“Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.”
Deuteronomy 13:3-4
The Holy Spirit will be faithful to lead us out of the realm of soulish “churchianity” (religion) and into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ – for which there is no other way to know God the Father. He has been faithful to deliver us from the captivity of the Babylon and Egyptian existence. Not every one is at the same level of deliverance. This is where patience is wrought. Some have more Babylonian baggage to be loosed from. Some have more Egyptian baggage to be free from. This is depicted in bondage to religion (Babylon) and bondage to government/politics (Egypt). These are the two pillars that a blind Samson knocked down. Samson being a type of the end time called out people of God (commonly known as “the church”). This people can see through the illusion created by religion and politics and obey the command to “come out of her my people”. But this is not a people that can be seen by the masses (at least not yet). In fact, there is one thing that we really have to understand: where there are masses of people that are following after something, you can be pretty sure that it is a deception. Those of you that know the Bible, know that God always uses the unassuming – the meek and lowly – the one that most would say “no that can’t be God – look at him…he doesn’t have a following”. Today they would say “he’s in a cult”, but would they ever stop and consider that one billion people follow Roman Catholicism? Why isn’t Roman Catholicism considered a cult? Why isn’t Mormonism a cult? This is the result of spiritual brainwashing that is at a fever pitch right now! Why aren’t the ones following Oprah and Eckhart Tolle and Dr. Phil in a cult? Why aren’t the ones following Charles Stanley in a cult? Millions follow Tweeters and Facebook – why isn’t that a cult? Let’s be honest with ourselves. The truth is not always pleasant. Notice how when an apostle preached the gospel truth – people were cut to their hearts and riots were breaking out. That’s what the Holy Ghost does – he CONVICTS people of sin so that they can repent and be saved. But therein lies a choice and God is definitely “pro-choice”. There is now a very strong spirit of anti-Christ working on people to have them even subliminally deny the Word of God by allowing other beliefs or even fellowshipping with people that have other beliefs. Don’t take my word for it – read it yourself in the Bible:
“Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is a deceiver and an antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.” – 2nd John 1:7-11
The Word of the Lord does not return to him void. I began to let go of my two sons a few years ago after many battles in the flesh trying to make them obey my commands etc., but they had a free will to do as they desired, which is exactly what they did. And as was the fate of most of us who grew up as children in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s (of course it is getting worse to this day) we fell into sex, drugs and rock and roll. They heard a lot of preaching but the eye-rolling and sighing comes with the territory when one is walking in a spirit of the mind that “thinks” they know something. This is why the sledge hammer of life (Satan) is used by God (gracefully) to beat us down until we snap out of our drunken stupor. This is what my sons are doing now. They are now coming to terms with dealing with the demons that they allowed in by opening the spiritual doors (portals) of darkness of sex, drugs and music and fighting for their own minds (Eph 4:23, Romans 12:2).
God is going to launch his last move primarily on the backs of this last generation. This will not be a religious move. This will be a supernatural move of the Holy Spirit. However, most of today’s “church” youth is going through the same religious gymnastics that they have been raised in by their parents (traditions of men) and they have not truly been born again. Now it’s worse because now they are more than ever allowing the styles of the world (kosmos) to influence them. Look at the way they dress, the way they act, the skateboards, the tattoos and piercing. This is not just a “cultural” thing. This is demonic. God is not a head-banger or a hip-hopper. He does not like long hair on men, butch haircuts on women, tattoos and body piercing. The problem with this younger generation is the same problem we had or still have (as we are being systematically delivered). The problem is: they love the world…they are walking after their own lusts. They are idolaters! The dry bones that God is going to raise up in the end are not going to care about this life. They are not going to care about extreme rock climbing and paint ball. They are only going to care about Jesus Christ returning to end this miserable mutation of life that Satan and his minions have molded since the Garden of Eden. Christians are not here to “change the world”; we are here to end this world. Jesus told them that if His Kingdom were of this world then his followers would fight the system. So what is a Christian doing today writing a congressman or a senator or marching with tape on their mouths in protest in an effort to change the laws? We have been duped! Jesus says those that overcome this kingdom of Satan “love not their lives to the death”. Everything about what the god of this world does to the human mind revolves around generating fear – and the number one fear that a human has is the fear of death. Jesus says that if we hang on to this life, we will lose our eternal life…if we let go of this life then we will have eternal life.
Whether you want to admit it or not, some of you have left your first love. You came up in a time that was not as travailing as today. Sure there were trials and tests in family life and life in general but it is different today. The reason that this warfare is more intense today is because of what has happened to us over the last 40 years. Starting with the removal of prayer in school in 1962, the doors opened up for the spiritual invasion the came in primarily through the music of the age. This opened up the door for the drugs. Then along came the “free love” and the hippies. Bear in mind that this “hippie” generation is now the ones who are hooked on the “legal” drugs of the day – this is all pharmekia: sorcery. Follow this with the worse case scenario – mass legalized abortions. At the same time the “women’s liberation” movement mounts up and this is soon followed by a loosing of mass homosexuality. Forty-plus years ago the demon of homosexuality was a shame, now it is exalted and those that speak against it as an abominable nature are accused of “hate speech” and are “homophobic”. Now we can see people today and very frequently cannot tell who is male and who is female. We are in the last days – and to that I say “THANK GOD!” What we must all sincerely do now is examine ourselves to see if we are really in the faith. Are we really going to be accounted worthy to escape the things that are very soon about to come on the earth? Remember what he said in 2nd John – we must watch out that we do not lose what we have worked for. This is not “once saved, always saved”.
Warning about God’s Dream
“God’s Dream” is the subject title and this is being passed along because it is important and it lends itself to what I have said at the beginning…we must take heed that we are not deceived. Some of you have joined yourselves to ministries that have promoted this theme. Have you asked – is this scriptural? Or does it just sound good – does it simply appeal to your feelings. This is witchcraft. For those of you that are now eye-rolling and sighing you had better ask yourself why does the Bible from beginning to end talk about witchcraft, sorcery, divination, incantations etc…and most Christians do not? The answer is because it is these very things that are at work against the mind of Christians (and non-Christians) who take it lightly.
Witchcraft is generally thought of as some kind of fictional fantasy that involves an African witch doctor or a lady with a black hat and a stew of bat wings and eye of newt. This is how Satan gets people to blow it off – he brainwashes through the centuries with these images of how he wants humans to perceive what witchcraft “really is” and then when someone talks about real witchcraft, which we can tangibly site examples of, those who have had these images burned into their psyches (souls) automatically reject the real factual presentation. The fact is, from birth the default religion of every human being is – witchcraft. Though there are varying levels of witchcraft, the base premise of witchcraft is mind control and manipulation. We have all been guilty of it to some degree at some point in our lives. We’ve manipulated people and circumstances in various ways to accomplish “our” will. Even when we think we have given advice or council we have actually manipulated and controlled. This is why religion is so damnable. It is nothing more then manipulation and control. The same goes for government (and its offshoots – education, finance etc.). This is running rampant today and is especially typified in behavior between men and women, husbands and wives. Most churches today are operating in witchcraft which operates through very subtle upside down authority. Even in ministries that appear to have male headship established – in most cases it will be a Jezebel spirit behind the scenes manipulating and controlling the environment. It is the very work of the serpent in the Garden of Eden.
Case in point: Bruce Wilkinson interviewing Rick Warren:
Bruce: “Everybody has a dream inside of their heart”
Rick: “Oh absolutely – I think – because we’re created in God’s image, God made us to be dreamers – God is a dreamer and we’re most like him when we’re creative.”
Bruce: “…do we invent our dream do you think?”
Rick: “Oh no, no, no, no – it’s placed in us from birth and it’s based on how we are shaped – the Bible says ‘I formed you in my mother’s womb’”
The most dangerous thing Rick Warren says is “the Bible says”. Is Rick Warren really rightly dividing the Word of God? Where does he come up with “God is a dreamer”? Where in the Bible does it say anything like this? God is a dreamer? God will give us dreams, he can to appear or talk to us in dreams but nowhere in the Bible can you find anything remotely close to God being a dreamer himself. How then does all this mumbo-jumbo equate to “we all have a dream to live out”? This is foolishness at a minimal and witchcraft at a maximum. So be alert to these liars and people like Bill Johnson who claims we should be “Dreaming with God”. Just by looking at his website (http://www.bjm.org/home.html) we should be able to see that this (along with countless ministries) is nothing more than a personality cult. If you look at this website for example, the proof is right in front of you. Why does anyone need to inundate their website with pictures of themselves? The caption on his site reads: “I cannot afford to have a thought in my head about me that is not in His”. The operative words to look for are “I, me, my, mine” etc….anytime you hear someone continually using those words you know you are dealing with the spirit of anti-Christ, in this case AKA - a carnal Christian. Obviously we cannot escape using those words when giving a personal testimony but this is far from someone giving a personal testimony.
You don’t have to dig to deep to find that there is evil afoot in these ministries. You should easily see this when you examine who they fellowship with…Bennie Hinn, TBN, Todd Bentley, Rick Joyner…etc. Again, when you see that masses are following it – especially when you see them sitting with the likes of Larry King and Sean Hannity – you better know that they are barking up the wrong tree.
I implore you to examine these things. God says that his people are destroyed because they are ignorant. If the ignorant are destroyed then what is the fate of those who know and choose to ignore the warnings? The following link gives a more detailed look at the root of this “dream” teaching which is steeped in new age mysticism: http://herescope.blogspot.com/2008/08/gods-dream-peace.html. At its core is the promotion of “peace” but it is a false peace because Jesus Christ as Lord of all is not the focal point.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” – John 14:27
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” – 1st Thessalonians 5:3
This teaching is grounded in the new age “peace” movement. This is not the peace of Jesus Christ but this is the peace of the world…it is the peace that says all faiths can “co-exist”. It says we do not need a redeemer…that we do not need someone to believe in or a redeemer…we just “are”. It is teaching that “I am” a god…this is the very lie the serpent told Eve.
Consider this illustration: We’ve all seen the Federal Express logo below:
How many of you have seen the arrow between the orange letter “E” and the letter “X”? If you haven’t seen it before now you know it is there, but before you noticed it, you had no idea it was there – yet it was there the entire time. This is how Satan works. He’s right in front of us and right in our midst but we cannot see or hear him until we have eyes to see and ears to hear. Until then we cannot see the truth and we cannot hear truth – even if we “think” otherwise.
What Do You Believe?
This is not about finger-pointing, ministry bashing or “I told you so”. It is about exposing darkness and more importantly this is about a balanced walk with Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit. What makes us evil is our selfish need of attention. The more we are still inundated with the fallen state the more we will “think” we are serving God but we are really selfishly looking for attention and glory. What we have around us today is the most pathetic state of existence in the history of mankind. Reality has to be dealt with though – we don’t want to be in a “dreamland”. In our own families are things that have been swept under the rug because of pride, ignorance, blood-line curses, witchcraft…it is important to realize and understand the cause but what is more important is the outcome. I have opened my mouth in the past before some of you. How do you explain the cursing and yelling and anger and middle finger pointing?
Something got stirred up in them and it wasn’t the Holy Spirit.
We have not yet seen a real full outpouring of God’s Spirit. He will really cast out demons. He will really heal that which has been defiled and mutated. He will really heal the broken hearted. He will really heal the sick and raise the dead. This is not dream stuff – this will be reality! I believe that this will happen soon! Are you prepared to die because of this? If you claim to be a “warrior for Christ” or a “Holy Ghost filled believer” then you had better be prepared to die because that is just what is going to happen to those vessels that are carrying this outpouring of God’s Spirit. Just as they plotted to kill Jesus and even plotted to kill the evidence of his power (Lazarus for example); the same will happen to the body of Christ in the end. Don’t believe the fable that says that display was only appointed to the apostles of that day…not when you have Jesus telling us we will be delivered up to be killed at the end of the age. They are not going to be killing solely because of words that were spoken – they will kill because God showed up and demonstrated who He is. That is what they hate. They hate God! Yes, this is radical…being beaten to a pulp, hanging on a cross, being stoned to death or beheaded is radical too. Do you think the end time saint will be exempt from this? The reason why we haven’t seen it for nearly two thousand years is because the “church” got drunk and fell asleep. Now it is time to wake up!
This latter day mission is to reach and teach those whom God has chosen and for all to know that “it is written”. Broad is the way of destruction and many will go that way – but narrow is the way to truth and life. We cannot walk in our “feelings” in this. We must take the whole roll and only the whole roll – the Bible, and that’s it. The “day of the Lord” is defined as “great” and “terrible” and it is coming rapidly upon us. God’s grace is “great” but his wrath is “terrible”. If we do not separate from Babylon and Egypt we will be deceived and we will have “the mark of the beast”. This is a nature and a mind-set. It is not about physically having a chip in your hand or forehead (although I would not discount that as a probability on a large scale). It is more about the spiritual right hand of authority and following the proper headship in the person of the one true God – Jesus Christ of Nazareth. It is about truly being converted from that serpentine seed that mingled itself with man via the fallen host of heaven by that old man being killed off and resurrected by the Spirit of God.
Ask yourself – Do I really believe that the very same person that walked on this earth two thousand years ago – who came as the Lamb of God to save those that would receive him (grace)…was martyred by religion and government (the whore and the beast) and rose bodily from the grave and ascended to his eternal throne with God the Father…who will come back to this earth – physically – the very same person that told Thomas to put his hand in his side…who will judge the earth as the Lion of Judah (wrath)…and will sit as King in Jerusalem? Do you believe that? If you do and you have sincerely asked Him to forgive you and to baptize you with the Holy Spirit AND fire…then two should truly be able to walk together because they are agreed – they believe in the same person, the same Lord. If two cannot walk together because there is disagreement then you know there is another Jesus, another spirit and another gospel at work in at least one of the two.
Somebody has to really (for real) come to this point:
Praying for God’s people to come together into the unity of faith – to repent so that they shall truly be able to discern (judge) between right and wrong and to be able to discern (judge) who serves the Lord and who does not,
“And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.” – Malachi 3:17-18
“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” – 1st Timothy 1:4-17

Loved the "arrow analogy"! Thanks for "pointing" that out!
Praise be to the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
