All Things Coming Together for the End

As I read and study today, I learn more about how many areas of our nation and the world are coming into alignment for the one world government, economy, and religion that will give rise to the man of sin, the Beast of the end times. At the present time, Tony Blair of the UK is probably going to try for the leadership of this one world society. It may be that our President, O'Bama will also try for this leadership.

This leader will be against Israel, but will make peace with her for the space of time alloted. Then, all the armies will come against Israel. This is the time when Jesus will come to the earth and kill all the armies so that a great deal of blood will be shed in the valley of war.

In Daniel 12: we read about this time. Read this for yourself. It refers both to the people of Daniel, the Jews, and to the people who have accepted Jesus as Saviour. Verse 3 gives a picture of what God's people will be like in this time.

However, the verse 4 says that many will run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. At this time in our church history, many people are going from preacher to preacher, from Bible study to Bible study trying to get the knowledge of God that they seek. These people want it spoon fed to them. They want preachers to give it to them. Instead of this, people should get into the Word, the Bible, and spend time with the Father Himself. They must get to know Him. They must hear what He wants to say to each individual. Spiritual maturity is not learned second hand. It is learned by being in the Word and hearing from the Holy Spirit.

People are wasting precious time that they could spend learning from our Father, from our Lord Jesus, from the Holy Spirit. Some even neglect their families for seeking out these preachers. They are like people on fire for something that is illusive to them. The Bible speaks of these people as babies. They have to be fed milk instead of meat. They can't feed themselves.

There are good times to hear the Word preached from the pulpit. This often happens on the day of worship for Christians, Sunday. There is nothing wrong with hearing from the preacher. He is annointed to bring God's word to the people. But when a person is not in the assembly of the church, that person has a duty to work out his/her own salvation with fear and trembling. This means that every person must study, pray, listen, and learn from the Father what is for that person. Make your spiritual experience personal. Make it from the Father for you.

A time is coming soon when you will not have a preacher to feed you. In these times, you must have the ability to get your food from the Word and the Holy Spirit. And if the Bible is taken from you, you still have the Holy Spirit to teach you and the Word that you have placed in your heart to guide you. If you don't get these now, when that time comes, you will have nothing to hold on to.

What will you have?

Demonic Power Will Grow Stronger in the Last Days

The following is from the latest newsletter from http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/newsletter20091019.htm

I highly recommend this site to up to date information about what is happening in the spiritual world today.

Demonic Power Will Grow Stronger in the Last Days


I am convinced that the world is being prepared even now to accept and believe the witness of the sign when the false prophet will call down fire from heaven (Rev. 13:13). Note, for example, the unprecedented increase in emphasis on television on supernatural powers, ghosts, and spirits. These themes have been around for a very long time, but not since the superstitious days of the Middle Ages have they been accentuated so heavily. This build-up, I believe, is preparing the populace for Satan's introduction of the Beast and his false prophet, who will deceive "them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;" (Rev. 13-14).



Thus will the false prophet seemingly verify that the Beast that rose out of the sea (Rev. 13:1), also known as "the son of perdition" and the anti-Christ, is indeed the promised Messiah. Once again, God will be testing mankind by allowing these miracle-signs, to reveal the faithful remnant that will cling to the revealed Word and will not be snared by the Anti-Christ's powerful delusion.



May all who read these words be among that faithful remnant!

Our Nation Is In Danger

http://fightinwordsusa.wordpress.com/rebels-and-radicals-the-new-american-revolution/
This link says a lot.



Folks, it is time for all who value this nation to act. We can no longer sit by and watch while our President gives our nation away to the European Community. All our rights will be gone. We will become slaves to this new One World Government. 

I have written about the emerging church movement and its goal to have a one world government. Well, it is past time to research them. Our President is about to sign away our nation.  We must act. Please, call the White House at 1-202-456-1111.  Call your senators and representatives. Call anyone who has any power at all.  Speak up. Tell them you don't want our nation given over to this one world government.

THE TIME IS NOW. WE MUST ACT!

Sandra

Our Nation Is In Mortal Danger

The link to the site above tells us that President O'Bama is selling our nation to the European Community. If we allow this, we will have no more freedoms. Please, please read the above article, then call your Congressmen and Senators. Call the White House at 1-202-456-1111. Tell them that you are strongly opposed to what O'Bama is about to do. Our nation is at risk!! Please do something.  Here is the link again in case the one above doesn't work.

Sites To Read

http://www.understandthetimes.org    I have often referred you to the site where the LightHouseResearch.com tells of the emerging church teachings. I now want to refer you to the link at the first of this page. It is a site that publishes articles about things happening in our world that Christians should be aware of. It is easy reading, but gives the reader much more to search out. 

Here is an article from the recent newsletter of Understanding the Times:

September 27 - The US joins the world


Article: Israel And The Last Days

US President Barack Obama last week firmly aligned his administration with the Arab world, joining the rest of the international community in its position against the Jewish State of Israel.

Addressing some 140 world leaders gathered in New York for the 64th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, Obama condemned as an illegal "occupation" Israel's presence in its ancestral homeland. And he roundly rejected the right of Jews to live and build communities in the hill country they believe was given to them by their God.

But while, according to the American leader, Israel's people have no right to possess, dwell in and govern the land of their fathers, the United States must insist that Israel "respect the legitimate claims and rights of the Palestinians."

Obama's position indicates his acceptance and intention to champion the Arab narrative - which insists that the "Palestinians" have lived in the land "from time immemorial" and have the right to be formed as a nation in it.

He has thus rejected the Jewish narrative - which holds that this was the Land of Canaan given to Abraham, then Isaac, then Jacob and then Jacob's descendants; that the nation took root here nearly 4000 years ago, growing and developing in this land and ruling as sovereigns over it; that following the Jews' expulsion from the land they kept burning for two millennia the fire of their intended return; that they are not a foreign implant, not a colony, not in the land in order to assuage stricken western consciences following the Holocaust; that the Palestinian Arabs have no national history - neither in this land nor anywhere else, and that the creation of an Arab state in the historical Jewish homeland constitutes land theft and poses an existential threat to Israel.

Critics slammed Obama's speech as the most anti-Israel message ever delivered by a president of the United States. America's former ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, slammed Obama's address as "the most radical anti-Israel speech I can recall any president making."

Folks, this is getting serious. The time when many armies will come against Israel and God will intervene on their behalf is very near. And most of us as Christians believe that before that time Jesus will come for His own, so the time of the Rapture is so near that we dare not be ready.  Our nation is rapidly entering into the One World Community, and Tony Blair just well may be the leader of this community. We all need to read what is currently going on in our world. We cannot afford to be ignorant of the signs of the times. Some say that they just want to be ready and wait on Jesus to come. They don't want to know what is happening in our world. I think this is wrong. As we see the times growing closer, we are spurred to tell the gospel of Jesus even more to everyone we know. We must continue working until Jesus takes us out of this world. None can afford to sit idle.

Christians Who Hold To The Truth Will Be Hated

I am continuing to read in the book of Acts in the Bible. This is where the Holy Spirit has me for the time being. This morning I read about how Peter and John were arrested for preaching the truth of Jesus. The Pharisees were so angry at them for this that they warned them not to preach about Jesus anymore. Before they let Peter and John go, they beat them. But this didn't diminish these disciples' ardor for preaching Jesus.

In Acts 5: 41- we read that Peter and John went away rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for Jesus' name.

In our society today, Christians and Christianity is under attack. According to Rick Warren and people like Brian McLaren,

"if you believe the Book of Revelation and Matthew 24 are yet to take place, you are a dangerous psychological misfit and are assumed to have no compassion for the suffering, no concerns for the environment or the world in which we live, and have the potential to blow up the world with 'weapons of mass destruction."
(Faith Undone by Roger Oakland, page 204)

It would be one thing if he was referring to big governments and political leaders, but this is not the case. He is referring to Christians who believe what the Bible says about the last days.

Rick Warren calls these people "resisters."  He says they will have to leave or die. He calls these Christians "the ornery ones." And he calls the pastors of churches that still preach the Truth, "the meaner ones."

With such criticism of Christians being taught by leaders whom most Americans think to be wonderful leaders in the spiritual movement, it is time to think about what Christians who refuse to
"leave or die" will do when the fire comes to each one of them.

I have written much in my other site: http://christianchatsandart3.spaces.live.com/ about Christian growth and how Christians must learn to stand on faith. It is imperative that we learn these things. If we cannot stand in times of really minor persecution from people around us now, how will we stand when this persecution comes from leaders of the nation?

In the book Faith Undone, a man with the last name of Sutherland tells readers that "some folks are going to get very angry. He likens these opposers (Christians) to 'leaders from hell." (page205) 

The concept of get with it or die is very common in New Age and emerging circles as well.

I could site many references to these people and their views of Christians. But you need to get this book. You can order it from LightHouseTrailsPublishing on the web. It costs $12.00 plus shipping and handling = about $18.00. It is worth every penny. I also recommend the other book I have been referring to, A Time Of Departing by Ray Yungen. If you read these two book, you will have a complete knowledge of where this movement came from, what it advocates, and where it is leading.  This may be the most important reading you can do besides the Holy Bible.

I will write more about this movement and about another church that is promoting a false christ in future messages.

Please tell your friends about this site.  I want everyone to be warned. What they do with the knowledge is up to them.

Christianity Is Threatened in America

I saw Newt Gingrich on tv last night. He and his wife are making videos about how Christianity is being threatened in our society. I don't know what all his videos contain, but you can get the link for them from this site.

Newt Gingrich: Americans Must Fight Hostility to Christianity Growing in Schools


Sunday, October 4, 2009 5:37 PM


A virulent hostility toward religion is threatening the very fabric of American liberty and prosperity: That's the alarm former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his wife, Callista, are sounding in their thought-provoking new documentary, “Rediscovering God in America II: Our Heritage."

In an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview, the former House speaker contends that American culture has been marked by "a steady increase in hostility to religion over the last 70 or 80 years, in ways that are a profound challenge, both to Western Civilization and to America as we know it."

Christianity appears to be the primary target of the attacks, Gingrich says.
See Video: Newt Gingrich talks about the threat to Christianity in our nation’s schools - Click Here Now

Special: Get Gingrich’s new video and see trailer Click Here Now

Gingrich says, "When you look at efforts to drive the cross off of public lands, efforts to drive [out] Nativity scenes. . . there are a number of places in America now where there is a great bias in favor of teaching children about Islam than there is about Christianity. You actually have schools today that will have a class on Islam but refuse to have a class on Christianity. I'll let you decide whether that's a bias."

With top-drawer cinematography complementing the real story of democracy's birth pangs, the DVD manages to avoid sounding the drumbeat of religiosity or politics.

"What we try to do is really put America in a historic setting," says Gingrich, himself a former college history professor. "These movies are not theological, they're not ideological."

The new DVD takes off where Gingrich's New York Times best-selling book “Rediscovering God in America” and its companion DVD by the same name left off.

Here are two more videos that I think are good.

Videos About the Emergent Teachings

I want to give you some videos to view to learn what others have to say about the teachings of the post-modernism and emergent teachings. Please view these in the order in which I have listed them.
I got these from You Tube.

On the same site where you view these videos, you will find others. You can look at them as you want. I just put these here to show you that many people are talking about this false teaching. It is not something of yesterday, rather it is a teaching of the now. We are experiencing it.

What Is Contemplative Prayer?

Today I want to make sure everyone knows just what contemplative prayer is, and why it is so dangerous. I am using data from the link I put with this post.

Contemplative Prayer—A mystical prayer practice that leads one into the "silence" but in actuality leads away from God.


Definition of Contemplative Spirituality: a belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is often wrapped in Christian terminology; the premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all).

The purpose of contemplative prayer is to enter an altered state of consciousness in order to find one's true self, thus finding God. This true self relates to the belief that man is basically good. Proponents of contemplative prayer teach that all human beings have a divine center and that all, not just born again believers, should practice contemplative prayer.

                     "Contemplative consciousness," says [Thomas] Merton, is "a trans-cultural, trans-religious, trans-formed consciousness … it can shine through this or that system, religious or irreligious"(Thoughts on the East, p.34)

                     "Sparked by Eastern meditative techniques, today's version of centering prayer is bent on stilling the mind."


A Quiet Revolution—JODI MAILANDER FARRELL


Listen to What Contemplatives Have To Say About This Form of Prayer and the Contemplative Lifestyle.


"For Fr. Bede, being universal meant to be centered and grounded. He generated this universality of heart through his daily practice of meditation and contemplative prayer, and this opened him ever more to the myths, symbols and teachings of the other great religions of the world."

Man, Monk, Mystic by Pascaline Coff, O.S.B. Speaking of Bede Griffiths.


"This understanding of the unity of the human family is central to Christianity. Our spiritual journey, especially contemplative prayer, together with its practices for daily life, are processes of becoming aware of just how profound that unity is with God, ourselves, other people, other living beings, the earth, and all creation." Thomas Keating in The Transformation of Suffering

"... beyond our methods and understanding is an ultimate reality that is open to all people regardless of their religious traditions. The overwhelming sense of this groundbreaking conference was the unifying force of a contemplative prayer practice."

Jena Hatchett WCCM 2001

This shows you why this type of prayer is so dangerous. It leads one away from the true God and opens him up to evil spirits, witchcraft, mind-altering myths.  It denies the need for Jesus Christ as our Saviour.

Did Jesus instruct his followers to empty their minds through contemplative prayer?



On the contrary He said,


"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your MIND."


Matthew 22:37 [NKJV]

I will write more about this type of prayer and about the things that are leading our nation into a one world religion as well as a one world government in future writings.
