To Be Or Not To Be

Our Nation is the chosen nation spoken of in Daniel and Revelation and we must never forget that this nation shall rule forever until the day of Judgment.

Considering Numbers 35:33-34. the people of the Lord who from time to time, in our Nation's History fall victim to their own back sliding and sin into a state of war, ought to be considered different from the enemies of Our Lord and not condemned outright from our own stance and knowledge of our Lord's righteous judgment. We must look at these at once with compassion and abhorance. But never condemnation for they are never ours to judge. All Nation's and Kindreds and peoples belong to the LORD. And we must never forget that Jesus Christ died and rose in order to become the Lord of the living and of the dead. We have not the mind, nor wisdom of the Lord. He knows the hearts of all that fall away and stand with Him. He knows the reasons why they fall or stand and is able to make those who fall, stand again and those who imagine they stand He is able to cause to fall.



Now, considering Psalm 106, those who, having once belonged to the Lord, have fallen to whatever state they have are never to be considered among the Nations who follow after demons and sacrifice their children unto them, whose names were never and shall never be written in the book of Life. But each man, when he falls, goes to different depths and the existence at these depths causes one to err in judgment and sometimes so greivously, that they are no longer who they once were or whom God made them to be.

They become like the demon ridden soul whom our Lord healed in Mark 5:9 And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many.

What happened to this man? Was he condemned?

Mar 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

The amount of self hatred and loathing in such a state as this, I never wish to have knowledge of. But a person who is actually willing to sacrifice his own offspring is deplorable indeed.

To condemn someone who has been tricked into aborting a child is not ours. You have no right and shall be judged more harshly than the innocent child of God who chose to do so. And you had better believe your enemies will be mighty and numerous indeed when you do decide to condemn these innocent souls. For no man wishes to be condemned and no one would choose to sacrifice a child if they had knowledge of another way.

When in a state of separation from our Lord, there is much confusion and error in judgment and yet, we are never judged as we might judge others and our Lord knows us no matter how far we stray from Him.

There are offices of perdition that must be respected or acknowledged by the Saints if they are to protect their children from making the same mistakes many have allowed their children to make.

Why do many allow their children to make these mistakes in the name of "freedom of choice" and all kinds of "morally relevant" idiocy? Because they wish to escape their own state of existance and hide the truth about themselves from their children. They wish to transfer judgment, they wish to escape duty, they do not love their children as they ought and they number far more than God's Elect and Sealed, so be on your guard and be careful, and make righteous judgment.


Do not believe the hype.

Saints cannot be touched by any Spirit but that of God Almighty. If you follow after that which is good and reject evil, the evil one cannot touch you, it is that simple. No matter how badly anyone wishes to hurt you, they cannot when you stand in Him and do as He commands. They must first make you stumble or fall, then you are still under His protection through Jesus Christ, even in Hell. At the Last Day, we will ALL stand before the Judgment Throne of God Almighty and I do not wish to know what those who have gone ahead and followed the practices of demons who sacrifice their own will be. I only wish to avoid ever putting myself in a situation that might necessitate such an erring decision, and I do not mean to sound as though I'm making light of such a decision, just that we ought never forget that every soul belongs to God the Father and He has power to raise up children from the very stones at our feet. Therefore, if God be for you, even one single man can stand against the entire world in victory, as on the day of resurrection of Christ.

Acts 11:14-17:
"Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Then remembered I the wordof the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. For as much then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?"


God's gift of the Holy Ghost is promised to us today and not just for the saints back in the time of the early church, as we find Peter saying, "...Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call" (Acts 2:38-39).

"For I am the Lord, I change not" (Malachi 3:6a). "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever" (Hebrews 13:8).

Now, will ye Be or Not?

If Not, Not

All sin is unforgivable if you are not truly penitent.
God is Holy. NO sin/darkness may dwell with Him.

Unforunately, even with believers the flesh is weak and being a doer of the word hardly ever follows believing and being "saved," thus most are not saved even when they believe themselves to be. As it says in James they deceive themselves.
Then they become militantly ignorant and the most avid and almost rabid of false teachers/witnesses. The real good ones become calm and constrained and almost seem aloof and unconcerned.
There are different levels of exaltation and judgment, I don't know enough to say what exactly the difference will be for one person from the next, that's God's business.
I only know that weak and false teaching is rampant and the reason most will end up in hell when all the while they believed themselves worthy of heaven simply because they said some prayer and "welcomed Jesus into their hearts."
People need a much stronger, vigilant faith. When your faith and practice become truly strong you will know what I am talking about. The world will throw everything your way to try and make you stumble. Women throw themselves at men strong in the faith. Money makers heap grants upon men of faith in hopes of leading them into the love of money and forgetting the important matters of the faith. Your enemies all come atyou smiling and welcoming and lay any little snare they can in your path. And a million other temptations and tests come your way when your walk is steady...Any time your enemy sees you trying on the full armor of God they'll do whatever they can to make you believe it doesn't fit you.

Luk 18:1-8 And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?



Mar 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.


Lo, we are without excuse...

Luk 3:7-8 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.



2Nephi 9:20-29 O how great the holiness of our God! For he knoweth all things, and there is not anything save he knows it.
And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam.
And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon all men, that all might stand before him at the great and judgment day.
And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.
And if they will not repent and believe in his name, and be baptized in his name, and endure to the end, they must be damned; for the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has spoken it.
Wherefore, he has given a law; and where there is no law given there is no punishment; and where there is no punishment there is no condemnation; and where there is no condemnation the mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim upon them, because of the atonement; for they are delivered by the power of him.
For the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice upon all those who have not the law given to them, that they are delivered from that awful monster, death and hell, and the devil, and the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment; and they are restored to that God who gave them breath, which is the Holy One of Israel.
But wo unto him that has the law given, yea, that has all the commandments of God, like unto us, and that transgresseth them, and that wasteth the days of his probation, for awful is his state!
O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God.

If I had a hammer

I'd hammer in the morning

I'd hammer in the evening ... all over this land,

I'd hammer out danger

I'd hammer out a warning

I'd hammer out love between all of my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

If I had a bell

I'd ring it in the morning

I'd ring it in the evening ... all over this land,

I'd ring out danger

I'd ring out a warning

I'd ring out love between all of my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

If I had a song

I'd sing it in the morning

I'd sing it in the evening ... all over this world,

I'd sing out danger

I'd sing out a warning

I'd sing out love between all of my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

If I've got a hammer

And I've got a bell

And I've got a song to sing ... all over this land,

It's a hammer of justice

It's a bell of freedom

It's a song about love between all of my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

 

 

Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Micah Brings It

Mic 7:1-20 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: [there is] no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

The good [man] is perished out of the earth: and [there is] none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.

Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies [are] the men of his own house.

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.

I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.

Then [she that is] mine enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

[In] the day that thy walls are to be built, [in] that day shall the decree be far removed.

[In] that day [also] he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and [from] the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.

Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily [in] the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed [in] Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous [things].

The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.

Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Paint It Black

 

1Nephi 11:35-36 And the multitude of the earth was gathered together; and I beheld that they were in a large and spacious building, like unto the building which my father saw. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Behold the world and the wisdom thereof; yea, behold the house of Israel hath gathered together to fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
 And it came to pass that I saw and bear record, that the great and spacious building was the pride of the world; and it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

 

Eze 13:22-23 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: 
 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
 

 

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev’ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin’ sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
