Dear Beloved Readers,
2010 we are going to see the Word of God prophesied in Mathew 24 accelerate in the Body of Christ in a way you would not even imagine. There are many in the Body of Christ who can not discern evil from good. The word of God tells us in the last days, men will call evil good, and good evil.
The Bible warns us in 2nd Timothy Chapter 3:1, "That in the last days perilous times will come. The word perilous is rendered "hard to deal with and hard to bear." Why is this? Let us continue to read this chapter:
2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 2Ti 3:5 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Will this happen in the Body of Christ? Could this really be possible? Let us look at Mathew chapter 24 to see what Jesus says:
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
I want you to notice something about these two verses.
1. Because sin will abound, the love of many shall wax cold. The amplified version translates it this way, because of multiplied lawlessness, the love of the GREAT BODY shall grow cold.
2. There is a call to overcome: he that endures unto the end, not the middle, the same shall be saved.
This is the choice God is allowing to come into His house. Remember, Jesus taught us that we should allow the wheat and tares to grow together until the time of the harvest. At harvest time, the true nature of a tare can be discerned from true wheat.
You can not tell the difference between a tare and wheat until it is full grown. That is why they must be left to grow together. Another words Jesus allows them both in the house until their "true fruit" is manifested. The tare will produce a tares' fruit and will be removed. The wheat will produce its fruit and will be gathered.
For many years, many have prayed a sinner's prayer, but their lives have been the opposite of what it means to be a new creation. Many have decided to live in the world and be a friend of it, yet have a "form of godliness." How is the Lord going to separate the wheat from the tares?
He is doing it right now! I can't even tell you the persecution that is coming to those who desire to be Holy as He is Holy. There is a spirit in the church that says, " I can do whatever I want "because his mercies are new every morning."
That logic produces an it is "OK" to sin mentality Jesus will forgive me. In Northern Colorado where I have ministered for almost four years, many in the church in that region believe that they don't even sin. The flesh sins and that is not them. The Holy Spirit in them is pure and can't sin, so they aren't sinning, their flesh is. I am not making this up. Again in the same state, it is approved in one church for a married men to have dinner with another man's wife. Why, because we are Brothers and Sisters in Christ?
Through Television, TV, and Internet Sin is glorified and accepted in the world and that spirit is now taking deep root in many Christians lives. It is a lie from the pit of hell that will damn so many people because they are trusting in a lie and not the truth.
Do we sin? Yes we do. I still fall short no doubt! But the question is what do we do with that sin. Do we excuse it? Do we sweep it under the rug? Do we not even want to know what caused us to do it? Nope! God loves you just like you are. He will meet you right where you are at? Perhaps if you are unsaved, but not the saved.
I wonder if Christians today in our nation read their Bible anymore? What does the New Testament say about us and sin. 2nd Cor. Chapter 6:14-17. This is a commandment from God! Did you hear me? This is what is required of us as Christians!
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2Co 6:15 And what agreement hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
How about another New Testament command to live Holy before the Lord: James chapter 4!
Jas 4:1 Whence come wars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members?Jas 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures.
Jas 4:4 Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.
Whosoever would be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Christians today agree with unmarried people living together as husband and wife. Christians today believe you can divorce your husband and wife for any reason and it is OK? Christian Teens and young people have no problem having premarital sex. God will forgive them and they are going to get married anyway? Really!
In the 1950's if a young person got pregnant or had premarital sex they were not seen as heroes like they are today. God love you. His mercy is new every morning would never be told to a brother and sister that have fallen into sin from a Christian!They would have wept with them, prayed with them to repent and turn to God. Why is sin glorified in the church? Why is it so accepted?
Because we all do it! So if we have one area in our own lives where we fail we can't speak or preach against sin or we will be called hypocrites. The standard the world has produced for the church is unless you have no sin, you can identify it or speak against it. "Those of you without sin, cast the first stone." What a lie! This lie had to be confronted in Corinth when a man was having sex with a relative. Paul said this to the church in Corinth: Would you cancel your ministry subscription to the Apostle Paul who wrote these words:
1Co 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
(Please read what he says to the leaders and the people in the Corinthian church!)
1Co 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
(What a mean Pastor Paul? How dare him judge this man! Doesn't he know those of you without sin can only cast the first stone? Does he not know that if you judge, you will surely be judged? )
1Co 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already!
(What this false prophet Paul has a lot of nerve! We know this person, he is a good person, he tried hard. How dare him judge this man. This man cried over his sin. He was saddened he did it. This man tried to fix things.) Read on:
as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 1Co 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
OOPS! I must of missed something here? Deliver such an one unto Satan! WOW, that is heavy! Good thing that was just for the day of Paul! Could you imagine a Pastor or church having to do what Paul is doing here? Oh my God? Could you think of all the tithes they would lose? Could you imagine all the friends we would lose? I am speaking as a fool as I write this you understand
1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us!
OOPS Again! Fool me once, fool me twice! He writes to them "your glorying is not good." What does that mean. They accepted this sin in their midst as OK. They may not have agreed with the man. They may even know it was an abomination to God, but they CHOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!
That is the spirit that grips most of the churches and Christians in America. In the church today in America to do something about it or confront this man "the modern church" calls a sin, but to allow this sin to remain in their midst is acceptable to God!
These leaders in Corinth were not sinless. They weren't perfect but they were required by God to judge this situation under the power of the Holy Spirit. This judgment required the removal of this man from their midst and given over to Satan until he repented.
Do you know the wonderful part of this story? They put the man out of the fellowship. The man repented and got His life right with God and they restored him! WOW, what a novel concept, aye!
As far as I know, no where in the Bible did it say John the Baptist never sinned, only Jesus led the sinless life. Yet, this sinner John the Baptist preached repent the Kingdom of God is at hand.How could He? He could because He hated it in him and in the lives of God's people.
He came out and separated himself from the things of the world and the "ways of the world." This is the call that the Holy Spirit is making in His House. Come out from among them and separate yourself. This will be the identifying mark that will separate the wheat from the tares.
Jesus teaches us there will be two in the field, one will be taken, the other left behind. He said, there will be two grinding at the mill, one will be taken, the other left behind. Then He warns us with this word.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. Mat 24:37 And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Mat 24:38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, Mat 24:39 and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
Jesus says that the days that proceed His coming will be like the days of Noah! Interesting he mentions this, "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the Ark!" And they knew not until the flood came and took them all away.
We are at the prophetic calender time of John the Baptist in the church of Jesus Christ. The wheat and the tares are about to be separated in the House of God. How will the Lord do it. Malachi 3 tells us, "Who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He shall come like a refiners fire and fuller soap to thoroughly clean the Levites."
John the Baptist describes it this way:
Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: Mat 3:9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Mat 3:10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
Mat 3:12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
This scripture is being fulfilled in your ears at this time in history. The Lord is thoroughly cleansing His threshing floor? A cry of Who is on the Lord's side is being heard in the House of the Lord. Remember in the last days, Many will have a form of godliness but deny the power there of.
They will pretend to love the Lord or even convinced they love the Lord but they have no power, no power to crucify that sin nature in them and deny themselves and pick up the cross. No there choice will be to be "a lover of self, more than a lover of God."
When we ignore God's will, His thoughts or His commands to please and fill ourselves and call it OK to do, do we really belong to the Lord? If we can't believe that we have sinned or that our sin is not a travesty to God who had to die for them, do we really belong to God?
This heart is going to be seen more and more "Christians" in this next year. Sin is going to be even more accepted than now and they will curse or become angry with anyone who declares this message of repentance? There will be hatred coming against those who bring it to light? There will be false accusations of "those of you without sin, cast the first stone." You are not perfect, you sin, so you can't judge me.
That statement is of the truth, I can judge no one, but God will judge sin! He will judge sinners! And "begins where???? In the House of the Lord! God will judge the one who has the speck and the one who has the plank in their eye. God is the Righteous Judge and He will judge us. That is why we are to "judge our own lives" now!
The Book of James tells us to do this:
Jas 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. Jas 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.
Was this not an admonition from the Lord? Is not James "judging" the hearts of the people he is writing to and in the next few sentences he tells us not to judge lest we are judged. Is this a contradiction?
James calls them double minded, and to purify their hearts. That is exactly what God is looking for in us, and it is what is going to separate the sheep from the goats, and the wheat from the chaff. He writes: Be afflicted, and mourn and weep.
I warn those in Colorado and Arizona where we minister to repent of this foolishness and arrogant thinking. God is not blessing sin! God will not be mocked. What should our heart look like if we are truly seeking God to purify our hearts? James tells us: be Afflicted, mourning and weeping, let your laughter be turned to morning and your joy to heaviness! Not oh joyful, joyful! God will forgive you Brother? God knows your heart? God understands your sin, and is alright with it.
Let me forewarn those who read this, it is better to throw a mill stone around your neck than lead one of these little one astray. If you agree with another person's sin and treat it as if it OK, you may find yourself facing the same judgment of God. This is not a laughing matter. You may find yourself with their blood on your hands. You may find your self in alignment with the Spirit of Anti-Christ, "concerned with the things of men and not the things of God."
Joel chapter 2 shows us the true heart or repentance needed in this hour of separation.
Joe 2:11 And the Lord is thundering(this is what I have been trying to warn you about in the latest prophetic alert) before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?
Joe 2:12 But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, fasting and with weeping and with sorrow: Joe 2:13 Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God:
This is the way of true and lasting repentance. It is time for the church of the Lord Jesus Christ to repent and come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing. It is time to wash our hand, our hearts, our minds before God.
This is the word "the tares do not want to hear!" This is the words, "the goats will hate and persecute everyone that preaches it." They will preach that false Gospel under the Jezebel Spirit that seduces the church into "eating foods that are sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality." What does the Bible say in Revelation chapters 2 and 3: REPENT!
Don't tolerate the false prophetic voice of Jezebel calling herself a prophetess: Here is her message. "Sin is not that bad. You are under the blood. God understands your trying. God knows you really can't change until you die." You don't have to live Holy! You can enjoy the things of the world and fellowship with it? The repentance stuff, that is deception. Those people who preach it are "holier than thou." They have sin in their own lives how can they tell us what to do."
Be careful dear reader. Sin is sin! Jesus Christ had to suffer the worse type of death in the history of mankind to defeat it. It cost Him everything to break it's power over it. Should we remain in sin? Should it be OK to keep sinning everyday like business as usual? Why is there no power in our lives like at Pentecost? Why is there no Glory filling our shadows? SIN!
In closing this first part, I once again want to declare that 2010 will begin the fullness of the great falling away that was predicted in the church.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Did you read it! Let no man deceive you.... for that day shall not come, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, AND THEN... the man of sin be revealed.
This event, the "great falling away first" has begun in the House of God. It has begun by a divine separation of the sheep from the goats and the wheat from the tares. It has begun because the winnowing fan of the Lord Himself is in the threshing floor to sift that is wheat from that which is a tare.
Some of you reading this have become arrogant in your heart and deceived by the spirit of this age. Repent while you still have time. The hours is almost over! Some of you would rather glorify in the sin of others than the Holiness of God and His glory! You will bring God's judgment upon you for this sin if you don't repent.
Beloved Reader, we have little time to weep, mourn and be afflicted over our sin until the Fire of God comes to remove it from our heart. Paul told us Jesus would come for a Glorious Church without spot or blemish? How is he going to get them out? Kill us and take us to heaven and give us a bath? No, He is doing it now. The wise virgins have heard His call. They are buying the extra oil in preparation to hear the sound at midnight, Behold the Bridegroom, go out and meet Him.
Will you be one of them? Will you be wheat or a tare? Do you even want to really know the answer? I leave you with the following warning direct from the lips of our Master:
Mat 24:40 Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: Mat 24:41 two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Mat 24:45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? Mat 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Mat 24:47 Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. Mat 24:48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;Mat 24:49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;
Mat 24:50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, Mat 24:51 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
