A Word From Gaz. 29-08-20
As Christian preppers we are to prepare in every area of our lives.
In 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 we read:
17 Therefore “Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty.”
I have said on many occasions that we need to get out of the Cities and Towns, but we also need to get the Cities and Towns out of us!
To come out from them means; turning from the world and back to God.
But I never left God you say, and yet you allow worldly practices and habits in your lives, in your children’s lives.
Churches have bowed to the secular and avoid teaching Gods way so as to fill seats and ministers and pastors to get their share of the bounty.
Reading the Old Testament we see in most books God pleading with His people to obey His commands and He would heal them. But they ignored His prophets and killed many because there hearts where full of the lust of the flesh. They ate foods offered to idols, they worshiped other god’s in secrete thinking God won’t see them. They sacrificed their children to statues of idols and many other atrocities.
And what did God finally do! He destroyed most of them, only leaving a remanent!
The law was given for one reason! And that was to show the people they where sinners!
And yet even though we have read the Old Testament and have seen what God did to His own people who disobeyed Him, we live worldly lives and expect God to say that’s all right!
Well I am afraid it’s not. If you do not live according to Gods commandments you will be treated the same as the ungodly!
You have to live a Holy and righteous life before a Righteous and Holy God. You have to give up the Godless practises of the world!
How many of you allow your children to participate in Halloween!
There are references to Easter and Christmas tree that are interesting to read. I have put references on a separate page.
I know I wish my Lord Happy Birthday on Christmas day, but my heart is not in the so-called festive season. I do get excited with fellowship though. But I know in my heart this is only to fill the coffers of businesses. Because with all the people in the world how many understand the reason for the season. If this is when Christ was actually bourn.
Again I am not here to argue the point on festivals but as Christians to accept most of it is of the world not of God. It feels good, it makes the kids happy, it brings joy.
The only joy I get is; knowing my Lord and Saviour and that I will be with Him one day soon!
How many of us watch TV or Movies with questionable values and say it’s ok. And let our kids watch shows that are just as questionable!
We allow the world to educate our children and teach them worldly ways, even the Christian schools get funded and the government get a say in what is taught!
How many of us work for worldly people and put up with language and practices that we have become numb too!
Do we use smutty speech or crude jokes? Do we use our old life as an excuse with the way we live or are we living a Holy life before a Holy God.
The list goes on!
Lets not play the world game! And get serious with our God. Lets obey His commands and follow His ways not that of the world. We need to make sure we are saved buy living the life of a Christian not the pretend game that allows us to fit in with the world.
The easy way or the hard way, heaven or hell, the choice is always yours. Allow you personal relationship with Christ and live according to Gods word, not the world version. If you church does not preach the full truth of Gods word, not the happy clappy parts that makes you all goose but also the hard pars that bring you to a place where challenge sin in your life, where you question you walk and life choices.
If you don’t prepare now you will not get another chance.
As Watchmen and Women we are told by God if we don’t cry our when the enemy comes, we are held accountable for you blood!
No more; wishy, washy feel good, you will be OK talks. Be cause you won’t be OK,
Our God is a healing God. If you, listen and obey Him; nothing in this world can harm you or keep Him from you!
Oh, but I am sick, I have this problem, I have that problem!!!!!!
OH YOU OF LITTLE FAITH!
Matt 8:26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
Allow your faith to grow through you time in Gods word. Fellowship with Like-Minded people and allow God not man to set you feet in the way you should go.
From Revelations we read:
The Compromising Church
“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,
‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’
The Corrupt Church
“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,
‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
“Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. But hold fast what you have till I come. And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Dead Church
“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write,
‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
Right now! do you belong to any of these churches! Be honest with yourself!
Do you remember the full story of Balaam.
Balaam, a non-Israelite prophet described in the Old Testament (Num. 22–24) as a diviner who is importuned by Balak, the king of Moab, to place a malediction on the people of Israel, who are camped ominously on the plains of Moab. Balaam states that he will utter only what his god Yahweh inspires, but he is willing to accompany the Moabite messengers to Balak. He is met en route by an angel of Yahweh, who is recognized only by Balaam’s ass, which refuses to continue. Then Balaam’s eyes are opened, and the angel permits him to go to Balak but commands him not to curse but to bless Israel. Despite pressure from Balak, Balaam remains faithful to Yahweh and blesses the people of Israel. In later literature (specifically, the Second Letter of Peter 2:15), however, Balaam is held up as an example of one who apostasized for the sake of material gain.
How many of us have sold out or prostituted or faith or principles for gain in some way! Trust me my hand was first up!
But in John 3: 16 we read;
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
How many of us have forgotten this verse!
And what did we have to do to receive this from God?
“that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
If we truly believe, then we shall walk as Christ walked. We will take up our cross daily!
Not Sunday. Daily!
Not when we don’t feel like it. Daily!
Not when we have no money, or job. Daily!
Not when we are un-well or dying! Daily!
No excuses…. Daily!!!
And by doing this we receive from God!
Everlasting Life!
If anyone of you saw my life 8 years ago, you would understand! I believed, I had accepted Christ, I was spirit filled and yet I walk a line no Christian should walk. I sinned and asked forgiveness and sinned some more! God chastised me, forgave me and told me to “prepare”!
So I can say if you need to get on your knees and give your life back to Christ and make a fresh commitment! Then do it now!
You don’t need an alter call; you don’t need fancy soul music.
Just a contrite spirit before your God! Make your peace with Him and walk according to His will not yours.
Change your life and your ways! “Prepare”
Gaz.
