The Spirit of God inspired Paul to write that sound or wholesome words are to be used. These words should carry the meaning that God intended us to have for His words: they should put faith in the hearts of His people. He wants them to believe the doctrine of Jesus when He said, “For whether is easier to say, thy sins be forgiven thee, or to arise and walk?” That doctrine was carried forth to James5: 13-15: “Is there any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church: and let them pray over him anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save (make whole) the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.”
The Word says that, when their sins were forgiven, they would be healed, and when healed, their sins forgiven; but that’s not what most Christians believe. Amos 8:11 -14 reads: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water; but of hearing the words of the Lord; and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east: they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy God. O Dan, liveth; and the manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall and never rise up again.” There is a famine in the land, according to Amos 8:11-14. The result of famine is sickness, and weakness, and premature death. God has heard the cry of His people come up to Him as they cry from their sick beds asking, “Why is He killing them, why are they dying? Why won’t He let them live so they can raise their families?” Families are crying, children are crying and praying, begging for healing.
People in bitterness, cursing God, blaspheming God because one of their relatives is dead; her baby is dead; his wife is dead; her husband is dead; his mother is dead. God has heard these prayers and He wants the people to know that they are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
The pastors are responsible for making the full intentions of His word known unto the people so they can have faith. If they don’t they will be held responsible before God for much of what is going on in the body of Christ. Ezekiel 34:1-4 reads: “And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds: Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe ye with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away; neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.” If you ask Christians, “Do you believe that God wants everyone saved?”, they would answer, “yes”. However, if you gave the meaning of the word “saved” –which is to be made whole, delivered, and healed—they are not sure. The people do not believe and cannot say absolutely that God wants everyone healed and protected because they have never believed that doctrine in their hearts.
All religious lies are catching up with the body of Christ. We are coming to a time when, as God has said in His word, the earth is reeling from the results of sin in it. There is an increase in hurricanes, storms and natural disasters, as God said there would be. As the birth pangs get closer and closer, there is an increase in the natural disasters. It is coming to the day of reckoning and God wants to prepare His people that they might live victoriously during the time of judgment on this earth.
He has not intended for them to die in the judgments poured out for sin, but to live through them in victory until He comes. Acts 17:11 reads, “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
I urge the reader to search out for himself or herself the Greek and Hebrew words used throughout this article in references are Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible and Vine’s Expository Dictionary of the Old Testament and New Testament. It is time for the people of Almighty God to seek Him with their whole hearts and to contend for the faith that was given to the first saints.
Today is the day of salvation, rescue or safety, physically or morally.
Ex 12:12-14
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever. KJV
A blood covenant
Ex 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
The plague (meaning a death stroke passed over them). While Moses was gone, they broke covenant by worshipping the golden calf, the main god of Egypt, getting drunk and dancing sexual dances as a form of worship. Twenty-three thousand were killed by sword, one thousand princes (rulers) were hanged up on poles until the down sun. Exodus 32:27
1 Cor 10:1-14
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. KJV John 14:30
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
The word prince means ruler, Satan is the one who runs this age, this world now Rev 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Matt 4:8-9
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, all these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
There is no such thing as ‘a Christian nation’ and never has been. The Hebrews broke covenant again Numbers 25:1-9,
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, slay ye everyone his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
It was HIGH VAULTED TENT with a SUNRAY on top, the sunray represented Nimrod’s penis, his wife claim that she became pregnant by a sunray. When the Moab’s daughters laid down to be penetrated by the Hebrew men, their butt (bottoms) formed a valentine.
I have an advertisement from the Jerusalem post international newspaper, they are asking for money to help the military. It says in part LTBI, the fund for strengthening Israel’s defence, up in the right corner is a valentine representing love, sex is not love. The whole world is already deceived, the word Easter in Acts 12:4, is the Greek word TO PASCHA meaning (PASSOVER)
Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. KJV
