A True Believer is a Changed Believer! "And Such Were Some Of You.... But Now You Are Washed, Sanctified, and Justified..."

The Kingdom of God Suffers Violence and the Violent Take It By Force
I awoke today with a heaviness at the realization of sin, it's power over all creation since the fall, and the utter desolation of souls being ravaged by this destruction on a daily basis. This scripture came to mind in Matthew 11. It talks about violence being done to the kingdom of God and vile, evil men, literally TAKING, and stealing the goodness of God by force. 

Everyday babies are being murdered, children raped, mother's ripped from their babies as they are forced to send them off to daycare and public schools... Evil, vile men, think they own the world...
As Christians, our job is to stand up like John the Baptist and cry "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand!!!" Our job: preach the Gospel of Salvation, Repentance from dead works...
Repent, for God's justice is swift and can come at any moment.

Matthew 11
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize]. 13 For all the prophets and the Law prophesied up until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is [the fulfillment of] Elijah [as the messenger] who was to come [before the kingdom]. 15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like little children sitting in the market places, who call to the others, 17 and say ‘We piped the flute for you[playing wedding], and you did not dance; we wailed sad dirges [playing funeral], and you did not mourn and cry aloud.’ 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking [with others], and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking [with others], and they say, ‘Look! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners [including non-observant Jews]!’ Yet wisdom is justified and vindicated by her deeds [in the lives of those who respond to Me].”

     

I've been blessed to see a handful of real, bonafide, RADICAL salvations in the past several years...Growing up in the Church, I had never seen these. I was around a lot of "good people" who really thought they were pretty good, and Jesus was just a nice ticket to Heaven... They fed the homeless, even clothed the poor, but not once can I recall seeing the power of God flow through someone to literally make them a new creation...
What is a new Creation? Being born anew is a total transformation.... 
Can a man enter his mother's womb and come out again a baby? This was a mocking question from a religious leader to Christ (John 3:4) 

   

     
And yet, we do, if we are really truly saved, we enter the womb of God, and we die to ourselves... for a lack of a better example... like the Phoenix rising from ashes... funny, how it takes a pagan tale to show forth the truth of God's power. For, truly, especially  in America, this real salvation, real transformation is a rare thing..  

(Associated with the 
sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. According to some sources, the phoenix dies in a show of flames and combustion, although there are other sources that claim that the legendary bird dies and simply decomposes before being born again)

I grow weary of Christians making excuses for sin, making excuses to nurse this vile boil they love so much... When speaking out on homosexuality, (in love), I had a fellow minister grad tell me "don't you know that most men sitting in Church on a Sunday morning look at porn?" 
I grew hot and righteously angry... yes, that is why I don't attend one of those churches. Now, don't get me wrong, if God has called you to a church, you'll know. Stay, grow, be led... But ask yourself

Is the power of God here to truly change the most vile beings?
1 Corinthians 6 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; [d]neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor [e]those who participate in homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers [whose words are used as weapons to abuse, insult, humiliate, intimidate, or slander], nor swindlers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you [before you believed]. But you were washed [by the atoning sacrifice of Christ], you were sanctified [set apart for God, and made holy], you were justified [declared free of guilt] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God [the source of the believer’s new life and changed behavior].

I don't serve the same God as many in the modern  American church...for it doesn't preach the Gospel...
What is the Gospel? The Gospel is "turn and repent..." the Gospel is "come as a little child, humble..." The Gospel is "unless your old ways change and you truly become a new creature, you have no place in Heaven..." 
These are not my words, these are Christ's
Jesus said many would call and say Lord Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and even cast out devils? But he will say "depart from me, I know you not.." (Matthew 7:22)
Why will these people not make it to Heaven, they called Jesus Lord...
They never became a little child, they never humbled themselves, they never turned away from their old sins, they never let Christ change them into a new creature.. 

Matthew 18 
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
 He called a little child and set him before them, and said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you repent [that is, change your inner self—your old way of thinking, live changed lives] and become like children [trusting, humble, and forgiving], you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever [a]humbles himself like this child is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives and welcomes one[b]child like this in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble and sin [by leading him away from My teaching]it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone [as large as one turned by a donkey] hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

 

Stumbling Blocks

“Woe (judgment is coming) to the world because of stumbling blocks and temptations to sin! It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person on whose account or through whom the stumbling block comes!
“If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble and sin, cut it off and throw it away from you [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into everlasting fire. 9 If your eye causes you to stumble and sin, pluck it out and throw it away from you [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; it is better for you to enter life with only one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fiery hell.
10 “See that you do not despise or think less of one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven [are in the presence of and] continually look upon the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 [c][For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

My dear friend Kansas was severely abused by people who should be put to death. Millions of people all over this globe will be suffering a severe punishment from the Almighty God in an act of Justice...

 

Revelation talks about the Saints, the martyrs who cry out for God to bring swift justice and judgement... All get the chance to turn and repent. Let me make this clear... All can be saved... but those who, in their heart, deny Christ, they will suffer a swift punishment. And Christians, we've got to get out of the way of God's Divine hand. 

And they cried out in a loud voice, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood." Revelations 6:10 

We don't seek revenge. We seek justice. We seek the evil to be put to an end. We seek the end of the Nazi regime, the killing, the rapping, the thievery.. and as in war, sometimes people need to die, they are so very evil. 

There is a war happening right now... Ephesians 6
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


It's not a battle between flesh and blood, but the spirit world. You can't take down evil men in the flesh or more heads more evil will arise. Only in and through the power of the Spirit of God can you take down such evil as the Rockefellers, the Carnegies, the Fords (who all were led by evil greed to enslave the American people for profit) 
Four years ago my friend Kansas was a man in a struggle, fighting to get out from under the hand of oppression... God delivered him. You know how? By showing him what a Godly family looked like... By embracing the natural cycle of life, by embracing the purpose of marriage as a wholesome, healthy place to raise children. Marriage without the desire for children, as our ancient church fathers have always said, is fornication, is adultery... This thought set him free from years of sexual abuse... by seeing God's perfect plan, and whole heartedly embracing it... Satan lost his grip forever over this young man...
He has been on a journey for four years. He has been working out his salvation with fear and trembling. He has become saved, sanctified, set apart, and a totally new person. The Gospel went inside of him and like bleach, made all the vile sin white as snow

"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." Isaiah 1:18


Kansas wrote this the other day... it's such a powerful Word from the Lord... It is a call to repentance, a call to put on those spiritual battle attire, stop nursing sin, and cut off the head of the serpent.. We should be taking down demons and evil everywhere we go... We should live like there is no tomorrow and yet like we are preparing for many future generations. We aren't afraid to die.. we aren't afraid of persecution... we only fear we will not do enough and like Paul... that somehow after preaching the Gospel to others, he himself would become disqualified for the race

1 Corinthians 9
"27 But [like a boxer] I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached [the gospel] to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified [as unfit for service].


( this was in spurred by  an article about a Christian family's persecution and their children being taken away)  http://www.christian.org.uk/news/children-seized-from-parents-for-christian-indoctrination/)

   
Man I feel a fire burning inside of me right now, and I have to let it out. The Lord told me that you reader out there, what you think is your problem: that isn't your problem. He says he has heard your cries and dried your tears, but you have nothing to fear with the Lord of Hosts. Those that walk freely, those of inherited power adhere to Christ and Him only. What God has given, let no man take away. Let no man separate. They do not hear no. They do not receive of no. Here is why. In the church often times someone is walking in the power of God and in come the naysayers... you cannot do that... you cannot say that. People are turned from the power and the glory, to the departed and the weakened.
You feel like a bride left alone standing at the alter... the voices cry out your Father has forsaken you! He has abandoned you! He has departed from you and left you all alone! What do you have to say now for your most high God? Where is he now in your time of need? Stay in the Word, stay in the truth!
   
These articles are full of demonic spells, of lies, of witchcraft, and of enchantments. The church says wow, that is so awful, Jesus, please come back to our fallen world! We are just going to crawl up in our hole like weak fuzzy bunnies until He either returns or changes the world. As mighty man of God Justin “Justman” says, do not wait on a move of God, BE A MOVE OF GOD! Do not sit down, lie down in the bunker! Get back up! Join in the fight! Be not a speaker of the Word only, but a DOER OF THE WORD (James 1:22)! Follow God, not man, regardless if anyone follows you or not. (dear friends names here) and others have been given direct words about family and farming. Others are called to street evangelism. This Word and power is for NOW, NOT LATER! I give the Lord praise for not allowing their Spirit to get broken to these truths. It is easy for the church to look in and say, “that farm is not God!” “That is not God's call for your life!” “You could be doing something else for the Kingdom!" Shall the foot say because I am not a hand, I am not part of the body (1 Cor 12:15)?
God has shown me that you out there are deprived of the purpose driven life that Christ spoke to you of. You cannot do anything with it... you cannot glorify God by speaking of it... Fear or words from others set a curse on it. Let this be scattered as far as the east is from the west oh Lord. We read of farming persecutions, yet do not pay heed to just how FAST things are changing. They are moving by ACTING, NOT SITTING! 1 Timothy 4 is here, it is now, Christ speaks to the churches. Forbidden to marry, abstinence from meat. If you are not moving, you are not glorifying God. We need the Word of God again! We pay heed to everything that proceeds from the mouth of God (Mat 4:4)! I see how if you walk with Christ in humility where you are called to be right now, even in the inner city, God will provide for you. You need faith for that. Walk in that. God's command went out... He kept and increased His people in Babylon. Know that. Live that.

This article, while a sad turn of events, we must keep our eye on Christ and not the flesh. God never said, do not be fruitful and multiply because the world is too bad. Do not farm, do not have a family... just give up. It is not in the Word. Christian birthrates are at all time lows because they are bound to the devils lies of non fruitfulness. All these problems out there would already be crushed if Christians had children 5, 10, 15 years ago. Think about it. Look all around you, the victory is in the children. Children are overcoming in a mighty way, while the parents are still sitting around dangling their feet in the pool saying, well, maybe the water is warm. Prevent them not from coming unto me (Mat 19:14). You are being deprived of all the strength and wisdom they have to offer you. You are being deprived of the joy in the mantle of teaching them. That is your calling... writing blogs or lessons for them. The anointing of God seeks to heal your wounded and weary soul.
I know the fear that can overcome you... but ONLY LISTEN TO THE ONE WHO HAS A-L-R-E-A-D-Y OVERCOME THE WORLD (John 16:33)! I can hear the church right now... oh Jacob cannot have anymore children, the world is just too bad, something might happen... does Padan Aram have a 24 hour pharmacy for birth control? Tell Rachel and Leah to stop praying for children, that's not God. Better yet, lets become Catholic and rather than God, declare vows and bow before man and pagan gods (doctrines of demons, of devils (1 Tim 4). Ha. Listen to Christ, not fear! Joseph gets thrown into the pit and here they come again saying see, I told you that was a bad idea having Children. I see you lost your little ewe lamb! I bet your God cannot deliver him back unto you! Joseph spends years working for Pharaoh... church rebuke again, “man, how can you work under Pharaoh? THAT IS NOT GOD!” I speak this, as if you do not read these articles as an overcomer, they will overcome you. Listen to Christ, not what your pastor or congregation says.
I am telling you, I feel sorry for those who took those children honestly. Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing (Luke 23:34). They have no idea just how mighty and powerful for the Kingdom a young believer is. They have no idea of the power of Christ as a comforter and a deliverer. I see those children swinging their spiritual swords around slicing all their heads off. I see those captors dying at their feet. I see them being returned after a Christ glorifying separation with a full apology. Whatever happens, God is the author of the story! If He has told you the next chapter of your life, read those Words with authority!
Here me now, if God tells you to do it, do not fear how you will get through it! Fill me up! Let me carry more burdens for the brethren. I am praying for you. I know how fear can cripple a man. There was a time for that but not now. THERE IS NOTHING STOPPING YOU! SEE IT, LIVE IT, KNOW IT. GREEN PASTURES AND WIDE OPEN SKIES! Reader, I am telling you, that is what is in store for you and I. Christ cannot be contained. He cannot be stopped.


1 Timothy 4 But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons, [misled] by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning], who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from [certain kinds of] foods which God has created to be gratefully shared by those who believe and have [a clear] knowledge of the truth. For everything God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the word of God and prayer.

But have nothing to do with irreverent folklore and silly myths. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness [keeping yourself spiritually fit]. For physical training is of some value, but godliness (spiritual training) is of value in everything and in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come. This is a faithful andtrustworthy saying worthy of full acceptance and approval. 10 It is for this that we labor and strive [often called to account], because we have fixed our [confident] hope on the living God, who is the [b]Savior of all people, especially of those who believe [in Him, recognize Him as the Son of God, and accept Him as Savior and Lord].
