Have you ever thought to yourself? Has God given me over to strong spirit of delusion?

Have you ever thought to yourself? Has God given me over to strong spirit of delusion?

If you look into the Word you will see that this spirit is sent to those who are perishing and it surrounds the son of perdition (Antichrist) or the Lawless one..

Maybe you have never heard of that before. First of all the Websters Dictionary describes Delusion as the act of deluding : the state of being deluded
a : something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated
b : a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary; also : the abnormal state marked by such beliefs.

Now the Word of God says in 2 Thessalonians
The Man of Lawlessness

1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for [that day will not come] until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessnessa is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

If you are perishing (Getting ready to go to hell for eternity) Then you have hated the truth (The Word of God or Christ (The Word of God was manifested and became flesh (John 1:14)) So in other words you hate Christ and God will send a spirit of delusion for you

Remember this spirit of delusion was offered up to those regarding the son of perdition. If you think you should support a man who is in any way opposite of the WORD of God, God may have already sent that spirit to you.. Pray and always be open to repentance and the TRUTh. Ask God to show you His truth today to avoid being struck with the SPIRIT OF DELUSION.. It could send you straight to hell...
Look UP!! God is LOVE~

Have you ever been wrongly accused

Have you been wrongly accused? This is the day the Lord has made! January 1, 2013

Today God was my son's judge, his witness and his vindicator. Praise Jesus Messiah Christ!!

But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed.
You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you.
These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord;
Their vindication will come from me.
I, the Lord, have spoken! Isaiah 54:17 (NLT)

Another one is James 3:8-11 which says, “But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way. Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?”
In Revelation 12:10, Satan is referred to as an ‘accuser of the brethren’; thus, the spirit of accusation comes from the enemy.
Their vindication will come from Me.
The Dictionary says, (1) to set free : deliver; (2) avenge; (3) a : to free from allegation or blame b (1) : confirm, substantiate (2) : to provide justification or defense for : justify c : to protect from attack or encroachment : defend; (4) to maintain a right to.
Psalms 135:14 says, “For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.” If you are His servant, then this is part of your inheritance. Remember this and wait on the Lord!

I, the Lord, have spoken!

Is there anything that needs to be said? In Isaiah 55:8-11, the Lord says,

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”
God is Love!

If I do not know God, I live afraid! Trusting God!

 If I know God then I will Trust God. 

If I do not know God, I live afraid!

How can I be afraid when the God who created the Universe has a plan for me? Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

If I know that all things are from God, then why would I fear, why be afraid? Why would I be concerned about my life or the lives of those I love? If everything must pass through Gods hands first, what is there to fear? Apparently I do not know my God. Yes that sounds harsh, but if I knew Him I would trust Him. 

One fact stated over and over in the Word of God is that God Loves Me! If this, being a fact, and constantly reiterated to me over and over in Gods word, then I must conclude that if He allows me to be afflicted, blessed, lost or broken then He also has a greater plan to use those things for His Glory. 

"Everything is not about you!" my friend declared. The lord whispered, "All these things you see in your life are not about you my child. They are to bring me Glory and Honor." I began to hear Him speak. "Thank me, Thank me, Thank me" For Pain, suffering and brokenness Lord? "Yes" He simply stated, and then silence. 

As I sat with the silence for a long time this overwhelming urge to be with my Lord came over me. I wondered how I would feel if I did not know Him. If I had not found Him! If He had not found me first! The silence would rule my life! There would never be the love of my savior wrapped around me like a warm blanket on a cold morning. His love covers me, His love saved me! All these other things belong to Him and that's where I will lay them. At His feet.

More than wanting to be comfortable in life, I want to know the love of my Jesus. I sing about Him all the time. When affliction hits, do I trust Him to bring me through? Sometimes! Sometimes not! Sometimes I crawl up in a ball and act like a baby. It's ok though. God knows me and loves me even when I act like an infant. 

I want to trust Him all the time. He loves me. I need to get to know Him, and then I will trust Him. 

I think of people like Job and Naomi in the bible. They knew who their God was. They were righteous and yet they were afflicted. Naomi so much believed that God was bitter towards her that she went as far as to change her name to Mara "Bitter". Unbelievable. It is so interesting how in both of these people's lives they lost people and things that they loved. Yet because of their continual faithfulness to God He restored it back unto them. What an amazing and beautiful thing. Knowing that God will allow these things to happen in my life in order to refine and secure my heart unto Him so that He can restore whats been lost back unto me. 

Be inspired today to "Thank Him"

Mold in those secret places

Mold in those secret places

Today I randomly decided to clean my refrigerator. Generally I keep my fridge clean. Although on rare occasions I begin to ponder on how it is getting too cluttered. On a seconds notice, I find myself completely stripping out the chaos so that I can reorganize. I look for foods that may have expired or are right around the corner from that. 

As Josh and I began to excitedly rip apart the freezer and fridge, we came across an unexpected surprise. An old container of mascarpone cheese. I slowly lifted the lid back to find what looked like dark green worms. I quickly shut it and gasped. Joshua said, “mom, what is it?” Nothing, Joshua. I beg you not to look. Spare yourself the horror, I said. As I laughed out loud.. He, replied with a smile and said, “no way, I’m looking.” Alright, I warned you. He repeated the frightening ritual of opening slowly, the unknown. As the loudest shriek came from him, I began to laugh hysterically. Bend over, holding my tummy, I cried, “I told you so. “Ewww”, he yelled. I know right! Gross, yuck, disgusting. We both ran to get our cameras so that we could grab a snapshot of this amazing discovery. This was the beginning of me contemplating what had just happened and how it so related to what God has been imparting to my heart over the past couple of years. 

You see, from the outside my fridge looked clean, at times even downright sparkly. I, nor my son would have ever expected to find such horror, buried inside a contained that looked so perfectly clean and new on the outside. I was not aware of what was going on inside that little container. I believe that, had I not looked, I would of left that disgusting mold alone until it grew legs and crawled out of the refrigerator. 

Up until now this was pretty funny, until I looked at it with my spiritual eyes and made the comparison of that horrible, disgusting mold to my horrible disgusting heart. The Holy Spirit has been constantly leading me back to the Truth that says, Mark 10:18 and Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Paul repeatedly spoke of his weakness and replies, speaking as a Christian, says, "I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." Romans 7:18. 

I remember when I began to learn these principles. I would think to myself. Well hey, I follow the laws of government and I pretty much follow the 10 commandments to the point of being a goody two shoes. I am nice to others, I do nice things and am polite. Ooo man was I deceived. Romans 3:23 says, “All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God” We were born into sin. You do not have to teach a young child to be naughty. You need to teach him the ways of God, but never to be naughty. We do that from birth on. 

How often we forget that in Samuel it says, “The Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Most assuredly most of us will find a relationship with Christ and begin to work on the outside. Our works and our acts. We continue, in most instances, way before we come close to dealing with our hearts. You see most of us still believe that if the outside looks good, clean and shiny there must be no problem whatsoever on the inside. Until the day you are willing to allow God to break your heart for Him. The day that and you know that the motives and desires of your heart must be submitted to your Holy God, will you ever begin to come into true genuine fellowship with the real God, creator of the universe. The God that sacrificed His beloved,His only son for your wicked heart. For my wicked heart. 

Most times it is so much easier to submit in those outward appearances than to let the Lord dig up all those evil motives of the heart. That hatred towards your neighbor. The envy and lust in your heart. The selfish ambition you hold so deep inside that you have no clue it exists. 

For so long I saw myself on the outside. I knew that it was the other people, the circumstances of life that caused me to remain in a wounded place. Until I was willing to lift the lid off and let God show me the evil mold spores that lurked in the dark, I remained wounded. There is nothing easy about letting the God show us our dirty, disgusting hearts but when He does there is nothing like it. He can begin to heal and restore the real you back to Him. Not the the imitation, fake, put on a happy face you. The real you,  back to that sacred place where He dwells. David said, Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. ... Psalm 139:23. What a beautiful heart towards God, David displayed.

When I finally found that cheese, it took mere seconds for me to throw it out. Why? Repenting with a sincere heart towards God takes mere seconds. In John 1:9 it says “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” 

Today I am happy I decided to clean my yucky dirty refrigerator. You see, although it looks just fine by a quick glance. Once I tore it apart is when I discovered what was truly lurking there.
