WELCOME

Man is, always was, and always will be wicked and full of contempt. Even after the presence of the Lord comes upon him, there is a war between the new creature and the old man. The war between the flesh and the spirit will continue in each and every person until each have received the change which will come and can not be prevented. ----- The Lord, being omniscient, knew of the wickedness of man and his inborn tendency and the likelihood of his outcome. He also knew best that it was just, that the evil should not be removed from the earth, that through it many could be proven and tested whether they would keep the ways of the Lord or not.

He has given us multiple accounts of this fact. In particular is the repeated message in 2nd Kings and Isaiah. The historical account the Lord has given us of those who were disobedient and those who obeyed and trusted in the Lord is intended for our benefit. All of those who disobeyed and distrusted the Lord were taken captive by the enemy while true worshippers of the Lord remained completely protected and safe from the enemy and his attempted attacks. ----- We need to remember that Christ resides in all born again believers and not only those we say He is in. We must put on and keep on the new man while we continue to put off the old man through mortification of the body. We must let the peace of God rule us as we allow the Word of Christ enrich us. All the while, in every thing that we do and say, we act and speak in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ while we always give thanks to God and the Father by the Lord Jesus Christ. ---- As Saul was, so were we, and as he became Paul, he became a new creature and grew in the Lord, so should we; for the Lord gave us him for an example. He was a key instrument of the enemy until the grace of God changed him. We also need to follow his leading which is of the Lord. ---- Whether we are poor or rich, whether we appear to be of a low estate or of a highly regarded one, whether someone we come in contact with falls into one of these categories; we continue to remember that God has chosen the poor in this world which are rich in faith to be heirs of the kingdom of Our Dear Lord Jesus Christ. We will not fall victim to the enemy and his attempts to cause us to compare one with another while unknowingly tempting the Lord and provoking Him because such goings on disallow and disannul the presence and power of the Lord. We acknowledge that anyone who doubts is damned because of his lack of faith, for we understand that any thing that is not of faith is sin. ----Thanks to the Word of God we know that we are not justified by works but by the faith of Jesus Christ the Son of God. So by faith we have been crucified with Christ, and as a new creature, as a Christian, considering the indwelling presence of the Lord, we do not frustrate the grace of God, which is the inward working ability of the Lord, The Precious Holy Spirit, by denying Him in any way, (in our selves or in others) irregardless who the Lord is revealing Himself in.

The Lord has closed the door for us, on the enemy's attacks and true peace and security comes only from He who is the Way, The Truth, and The Life; after He has been allowed access and abode in our hearts. Through trust in the Lord, even in perilous times, to those who believe, the enemy is utterly cut off. So we continue to walk humbly before the Lord as we help others to come to know and trust The Truth.

The Lord allowed me to see what I am without my complete and unwavering trust in Him and I was shocked to realize how blind I was. Fortunately because of the Lord's unexplainable love for me, I was also being protected until that certain day of enlightenment whereby I would understand the meaning of the truth. His promises applies to both; those who trust, as well as those who think they trust. But true understanding can be possessed by only those who truly trust in the Lord combined with their obedience to His voice and His covenant.

This true understanding comes only by revelation of God through His Spirit. I would like to share with you a serious mistake I was making which I came to understand through the revelation of God. One day the Lord revealed to me how I had been guilty of blasphemy without my knowledge because of my deafness to the Word of God.

God wants us to understand that through the evil which encompasses us, He is enabled to reveal to us where we have placed our trust. In such cases, those who truly obey and follow the Lord and those who don't are fully visible because their speech and their actions allow the truth to be known. Being encompassed by so much evil should not frighten us, rather, it should prove to us that we are being given an opportunity to test our faith and prove to ourselves that we do indeed rely upon the Lord. The Lord knows our hearts and it should not matter to another whether we trust the Lord or not; not for their salvation or for ours as that must be worked out by each with fear and trembling.

Our generation could be compared to the generation which lived during the reign of Hezekiah over Judah. Hoshea ruled over Israel at the same time. During this time; those of Judea trusted and obeyed the Lord while those of  Israel did not either. Israel was taken away captive while Judea wasn't. The enemy was seemingly too strong to prevail against, irregardless who was on your side. His trickery and deceit was apparently unknown as it is today. He was able to take captive many while some were enabled to persevere, due to their trust in the Lord. Unfortunately, they tried to fight flesh and blood when they were actually unknowingly fighting against spiritual wickedness in high places, the ruler of the darkness, the same as we are today.

Then, just like today, he is trying to undermine the authority of the Lord, by speaking in a language we are familiar with, that we might begin to doubt; for he knows he has lost the war with our King, he knows he must wage the war with us. We are guilty of what the generation during king Hezekiah was guilty of and we have been blinded from the truth and didn't even know it.

I many times wondered why a certain chapter was repeated by the Lord; in 2nd Kings and Isaiah. The Lord knew of what the future generations would be faced with and gave us instructions through His Word.

The king of Assyria ( which represents our enemy ) was trying desperately to be ruler of all, to be king over all. He managed to gain the upper hand over the disobedient and untrusting, but now had to be more devious to gain the upper hand over Judah. By previous existence, by previous domination, by worldly focus followed by threats, through fear tactics, he was able to keep those of the kingdom at bay, to keep them quiet. They were afraid to speak and say what they had been commanded by the Lord to speak. At the same time, the enemy had such control over men, that they were implements in his destructive plan of us all. All which are under his control have become members of the synagogue of Satan. The lesson here is simple, disobedience and lack of trust by failure to stand with the Word of God, no matter what comes before you, causes the Lord's mighty hand to be stayed whereby you are turned over to Satan for a lesson in blasphemy.

Evil existed and thrived as all sought their own pleasure while they were awaiting the time promised by their king to be ushered into all they could hope for. Those promises made to them by the king were similar to promises made by the Lord. Basically it was a counterfeit plan which resembles the plan of the enemy today. All the while the Lord had full knowledge and foresight of the outcome.

The people were given the opportunity to speak for the Lord ( to boldly speak and announce the Lord's dominion over all as well as His saving hand ), but they chose to remain silent. This is what was considered the day of blasphemy or the day of contempt. Ever since, the enemy's flock has been growing without each person's knowing it. The synagogue of Satan has been growing but the time has come that we must acknowledge the problem and it's existence.

We have been falling victim to the enemy because of our lack of wisdom, we have been perishing but the Lord promises that knowledge shall be increased. The enemy has been using our own inability's against ourselves. The evil continues to exist, we get frustrated with it all, we speak of our dislike, we question the Lord why, we deny the saving arm of the Lord, we deny the Lord's ability to work among us, we misappropriately assign powers to events, we are quick to speak our opinions, and the list goes on; and all of these things reveal our true heartfelt tendencies. We have been guilty of blasphemy and didn't even know it.

As new creatures in Christ, we are to put on the new man as we have and we must continue to put off the old man ( COL 3:8-15 ) When we refuse to put off the old man, we are opening the door and allow ourselves to become a member of the synagogue of Satan ( REV 2:9 ) A man is defiled from that which comes out of him or that which comes from the heart of man, and of these things is blasphemy. (MAR 7:22 ) We do and say what we will to and about other Christians just as Saul did before his encounter on the road to Damascus where he saw The Light.
( ACT 26:9-14 ) God chose the poor in this world which are rich in faith and the enemy uses many which seem to be rich or in authority to oppress us which cause us to join them because of their position and appearance to be the right thing.
( JAM 2:5-7 ) We have forgotten that being new creatures, we are no longer ourselves but it is Christ in us; we dare to question the condition or status of another, to include doubt and ridicule for their trust in the Lord by their show of faith which only brings to light the existence of sin in our own lives and possible damnation. ( ROM 14:23 ) Remembrance of the fact that we are justified by faith and not by works is essential. ( GAL 2:16 )

When we act in such a manner, we are opening the door to Satan and allowing him an open door policy; we at that point are testing the Lord and allowing Him no choice but to discipline us and teach us not to blaspheme. ( 1 TIM 1:18-20 )

We must remember, they were as we are not; completely lost. This action has been taken for our benefit. The Lord still is in command and continues to protect those being taught while learning but His Spirit will not strive with man for ever.

JUDGES 2:20-23 The Lord allowed the evil to remain from that day on in order that He might prove and test the disobedient Israelites. By true trust and dependence upon the Lord and His covenant with them; evil could exist all around them but could not in any way harm them. Many might fall victim but they wouldn't.

2 KINGS 18:1-37 The historical example the Lord has given us of those who

- 19:1-37 were disobedient and those who obeyed and trusted in the

{ISA 36:1-22- Lord. All of the people who disobeyed and distrusted the Lord

37:1-38} were taken captive by the enemy but true worshippers of the Lord remained completely protected and safe from the enemy.

COL 3:1-17 Considering the fact that Christ is in all born again believers, put on and keep on the new man while continuing to keep off  the old man. Let the peace of God rule you while you let the Word of Christ enrich you; as all you do, you do in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ while always giving thanks to God and the Father by the Lord Jesus Christ.

ACTS 26:9-20 For many years, Paul who was a religious leader, was an implement of the enemy but by the grace and mercy and love of God, met The saving knowledge and The Truth. He not only was a messenger but was also controlled by the enemy until The King intervened.

JAM 2:1-10 Whether you are poor or you are rich, whether you appear to have a low position or a high position, whether someone else falls into the same category; remember that God has chosen the poor in this world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom of our Dear Lord. Do not fall victim to the enemy by allowing him rule in you to compare one with another as you as well disallow and disannul the presence and power of the Lord.

ROM 14:23 Remember that he who doubts is damned because of his lack of faith, for what ever is not of faith is sin.

GAL 2:16 Knowing that man is not justified by works but by the faith of Jesus Christ. So by faith you are crucified with Christ, and are a new creature, a Christian who does not frustrate the grace of God, the inward working ability of the Lord, The Holy Spirit, by denying Him in any way, irregardless who He is revealing Himself in.

PSA 17:4 The door has been closed to the enemy by Him who shuts and no man opens. True peace and security comes only by The Way, and The Truth, and The Life which has been received in one's heart.

NAHUM 1:15 The result in such perilous times is utter victory in this life as the Lord promises to those who believe; the enemy is utterly cut off, and can no longer pass through you.

1 PET 1:18-20 We refuse to allow the door to be reopened but will walk humbly before the Lord and help others to know and trust The Truth.
