The Apostle Paul was very clear about his godly leanings in his first epistle to the Thessalonians, and this he stated in the second chapter, verses 4 to 6.

“But we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts. For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness – God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.”

Some forty-plus or more years ago, there would not be much difficulty finding pulpits that mirrored the stance of Paul – preachers of the Word who diligently placed God over the whims and fancy of those in the pews. There was little fear of whatever hints of disapproval that could emanate from the congregation. Like it or not, the bitter medicine was for His glory and ultimately the eventual benefit of its recipients – even if considerable discomfort was encountered. No questions asked.

Some people freaked out and deserted the pews; wherever they went would be anyone’s guess! But there were those who realized the value of an unadulterated education where souls were concerned. Call it a process of toughening up in the spiritual sense. Most importantly, it all boiled down to pleasing God and nobody else. Following His statutes and commandments, more joys than pains doing so because this is the only pathway to the peace that surpasses all human understanding. Oh yes! The peace of mind that comes from the realization that God is in control of all situations, which enables the trusting individual to lead a victorious life free from undue stress!

A lot of people that have started off trusting the Lord and are still doing so are very likened to steady vessels regardless of the sailing conditions. This being the case even in these trying moments of the pandemic plus its heinous fallout. Yet a lot of these folk are aghast at the sight of a troublesome and truly spiritually unwholesome trend – swathes of men- pleasers! Not just sitting in the pews but standing in the pulpits.

Enter churches that might wield financial muscle but are close to tottering under the weight of increasing depravity. Depravity that feeds on that me-first mantra. Teachings and sound advice from Holy Writ were systematically replaced by worldly wisdoms. Stuff spewing out from charlatans from the New Age stressing on the self versus God. Purely ceremonial became quite the practice that cloaked the true intent; subtle brainwashing drove the unthinking crowds toward putting creation above the Creator. When faith in the Lord is snuffed out of a church, it is very much like a sheep pen minus the guardian sheep dog. Heightened vulnerability only makes the enemy very happy. Why so? The answer is clearly stated in Matthew 6:24.

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

From the above passage of the Good News, there is no way God can work on an equal footing with His creation. He has to remain supreme; but once this order is scuttled, there is just room for the enemy to wreak havoc, largely through confusion that is energized by misinformation. Cunningly making falsehoods appear to be the truth. All through ignorance, this negative thrives in an environment devoid of Scriptural truths but laden with heaps of myths. When the Holy Spirit is not welcomed, then the seducing spirits are given a virtual welcome mat!

Herein lies a very serious problem. Man is light years away from the might and glory of the Creator. The Maker of mankind is omnipresent, omnipotent and infinite in resources. Flesh is not only limited in numerous aspects but sporting a vulnerability that is grossly underestimated. Without the grace and mercy of the Heavenly Father, all flesh can only end up as virtual playthings of the wicked one. Capable of conning while being duped, hating while stoking angst in others, and the propensity to pedal every vile thing – all that for everybody to see. Pretty pathetic! Things could have been a whole lot worse if not for the ultimate sacrifice on Calvary. If not for the Son of God, all humanity would be doomed!

Why be so sanguine to put everything on that which is truly fallible and tagged with limitations, no matter how awesome the outward show might be? Things of earth are breakable in spite of pen and paper, but with the Lord, His invisible Hand will make what He has said become hard reality.

There is absolutely no gain in seeking high approval ratings from flesh and blood. In spite of this, there are imperfections that will lead to disappointment and anger. Hatred stemming from envy will abound; sometimes it is even evident at deathbeds. The large numbers at a wake could suggest the greatness of the dearly departed. However, does this matter to the Righteous Judge? One thing is very clear in Jeremiah 17:5-6.

“Thus says the Lord; Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord, For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited.”

We undoubtedly live in a time where evil is ramping up and the wicked one is close to being on a rampage. Scary to those who put everything in the hands of created beings and their earthly products. But when God is at the helm of your life, fear not. He can only be capable of loving and blessing so long as you walk closely with Him.

Yours in Christ

For years we have been lied to. I am tired of being lied to. No, not just tired, livid. But take heart, many of the lies that have been perpetrated upon the people of the world are being revealed, as prophesied.

Titans / Giants / Nephilim

For years we have been told that the Sons of God are just the progeny of Seth. Giants, called Nephilim by the Bible, are just the figments of imagination. The Titans, those men of renown, were just superheroes of ancient times, not the hybrid progeny of humans and Gods. Nuttin to see here . . .

However, bones do exist that are not strictly human – they are much larger than human bones and have DNA that is different, the Titans of ancient times are historically documented, and those truths are slowly being revealed, no matter how assiduously the powers that be deny it.

Deep State

For years we have been told that there is no such thing as a hidden group of individuals that actually run the governments of the world, who control those who have been “elected”. . Nuttin to see here . . .

However, it is becoming increasingly clear that there are indeed rulers, authorities, cosmic powers, and spiritual forces of evil that guide the nations’ leaders, and those truths are slowly being revealed, no matter how assiduously the powers that be deny it.

Election Fraud

For months we have been told that there was no fraud committed in the 2020 election. Nuttin to see here . . .

However, it is becoming increasingly clear that numerous anomalies have been discovered, and those truths are slowly being revealed, no matter how assiduously the powers that be deny it.

Earthquakes

For years we have been told that there has been no great increase in the number of earthquakes. And yet, just recently, the USGS has posted revised totals for the past several years that have jumped anywhere from 22,000 to over 100,000 above the original numbers. Nuttin to see here . . .

However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the number of earthquakes is increasing each year, and those truths are slowly being revealed, no matter how assiduously the powers that be deny it.

UFO / UAP Phenomenon

For years we have been told that unidentified flying objects are just the figments of imagination. I recently received an email from a person claiming to be a member of the U.S. operational intelligence community who wrote, “The ‘interest’ that the U.S. Government is expressing now is a psychological operation (psyop) being played upon the public.” Nuttin to see here . . .

However, craft and other objects do exist that are not produced by earthly individuals, the Pentagon recently admitted that military personnel have been encountering unidentified aircraft for a while now, and we have records of these encounters dating back decades. Those truths are slowly being revealed, no matter how assiduously the powers that be deny it.

Covid-19

At the outset of the Covid-19 infection, we were told that this would be the most devastating disease ever to hit the planet – millions were going to die. Lock-downs were ordered, masks were demanded, and the PRC test was used to confirm that this was indeed a pandemic. None of the available remedies, such as Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, Ivermectin, or Remdesivir would help. Now we are being told that the “vaccines” do not have any dangerous side effects. Nuttin to see here . . .

However, it is becoming increasingly clear that had then-current medicines been used, it may have reduced the death toll, lock-downs and masks have not been effective in slowing or stopping the disease, and the “vaccines” (which are more truthfully genetic modifying agents) do not stop those injected from getting Covid-19. These truths are slowly being revealed, no matter how assiduously the powers that be deny it.

The Rapture

For years we have been told that the rapture is an instant disappearing event. Nuttin to see here . . . (no pun intended – smile)!

However, the raptures of Elijah (2 Kings 2:7-12) and Yeshua (Acts 1:9) were fully witnessed events. The rapture of the two witnesses of Revelation will also be witnessed (Revelation 11:12).

Virtually all agree that the Jewish Wedding Ceremony is a perfect picture or pattern of Yeshua’s actions of taking his Bride. When the bridegroom’s father gives him permission to go get his bride, he does not simply walk outside his newly built home, blow the shofar, shout “Wife, come here,” and poof, she instantly disappears from her father’s house and appears at his feet. NO, NO, NO – he and his friends literally have to go and carry her from her house to his new home. That ride is well witnessed by all who have been awakened by the shouting and blowing of shofars of the bridegroom and his friends. No disappearing event here, either!

The patterns are consistent. The truth that the rapture of Elijah, Yeshua, and others was (or will be) a well-witnessed event is slowly being revealed and lends me to believe that the rapture of the Bride of Yeshua will more than likely also be a well-witnessed event, no matter how assiduously anyone may deny it.

Conclusions

Luke 8:17 – “For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nothing is covered up that will not be known and come out into the open.” (also see Job 12:22; Matthew 10:26; Mark 4:23; and Luke 12:2)

The world loves the lies. But Yahweh hates the lies and reveals the truth. Yeshua is about to return, and so the lies that are being perpetrated are being revealed for what they are – blatant untruths. Yeshua is the way, the truth, and the life; and the darkness must give way before him.
