    The Lord is coming, the season is now! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!!

      And I will add. Don't wait to clean up yourself as he receives you just as you are sins and all. Repenting sincerely turning from known sin, accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and believe he was born of a virgin, died on the cross was raised up and sitting on the right hand of GoD and baptizing (in the NAME) not titles, of Jesus Christ for remission of your sins. You'll get there. He will not remember your sins. If you fall, Reiner come back. Never think you can't come back. Ask fir Gods desires not your desires

    This is such a frightening scripture to me as I nearly truly loss my mind as the saying goes about 5 years ago. No one including me understands what happened and I have no confidence in asking any person I know. After years and years of alcohol and sexual immorality and living in defiance and rebellion , I suddenly began having visions and hallucinations some that were most definitely accompanied by supernatural and or demonic prophecy and even scripture that was “divinely “ given in it’s coincidence or timing. The extremely confusing element of this experience which lasted for months is that I grew up in a pentecostal church including private school and many retreats, church camps, conferences and revivals and was not only saved as a young child but much later radically delivered and/or “saved” in my early thirties and this was evident to all and also miraculous also in nature. To complicate matters mental illness runs generations deep in my family and I have a background of psychiatric hospitalizations and therefore it is easily believable to some that I was simply experiencing psychosis or schizophrenia in this season. If you have any insights or comments that would help me possibly conclude what actually occurred and if I can ever rest assured in my spiritual walk with the Lord please cover this kind of thing on a podcast or video. I am sober and serving the Lord today in all that I can do and say but sometimes am still terrified and disturbed by my past particularly this seemingly insane period to which there seem to be no explanation that I can find. I understand that I may never know and that His ways are not mine and that there are many mysterious characteristics of our God, however it is difficult to have lasting enduring peace, faith or hoy while wondering if God himself lied to me and why if so or questions like can Satan take you to a particular scripture when you open your Bible physically and it is so timely that it is terrifying and bone chilling. People knew things about me in this deception and seriously off the charts long era in my life and there was even a long vision like movie scene that lasted several minutes or more that I physically saw outside my bedroom window IN THE MOON and I was with another person who saw and described the same thing and he knew nothing of my current experiences. I also experienced meeting people in person who were as clones or copies exact copies of my now grown children! It was terrifying , exciting, miraculous, demonic, supernatural, insane and enlightening all at the same time. I am somewhat frightened to pray even now 5 years later and feel there are no sure answers even in scripture especially since all this stuff started during a time when I was devoted to prayer and reading the word of God and taking even daily communion so it seems to return to the same would possibly bring on more mystery and more mystical and crazy occurrences. Thank you so much for all your videos and reading my lengthy questions and comments. May God richly bless you and your ministry and families.

      Hello Christine. Your comment resonates with me. I too grew up in church and was saved at about the age of 12. Afterwards, one of my little brothers died, my parents divorced because of my father's infidelity, my father abandoned me and my other brother, never paid a dime of child support, my mother went to work and left the church and began drinking and smoking and going to bars and got involved with married men. My whole world was shattered. My church just abandoned us. Nobody checked on us, nobody cared. My heart aches just writing this. I prayed so hard that God would put things right and it seemed my prayers went unanswered. I got angry with God, with the church, my parents, at the world, and I became prey to the devil, and I was recruited into satanism and witchcraft. I was angry with all the wrong people. I should have laid the blame where it belonged -- with the devil. But that's the trick of the devil. I didn't know any better back then though. Long story short, a few years later I left the occult, and a number of years later after becoming a mother and divorced myself, I felt the Lord drawing me near to him again. And like the story of the prodigal, I joyfully and tearfully came back home. I experienced alot of paranormal activity of every kind all of my life since I was born. There were plenty of open doors in my family, including witchcraft in disguise. Like you mentioned also, sins and curses passed down through the bloodlines. It wasn't until I began to be educated on the authority I had in Christ and the power of prayer, that things began to get better, supernaturally I mean. And they are better. My home is clean, I am clean, bless God. Because of my past experiences all my life in the supernatural and demonic, I am extremely sensitive to it. I can sense it. I have dreams still to this day interacting with "them" and having the sight and spiritual awareness I suppose, of them wanting to destroy me in any way they can. We have a real enemy. So my suggestion and advice to you is to find out what doors you may possibly have in your life that still may be open and close them. This will require prayer and asking the Lord to show you and will involve repentance. It may be just one small door, but a door nevertheless. Let there be no cracks in your own life or in your home that would give rights to the enemy to come in. If you have unforgiveness or bitterness or anger, those are open doors. If you are watching tv or internet that is ungodly, listening to ungodly music, these too are open doors. I hope this helps. I pray that you continue to heal and get better. It's a process that takes time, but bless God you are getting there. Because of what you have endured and experienced you will always be sensitive to these things just like I am. Praise the Lord, I am thankful for that. We are not ignorant of his devices. The love and peace and mercy and grace of God be with you and preserve you always 🙏 ❤ ✝️

      “So, you people are not loyal to God! You should know that loving the world is the same as hating God. So if a person wants to be a friend of the world, he makes himself God’s enemy. Do you think the Scripture means nothing? It says, “The Spirit that God made to live in us wants us for himself alone.” But God gives us even more grace, as the Scripture says, “God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.” Proverbs 3:34 So give yourselves to God. Stand against the devil, and the devil will run away from you. Come near to God, and God will come near to you. You are sinners. So clean sin out of your lives. You are trying to follow God and the world at the same time. Make your thinking pure. Be sad, cry, and weep! Change your laughter into crying. Change your joy into sadness. Humble yourself before the Lord, and he will honor you.”
      ‭‭James‬ ‭4:4-10‬ ‭ICB‬‬

      I was addicted to playing computer games and sexual immorality while having no interest in the bible. Then one day, when I just began college, I too, forgot what was reality and began to live in my imagination. Doctor called it an acute psychotic disorder. It was a terrible experience, I started to injure myself and even contemplated suicide. My memories are a bit muddy and I did and say a lot of bizarre things, like ignoring the connecting words of a sentence and leaving the listener to connect my words together, speaking in binary 1's and 0's lol, saying the word "balance" repetitively and some thoughts about my life being permanently sealed (The good and the bad way).
      My father put on some gospel songs when I was in hospital and after I was discharged and I thank God he did that. I remember listening to my Dad watching Joseph Prince on TV. I felt a sense of fright and didn't like it. Also I felt scared when people intercrossed their hands (like someone would when he prays).
      Then suddenly, it changed to the opposite extreme...I believed my father, mother and brother were the trinity! xD
      Then I slowly came to my senses. I realized it was demonic oppression after I decided to watch JP and other teachers. I began to gain wisdom and interest in the Scriptures after having a period where the only thing I did was listen to shuffled gospel songs on spotify. And, here I am today where I got a job and the length of my days have increased (Rejoicing in the Truth of Grace), solely because of the work of the Lord in my life!
      I tend to think, if that terrible experience did not happen, I would not found my way to the gospel of grace. It definitely built my faith and it was the Sovereign plan of Christ to save me this way!

    I think i came under Strong Delusion after believing what i thought were undeniable signs from God. I was taken by a belief. I stayed in the faith but believed this other thing at the same time. I did things out of character thinking it was okay at the time but now I feel like a complete fool because i really believed it was from God when it wasn't. I have regret but must move forward.

    God sends strong delusions into the world by allowing Satan to do the work that God has planned and authorized as a judgment against the wicked while he withholds the grace and mercy by the power of the Holy Spirit that is necessary for our hearts to be insusceptible to lies and wickedness that would damn us. (2 Samuel 24, 1 Chronicles 21, and 1 Kings 22:19-23 are good Scriptural references for how this plays out.)
    Piper, as much as I respect him and as solid as he is, wrongly attempts to seperate the unrepentant sinner's hardness of heart in response to truth from the reality of their reprobation according to the sovereignty of God because he says it is not explicitly mentioned in the text, when it actually IS mentioned in the text as "those who are perishing or on their way to destruction." The reason that the people under the strong delusion believe and commit themselves to the lies of the man of lawlessness is because they are unrepentant and faithless and don't have the Holy Spirit who leads into all truth, YET they don't possess repentance, faith, and the Holy Spirit because they are gifts from God that if withheld makes us blind to the glory of Christ in the Gospel as stated in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 and leaves us captive to Satan to do whatever he wants as stated in 2 Timothy 2:26.
    This is not to say that the unrepentant are not responsible to God for their sinfulness and that they don't deserve their judgment, but to say that God's sovereignty in the reprobation of some is not relevant or not "there" in 2 Thessalonians 2 is to suggest, if unconsciously and unintentionally, that ultimately God is not sovereign over the condition of our hearts but we are, and that in a way minimizes our absolute dependence upon the grace of God to grant us repentance and faith so that we won't fall prey to the judgment that we deserve which in providence is worked out by God allowing Satan overwhelming influence in our hearts for us to be deceived unto damnation.
    Concerning the final question, for one to be so concerned about the hardness of their heart and have a desire to pray earnestly to God so as to not fall prey to deception is a sign that you are born again and merely in a state of lack of assurance due to ignorance and a failure to meditate on Scripture or a season of backsliding or "Prodigal Son syndrome" as I like to call it, because otherwise you would be like Esau or King Saul who asked for forgiveness and help to an extent and for a small period of time, but ultimately were not sincere because they were not granted true repentance and saving faith. These two were never true sons who had salvation at one time but lost it later, but they were reprobate. For those in the grievous state of lukewarmness, we should continue to confess our sins while keeping before us continually the Gospel which is the power of God unto salvation and also the tool he uses to draw the wayward back home to himself so that they won't be snatched from his hand and lost forever. Jesus will leave the 99 obedient sheep to pursue the one weak and rebellious sheep and bring them back because of his love, and he does so by the conviction that brings godly sorrow and the Gospel that comforts his people as they mourn their sins and seek restoration. Continue to do this while praying and God will not let you be subject to the judgment of Satan's strong delusion unto damnation. I pray that God blesses whoever reads this and hopefully it is helpful. 🙏

      If the Holy Spirit is real, and Jesus gives us that Holy Spirit and says we can do miracles even greater than he did, then why can’t Christians miraculously heal?

    • @phieble
      @phieble Před 2 lety +3

      @@LRM5195 12) “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13) You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14) Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!
      Notice that in this verse that you referenced, Jesus did not say that those who believe would do greater miracles, he just said greater works, which can refer to general works of obedience that we perform throughout our entire lives as Christians. Also, since Jesus is God and it is his power through the Holy Spirit working in us to do what we do, obviously he doesn't mean that our works will be greater in impact or significance than his, so the greater there must be a matter of quantity rather than quality. Jesus was one man who lived on earth for about 33 years and worked primarily in one region, whereas now there are Christians all over the world living more than 33 years and collectively doing millions of good works unto the glory of God, so that's what Jesus meant. Those who love Jesus and trust in him will demonstrate that by living in obedience as he did.
      As for the other part of your question, the power to perform miracles and heal people comes from Holy Spirit who gives all Christians spiritual gifts of his choosing that will help them to best advance the Kingdom of God through the Gospel and maintain the spiritual health of the church. While the apostles were not the only ones who had the spiritual gifts of healing and miracles, they were the PRIMARY posessers of these gifts with only a few others performing healings and miracles because those gifts served mainly to prove that their authority and roles as apostles who heard from God and authoritatively communicated the doctrine for the church going forward was legitimately from Jesus who had truly risen from the dead. Miracles and physical healing was a way for God to validate the authority and calling of some prophets, apostles, and Jesus as the Messiah, but it is not his main concern for us nor is it the primary way of him advancing the Kingdom. Instead the continual, true, and earnest preaching and defending of the Gospel is.

      @phieble Před 2 lety +2

      @@LRM5195 One more thing. The following verses will back up explicitly what I said earlier. If a Christian can't do miracles and heal, which is most of us, it's because the Holy Spirit has not given us that spiritual gift and in that case, although God does still do miracles and heal himself whenever it is his will to do so. You would do well to read through the Scriptures yourself and check whatever other Christians are telling you by God's word.
      7) A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. 8) To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. 9) The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10) He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. 11) It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have. - 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
      29) Are we all apostles? Are we all prophets? Are we all teachers? Do we all have the power to do miracles? 30) Do we all have the gift of healing? Do we all have the ability to speak in unknown languages? Do we all have the ability to interpret unknown languages? Of course not! 31) So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts. - 1 Corinthians 12:29-31

      It doesn't really matter what damage they are in, if God decides to take them as his, it is done. Fact is is that if anyone does not believe, they are already under strong delusion. It is impossible for them to perceive anything that is God and it is impossible for them to do anything worthy of being saved. They have no hope in the world, but they only use worldly ways to get what the want. But nothing is impossible with God.

    I think God sends those delusion to hurry things up. Just like with pharaoh. It says in one verse God hardened his heart. Another verse says Pharoah hardened his heart. I believe God is in control if he wants. I believe 100 percent he knows who won't obey and love the Lord. He makes events happen because he knows they will anyway. It's just pulling a big picture together. Maybe a welcoming of events to take place. That is why he pushes the first domino, so to say.

I don't know what Gld knows and I can't do what God does. Of this is true and I know there is a hell and I know there is only one person to save me, I should by all means go to that person: Christ Jesus. But some people have already decided they will not have Christ rule over them because of the fear of death, or God's wrath upon them. People don't want to think lf it like this because they don't know God's character or promises, so they immediately think "Why would God do that?" instead of the very biblical answer " If God can do that, he can make me do what is right and right all my wrongs" we immediately assume that there is no hope of somebody else has all the power because we only know of things on the earthly plain, not on the heavenly.

    False teachers are one of the ways that God deludes those who have pleasure in unrighteousness. It’s also Important to remember that a false teacher can be anyone (father, mother, friend, teacher, boss, etc.), not just a pastor.
    ““Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Repent and turn away from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For any one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, who separates himself from me, taking his idols into his heart and putting the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and yet comes to a prophet to consult me through him, I the Lord will answer him myself. And I will set my face against that man; I will make him a sign and a byword and cut him off from the midst of my people, and you shall know that I am the Lord. And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. And they shall bear their punishment-the punishment of the prophet and the punishment of the inquirer shall be alike- that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor defile themselves anymore with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people and I may be their God, declares the Lord God.””

    In 1 Kings 22:19 - 23 God calls for a lying spirit to deceive Ahab (who was under the influence of Jezebel), and lead him to his death.
    Read Amos 8:11 - 12.
    You ever stop to think that God wouldn't do the same by weaving traps into scripture to lure modern - day (religious) Ahab's to their doom (modern day Ahab's under the influence of Jezebel).
    There is no Mountain at Meggido. It is a Tell, or man - made mound.
    Zechariah 12:11 describes Meggido as a "plain".
    Both passages contradict each other?
    So either scripture is wrong, WHICH IT CAN'T BE, or our translation is wrong.

    • @IWillHumbleMyself
      @IWillHumbleMyself Před 2 lety +2

      Great point about the lying spirit. God definitely has and does use evil as a device for punishment and judgment. As for the armageddon, I listen to a dutch teacher who at one time explained that the armageddon written about in Revelation is not the valley of Meggido like we have all been taught. He explained that it was actually 3 Words in Hebrew translated into Greek to make the name armageddon. These words are:
      Aremah # 6194 meaning "a heap"
      Gai # 1516 meaning "valley"
      Din # 1779 meaning "judgment"
      So armageddon just means a heap valley of judgment. Could actually be anywhere in the world. Not necessarily in Israel. He went on to teach that he actually believes the valley is not located in Israel, but he believes it might be another world superpower. He believes that battle will take place where the bible refers to as Babylon. And he went on to hypothesize that he believes that Babylon is America. He believes, like many others, that there is no other nation in history that fits Babylon's description than this nation. Very interesting. And he's not American, he is a Dutch teacher from Holland. English is his second language. He is a very good teacher with lots of great insight. I have learned alot from him. He is the only man I have ever heard this theory and this kind of teaching from before regarding armageddon. I keep this teaching close to me. I thought it was very good and worthy of noting. Be blessed.

      Even though God is behind creation - that does not mean that God is behind everything that happens within creation.
      Since God has given us free will - we are capable of being creators in our own right; including creating suffering for ourselves and others.
      This delusionary belief - that God is causing our suffering and perhaps punishing us - is one of the most dangerous delusionary belief promoted by religious teachers. For how can we become free from suffering if we do not realize what is causing it?
      As long as we believe that delusion - we will blame God or others - or our circumstances for our suffering and not realize that we are responsible for our suffering.
      Our wrong thinking - and the negative emotions and negative actions that flow from our thoughts - causes our suffering.
      Depending on what we choose to believe and how we choose to respond to life - we create more Love in the world or the opposite.
      When we choose to express the opposite of Love or cause harm - it is not God that is at fault.
      God gifted us with the freedom to do what we want - to do and to create or miscreate along whatever lines us feel are necessary - but we cannot overpower God.
      We eventually learn from our choices to be better creators - to create happiness instead of suffering - and it is suffering that teaches us this; suffering points us away from what is anti-life - anti-Love.
      Our own personal suffering is the so-called "punishment" we receive when we create choices that are not aligned with Love - that is the only "punishment" meted out by God.
      We are designed to suffer whenever we miss the mark - which is the meaning of sin. The mark - the target or goal - is Love; we suffer whenever we fall out of alignment with Love.
      Suffering and joy are part of the guidance system we have been given. The homing device - which when followed - will bring us back home to Love.
      Suffering tells us that we are believing a delusion or taking a wrong direction - while joy tells us the opposite.
      If we do not want to suffer - then we must stop believing or doing what causes us and others suffering - and start believing and doing what brings peace - Love and joy.

    What if the strong delusion is Jesus Christ being your idol of worship? You believe in a so-called "Trinity," where JC is G-d, but he is not.
    Why do Christian translators DELIBERATELY tamper with G-d's word? For in Psalm 22:16, it says, "For dogs 🐕 have encompassed me; a company of evildoers have enclosed me; like a lion 🦁, they are at my hands and my feet."
    Yet open your KJV, it says,
    "For dogs 🐕 have compassed me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet."
    Where's the "like a lion" part? Why did the translators put in PIERCED, that isn't even THERE?
    They poured in the strong delusion to make Christians believe that this passage has to do with Christ, though it does not. JC may well have recited Psalm 22 as he died on the cross, but they didn't have to tamper with the translation to make the Psalm bear a piercing where none is. Funny they got Isaiah 38:13 right, translating the same Hebrew word "as a lion" there.
    Another point: Christianity doesn't have its adherents study and know Hebrew, because had they learned Hebrew, translators could not get away with mistranslating scriptures for their deliberate deceptions. Christians mostly do not learn Greek either. How convenient.
    I share these thoughts with Christians because I care, not because I want to argue or divide the flock. JC said salvation is of the Jews in John 4:22. So why do Christians estrange themselves from Jews? Why is the "New Testament" so antisemitic? Jews would not kill one of their own people. The treacherous Romans have great standing where Pilate and his wife are concerned, but it's "we want Barabbas," and "crucify him," (Jesus), where JEWS are concerned. They killed Jesus, you know.

    The Gospel:
    Plain and
    Simple
    “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
    beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your
    minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
    that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3
    Ask someone today if they are saved and
    you will most likely hear responses like these:
    “I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I
    have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been
    baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good
    and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually
    knows the gospel that saves them. These use￾less phrases don’t describe a thing about what
    the gospel is and has left a devastating effect
    of people not knowing what it is that they are
    saved from nor how they are saved; which
    leaves a more serious effect of people ques￾tioning their salvation.
    Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salva￾tion that is in Christ with vague church
    sounding phrases that do not communicate
    anything. But rather present God’s word with
    clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel:
    plain and simple.
    Sin was passed upon all men by one man
    Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin
    (Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of
    condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of
    this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good
    works one might do we are still found sinners
    in the sight of our Creator God. And all un￾righteousness and those who follow get in￾dignation and wrath. We cannot be found
    righteous for by God’s law we are found sin￾ners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even
    one law we are found guilty.
    It is for this reason of not being able to
    create our own righteousness and being born
    in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus
    3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in
    the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross
    2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath
    and judgement that was intended for us sin￾ners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial,
    and resurrection on our behalf that we are
    able to have peace with God and forgiveness
    of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good
    news is unto all but only those that believe in
    it are made righteous in Christ (Romans
    3:22).
    It is then after we have heard this good
    news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit
    and we are now part of Christ’s body the
    church (Eph 1:13)
    There is nothing that we need to do, no
    good works that are required, and no bad
    works that can separate us from our new po￾sition in Christ (Romans 8:35-39).
    Faith and belief in this information from
    God’s word is the gospel.
    The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your
    heart. The gospel is not making him lord of
    your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not
    being baptized with water.
    So next time someone asks you if you are
    saved. Give them the clear assured answer
    Yes And let me tell you why
