Scripture: Isaiah 42 v 6, 7, 16: "I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things I will do unto them and not forsake them."
When Jesus called me to follow Him nearly 50 years ago, He wanted me to see the big picture. It was evident that He would not allow me to be influenced by any particular spiritual leaning. I had to discard everything I had learned and start over.
Researching the Bible with it's Author is an experience of a lifetime. Learning to love what He loved and reject what He rejected was very instructive. Removing barriers caused by the doctrines of man needed much strength, but eventually the truth emerged from the debris. The difficulty comes in trying to impart truth to those who are sold out to diluted gospel teachings, false doctrines and carnal churches.
The Holy Spirit's purpose is to open the blind eyes, not the physical sense but the spiritual one. He wants the prisoners of error to come out of darkness into His light and walk in newness of Life. Examine what you believe against the actual Bible texts and get rid of traditions handed down for centuries that contradict the pure Word of God.
Infant baptism or Christening is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. It does not exist! But those who were baptised as babies, without a say in it, often reject being baptised in water after they are born again, not realising that a vital component of their salvation is now missing.
This is spiritual blindness on the part of those churches which continue this false tradition, and on those who follow the traditions without checking their Bibles for the right way instituted by Jesus Himself. If the blind follow the blind they both end up in a ditch.
Being baptised is a decision only you can make for yourself. Mark 16 v 16 says, he that believes and is baptised will be saved. This is the truth. After you have heard the gospel, believed in Jesus, confessed your sins, been forgiven and cleansed by His Blood, then you get baptised. If you feel that you have a good case for not obeying this scripture, don't wait to discuss it with Jesus after you have passed on. Just saying.
There are those churches that insist that the Church is the New Jerusalem and we are adopted Jews and must follow the Law, keep the Sabbath, and all Jewish feasts to please our Lord. Nothing could be further from the truth! I do believe in keeping the Passover Seder as that was the Last Supper and Holy Communion began there. The New Covenant began at the Last Supper instituted by Jesus.
That same night Judas betrayed Jesus and He was arrested, tried, sentenced to death at high speed. The next day He was crucified taking the sins of mankind on Himself. He cried out , It is finished! He meant the time of the Law. Grace through God's forgiveness was the replacement.
These are just two things but can you see how many millions of people have been deceived for an untold number of centuries! They were faithful churchgoers but that is not a passport to Heaven. The enemy smirks with delight at how many souls were so easily duped.
There are many other errors that have been written about on this blog. Rather do your own research. You need to know what the Bible says about everything, and be ready to repent i.e. change your mind. Get that spiritual blindfold off your eyes and bless the Lord with your obedience.
It is time to get the whole church in order before it is too late. I left the church I was in and spent three years on my knees, like Apostle Paul in the desert, learning the truth from the Lord. It makes me peculiar because some people think I am strange, believe differently to them, so I must be in the wrong.
Acts 15 v 4 - 6: " And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter."
Acts 15 v 18 - 20: "Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood."
So the "law" became, no idolatry, no sexual sin, animals must have throats cut and blood drained from them. Definitely not going back to the law of Moses.
In Corinth, after Paul had established a church there where all the gifts were in operation, he had to write to them to instruct them in the proper use of tongues and prophecy. They were so super spiritual that they spoke in tongues all the time. There was nothing in their normal language! They became spiritually blind to the purpose of this gift of the Holy Spirit. They needed to be corrected.
The church today needs this too. To be corrected - because of the hundreds of false teachings that are causing people lots of problems. Think of the teaching that is still in widespread use although its completely false. People have been taught that they have thousands of angels at their disposal to send on errands. This started in 1980!
They send these angels to find parking, bring people to meetings, bring in finances, stop wars, stop corruption in government. The list is endless. The trouble is that we have zero authority over God's Heavenly Host, so only the Devil's angels can respond to the commands.
Fallen angels of very high power take Christian's commands and do the opposite! Finances dry up, wars get worse and worse, corruption is way out of human control! Intercessors who know this is wrong, dangerous, evil, pray daily to try to contain the damage. They sent false angels to stop the pandemic! Talk about a super spreader! Then there are Intercessors who use false angels of light in spiritual battles. Spiritual Blindness at its worst.
I can never join in when large groups gather to pray. My time is spent cutting off and binding these bad angels and sending them back to Hell. Many people in those groups have no idea of the harm they do.
Some years ago I got an e-mail from Apostle Daniel of Jerusalem saying he had been instructed by the Holy Spirit to unleash millions of warring angels to be sent to South Africa to bring about peace and stability. Unfortunately, that was the very week that horrific Xenophobia broke out in this country and it is still a huge problem here. I wrote to him and asked him to call back these false angels and cancel that assignment that caused mayhem. He never responded.
No doubt that Christians around the world have sent out angels to stop illegal immigrants from entering their countries! It's become a huge problem now and finally citizens are waking up to the reality that they are paying taxes to give these illegals accommodation in hotels, a free cell phone and money to live on. Many of these illegals are militant terrorists building cells to cause mayhem. Many are rapists or groomers of young children.
Psalm 127 v 1: "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."
There is only one sure protection and that is submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ over your home, street, city or nation. So secure your family by reaching out to all your neighbours and making a commitment to the Lord. Many countries are doing this like the Jesus marches in New Zealand declaring that their nation belongs to Jesus. Australia, Britain, Denmark are also making a stand against false religions that bring death to their cities.
Ezekiel 33 v 5 - 7: "He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me."
The Lord called me to be an Intercessor, a Watchman, over the Body of Christ, in 1979. It means being obedient to the truth and exposing error that leads to false salvation or eternal death. Every blog I write is dedicated to this task. It's not to make me look good, which it never has, but to bring knowledge of the truth to anyone who has been deceived. This is blog number 2892 that started 13 years ago. It will continue till the Rapture.
We all need to be in unity, going together in one direction, to eradicate the false from the truth. We all need to do our part in passing on information to pastors, teachers, other Christians and encouraging them to spread the word. We must contain the things that are contaminating the Gospel of Jesus, accelerating apostasy and heresy, undermining the foundations of the Church.
Through keeping traditions of men rather than pure truth of God's Word the churches have become lukewarm. Salvation has lost its meaning and entertainment is Satan's substitute. There is no spiritual power in entertainment to threaten Satan, only the Blood of Jesus, and our faith in the Blood, that has any effect on him. He runs, flees, in panic.
Revelation 12 v 9 - 11: "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
Are you ready to remove the blindfold over your eyes and take up the spiritual weapons needed to destroys Satan's strongholds? Be bold, be strong for the Lord thy God is with you.
Jeremiah 1 v 10: "See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Jesus wondered if He would find faith on Earth when He returns, because it needs truth and righteousness too. Lord help us to follow Jeremiah to root out and destroy the false, misleading teachings and to restore absolute truth in our churches. Only when we walk in Your truth can we secure our nations against satanic invasion.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
