupid, and besides you have the falsies and the news media to do that. And so I'm trying to create a message for motivation, one that will motivate the authentically born again Christian to dive deep into their word so that they understand how God works, and the victory which we are walking in already. Now this is only true if we are actually hearing and doing what the Word of God says James one twenty two through twenty five. For his word says that knowledge puffs up, but love, which is another word for serving, edifies Proverbs chapter two, Corinthians fifteen fifty seven, Romans eight thirty seven, and first Corinthians eight one. We are sitting at the brink of collapse. We have been foretold this in and throughout the Bible for ages and ages Matthew chapters twenty four through chapter twenty five. The church is wait. The active church is operating in the power of the Holy Spirit, doing the will of God, which is proven by doing the works of Jesus and greater works than even He did in his days, equipping the saints for the work of ministry, making disciples or lifelong learners, and have the evidence that God is working in their lives by change character. Those type of Christians represent the restraining force, meaning that we are simply holding back Satan and the tsunami effects of sin from having complete access to all of humanity. So if you think it is a good idea to shut down all of the Christian churches and begin a new thing, be careful because Satan will show up to be the new pastor of the new work, and he will lie his shorts off from the pulpit, and he will believe and hang on to his every word. Why would he change his strategy? It has worked so well for him thus far. This is why the rapture has fought so hard in spite of the fact that we have seven rapture examples and five rapture type events in the Bible. And really, ah, so many more examples. But again, yes, I have stated this before, but again, how many biblical examples do we need of this very critical and right at our very doorsteps event to believe the truth over the lies? I tell you the biblical preparation for the rapture looks very different from the non biblical preparation, which is that you will incur God's judgment against your sins for a second time in your life. And I know this is a message online, and but this is Is about that very thing. This is one lie that I must continually beat my drum on. So let's lock it in as one example of how to expose the lies of Satan and shine a light on the truth of God's word, not using or relying on man's interpretation of God's word, but by letting God's word support God's word. The Bible states in first Thessalonians that God is not destined Christians for wrath, but for salvation through Jesus Christ, while Ephesians two three notes that people are by nature children of wrath. Before faith, this verse confirms that believers are appointed to receive salvation and escape God's judgment. This one scripture should be enough, but I know that lies are deep and can attach themselves to any residual pre salvation pride or post salvation new pride that we might have about what we believe about or know that the Bible states. Ah, deception is no different than lies, is it? Now I have changed the order of the rapture list so as to make it more easy to understand. So these rapture, rapture type events, and hidden raptures revealed by revelation are not in time order, but are listed in rapture groupings, rapture type groupings, and in hidden raptures revealed in Revelations, contained in other stories. Rapture one, Enoch, Genesis 5, 9 through 24, and Hebrews 11 5. Rapture 2, Elijah, 2 Kings 2 11, Rapture 3, Jesus, Acts 1, 9 through 11, Rapture 4, the Church, 1 Thessalonians 4 17, Revelation 3, 7 through 10, Matthew 24, 40 through 41, Luke 17, 34 through 36, and 1 Corinthians 15 52. Rapture 5, 144,000. These are raptured about four years into the tribulation. Revelation 7, 1 through 4, and Revelation 14, 1 through 5. Rapture 6, the Tribulation Saints, or the Great Multitude, Revelation 7, 9 through 17. Rapture 7, the two end time prophets, Revelation 11, 7 through 12. The following are rapture type events. Basically what this means is that they didn't get caught up to heaven and stay there. They were caught away alive, as the original Greek states, but remained on earth eventually. Rapture eight, Philip the Evangelist, Acts eight thirty nine. In this scripture, note the words caught away, not caught up. Rapture nine, Paul the Apostle, Second Corinthians twelve, two through four. Rapture ten, John the Apostle of Love. Revelation four, one through two. These next three are hidden raptures, revealed in Revelation through Bible stories, and there are way more than just three stories that talk about this getting caught away or being removed before the judgment of God hits the earth. But these are just three that I'm aware of right now. Rapture eleven, the story of Noah's Ark is another rapture type, and personally, if this story was all that I had, I would have a difficult time believing that we would be raptured. But thank God it's not, but simply a part of a similar message repeated in the Bible over and over. Basically we can see that before God's judgment was carried out on the planet, he had to remove the righteous people. You can see how this associates to the active and running hot for God Church. In Revelation three ten it states of the Philadelphia Church, Because you have kept my command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth. Rapture twelve, the story of Lot also has the same outcome, in that God could not bring his judgment upon those cities until Lot was removed. Genesis nineteen, fifteen through twenty two. Both Lot and Noah were considered righteous Genesis six nine and second Peter two, seven through eight. Rapture thirteen, the Galatian traditional marriage ceremony. There's a great movie on this ceremony and how it fulfills many in time scriptures. One of the things I learned was that when the groom comes to pick up his bride, he does so in a handheld cart, and then she is, that is the bride, sits down in the cart and is carried or caught up or raptured to her new home. There are these thirty scriptures that are associated to this marriage ceremony. So to be clear, the bride being carried or caught up on this cart is also a rapture nugget, now hidden in end time's plain sight. I found the two movies regarding the Galatian traditional marriage. The first is titled Before the Wrath, was put out in 2020. The film was narrated by Kevin Sorbo and is a documentary that explores ancient Galatian wedding traditions. The second is titled Wedding in Galilee, nineteen eighty seven, a narrative film directed by Michael Khalifi that focuses on a Palestinian wedding ceremony in a Galatian village. Take notes as you watch these and have your Bibles next to you so that you can see how creative Jesus was in talking about his returning and that no one would know the day or the hour and how that will play out in these very days. For more information on many various raptures, you can read Rick Raynor's book titled The Rapture, the Antichrist and the Tribulation, and In Times Countdown, and What Happens Next, and Hilton Sutton's book titled Rapture, Get Right or Get Left, and the Holy Bible, of course. My list uses a combination of inputs from various authors, and all rapture claims are verified by the Word of God thus far. And Masatan is not dumb, in comparison to an unplugged into God humanity. He works through people to write books that retort the truth. Has he not started antichrist religions to do the same thing, to discount the authentically born again church? Yes he has. I have found this to be the case when entering into discussions about what a person believes, which is that they seem to be drawn to the same people who are like minded on issues. So they don't look for the truth, they just look for people who support what they believe to be the truth, to fortify their belief in what they believe to be the truth. If you bring up the Bible and what it states, they too begin to dismantle the scriptures to prove their point, which is not really their point, but the one that they read in somebody else's book. Now it sounds like common sense, but what is it? It is a strategy to keep them in the dark. Why doesn't forty eight percent of the Christian population read the Bible? And of the few who read it cover to cover over and over, are they the loudest voices of today? It's the deceived population that will fall on a tin sword, go into their graves blinded to the truth, because they want to bring into the discussion regarding the things of God what should have been crucified in Christ. In other words, if someone has to take apart the word of God to make sense of their understanding of what they believe, well then they are well deceived, not just deceived. Proverbs thirteen twenty and first Corinthians fifteen thirty three. Ah how we hate to discover that we were wrong and duped by the father of lies. It goes against everything that we must have believed about ourselves, which is that we could never have been duped in the first place. But duping is not prejudiced. Now maybe the lie was sent as a test from God to see if you have retained any spiritual pliability and humility in the things pertaining to God, or if you have resurrected some part of your flesh so that you can glory in just how much you think you know about God. Remaining biblically objective and open minded to changing your position on a newly discovered biblically supported truth is difficult in light of the continuously increasing lies that permeate and pervade every facet of human existence. Look and see the strategy. At some point it will be said of Christianity that Jesus is a prophet but not God, and many will believe it because Satan said it. Nope, because those who are not careful and Bible ignorant will believe the lie, and then perpetuate this lie as if it were their truth, and make every attempt to support it with scriptures. Not the truth of scriptures, but and it is already happening, a modified or watered down scripture. It is already happening as Satan throughout time has tried to destabilize the integrity of the Word of God. The most notable time in history that this happened is when the Roman Catholic Church added forty plus or minus new doctrines and traditional beliefs to their religious system. This is why they didn't want the common man to be able to read the Bible for themselves. Martin Luther changed history and started the move which resulted in putting the Bible into every man's hands. The recent and I say recent in comparison to when the original Bible scrolls were written, discovery of scrolls only served to prove the infallibility of the Bible. Listen to this snipshot. Qumran Caves. The scrolls were found in eleven different caves, designated one Q through eleven Q. The first cave, one Q was found by a Beddoin Shepherd in nineteen forty seven. Other sites, while the Dead Sea scrolls refer largely to the Qumran findings, related documents were also found in surrounding areas like Wadi, Miraba At, and Masada. The majority of the manuscripts, consisting of thousands of fragments and some completed scrolls, were found in jars within these limestone caves, hidden during the first century. There are other discoveries of religiously documented historical writings, as archaeology is a profitable business in these days as it pertains to religious relics and artifacts. It is possible that a scroll or clay tablet can be found written by someone who was not a believer in Christ, and but then presented as a spiritual truth and then adopted by a majority of future humanity, with many saying, Oh see, I thought something was off, but now it makes total sense. The Antichrist is the Savior of the world, and Jesus was just a good prophet and a good spiritually enlightened teacher. I tell you Satan is a good fisherman, and the hobbling church of today better get right so as to be prepared to meet the crushing needs of the ill informed. In the same vein I guarantee that as each saint gets to heaven, we will find that we were off on some things in the Bible. It is bound to happen. Now I'm talking about just those who actually read it, but what we cannot be off on are the non negotiables, which is changing in any way, shape, or form, the laws and commands of God, Deuteronomy four two and twelve thirty two, the gospel of Jesus Christ, Galatian one, six through nine, or the revelation of God, and of Christ which is permeated throughout the Bible, Revelation twenty two, eighteen through nineteen. Outside of this, we can get wobbly, and but have some liberty to dig deep for the truths of those stories. It's okay to do the work God has assigned you to do, and but do not get so entrenched in some idea or perceived truth that you have about the Word of God. We are fallible human beings operating by the grace and mercy of God, and no doubt, no authentically born again Christian is trying to teach false biblical truth, so we should have grace when some miss it. I have, and may do so again. Okay, look at what we should be standing against, actively standing against in these very last days. The Bible strictly warns against preaching a false gospel, most notably in Galatians one, six through nine, where Paul states that anyone, even an angel, preaching a different gospel is accursed or condemned. Other key passages include 2 Corinthians eleven, thirteen through fifteen, false apostles, second Timothy four, three through four, itching ears, and second Peter chapter two. Key Scriptural Warnings Galatians defines a false gospel as anything different from the original message of grace, declaring such teachers condemned. Galatians one eight through nine but even if we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. Second Corinthian warns that false apostles disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. Second Timothy four three through four predicts a time when people will seek teachers who suit their own passions rather than the truth. Second Timothy four three through four for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desire, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers, and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. Okay, so let's look at the word fables in the Greek because this is a message online, right? The Greek word for fables in the New Testament is muthos, meaning a fiction, story, or myth. It implies a false account, fabrication or story that poses as truth, specifically referring to pagan myths or senseless stories rather than true narratives or biblical truths. We saw the news media do this to Donald Trump beginning around 2016, and they've been on a rampage of lies since that time. And I gotta tell you, I don't believe it's ever gonna change. And I want to say this as a warning. Be careful because they are gonna propagate or lift up the Antichrist as the true savior of the world. How do I know this? Because look at what the Antichrist is doing with them right now. They're attacking anything that doesn't agree with their socialist programs. Okay, Greek meaning muthos generally refers to a speech, story, or fiction, often denoting something made up, such as myths or tales that lack reality. Biblical usage. In the King James Version, it is used five times to warn against false doctrines, myths or silly fables. Context it contrasts sharply with the truth of the gospel, specifically warning against turning to pagan, worldly or old wives tales. Associated term in first Timothy four seven, the phrase silly myths uses mutos along with greotius, old womanish, meaning absurd, irrelevant stories. While muthos is used for deceptive myths, the Bible sometimes contains allegorical stories, like Jonathan's fable of the trees in Judges nine, that are meant as illustrations rather than the false fables warned against in the New Testament. God did not give us a spirit of fear, so this shouldn't get you all knotted up. The knowledge is intended for preparatory purposes. Back to scripture of things, we need to actively stand against no, not the people who are walking in spiritual blindness, but against the demons who have somehow, by the permission of the individual, have been given permission to drag them into spiritual darkness and blindness. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. See how this is preventative? It keeps you from believing the lies of the enemy. Matthew seven fifteen warns of false prophets who come in sheep's clothing, but are ravenous wolves. Matthew seven fifteen. Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. In finishing, listen, Satan doesn't want us to be active Christians while we, at the same time, are looking for the return of Jesus to deliver his church, his bride from the judgment of God against all sin and all unrighteousness. For those who don't believe in the rapture, they have taken the bait and believed a lie, of which its roots can be found in Satan, the father of lies. You would have to assume too many things as well as to unravel many, many scriptures that lead us down the rapture road, and of course this is what happens right now in these very days. And the Antichrist is already coming up with an excuse to tell all of humanity once that rapture occurs. So watch out for the permeation of lies. It doesn't matter if it's done in ignorance, as ignorance is often a state of mind, in that there is no transformation taking place because of the absence of the Word of God. Do not be as the fake believers, the make believers, the unbelievers, and those who are stuck in the valley of indecision, who lie under the sway of the evil one. Lock and load and get the word in you. It is your spiritual ammo. We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. Notice the state's sway and not snapped off or broken. It's just a subtle movement off of the truth of God. And this is all it takes to get us going in the wrong direction. No loud snaps or misdirections, no obvious lies, just subtle half-truths and redirects. Did God really say? See how subtle that line is? And yet the whole of humanity hung in the balance as to what Eve or how Eve would respond. We are living in her response today. Listen, just a slight shift in our spiritual disciplines, for example, a reduction of time spent in reading the Bible, because all of a sudden you received a great promotion. But, however, you no longer have time to keep God first. But you think that this was from God. So it is his purpose for you in this season. After all, promotion comes from the Lord, right? Maybe this one did, but that it was intended to be a test, which was designed to test your commitment and loyalty to God. If the promotion results in a weaker relationship with God, it was not actually intended to be the blessing God had for you. The fruit we produce in our life is all telling, in the sense of whether or not we are being effective Christians, we're just lying under the sway. God doesn't add any sorrow to his blessing. Let's close in prayer. May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, so that you may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before your God and Father at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. Now may the God of peace, the one in whom we call wonderful Counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, may He Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. To our Lord of Lords and our King of Kings, to our high and lifted up great high priest, who has once and for all paid the price, that you might see and hear God. May He hear and respond to our prayers. To our God we stand and praise. He too always lives to make intercession for you while seated at the right hand of the Father. May the God of peace, who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you what is well pleasing in his sight. Through Jesus Christ, to whom we glory forever and ever. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Well that's it for today. Remember, it's not what you find wrong or disagree with regarding these messages, but what you can take away from it. Together we can do more to impact the kingdom than if we work alone.
