God Wants to Save You

God wants to save you, but you must make a choice: an eternity with Him or an eternity without Him.

The Lord doesn't force you to choose. He leaves it up to you.

He also doesn't hide anything from you; He openly tells you the result of each choice.

• An Eternity with the Lord - An abundance of life (Matthew 25:46; John 10:10; I John 2:25). No more death and no more tears (Isaiah 25:8).  There is a specific place prepared for you akin to a mansion (John 14:2).  You will be clothed in righteousness and covered by the presence of the Lord, to worship Him night and day (Revelation 7:13-15).  You will never be hungry or thirsty again and Jesus will comfort your every concern (Revelation 7:16-17).  There will be no mourning, crying, or pain anymore and you will receive all that is in the Kingdom of God as your inheritance (Matthew 25:34; I Peter 1:4; Revelation 21:4-7).  Priceless riches permeate the city, made of pure gold and precious stones (Revelation 21:18-21).  There is no concept of aging and you will enjoy the fruits of your own labor, for every work you perform will be productive (Isaiah 65:19-23).  There will be no more curses, no more night time at all, and no need for any light outside of the light that comes from Jesus; you will reign with God in the Kingdom (Isaiah 60:19-20; Revelation 3:21; Revelation 21:22-25; Revelation 22:3-6). You will have fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11).
• An Eternity without the Lord - Everlasting fire, everlasting contempt, everlasting punishment, and everlasting destruction (Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:41-46; I Thessalonians 1:9). Eternal fire where the worm never dies (Mark 9:44-49; Jude 1:7).  A resurrection unto damnation (John 5:29). Eternal torment in a lake of fire and brimstone causing weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:42-50; Luke 16:22-24; Revelation 14:10-11; Revelation 21:8).

Just consider these options at face value.  No one in their right mind would choose an eternity of torment in Hell fire over an eternity of joy, peace, and love. Yet people do every single hour of every day. Why? Because they have fallen for the okey-doke.

Satan knows that he is destined for eternal damnation and there is nothing he can do to change that. All he can do is try to delay this reality (which would never happen because God goes by His own timing) and take as many down with him as he can.

Have you ever seen a bunch of crabs in a pot? The ones at the bottom will claw at the ones on top to drag them down just to be sure that they do not escape the demise they face. That is the mentality of the devil.

Yet here is the kicker; Hell wasn't even made for you! God's plan for mankind was to enjoy the blessings of eternal life.  Hell was designed for Satan and his angels.

"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." Matthew 25:41

So how does he do it?  How does Satan get multitudes of people to choose an eternity in Hell over an eternity with the Lord?  Here is the trick Satan has played.  He gets people to focus on the here and now so that they will never perceive nor enter into the reality of life after this world.

Satan knows that people aren't going to openly choose the destiny he faces, so He leads people into making this decision by default. They don't have to directly choose this fate; all they have to do is neglect the things of eternity.

"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation..." Hebrews 2:3a

God openly manifests the truth and gives you a choice.  Satan has to blind you to the truth and use slight of hand to get you to choose this world...not only because that is his character, but because no one would make such a choice otherwise.

Satan works overtime to make 50, 60, 100 years in this life feel more real than eternity by erecting a type of Fantasy Island. He beckons you with smoke and mirrors, making things appear to be what they are not.

Remember, Satan is the god of this world (II Corinthians 4:4).  The systems he puts in place (judicial, economic, educational, media, political, etc.) all work to keep you captivated with, and enslaved to, life in this world.

captivate: to capture and hold prisoner the attention of another by being interesting, pretty, etc.; to dominate by some special charm, art, or trait and with an irresistible appeal; owned or controlled by another concern and operated for its needs,
while giving the appearance of independence.

"And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." II Timothy 2:26

Take for example the recent "Celebrate Pride" image released by Facebook, where members could place a rainbow overlay on their profile pictures in order to show support for sexual perversion. It has been rumored that this was simply another Facebook social experiment as they test whether they can influence and incite human behavior.

Whether or not such is true, it worked. Many people changed their profile with this image. Yet consider this, in response, many professing Christians also changed their profile pic to show a cross overlay supporting Christianity. In either case, Satan succeeded.

Look, Satan doesn't care how you react to him, he just wants you to respond. It is like a child, give me positive or negative reinforcement, but just give me a reaction.  Some might say, "But I did this for the Lord!"  Regardless of your motives, it was done in response to the devil.

We should never react to the devil, rather we should always be on the offensive against him as directed by the Lord. Satan doesn't care what religious activity you pursue, he just wants to be the one to inspire you instead of the Lord. Don't you know that Satan will inspire you to perform even seemingly good deeds?

inspire: to make someone want to do something supernaturally; to give them an idea about what to do or create; to affect, motivate, or spur on; to spread by indirect means or through the agency of another

What the devil accomplished in this instance was simply the equivalent of getting two people in a room shouting at each other. Nothing about it destroyed or damaged his kingdom, but it makes you feel like you are doing something.  The devil is getting you to fight a war with blanks; no ammo, no power. Such is the danger of religious works.

Satan's deception is a brilliant plan really, because it even works on those persons who would deem to try and seek Christ! Go to church. sing in the choir, give food to the hungry, read your Bible, just focus your attention on earthly things. As a result, you get "churches" whose focus is bringing about civil rights and equality for the disenfranchised.  You get churches preaching how you can be rich and have your best life now.  You get Christians who have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof (II Timothy 3:5).  All under the guise of serving the Lord. If you are listening to a preacher who focuses on events in this world or your life in it, then know for sure that you are listening to a minister of Babylon.

So then, you see that the answer to escaping Satan's plan is to drop out of this world.  Don't focus on this present, evil world and don't even respond to it.  Set your mind on eternity.

"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." Colossians 3:2

It is only as we bring the power of eternity to bear upon this temporal world that we are destroying the works of Satan. How do we do that? Like Jesus did.

"But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you." Matthew 12:28

The Kingdom of God is not of this world, but it is eternal (John 18:36; II Peter 1:11).  When we walk in the powers of the world to come, we are bringing the eternal power of the living God into manifestation to those in the world (Hebrews 6:4-5). This is the one thing which frightens Satan, and this is the only thing which destroys his works: you filling up with the power of the Holy Spirit to be a living witness for Christ.

The Scriptures do not say in vain that signs will follow those who believe such as casting out devils, speaking in tongues, healing the sick, etc. (Mark 16:17-18).  So I ask you, where are your signs? Don't neglect eternity trying to focus on some temporal war in the earth, for no man who wars gets caught up in the things of this life, if you have any hope of pleasing the Lord who has called you to be a soldier in His Army (II Timothy 2:4).

"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." Mark 16:20

The Organic Gospel

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

I had mentioned previously that my pastor and I were writing a book entitled, "The Organic Gospel".   Praise be to God, the book has been printed and is now available.

It is our hope that this book will be a resource for those looking beyond mere religion to find once again the simplicity that is in Christ.  Too many people - including professing Christians - claim to be saved, but have no knowledge of what salvation really is.

• Why must man be saved?
• What are we being saved from?
• How is salvation wrought in the life of man?
• What does it mean to be "saved"?

The story of man's salvation is manifested in the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, to be a supernatural, organic work of God as He transforms man into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.

There is no need to wonder if you are saved or to be destroyed due to a lack of knowledge.  Search the Scriptures and finally understand what God wants from man...what He wants from you.  Finally be at peace to seek and serve the Lord with your whole hearts as you learn about the organic Gospel.

God bless you!

The Army of God

"The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 

Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army." Ezekiel 37:1-10

The Lord is bringing together again His Body for a time of refreshing and fellowship at The Army of God conference.  Look forward to seeing you there!

Wicked Counselors

"Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me." Job 21:16

"Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity." Psalm 64:2

"The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit." Proverbs 12:5

"Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city." Ezekiel 11:2

"There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor." Nahum 1:11

The following message from Omega Ministries is entitled, "I Am Possessed".

When you think of demon possession, you will often think the most far out, bizarre, and fringe types of personalities.  However, some of the most demon-possessed persons look extremely normal to the naked eye.  They may even appear to be humble, charitable, pious, and holy as they move in religious circles. 

Satan sets up his ministers in the so-called churches for the express purpose of ensnaring the people and filling them with unclean spirits as a way to keep them from Christ.  Such persons actually become anti-christ in their thinking, all while falsely believing that they are serving the Lord.

• Our minds need to be anchored to the Lord.  In a storm, this is the only anchor who can keep us.
• People will be terrified as they realize that they have imagined being saved, but never really knew the Lord Jesus.
• Fearfulness will overtake the hypocrites (Isaiah 33:14).
• We are in the middle of a supernatural, metaphysical war.
• Demons are insatiable.
• Deliverance is good news and the children's bread (Matthew 15:26; Mark 7:27).
• Satan sends the spirit of anti-Christ into man's souls as a preparation for receiving the the Anti-Christ to come.  He sends you a wicked counselor to yoke you to itself, advise you, and lead you astray (Nahum 1:11).  The anointing from Jesus Christ can break this yoke, but you still must separate from the lies and the liars which had you bound.
• Everything concerning the Christian experience is all about the conquest of inner space.
• People have been conditioned by religion to think that fantasy, feelings, and emotions are Godly.
• The Holy Ghost does not confirm false doctrine.   The truth is a freedom maker!
• Success in Christ is to have a pure heart, clean lips, live righteously before God and have every demonic entity purged from your personality.  To accomplish this, we must be filled with, and led by, the Holy Spirit as an obedient child of God.
• Satan's forte is as a magician and sorcerer who can mesmerize and deceive...and so are his ministers (II Corinthians 11:15).  He has to always stimulate your temporal life as a replacement for eternal life.
• The churches serve as the foundation of the Devil's kingdom by soulishly sodomizing people and filling them with unclean spirits.
• We must patiently do what is necessary to possess our own souls (Luke 21:19).  This lets us know that the part of a person which can be influenced by demons is the soul.
• The soul is supposed to be the vehicle of expression for your spirit.
• Demons desire access to the soul to express themselves because they need a body in order to feel.  They are disembodied spirits seeking incarnation.
• Souls house the area of the will, emotions, intellect, reasoning...The mind is the control center for the soul.  This is why the human mind must be transformed and metamorphisized to reflect the mind of Christ.
• Your emotions should not just be experienced helter skleter.  Your spirit should be governing your emotions.   
• Jesus never appended feelings to love, but to obedience.  Feelings can change, but love is a constant so love can never be defined by a feeling.
• Love is selflessness, not a feeling.
• The parameters of demonic possession are souish entry points (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, etc.) and improper attitudes of the heart such as pride.
• Demons attempt to build a habitation for themselves - and other demonic reinforcements - within you.  According to the demon, your soul is the their house (Matthew 12:44).  Demons have a will and they pit their will against your will.
• Demons are armed to fight against anything which will try to remove them from their home, your soul (Luke 11:21-26).  
• The demonic root and strongman for most people is the spirit of rejection.  As a result, such persons do everything necessary to be rejected by others because that is what that unclean spirit enjoys.
• There is a final separation coming between those who deal with demons and those who do not.
• In the last days, those who have been seduced by doctrines of devils and filled with selfishness & all unrighteousness (I Timothy 4:1-3, II Timothy 3:1-2; Romans 1:28-32) will be pitted against those who have been transformed in their minds through deliverance & renewal (Romans 12:1-2). 
• You will be possessed, but will it be by God or the Devil?

Broken Ribs

In Don't Forget Deborah - Part 3 (The Beauty of Submission), I wrote the following:

When God was creating woman, He took one of Adam's ribs in order to form her. This small point is not insignificant. Again, God does everything for a reason.

The ribs provide one main function: protection for the heart and the lungs. Both the heart and lungs are critical to the life of the body, yet the nature of their work requires that these organs be soft, delicate, and pliable (and thereby in need of protection).

The heart keeps blood flowing, ensuring that life reaches other parts of the body. It also provides a place of refreshing where the blood can get re-oxygenated or revived in order to continue its work. As such, the heart needs to be sensitive and flexible enough to the respond to the body's electrical impulses regarding contraction in order to keep the blood pumping. It is strong and is one of the largest muscles in the human body. It is an involuntary muscle meaning we do not have to consciously tell the heart to beat. It is created to anticipate the needs of the body and does so automatically.

The lungs are the place where gas exchange occurs within the human body; it collects the oxygen needed to give energy to the blood and expels toxins such as carbon dioxide. Similar to the heart, the lungs must be elastic enough to inflate/deflate as needed to support the inhaling and exhaling of air. Again, the lungs are involuntary muscles and expand/contract without willful thought by nature of their design.

The heart and lungs work around the clock, processing on average 8,000 - 9,000 liters of blood and air respectively a day. When they don't work properly, it impacts the whole body's ability to function as it should.

Understanding the functional purpose that these delicate organs serve and how vital their work is to the health of the body, it is clear to see why God - in His infinite wisdom - encased the heart and lungs under the protection of the ribs.

However, what happens when the ribs are broken?  I mentioned in a recent comment that God has been emphasizing obedience lately.  A number of women have even written this month to ask what it means to obey their husbands. Further, I have seen other women claiming to be obedient to God, but rejecting patriarchal authority and going off in rebellion against Him.  They are in fact in "obedient" to a perverse demon spirit, even while claiming to be serving the Lord.

Take time to listen to this message.  The calling of women is so evident in Scripture that you would have to want to be blind not to see it.  Only those who enjoy rebellion and do not want to be cleansed from sin will turn a deaf ear.  If there is any resistance in your soul to this, then that is the very thing which God is trying to deal with in you.

It is past time to get this right.  We need to examine ourselves to see who - and whose - we truly are.  We must lay bare our hearts before God and be desperate enough for deliverance that we are willing to deal with those things that God despises.  It is time for women to once again become life in the church by joyfully understanding and embracing who we are designed by God to be.

The following message from Pastor Gary C. Price at Omega Ministries considers just that and is entitled, "Broken Ribs".   I have seen first-hand how insidious this is and how it perverts a woman from being a handmaiden of the Lord into being a religious witch & whore.  It pretends to be submissive, but uses subtlety, manipulation, and false authority to do what it pleases and get its way.

What is a common theme for those who fall prey to this deception?  Self-idolatry.  Whether you exalt yourself (think more highly of yourself than you should) or debase yourself (operate in a spirit of rejection), both are forms of self-idolatry.  One's entire existence is focused on what you think, how you feel, what you want, and how people treat you.  It is time to get out of self if we truly want to be saved and to be used by God to reach the lost.

My Brothers & Sisters, this is no small thing.  It is not about some pastor having a problem with women or some blogger always posting about the spirit of Jezebel.  It is a biblical, methodical review of Satan's attempt in these last days to raise up a rebellious spirit in women using a religious cloak of "spiritual inspiration" to willfully lead God's people into sin (Revelation 2:20).  God doesn't give us warnings for no reason.  Only one who wants to wants to remain blind and spend an eternity in Hell will turn a deaf ear to His call for us to "come out of her".

An illustration of Baphomet.

• Each of the following statements are true:
• Women can be effective ministers and preachers of the Gospel.
• There are gender-specific roles in the Body of Christ according to the Scriptures.
• The world - and its god - is working feverishly to remove gender distinctions in the earth.  This is reflected in the image of Baphomet.
• There is a spirit that will almost cause a woman to be enraged about being a woman.
• The Devil's scheme is to put you to sleep spiritually, infiltrate your mind, and lead you through thought transference.
• People make the mistake of letting their life and experiences define their existence.  This is idolatry. It is not about what someone has done to you, but what you have done to God.  If you have anything against your mother or father, then you are already off course.
• People spend a lifetime trying to understand what the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil are.
  
  The Tree of Life represents the patriarchal governmental authority of God as indicated by it displaying 12 fruit (Revelation 21:12-14, Revelation 22:2).  
  
  The Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil depicts dualism; two competing natures indwelling one being.  This dualism is also seen in the Baphomet as well as the yin yang symbol.  There is no right and wrong, but each person chooses for themselves what is good or evil, independent of God.  Man is governed by his own mind and not the authority of God.
• God made woman as a helpmeet - a helpful friend, companion, or reflector - for the man.
• Woman was taken out of man (Genesis 2:23).  It is impossible to take something out of something else, and the thing you took out be greater than what you took it from.  For example, the answer for 5-3 will never be greater than 5.  No baby being born is ever greater than its parents.  These are just principles of basic logic.
•  A woman is always to be under authority (I Corinthians 11:10; I Timothy 2:12).  A girl is to be under the authority of her father until she is given to her husband, at which point she comes under the authority of her husband.  This is symbolized by her leaving the last name of her father and taking the last name of her husband.  If there is no father or husband, than another male member of the family is to take that place (Deuteronomy 25:5; Ruth 3:12-13; Luke 20:28-33; I Timothy 5:3-5). 
  
  If there are no male family members to take this responsibility, then it becomes the responsibility of the church (Acts 6:1-6, I Timothy 5:16).  This is further evidence that there is organized structure in the church.  Pure religion is to take care of the fatherless and widows because there is one thing that both lack: the covering of a patriarch (James 1:27).
• The heart and mind of God right now is to return the church to patriarchal order because that is where His power flows.  You cannot conquer the powers of darkness outside of that authority.

• The serpent deceived Eve, convincing her that she could be a god herself by knowing good and evil.  He pulled Eve out from under the governmental authority she had been given: Adam.  What was the immediate result? She turned on Adam, seeking to make him into what she had become; a rebel against God. 
• You can be brainwashed by any demon if you are in the flesh.  This is why Satan continuously tries to tempt you to get into the flesh.
• Adam wasn't far away when Eve was tempted; he was "with her".  Even though it was the woman who was deceived, God still demanded accountability from Adam because he was the authority God had put in place.  What was is response?  To throw her under the bus rather than be responsible.  This is all fallen man can do, sacrifice the woman at the first sign of danger or trouble to protect himself.
• The Scripture never says that the forbidden fruit was an apple or any other physical fruit.  Neither does eating a physical piece of fruit allow your "eyes to be opened" to know good and evil (Genesis 3:7).  Fruit is representative of the character traits of spirit beings.
• Eve means life, and every woman should bring life to an environment.
• Women must really examine themselves to see what it is in them that makes them contend with their husbands instead of submitting to him.
• A man must sacrifice himself for his wife, protecting and edifying her.
• The problem in many marriages is that the husband and/or wife has soul ties from old relationships.
• Women must reverence their husbands, which means to be in awe of.
• Women who step from under Godly authority become the opposite of what women were designed to be, becoming vessels of death.
• God does not hear your prayers when you are out of order (I Peter 3:7).

• The text in I Corinthians 11 is not about a woman wearing a head covering.  It is about women being "covered" by proper authority (I Corinthians 11:3).
• The Holy Spirit has been shut off from full manifestation in the church because Jezebel and Ahab are ruling the church.
• The legacy of a Jezebel and Ahab spirit is matriarchy; its offspring are harlots and abominations.
• In Jezebel and Ahab's day, the Lord sent the prophet Elijah to confront the matriarchal system of perversion and restore the order of patriarchy by reestablishing Godly government as represented by the 12 altar stones for the sons of Jacob (I Kings 18:21).  Only then did the fire from Heaven fall and the curse of the drought end.
• The last word for the Old Testament in Malachi is that - before Jesus' return - God would send Elijah the prophet to turn the hearts of the father to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers.  Again, God is demanding a restoration of patriarchal authority amongst His people or else He will smite the earth with a curse (Malachi 4:5-6).
• Before the first coming of Jesus Christ, John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah and preached repentance to the people to prepare them for His coming (Luke 1:17; Mark 6:14).  Repentance is literally the turning of the hearts back to the Father, as seen by a restoration of patriarchy in the hearts.
• Before Jesus comes again, God is sending those with the spirit of Elijah to preach repentance, a returning of the hearts back to patriarchal authority (Acts 17:30).
• The false doctrine of matriarchal authority in the church introduces you to the "depths of Satan" (Revelation 2:24).

The Queen of Heaven and the Dragon

As a former Catholic, the phrase "Queen of Heaven" had a completely different meaning to me growing up than what the Bible says.  Of course, as a Catholic, our understanding of God did not come from the Bible anyway.  Thank God for His strong hand of deliverance!

However, many are offering cakes unto the Queen of Heaven and don't even know it.  In spite of what God says, they boldly declare that they will continue in this worship while demanding that God accept it.  Let me tell you that God did not receive this worship in the past and He will not accept it now!

The following message from Omega Ministries is "The Queen of Heaven and the Dragon". 

• Most people have little to no understanding of the Bible.
• The war is an inner war in the human heart, it is not on the external.  You have to war against your own mind and thinking patterns to get free.
• God told Jeremiah that He was judging Israel because they were worshiping and serving other gods, even committing the abomination that He hates (Jeremiah 44:4).
• The inclining the ear is the intent, purposeful listening to what God is saying.  Very few people do this because they think they already know.  On of the biggest obstacles for people is that they don't like the one telling them the truth.  "I just don't want you telling me what is right."
• The great evil the people were committing were against their own souls.
• God always has a remnant who truly serves Him out of all those who profess to serve Him.
• Idolatry provokes God to wrath.
• Hell is the most rude awakening you can get.
• The women in Jerusalem refused to listen to Jeremiah's warning and declared that they would continue offer sacrifices to the Queen of Heaven.  They even offered a defense to God for these abominations stating that these things were done in full knowledge and approval of their husbands.

• As a result, God spoke to the men and stated that He would bring evil against the men who went down to Egypt because they would not be patriarchs and leaders of their own home.  If a man fails to take rightful headship and authority for the home, God will judge him for it.
• The world has been so perverted by matriarchy that most people do not understand the discipline and order of walking with God. 
• Even though it was Jeremiah who spoke, He took the people's rejection of those words personally because they were His words.  Don't be so quick to dismiss what what people say to you just because the words are coming through a person.  You must be able to discern whether it is the words of God being spoken or not and not get caught up in the vessel.
• You cannot "go to Church", you must become the organically grown body of Christ to be counted as the Church.  Every spiritual reality in your life is the product of organic growth.  As long as you still have hope in this world, you will run to religion instead of being transformed into the image of Jesus.
• This worship of the Queen of Heaven brings confusion (Jeremiah 7:19).
• The Spirit of God will only rest on you if you obey God; He will not join Himself to rebellion.
• If you refuse correction, God will cut off the truth from you (Jeremiah 7:28).
• The abominations are in the Church and the pupits.
• If you hate God's commands and who He made you to be then there are elements of the beast system deep in your soul.  You appear outwardly as if you love the Lord, but inside you really hate God because the Queen of Heaven is enthroned in you.  You won't be able to be received by God until you repent.



The "Queen of Heaven" is often pictured
with a supposed "Baby Jesus", illustrating
how the Word of God is always minimized
and diminished to magnify this
false matriarchal authority.

• God has to restore the order and authority He set up - the authority of a Father -- to get the city to be righteous again (Isaiah 1:26). 
• It takes a revealing from God for a person to understand the depths of the hatred they have deep in their souls towards fathers and the authority of God.  You must take account of what is in your inner court to ensure that you are in the faith.
• This worship of the Queen of Heaven can be seen in Jezebel's rulership outlined in II Kings.
• Soul ties can be dangerous because you can be destroyed being knit to the wrong person.
• God is wearing out people so that they will finally turn away from their own way and submit to Him.  He will have a Church without spot or blemish.
• The sin of Jeroboam is the sin permeating the present-day church (I King 11:26-12:33).  Jeroboam set up an idolatrous religious system to stop the people from worshiping the True & Living God and chose those amongst the lowest of the people to serve as priests (I Kings 12:31).  The false Church is set up to keep you away from God, not get you to God.
• Sodomites are a sign that false worship is in your presence (I Kings 15:12).  Spiritual perversion is always reflected in the natural by sexual perversion.  Even homosexual men will call themselves "Queens".  It is the continuation of matriarchal authority as a curse and promoter of perversion; or as the Bible says, the "Mother of harlots and abominations".  The key to the rulership of the Queen of Heaven is the siring of sexual perverse spirits.
• Your own resistance to the authority of God will let you know that elements of this Queen of Heaven is in you.  The main way people fight God's authority is not through open confrontation, but to make fun of and mock it.

SERMON:  The Queen of Heaven and the Dragon

Spiritually Dwarfed Women

There is a particular trap Satan has for women in the last days, and a woman's susceptibility to it is dependent upon not being made whole in Christ.  Make sure you take time while we have it to let the Lord purge you from every ounce of rebellion to His will and His way. 

The following message from Omega Ministries is entitled "Women and the Last of the Last Days".

• Selfishness and self-love is the catalyst for the perilous times which Scriptures tells us will come in the last days (II Timothy 3:1-2).
• For recent years, we have been seeing the visitation of the nephilim, the fallen angels.
• The Devil is a parasitical spirit which must live off of someone else, sucking the life from them.  It is a predatory spirit and uses others to fulfill its own appetites.
• The Holy Ghost is a dynamo who is self-generating and life-giving.
• Yielding to the temptation of the Devil is what gives unclean spirits access to you.
• There are positive and negative promises in the Bible according to where you are in Christ.
• The separator between those who really know Christ and those who just talk about Him is manifestation of the life of Christ from within in power.
• Spiritually undeveloped women (referred to in Scripture as "silly women" or spiritual dwarfs) are particularly susceptible to these type of false teachers who have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof (II Timothy 3:6).  They are "ever learning" but not able to come to the knowledge of the truth because they are full of diverse lusts.

• Satan's forte is to use the woman as a conduit to pervert the environment just as he used Eve against Adam.  Eve means life, but after corruption by Satan, she became death to Adam.  Everything in Satan's kingdom operates in opposites of that which is in the Kingdom of God. 
• This is how religious people can jump, shout, and be happy listening to a dead sermon while a born again person gets nothing from it.  Those who possess the life of Christ cannot sit around that which is dead, outside of the Holy Spirit, and full of decay. 
• There is a difference between ministry & interacting with the lost for the purpose of leading them to Christ vs. walking in covenant with the lost.  If you can fellowship with the lost with no disparity, then you need to be born again.
• We must stop seeing people according to the flesh.  You must know what spirit a person is of.  No where in the Bible does God say you "try the spirit by the spirit".  You discern a spirit by the obedience of that spirit to the word of God.
• By the Devil's nature, we can know how he approached Eve.  The doorway which allowed Eve to give ear to Satan was in questioning her submission to Adam.  Why does she have to be the help meet?  Why does Adam get to be the head? Why are you being subjected to this bondage?
• How do we know this was Satan's approach?  Because it was the exact attitude Lucifer had in Heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15).   In his rebellion, Satan set up his own parallel kingdom to God's Kingdom; just like a mirror image, it is a perverted, backwards representation of God's Kingdom.  Satan sets up an upside down kingdom.
• The first thing Satan will do to use a woman is to break her down and remove her discretion (Proverbs 11:22).  He uses a spirit of rejection to chain her to himself.
• The old man doesn't want to be crucified and will fight for life.
• If you preach against a perverse spirit, then that spirit is going to come see you; to either tempt or torment you.
• You cannot downgrade your life trying to accommodate someone who wants the Devil.
• Women are designed by God to be reflectors (I Corinthians 11:7).  You can look at the women in a certain environment and learn all about that particular environment. 
• Women in the Body of Christ are being systematically transformed to reflect the nature of the Church.  God is a family and the members of the family on Earth are designed to reflect the members of the Godhead (Ephesians 5:32).  The woman, therefore, reflects the role of the Holy Spirit as life giver.
• A woman is to be sanctified unto her husband.  Likewise, the Church is faithful and sanctified to Jesus Christ.  Just as a woman bares children for her husband in the natural, spiritually the Church will produce children for Christ.
• In society, a woman will either reflect the harlot church or the Bride of Christ.
• To hate and seek to destroy Godly authority (patriarchy) is to hate and seek to destroy Christ.
• The problem with the world is that women are largely dead.  A woman is to be a tabernacle of life, but in rebellion becomes a chamber of death.

SERMON: Women and the Last of the Last Days

Preparation for the Promised Land

"Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 

From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them." Joshua 1:1-6

The Omega Church & Ministries Center is having its next fellowship January 3rd - 5th, 2014.  It is entitled, "Preparation for the Promised Land".

This past week, a brother sent me the video below which he made from the last conference.  This brought such joy as I reminisced about the fun & fellowship we experienced this past August.  I look forward to this time in January and would like to invite you all to join.  As you will notice in the video, we get lots of participants from across the nation.  There are even international brothers and sisters who attend.

For more information, please see the events page on the Omega site. I am sure it will be a blessing for you.

A Precious Word of Encouragement

The following was sent to me by a Sister in the Lord and I wanted to share it with you all.
____________

Be encouraged.

I am reminded of the end of a poem entitled Footprints In The Sand which says:

"You promised me Lord,
    that if I followed you,
      you would walk with me always.
         But I have noticed that during
           the most trying periods of my life
              there have only been one
                 set of footprints in the sand.
                   Why, when I needed you most,
                      you have not been there for me?"

                                 The Lord replied,
                          "The times when you have
                  seen only one set of footprints,
          is when I carried you".

When Jesus was hanging on the cross still clinging to life, His ultimate reason for coming to earth had not been fulfilled. But when he gave up the ghost, was buried and got up out of the grave three days later, our avenue of escape was created.  I call that a ULTIMATE BREAKTHROUGH (The veil was not just penetrated, but it was torn from top to bottom).

Lets rewind just a little.  When he realized that he was scheduled to be crucified, He pleaded with his Father three times for another way (perhaps a easier and less painful way), but as always not His will but the will of His Father.  The road to the ultimate breakthrough became harder and more unbearable.  His words became even fewer.  The only hope Jesus had was His Father meeting Him in a place that even He had not been before and resurrecting Him. 

We are going through trying times, not understanding why or how we are going to make it trough. The Lord's Word is true and His hand is unchanging - He will never leave us or forsake us.  So even when we can't hear Him, we must trust that He is still there.   Praise and worship has always been key because we know that He abides there.

Below is the last verse of a song that ministers to me often in tough times.

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear you answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering that your love put you through
And I will go through the valley if you want me to.

This week, immediately after posting the article on Giving Up, a spirit of depression came upon me that I have never experienced before.  It was a heaviness so profound that I couldn't even begin to describe it.  I went to bed in tears, spent the night in tears, and woke up in tears only to continue crying through each day.  In the midst of this, God gave me the previous message called Labor Day, but I did not post it.  Why?  I was angry with God.  I was frustrated due to certain circumstances I was facing.  I was discouraged because I felt like God was simply not hearing my prayers.  "God, why aren't you hearing me? Lord why are you not doing something? God, don't you even care?"  I was inconsolable. My attitude towards God was wrong, and it was sin.  However, even after repenting, I could not turn the tides from this depression.  Instead of fighting through, I was going ever more into a downward spiral each day.  It was a Hell I have never experienced before and it was supernatural.

I thank God for my husband who prayed with me continuously during this time.  Also for the Sisters & Brothers who sent words of encouragement and correction, not even aware of what I was going through.  One Sister shared how she was going through something similar and recommended that I listen to the message below, which I had missed.  Why did I miss it?  I was too busy feeling sorry for myself to have tuned in.  This whole experience taught me a few things.

• Satan is launching supernatural attacks against true believers to make them grow weary...because we are close to a breakthrough. 
  In my earlier article on Giving Up, I stated that a main reason why people are giving up was due to the fact that they did not understand - and perhaps had never entered into - salvation.  While this is true, Satan is also trying to crush those who do believe by creating circumstances so dire they seem unsolvable. This is being used by God for a specific purpose (as discussed in the video message below).
• God gives us the power to always stand and not crumble under pressure...but the choice to stand is our own.
  As I listened to the message below, I could tell this was a word from the Lord specifically for me.  Had I not given in to the the storm which was trying to crush me, I could have experienced my deliverance a lot sooner.  For 3 days I didn't study the Scriptures, refused to play praise & worship, didn't tune in to Bible Study, etc.  As God told me, I was having a temper tantrum, but wallowing in my misery was only serving to hasten my decline. 
  
  Don't be your own obstacle to your deliverance.  Press on no matter what it looks like or how it feels.  Refusing to use the God-given resources of prayer, fasting, praise, worship, study, and fellowship when you are weak (and even when you are not) only hurts yourself.  Don't turn into a baby when things get harder (note to self).
• God's work will not be stopped.  If you do not obey what He has given you to do then He will simply find another who will.
  Much of what God gave me in the previous Labor Day post is reflected and expounded upon in the message below.  It reminded me of my personal and favorite Scripture, which has also been the impetus behind this blog, "For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14)  Who is destroyed if we "hold our peace" when God tells us to speak or act?  We are. Our disobedience does not affect God; His plans are Sovereign and His will shall be done.  Yet, we will pay the price.
• Do not think you are alone in your struggle or that some strange thing has happened to you in your trial.
  Many brothers and sisters are facing struggles, even ones which seem as if they will overtake us.  It is times such as these where we need each other even more.  True fellowship with God and with the brethren will help us easily thwart the fiery darts of the enemy as he speaks lies to us and tries to undermine our faith.

Are you asking God why you are going through a particular struggle? Have you wondered what is necessary to break into the presence of God and see Him bring about supernatural deliverance in your life and the lives of others?  Please listen to the following message from the Omega Church & Ministries Center entitled, "The Magicians of the Matrix".

All Things Being Equal

Degeneration vs. Regeneration

I recently saw the graphic to the right, which has become a recurring theme in the world.  "Inside we're all the same", it claims.

Notice that on the image, you have the misappropriated rainbow symbol that the homosexual community uses to promote its cause.  I say misappropriated because the rainbow is a covenant sign that God made with Noah to never destroy all flesh again...with a flood (Genesis 9:9-17).

The flood in Noah's day was God's judgment against the pervading sin of man.  The sons of God (who were fallen angels) lusted after the daughters of men and mated with them (Genesis 6:4).  The children resulting from these unions are a hybrid creation referred to as the nephilim (meaning fallen ones), or what the Bible calls "giants".  Immediately after this perversion, we see its influence as the Scriptures say that, "the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (Genesis 6:5).

The reality of that time seems almost impossible to consider; EVERY imagination and thought of man's heart was ONLY evil CONTINUALLY?   There was not even one good intent of the heart...ever?  Yet, when we look around us today, we can see mankind coming to the same place now.  The debauchery, unrestrained lust, sociopathic tendencies, and hatred for all things good which we see on a daily basis are unfathomable. One needs to only look at the news, or just look around you, to see that something has gotten hold of man and made him less than human.

Therefore, when I see people using the rainbow as a sign of their solidarity with, and support for, sexual perversion, I always get the mental picture of them shaking their fists at God.  One on hand, it is like they are hiding behind the rainbow, reminding God that He promised to not destroy the earth by flood again - as if they can put off their own judgment.  On the other hand, it is as if they are mocking God; daring Him to do something about their rebellion.  You can be assured that God will do both; He will destroy the earth again (although not by water) and He will judge all unrighteousness (Romans 2:2).

So what is the common refrain now?  "We are all the same on the inside."  Our differences do not matter because they are just external things.  Don't judge those who are different than you.  If you look with the eyes of love, diversity, and tolerance (as defined by the world), you will see that we are all the same.  We are all sharing in the same human struggle.  We are all a part of the human experience.  Deep down inside, we are all equal.  This is the sort of perspective which goes hand-in-hand with the "God loves us all" proclamation.

Many will say, "It is what is on the inside which matters."  And I wholeheartedly agree!  Problem is, the assertion that we are all the same on the inside is not true.  The big question - the only thing that matters - is "What are we on the inside?"  It is there we will find our differences or commonalities, based on the source of life which is within us.   

"Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more." II Corinthians 5:16

The world likes to judge according to the flesh (John 8:15).  What is your race, your political affiliation, your income level, your education, etc.  None of these superficial things mean anything in the Kingdom of God.  Yet this is what most of the world (including the so-called Church) seeks after.  Man has many causes and many injustices he seeks to recitify, but most of them are not the cause of Christ; they are merely the championing of the flesh.  This is why the Lord commands us to judge according to that which is spiritual (John 7:24; I Corinthians 2:15).  It is the spirit of man - what is on the inside - which determines who he really is. In this regard, the Bible says that we are either spiritually degenerating or regenerating.  Those are the only two options.

degenerating: to fall below a normal or desirable level in physical, mental, or moral qualities; to deteriorate; to diminish in quality;  to bring about a decline or reversion in.

regenerating:  to effect a complete moral reform in; to re-create, reconstitute, or make over, especially in a better form or condition; to revive or produce anew; bring into existence again; to renew or restore.

We need to understand this.  In God's eyes, there are only two types of people: those who are degenerating and those who are regenerating.  There is no other [eternal] distinction in man.  We are either soulish or saved; dead to God or born again; carnal or spiritual; God's enemy or His child, for Christ or anti-Christ, damned or redeemed.

If we are truly in Christ, then we ought to also see as He sees.  We should not primarily identify ourselves or others by appearances.  Not Black, White, Hispanic, Asian...not rich or poor...not young or old...  We are either in Christ and bearing forth His righteousness from within or in Satan and bearing forth his degradation from within.  The only people who are the "same inside" are those who are united by the same seed of life within; either the seed of the serpent or the seed of God.

"The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one" Matthew 13:38

Unlike the world will tell you, we are not all children of God (Galatians 3:26; Romans 8:15).  God only recognizes those who have been born again and are led by His Spirit.  Many are the children of the devil by means of the spirit working within them (Genesis 3:15; John 8:44; I John 3:8-10).

So what does degeneration look like?  The process is outlined in Romans Chapter 1.  It starts with ingratitude towards God producing a darkened heart that lacks wisdom.  The empty vanity of man's mind then leads him into idolatry and the worship of himself, which is first seen through fornication.  If unabated, God gives the fornicator up to the  "vile affections" of homosexuality.  Finally, God gives man over to reprobation, where he is filled with unrighetousness and completely unable to be saved. 

What is the answer for those on the path of degeneration?  Repent!  Turn from your ways (which is what repent means) and humbly present yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ to be cleansed. Through all of these stages of degeneration, God is longsuffering, letting man experience more of the "depths" of Satan so that man might turn to Him.  No one gets to reprobation by chance; it is the determined, continued rebellion of a mind which is set against God.

In regeneration, everything that man experienced in the fall is reversed back to the normal state of man when he was originally created.  Man is reconciled with the Father as he is translated from the power of darkness to the Kingdom of His Son.  He is made a partaker of the divine nature and given a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel 36:24-28).  He is cleaned from his filthiness and given the Spirit of the Lord within so that he may walk in obedience to God. 

As evidence of these two different types of life within, we will either display the works of the flesh or the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:19-25).  This is why Jesus said that we will know those who belong to Him by their fruit (Matthew 7:17-20; Luke 6:33-34).  It is the manifestation of the life within us which declares to whom we truly belong. 

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6

It is only what is on the inside which matters, and know for certain that we are not all the same.

Man Up

"And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him." Joshua 6:5

Omega Church & Ministries Center has issued a clarion call to all men: Man up!  What does that mean?  It is time for men to stand up and take their rightful places in the home, in the church, in the community, and in this world at large.  While the beliefs supporting this proclamation are listed below, you can read the entire "Man Up Manifesto" here.

Consider Joshua 6:5.  Once the trumpet sounded - once the call came forth - the walls of the enemy came down flat and the men walked up straight.  This is my prayer for the men of the Church, that every weight, hindrance, and bondage would be removed in the name of Jesus so that they may walk upright and straight in the calling & power given them of the Lord. 

The call has been given.  Who will answer?  Who will rise up and have their crooked paths made straight before the Lord?  The choice is yours to make.  Don't be found MIA (missing in action).

In addition to the Man Up Manifesto, other messages have been listed below to edify and encourage.

For THERE the LORD Commanded the Blessing

Omega Spring Gathering 

"[A Song of degrees of David.] Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore." Psalm 133:1-2

It is something very special to have God's people dwelling together in unity.  As was shared in a previous post, a number of God's promises are only realized when the saints come together in one mind and purpose (unity).

To quote Min. David Pawson, "God doesn't want to just fill individuals with His Spirit, but His Body, His family."  This is the imagery we see in Psalm 133, where God's anointing covers the whole Body and all of Zion.  It is in such a setting of unity that our Lord commands His blessings to come forth.

In the comments section of another post, there has been discussion about the covenant believers have with one another.  While many know that we are in covenant with the Lord, it may not be understood that we are also in covenant with each other, our fellow believers.  This is simply a concept with which many are not familiar.  Therefore, I wanted to share a few teachings by Min. Derek Prince on this topic:

• Covenant Relationships are Horizontal, Too
• Laying Down Our Lives
• The New Lifestyle—Koinonia
• The Covenant Meal
• Conduct that Undermines Covenant

I pray you can take the time to read the teachings above as it might give new life and meaning to your understanding of what true fellowship is.

That said, I also wanted to extend an invitation for you to fellowship with us at the Omega Church & Ministries Center spring gathering. It will be in Atlanta, GA from April 26th - 28th.

Click here to register or obtain more information about this gathering.

It is my prayer that this fellowship be a time of refreshing, a time of unity, a time where the blessings of God will pour forth on and through every participant.  I am not speaking of simply earthly prosperity.  I am speaking of the life of Jesus Christ (in all its power, majesty, and grace) being made manifest in the lives of believers so that each person leaves with a deeper revelation of Christ within.  The days are dark, and getting darker, but that simply means the light of Christ must shine brighter within us all.  If you consider coming, please devote some time to fasting & prayer prior to the conference so that God will prepare our hearts for what He endeavors to accomplish at that time.  If you are unable to come, please pray nonetheless that God use this time to create a true & lasting unity by His Spirit which emboldens us all to be ministers of the Gospel (doers of His word).
