Live in Lies or Live in Truth

March 7th, 2026 John P

Live in Lies or Live in Truth

Live in Truth | Live in Lies | Malicious Lips | Slanderous Tongue | Falsehoods

Live in Lies | Liars | Malicious Lips | Slanderous Tongue | Falsehood

Proverbs 17:4, ‘An evil-doer pays attention to malicious lips, a liar pays attention to slanderous tongue.

Proverbs 19:22, ‘A man’s attraction lies in his kindness, better a poor man than a liar.

Jeremiah 9:3, They bend their tongue like a bow; Not truth but falsehood predominates in the land; yes, they go from crime to crime.

There is no such truth to what people call a “white lie”. A lie is a lie, there are no big and little lies. People try to down size sins by deceiving themselves in making them out to be innocent, causing no damage. They can’t see the damage they are doing to themselves when they Live in Lies because the darkness is blinding and no one can see in the dark.

Is God Your Father or Is Satan Your Father? Who Do You Obey?

John 8:44, ‘The devil is your father, and you prefer to do what your father wants. He was a murderer from the start; he was never grounded in the truth; there is no truth in him at all; when he lies he is drawing on his own store, because he is a liar, and the father of lies.

Satan lied to Eve about partaking of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 3:3-4, But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, ‘You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death.’ Then the serpent said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die!’

Satan lied to Eve and he will lie to you. He will try every trick in the book to get you to fail and fall as Adam and Eve have fallen. He knows scripture too and he can use it against you. He can help you deceive yourself. Keep away from him by focusing your eyes on God, by following Jesus, getting baptized with the Holy Spirit, by praying, reading God’s Word and stop sinning.

Lying About Being Righteous and Therefore Being a Liar

1 John 1:10, To say that we have never sinned is to call God a liar and to show that His Word is not in us.

1 John 2:4, Anyone who says, ‘I know Him (God)’, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, refusing to admit the truth.

1 John 2:22-23, The man that denies that Jesus is the Christ–he is the liar, he is Antichrist; and he is denying the Father as well as the Son because no one who has the Father can deny the Son, and to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father as well.

1 John 4:20, Anyone who says, ‘I love God’, and hates his brother, is a liar, since a man who does not love the brother that he can see cannot love God, whom he has never seen.

1 John 5:10, Everybody who believes in the Son of God has this testimony inside him; and anyone who will not believe God is making God out to be a liar, because he has not trusted the testimony God has given about His Son.

As you can see, there is a difference in who we serve and it is plain and simple, written in black and white in the Bible. The truth is within you, but we keep it locked up because of the darkness that we keep because we belong to the world and worship the things of the world. The world rules us, it is our king.

Until we recognize Jesus as our King and surrender to Him, we will belong to the world and our father will be known as Satan and not God our creator.

You can continue to serve Satan and end up in the Lake of Fire that was prepared for him and all others who refuse to serve God or you can change your ways and follow Jesus Christ, God’s blessed Son and our Savior and live eternity in heaven.

God Reveals the Wicked and the Evil

Isaiah 44:25, I am He who foils the omens of wizards and makes fools of diviners, who makes sages recant and shows the nonsense of their knowledge.

Revelation 21:8, But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and fornicators, and for fortune-tellers, idolaters or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning Lake of Sulphur.

Isaiah 59:1-4, No, the hand of Yahweh is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have made a gulf between you and your God. Your sins have made Him veil His face so as not to hear you, since your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with crime, your lips utter lies, your tongues murmur treachery.

No one makes just accusations or pleads sincerely. All rely on nothingness, utter falsehood, conceive harm and give birth to misery.

First, a gulf is a deep wide chasm; an abyss. In Luke 16:19-31 there is a story about a rich man and a poor man named Lazarus. The rich man is in Hades and the poor man is in the bosom of Abraham and there is a gulf that separates them.

In the spirit world there is a gulf that separates good from evil and sinners from the virtuous. Those that sin have created a gulf between God and themselves. The only way to get on the side of God is to repent and believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus Knows God the Father and is Faithful to Him

Jesus replied to the Jews in John 8:55, ‘although you do not know Him (God). But I know Him, and if I were to say: I do not know Him, I should be a liar, as you are liars yourselves (the Jews). But I do know Him and I faithfully keep His word.

Jesus knows God the Father and He can help us get to know God the Father as well. We need to learn how to be faithful and obedient to God. Follow Jesus and learn to listen to Him because He can help you to learn what you need to do to overcome your sins. In time, He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit who will also help you learn about God and connect with Him.

Discernment Helps to Know What is Truth and What is False

Revelation 2:2, ‘I (Jesus) know all about you: how hard you work and how much you put up with. I know you cannot stand wicked men, and how you tested the imposters who called themselves apostles and proved they were liars.’

It’s important to know truth and have the gift of discernment so that you can tell if anyone is true to the Lord or are preaching and teaching a different gospel.

Romans 3:4, God will always be true even though everyone proves to be false.

We need to seek truth and experience the truth so that we understand what the truth is. Pray for the gift of discernment, it will help you to know what is truth and what is false.

It’s vitally important to know the difference because you could be being led in the wrong direction. You could also wind up believing in things that will lead you into damnation.

Christians Revealed False Teachers

Revelation 2:2, ‘I (Jesus) know all about you: how hard you work and how much you put up with. I know you cannot stand wicked men, and how you tested the imposters who called themselves apostles and proved they were liars.’

It’s important to know truth and have the gift of discernment so that you can tell if anyone is true to the Lord or are preaching and teaching a different gospel.

Here is one on sins and confession: Acknowledge Your Sins and Make a Confession

Truth

Ask God to Show You His Will for You

Psalm 25:4-5, Yahweh, make your ways known to me, teach me your paths. Set me in the way of your Truth, and teach me, for you are the God who saves me.

Psalm 25:8-10, Yahweh is so good, so upright, He teaches the way to sinners; in all that is right He guides the humble, and instructs the poor in His way. All Yahweh’s paths are love and Truth for those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

Psalm 86:11, Yahweh, teach me your way, how to walk beside you faithfully, make me single-hearted in fearing your name.

Put Your Trust in God and Not in Man Including Yourself

Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust wholeheartedly in Yahweh, put no faith in your own perception; in every course that you take, have Him in mind: He will see that your paths are smooth.

Proverbs 8:5-7, You ignorant ones! Study discretion; and you fools, come to your senses! Listen, I have serious things to tell you, from my lips come honest words. My mouth proclaims the Truth, wickedness is hateful to my lips.

Practice Honesty in Your Life-Do Not Lie

Proverbs 12:17, To tell the Truth is to further justice, a false witness is nothing but deceit.

Proverbs 12:19, Lips that tell the Truth abide firm for ever, the tongue that lies lasts only for a moment.

Proverbs 23:23, Truth you must purchase, never sell; this is wisdom, discipline, and discernment.

Jesus Was Known as an Honest Man and Teacher

Mark 12:13-14, Next they sent to Him some Pharisees and some Herodians to catch Him out in what He said. These came and said to Him, ‘Master, we know you are an honest man, that you are not afraid of anyone, because a man’s rank means nothing to you, and that you teach the way of God in all honesty.

This why it is so important to be honest and be without speaking falsehoods. If we are going to spread the Word of God and teach it, then we need to know truth. You do need to understand Truth and understanding Truth only comes by experience.

Grace and Truth Have Come to Us Through Jesus Christ

John 1:14, The Word was made flesh, He (Jesus) lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory that is His as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and Truth.

John 1:16-17, Indeed, from His fulness we have, all of us, received–yes, grace in return for grace, since, though the Law was given through Moses, grace and Truth have come through Jesus Christ.

Wrong-doers are in the Darkness and Those That Do Right are in the Light

John 3:20-21, And indeed, everybody who does wrong hates the light and avoids, for fear his actions should be exposed; but the man who lives by the Truth comes out into the Light, so that it may be plainly seen that what He does is done in God.

Truth is hated by those that want to please the flesh. You can’t satisfy the desires of the flesh if you want to know Truth. Truth is avoided by those that want to live a worldly life and those that do, are loved by the world.

Those that seek truth are loved by God and Jesus. They will help anyone seeking to live by the Truth and not by the desires of the their flesh. The world will hate them as they hated Jesus.

John 15:18-19, ‘If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you do not belong to the world, because my choice withdrew you from the world therefore the world hates you.’

A Child of God Listens to the Word of God

John 8:42-47, Jesus answered, ‘If God were your Father, you would love me, since I have come here from God; yes, I have come from Him; not that I came because I chose, no, I was sent and by Him. Do you know why you cannot take in what I say? It is because you are unable to understand my language.

The devil is your father, and you prefer to do what you father wants. He was a murderer from the start; he was never grounded in the Truth; there is no Truth in him at all: when he lies he is drawing on his own store, because he is a liar, and the father of lies.

But as for me, I speak the Truth and for that very reason, you do not believe me. Can one of you convict me of sin? If I speak the Truth, why do you not believe me? A child of God listens to the Words of God; if you refuse to listen, it is because you are not God’s children.’

Listen to God’s Word by following Jesus. Jesus and God’s Holy Spirit will teach you everything you need to become a child of God. Not only that, but they will bring you to spiritual maturity as well.

The Advocate, The Holy Spirit

John 14:6, Jesus said’ ‘ I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.’

Jesus is the only way to the Father and that is why He says to pick up your cross daily and follow Him. We have a lot to do before we can get to know who God is.

Experience the Truth and Understand

John 14:15-17, ‘If you love Me you will keep my commandments. I shall ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you for ever, that Spirit of Truth whom the world can never receive since it neither sees nor knows him; but you know him, because he is with you, he is in you.’

This is a scripture that has to be experienced before you can understand it. You will be walking in the spirit and not in the flesh. When you experience this scripture, it will be a time you will never forget.

Recognizing the Holy Spirit

John 14:26, ‘but the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said to you.’

You will recognize the Advocate, that Holy Spirit. He is going to be with you forever, not coming and going as He is know to do. You will listen to Him and He will guide you.

The Holy Spirit will be with us always and He will help us to discern Truth from false teachings. The Holy Spirit will help us to get to know God.

John 15:26-27, ‘When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who issues from the Father, He will be my witness. And you too will be witnesses’ because you have been with me from the outse.’

When we are baptized with the Holy Spirit and are taught Truth we will also become witnesses of the Truth that is God, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and the scriptures that are written in the bible, God’s Word. When we become witnesses, we will be able to testify to what is Truth.

The Holy Spirit Will Show the World How Wrong It Is

John 16:7-11, ‘Still, I (Jesus) must tell you the Truth: it is for your own good that I am going because unless I go, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I do go, I will send Him to you. And when He comes, He will show the world how wrong it was, about sin.

About who is in the right, and about judgement: about sin: proved by their refusal to believe in Me; about who was in the right: proved by my going to the Father and your seeing me no more; about judgement: proved by the prince of this world being already condemned.’

Be Consecrated in Truth

John 17:17-19, ‘Consecrate them in Truth; your word is Truth. As you sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate myself, so that they too may be consecrated in Truth.’

Seek the Truth Diligently and Listen

John 1:14, The Word was made flesh, He (Jesus) lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory that is His as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and Truth.

John 1:16-17, Indeed, from His fulness we have, all of us, received–yes, grace in return for grace, since, though the Law was given through Moses, grace and Truth have come through Jesus Christ.

John 18:37, ‘So you are a king then?’, said Pilate. ‘It is you who say it’, answered Jesus. ‘Yes, I am a king, I was born for this, I came into the world for this: to bear witness to the Truth; and all who are on the side of Truth listen to my voice.’

Jesus is Truth and He will prove it to you, all you have to do is surrender to Him and believe in Him. He will reveal Himself to you. He loves you and He wants to help you. Give Him a chance, you won’t regret it.

You Do Not Want to Experience the Anger of God

Romans 1:18, The anger of God is being revealed from heaven against all the impiety and depravity of men who keep Truth imprisoned in their wickedness.

Romans 2:7-8, For those who sought renown and honor and immortality by always doing good there will be eternal life; for the unsubmissive who refused to take the Truth for their guide and took depravity instead, there will be anger and fury.

God is serious about His punishment that He lays out for those who do not wish to live the life that He has laid out for them. They reject His invite to escape judgement and persecution, not good, not good at all.

How Serious is God?

Here are a couple of scriptures to show you that God means what He says (there are more if you would like to read them):

Revelation 20:15, ‘and anybody whose name could not be found written in the book of life was thrown into the burning lake.’

These are the things that will condemn us: Galatians 5:19-21, When self-indulgence is at work, the results are obvious: fornication, gross indecency and sexual irresponsibility; idolatry and sorcery; feuds and wrangling, jealousy, bad temper and quarrels; disagreements, factions, envy, drunkenness, orgies and similar things. I warn you now, as I warned you before: those who behave like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The Time is Already Here and it Has Been For a Long Time

2 Timothy 4:3-5, The time is sure to come when, far from being content with sound teaching, people will be avid for the latest novelty and collect for themselves a whole series of teachers according to their own tastes; and then, instead of listening to the Truth, they will turn to myths.

Be careful always to choose the right course; be brave under trials; make the preaching of the Good News your life’s work, in thoroughgoing service.

The scripture says it all, unfortunately, they are trying to get churches to adopt a doctrine that if they don’t, they may be forced to shut down. Sadly enough, there will be some churches that bow down to Satan and accept to do what he wants.

The whole assembly that belong to these churches will face the wrath of God. This is where the Mark of the Beast will most likely be, in the worship of an evil church and submitting to the doctrines of man and not God.
People that are not rooted in Truth only believe in their own understanding which will bring for themselves condemnation. All through the bible, God’s Word warns about us deceiving ourselves. Seek the Truth.

John 4:23-24, But the hour will come–in fact it is here already–when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and Truth: this is the kind of worshipper the Father wants. God is spirit and those that worship must worship in spirit and Truth.

You can’t worship God when you rebel against Him and that is what the churches are doing when they accept and welcome what goes against God’s Word and His creation. You also can’t worship God if you don’t turn your will over to Him and follow His blessed Son, Jesus Christ.

Chosen His Children by the Message of Truth

James 1:18, By His own choice He made us His children by the message of the Truth so that we would be a sort of first-fruits of all that He had created.

Ephesians 6:14-17, So stand your ground with Truth buckled round your waist, and integrity for a breastplate, wearing for shoes on your feet the eagerness to spread the gospel of peace. Also, always carrying the shield of faith so that you can use it to put out the burning arrows of the evil one. And then you must accept salvation from God to be your helmet and receive the Word of God from the Spirit to use as a sword.

Be a Disciple of Jesus Christ

John 8:31-32, To the Jews that believed in Him Jesus said, ‘If you make my word your home you will indeed be my disciples, you will learn the Truth and the Truth will make you free.’

Jesus will accept all of those who believe in Him and wish to be a disciple of His. He will teach you the Truth.

May God Bless You

By the Grace of God Are You Seeking the Truth or Avoiding it?

Jesus Conquered the World | Jesus Knows Our Weaknesses

February 7th, 2026 John P

Jesus Conquered the World – We Can Too

Jesus Conquered the World | Jesus Knows Our Weaknesses

Conquered the World

Jesus was telling His disciples about what was coming up soon. He was trying to reassure them that He would be coming back to them after His death.

Jesus says to His disciples in John 16:33, ‘ I have told you all this so that you may find peace in Me. In the world you will have trouble, but be brave: I have conquered the world.’

The peace that Jesus is talking about comes from within, but can only happen if you follow Him. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’. Jesus will bring us to that inner peace by helping us to conquer the world and ourselves. It will take a lot of work and sacrifices on our part.

Our Negative Nature

We have this negative nature that likes to stir up trouble in our minds and emotions. We see them as, pleasures and desires, worries, fears and doubts and they can cause us stress, self-pity, despair and depression. These things happen because of our lack of faith and trust in God.

Only by picking up our cross daily and following Jesus will we be able to do what is necessary to leave the flesh behind and start walking in the spirit. Jesus knows our weaknesses and He will be able to help us overcome our sinful nature.

We Shouldn’t Be Ruling Our Own Life

Nothing good like everlasting, true happiness, peace and joy could ever come from us. Man keeps trying, but he hasn’t been successful yet and never will be because man has a wicked and evil heart. Man needs to humble himself and surrender himself to God. He needs to give up trying to govern his life on his own because in the end, it will have accomplished nothing but emptiness.

Back in the beginning, Adam and Eve lost their connection to God by disobeying Him, they lost the Holy Spirit. God had no choice but to ban them from the garden of Eden so they wouldn’t eat from the tree of life and live forever. God didn’t want man to live forever in sin.

Jesus is Sent by God to Bring us the Good News

Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph and when He grew up to about 30 years old He started His ministry. He did a lot in the 3 years of His ministry before His death, resurrection and ascension into heaven. He healed people, went from town to town teaching about the Kingdom of God, and what we need to do to enter the into God’s Kingdom.

Jesus was teaching about how to find true peace, not the peace that man thinks he can find and establish. Also, about how to conquer the world spiritually by picking up our cross daily and following Him. We can’t do this on our own, we need God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in order to overcome our human nature and this passing world.

After we give our life over to God and believe that Jesus died on the cross for us, we will find trouble in the world like Jesus warns us. We do not need to worry about this because as long as we trust in Jesus, He will be there for us and He will show us the way to conquer the world spiritually as He did.

Jesus is the Truth

We will need to seek the truth in Jesus because it’s one thing to know truth, but to understand truth, it takes experience. This is so true because there are a lot of scriptures that need to be experienced before you can truly understand them. If we want to experience truth, we are going to have to rely on Jesus to bring us to truth.

Nothing Can Hide From God

Hebrews 4:12-13, The Word of God is something alive and active: it cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely: it can slip through the place where the soul is divided from the spirit, or joints from the marrow; it can judge the secret emotions and thoughts. No created thing can hide from Him; everything is uncovered and open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account of ourselves.

We can learn many things from the Word of God like, truth, wisdom, knowledge, love, humility and so on. We can learn how to overcome our wicked and evil nature and be able to love without hate and want nothing more than to please God. Pray to God to bring you to repentance.

Jesus Knows Our Weaknesses

Hebrews 4:14-16, Since in Jesus, the Son of God, we have the supreme High Priest who has gone through to the highest heaven, we must never let go of the faith that we have professed.

For it is not as if we had a high priest who was incapable of feeling our weaknesses with us; but we have one who has been tempted in every way that we are, though He is without sin.

Let us be confident, then, in approaching the throne of grace, that we shall have mercy from Him and find grace when we are in need of help.

Jesus has compassion for us, He knows all the pain and suffering that we go through. He lived here on earth for 33 years. God’s grace will give us the strength we need to make it through all our pains and sufferings, we need to have faith and trust in Him that He will take care of us.

Jesus Won an Eternal Redemption for Us

Hebrews 9:11-12, But now Christ has come, as the High Priest of all blessings which were to come. He has passed through the greater, the more perfect tent, which is better than the one made by men’s hands because it is not of this created order.

And He has entered the sanctuary once and for all, taking with Him not the blood of goats and bull calves, but His own blood, having won an eternal redemption for us.

Jesus died for us as He gave His life as a blood sacrifice so that our sins may be forgiven and we can find redemption in Him. We should take advantage of this and appreciate what God and Jesus has done for us. You can reject this and when you die, according to the the Word of God, you will find yourself in the Lake of Fire for eternity.

Believe God’s Good News

1 Peter 4:17, The time has come for the judgement to begin at the household of God; and if what we know now is only the beginning, what will it be when it comes down to those who refuse to believe God’s Good News?

When you die you will be judged on how you lived your life. If your name is not found in the book of Life, you will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. Ask yourself “What’s it going to be, life or death?”

Love One Another

Matthew 25:40, And the King (Jesus) will answer, ‘I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.’

When you show love to one another you also show it to Jesus. Jesus teaches us to ‘Love One Another’ as He has loved us. He gave us a new commandment: ‘Love one another as I have loved you’.

Divine Love of God

In the beginning Adam was made in the image of God and that image is Love, the uncreated Divine Love of God. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they lost the Holy Spirit and gained the knowledge of good and evil. They also gained human emotions like created love and hate.

Jesus conquered the world so that He could be there for us and show us how to overcome the flesh and reconnect to God so that we can walk in the spirit and walk no more in the flesh. God will remove the created Love and Hate emotions and replace it with His uncreated Divine Love.

Jesus Returns to Rule the New World

If only the people of this world would seek God and also want to exchange their love and hate for the Divine Love of God, this world would be perfect. Someday it will be that way when Jesus returns to establish the New Government of God. Jesus will be King and He rule with an iron scepter.

May God Bless You with Hid Divine Love and Grace

Jesus Will be King for All People | King of Kings | Kingdom of God

January 13th, 2026 John P

Can Pride Keep You From Repenting?

Repent and sin no more | Confess Your Sins

Jesus Will be King of Kings for All People

Judges 21:25, In those days there was no king in Israel, and every man did as he pleased.

This scripture is so true when you see how it is no different today then it was back in those days. In the Old Testament they had God to follow if they chose to. In these days, the New Testament, we have Jesus as a choice to follow and when He returns, Jesus will be King of Kings for all people, not just Israel.

As long as you do not accept Jesus (the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords) you can say, ‘I’m going to do as I please and follow my own desires’. In other words, you can rule your own life and be your own king but, there are consequences to this way of living.

First and foremost, you do not have Jesus as your Savior. All you have is the world and the world cannot save you because the world is nothing but vanity. When you die, you are left with nothing.

You can’t go to heaven because you rejected Jesus, the Son of God, King of Kings. Therefore, you reject Jesus, you reject God as well. You see, the only place left to go is the Lake of Fire where all the others are going who rejected Jesus.

The Lake of Fire and The Sacrificial Lamb

Matt.25:41, Next He will say to those on His left hand, “Go away from me with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”

God didn’t prepare the Lake of Fire for us, He prepared it for the devil and his angels. He sent Jesus to give us the Good News about the Kingdom of God. Jesus came to be the sacrificial Lamb so that those who believe and don’t reject Him can be forgiven of their sins.

God Gave Us a Way Out of Condemnation

John 3:16-18, ‘Yes, God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not be lost but may have eternal life. For God sent His Son into the world not to condemn the world, but so that through Him the might be saved.

No one who believes in Him will be condemned; but whoever refuses to believe is condemned already, because he has refused to believe in the name of God’s only Son.

Detach Your Heart From this Passing World

1 John 2:15-17, ‘You must not love this passing world or anything that is in the world. The love of the Father cannot be in any man that loves the world.

The things the world has to offer like–the sensual body, the lustful eye, pride in possessions–could never come from the Father but only from the world. And the world, with all it craves for, is coming to an end; but anyone who does the will of God remains forever.’

Jesus tells us this: John 15:18-19, ‘If the world hates you, remember that it hated me before you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own.’ Your choice.

Christians are being persecuted all over the world. The world hates them just as Jesus foretold His apostles but, the believers in Christ don’t renounce Him because they have faith and they know there is a better life waiting for them.

Pride is the Root of All Sin

Ecclesiasticus 10:12-13, The beginning of human pride is to desert the Lord, and to turn one’s heart away from one’s maker. Since the beginning of pride is sin, whoever clings to it will pour forth filth.

Ecclesiasticus 10:18, Pride was not created for men, nor furious rage for those born of woman.

Repent — Cease to Sin and Change Your Lifestyle

Psalm 7:10-12, God is the shield that protects me, He preserves upright hearts. God the righteous judge is slow to anger, but He is a God who is always enraged by those who refuse to repent.

Matthew 3:2, John the Baptist said, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand’.

Deceiving Ourselves and Refusing to Admit the Truth

James 1:14-15, Everyone who is tempted is attracted and seduced by his own wrong desire. Then the desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it too has a child, and the child is death.

1 John 1:8-10, If we say we have no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves and refusing to admit the truth; but if we acknowledge our sins, but God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and purify us from everything that is wrong. To say that we have never sinned is to call God a liar and to show that His word is not in us.

The People Confess Their Sins and Are Baptized

Matthew 3:5-6, ‘Then Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole Jordan district made their way to him (John the Baptist), and as they were baptized by him in the river Jordan they confessed their sins’. (Also in Mark 1:4-5).

James 5:16, So, confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, and this will cure you.

Jesus and Two Criminals Crucified

Luke 23:39-43, ‘One of the criminals hanging there abused Him. ‘Are you not the Christ?’ he said, ‘Save yourself and us as well’. But the other spoke up and rebuked him.

‘Have you no fear of God at all?’ he said. ‘You got the same sentence as He did, but in our case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong.’

‘Jesus’ he said, ‘Remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ ‘Indeed I promise you,’ He replied, ‘Today you will be with me in paradise.’

It appears that the first criminal does not care to own up to his wrong doing. He is not remorseful for doing the wrong that he did. All he cares about is escaping the consequences that he was sentenced to as judgement for the crime he committed. We don’t know what this man thought about later on but, at this point his last thought was asking Jesus to help him escape his punishment.

Next, we have the second criminal rebuking what the first criminal was pleading to Jesus about. The second criminal acting out of humility and showing respect to God admitted that he did wrong and that his punishment was justified.

In this man’s last hour he confessed his wrong doing openly and did not try to hide it. He recognized Jesus as an innocent man and as his Savior by asking Jesus to remember him. Jesus told the man that He promised He will and that he will be with Him in paradise.

Acknowledge Your Sins and Admit Them To Yourself | Confess Them to God and to Another Person

The first part of this spiritual exercise is to acknowledge your sins. If you are not familiar with all of the sins that we commit, you can look them up in the bible. For instance, these scriptures lists many of them:

Mark 7:21-23, ‘It is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For it is from within, from men’s hearts, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a man unclean.’

Galatians 5:19-21, ‘When self-indulgence is at work the results are obvious: fornication, gross indecency and sexual irresponsibility; idolatry and sorcery; feuds and wrangling, jealousy, bad temper and quarrels; disagreements, factions, envy; drunkenness, orgies and similar things. I warn you now, as I warned you before: those that behave like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.’

Revelation 22:15, ‘These others must stay outside: dogs, fortune-tellers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone of false speech and false life.’

Some of the others could be: wrongs you may have done to others, resentments, hate, wishing ill things to happen to people.

Begin Meditating and Writing Your Sins Down

Find a nice quiet place or peaceful setting where you can relax and concentrate without interruption. Begin by asking Jesus give you courage and faith to help you recall the sins that you need to acknowledge and write them down.

Take however much time you wish to spend during this session. You should do this as many times as you can until you feel that you have concluded with covering all bases of the sins and your conscience is clear. Make sure that you have not left out any sin(s) because you feel they’re not appropriate.

You have to be completely honest with this spiritual exercise. This is a very humbling experience and it could lead you to a spiritual awakening.

Once you have completed writing down your sins, you will need to find someone that you feel you can trust. Someone like a pastor, a counselor, someone in the clergy, or someone you feel comfortable with and trust.

Confess Your Sins

Confess your sins to whomever you chose and to God. Spend some time going over your sins. Discuss the difficult ones that you may have trouble with or overcoming.

After you have finished confessing your sins to yourself, God and another person, pray about these sins, forgive yourself and ask God to forgive you and ask Him to remove these sins. Then you can take the paperwork that you wrote your sins down on an destroy them as you like.

Many Benefits to This Spiritual Exercise

There are many benefits to this spiritual exercise that will help you miraculously. It’s a part of picking up your cross daily and following Jesus. It will bring you closer to Him and God. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and Life. Follow Him and He will help you overcome all things that keep that you separated from God.

Using a Journal

There is one item that you may want to start as a daily routine and that would be to keep a journal. Write down the things that you do wrong in the course of the day like, bad thoughts, things you may did or didn’t do, something you might have said like gossiping, etc., etc.

Then at the end of the day, review your journal and evaluate what you wrote down. Take one and think about what you can do to change this negative to a positive.

This will likely take practice but, it will help you to raise your awareness level. The more you are able to change, the better and more manageable your life will be.

Examine Yourself Before Judgement Comes

Ecclesiasticus 18:19-22, ‘Learn before you speak, take care of yourself before you fall ill. Examine yourself before judgement comes, and on the day of visitation you will find yourself acquitted.

Humble yourself before you fall ill, and when you sin repent. Let nothing prevent your discharging a vow in good time, and do not wait till death before setting matters to right.’

Examine yourself daily, read the bible, pray and ask God for forgiveness of your sins.

By the Grace of God Are You Seeking the Truth or Avoiding it?

December 21st, 2025 John P

By the Grace of God Are You Seeking the Truth or Avoiding it?

Grace of God | Divine Love | Seek Truth | Faith and Humility

Being Touched by the Grace of God

It was a beautiful thing finding the Lord and being touched by the grace of God. The blessings that I received from God were unspeakable and filled with His love. Then the time came when I was going to have to learn what to do to draw closer to God and be obedient to Him. Well, this is where seeking Truth comes in.

After I decided that I was going to give my life over to the Lord and exchange my will for God’s will, I knew that I was going to have to change my life and my lifestyle for the sake of overcoming my sinful nature. I never realized that it was going to be that difficult and painful but, it was well worth it.

Sometimes You Just Don’t Want To Hear It

I remember many years ago going to church and sitting there listening to the pastor preach. It was nice until he would quote a scripture from the bible and start to preach on it because sometimes it would be something that I did not want to hear. I’m sure this is something that happened to all of us at one time or another.

Pray for the Gift of Discernment

You know what I mean when we respond to ourselves by saying, “I’m going to have to give that up? ” or “I’m going to have to stop doing that? “. The Truth can hurt and cause us to try and manipulate it in a way that we end up deceiving ourselves into believing that we don’t need to stop what we were doing because we can’t see the wrong in it. This is where we need to pray for the gift of discernment.

Discernment is so important to understanding what is Truth and what isn’t. I say this because Truth comes from God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Word of God which is in the bible. God warns us not to put our trust in man (Jeremiah 17:7) and for good reason.

Trust God Only and Not Man

There are many pastors, preachers, teachers, etc., etc. that either think they know truth or they pretend to. There are those that preach half truth to make money from people or to make a living preaching at a church, on the internet or some other way that they can make a dollar.

It can be deadly for you because you put your trust in man for truth and not the Lord. I’m not saying don’t go to church or anything like that but, you need to arm yourself with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Walk in the Flesh or in the Spirit

No one said that the transition from walking in the flesh to walking in the spirit was going to be easy. It helps though when we build a relationship with Jesus Christ, He is the Way, the Truth and Life. Jesus will guide us and help us overcome our fleshly pleasures and desires.

Battle Between the Spirit and the Flesh

I’m not lying when I tell you that there will be a serious battle between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh will want to remain dominate over the spirit, it doesn’t want to give up the worldly life. The spirit keeps growing in Faith and Humility which brings darkness upon the flesh because the flesh has lost a lot of its freedom to seek pleasures and desires for itself.

It’s understandable that we lived the worldly life for so long that we looked at it only in one way, the way of our flesh. With its pleasures and desires of want it seemed so normal that we considered it the right way to live. In other words, we had to please the flesh. Forget about others, they came second because we needed to take care of us first.

It Becomes a Joy to Seek the Truth

As time went on the Truth was getting easier to accept so much so that, in time, I found myself seeking the Truth more and more and not shying away from it. It’s actually a joy to find seek the Truth and find it. What a Blessing!
It was by the grace of God that I was able to endure the hardships and tests and trials. I was able to grow stronger in faith, patience, love, humility and the ability to overcome temptation.

Seeing the Glory of God

All Glory to God. I thank Him for His divine love, wisdom, mercy, forgiveness, protection from my enemies, blessings and being there for me whenever I need Him. And most of all, for Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit.

May God Bless You With His Divine Love

Virtuous | Scornful People | Scoffers

December 13th, 2025 John P

Virtuous | Scornful People | Scoffers

Virtuous | Scoffers | Scornful People | Chosen Ones

The Virtuous and the Scoffers

Wisdom 3:1-5, ‘But the souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God, no torment shall ever touch them. In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, their going looked like a disaster, their leaving us, like annihilation; but they are in peace.

If they experienced punishment as men see it, their hope was rich with immortality; slight was their affliction, great will their blessings be. God has put them to the test and proved them worthy to be with Him.’

The virtuous are sons of God and He will protect them. God will shield them from the evil ones and they will be blessed with peace. These virtuous ones, sons of God, overcame their sins like, pleasures and desires of the flesh, and temptations.

A part of belonging to God is going through tests and trials from time to time. Growing strong in faith, humility and love just to name a few are virtues we need to help us overcome ourselves and draw nearer to God. God loves and trusts those that are obedient to Him.

The Chosen to Rule Over People and Nations with Jesus our King

Wisdom 3:7-9, When the time comes for His visitation they will shine out; as sparks run through the stubble, so will they. They shall judge nations, rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their King forever.

They who trust in Him will understand the truth, those who are faithful will live with Him in love; for grace and mercy await those He has chosen. The chosen ones that are mentioned are those that God can trust not to fail Him. They have proved themselves by being tested by God. They keep His commandments

These are the ones who will help Jesus set up a new government that will rule over all nations at the end time and forever more. This will be when Jesus returns the second time to get His bride.

Great White Throne Judgement

Wisdom 3:10, ‘But the godless will be duly punished for their reasoning, for neglecting the virtuous man and deserting the Lord.’

I have seen virtuous, God loving people neglected and shunned by their own church people and even the pastor. This is what Jesus said; Luke 4:24, And He went on, ‘I tell you solemnly, no prophet is ever accepted in his own country (town, city, home, community, etc.). A Prophet could also be a teacher of God’s word, one who has been taught by God, Jesus and the Holy spirit.

Scornful People

Wisdom 3:11-12, ‘Yes, wretched are they who scorn wisdom and discipline: their hope is void, their toil unavailing, their achievements unprofitable; their wives are reckless, their children depraved, their descendants accursed.’

A scornful person is one whose pride rules their heart. They walk in the darkness and not in the light. They are usually anti-God and anti-Christ. They don’t seek wisdom or truth and so, they travel the road to perdition. The consequences of being scornful is you end up driving yourself further away from God.

Proverbs 1:22, ‘You ignorant people, how much longer will you cling to your ignorance? How much longer will mockers revel in their mocking and fools hold knowledge contemptible?

Psalm 1:1, Happy the man who never follows the advice of the wicked, or loiters on the way that sinners take or sits about with scoffers.

Psalm 1:6, For Yahweh takes, care of the way the virtuous go, but the way of the wicked is doomed.

As you can see what is written in scripture about being scornful and/or a scoffer that their life is dark and wicked. They carry a lot of hate in their heart towards those that are trying to live a life loving one a another and working toward pleasing God.

The Book of Life – Is Your Name In It

Wisdom 4:19, ‘Soon they will be corpes without honor, objects of scorn among the dead forever. The Lord will dash them down headlong, dumb. He will tear them from their foundations, they will be utterly laid waste, anguish will be theirs, and their memory shall perish.’

Life is short, it’s like a puff of smoke in the wind, it vanishes quickly and once you die, it’s over. There is no way to repent or confess your sins or call on Jesus to save you. When you’re standing there at the great white throne judgement there will be the book of life and others books.

You will be judged by how you lived your life. Revelation 20:15, And anybody whose name could not be found written in the book of life was thrown into the burning lake. Will your name be found in the book of life?

Reading on there is testimony of the wicked and scornful people that never gave up their pride for humility. Their eyes opened when they see the crimes of their wickedness brought against them at the last judgement.

The Eyes of the Wicked and Scornful People are Opened

Wisdom 4:20, ‘They will come trembling to the reckoning of their sins, and their crimes, confronting them, will accuse them.’

Wisdom 5:1-9 ‘Then the virtuous man stands up boldly to face those who have oppressed him, those who thought so little of his sufferings.

And they, at the site of him, will shake with cowards’ fear, amazed he should be saved so unexpectedly. Stricken with remorse, each will say to the other, say with a groan and in distress of spirit:

‘This is the man we used to laugh at once, a butt for our sarcasm, fools that we were! His life we regarded as madness, his ending as without honor. How has he come to be counted as one of the sons of God? How does he come to be assigned a place among the saints?

Clearly we have strayed from the way of Truth; the light of justice has not shone for us, the sun never rose on us. We have left no path of lawlessness or ruin unexplored, we have crossed deserts where there was no track, but the way of the Lord is one we have never known.

Arrogance, what advantage has this brought us? Wealth and boasting, what have these conferred on us? All those things have passed like a shadow, passed like a fleeting rumor.’

Stop Rebelling Against God

Wisdom 5:14, Yes, the hope of the godless is like chaff carried on the wind, like fine spray driven by the gale; it disperses like smoke before the wind, goes like the memory of a one-day guest.

This will be the future for many that have died and that are going to die because they refused to stop rebelling against God. Also by refusing to accept His blessed Son Jesus Christ whose life was sacrificed for us so that we may be forgiven of our sins. The second death awaits them.

Wisdom 5:15, But the virtuous live for ever, their recompense lies with the Lord, the Most High takes care of them. So they shall receive the royal crown of splendor, the diadem of beauty from the hand of the Lord; for He will shelter them with His right hand and shield them with His arm.

The virtuous ones will be rewarded with ever lasting eternal life. To be with God and Jesus Christ for eternity will be awesome beyond words.

The Wicked and the Evil-Doers Will be Destroyed

Wisdom 5:23, The breath of Omnipotence will blow against them and winnow them like a hurricane. So lawlessness will bring the whole earth to ruin and evil-doing bring the thrones of the mighty down.

According to scripture, in the end times there will be much lawlessness in the world. People will become lovers of them selves and so on. God is our only security in this world. We need Him to make it through whatever troubles come our way.

The Virtuous Man Should Have No Fear

These scriptures describe the difference between the godless man and the virtuous man. The virtuous man has nothing to fear from the attacks of the godless men of the world because the father of the godless men is Satan.

As long as we have God our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in our life, we have nothing to fear. We are totally protected and armed with Faith, Truth and Love. God also shelters us from evil. Never have any worries, fears, or doubts, they can harm your faith and trust in the Lord.

There is a lot of end time revelation in these scriptures. Again, time is short, call on Jesus to come into your life. When it’s too late, it’s too late!

God Bless You!

Don’t Be Disobedient to God – Be Obedient to God and Live

December 5th, 2025 John P

Don’t Be Disobedient to God – Be Obedient to God and Live

Disobedient to God | Obedient | Righteousness | God's Grace

Obedience: is the act of following instructions or orders from a person with authority, or the trait of being willing to obey. (definitions.net)

The Fall of Man From Being Disobedient to God

Romans 5:19, ‘As by one man being disobedient (Adam) many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience (Jesus) many will be made righteous.’

Adam was disobedient to God by partaking of the fruit from the Tree of Good and Evil (Genesis 3:6). Jesus was completely obedient to God and did not sin at all. Jesus led His life according to the will of God and by being obedient to Him.

Through Suffering We Become Stronger

Hebrews 5:8, ‘Although He was Son, He learnt to obey through suffering.’

We will suffer as Jesus did by going through tests and trials, it’s part of being obedient and growing spiritually. Suffering shows us our weaknesses so that by this, we become stronger.

Tests and Trials

We can learn a lot from tests and trials. For instance, love, faith, trust, humility, about sin and the sins that we need to overcome. As we go through them we raise our awareness level, our conscience and we become more fine tuned.

God helps us get through these tests and trials by giving us grace. Also, we can’t let our pride get in the way, we need to be strong in our faith and humility. Pride can destroy any advancement you made in your spiritual growth.

There will be times when things get rough but, keep in mind the rewards that are waiting for those that succeed in overcoming themselves. Rewards such as, peace, freedom, joy, love and a sound mind.

2Cor. 10:5,6, ‘Every thought is our prisoner, captured to be brought into obedience to Christ. Once you have given your complete obedience, we are prepared to punish any disobedience.’

We Can Only Serve One Master

Romans 6:16, ‘You know that if you agree to serve and obey a master you become his slaves. You cannot be slaves of sin that leads to death and at the same time slaves of obedience that leads to righteousness.’

When we become attached to the things of this world, we become slaves of this world and disobedient to God. All that the world has to offer like, materialism, pleasures, desires, lust, envy and covetous just to name a few.

The World is Nothing but Vanity

The world is nothing but vanity, full of emptiness and death. The world can’t give you peace, joy, and happiness and if you think it does, it’s only temporary. One true thing that the world will bring that’s inevitable is death. It can’t give you life like God can.

We have to choose what Master we are going to serve; God or the world. You can choose the world which will leave you empty and naked or you can choose God and Jesus which will give you everlasting eternal life full of love, joy, peace and happiness. It’s all up to YOU!

Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God

Matthew 6:33, ‘Set your hearts on His kingdom first, and on His righteousness, and all these other things will be given you as well.’

Ask God to bring you to repentance so He and Jesus can help you change your lifestyle and be free from the bondages of this world. So, if you are feeling lonely and empty inside, call on Jesus to help you out of the darkness and into the light.

Learn Not to be Disobedient to God and not to Rebel Against Him

Romans 6:19, ‘If I may use human terms to help your natural weakness: as once you put your bodies at the service of vice and immorality, so now you must put them at the service of righteousness for your sanctification.’

1Peter 1:14, ‘Do not behave in the way you liked to before you learnt the Truth; make a habit of obedience: be Holy in all you do, since it is the Holy One (God) who has called you, and scripture says: ‘Be Holy, for I am Holy.’

In order for us not to be disobedient to God, we need to humble ourselves and acknowledge our sins. We are all sinners and we have to become aware of the sins that we commit.

We have to be completely honest with ourselves and admit the fact that we have broken the commandments that God laid out for us. Jesus also gave us two new commandments tat we need to practice.

We need God’s grace, we can’t do this on our own. God will also give us the faith we need in order to avoid spiritual death. Jesus will show us the way because He is Truth and the Life.

Pagans Seek Unspiritual Things and Christians Seek Spiritual Things

Instead of seeking and storing up treasures that you desire that will bring pleasure(s) in your life, seek and store up treasures in heaven that will bring you life.

Matthew 6:19-21, ‘Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and woodworms destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moths or woodworms destroy them and thieves cannot break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

You can live your life deceiving yourself into believing that you are free to do almost anything you want or you can ask God to help and teach you how to prepare yourself for heaven.

Disobedient or Obedient?

The wages of sin are DEATH and being obedient to God is LIFE. Your choice.

God Bless You!

Galilean Wedding | Don’t Reject Jesus Christ’s Invitation

April 5th, 2025 John P

Galilean Wedding – Communion – End Times

Galilean Wedding

Galilean Wedding | Jesus Bride | Pure White Robe

In Galilee, when a man wants to ask a woman to be his bride, the man and his father meet the woman and her father in town where there will be many witnesses. The father of his son brings with him a written covenant with stipulations that he will read to the woman that his son wants to marry.

After the covenant is read, the son will then offer a cup of wine to the woman. If the woman takes the cup and drinks from it then she accepts his proposal of marriage and if not then she rejects his offer.

Since she accepted to marry him, he will then go and prepare a place for her and him to live. The son will build an addition onto his father’s home. The bride to be will need to go and find the finest, pure white linen to make a wedding gown with. Back in the day of Jesus, the material for the gown was hard to come by.

The Time of His Coming – Go Get Your Bride

Now the bridegroom or the bride has no idea when the wedding is going to take place, only the father of the bridegroom knows. This usually takes about a year for a Galilean Wedding.

Matthew 24:36, ‘But as for that day and hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, no one but the Father only.’

Then, one night, the father of the bridegroom wakes him up and says, ‘It’s time, go get your bride.’ The two of them walk out into the street and head towards the place where the bride is staying. On the way there, the bridegroom is blowing his horn to alert the bride and all the people that were invited to the wedding that it is time.

Wedding Feast – Galilean Wedding

When the bridegroom gets his bride, they go to his father’s house for the wedding and the feast. After they have arrived and the guests have entered the house, they shut the doors and lock them. No one will be able to enter or leave for seven days. Not all those that were invited will make it to the wedding before the doors are shut.

Matthew 25:10-13, ‘Those (bridesmaids) who were ready went in with Him (Jesus) to the wedding hall and the door was closed. The other bridesmaids arrived later. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said ‘open the door for us.’ But He replied, ‘I tell you solemnly, I do not know you.’ So stay awake you do not know either the day or the hour.’

Don’t Reject Jesus Christ’s Invitation – Galilean Wedding

Many people have rejected the invitation to the wedding and some did not prepare themselves for the time of the wedding when God said, ‘It is time’. When Jesus comes for you, are you going to be awake or asleep? Are you going to be able to put on a pure white robe? (Rev. 7:9) Did the oil in your lamp run out? (Matthew 25:1-13).

Matthew 26:27-28, ‘Then He took a cup, and when He had returned thanks He gave it to them, ‘Drink all of you from this,’ He said ‘For this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins’. Jesus also said, ‘Do this in remembrance of Me’.

When we take the cup and drink from it, we are accepting Jesus’s proposal, the new covenant. He gave up His life for us, now we need to give up our life for Him. That is how the covenant needs to work just like a marriage. To be in union forever. Jesus is preparing a place for us, we need to prepare ourselves for Him otherwise He is not going to know us. Is there a pure, white robe waiting for you?

God has a Room to Keep Us Safe

John 14:1-4, ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God still, and trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house; if there were not, I should have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you, and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you with me; so that where I am you may be too. You know the way to the place where I am going’.

Matthew 6:6, ‘But when you pray, go to your private room and, when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.’

Isaiah 26:20-21, ‘Go into your rooms, my people, shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed. For, see, Yahweh will soon come out of His dwelling, to punish all the inhabitants of earth for their crimes. The earth will reveal its blood and no longer hide its slain.’

Rev. 3:10-11 ‘Because you kept my commandment to endure trials, I will keep you safe in the time of trial which is going to come for the whole world, to test the people of the world. Soon I will be with you: hold firmly to what you already have, and let nobody take your prize away from you.’

Jesus Turns Water Into Wine

Read John 2:1-11, These scriptures are about the first miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding at Cana in Galilee. They ran out of wine before the seven day wedding ceremony was over. In a Galilean Wedding ceremony all people involved in the ceremony, including guests had to remain there for seven days.

No one was allowed to enter or exit the home of where the ceremony was taking place. No one could go out and get more wine so they had to ask Jesus for His help.

The End Time is Near

Matthew 24:29-31, ‘Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, the moon will lose its brightness, the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven; then too all the peoples of the earth will beat their breasts; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet to gather His chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.’

1Cor 15:51-53 ‘I will tell you something that has been secret: that we are not all going to die, but we shall all be changed. This will be instantaneous, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. It will sound, and the dead will be raised, imperishable, and we shall be changed as well, because our present perishable nature must put on imperishability and this mortal nature must put on immortality.’

This is what needs to happen before we join Jesus in heaven. We do not know when He is coming for us but, we better have our robes cleansed, pure white, ready and waiting for Him. Our faith needs to be tested and true in order to succeed making it through the trials that we experience growing spiritually. This way, the Lord will keep us as He says, ‘Safe in the time of trial that is coming for the world’.

Artificial Intelligence | AI | Knowledge and Wisdom of God

July 21st, 2024 John P

AI | Artificial Intelligence

What is Artificial Intelligence?

AI | Artificial Intelligence | Wisdom and Knowledge from God

“Artificial intelligence, in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems.” Wikipedia

Why seek Artificial Intelligence that is from a machine rather than from the One true God who is real and gives out Wisdom and Knowledge freely?

The Takeover of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is showing up all over and it’s taking the place of many programs that we had to create and/or run. Soon, we won’t have to do anything, you type in some information and AI will do it for you.

Just think, oops my mistake there won’t be any need to think because AI will be doing that for us. Okay, just imagine, oops there I go again, we won’t need to imagine anymore either because AI will do that for us as well. (more…)

Thought Process | Temptation | Negative Thoughts

May 17th, 2024 John P

Thought Process and Temptation

The Thought Process and Temptation War

Thought Process | Temptation | Negative Thoughts | God Jesus Holy Spirit

Battle Your Thoughts by Changing Your Thought Process

Ephesians 6:12,13, ‘For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the Sovereignties and the Powers who originate the darkness in this world, the spiritual army of evil in the heavens. That is why you must rely on God’s armor, or you will not be able to put up any resistance when the worst happens, or have enough resources to hold your ground.’

Pray to Jesus and ask Him to clothe you in the armor of God and the helmet of salvation and the double-edge sword of truth and the shield for protection against your enemies. Pray always to God for strength to resist any and all temptations and self-indulgences and ask for help with your thought process.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5, ‘We live in the flesh, of course, but the muscles that we fight with are not flesh. Our war is not fought with weapons of flesh, yet they are strong enough, in God’s cause, to demolish fortresses. We demolish sophistries (deceptive reasoning), and the arrogance that tries to resist the knowledge of God; every thought is our prisoner, captured to be brought into obedience to Christ. Once you have given your complete obedience, we are prepared to punish any disobedience.’ (more…)

Is God’s Word Darkness?

May 13th, 2024 John P

Is God’s Word Darkness?

God's Word is Darkness to the Flesh | Light of Life | Jesus

Is God’s Word Darkness to the Flesh?

God’s Word is darkness to the flesh because the flesh belongs to the world and the world is darkness. The flesh knows no truth, it keeps the truth locked up in the soul. The flesh is nothing more than pride, it wants to cater to itself first. It rebels against God because God’s way is the opposite of the way the flesh wants to live and be.

The flesh knows very little or nothing about God’ Word, sin or repentance, and when your conscience tries to tell you that something is wrong and you want to do it anyway. You try to think of a way to justify that there is nothing wrong so that you can do it without feeling guilty. The flesh is always seeking the temporary happiness of what the world has to offer. Sometimes, the flesh will stop at nothing to acquire that happiness. (more…)
