Mankind Has Ceased to Do Good, Thinking God Will Not See The Sins They Commit

As I am going through the “Lauds” section of prayer today, I was reading this and it sounds just like mankind of today (and pretty much of what Psalm 14:1 echos as well).

It is amazing how BLIND humans are, even those who profess to know God and His Son (Luke 7:21) ; how much evil we allow into our lives, and just ignore it, or think those little vices and sins mean nothing to the LORD…

If sin was not an issue to the LORD God, mankind can live whatever way he would please to, and the LORD would not convict and sentence man to an eternal damnation. Why also then, would He have sent His Son Jesus (Yeshua), to the Earth, taken away from the eternal glory He already had with His Father from the Beginning (Jn. 1:1-4, 14; Colossians 1:13-20) only to be disrespected, rejected, and treated like dirt, even being MURDERED by mankind, if sin wasn’t something that stood in the way of having a relationship with the LORD Most High?

Even the angels who sinned, would have “gotten away” with all of what they have done–Lucifer (Is. 14:12), Samjaza, Artaqifa, Armen, Kokabel, Turael, Azazel, and all the others who rebelled against the Most High (see 1Enoch Chapters 6-8; 15; 66 and also Gen. 3 and 6:1-5), and did abominable acts like deceiving and lying to Adam and Eve, but also procreating with human women, making to themselves offspring who end up being even worse than they were, being half-breeds and beasts who some still now roam the earth (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6); to get themselves not only removed from the Divine Council (Ps. 82:1; Deut. 32:8-9), but forever sentenced to the eternal flames come the Time of Judgment (Ps. 82:6-7; Rev. 20:10-15.

The LORD GOD has a way of allowing man the gift of “free will”–to CHOOSE who he will serve–either those evil ones who have “gifted” to mankind things those rebellious sons of God never should have shared with them, in exchange for their souls, making war, spilling blood, doing more abominable acts than ever before-only to lead to both the angels and the humans’ entrance into the eternal fires–
OR–

Choosing to humble themselves before Him, repenting of their sins and transgressions, accepting the free GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE through His Son Yeshua HaMaschiach, Who suffered, died and rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures, in order THAT mankind would have a way back to the Father, and a spiritual REBIRTH (Jn. 3:3, 5, 7) that was lost at the Fall of mankind.

WHICH one will YOU choose?

Will you be like those sons of God who had EVERYTHING — they not only were created like we were, but SAW the Most High, LIVED in GLORY with Him, felt the LOVE and JOY of being with the Triune Godhead–and then gave it all up, and for what? To SIN, only to end up in the eternal flames??🔥🔥🔥🔥

WE have that opportunity to live in ETERNAL GLORY with the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, IF we choose wisely to TRUST and OBEY in His WORD–ALL of it, even if we do not understand it al right now. ALL He wants from us, is to TRUST and OBEY, and LIVE out the life He chose for each one of us.

🙏I pray that you think long and hard on this, because SOON, and VERY soon, That Day WILL come, when the LORD God will have to FINISH what He started here (Is. 24:21-22; Jer. 30:7-8; 46:10; Ez. 30:3-4; Joel 1:15; 3:12-14; Zephaniah 3: 11-13; Rom. 2:16; Matt. 7:22-23; 24:30-31; Jn. 12:48; Rev. 20:8-9). PLEASE do not give in to the desires of the flesh, the world, and the lies that the angels who sinned, and their offspring–the demons–deceive the whole world with!! You WILL end up in the same fires as they, for they ALSO will be judged(2Pet.2:4)!!

CHOOSE LIFE, by choosing to be a child of the ✡MOST HIGH GOD-Adonai Elohim Tz’vaot, and ✝YESHUA, His Son, and by accepting Him into your life, you will then have 🕊RUACH HaKODESH-the HOLY SPIRIT–🔥📖LIVE within you, leading and guiding you TO eternal life, as long as you TRUST Him with ALL your heart, and lean NOT to your OWN understanding (Prov. 3:5-6), as those rebellious sons of the Most High did, and transgressed before the LORD God, and lost all their positions in glory with Him, and are sentenced to an eternal Hellfire.

I put the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin here along with the English, so that you can clearly see it is written in the ancient languages. I use Blue Letter Bible to study these languages, and you would do well to utilize them or Logos for your Bible and ancient biblical language word studies.

Wretched Sinner Called Holy by the LORD

I was up sometime after 12:45am, and could not go back to sleep. So I did what I normally do–talk to Abba about anything and everything.

One of the obvious subjects was family–how especially after the events of the past week, I felt more ostracized than ever, not even getting a phone call to let me be part of birthday celebrations and to see my grandson. I’ve asked the LORD to forgive me countless times, just in case there was something I missed. It has been almost a year that this estrangement has been going on without any improvement, and yes, although I know it is also the work of the unseen evil ones, us humans have a lot to answer for at the Judgment of how we treated one another.

So as I sat there crying, the Spirit said to me, “Do you not realize that the more holy and obedient you have become, the further people have distanced themselves from you? It is a natural occurrence, especially in the light of your improved faith walk.”

😳Holy?? I immediately said, “LORD, I am not that holy of a person, especially 🙄with my mouth–not that it’s bad, but I know you don’t like certain words I say. I do not consider myself to be “holy”, but a wretched sinner who is saved by Yeshua HaMaschiach, my Lord and my King.”

The Spirit said, “The light that has emanated from you since your improved faith walk with Me, has gotten brighter; to a point where now that when your light shines, it makes them look away, because they do not like the brightness that ends up exposing their own sins. Hence their distancing themselves from you, to the point where they would rather be walking around in utter darkness rather than having the Light on them.”

“Also, you remember what was said about this time–about the coldness of men’s hearts and how they would be.”

“Yes–Matthew 24:12–“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” “That’s exactly what has happened, and I know not only to myself, but to so many others of my brothers and sisters. It’s just a horrible feeling of loss.”

“What is funny is that you, Daughter, consider others holy (like St. John Vianney, the prophets, other Christians down the centuries, etc.), yet do you not think they struggled in their sins as well? They sure did. I said in My Word, “Be holy as I am holy”–you are doing so by following Me and My Word. That is all I ask.”

“So then, LORD, I hope that our lights shine even brighter, as the world gets darker and darker with this evil. Just like I see more stars, the darker the night becomes.”

As sinful as we all are, the LORD God sees us as He called us to be–a holy people, yet having to discipline ourselves constantly (although it does get a little easier 😊 as time goes on) to make sure we stay on that Path He called us to, because after all, isn’t He worth it? After all He has done for us–even to the point of sacrificing His Son for us–should we not make a concerted effort to live out holy lives for Him, to “let your lights shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father Who is in Heaven”? (Matt. 5:16) He most certainly IS worth it.

I may still feel weird (even by the LORD calling me “holy”) being called “holy”, but I understand that’s just because I still see myself as I was years ago. One of the last things He said to me very early this morning was, “That is the way you WERE; you are no longer that person.”🥰 He sees me for who I am NOW in Christ. A sinner, yes, yet one who recognized the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as Someone who I could never want to live without. 💖✡📖✝🕊💖

Let The HOLY SPIRT Lead and Guide You Each and Every Day Through HIS WORD

This has been on my heart for some time. When I saw today’s “Daily Verse” on The Catholic Company’s devotional today (of all places!) the Spirit inside of me decided today was the day to speak about a certain issue that I noticed in the Church, specifically, the Roman Catholic Church, and the more specifically, the Latin (Extraordinary) form of the Mass.

Now, before you start raising eyebrows and want to silence me (because 🙄that’s what normally happens), HEAR what the HOLY SPIRIT has to say about this part of worship in HIS Holy Scriptures.

Yes—this is a “Holy Spirit” rant within me, and I am going to let Him say whatever He wants to say, because honestly, the TIME is SHORT, and God’s people are in such a mess spiritually and Scripturally, that only the grace and mercy of God is keeping us ALL (and I do mean ALL!) from eternal perdition at this point (“as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one…”—Rom. 3:10; see also Rom. 3:20,23)

The ONE main problem I have encountered as a Catholic growing up, and now again as a revert, is how most of the the faithful church goers do NOT read their Bibles. Church history teaches that the laity were not taught to read and study the Word of God. Hence they do not know the very verses I just copied from Scripture on the image (notice the man’s outstretched😉hands?😏)I purposely chose.

So certain authoritarian figures of the Church down through the millennia, made decisions on what the celebrant can do, and what the laity can and cannot do, without paying mind to what the LORD GOD said WE can do, in His Word.

This has been the crux of the problem with the hierarchy of the Church almost since the beginning.

“Man’s interpretation”—I’ve 🙄heard that until my ears have almost bled, yet the very ones that say that, know very little themselves what is IN the Holy Scriptures!

It🤔seems like every human being that desired to follow the LORD God, accepted Jesus Christ as (or at least😕should have)BOTH Savior AND Lord of their lives, FORGOT what the Lord Jesus said was to happen when a person truly becomes a child of the Most High, the LIVING God: the Holy Spirit (Jn. 3:3,5,7) comes INTO that person, ONLY because that person made a DECISION (if it was a true and certain one!) to accept the Lord Jesus, and then the Holy Spirit DWELLS IN that person (Jn. 14:16-17; 16:13-14; Rom. 8:9;
1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Tim. 1:14).

There’s no hard saying here enough to confuse anyone—it’s simple enough to understand that because of Christ’s death, resurrection and ascension, and then sending the Holy Spirit on Pentecost to the disciples (Acts 1:5, 8; 2:1-4), that was appointed time HE was to LIVE IN us! The Lord Jesus not only made it so, but He told us BEFORE He even did it(Jn. 14:16-17; 15:26; 16:7-11).

And if there is one thing that has irritated me more than most other things pertaining to the faithful—that I, even I as a wretched sinner saved by the grace and mercy of God, yet I must “occupy” (Lk 19:13) until the Lord Jesus comes back, and “endure to the end” (Matt. 24:13) in order to be saved and counted as one of the righteous—is that many who profess faith in the Lord Jesus, have forgotten that it is the HOLY SPIRIT Who (notice the capital “W”??) is to LEAD and GUIDE us, teaching us these very things that are in Scripture, bringing them to our MEMORY (Jn. 14:26), so that we would not end up making all these exegetical and hermeneutical errors in Scripture?? But it is like no one even BELIEVES that the Holy Spirit, the THIRD PERSON in the TRIUNE GODHEAD, even DWELLS in them!!

From the top down when it comes to ecclesiastical hierarchy, from whatever “branch” of Christianity one hails from (there never was supposed to be all these splits in the Church!), EVERY person, no matter what title they took for themselves, or someone gave them, WILL be held responsible and accountable for NOT teaching the faithful the REAL hermeneutical and exegetical Holy Spirit-inspired teachings of Holy Scripture!! The LORD God never meant for man to just “figure it out” on his own—THAT is exactly why the Holy Spirit was to LIVE IN each and every true child of the LIVING God who “called upon the name of the Lord to be saved (Rom. 10:13; Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21)”. The problem is, most human spirits, even those who call themselves believers of God, do not HUMBLE themselves enough to even trust the LORD God that He WOULD carry out His Word, and dwell with them 24/7.

If a person who professes to know the LORD God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit, thought about that enough each and every day, that they actually HAVE the LIVING HOLY GOD dwelling INSIDE of them, they (we!) would all most likely watch more what we would think, do, and say. Maybe, just maybe, IF we “had ears to hear” what the Spirit said to us (Rev. 2:11,17; 3:6,13, 22), and actually paid ATTENTION to HIS interpretation of Scripture, instead of what we all “think” it means, we would not have split up thousands of times, and had so many different Christian sects out there in the world, to further confuse those who know not the LORD, and also drive them farther away from ever wanting to have a relationship with Him. 🤨😣😞

So what did this all have to do with my pointing out the earlier verses about “lifting holy hands” and “singing” and “dancing” -especially within the temple of the LORD?

WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD (1 Cor. 3:16-17,19; 2 Cor. 6:16; Eph. 2:21). WE are commanded to PRAISE Him, WORSHIP Him, give Him thanks and LIFT UP our holy hands to Him in both worship and when we pray. The early church, and even those worshippers in the Old Testament did not seem to have issues like we have now—who’s raising their hands in church, who’s folding their hands a certain way, who’s singing louder or who’s NOT singing, who’s dancing in the aisles, who’s praying in a certain ecclesiastical language (Hebrew, Latin, Aramaic, Greek) in church—or not; who’s better than who because they go to a certain church and sing certain songs, whether an organ is playing, or someone plays a guitar, or NO instruments are “allowed” to be played (like some of the Amish, for example), but only singing is permitted, etc. WHO made up all these extra “rules”?? WHERE are they in Scripture?? And WHO (hint-I know it is demonic-a fiery dart🤨) started all the arguments about NOT reading the Bible because we may not be able to understand it all, so it was better for only CERTAIN people of the clergy to read it TO us, and explain it??

THIS is the reason why man’s so-called “Christian witness” to the unsaved and unregenerate looks so hypocritical! Because almost ALL believers in Christ were not trained by their clergymen (who they themselves NO longer were LISTENING!) to HEAR what the Spirit says—so how can anyone who is under the authority of such men of God, ever possibly KNOW such things in Scripture, if they are not taught them? And how is a person of God to GROW and MATURE in their spirit man, ALSO knowing how to fight the very enemy of our souls—the one who desires to see mankind FAIL miserably, and end up in the same eternal fire as they are destined to be in? HOW does one solve all these problems, and many more (individual, marital, family, church, social, global)? One who truly has the Spirit of the LIVING God inside of them would not get all flustered about people lifting up their hands in church to pray or praise God, because they would already know that Scripturally, it is permitted, and God is pleased with such that praise Him, whether they desire to lift their hands in the sanctuary, or not. The important point of it is—they ARE to pray to Him, and also praise and glorify Him!

DO what the WORD OF GOD tells you to do. “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. With my WHOLE HEART I seek You; let me not wander from YOUR (not man’s!) commandments! I have stored up YOUR WORD in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O LORD; TEACH me Your statutes! With my lips I declare all the rules of Your mouth…I will meditate on YOUR precepts and fix my eyes on YOUR ways…I will delight in Your statutes; I will NOT forget Your Word”(Psalm 119:9-13, 15-16).

ALLOW the HOLY SPIRIT to be that ONE Spirit that Paul the Apostle spoke of in Ephesians 4:4-6, to lead and guide you. There was only supposed to be ONE BODY of CHRIST—as it is written in Ephesians 4-6, “There is ONE body and ONE Spirit—just as you were called to the ONE Hope that belongs to your call—ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all, Who is over all and THROUGH all and IN all.”

But, is He really “IN” all professing Christians? LOOK at their “fruit”—see if it is good, or rotten. That is what the Lord Jesus told us to do, is it not? Are those who are in leadership within the BODY of Christ (no matter what sect they are in, or hail from—they will ALL be held accountable—James 3:1; 1 Peter 4:5; Heb. 13:17). ALL of us will be held accountable for what we learned not only from those leaders, but also ON OUR OWN, and have to stand before the Lord Jesus at the Day of Judgment (Matt. 12:35-37)—none of us will escape that.

If this post has been something that has made you think about where you stand with the Lord Jesus, and whether or not you fully have the Holy Spirit leading and guiding you, then spend time reading all these verses I put in this post, including these here: Ps. 143:10; Ez. 37:1; Rom. 8:4; Matt. 4:1; Acts 8:29; 10:19-20; 13:4; 16:7; 20:22; Gal. 4:6; 5:22; 1 John 3:24; Rev. 4:2, 17:3. SPEND TIME in prayer to the LORD God, and ASK (as the Lord Jesus told us to do in Matt. 7:7) the Holy Spirit to TEACH, GUIDE, CORRECT, INSTRUCT, CHASTISE (where necessary), ENCOURAGE, and COMFORT you, each and every waking day henceforth. Ask Him to REMIND you of His Word, by also READING and STUDYING and MEDITATING (Joshua 1:8-9) on it, so that it will embolden and empower you to speak that very Word of God out, when the Spirit INSIDE you, desires for it to be SHARED with others, as you have seen me do (because He leads me to do it!).

I lovingly CHALLENGE all of you who call yourselves children of God, and followers of Christ, to make sure you have the ONE Holy Spirit leading and guiding you daily. Also, have Him point out anything that is NOT to be in you, and ask the Holy Spirit to deliver you from any and all evil spirits that have managed to influence you in whatever way, making you stray from His Word, and causing confusion and contention with it. Allow the Spirit of God to “sanctify” you, “cleansing” you “by the washing with water through the Word”, so that He can “present you to Himself as a glorious Church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless” (Eph. 5:26).

Are We In the Time of “The Beginning of Sorrows”?

I put two pics here of Scriptures that have been mentioned, so that you can read and hopefully retain in your heart, what they say.

It is evident of the longer one, that THIS generation (which I am pretty sure is the last; if we are not, then the LORD will spare one more time at least, to move mankind forward into Time, until “the appointed Time” of the End) and the way it has been in the last few years, SO vile, violent, arrogant, full of hatred of God and His Word AND His people, that unfortunately, this prayer of the Psalmist has not been answered.

There are those who have (and still are, thank God!) waking up to realization that we ARE on a increasingly rapid downspiral of humanity. The days of peace, obedience, and love for God and His Son are quickly being diminished, and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah (“as in the days of Lot”-Luke 17:28) and the days of Noah (Luke 17:26), are NOW upon us, and INCREASING.

But you need to read that WHOLE passage in Luke 17:26-30, for in verse 29, because of how the people were behaving in Lot’s day, the LORD God held back His anger no longer, and the day He charged two of His angels to get Lot and his family out of Sodom, “it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven, and destroyed them all” (vs. 29).

THAT is what is yet to come, because verse 30 states, “So it will be on the Day when the Son of Man is revealed.”

The Lord Jesus TOLD us 2000+years ago, that ALL the vile acts that we see INCREASING right now, as we live and breathe on this Earth TODAY, 2023, WOULD happen–and they ARE.

So do you realize what that means??

That means, HE is 100% RIGHT in ALL of His Word. Remember, He IS “THE” Word of God–He cannot leave any of what was to come, “out” just because it may “offend” some people. ALL of it WILL happen, just as the Scriptures said it would.

And it looks like that we ARE that “generation” to see and hear many of these “latter day” events come to pass.

So if you still have doubts about WHO the Lord Jesus is, WHO the Father is, and WHO the Holy Spirit is, and have concerns whether or not the Word of God is REAL–buckle up, buttercup (and I say that with all love and respect-I really do!💖), because

YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET. We are entering into what is called, “the BEGINNING of sorrows” (Matt. 24:8), which happens BEFORE the time of the great Tribulation. Basically, it is the “woman in labor” and she is “contracting” even more so, as that time moves forward to the coming of the Anti-Christ.

After all, the world’s spiritual atmosphere must be in such a vile and ungodly state, as to want to ACCEPT this “man of sin, son of perdition” (2 Thess. 2:3).

I think we are pretty much “there”…I ended up having my daughter Ashley via c-section (she was breech), but I still was very much aware of the contractions that I should have had. I’d 🤔say this world is between 6-8 (15-20 minutes apart), leaning heavier on the 8(10-15minutes) , especially for what has taken place with all the vile Sodom and Gomorrah acts in the past year or so. It is quickly advancing towards those days of Noah and Lot which each and every passing day here in June, 2023.

Any woman (and I do mean ONLY women!) that has had contractions due to childbirth, KNOWS what I am talking about.
Those last couple of numbers (8-10) can happen very quickly. Bottom line–If you’re approaching contractions less than 5 minutes apart (active labor), you better be on your way to the hospital, or else you’re having that baby at home!

Can you imagine what 6 months from now is going to look like?

Will we approach near the “10” (less than 5 minutes) by that time?
No one knows, but I would seriously get your spiritual life in order now. Once the “birth pangs” start=once those contractions begin, sooner or later that baby is going to arrive on the scene. What has been foretold in such passages as Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, Daniel 12:1-4, 2 Tim. 3:1-5, 1 Thess. 5:2-5, Isaiah 2:12 (these are but a few).

It will increase in ungodliness, because the Lord Jesus TOLD us to EXPECT more of it, and lawlessness (which we are already living in right now!).

Do yourselves a favor, and make sure that you ARE on the side of the LORD God Almighty, and that the Captain of the Host, Adonai Elohim Tzevaot, is Your Savior, Lord, Master, and KING. Keep Him first and foremost in your lives NOW, from this day forward, if you have been lax in doing so. I beseech you now more than ever, to please make sure the Lord Jesus IS not only Savior, but LORD of your life. 🙏📖✝

So when you DO say, “Lord, Lord”–HE knows you MEAN it, and it is not just words coming out of your mouth (Luke 7:21).

We ARE Spirit, Soul, and Body, in That Order

Every human being who has lived on Earth, is primarily a SPIRIT BEING.

We are 1)SPIRIT, 2)SOUL, 3)BODY, in that order (1 Thess. 5:23).

The LORD GOD Almighty is the FATHER of spirits (Heb. 12:9).

The spirit of a human returns unto the Father when the human’s body has expired (Eccl. 12:7).

The LORD sends it either (now that Christ has been risen from the dead) to the “Hell” portion of Sheol temporarily until both body and soul (Matt. 10:28) will be raised and judged at the White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8), and from there, the spirit, soul, and body of the person will endure eternity in the Lake of Fire;

OR–if the person was a believer in the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, and His Word (granted, 99.9% of all humans living on earth sinned), accepting the Lord Jesus as both Lord and Savior of their life (Rom. 10:9-10, 13; Acts 2:21), and lived a life according to what the Father commanded in His Word, then being a believer, they would “enter in the joy of the Lord (Matt. 25:23). “The one who conquers will have this heritage (Rev.21:3-4), and I will be his God and he will be My son” (Rev. 21:7).

EVERY person who does not only PROFESS Christ as Lord (Matt. 7:21), but actually LIVES the life of a believer, and is NOT ashamed of Him as some are (those who are ashamed of Christ will be like those in Luke 9:26 and Mark 8:38), will be rewarded with not only a new life and Spirit here on Earth (John 3:3,5,7), but will go on to see all that inexpressible beauty and glory that Revelation 21 and 22 speaks about, when it comes to the New Heaven and New Earth.

They get to spend all of Eternity with the Lamb who was slain, and sit at the Marriage Supper (Rev. 19:7,9), because they were part of the Bride of Christ (Eph. 5:24-27), and although a metaphor there in those verses, believers know that they are to keep themselves as spotless (sinless) as they can, when they are presented to the Father by the Son as the “Bride of Christ”. Hence the reason why Paul prays that the believer in 1 Thess. 5:23 will keep their WHOLE spirit, soul, AND body “blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

BUT–the person MUST have a NEW SPIRIT (Acts 4:31; Luke 11:13) dwelling within their spirit in order to have Eternal life. THAT Spirit IS the Holy Spirit, living and dwelling within them. He ONLY dwells within those who have CONFESSED CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.
1 Cor. 6:19 plainly says that our bodies are to be TEMPLES of the HOLY SPIRIT. He is to teach, guide, correct, and remind us (Jn. 16:13; 14:26) of all that Christ in His Word, wanted us to know and learn.

The world, the flesh, and the devil (James 3:15; 1 Jn. 2:16) has made 99.9% of the human population think it is supposed to be BODY, soul, and spirit (and there are some humans who do not believe in anything spiritual), but it is NOT.

The body of a person becomes a VESSEL for other spirits who never belonged there–demonic entities who found a “crack” due to unconfessed sin in the person’s life, and thereby made themselves “at home” with that person. More can come in if the person is unaware of what is going on spiritually, until that person ends up vexed, obsessed, depressed, oppressed, or-worst of all-possessed. The person ends up in a “spiritual prison” right in their own BODY, being a “slave” to those sins, surrounded by evil entities that will NOT give that body up, until that person either confesses Christ, or those demons kill them off.

Our bodies were meant to be vessels of honor (2 Tim. 2:21) for the Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to dwell within us-NOT dishonor, nor being taken over by evil spirits, who only cause chaos and seek to steal, kill, and destroy the human vessel (Jn. 10:10).

The SPIRIT of a person is the part that goes on to live FOREVER–whether in Eternity with Christ, or in Hell “prepared for the devil and his angels” ( Matt. 25:41), and ultimately, in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15). You either are in darkness (evil) or light (Christ).

I am working on a book about the Holy Spirit, and pretty much everything else I can speak about concerning spirits, and how we either allow the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD into our lives, or else we WILL end up with evil spirits controlling us in one way or another. After all, it IS of the Lord’s doing for me to work on this, as plain as my last name (Geist = spirit), that He revealed to me back in 2018.

I hopefully will be done with that book by the end of this summer, prior to starting my PhD in Bible Exposition.

No matter whether a person believes it or not, we ARE in a VERY SPIRITUAL realm, hidden by much PHYSICAL, earthly “junk” to distract us.

🙏I pray every day for the Lord Jesus to save as many souls from that prison of darkness and evil, and bring them to His light of Eternal life. 🙏Set them free, Lord Jesus; please set those souls free!!

“The LORD looks down from Heaven; He sees all the children of man;

From where He sits enthroned He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,

He Who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.”

Ps. 33:13-15

“Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those that fear Him, on those who hope in His steadfast love,

That He may deliver their souls from death and keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and shield.
For our heart is glad in Him,
Because we trust in His Holy Name.”

Ps. 33:18-21

WE who are HIS are WAITING for Him to DELIVER us from all this evil, and the evil ones that are increasingly revealing themselves (Matt. 6:13).

As we wait, we are “looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:3).

He IS coming back. The Lord KEEPS His promises.

Fight the Fires of Hell with the Holy Spirit FIRE of God!

This came to me as I was waking up this morning, and speaking to the Lord about all the evil that is plaguing this world.

I mentioned to Him (as I do every day as I wake up) how much I’d rather be HOME with Him, than be here, and that I cannot wait for That Day.

His exact response at that moment was, “YOU fight FIRE with FIRE; The consuming fire of God fights against the fires of Hell.”

As I started my morning routine and continued to think more about this and discuss this with the Holy Spirit, I felt led to make this statement.

We ARE in a fight for eternal souls; either mankind ends up in “the lake of fire and brimstone” (Rev. 20:10) because they have chosen NOT to follow God and His Word, or
They will become a child of the Living Eternal Godhead while here on Earth, and have the fire of the Holy Spirit of God living and working within them, for the remainder of their time here on Earth.

Again, the choice is up to each individual human spirit, WHERE they end up, and what kind of FIRE they give themselves up to.

Allowing Correction from the Holy Spirit Leads to Less Division in the Body of Christ

I ready today’s “Days of Praise” devotional from ICR, and it rang loudly in my heart and spirit. This is what I have been seeing happening in the churches more and more as the decades have gone by. More church leaders are willing to give up the very callings of God on their lives, and no longer teaching the truths of the Bible, in order to change with the times and follow Satan’s lead instead of God’s. It is creating a recipe not only for spiritual disaster, but imminent JUDGMENT from the Almighty that is prophesied to happen. This is the time of “mercy” that the Lord God has given this generation, since the time of His Son Jesus’ death on the Cross, and resurrection. But this time will not last forever.

Judgment WILL come, and as St. Peter wrote in his letter, “For it is time for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do NOT obey the gospel of Christ?” (1 Peter 4:17). The judgment will start with God’s own—His leaders of the Church, and those who have at one time, committed themselves to teach His Word. Then will be all those who say they are Christians, from whatever branch of Christianity they hail from.

For the Lord Jesus, it will be both a time of happiness and sadness, because He will end up condemning some who have said, “Lord, Lord” (Matthew 7:21), but never really followed Him due to their fear of being “offensive” and hurting people’s feelings with the truth of His Word. They will find out the hard way that there was always to be division and offence in this world, because the truth of the Word of God is exactly what it is written as in Hebrews 4:12–“For the Word of God is LIVING and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, PIERCING to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” God’s Word is hated by those who follow the evil ones who deceive them and turn them away from His Truth, and the father of lies himself—Satan.

May we always strive more each day, to have an ear to “Hear what the (Holy) SPIRIT says to the churches” (Rev. 2:11a), so we do not get caught up in either learning or teaching wrong doctrines, and causing more division between the Body of Christ. Allow the Holy Spirit to do His job here—“When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, BUT WHATEVER HE HEARS (from the LORD God) HE WILL SPEAK, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take what is Mine and declare it to you” (Jn. 16:13-14).

TRUTH offends. TRUTH of God’s Word causes divisions, BUT those who are OFFENDED by those truths, are not really looking to be humbled by His Word. Their hearts are hardened like Pharaoh in Moses’ day. We all know how THAT turned out for him.

A major part of what the LORD God has been doing with me these past few years is written right in 2 Timothy 3:16–learning the right doctrine, for reproof, correction, for instruction in righteousness…”. He has shown me were my errors were, the corrections that needed to be made in my spiritual walk with Him, and now, after “maturing” over these past 6+ years, I will now be able to speak more about it, and pass on the information to you. But truth always comes with some pain—the “faithful wounds of a friend” (Prov. 27:6). I’d rather offend with the loving truth of God’s Word, than deceive someone with the hateful lying tongue of the enemy.

The Body of Christ has been split thousands of times over, that shreds of the Truth of Scripture has been spread out amongst the Body; some have much of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, but are lacking in doctrine, while others have the richness and beauty of the liturgical truths, but do not pray through the Holy Spirit as they ought, leaving them powerless against demonic attacks and also personal growth and maturity in the Word of God.

The Body of Christ has been too busy fighting with one another, causing divisions, making their own gains in this world, and forsaking the reason why they were called to preach and or teach the Gospel of Christ to begin with. Satan loves that, and he makes sure that he keeps them chained up with just enough of the worldly lusts to make them a vessel of dishonor, instead of one to be honored by the Lord Jesus, at the end of their time serving Him on Earth (Romans 9:21-23; 2 Timothy 2:20-22).

Decide whether or not you will be the one who will cause divisions because you want to live in the worldly sense while saying you are a Christian, not becoming a vessel of honor, or–

Be like JESUS, Who caused divisions and offences BECAUSE He not only spoke the truth of the Word, but taught it and LIVED it.

I choose to be like JESUS. If I am to cause divisions, it is only because those who do not like to be called out for their sins of the flesh, the world, and all the lusts they love to live with, hate when I speak the TRUTH. It is “offensive” to them. TOO BAD.

I’d rather be right with the LORD God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit at the End of Days and the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10) as a true believer and servant of Elohim and His Maschiach, than standing naked before Him at the White Throne Judgment Seat (Rev. 20:11-15), hearing those words, “DEPART from Me, for I never knew you” (Matthew 7:23).

The choice is yours to make.

I am Truly Never Alone; my Father is With Me Always

I just finished my Master’s Degree in Biblical Languages yesterday. I should have been there for the commencement at Liberty University, but I did not want to go alone. It is also Mother’s Day weekend, so emotionally for me, it ends up being a double “whammy”. I should be thrilled and excited to want to celebrate such events, but honestly, my heart is just not in it.

This is the second time I could have celebrated a major event in my life (last time was my Bachelor’s), but because for other reasons, I did not want to go to that commencement ceremony. Nevertheless, no one in my family did or said anything to celebrate the huge achievement with me. But I did hope that there would be a special dinner out with close family to celebrate such an event. It just did not happen. I was a bit surprised, but considering at the time all that happened that previous year (2020), I let it go. I figured there was so much more other things on everyone’s mind, it just was quickly forgotten by them and life moved on.

Now this major achievement has be accomplished, and although because I put something on social media to alert others to finishing my Master’s and I did receive many a congratulations, I fear the same thing will happen again—it will be here and gone without some type of celebration. Who wants to go to a graduation commencement all by themselves anyway?

Unfortunately, I do not have a spouse; my daughter stopped all communication with me last year (end of July), at first acting like she needed time to think about what needed to be said to me on whatever it was she was upset about, but never made a concerted effort to reconcile any differences with me. So I have lost both her and my grandson (soon to be 6 years old) in one fell swoop out of my life. It’s like the breath was taken out of me when that happened.

I have and continue to reach out to her to let her know I love and miss her so much, but so far, to no avail. I have also tried to keep in touch with my other family members, letting them know they are in my thoughts with either a card or text. I’d love to even talk to them on the phone, and have repeatedly said that they can call me whenever, but my phone hardly ever rings. At this point, I’d take a text of “hello” over nothing at all. It seems like from 2020 forward, Jesus’ words, “And because lawlessness will increase, The love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:12, ESV), really have come to pass. And it is not just in my family that this has been happening. I have heard it from many people that they are suffering similar heartbreaks in their families as well.

This Mother’s Day will be even a sadder one for me. I do have a step-daughter (I’d rather just call her my daughter) from a previous marriage, as well as a step-son. Since I am away this weekend due to an extended family member’s celebration, I am able to see my “oldest” daughter and her family, and be with her on Mother’s Day. It wasn’t planned to happen that way, but the Lord I know, had something to do with it. He knew of my sadness and broken heart, and made sure I would not be alone this weekend. He truly shows me all the time His love and concern for me.

I also am missing my mother Rose Marcelli. She passed back in April of 1991, but any child who has lost a mother can tell you it still feels like it was yesterday when they left this world. My mom always made sure that whether it was a birthday, holiday, etc., we were celebrating something, and together, especially going on family vacations together. They were awesome times, and I have so many good memories from them. If not just our immediate family, then it was a party with many family members gathered, so we could all celebrate together. I most certainly miss those days.

Most of my family is gone; all I have left are cousins. I will be able to see some of them actually later on today, as a matter of fact. It will be wonderful to see them at a happy event, rather than a sad one (usually wakes/funerals). I can only wish that we all would make a more concerted effort to stay in touch with one another. To have family is a gift from God, and to have the time to spend together with them should not be wasted.

Although I will be around many this weekend, and I am thankful to be invited to both a family party and backyard picnic, my thoughts will be also on those who I have lost, whether they are no longer here like my mom, or those who still are here physically, but do not have any desire to share their life with me any longer, like my daughter and her family. It continues to break my heart, but even the LORD God my Father reminds me now and then, that even as He cannot force Himself into a person’s life, neither can I do the same. Our love for those people will always be there, and never go away, even though they want nothing to do with us.

Would I have liked to celebrate my achievements with my friends and family, and gather us all together like my mom would have? Yes, but it certainly is not going to happen this weekend, nor the next, or the one after that. Is someone going to throw a party for me? No—my mom’s long gone, and I seriously doubt anyone else would step in and do something like that. I’d even would have just like to go to dinner with a bunch of people who care to be in my life. That would have been nice. But one day, hopefully some time this summer, maybe I can get some friends or family together, and we can have a nice day or evening out, celebrating not just my achievements, but all our lives, and just have a good time together.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of where the Lord Jesus said, “Give, and it shall be given unto you…” (Luke 6:38). This was not just about financial giving, but giving of yourself to others, in many different ways. You really do get blessed by giving to others, whether it be your money, your time, your kindness, etc.-whatever it happens to be. Somehow, the Lord makes sure it comes back to you, and in a greater amount. The giving part of it actually puts a smile on your face, knowing you are helping others in whatever capacity it is needed. I recently had an opportunity to do that. Suddenly, you forget (even if it is just for a minute or two) about that which saddens you, as you realize you just made someone else smile, knowing that you care about them enough to help them, or let them know you were thinking about them, or included them in a conversation, celebratory event, or even invite them out for a bite to eat. Just a card in the mail does wonders for a person; a lady friend of mine has a ministry of doing just that, and most of the time throughout the year, if it wasn’t for her thinking of me over the holidays and such (even my birthday) I would not receive any cards. Amazing how the Lord puts these people in our lives, to “fill the gap” of those who were there, and no longer are, for one reason or another.

So if you are reading this, and it strikes you one way or another, let me know. If you can relate, let me know. But we who have Christ in our lives must remember, that HE will NEVER leave nor forsake us, even if others do. He will always remember us, love us, care for us, encourage us, strengthen and comfort us, even if there was no one else in our lives. The Lord truly IS the One True Friend that sticks closer to us than a brother (or sister, mother, daughter, etc.).

On this Mother’s Day weekend, let us be thankful for who we do have in our lives, and remind them that they are loved and not forgotten. For those of us whose mothers have passed, I feel your sadness, pain, and the loneliness; BUT, some of us also do have some good memories of all the years we had our mothers in our lives. Let us keep those memories alive through the pictures we have of them, and all the times we had with them. But let us also thank the LORD God, His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, to move us forward in faith, hope and love, being the example of a child of God that we can possibly be for one another, as He desired us to be, for all those who we do have in our lives, whether they are a mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, best friend, cousin, etc. Showing our love to one another does wonders to the soul.

The LORD God IS our ROCK and FORTRESS!

I do “get” what the LORD God is attempting to do—wake every single person up out of the satanic spell we’ve been under since Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit. I may not like HOW the LORD is doing it, and how much of the evil He is allowing to be infiltrated into our lives right now, but He knows that some will finally “wake up” and realize that this life here on Earth was never supposed to be all that wonderful; especially not after what happened at the Fall—of Angels, and Humans. This is a broken, evil world, and eventually, the Lord needs to destroy it.

Seriously—since then, we lost the power and ability of our higher spiritual “functions”, if you will = close relationship with God, and those of us who have accepted His Son over the last two millennia, still have struggled to live a life that would please Him. The only way to regain some of those higher functions is having a relationship with the Lord Jesus, and NOT the illegal way some others manage to “tap into” those powers. It is ONLY through Jesus Christ. Period. Any other way is satanic and demonically induced.

The rest of the human population is walking around, still under that same Satanic “spell”, and in all reality ARE “the walking dead” – spiritually. They are very OPEN (and most do not know it!) to the very LEGAL demonic doorways in their lives, and every evil entity that finds a “legal” doorway, takes it. Hence the reason why there are more and more immoral people out there, saying and doing things that we never thought in our lifetime we would see or hear, but it’s happening!!

LAWLESSNESS IS abounding, as the Lord Jesus stated (Matt. 24:12). We cannot go hide under a rock somewhere and pretend it’s not going on!! We cannot go on with our own lives, and IGNORE the truth of the amount of evil there is, because ONE day, it very may well catch up with US, or someone we love and care about (esp those who do NOT have the Lord Jesus in their lives!)!

The only ROCK we should be clinging to, is the LORD God Almighty! HE is our ROCK, our fortress, and our deliverer!! (2 Sam. 22:2-3; Ps. 18:2)! HE alone is the ROCK of our salvation (Ps. 95:1)! He is our REFUGE (Ps. 62:7). We should remind ourselves that we ARE to be that “light” (Matt. 5:14; Jn. 1:5)to all those who are in the darkness (evil)! TELL them (and let us remind ourselves as well!) that The LORD lives, and blessed be our ROCK, and exalted be the God of OUR salvation! (Ps. 18:46)

If WE do not tell them, beloved—if WE do not INFORM and WARN them now, we WILL answer to the Judge of all the Earth (Gen. 18:25) for it. IF they refuse—If they choose NOT to REPENT, and go further into the evil that is increasing every day here (and the LORD God is allowing it for a reason!!), it eventually will destroy them.

Let us do our part to continue to inform and warn everyone, and tell them that they DO have a choice—and that choice is to accept the ROCK of AGES (Is. 26:4) into their lives—Jesus Christ!! HE is the ONLY way a human being is to avoid what is soon to come upon the Earth, and also, eternal damnation and destruction.
