Hi Herald, that is truth, the day that man questioned the words of God, is the day the world started spinning out deception that will continue till the Lord returns and destroys the father of Lies. We must look for God, seek him while there is time and walk according tohis truth that he wrote for us, and in our heart. QUOTE

We are more safe knowing that the anointing will teach us all things, I John 2:27, it is not counterfeit, but real. Many have not tuned into the Lord, but rather gone to listen to men teaching the words of God proclaiming the WAY, which has been distorted. QUOTE

One has to be careful when studying to prove what they've heard, If one goes and uses books from men that are written on the subject then they have not studied and proved through the scriptures alone. This is very serious. For it is all written in the books of the O.T. and the N.T the entire understanding from beginning to end. But man has taken it out of context and written even commentary that is not accurate for many of the books God said himself have remained sealed until time of the END. Daniel 12:4,9. and many other places. QUOTE

I believe this quoted above will have more meaning in the last days oppose to now in my opinion. As we head into the tribulation greater these things Christ spoke will be very real to each Christian. IMHO. QUOTE

I believe these will be times of testing that will prove whether Christ is whom we serve and love, more than our own family, a time of this kind of testing is surfacing quickly upon the earth and I do believe it will come down to be exactly as it is written. A very serious matter ahead for the children of God. We have to have a relationship with our King and his Father that is deep and penetrating in our souls. One that we can not be moved from under no circumstance. QUOTE

Not many are willing to take the words written above and consider the out come of disobedience. That we take the words of life and live them towards God and others. When we do wrong, we fight against the carnal man to seek forgiveness and to forgive as well, and this goes against the flesh, but must be done. Learning to live a life that we are taught through the scriptures of the bible. That we may stand the test of time and refining when it comes. Vickie

Someday soon we are going home!!!
Yes we are some day sooner than many realize. For me IMHO I think around 2014 it will all be over, but that is just my opinion. Maybe 2015, I know that once we have the Son of Perdition enter into the temple it is 1260 days plus a few give or take. We simple do not know thehour or the day. WE have only been given the time element in the book of Daniel that tells us a general time. How I want to be home with the Lord too! Vickie

Did you know, that, God is pouring out His Spirit in China...a Chinese pastor said, that, they don't have enough pastors...Also, in Iran Muslims are having dreams and visions of Jesus and becoming Christians. There are Christian meetings of 2 million strong in Nigeria. The untouchables in India are coming to Christ in droves, probably because the Christians treat them like human beings. God is pouring out His Spirit in Cuba. Franklin Graham went to the most atheistic country in South America. Over 72,000 came to his meeting, and 8,000 were saved. Did you know, that, there are over 180 Messianic congregations in Israel. These are those who believe, that, Jesus is their Messiah. There are many other such countries. The Muslims are persecuting Christians all over the world, but those Christians say, that, Jesus has done so much for them, that, they are willing to be persecuted.Have you heard of St. Malachy's prophecy, posted on the web by the Catholic Church? He was an Irish Catholic Bishop who visited Rome in 1139. He had a vision of all the popes until the time of the end. He said the last pope "would reign amidst many tribulations," and then "the dreadful judge would come and destroy the city." Jesus is coming back as a judge.If this was a vision from God, there will be, only, one more pope.

Jesus said there were many who would come in at the last hour and get the same pay. Eternal life. The pope like everyone who receives a vision from God if it is from God will be of the testimony of what Jesus has written in the bible. Concerning times that prophesied about. Whether it be famine, or pestilence or earthquakes, it will be of the testimony of Jesus. It will do us all good to pay attention, but to know our Lord's word and test the prophets visions. Some where I read in the O.T prophets that God said when he sends a message it is never of peace that he sends the prophet with. But coming destruction and calamity from God towards the people. All the prophets never have brought good news in their visions God gave them to write about the Last Days before he comes. Vickie

The sword of the spirit is the truth and the life.The truth and the life is the sword that kills The Great Deceiver, the deceiving mind.The truth and the life is like a sword that cuts open the mind, exposing the spirit to true life.The truth and the life is like a key that unlocks the gatekeeper of life; the mind.

Proverbs 20:27 - The spirt of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly. If I am sensitive to my spirit, the Lord will tell me what to pray about. He will alert me to those things that need to be addressed in prayer. I become sensitive to my spirit by meditating on spiritual things at all times -- by meditating on the Lord, on His goodness, on His greatness, and on His Word.Albert Finchhttp://www.thekeys2kingdom.com

John 1:1,9 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word was the true light that enlightens all men; and he was coming into the world. No one can stop the language of God because God's words are creative. They are full of power. AffirmationWhen I speak the language of God from my heart, I am agreeing with God, and nothing will be impossible to me. I will be full of power too when I let those words abide in me.Albert Finchhttp://www.thekeys2kingdom.com
I have healed the sick, cast out demons and raised a man from the dead. Why? Because I have His Spirit within me, and He does the work.

Luke 9:38-40 - A man shouted from the crowd. "Teacher! Look, I beg you, at my son - my only son! A spirit attacks him with a sudden shout and throws him into a fit, so that he foams at the mouth; it keeps on hurting him and will hardly let him go! I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't." Observation I can't put the Word into action scuccessfully without making it a reality in my spirit man. If the Word is a reality only in my head or mind, feelings will get in the way of my acting on the Word. But if the Word is real in my heart, I have an anchor to hold me steady when the storms of feelings and emotions try to shipwreck me. Matthew 14:29 - "Come!" answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. When he noticed the wind, however he was afraid, and started to sink down in the water.Albert Finchhttp://www.thekeys2kingdom.com

Jeremiah 1:12 - Then said the Lord unto me, you have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that My Word is fulfilled. Affirmation I have the abiding Word and the ability of God active inside of me because God Himself is active inside of me, watching to make sure that His Word is fulfilled for me. So if I act on the Word, God will watch that Word to see that it comes to pass in whatever way I need it to come to pass. He is watching over my situation, because He is watching over His word!Albert Finchwww.thekeys2kingdom.com

Joshua 1:9 - Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Distractions, reasoning, fear, and doubt are tools the devil uses to rob us from achieving God's promises. Joshua was successful in battle because he realized that every victory begins in the heart. Victories are never won rehearsing past failures or running from battle, they are won by continually meditating on God's Word and doing the Word.Albert Finchhttp://www.thekeys2kingdom.com
A friend shared this picture with me and it seemed to fit this thread so well
John 1:14 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
When what is taught in my church doesn't line up with Scripture, I speak up...some like it, others prefer their traditions. My allegiance is to the Scripture, alone.
