'I wish those who call themselves 'Christian' would come
back to the Bible. I am often distressed when people ask me, “What do you think
about this, or what do you think about that?” I have to tell them, “It does not
make any difference what I think. My thoughts do not amount to anything. The
great question is, What has God said? What is written in the Word?”
If God’s Word does not speak on a particular subject, we have no right to attempt to speak, but where it has given a clear definite declaration, we should be positive and sure in our faith. How important it is that our thoughts are in harmony with God’s Word when we have to face the devil personally and then throughout society every single day.
Satan works through crafty deceptions, presenting all kinds
of false systems and views, and maligning the name of Christ.
It is only as our minds are controlled by the Word that we will be able to counter these false teachings. The better you know the Bible, the better fitted you are to meet the assaults of the enemy, and yet some of you have never even read your Bible through once.
Perhaps you have never got beyond the genealogies (ancestries records). You
came right up to them and stopped. You never went any further. But you need to press on through, and get deep into the riches of God’s Word
which is able to make you wise in the things of God and to salvation.
Darkness is engulfing our world and the nations all around us, where right is now wrong, and every sin is now acceptable. Truth has fallen in the streets as well as in government, and what is just and righteous is rejected and laughed at by the fools who think they know better. (Isaiah 59:14)
'God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light upon our path.'
‘Woe to the
inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down to you,
having great fury, because he knows that he only has a short time left before
he is cast into the Lake of Fire for all eternity.’
Behind the chaos of this world and its corrupt society, is
this enemy of all that is good and righteous.
‘And the devil that
deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and
the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.’ (Revelation)
This is what the
Bible tells us will happen in the last days, and on Judgment Day, which is not
so far away.
Right now we are
seeing great deception across every nation on earth, from the highest political
offices, down to the person on the street. It is a ‘spiritual’ evil.
The devil’s fury is
seen everywhere in the increasing violence and greed of mankind, the sicknesses
and diseases that are rampant throughout the world, and the lies and witchcraft
operated by the media on behalf of those who want to enslave the global
population and depopulate it.
Just look at the
heightened levels of fear and anxiety being spread by governments and media
outlets.
It is making people ill, both mentally and physically.
There is only one place of security and real
peace in these critical and strange times. We must pray that we might be
counted worthy to escape all these things that are coming to this world, and to
stand before Jesus through knowing (by faith) that we are forgiven and saved from the judgement to
come. (That’s what the Bible says.)
The final phase of
the countdown to the end of this world, as we know it, has already begun. Better get a real Bible and read it!
We had better be
ready for what is about to happen, for extraordinary things are going to be
seen on earth, and in the skies, and in the universe.
And suddenly, at any
moment, the skies are going to rip open, and Jesus the Almighty Creator of all
things is going to descend to save all those who belong to Him, (and you really
do not want to be left behind on that day, for then shall come the terrifying Judgment Day for this world!).
‘For two shall be working
together, one shall be taken, the other left. Two shall be in bed asleep, one
shall be taken, the other left behind.’
That’s what the Bible
says.
'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved.'
All you have to do is call on His name to save you, and He will.
'Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be delivered."
Jesus prayed that his followers, both those early disciples, and all who would be called in future generations, would be one: one in HIm, one in purpose, one in unity, one in fellowship, one in the gospel, one in spirit, and one in proclaiming God's love to a dying world.
Paul said, 'I have no man like-minded... for all seek their own things, [their own agendas, their own interests, their own platforms, their own 'ministries' and stardom], and not the things of Christ.'
He spoke of young Timothy as being the only one he knew who shared his passion and concerns, his enthusiasm and fire, his readiness to abandon everything for the cause of the gospel, and his committment to working with Paul in complete oneness and joint purpose.
Everyone chases after their own dreams and empires, and I am here referring to ministers as well as church-goers. The race to get money and possessions, to get a name for themselves and a platform to perform on, to get the praise of the congregation and the respect of those around them, outways the greater need to work together.
It is a very rare soul who has a straight and singlular heart after the things pertaining to the kingdom of God and the salvation of souls.
Even those who claim to believe that the Lord's return is very close, when time shall be no more, and all that we have or possess will be consumed in the flames of the judgment of this world, cannot abandon their comfortable lifestyles, their need to get rich, their aspirations for securing a decent retirment plan. They hang on to what they own and cannot let go of all that they have accumulated and stashed away, in case there is nothing left for them or their 'loved ones' at the end.
I love the Bible account of David's band of warriors and insignificants who became the finest army on earth because of their committment to him and to his God. They were dissillusioned with the world, distressed with what was happening in their nation, poor and in debt, but ready to join hands and hearts in a singular cause; and work together with one purpose and one mind to do something significant and bring dynamic change to what seemed an impossible situation. (1Samuel 22:1-2)
I have heard stories from no end of 'Christian' people who tell me that they are going to do this or that for the 'glory of God'. They go running here and there and build their platforms and stages to make money, to get their name and face up there in lights: but nothing significant happens. The devil is not bothered by them, heaven is not moved; the only ones admiring them are their happy band of followers hoping that wealth and gain will come their way by following the Pied-Piper piping out his or her songs of wealth, security, and comfort - all in the name of God of course.
I have seen it in a group of African pastors here in London where they follow a man who promises them that God is going to load him with incredible wealth very soon, and they will all get a share if they support his personal agenda and pray for him every Monday night. It will never happen, and they will eventually end up looking back at all the time and effort they wasted on a lie and carnal deception (albeit in the name of Jesus!).
I have seen it in the vain speech of those who said they will support the work of God in a particular place or ministry but then abandon all that they spoke, forget their promises, even denying they ever said anything.
But where is the one who would abandon everything, take up their cross and follow Christ to lose all to gain souls, and the praise of Him who says, "Well done thou good and faithful servant"? Where is the one who will join hands with the other one who wants to declare war on the enemy and bring the power of God's name to a world in distress?
They are calling just about any meeting these days, 'A Christian REVIVAL'. However, the dancers, screamers, crazy drummer and wailing guitars have nothing whatsoever to do with any form of godly revival.
The shouting 'apostles', 'prophets', and whatever other title they choose to give themselves, is all a sham. It means nothing, does nothing, except to get the crowd of vain worshippers excited and jiggling to the music.
At Mount Carmel, Elijah the great prophet of God called the religious lot to come to a meeting with all their 'prophets', apostles', and whatever other title they afforded themselves.
It was a day for all the people to make a decision about what was real and what was false.
It would be a day of life and death. Death to all the false prophets and platform performers; and life to the deluded people of God who ran after all their concerts and conferences.
Mount Carmel shall be the choisen deciding ground. The challenge would be to discover what was false fire and pretended godliness, and what was the real fire of God that would consume the sacrifice and turn the hearts of the people back to him.
The false preachers and prophets, in desperation, finally dispensed with all their flashy gimmics, their trickery and subtile deceptions, their candles and magic fires and lights, and called upon their god to send fire down from heaven in front of all the people.
It did not happen. Their god was as unreal as their profession of knowing the true God.
With so many noises from around the world right now and so many threats and hidden agendas going on, we must come back to the ground of truth. We need a visit to Carmel.
All that glitters is not gold. We have been hoodwinked by the cheap trash that comes out of China, the false glamour of trendy clothes, and the passing fads of a world fast headed to judgment. The same goes for the churches that think they need to 'be like the world to win the world', block out the light from all the windows so as to create a 'spiritual atmosphere' through stage lighting and pyrotechnics, and form a dancing jiving band to perform as though they were on an international stage of fame.
Away with it all. It is of the world and bot of God. When did God ever need our junk to prove Himself to anyone?
We are not of this world nor of its spirit. We are set apart from it and are citizens of a kingdom that does not ever conform to this age and its utterly lost and hopeless future.
The false prophets on Mount Carmel became so detrmined to try and prove that they were right, and just one man was wrong. They tore off their clothes and started beating themselves until their own blood poured off the bodies. They screamed and pleaded to their god to come and prove they were right and Elijah was an old-fashioned fool. But there is no escape from truth, for truth can never be altered and is the plumb-line by everything that must be measured.
The night of deceit and darkness, of lying prophets and greedy preachers is coming fast to an end. They shall not escape the coming storm as it tears down their citadels of fame and pastor-worship, of wealth and possessions looted from their congregations, of the theft, abuse, hatred, violence and murder done secretly in hidden places.
God is on the throne, and he is calling us to a meeting on His Mount Carmel.
Eighty hundred and fifty false lying prophets were called to face off Elijah on that mountain. I am sure they must have thought that 850 against one solitary man would be more than enough to defend their position and false teachings.
But God is always with His man, whoever and wherever that man might be. He most certainly will not be sitting in gilt chairs with the televangelists, the rich and famous, the deceiving preachers and compromised pastors. He will not be 'performing' on some stage in front of a congregation of enthusiasts. He comes from the camp of 'nobodys', from the desert of despising and rejection, from the secret place of the most High God which is so secret that nobody except who God chooses to find it ever discovers it.
'IF you seek Me, you will find Me: if you search for me with ALL YOUR HEART.'
Ahh, but the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.
Dancing around a platform and screaming insults to the devil achieves nothing, and the enemy laughs in their face at their supposed 'victories' they claim on the big screens surrounded by flashing lights and haze machines to create an 'atmosphere'. The singer, stirring up emotionalism in the masses in front of them, is nothing more than a player and a performer.
It's all a noise that just needs swithcing off.
Pull the plugs out, and what is left? Nothing but a vacuum and a disappointed audience with no rock band and no crazed drummer stirring up something which their carnal interpretations call 'God's presence'.
Only those who have understanding will know what I am saying, the rest are blind: for the great multitude are sucked into the 'performance', the delusion of the so-called 'apostle', 'prophet', or whatever else they may call themselves these days.
Seen it all before. God is waiting for his true Warriors and true Guardians to arise from their slumber, and strike the ground with the true word of God to this compromised generation of church-goers. What is the chaff to the wheat?
From the very soil of this country will arise a true blood-line of those who are destined to come to this moment in time and deliver the hammer and the true fire of God's Word. Few will know what I am talking about because they prefer to believe a lie, as always.
So long as the music entertains more than the preaching of the true word of God, so long it is nothing but carnality wrapped in spiritual-looking 'bling'. Don't like it? Don't accept it?
I do not care, for it simply means you have no ears to hear and no eyes to see what God is really saying.
Come, sons of the true heroes of the kingdom, of the blood-line of those who carried the true authority in forgotten previous generations; and without title or glamour, bring the thundering word to a people who claim to be true Believers, but who know not God.
'Where is the God of Elijah?'
The
headlines in every news outlet and on every media platform is of gloom and
doom. For the last three years the world has suffered an obnoxious and
murderous psychological attack upon its populations by the rulers of the
darkness and the hidden agenda of fear: and it is not going to stop yet.
A number of people were discussing
with me just yesterday about how the world has become very dark, and hope seems
to be all but gone. It is true of course that the media thrive on bad news, but
this current level of anxiety and hopelessness has been deliberately escalated
by the puppet media flooding its readers with brain-washing negative disinformation.
Wherever you look, whatever you
watch or listen to, it is either of a depressing nature, of violence, fear, or
worthless stupidity. Films are filled with hate, murder, demons and devils,
viruses and worldwide disasters, all feeding people's minds with things that
destroy life rather than elevate it.
If you chew on poison long enough
you will become sick and die from within.
Right now we need a band, an army,
of blood-washed, Spirit-filled Warriors who know nothing else except to preach
the gospel of Jesus Christ to this fast-dying age we find ourselves in.
Sadly, most believers (church
people and pastors), are just as worried and anxious as the rest of the world
about their houses, their job, their income, and their future dreams and
aspirations. They are preoccupied with the things of this world which are soon
to pass away, and have no real concern or passion for the work of evangelism and
reaching the great multitudes of people lost in sin and bewilderment, headed
for an eternal hell.
BUT somewhere out there are some special souls who have no
love for this world, and who long to see God's kingdom come with power and
glory. They may be alone and wondering what on earth 'church' is all about
these days, and are utterly disillusioned with all the artificiality of a
plastic religion that holds no power and no authority. They see the darkness
spreading throughout society at a rate never seen before, while congregations
sit in their sanitized buildings singing little ditties, with the band prancing
around on the platform supposing that they know God and can lead the people
into his presence.
To such men and women out there
who are sold-out to the cause of Christ Jesus, no matter what age you may be, a
word comes from the throne telling you that NOW IS THE TIME to arise [get
yourselves up] and shine, for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is
risen upon you, 'for the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross [thick,
heavy] darkness shall descend upon the people:
BUT the LORD shall arise upon you [in glorious light and
manifestation], and his glory [his power, his light, his honour, and his
radiant presence] shall be seen upon you. And the heathen shall shall
come to your light, and kings [rulers, executives, leaders, politicians,
business people] shall come to your rising [your rising up from doubt and fear,
from obscurity, from unbelief and despair, from sin and backsliding, from
impossibilities, and from being unknown or unwanted].
Revival does not start in the
church, neither is it (as some presume) a successful evangelistic campaign.
Revival is personal. It is when the dried-up servant of Christ, the backslidden
and careless believer, the discouraged and worldly pilgrim gets back into the
Word of God, back onto the path of truth, and puts away all the things that
hinder him from running the race and daring to do exploits in the name and
power of his God. It is when the love of God and the love of souls becomes his
number one passion and occupation of mind, heart, and actions.
You can sit there and do nothing,
and nothing is what you will get; or you can obey God, get yourself up, get
dressed in your spiritual uniform, and begin to shine for the glory of your
Lord and Saviour. Everything else will follow, as God will always, unfailingly,
honour those who honour him.
In the darkest night the light
shines the brightest. Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
And now, A word specifically for Men .....
I hear so much talk from men these days
that now they have got past thirty, or forty, or fifty years old, their
strength is diminished and they are ‘getting’ old.
They obviously NEVER really read the
Bible!
Our strength is not about the years of
our life, but about our walk with God.
If you choose to believe the lie and
live a mindset of ‘waiting to die’, then that is up to you.
I have watched multitudes of young men
pack their dreams, their visions and their full potential into the bag of early
‘retirement’ and ‘inevitability’.
Do you know what I mean? As soon as
they have children, they fall into some sort of mentality that shuts down their
aspirations and expectations. They begin to look back on what they could have
done, rather than what they can do!
I have looked at the pitiful stupidity
of men of thirty years old as they ‘settle down’ into a life of an ‘old
buffer’.
Now all their existence is about going
to work, doing the shopping with their ‘Missus’, looking after the children and
waiting to die. If you try to get them to come with you and do something a bit exhilarating or dangerous, they shy away quickly and
tell you that they now have ‘responsibilities’.
They are told by the modern church
counsellors that it must be ‘family first’ and God’s ‘calling’ comes second,
third, or even fourth along with, ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the
Gospel’.
King David, that mighty warrior of God,
recognised that his call was elevated above family, friends and mockers. God’s
demands came first, long before the claims of nearest and dearest (Matthew
10:37). His calling was from above, not from beneath, and found its beginning
before the foundation of the world (2Samuel 6:14-23).
Jeremiah’s call from God came before he
was even born. ‘Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you
came forth out of the womb I sanctified you [set you apart], and I ordained you
a prophet unto the nations.’ Jeremiah 1:5
Likewise the Apostle Paul: ‘Paul, a
servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of
God.’ Romans 1:1 (Galatians 1:15-16)
We are called from before time began to
be conformed (fashioned, moulded) into the image of Christ, to walk as he
walked, to live as he lived (Romans 8:29; John 8:29).
Jesus said, “I must be about my Father’s
business.” (Luke 2:6).
I think that if the disciples had ever
become like the men of this age, the world would never have heard of Christ.
You do not ever read of a disciple having to beg his wife for permission to go
on an evangelistic mission, or an all-night prayer meeting.
When did you hear Peter or John say
that they could not go to some place or other to preach in case they upset the
wife? When was the obligation of going shopping ever a contest to the work of
God for those men of faith?
What a shambles the church has become,
especially the men!
God’s call and commission is always
FIRST, over and above the demands or whining and crying of any other party.
Effeminacy in the ministry has bred a
load of cowards. (1Corinthians 6:9; Nahum 3:13)
Intellectualism in the church has
sought to overwrite the Word of God (1Timothy 6:4-5).
New version after new version of the
Bible has destroyed the believer’s confidence in the written Word and its
infallibility. They have stolen the respect, the gravity, the reverence, and
the assurance Christians should have of the Scriptures.
Psychology and Christian counselling
has removed the revelation of God from and to the hearts of men (1Timothy
6:20). Why did we exchange the wisdom of Christ for the pseudo-wisdom of man?
‘If the foundations be destroyed, what
can the righteous do?’ Psalm 11:3
But thank God the foundations cannot be
destroyed!
‘For you see your calling, brethren,
how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble,
are called: but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the
wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things
which are mighty; and base [lowly] things of the world, and things which are
despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to
nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him
are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom…..’ 1Corinthians
1:26-30
Half-baked, unconverted cowboys,
parading under the titles of pastor, bishop and so on, have stolen the
reverence and personal all-sufficiency of Christ away from the simple- hearted
and ignorant believers. They wickedly make them to rely and even depend upon
the ‘minister’ for hearing instruction and personal direction for their lives.
And now we have a whole gang of mouthy,
obnoxious, strutting women usurping authority over the men, who pathetically
love to have it so! See Isaiah 3:12; and 1Timothy 2:12, if you dare.
This is not about male chauvinism, but
about Divine order set in place from the beginning of time by God Himself.
We had better take good note of
Revelation 2:20-23 speaking of that woman Jezebel ‘who calls herself a
prophetess’, who you give space to teach and instruct you, seducing you to
accept her words as though they came from God. But she shall soon be cast into
great tribulation and distress ALONG WITH ALL THOSE who follow her instruction
and support her ‘ministry’ (an abused word). (Read it for yourself.)
Away with it all! We can each one of us
know and understand the will of God for our lives, without the need of any
priestess or so-called ‘prophetess’ to tell us what God is saying. They are
usually more interested in your praise, respect and especially your
subjugation; oh, and your 10% tithe of course, along with your purchase of
their insipid writings, rather than your well-being and eternal salvation.
It always astounds me when I see
hundreds of solid full- grown men in the African churches sitting under
some rather loud intimidating woman preacher screaming instructions and
barking commands at them. And now in the huge American and British conferences,
men become like silly children, squealing and submitting to the chirping parrot
on the platform!
It is about time men stopped trying to
‘get in touch with their feminine side’, and stood up to be home-grown,
full-grown, whole-wheat-grain men, with a good splash of manliness and godly
courage.
Shove the squawking bird in a steel
cage somewhere out of sight, chuck a heavy wet blanket over it; put on your
spiritual armour and uniform, rise up into your God- appointed destiny, and go
tell the church and this world what He is really saying!
Why do you put up with it? Get a grip
guys and step up into your authority in Christ! You were called and ordained to
teach and lead the people of God into truth. You will one day give a full
account to God for your failure to fulfil the ministry that God has put upon
you.
‘Take heed to the ministry which you
have received in the Lord, that you fulfil it.’ Colossians 4:17
Throw her out! Get rid of the Jezebel
and get preaching yourself, and be a righteous man! Wear the dignity of Christ
and the authority that God has bestowed upon you. This is your position, your
calling, your nobility as a man.
Read the Bible for yourself and see
what it says in 1Timothy 3:12-15. And if your bookshelf is filled with the
teaching of some woman ‘god-star’, I suggest that you take it all outside, set
fire to it and get the Bible back into its rightful place. Her writings are not
the Word of God, and never shall be.
Man did not come from the woman, but
the woman came from the man (the Bible says so), and although God taught Adam
everything that he was to know, He did not then take the woman aside and teach
her the same. Adam taught Eve all the truth that he knew about the Creator and
His ways. This was God’s divine order from the beginning of time; nothing to do
with ‘superiority’, but simply God’s plan and order of things.
‘But I suffer not a woman to teach
[says Paul], nor to usurp authority over the man [exercise dominion, as in
instructing and teaching, ruling or controlling in the church], but to be in
silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but
the woman being deceived was in the transgression.’ 1Timothy 2:12-14
‘For a man indeed ought not to cover
his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory
of the man. For the man is not of [from] the woman; but the woman of [from out
of] the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman [was
created] for the man.’ 1Corinthians 11:7-9
This is not about being old-fashioned,
but simply saying what the Bible teaches. You can rip these bits out of your
version if you like, but the word remains and ‘endureth for ever’. To suggest
that you know better than God, is yet another delusion that will bring only
confusion and spiritual blindness.
Furthermore, let it be noted that it
was Eve who was deceived by the serpent and not Adam. She was the first
‘medium’, if you like, contacting the ‘dark side’; and it seems since then that
women have always been more ‘open’ to spiritual influences (both good and evil)
than men. That is why I have to wake the men up.
In the British Army we have a saying,
‘Order; Counter Order: Disorder!’
In the church there must be order, or
there will inevitably be disorder and ultimately, confusion.
Christ chose twelve disciples and
taught them all that he could. They were men. They went and turned the world
upside down.
I know that where there are no men to
do the teaching, then women must do so; but shame on the men for not rising to
the call of God. However, in our meetings today there are many unnoticed young
men who could wipe the floor with some of these big-headed, strutting,
plastic-reinforced-faced females on American and British religious television
channels talking a whole lot of poppycock and false doctrines.
The church is waiting for a man
(whether it realizes it or not). Our young people are waiting for a man. The
world is waiting for a man. The heavens are waiting for a man. And before the
Man Christ Jesus returns, God is looking for a MAN to do what He says and defy
the utter nonsense of ‘political correctness’ and ‘women’s lib’ gone mad.
I am not against women in ministry
where it is appropriate.
Some of our finest missionaries,
martyrs, evangelist- preachers, intercessors, revivalists and Sunday-school
teachers have been women. Furthermore, I know some wonderful women pastors
working with their husbands in ministry as pastors (shepherds) of churches. But
for grown men to sit there like babies, sucking milk bottles from their
nursemaids is a contradiction of spiritual law.
Men should be teaching the church of
God and living at the level which God ordained them to live at.
‘For when for the time you ought to be
teachers, you have need that someone teaches you again, even the first
principles of the oracles of God; and you are become such as have need of milk,
and not of strong meat.’ Hebrews 5:12;
‘And the things that you have heard of
me among many witnesses, the same commit to faithful men, who shall
be able to teach others also.’ 2Timothy 2:2
‘And from Miletus he [Paul] sent to
Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.’ [He said to those men]: “Take
heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy
Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased
with his own blood.” Acts 20:17-28
As I said, I am not against women in
ministry where it is Biblical, however, I am all out for men to rise into their
true office and calling, and take back what they surrendered over and over
again to the devil just to appease the perpetual whining of those who refuse
God’s instruction.
The great Welsh revivalist Evan
Roberts, at the beginning of the last century, submitted to the criticisms and
manipulation of a ‘Christian’ woman who then used his words and inspiration to
champion her own ‘ministry’. He became a recluse, and after two years of the
most amazing revival ever known, he listened to a woman telling him that he was
too weak and sickly to preach and needed to rest.
Ever since then the authoritative power
of men in ministry has slowly but surely declined in this country, year by
year. I believe this is something that God showed me very clearly after
spending two days in the chapel at Loughor, South Wales, (waiting on God with a
small team) where the 1905 revival began. Have no doubt, it was a great and
strong evil principality that brought this about, and it will take a new
generation of men to reverse the damage done, and restore dignity and
masculinity to the preachers of righteousness in the churches of this land.
We now have a bunch of guys who are
baby-sitters and obedient husbands rather than radical, powerful, fearless and
daring men of God.
Men today, in this country, would
sooner submit to the nagging and whining of their wives and girlfriends, than
go and obey the voice of the Lord. You say it is not so? Then where are the
men? Even those coming from countries where culturally the man is most
definitely the head of the house, soon submit to the spirit of intimidation and
despising that has long been at work here in Great Britain and America.
Restore the ORDER that Christ has placed in His church, which was established at the beginning of time. Blessing and success will surely follow.
The three ‘R’s
Rugged, Righteous, and Regal men are
the great need of the hour, if ever true restoration and reformation is to come
to the church and this nation.
Well, that should have stirred up all
of the ‘Jezebel’ spirits from hell! I think I can hear them screaming and
writhing in their anger right now, slithering along the floor in coils like a
cobra with a mongoose on its back. Ha-Ha!
I did point out that this section was a
word for the men.
If you are a man and you don’t like this truth, then keep on squealing and crying like a girl.
We can send you some padded pants and a dummy if you want.

A
Declaration
I
make a determination this day and a decision of my heart and mind that I will
not stay here as I am, doing what I do. I shall break free from the false
security; the entrapment of what I anticipated would be yet another year and
all the expectation of other people, no matter who those people are.
I
will make the change myself and not wait for another to do it for me or even
show their approval at what I do.
I
shall not wait for anyone else to come and join me or to agree with me, but
shall make my own plans and preparations to go and let God use my life (what is
left of it) to its fullest in His hands.
I
am not a slave, neither the property of any person on this planet. I am a child
of God and a servant of the Most High. His demands and desires come before all
earthly claims, no matter how near and dear the person making them may be.
If
it means selling all that I have, moving to another place or country, leaving
family and friends, then I am ready for the decisions that will revolutionize
my life and put me in the place where I can be most effective in God’s kingdom.
I
have stayed around this mountain long enough (Deuteronomy 2:3) and now it is time
to pack my bags, get rid of all the unnecessary clutter that I have collected
on my travels, get out of my stagnation zone and put on the full armour of God
for the battle ahead.
It
is time for me to truly serve the Lord, to preach the Gospel, to bring hope to
the dying and deliverance to the captives (Isaiah 61). It is time to get the
good news of Jesus to our children and young people, and defy the religious
prison that says I must just sit in church, give my 10%, respect the screaming
preacher and go home and be a good boy.
The
world waits for me; the unsaved wait for me; the sick and wounded wait for me;
the kingdom of God waits for me. Why should I waste another moment living an ‘existence’,
instead of a fulfilment?
I
am not here to ‘survive’. I am not here to be like everyone else. I am here to
overcome, to create and inspire, to make a difference, to leave my mark, to run
the race, to earn my stripes, to spread the Gospel throughout the world, and to
win the fight.
The above is the closing chapter from 'THE DIGNITY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE FORTITUDE OF FAITH' by John Masters. A challenging and motivating book, right on target for this moment in history. It is not us waiting for God to do something, but God waiting for us to do what we must do in order for Him to come and show His power and glory to a rebellious and godless world that we find ourselves in right now.

Now here's a man worth noting and watching for the future, for he cherishes the truth and the foundation stones of this country that now stands perilously over the edge of a chasm of evil and conflict like never before.
The greatest need of the hour at this time is for us to pray.
There is no other way to see our nations changed.
There is no other way to see the
screaming and threatening adversaries silenced.
There is no other way to see our
children rescued and saved.
There is no other way to bring God’s
presence down.
There is no other way to see the enemies of righteousness flee from our towns and cities.
Prayer makes us accountable as well as available.
We can sing choruses and bash the drums and dance around the stage, and all that happens is the crowd gets excited or ‘entranced’, but nothing in heaven or on earth is changed. We can ‘prophecy’ and make bold statements, shout to the east and shout to the west, and claim that we are God’s chosen people; but it is just so often a waste of breath, a noise, and a distraction from truly seeking God’s face.
Jesus could wither the fig tree by a
single utterance because he lived a life of prayer, (Mark
Christ went into the wilderness and up the mountain to pray (Luke 32:39-32).
Moses climbed the rugged face of Mount Sinai to meet with God (Exodus 19:20);
Jacob met God out in the fields alone (Genesis 32:22-24);
David sought God in the caves and loneliness of the desert (1Samuel 23:14);
Elijah threw himself on his knees against the rocks of Mount Carmel (1Kings 18:42);
John prayed in the cold isolation of exile, and saw Heaven
opened and the revelation of the Son of God, (Revelation 1:9).
THE PRAYER OF FAITH is prayer which takes hold of God. It is determined, impassioned by the fires of fervency and urgency, and comes from a desperation of mind and spirit, breathed into us and through us by the Holy Spirit himself. Nothing less will do in this hour of trouble and wickedness. And if you do not have this, then you need to ask God for it to be birthed in you, even that spirit of grace and supplications. (Zechariah 12:10)
Without it, our prayers are but wishful thoughts and vague hopes, without any substance of things hoped for, and no evidence of things not visible as yet. (Hebrews 11:1)
Prayer changes things.
Prayer changes destinies.
Prayer overcomes the enemy.
Prayer brings victory and success.
Prayer delivers, and heals, and sets
free.
Prayer touches Heaven and brings mercy
down.
Prayer opens doors, and shuts out our
adversaries.
Prayer brings us near to God, and away
from the world.
Prayer will bring back the backslider,
and restore the fallen.
Prayer is the source of our peace, the
comfort in our distress.
Prayer can change a single soul, and
transform an entire nation.
Prayer will bring back our sons and
daughters who are wandering in the night.
Prayer will shut the mouths of our
antagonists and confuse their plans of destruction.
Persistent, fervent, urgent and passionate 'faith-prayer' will drive the enemies of the kingdom of God from our shores. Read Hebrews 11: 33-34
So why do we try everything and anything else to make things different before we ever consider praying?
Why do we depend on the government to make
changes, when prayer can change the government to do what we desire?
