Prophecies of Isaiah, Pt 3
There is coming a time though when the “root of Jesse” will reign over this world. Isaiah 11 clearly discusses a time in the future when true peace will prevail and it will prevail because of the fact that this “root of Jesse” will reign on the throne physically in Jerusalem over all nations. As we’ve discussed before, even during this time, sin will exist because people who have survived the Tribulation without dying will go into this time where Jesus reigns supreme. These human beings will continue to have the sin nature though saved and completely regenerated with the new life in Christ. This is why Jesus will need to rule with a “rod of iron” (Psalm 2:9, 27; Revelation 2:27; 12:5, etc.).
Today’s Prophet Who Comes with Signs and Wonders
The question all listeners should ask when hearing from someone claiming to be a “voice” of God is what is his/her message? Does that message align with what God teaches? Even if their message comes with signs and wonders that appear to be spiritual, but the message itself opposes God’s truth, it must be shunned. In fact, Moses went so far to say that a person who speaks in such a way, even with the presentation of signs/wonders, should be killed.
Proverbs is Filled with Comparisons Between Righteous and Unrighteous
The Bible constantly compares the righteous to the unrighteous. Read the Proverbs or the Psalms to gain a greater understanding of how God sees these two groups. Then ask yourself if you have been declared righteous by God Himself. That can only occur when you place your faith in Christ’s finished work on your behalf. You’re agreeing that you cannot save yourself and only by placing your faith in Jesus can you be saved at all, from an eternity without God. Romans 5:1 tells us, “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” We are justified because of faith in God, not because of works (Ephesians 2:8-10).
Speaking the Truth in Love
It’s easy for us to judge. It’s easy to want to pray the type of imprecatory prayer that David prayed. He can be excused because he did not have the entirety of Scripture at his disposal as we do. However, the Christian’s strength is in seeking God, in submitting ourselves to Him and allowing Him and His love for the lost work in and through us in order to reach the lost of this world. That is how He set things up and that is how He expects us to move through this world.
CNN Producer Admits Russia Story is Fake for Ratings
It’s an eye-opening video, one that will confirm to critically thinking people that the alleged Russia hacking is a created situation to increase ratings and bring down President Trump. It will not, however, convince anyone on the left who believes beyond doubt that the Russians did hack into our election in order to get Trump elected. The whole idea is preposterous since Russia benefited greatly from their dealings with Hillary during the Obama Administration. They would’ve continued to benefit had Hillary become president. Now, there is virtually no benefit for them, which speaks directly against the false notion that they wanted Donald Trump to become president. Makes absolutely no sense and this Project Veritas undercover unmasks the situation as a simply ratings ploy. If it was successful in taking down President Trump, that would’ve been fine with CNN as well.
Why Does a Closer Walk Often Mean Ethereal to So Many?
More Christians need to realize that knowing God is not through ecstatic experiences like speaking in tongues or some emotional high that we are to take as directing our steps. The life of a Christian is often mundane because it involves submitting ourselves to Him and His purposes, which means constantly pushing Self to the rear. This is not fun and anyone who tells you the process is fun may not be doing it right. I can guarantee you from Scripture that Self will do everything it can to be top dog! Paul says we should wrestle with it to subdue it (Romans 8:13; 1 Corinthians 9:27). This is exactly what Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. It was so intense, He sweated great drops of blood (Luke 22:39-46). Try to imagine that and yes, it is an actual medical situation where the stress or tension of a situation can dilate the blood vessels until it appears as though the person is bleeding from the forehead or face.
Does the Southern Baptist Convention Still Have a Stain On It? by Ed Dingess
What exactly are the SBC leaders doing? What exactly is William McKissic doing? Are we to think that unless the SBC adopts a resolution condemning something as obviously sinful as white supremacy that our members and churches may be deceived into adopting it? I find even the hint of such a suggestion outrageous.
Darkened Thinking Leads Only to Complete Lack of Truth
The subject of “walk-ins” is interesting because it actually lets people off the hook. People are no longer responsible for anything if a “walk-in” has exchanged places with the spirit that was originally housed in their bodies. This is garbage. Even when a person is possessed by demons, the person still has a self-awareness. They are still there. They did not leave their body and move to another place. They were overpowered by demonic activity and those “strong men” now reside in that person with their spirit. Only God can deliver them from that.
Walk-Ins? Really?
The subjects of walk-ins is a deceptive concept. The belief among many within the New Age is that many of our current leaders are “walk-ins”; individual spirits so advanced and who have chosen this specific time to be in adult bodies, that people follow them willingly while ignoring all of the illicit things they do for selfish gain. These leaders are often charismatic (not in the sign gifts sense), and because of it, they tend to mesmerize people. A coming delusion sent by God Himself will ensure this (2 Thessalonians 2:11).
Identity Politics Officially Enters the Southern Baptist Convention
When groups like SBC start believing the lies of the Left, we have a serious break with truth. It’s been a long, slow, steady slide for the SBC, but it appears that they have finally jumped the biblical shark because they are now going after “ghosts” and “goblins” that the Left claims are racist. SBC has bought the lie. Let’s keep tabs on SBC to determine whether or not more people of color will be invited into the vaunted higher positions that mainly white men have held for decades. That would be the proof of SBC’s intentions.
