I am Hisham from Gaza,🍉🇵🇸 Palestine. I am speaking to you with a sad😭 and heavy heart. My family consists of 6 members. My children are in the prime of their lives. They will not see anything of their person. I lost my home and my source of work. I lost everything I own. I lost my children’s oriental and summer clothes. I started in a tent a year ago and I have been living in it. My children are shivering in the cold. Please🙏 help me with your donations so that I can buy basic supplies for my children. Please🙏 share my story. Recognize my children as your children, and you have my deepest gratitude and gratitude🫂🌿

Friend, we have nothing but our faith and our prayers, but we will lift you up in prayer. Turn to Christ while you can. It's almost over....✝️❤️✝️

What is a prudent man? To be prudent means to proceed with caution and care, to wisely evaluate a situation before hastily acting on it. Solomon tells us a prudent man analyses everything he/she sees before acting. A wise and prudent man investigates things for truth before making a comment. A prudent person looks things over, realizing things are not as they often appear on the surface. Hearing both sides of a story before making a comment or seeking to validate a half truth requires wisdom. While this proverb was needed in the days of Solomon, it is just as important for today. With the increase of information flow, instant breaking news, internet stories, flash updates to the minute, people are quick to react to things without investigating them. While the primary content deals with bypassing evil, it is applicable to a lot of what we see in life. The old saying, if something seems too good to be true it probably is, carries a lot of truth. Learn to be as James says in James 1:19, “Be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger…”. Gullibility is a mark of the unlearned and unwise, hasty reactions, at first report, often lead to unwise decisions. Learn to be prudent in actions, evaluate carefully, and react with caution. Being prudent is very important when it comes to knowing people. The Bible does not tell us to look to the good side or to see the “good” in people. As a matter of fact it says the opposite when it comes to people. “Be as wise as a serpent but as gentle as a dove”, “be sober minded”, be “wise”, these warnings are all given, so we won’t simply “see the good” in people. Things are rarely as they appear to be and this is especially true with the deceptive nature of that which is evil.

“New Age Gospel:

An Appeal”

You know, the truth is, you can play the game all you want, second and third guess every single thing the Lord lays on your heart to do or to NOT do....

You can “think about it” and you can “pray on it” until the voice of God's Spirit begins to grow dim in the matter — until you have finally figured out how to rationalize away with seeming piety and good sense everything God has led your heart to do or to excuse what He has told you NOT to continue doing. But the only one you're fooling, dear neighbor, is you.

And why?!?

Because you're scared? Or lazy, or whatever your most recent excuse is? Because the TRUTH of the matter is: Most of us never actually have any real intentions of doing ANYthing that might be uncomfortable for us, for God or nobody else….

So we play the game.

But beware, friend.

You can out-guess the whisper of God's Spirit until He stops bothering to speak to you at all... and you'll never be part of His New Covenant as long as your heart is content with the long list of refusals you have issued the Holy Spirit over time without realizing this is how you lived your very life while you CLAIMED to know Him and to serve Him….

Nowhere is this more prevalent in a body of people who gather under the auspices of modern Christianity than in the popular teachings of the day of the general Assembly at large of the publicly visible Church.

This desperate appeal is specifically to those brothers and sisters, my PRECIOUS brothers and sisters, who have been wooed to sleep with made up doctrines and wild, fallacious practices that belong to the religion that gave birth to them: Northern European pagan witchcraft! YOU'VE BEEN DECEIVED, BELOVED!

Not only are your movements’ counterfeit gifts (and what serves them as their common

Doctrines and Theology) the all to very real equivalent of a fantasy role-playing game, all of those in the real world think they're ludicrous because THEY ARE; and they are ABSOLUTELY BLASPHEMOUS to the TRUE God of Scripture!

But to WORSEN your guilt, YOU HELP THE DEVIL make an absolute MOCKERY out of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His beloved Bride to THE WHOLE WORLD who hasn't fallen under the delusion that has drawn you in, and you WILL NOT BE found guiltless for that, neighbor. God HATES those who shame His Name, HE said that! And His anger burns HOT against those who stupidly see fit either to mislead, or take part in the misleading of, His little ones. Oooooh, you would rather go before Him on that day guilty of having ripped out a fistful of beard by the roots from our Lord Jesus’ precious face and driven all of the nails in yourself as to show up before Him guilty of having assisted in the propagation of a lying movement in His Name, having helped wolves in sheep's clothing spread the devil's gospel so that as many as possible can be deceived and included in his trophies in Hell.

How many TIMES must you SEE the doctrines you uphold FAIL you when you needed that "magic power" the most?!? And isn't it EXACTLY the true equivalent of what you say you believe? “Magic”?!? YOU just "claim it" and jack yourself up then emotionally high enough and call it “faith”, and even Almighty, Sovereign GOD has to do whatever your fallen whim has dreamed up this time?!? You might not LIKE how I stated that, but it's the truth, and you KNOW it. You KNOW it is!

You psych up enough “energy” and label it faith and manifest your desires, you just do it in the name of Jesus instead of the name of Isis or Osiris.

But it's the same heart.

The SAME religious philosophy, dear friend.

The exact same practice we find in WITCHCRAFT! In FACT, EXACTLY like the practices we find in witchcraft, that's where these spiritual beliefs were born, neighbor.

The paganization of Western Christianity that has happened in the last 70 years, beginning with America, is astounding!

Our pulpits have been hijacked by COWARDS who care more for the approval of man than they care about the approval of the God with whom they, too, shall have to do!

Man-pleasers who soften the message from the God Who wrote the Book they are SUPPOSED TO BE PREACHING!!!

But they are more intent on keeping those checks and money orders coming and those attendance records UP, boy, than they are about the integrity of the Scriptures and RIGHTLY dividing the Word Of Truth.

And as lazy and as slothful as we who claim to be sheep have become in this nation, we didn't just let the wolves in through the front door, oh no!!! That would have been too simple! They tickled our ears so good, we ran off God's shepherds and put the wolves in the pulpits!

And they have created, these last seventy years, what is a new thing on earth…then sold it to hundreds of millions of confessing believers in Christ that wouldn't know their toe hair from a biscuit about the God of the Bible. They've never met. They've never had genuine love for His Word, and they don't now. They just gravitate to whatever charlatan entertains their flesh the best and run with whatever the movement is pushing. Do you REALLY think that is a safe place to be when Christ comes for His own, neighbor?!?

REPENT!!! I tell you! REPENT!!! WHILE YOU STILL CAN! Before you find yourself standing before The King with your feet planted soundly for eternity with ALL OF THOSE Christ turns away for their apostate gospel beliefs and their fake religion with it's “lying signs and wonders”, it's 'miracles' nonsense!!!

(MATTHEW 7:21-23)!!!

TAKE HEED, Family, the warnings of the Lord HIMSELF- HE WARNED YOU of the very movement most of you have now attached your eternity to in His Word TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO!

You SAY you believe we are in the last days, you SAY that you believe Christ Jesus is Lord, but you wrap yourself in THE VERY END TIMES APOSTASY that His Word describes for you a half dozen places in the pages of the New Testament, from the book of Matthew to the book of Revelation.

AWAKE, O' YOU SLEEPERS, arise while it is still day, COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM while you still CAN, friend! Flee these things, Family.

Let those who have ears to hear, then, hear.

God bless you and your family today, friend. We Love you, Penny and I. That's the Truth.

[middlecross7]

In 1948, 69 percent of Americans identified as Protestant christians, 22% as catholic, and 4% as Jewish.

It's happening.

RIGHT NOW….

It's happening.

They're sitting on the education boards, on their political committees, on the floor of Congress, in the boardrooms of the elite….

Behind closed doors in every political Capitol in the world, Kings and Presidents and Czars and Queens….

They create laws and herd the sheeple through their manipulation of public opinion to specifically evict God from the planet He created, and scrape true believers in Christ who follow Him faithfully out of existence.

They've expelled God from our public schools, His Word is not welcome… but transvestites looking like something out of a circus-themed horror movie from the seventies

can sit your five year old on their lap while they read them softcore, erotic, “gender fluid “ stories.

…and if one of them influences your simple thinking little child, the state will — without your authority and against your will — butcher the child with knives and razors and lasers to imaginarily change their “gender”.

Because that's how insane we have become as a civilization.

That's how FAR we have moved away from God and Holiness, ALL THE WAY in the other direction, to chase after Self and darkness.

…just as in the days of Noah, modern society has gone over a cliff!

It saddens my old heart to see how the precious and tender grace of Almighty God has been pedalled like a cheap trinket in the popular doctrines of Western Churchianity.

How incredibly blasphemous that the deadliest idol of the age has been fashioned from cheap, twisted ideas of grace; and delusional, made up fantasies of our Great and Fierce God's mercy… delusions born in the minds of children of hell who have never met the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Empty clouds filled with vain janglings, seating themselves as Teachers when they yet need instruction themselves, they find no terror in the idea that they might deceive one of Abba Father's little ones….

And too many of you, my dear brothers and sisters in the Faith — if indeed you are truly my brother or sister, too many of you have already bought into the lies of this modern, apostate church age in more ways than you could at this moment even imagine.

I will, first, offer in our discussion a teaching about which I'm hopeful most of us already share the same conclusion:

SOLA GRATIA!!!

GRACE alone, by FAITH alone, in CHRIST alone, and ONLY in Christ, having placed NO CONFIDENCE in our flesh to either begin, uphold, or complete our salvation. We are saved by grace alone, through faith, and that is not of ourselves, it is the GIFT of God- our Faith.

We owe Him praise, the DEEPEST worship for allowing us the PRIVILEGE of believing in His Son, and granting us the Gift of Faith so that we COULD believe.

And if THIS is not the very root of whatever “gospel” you have chosen to hang your eternity upon, you are to this hour lost in your sin— and I don't care HOW MANY “sinner's prayers” you've said.

Any man who ever guaranteed you that you had genuinely been born again the moment you said some prayer is a fool, or a charlatan.

Search the Scriptures all you care to search, dear friends, and you will not find a single Biblical justification for the modern practice of “The Sinner’s Prayer” or the things that are commonly taught to those who repeat some form or another of it.

Dwight L. Moody began using this tactic as a means of tracking numbers at his gospel meetings. But he didn't preach the madness of that the vast majority of modern churches and denominations and their offspring today teach.

There are a few men of God still left, but they are growing more rare as the whole of western society enters into Judgement beneath Almighty God.

God is thinning out the herd. That's how it starts. The people of Israel didn't adopt the religious ideologies of their pagan neighbors overnight. It DID happen explosively over a few generations, however. And suddenly, the only nation on planet Earth to ACTUALLY be getting messages from the One True God, didn't hear a peep from the Lord for 400 years, until Christ was born to us.

The Lord sent faithful men who were called to preach the TRUTH!!!

And how did Israel respond to God's men?!?

“Tell us NO MORE of this God! But (preach) to us SMOOTH THINGS!”

….and 400 years after God had divorced them, they still didn't get it, they still believed God was well pleased with them and their religions. They still thought they were a favored nation.

And no preacher better tell them any different!

They'd ALREADY decided what they were going to believe. If you contradicted that, they didn't CARE if it was in their Bibles!

And when some poor, broken down preacher comes before you— doing nothing more than presenting to you GOD as God has PRESENTED HIMSELF in the Scriptures, how do YOU respond, spiritual Israel…?

You're running out of time, People.

“Awww!!!” most of you are already murmuring in your hearts, “I knew it! He's going to be over of those ‘hell fire and brimstone’ preachers!”

…or, to use the biblical equivalent, “I knew it! He's going to preach to us about THAT God! He's NOT going to preach to us SMOOTH THINGS!”

Because, TODAY, we have recreated God in our own image; made Him more palatable to our new age religious teachings we accuse the Bible of endorsing.

As a result, we have reimagined the Gospel of Jesus Christ from beginning to end. And seldom indeed do I encounter a soul today that wholly understands what the Bible teaches about salvation one way or the other.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

All of your life you have heard this text unpacked as if it spoke of people of the world, lost people. But I ask you, have not the lost people of the world ALWAYS been these things? What great end times sign to the Church would it be for lost people to just keep on acting like lost people?!?

No, friends! This text refers to the common state of what theologians call “the visible Church”, the public face of Christianity consisting of all those who claim to have faith in Christ Jesus.

Those who have, as chapter four tells us, gathered teachers together to tickle their itching ears. Those who have NO CARE for the preaching of THAT God - they want to feel good about themselves, they want their pastor to tell them SMOOTH THINGS.

BEWARE the spirit of this age, Family!

The very first time we find the words “New Covenant” in the Scripture, it is GOD HIMSELF Who is speaking to His prophet.

Turn with me in God's Word to:

JEREMIAH 31:31

✝️vss. 31&32

*Verse 33.

In this New Covenant which the Lord is unveiling, GOD SAYS that HE will:

Put My Law within them, write it on our very hearts.

Now, what does that MEAN?!?

Have we heard this information from anyone else in the Bible?

Yes, indeed, we have. You see, Jeremiah gave God's message to his fellow countrymen in the northern kingdom of Israel.

God's man in the southern kingdom of Judah, you may have heard talk of him somewhere, was a wild eyed fellow named Ezekiel.

Now, I want you to turn with me if you will to:

EZEKIEL 18:31

THIS is the Old Covenant message, friends. God instructs man to MAKE HIMSELF a new heart and a new spirit.

EZEKIEL 36:16-32

In the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 36, beginning in verse 16, we read as follows; (✝️*READ)

THIS, friends, is the very foundation of the New Covenant which GOD has made, though man has recently idolized himself and imagined different covenant reasons. But THE REASON we are even given the offer of any hope of taking part in the New Covenant promises

Is THE GLORY OF GOD and the integrity of His Great Name.

And what God has specifically stated that HE ALONE can and will do with those whom He calls to Himself is:

TAKE AWAY that heart of stone and PUT within them a heart of flesh.

PUT a new spirit within them.

PUT His Holy Spirit within them and CAUSE THEM to walk in His ways and BE CAREFUL to observe His ways, His statutes, and His Laws.

And before you set your heart against me because “you are not under law but under grace”, turn with me to:

✝️GENESIS 26:5

Born into a Kingdom that, like, any other Kingdom had LAWS.

Result: legal and formal charges against us.

No trial.

Already condemned.

ONE Hope! ONE legal propitiation!

Coming to Christ Jesus on any other grounds, for ANY other reason, will find you cast off in that desperate moment.

[middlecross7]

There comes a time when we all must make a choice: We are willing to do the hard work involved in correctly learning God's Word and therefore being qualified to rightly divide the Word of Truth… or we are not.

And I'm calling on you to decide today, NOW, which choice you are going to make concerning this.

“ I have hid Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11)

Q: WHY did David hide God's Word in his heart…?

A: To keep himself from freely sinning against God.

Honestly… and don't answer ME, answer yourself — honestly, how much time did you spend in God's Word today.

How much of your energy have you focused on truly preparing your heart and your soul and your mind to be in legitimate service to the one you CALL Lord?

How much time did you spend this morning preparing your heart to walk out into a godless world among godless people being held captive by the powers of Hell which are ALWAYS moving through their own to bring down the people of God?

And how many of those people did you spend TWO MINUTES with, trying to snatch them out of the fire…?

How busy are you really in being about your Father's business…?

A Scottish preacher headed for America once counted his meager savings after he had purchased his ticket on the ship, despairing about being able to eat on the long journey across the Atlantic and still have a little money left when he got to America to take care of himself.

Finally he decided on stocking up on crackers and cheese, figuring it was better than nothing and it was the only thing he could afford to leave him a few dollars in his pocket for his arrival in America.

It only took a couple of days of the ocean air for his crackers to grow soft with moisture and for his cheese to grow hard.

In a week he was pretty much eating dust.

And needless to say the nutritional value of his dust was almost non-existent. In a week the hunger was terrible and he was almost out of his rancid cheese and wet cracker crumbs. By the end of the second week he felt he was literally starving. It had been days since his food had run out and he was desperate for sustenance.

Despondently he counted his leftover money once more and decided that to stay healthy he had to have a meal whatever the cost. So he went to the dinner room and ordered a meal.

When he was done he walked up to a desk and asked the porter where he was to go to pay the bill for his meal.

The porter replied: Ohh, no sir, you don't owe anything. Three meals a day are included in your ship fare. And we provide dessert in the evening if you get hungry later at night.

Spiritually, you say you're starving.

Spiritually, you say you're weak.

You say you can't hear from God anymore. You're hungry for a word from Him. Your prayers feel empty and your walk feels purposeless.

Perhaps that's because you're living on the crumbs in your pocket instead of going to the feast which God has already prepared for you, in the place where God has already told you He would meet you.

The devil's not the problem — YOU are!

YOUR fallen flesh,

YOUR carnal nature that doesn't go away quietly because you now belong to Christ,

YOUR sinful heart that lies to you and tempts you to stray back into the world….

YOU are the problem.

And your spirit is strengthened against the world, against the enemy, and against your flesh by the washing of the water of the Word!!!

…you'll ‘Amen’ it, but do you LIVE it?

Are you taking all of this serious, are you LIVING as if your eternity is at stake here?!?

When someone points out that we are deadlocked in a war and there IS NO PEACE TIME from the cradle to the grave for us, you'll say Amen and you'll agree, but ARE YOU FIGHTING?!?

Or do you just lay yourself defenseless in the middle of the road in the path of the enemy and leave your existence up to chance and circumstance?

When you take on sniper fire, or suddenly you turn a corner and are engaged in a full on skirmish with the enemy through one or more of Hell's children, are you prepared for the battle?!?

And if your answer is “No”, then WHY NOT?!?

The Feast where you'll find ALL OF THE POWER YOU NEED to face every enemy is included in the price of your salvation!!!

COME TO THE TABLE!!!

You can't hear from the Lord anymore?

COME TO THE TABLE!!!

Your spirit is dry?

COME TO THE TABLE!!!

Your flesh is beating your spirit into the ground?

COME TO THE TABLE!!!

You know you're a believer, you have faith in Christ, but you're empty inside and you can't figure out what's going on?

COME TO THE TABLE!!!

(MUSIC)

Remember the story of the woman at the well? What you may not have thought about was that in the narrative we see Christ going out of his way, through a land whose people were despised by the religious Jews, and we read the story and focus on the revival that broke out in Samaria and often miss one of the most tender moments of the entire event. The fact that, before the foundation of the world, God chose His little girl whom he would meet that day at the well in the person of Christ Jesus to be the herald of a movement that would bring Salvation to an entire city.

While it is true that God forbids sisters to be in pastoral positions, it is not true that God does not call his daughters to evangelize the Lost. All of us, whether man or woman, young boy or young girl, fall into the crosshairs of the Great Commission.

And God will always, always, always bless our efforts when we get serious about the undertaking of the task of sharing the gospel with a lost and broken world.

But even now I am myself drawing attention away from the point I wanted to make. So allow me to reiterate that point. God did not stroll into Samaria and through Christ deliver the gospel message. God went to a well In the heat of the day where one of his unconverted daughters would be drawing water in the shame and the ostracization of her adultery. And yet she is the person He chose to reveal Himself to.

Not the fine, upstanding, moral and religious right, but the broken woman with the history of bad relationships, bad choices, poor judgment, riddled with sins and weaknesses. She was the one precious enough in his sight for him to schedule a personal appointment with her out of all of the people living in Samaria.

Never feel like you have sinned too much for you have gone too far and God doesn't want anything to do with people like you. The scriptures are replete with examples like this. Indeed, God says himself that he doesn't choose the righteous things in the great things of this world, but instead he chooses the base and the worthless things. Not base and worthless to him, but base and worthless as the world sees us. Because the world only sees how broken we are, they know nothing of The God who heals that brokenness. Their judgments are according to the prince of the power of the air that dominates their hearts and minds. And they're freely offered so that in our own hearts we become beaten down and lose hope. But those judgments are a lie. And there is always hope. His name is Jesus.

(Music)

(The Woman At The Well)

…Right now I stepped over to make something to drink and I'm listening to this song come, Jesus, come.

It's one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in 20 years and absolutely God glorifying and Christ honoring! But theologically it contains an error that is popular because of a messenger quotation of Old Testament biblical statement about God righting the wrongs done to Israel.

And there will be justice. Completely perfect, chair, and equal justice. But He's not going to righ5 every wrong. If he actually made every wrong right we would all go straight to hell!

The wrong many of us have done can never be truly made right. We're that guilty. And that he has Mercy on us, and yet he shows us Grace. Not justice.

Worship him with me tonight.

Amen.
