Good morning everyone in Hawaii, and throughout the world, I am good to see you all back again for another Sunday service, at least we are following the great commission to go to all of the world and preach the gospel of Christ. As you now my heath is still in the air, and I have been administering my own antibiotics, three times a day, which takes a toll on my spirit, and it seems nothing is working, but I know God’s healing is coming, that is His promise. You all know this church is following the path of the early church, we don’t need buildings and picnics and bake sales, etc. We are here to break bread and to praise God, with love , fellowship, teaching sound doctrine, and share what we have with all who come as individuals of this assembly, you know the Ekklesia the body of Christ, or the called out ones, however we put it, we are trying to stay in the realm of the bible, and as a bible truth Christian church, we will not conform to the traditions of men and share in any divisions, or be apart of any so called denominations, we are one body, the Body of Christ, with Christ as the head, and we will preach to the world, as best we can using the guidance of the Holy Spirit, without the Holy Spirit talking through me it would only be a man’s interpretation, we need God’s interpretation and leadership. I hope people fully understand that, there are so many churches that follow the routine of traditions of men. And as in this time of the end of the age, approaches we have to remain as pure as possible, waiting for the Lords return. We are not an organization we are an organism, in the dictionary an organism is something as a complex structure of mutually supporting basics whose relations and properties are largely determined by there function as a whole, so you see this church is trying to follow the path of what Jesus truly wanted, from the beginning with His apostles as a group being an organism not and organization, we are to care for one another as a whole. We can also look at it a different way let us say that the church as a body living as an organism, so it has life, now in this world an organization does not really have life at all. Our scriptures below are in reference to the way the church began and still should be, this was so to speak the early church, today with the complete glimmer, and the grand cathedrals and all the perfect buildings, none of this brotherhood and sharing like this goes on of this day and age. There are some that express love, and compassion, and fellowship but not like in the early days.
All the believers were of one heart and mind, and they felt that what they owned was not their own; they shared everything they had. And the apostles gave powerful witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God's great favor was upon them all. There was no poverty among them, because people who owned land or houses sold them and brought the money to the apostles to give to others in need. Acts 4:32-35 NLT
Today that is the key one heart and mind, all directed to each other, and all pointing upward like a triangle with Christ at the top.
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Rom.12:4-5 NIV
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 1Cor.12:27 NIV
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matt.24:14 NIV
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Mark16:15 NIV
And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; Rev. 14:6 NASB
Dear heavenly father, we are here once again to worship you and to praise you, we love you Lord, and we need you, please guide us this day, please hold us in your arms, please send your Holy Spirit to us all, who see, hear and read this service, forgive us of our sins Father, and please keep the door open for your wonderful light, In Jesus Name, Amen
I went into a church one time during a Wednesday night, and I happen to talk to the pastor, and he found out I was unemployed, and the whole congregation made a pass of the hat and they gave me about 54.00 dollars when I left. I drove away crying and praising God. That was an experience, but you see I was involved with another church at the time, and I was fooled by Satan into thinking that that was the right church to go to, and I was defiantly mistaken, that church that I attended had the spirit of demons itself floating around in it, and you could almost feel the chill as you would enter. But I was drawn in like an evil magnet. It is hard to explain, there wasn’t any true love there, and it seemed as time went on, you noticed that there were clicks, or groups of people that would hang around together, and disregarded the people that really needed the fellowship, I know because I was one of those, and I became close to the ones that were should I say unseen, or thrown away, and we cannot have that within a church. And the doctrine that was preached did not make any sense, because it wasn’t coming from God, it was coming right from the spirit of Satan.
so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 1Cor.12:25-26 NASB
I did return to the church that passed the hat, and it didn’t feel the same again either, on a regular Sunday, it felt I was in the wrong place, the doctrine was fairly sound, the greeters felt friendly, but during the greeting time I felt alone, in a vast amount of people, but my spirit or what ever spirit I picked up from the other church lead me to believe that I should “not” stay there. You see how the devil can work. I should have stayed in the compassionate church, but I went back to the demonic other, it was a drawing sensation. So what I am trying to say is you can fall into a church, and be a part of it, and the service or worship might seem normal but it might be a magnet for lost souls that will fall straight to hell. Because if the pastor is from Satan you are worshiping the beast, and don’t even know it. The point remains how many other churches are worshiping the beast and don't even know it. And I don’t think our Lord will kindly take an approval of that, even though you are tricked, blinded or deceived. You are a Christian that is why you must always seek that narrow road and do not go with the flow of the wide road.
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.”
"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matt. 7: 13-14 NASB
“Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.” Luke 13:24 NASB
"Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as `Lord,' but they still won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in heaven. On judgment day many will tell me, `Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' But I will reply, `I never knew you. Go away; the things you did were unauthorized. Matt. 7:21-23 NLT
“Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.”
" Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' Matt. 721-23 NASB
As you can see you have to be very careful about what church you go to worship, I have found many believers just meeting in homes, and in parks, there was even a motorcycle gang that meet in a park, that truly loved the Lord and truly worshiped Jesus.
I met another man in another chuch, he was a preacher and he new the bible backwards and forwards, but he never new anything about life, he never went anywhere, he grew up in the same town, and his father was a preacher, and the grandfather was a preacher, so everything that he was taught was through generation, now if one generation has taken a step in the wrong direction maybe lead by a lie of Satan, then the rest of the generations will make the same mistake, and when you are taught since a small boy, it will be very hard to convince that particular someone or preacher, that they might be wrong in there teaching, also we could call this the generational domino false doctrine affect, which again no one would ever notice it unless you truly studied biblical philosophy, mixed with church history. But you see if you don’t have the spirit of God in you, or if you have a hidden spirit of the devil, you could destroy the whole church and the congregation, by way of the pastor or preacher or minister, it is quite simple, to understand to divide and conquer.
And knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Any kingdom that is divided against itself is being brought to desolation and laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will last or continue to stand. Matt. 12:25 AMP
That is one of the ways that Satan today is destroying Christianity, he is attacking from within, he has left the bars, casinos and race tracks, and all other places of the sins of iniquity. He can do more damage within the church, he is running out of time and I have said this repeatedly, all through this church website, we are living in a lie, the father of lies.
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." John 8:42-47
Now we have to look at denominationationalism it means more or less division, so if we are in a certain denomination that let’s say only believes in certain parts of the bible, like some denominations don’t believe in the book of Revelation, or they only believe in the New Testament, there is another division and that house or church cannot stand. It is how could anyone think they could build a better church than God and Christ when the church is already mapped out for us in the bible, it is not our church to start making changes it is Christ’s church, why don’t we do what he wants us to do.
Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from what we believe; they will follow lying spirits and teachings that come from demons. These teachers are hypocrites and liars. They pretend to be religious, but their consciences are dead. They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanksgiving by people who know and believe the truth. Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it. We may receive it gladly, with thankful hearts. For we know it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. 1Tim. 4:1-5NLT
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.2Tim. 4:3-5 NASB
So as we see again people prepare sermons for what people want to here, some get awfully upset when you preach the book of Revelation, they don’t want to hear about fire and brimstone, but in this passage it is the signs of the times, how the world is being manipulated and then lied too, conned and the media prints and shows on the news what we should here, we don’t here the truth, If they told us the truth about what is really happening, I don’t think there would be anything left of America. All of the scams, spam emails, that are going on out there it is getting worse and worse, how long before God wrath comes? That is why we always must be ready, are you? Everywhere you look there is sin. I can’t even go into a rent a tape place without seeing sin, I mean everywhere, just going through in a check out line in a grocery store with the magazines, on all the covers are all with half naked women, advertising sin. And it will get worse. They took away the Ten Commandments, prayer in our schools, now I hear there is a petition to stop all televised Christian TV, and that is all I watch. And who is behind all of this? The devil himself, and is now in our seminaries, our schools, what next. It is said;
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 2Tim 3:1-4 NASB
For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. Phil 3:18-19 NASB
Each section in the bible addresses this chapter a different way, difficult times will come, godlessness in the last days, the dangers of the last days, difficult times ahead, perilous times and perilous men, What people will be like in the last days, well my brothers and sisters the days are here, so I hope you are all with and organism not an organization. I hope you are trying to stay pure and keeping sober, waiting for our Lord to return. Because I would hope that we are ready, one more thing I have done some more research it is said that half the world does not even know about Christ. So we as Christians have a lot of work to do. And a lot of Christians that think they are Christians a large percentage aren’t. So what do we do , it may be hard to distinguish them, but this is where our spirit of discernment comes in, I am very blessed that God has given me this gift, and it is my strongest. I guess it all started out during my hitch-hiking days, when to get in a car, or not, or take that ride, or refuse it, it got to a point where I had to know that person or persons in minutes or even seconds, and while you travel down the road you have to analyze the person in the car or truck and in order to get along. You would have to become that person or like that person just to make conversation. After you get into several thousand cars, trucks, and pick-ups, you learn. God didn’t have me do that traveling and to seek adventure for nothing. It was all in the plan for my future work now as and understanding pastor, who can adapt to any situation, still I am not perfect but I strive to be. I want to be more like Christ, to live as Christ, and to have the mind of Christ, so now I can tell what kind of fruit is growing on any man, or woman almost on contact, and it is the same with any church I step into. Praise God!
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. 2Pet. 2:1-9 NIV
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1John 1-6 NKJV
Dearly loved friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the truth of the Good News. God gave this unchanging truth once for all time to his holy people. I say this because some godless people have wormed their way in among you, saying that God's forgiveness allows us to live immoral lives. The fate of such people was determined long ago, for they have turned against our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 3-4 NLT
In closing I must say that it has been a hard stressful week and 6 months of not being able to eat or chew, as each week goes by, I do not know how much a man can take, I have memorized 1Cor 10:13, I mean how much can a normal man take. I will be posting the 25 page story on the church bulletin and I don’t know what will happen next, plus all the attacks that are added to all this, has gotten even more intense than any movie or book. I feel I should get the word out to the world and I am even in the condition I am in. The thing is we as the people of God have done so many changes to the church, and even this one must carry a few traditions of man, but we wanted it to be Christ’s church, you see so many churches out there have changed the true church, to there church or may I say ours, or there way, or our way, meaning most all others. Now when Christ comes back He is going to be returning to His church, He never promised to return for our church or their changed church. He only promised to return for His church. God forgive us all.
Dear Lord Father of grace and peace, thank-you for anther day, please let all the prayers that were sent out to be considered, by you. Please send your healing touch to them all if you can. Please assist us all, we all trust and hope, we are trying to do our best for you, and we are still in the flesh, but we still have the Spirit within us, so we have no excuse for our sin, please forgive us, and please forgive others for they do not know what they do. We love you Lord, We love you Jesus, we love you Holy Spirit, In the powerful name above all names Jesus Christ, Amen
