Hebrews 11:27, “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.”
Hello friends. There's a lot going on right now. First, as you can all see,
my GodLovesPeople.com ministry
website is back online. Amen and amen! I never heard anything back from
anyone concerning what happened, so I really don't know. It appears that the
alleged DMCA trademark infringement case was dismissed. I don't feel any
sense of victory or pride in this matter; but rather, great humility and
gratitude that my ministry's websites are still here to help others for the
Lord. I sincerely don't know if this was a bogus complaint or if someone
does indeed have a trademark but decided not to pursue it in court. Either
way, I am humbled before God and not rejoicing in any way over my critics or
enemies. I rejoice in the Lord, as the Bible says we are supposed to.
Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.”
I would like to give a special thanks to the Christian Law Association (CLA) for their guidance in this DMCA complaint process. I've promoted the CLA for the past 11 years through my ministry and by God's grace plan to continue doing so for years to come. They represent churches and individual Christians who are facing persecution and prosecution for their Christian faith.
I signed up for another VPS hosting company today. LoveTheTruth.com is now on VPS hosting. VPS means Virtual Private Server. That means instead of sharing a computer (server) with thousands of customers, I am only sharing the computer with a small handful of people, and I have specified resources that I can use without worrying if I'm using too much. So between the two VPS accounts I have 80 GB of disk space to work, 2 GB of RAM and 2 TB of bandwidth per month.... a blessing from the Lord! I can upgrade if I need more resources. I am grateful to all my web visitors for coming to my website and recent section (my daily soapbox/pulpit) to hear what this humble cyberspace preacher has to say. I heard Brother Lester Roloff say in a sermon the other day that “Preachers are God's standing army!” I love that statement. We are in a spiritual battle like never before.
Lately I've felt like I'm on The Poseidon Adventure (the film about an ocean liner that a rogue wave turned upside down). I rest confident and joyful that my name is written in Heaven and God is still on His throne. If God be for me, who can be against me? No one! My websites are the Lord's websites. My labours are Christ's labours in me (Galatians 2:20). And as I've said previously, because you just never know what a day may bring forth...
If this website goes down... go to my new website at Jesusisprecious.org!
I've done quite a bit on Jesusisprecious.org and definitely plan Lord willing to get it up and running, but I need some time. I'm hoping in a few weeks to have it online, if all goes as planned, Lord willing. I've been in so much pain this week. My whole body aches from nerve pain. My right arm is hurting a lot as I type, and it burns inside. My neck feels like there's a sewing needle driven through it (that is, horrible pain where the bone is in the back, which radiates into my facial areas. Sharp pain radiates down my right arm, over the shoulder and into my big thumb. Also, my two middle fingers. From the outside I look fine, except for a noticeable limp when I walk. My leg feels half asleep all the time, and my right arm. But I thank God that I am functional and I have my strength. I'd much rather be messed up the way my body is than to be worse off. I am humble and grateful to God for His many blessings and for my health afflictions that humble me continually and compel me to pray. James 5:13, “Is any among you afflicted? let him pray...” One day at a time.
Brother Hyles in his book on Exploring Prayer With Jack Hyles says that fasting is letting go of the physical to grasp more of the spiritual. Basically, my health afflictions have the same effect as fasting in my life, that is, they compel me to walk by faith and not by sight, because I'm always looking forward to the Lord's return, receiving a new body fashioned like unto Christ's and it's difficult to enjoy this temporal world. Fasting is denying your fleshly body the things it wants, to force yourself to set your affections on things above as Colossians 3:1-4 teaches. Colossians 3:1-4, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Did you read that? The Bible says we are DEAD to this earthly life as born-again Christians, because our life is now hid IN CHRIST.
The day you got saved, Jesus Christ became your boss in every area of your life. You don't work for your employer, you work for the Lord. Colossians 3:22-24, “Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” One of the great joys of the believer's life is contending for the Christian faith. I count it a privilege to be used of God to guide others into the truth.
I still have all the same plans for my new ideas for websites and themes, as I spoke of in my previous lengthy article, Here's What's Going On; God Is Still On His Throne! Lord willing, as I am able, I hope to do many things with the Lord's strength. I have a sheet of paper with about 25 articles I am planning to write, Lord willing. As God puts ideas and truths in my heart, I write them down so I can share them with others. I really recommend that everyone get the King James Bible on audio DVD and listen to Alexander Scourby. What a blessing it is to hear the precious, inspired, King James Bible!!! Turn that nasty hellivision off!!! I guarantee you that regular TV watchers don't memorize Bible Scriptures! It is tragic that everytime most people get bored they go sit in front of the lie-i-vision and get plugged into Hell. That box invites demonic spirits into people's homes. I hate television!!! Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off! Find better things to do with your time. I didn't learn to play steel guitar, learn to cook or build my websites by watching the idiot box.
Consistent Prayer Is Much Better Than
Long Prayer
Please keep me in your continued prayers whoever you may be. I believe that even a small prayer activates the machinery in Heaven and starts the ball of God's omnipotent power rolling. To believe in prayer is to believe in God Who hears and answers prayer. To not pray is a lack of faith, saying that we really don't believe God cares about us nor will He do anything to help us, so why pray? Listen to what King David said in Psalms 22:1, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. ” David said that he prayer to God, but God didn't hear him at all.
Psalms 44:23, “Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.” David was frustrated, impatient and bold in his prayers to God. David asked God how much longer He was going to stay sleeping? David cried in prayer, but didn't feel like God was listening. We've all been there. I've learned that you truly begin to mature in the Lord when you keep on praying anyway, no matter how dismal, unproductive or useless prayer may seem in our finite, flawed and human minds. God is capable of doing the unimaginable, miracles and that which everyone said couldn't be done. It requires a greater faith to keep praying when the answers don't seem to be coming, and faith pleases God.
Anybody would gladly pray if the skies of heaven poured down gold, silver and materialistic blessings. I believe that's why God steps out of the picture and makes us feel like He's ignoring us. In fact, this is the exact Biblical teaching of Luke 18:1-8. The unjust judge avenged the irritating woman to get rid of her, but God ignores us to test us (that is, to test how much faith we really have). How much faith do you have? You have as much faith, not how long you pray; but rather, how persistent you pray. Long prayers don't impress God (Matthew 6:7-8), but to keep praying when it seems like there's no reason left to pray greatly pleases God. Let's all start praying consistently, morning and evening and afternoon. Amen!
Remember the story of the rabbit and the turtle. The rabbit was fast and
could outrun the turtle anytime, anywhere. But the turtle still won the
race, because he kept with the stuff! The rabbit became overconfident and
lost sight of his purpose, but the turtle stayed with the course and
finished. In God's marathon it's not a matter of who finishes first; but
rather, just finishing the race that He has set before you. Amen! All God
expects is that we keep going, never quit, don't stop praying, don't stop
sharing the Gospel, keep trying to do right, and keep trusting Him at all
times, no matter what happens (Job 13:15). The best of Christians may fail
to live right 5 times out of 10, but that's a lot better than failing 10
times out of 10 because you're a heathen that's not even trying. I am
speaking of our fellowship with God here, as Christians. I am not speaking
of salvation, which has nothing to do with our lifestyle or how hard we try
to live right. Eternal life is a free gift, paid in full by Jesus' precious
blood. All we do is receive God's righteousness by faith in the Gospel, that
is, Christ's death, burial and resurrection three days later (1st
Corinthians 15:1-4).
World Events In The News And Biblical Prophecy
Everything happening today in world events is in perfect harmony with the holy Scriptures. Truly, the pretribulation Rapture must be very near. I can tell you one thing for sure, that is, each day is one day closer to the Rapture. Isn't that a happy thought? Each day on earth is one less day that we have to be here. The unsaved world loves this temporal life and places the utmost priority on money, success and earthly happiness. However, as born-again Christians we prioritize eternal happiness, rewards at the Judgment Seat Of Christ, and laying up treasures in Heaven by obeying the Bible. The heathen world can have their fame, money and pleasures. I'M SEEING HIM WHO IS INVISIBLE!!! Amen! Hebrews 11:27, “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.”
With all this talk of France, Israel, England and the United States invading Syria, and Russia and Iran defending Syria, it sure seems like the Rapture is imminent doesn't it! Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The saber-rattling will eventually end and we will go to war against Syria and Iran, starting World War III. Remember, the Antichrist will stand up from the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and claim to be God half way through the Tribulation period (2nd Thessalonians 2:4; Daniel 9:27). Biblically, Israel is the center of the world. To help you understand the meaning of Revelation, remember that “The Great Whore” is the city of Jerusalem (that is, the Illuminati that controls Israel and the New World Order, Revelation 17:18; 11:8). The whore fornicates with the kings of the world and controls the scarlet coloured beast upon which she rides (Revelation 18:9).
The “scalet coloured beast” is the world's political systems and war machines (Revelation 17:3). This is not the same Beast as the Antichrist. Hence, the powers behind Israel (the Illuminati) are taking over the world. The Illuminati reign over the kings of the earth. The Bible refers to the Illuminati as “THAT GREAT CITY” (Revelation 17:18), because they control Jerusalem (Israel) today and have since 1948. Revelation 11:8 calls Jerusalem Sodom and Egypt, two very wicked places historically. Israel is God's nation, but evil men have run it into the ground spiritually. It is the nation of Israel itself that is the apple of God's eye, and not unbelieving Jews who blaspheme the name of Jesus Christ. Less than 3% of Israel today profess any faith in Christ. Tel Aviv is the homosexual tourist destination of the world.
The truth of the New World Order was not as evident a century ago, but is as plain as the sun today. In the end, the kings of the earth destroy the whore (the Marxist/Zionist Illuminati - Revelation 17:16). This happens AFTER the Rapture. During the 7 year Tribulation period, a coalition of nations submit to the Antichrist in fear. Satan finally takes control over the entire world, with the Beast in full satanic power, working lying wonders and signs to deceive mankind. The world follows the Antichrist (2nd Thessalonians 2:10), because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. The wicked attack God's nation of Israel which has been purged by Tribulation and the Lord destroys them all (Russia and her allies). Jesus returns at the Second Coming and establishes His literal reign from the throne of David as King over the entire earth. What a day that will be! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
END
The Error Of Expecting Everyone To Have The Same Salvation Experience As Paul
“Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).
I love you all in the Lord, whoever you may be!
1st Thessalonians 5:25, “Brethren, pray for us.”
