God Forbid That I Should Sin Against God
Yesterday we did a little study on the importance of being persistent in prayer. We went over some of the examples in the Bible and there are a lot more that we didn’t even touch on. For example, there is Jesus Himself when He was in the garden of Gethsemani. How could He have the faith, how could He have the strength, how could He have the power, the peace, the calm, the presence of God with Him in the face of all that persecution and physical abuse that He received from the Jewish religious leaders and the Roman officials throughout His trial and crucifixion? How could He do what He did? How did He have the courage and the faith to go through all that humiliation and abuse bravely without complaint or fear or anguish? The only way Jesus, who had emptied Himself of the Divine nature, could do it was because He as a man got alone and spent time with His Father
We seee it many times in the Gospel s how Jesus got up early to pray, or sent away His disciples and the people and then went alone to a mountain to pray. Someimes He took His disciples to a quiet place so that they could get some rest and release from ministry and Jesus Himself could get some time alone with His father. Jesus had to get alone with God constantly. In order to have that power, that confidence, that calmness, that presence of God with Him, He had to get alone with God. In the hours before His arrest by the Jewish authorities, what does He do? He knows He is going to be betrayed. He had gone with just a few of His disciples to a mountain top outside Jerusalem and Elijah and Moses had appeared unto Him and explained what would happen in Jerusalem.
What does Jesus do that night before His arrest? He spends the night fellowshipping with His disciples, comforting them, washing their feet, telling them they should love and serve one another, telling them He’s going to the Father to prepare a place for them. After dinner they have a strange ceremony of communion where He says something about His body and His blood and a New Covenent. He sings a hymn with His disciples and walks calmly to the place of His arrest knowing that it’s all going to happen in just a few more hours. How does He manage to keep His cool? When they get to the garden, He asks His closest disciples to stay awake and pray with Him. He goes a little further away from them and cries out to God in prayer. In the Gospel of Luke we read, “He sweat drops of blood.” Todays science tells us that “sweating blood” is a phenonema of people in great anguish of heart and soul. Jesus even implores His Father to take the cup away from Him, but then submits Himself to the Father’s will.
In the Old Testament we see the same thing. We see God’s prophets getting along with God and often enough climbing a mountain to do it. Then when they come down from the mountain, they come down with power, and with something to say. They got alone with God. They got out from the multitude and went to the mountain and they heard from God. When they came back down, they had something to say. Even secular studies show that people who spend time alone are more creative. They have studies that show that people who go on regular walks also seem to be more creative.
Today we are going to talk a little more on the importance of prayer. We will be looking at 1 Samuel 8 and there abouts. The people are desiring to have a king over them. They want to have a king like the other nations round about them. Samuel tries to talk them out of the idea. He rehearses their history how God had given them judges since the death of Joshua. God’s anointing had come on a certain leader and he became the leader of the tribes and helped in judging the people. In the book of Judges you can read where it says that “Samson judged the people for so many years.” Or Jeptha judges the people for such amount of time, or Deborah judged the people. They say the Bible is a book of male chauvinism, but we see the children of Israel had a woman judge for many years. God’s spirit came down on a certain person that was yielded to Him and capable to lead and he or she would become the judge. Many times it was through some obvious miraculous feat of war against their enemies that everyone knew it was the presence of God with the leader that had given them the victory.
Samuel the prophet would travel a round in a circuit, judging the different tribes of Israel. The people would come with their complaints and problems and he would sit as a judge. In the story we will read today, Samuel is telling the people that he’s going to retire. He says, I’m old now, I put my sons in position as judges throughout the kingdom. I’m going to go home and rest. But the problem was that the sons were not like the father. The father never took a bribe. The father never extorted the people. The father made good judgment because he wasn’t influenced by money or material gain, so that he judged correctly. The people were already complaining about the sons. Your sons are not like you. They are taking bribes, not giving good judgments. Samuel was a bit upset becasue the people are asking for a king, but he went and talked to the Lord about it.
Remember Samuel had been that little child who had learned to hear from the Lord as a small child. We talked about his mother in another article. She was Hannah who had persisted in prayer for a child. She was married but wasn’t having any children. So she persisted in prayer and each year she went with her husband to the important feast and sacrífice. Her husband and her husband’s other wife also went. The other wife was already bearing children. The husband loved Hannah more even though she wasn’t bearing children and told her not to worry about it. But Hannah was in anguish of heart because she had no children to give to her husband. She prayed unto the Lord and told the Lord, open my womb and I will dedicate my first child to you for service with the High Priest.
She was weeping near to where the tabernacle had been set up, where the ark of the covenant resided, and Eli, who was the High Preist, came and saw her. Thinking she was drunk, he started to reprove her and she reponded, “No my Lord, I am a woman in much anguish of heart.” Eli realized that what she said was true and said, “Let the Lord hear all thy petitions.” Hannah went back home and soon afterwards she got pregnant and in time Samuel was born. The Bible tells us that when the child was weaned, old enough to be away from his mother, she brought him to stay with Eli. He began to learn how to serve the Lord by being a servant of the High Priest. In the house of Eli he got his training as a man of God. Hannah was fulfilling her pledge and giving her first son back to the Lord.
You may remember the story of Samuel as a young child starting to hear from the Lord. Eli was getting old and Samuel would help by bringing him his water or by bringing him the parchments. Samuel would do a lot of the physical things that were getting difficult for Eli to do seeing that he was over weight and losing his eyesight. Eli wasn’t in very good shape and he needed or was using Samuel as a servant. But at the same time Samuel was learning. Samuel was like an apprentice. Eli was teaching him through the example he was setting, good or bad. Samuel would also learn from the word of God he would hear read. He was learning God’s ways through hearing His word.
One night Samuel was in bed half asleep when he hears Eli calling. He gets up and runs to Eli’s bed and says, “Hear I am, my Lord. Did you call me?” Eli is almost sound asleep but he’s an older man and so he wakes up quite easily and says, “No, no, what are you talking about. Samuel, I didn’t call you. Go back to bed now, go on.” So Samuel goes back to bed. But the same thing happens again. Eli sends him back to bed again. But again Samuel hears for sure that voice of Eli and goes running to him. Samuel comes running in saying, “My Lord, I heard your voice. I heard you call me, Samuel, Samuel. I heard you.” Finally, Eli realizes that it must be the Lord that is trying to talk with Samuel. Therefore, Eli replies, “No, no, go back to bed, but the next time you hear the voice say, “Speak, Lord, for thy servant hears. Samuel, it’s the Lord that’s trying to speak to you. Just say, Speak, Lord, thy servant hears.”
Samuel goes back to bed and after a time in bed, again he hears the Lord speak saying, “Samuel, Samuel.” Samuel responds, “Hear I am, Lord, speak for your servant hears.” We see that Samuel as a young child learned to hear from the Lord. He learned the importance of hearing from the Lord. The Lord spoke to him and tells him of all the evil that is going to befall Eli and Eli’s sons because of their sins. Eli wasn’t so bad, but the problem was that his sons were taking bribes and laying with the woman when them came to offer sacrífice. They were using their power and position for money and for sex. They would take the better piece of the sacrífice for themselves and for their friends. And the Lord was displeased with that and displeased at Eli as a parent, and as God’s leader.
Eli’s problem was that he didn’t correct his sons. If you remember the stody of Abraham. When God choses Abraham He says specifically “For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment.”[1] God chose Abraham because He knew that Abraham would instruct them in the way of the Lord. God knew that Abraham would instruct his children and teach them to follow the Lord. How many of us as parents have failed in our responsibity as parents? We’ve failed to teach our children the importance of their having a good personal relationship with the Lord. Now we can see how importsnt it is. God’s word says, “By their fruits ye shall know them.”
How many of us as parents have good fruits? I guess it still remains to be seen. Maybe our parenting wasn’t as good as it should have been. Abraham had Isaac who followed the Lord. The fruit of Isaac was Jacob and Esau. We see that Esau didn’t follow the Lord, but Jacob did. Whether he ended up following God because of influence of his father or his mother, we don’t know. But from the Scriptures, in Jacob’s case, we know his mother did have a big influence over him. Because we see the hand of the mother, also in the story. Remember, when God gives the blessing to Abraham, calling him the father of many nations, God said, “I know Abraham will command his children after him”, or in other words, I know Abraham will instruct his children to follow after him, and therefore, after the Lord.
Getting back tothe story of Samuel, we see that Samuel learned to be a man of God through his living in the house of Eli, the High Priest. Samuel learned to spend time with the Lord. He learned to listen to the still small voice of the Lord. That’s what made him become a good judge of the people, his relationship with the Lord. Finally, Israel has a battle with the Philistines. The two sons of Eli decide to take the ark of the covenent into the battle with them thinking that it is going to save them. But they have been disobedient and therefore don’t have God’s presence in their lives. They figure, “We’ll take the ark, that will save us even if we are full of sin.” But the Lord didn’t go with them, nor bless them. They get killed in the battle.
When the word comes back to Eli, he’s sitting on a bench near a wall. He was waiting anxiously to hear how the battle has gone and what has happened to the ark of the covenent. He hadn’t wanted his sons to take the ark with them. But the sons argued with their father and took the ark in anyway. During the battle the ark of the covenent gets taken by the Philistines. When Eli hears the bad news, he falls backwards off the bench and breaks his neck on the wall behind him and dies. But it doesn’t end there. His daughter-in-law was giving birth to a son at the same time. When she hears of the death of her husband and her husband’s brother, and that the ark of the covenent has been taken, she dies in child birth. The whole family got judged in one day by the hand of the Lord, because of their transgressions.
Apostle Paul tells us that these things all happened to them as an example so that we could learn from their mistakes. We could learn to have a fear of the Lord. King Solomon wrote, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of understanding.” Getting back to the story of Samuel, we remember that the people wanted a king. Samuel first goes and talks to the Lord and the Lord tells him to explain to the people what the king will be like. Samuel goes and tells the people, “He’s going to take away your daughters to be his cooks and bakers and maids. He’s going to take away your sons to be his soldiers and cradftsmen and work his fields and care for his animals. His going to take ten percent of your grain increase and 10% of your flocks.” Samuel tries to discourage the people from wanting a king, but the people continue to insists in their desire for a king. Samuel doesn’t do anything more, but goes back and reports to the Lord. The Lord says, “Okay, if that’s what they want, we are going to give it to them.”
Samuel tells the people that Lord says He’s going to give you a king. As he dismisses the people he says to the them, “God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.” Samuel, God’s prophet, says, “Far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.” He’s telling us, that for a man or woman of God, it’s a sin if we don’t pray for others. Samuel was praying for the whole country. He knew many of them personally because he had judged their disagreements. He was praying for all the tribes of Israel daily. He tells them, “God forbid that I should sin in ceasing to pray for you,” or “Far be it from me that I should sin in ceasing to pray for you.”[2]
Yesterday, we went over the verse, “Pray without ceasing.”[3] We as God’s ministers, as God’s people, as God’s ambassadors need to be people of prayer. We need to be praying, we should be known for our prayers. When someone is sick they should say, “Oh, I know that woman in the town who prays for the sick.” We should pray and be praying, and be known for our prayer. We should be going around praying for people, praying in our homes, praying daily. We should be spending that time with God daily to make sure we have our priorities right. We should not sin by ceasing to uphold our loved ones in prayer. We should have a time of regular prayer vigil to bring our petitions before the Lord. Prayer is not the least we can do, but the most. Put God first. Spend time with Him in prayer today, tomorrow, and every day as often as possible. God will bless you and your loved ones because you prayed. Prayer moves the hand of God.

Who Will Take Up the Cross?
Dennis Edwards
Thanks for
your letter and for sharing your thoughts with me. I can agree with you in
quite a bit of what you say. As you would expect, I do not believe in and
cannot agree with microbes-to-man evolution.
Of course,
the word “evolution” has various meanings. I am referring to the creation of
life from non-life and then the process that caused that life form to change
into all the other life forms we see today over a period of millions of years.
You know the problem of life arising from non-life is ridiculous. Therefore, we
need a Creator. But the second problem with microbes-to-man evolution is that
there is no mechanism in the Neo-Darwinian Theory that is able to add the new
“information” to an organism. New biological information would be necessary in
order to change an organism from one thing into another. No known natural
process can do this.
Natural
selection and mutations actually have the opposite affect as far as DNA
information goes. Under those processes certain information is eliminated or
deformed for survival reasons. It’s kind of like the story of the man who was
hiking in the Outbacks of some western state in America. He was climbing and
accidently fell in such a position that he caught his arm in between two rocks
and was unable to pull himself free. He wasn’t able to call for help and after
a day or two in such a situation he saw that he would starve to death if he
didn’t do something drastic. He went into survival mode and decided he had to
get free or he would die.
What did he
do? He cut his arm off where it was stuck, formed some kind of a tourniquet and
was able to find his way back to civilization. Natural selection and mutations
are a similar type of survival mechanism to preserve the life of any organism.
An upward input of information would be necessary to change any one form of
life into another, but it is non-existent in nature. God formed all the life
forms, that is, the general “kinds” of life forms, but left the ability to
adapt or variate horizontally as a survival mechanism for life. He knew such a
mechanism would be necessary for the “kinds” to adapt to different environments
after the Flood. The ability to change in variation, like the changing in beak sizes
in Galápagos finches, is the survival mechanism, but does not confirm
micro-to-man evolution. Natural selection and mutations actually disproves verticle
evolution.
But like
Kiregaard said, our rejection of truth does not really stem from our doubts,
but stems from our rebellion against authority, against submission to God and
His will for our lives. Therefore, Kiregaard said, we shouldn’t spend so much time
dealing with just the intellectual aspect of doubt, but really with the moral
nature of man’s rebellion against God. In other words, our minds are not the
cause of our doubts. It’s our insubordination to submit to God, our moral
rebellion against His authority, like Melville’s Ahab’s rebellion against the
Big White Whale, that leads us to doubt. Doubts are a result of our not wanting
to submit to God’s will in our life.
When I was a
young student mad at God for taking my girlfriend away from me, I embraced
evolution. It was a good creation myth that eliminated God from the picture. I
could do what I wanted and didn’t have to conform to the Judeo-Christian
ethical system I was raised in of “don’t dos”. However, when I came to Christ
and renewed my position of submission to God’s will in my life, I accepted the
Creation narrative and found good reasons to believe so in some of the writings
of the early creationist, specifically the book “The Genesis Flood,” by
Whitcomb and Morris. That was the first time I had ever come across scientific
evidence for the Genesis Flood.
When I was
young, evolution wasn’t taught so strongly in the younger grades, but I think it
was around 1964 when the Russians launched Sputnik that the American
educational system embraced evolution and accepted it into its curriculm. The
Russians had taught it and weren’t they ahead? The Humanistic Society run by
the Huxley grandson Julian Huxley had been advocating the move to evolutionary
doctrine since the early 1930s.
My first
year in college one of the only manditory course the first year was a course in
Geology. The course taught the evolutionary time frame of millions of years.
You cannot have evolution without the millions of years. In order to be able to
defend a non-millions of years creation story, you need to do some studying.
What we are taught in the media, in “scientific” literature, and school seems
so tight fit and sure that only an “idiot” would stand up against it. Tolstoy
wrote a book called “The Idiot.” I never read it, but believe the “idiot” was a
Christ figure. I’ll try to be that idiot here!
Of course,
you know that any dating methods we use are influenced by our initail belief
system. That is what Dr. George Elis, the Quaker, was getting at when he said,
“You cannot do physics or cosmology without an assumed philosophical basis. You can choose not to think about that basis, but it will still be there as an unexamined foundation of what you do. The fact that you are unwilling to examine the philosophical foundation of what you do, does not mean those foundations are not there: it just means they are unexamined. My colleagues (Elis worked with Stephen Hawkings on the Big Bang Cosmology) are producing theories of what they call creation of the universe out of nothing. But when you probe them, you find they’re not producing theories of creation of the universe out of nothing. They are assuming a huge machinery of quantum field theory and fields and particles and interactions, which generate universe, but not creation of the universe out of nothing.”
What I’m
trying to get at is that scientists will assume that millions of years took
place and then look for a process that will confirm their belief. In
researching those who developed the “millions of years” theory, such men as
James Hutton and Charles Lyell were in an active war to remove Moses from
science. Lyell fudged his measurements to present “evidence” against the young
earth theory. He suggested to the pre-Darwinists to not openly attack the Biblical story so as not to
alert the Church that they were under attack! Lyell and his friends would try
to be subtle and undetected by the Church in their attack against Christianity
so the Church wouldn’t know what was happening until it was too late. Even the
great British Evangelist Charles Spurgeon was spouting millions of years before
Charles Darwin’s theory reached the printing press.
But how do
we know the age of the earth? We cannot go back in time and see what happened
and measure the years. We can only look at the evidence in the present and speculate
about how it came about, much as like a murder detective would speculate about
how a murder has occurred. Hutton and Lyell needed to get the “Genesis Flood”
out of the way so that they could reinterpret the geological record as a slow process
over millions of years, rather than as a rapid deposition over a short period
of time, just thousands of years as the Bible indicates.
The
naturalistic dating methods that have been developed assume that millions of
years have occurred and assume that the same processes we see at work today and
their rates of action have remained the same since the dawn of creation. If we
call all the flood deposits that do exist “local floods,” we can remove the
“Genesis Flood” and the Bible from our thinking.
The trouble
is that we haven’t been around for millions of years to see if those rates of
processes have remained the same or slowed down or have sped up or variated
over time. But assuming that the processes have not changed or varied over time
and using that type of thinking we can find many processes that are happening
in nature at the present that, if we extrapolate backwards in time, give us a
much younger earth than the 4.5 billion years proposed by modern science.
The first one that comes to mind is the fact that the moon is moving away from the earth by so many inches each year. I think it’s about 1.5 inches a year. Now if we accept that the rate has been constant over time, then in just 1.5 billion years the earth and moon would have been touching each other. However, over a 6,000 year period, the moon would have moved a distance of less than 300 meters. The Biblical assumption would seem more in-line here with reality than the evolutionary millions of years would.
Another
example is the salt in the ocean. About 450 million tons of salt enters the
ocean each year, with some 27% of that coming out due to various reasons. If we
assume that the ocean was without salt in the beginning of time. If we assume
that the same rate of salt that enters the ocean today has been the same rate
consistantly in the past over time, and we do our math, we come out with the
fact that the oldest age of the earth by measuring the present known rates is
62 million years. That doesn’t prove that 62 million years have passed. If the
rates increased because of some cataclysmic event, like the Genesis Flood, much
of that salt could have entered rapidly into the ocean waters and therefore it
would give a much shorter age for the earth. The Genesis Flood could easily
push the age of the earth down to 6,000 years.
Astronomer
Dr. Jason Lisle has written several articles on distant starlight and the age
of the earth that present some of the difficulties of proving either billions
of years or thousands of years. Of course, as a creationist scientist, he tries
to show that a 6,000 year young earth cosmology is not evidencially inaccurate.
The cosmological evidence itself does not disprove a young earth. It depends on
how the evidence is interpreted. You can find one of his articles at the
following link: https://answersingenesis.org/astronomy/starlight/does-distant-starlight-prove-the-universe-is-old/
Being open-minded
really means that we are willing to debate the truth. We are willing to look at
our initial assumptions and try to evaluate which assumptions are arbitrary and
less likely to be true, against which assumptions are reasonable and therefore
more likely to be true. When we are open-minded, we are willing to ask the
question: “Why do I believe the way I do?” In other words, our views ought to
stand up to criticism and be an accurate reflection of reality and be the most
reasonable conclusion from the evidence available. Otherwise, we are just being
arbitrary and irrational.
I am not
going to throw away the Bible because it has been used by religionists to
control men. I am not going to throw away my Bible because it has been used and
is being used by false teaches making money off of God’s good word. I have a
hard time accepting the religious system and its church attendance and “Do Nothing
for God” theology. But I also have a hard time understanding why it is
difficult for many intelligent Christians to accept the Genesis Record as it
reads. I suppose they don’t want to be accused of being friends of Ken Ham and
the religious right. I can understand that and I might not be very comfortable
around some religious people. [Nevertheless, Jesus admonished us to love all men, even
our enemies, or those who have a different view. We love them because they are
made in the mage of God. We debate ideas and earnestly contend for the faith, because that is the traditional standard in trying to find truth.]
But that
does not mean every thing the religious right believes is wrong. What we believe does affects
what we do. Our beliefs affect our actions. They are interrelated. I want to put on the mind of Christ. That’s
why I try to read His word daily and let it speak to me. That’s why I am
careful with the type of input I put into my brain because I know it eventually
affects my spirit. I know I am in a spiritual war against the lies of the
enemy. It’s in Jesus where all the treasure of wisdom and knowledge of
God is hid and I want to follow Him and not let any man beguile me with enticing
words.
I want to
lead others to Christ and help them get in relationship with Him becauuse only
in Him is there life eternal. He’s the true light that lightens every man that comes
into the world. But there is a false light that is actually darkness because it
doesn’t bear witness to the truth of God’s word. The truth is that Jesus is the
way, the truth, and the life. I am captive to the word of God. It is my source
of strength, my guiding light, my helping hand and gives me descernment in my search for what is
true.
God's word also exposes
my sin. Yes, my SIN: my selfishness, my ego, my laziness, my rebellion, my
disobedience, my ignorance, my pride. God’s word shines a light on my heart and
causes me to reflect on my sinfulness. It causes me to cry out to Him for His mercy, for help, for strength, for truth, for love because in me is no good
thing. I am desparately dependent on the love, mercy and help of God daily.
Without Him I can do nothing. But with Him, all things are possible and I can
do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
Somehow our
former fellowship failed in our training of you young people and you have
thrown off the yoke that we tried to place upon you. Maybe it was because, in a
way, we forced the yoke upon you and we didn’t give you enough free-will in
accepting it. Therefore, you rejected our belief system, because of our sample was lacking. But in rejecting our bad sample, you have thrown out much of what was
good in our belief system. “Throwing out the baby with the bath water,” as they say. Many
have thrown out obedience and submission to Christ and His word and have choosen
a compromised Gospel, if one at all. They eat, drink, and are merry and don’t
dedicate themselves to any worthwhile cause of helping the underpriviledged, or
poor, imprisoned, hospitalised, etc. They have eliminated God from their thoughts.
Many have
sat down and let themselves be brainwashed by the media and the wisdom of the
world and thrown off the truth of the Gospel. I am sure that God will raise up
others who will hear His call. Maybe it will be the young Chinese Christians
who will fulfill the mission to today’s modern generation. God is always in the
business of calling out a new group as the old becomes set in their ways and
loses the fire and spirit of God which comes through obedience.
My Christian
belief system, though some what evangelical, is very different to the
evangelical. By my interpretation, many evangelicals “hear,” but do not “do.”
They may “believe,” but they don’t follow through and “do” what they say they
believe. Some have their minds blinded by the God of this world. Some live for the
lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life and follow the Abundant Life Gospel.Very few are
really following God seriously. Many denominations have a comfortable system to make money and are not really interested in changing the world for Jesus. Some are only intersted in
gaining new members because they may bring more income into the offering bag.
God has had to raise up David Icke recently to expose the evil plans of the masters behind the scenes who are using the recent health pandemic to push their globalist agenda. I am no fan of David Icke. Facebook and YouTube have blocked his interview on London Real because Icke tried to explain where the present health crisis is leading to: a draconian futuristic state where the 1%, and the technocracy they want to implement, will control the world. He believes that the 5G, the fifth generation of cellular network technology, may have serious health implecations, but is necessary to their plans.
Israeli
scientist and writer Harari from the New York Times bestselling historical book
“Sapiens,” says we must give up our liberties and rights to embrace security
and health in the face of the new assassin viruses that will become ever more frequent
and dangerous. We must accept the technology that is avaible, the “tatoo” [Bill
Gates] and other forms of advanced technology [ID 2020, also Bill Gates] if we
want safety and health. Harari calls out for new generation of world leadership as the old American leadership is no longer worth following.
The anarchist from the Vigilant Dollar says the economic tsunami following the present health crisis will affect the world like no other economic crisis has since the Great Depression. He sees a draconian world system in the making with total control in the hands of Bill Gates and the Master puppeteers above him. He believes the 5G is necesarry to do all the transactions that will take place in a paperless-money world.
The book “Capital” by a French economist Thomas Piketty warns that the 1% get richer and control more each generation as their wealth grows faster than the economy of the world. He shows it statistically to be true and warns we are moving into the future where the 1% will own nearly everything and mankind will be forced to live in urban cities. In “The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System,” James Rickards predicts that a new international monetary system is in the making, that the dollar will collapse and a money-less system will be developed under a basket of currencies including the Russian and Chinese.
We could
very well be on the verge of the New World Order. Many are calling out that it will
soon be here. Some are protesting against it and their freedom of speech is
getting denied. But most are hypnotized by the media masters and will go along
with the moves toward a draconian state because they love their safety and
security over their freedom and their rights.
Who will
stand up against the New World Order and explain exactly what is happening? Who
will show the world that it is in a deep spiritual battle for the souls of men?
Who will explain to them that God’s word has spoken of these events in the
prophetic books of both the Old and New Testaments?
We, your
parents, had hoped you would join us in the battle for the souls and lives of
humanity. But we failed you and now you may fail God. But I am confident that
as time passes and these events manifest themselves more clearly, some of you
will awake out of darkness and re-embrace the true light. You’ll pick up your
cross, the cross of Christ, and arise to the battle against the evil forces of
Antichrist.
We, your
parents, are praying for you daily. We are praying you will re-embrace your
calling as disciples of Jesus, however He calls you to fulfill it. We are
praying you will be a force for God and good in the soon coming evil days which
are almost upon us.
