Nothing to Lose in Our Battle with the World

Christians have been deceived and intimidated by the world and false brethren, who attempt to shame or manipulate them into thinking they're being judgmental or legalistic when following Christ according to how the Bible reveals Him and His commands.

The truth is the world won't stop harassing and attacking you until you're willing to lose everything, because they instinctively know what we're fighting for, and attempt to even use reaching out to people for Christ or willingness to spend time with us as tools of evil to get us to accept their sinful lives and false doctrines. These types of people have one goal: to silence us so there are no voices to oppose them.

This is an extension of Satan's attempt to be as God. He expresses that through his human representatives. Understand that the world and false believers won't be satisfied until they beat us down until we collapse under the weight of their assault. The only response is to completely reject their evil and manipulation, and accept nothing less than the purpose and person hood of Jesus Christ being expressed into this world.

It doesn't matter whether or not they allow us to be part of their lives or part of a ministry. This is also a deception. So-called ministry for many Christians has become an idol, and in order to attract people will cave in to evil in order to give the impression they have a "ministry." It's not a ministry, it's just gathering people based upon their whims and wishes, and making it appear it's something God is going.

Forsake the temptation to cave in, and stand firm in the faith and wait patiently on God, asking Him to show you what it is He wants to do in and through you. Anything else will be burned up when you face God Almighty, with only you being saved.

Fantasy and Science Fiction Lend Themselves Well to Christian Stories

Being a writer for many years, and making my living at it, I've done a lot of research and observation in the area of fantasy and science fiction, and find that they may be the two best fiction genres for Christians to write in, as they offer all sorts of potential to express heavenly concepts and beings in story form.

Another reason is these genres, along with most others, have been invested with evil, and you can barely read the trash and garbage from minds that are reprobate and full of deviant imaginations. So Christians need to apply themselves as writers to all categories, but again, I think fantasy and sci. fi. are ripe for the pickings, and we should aggressively pursue these areas to assault.

If you're not interested in long-form novels, start with short stories, or even very short stories to begin with. Put things down in bullet form first as to your interests, and do the same when you develop a story in your head; that helps to write quickly and efficiently The point is we shouldn't abandon these areas of literature that are made for the mysteries of God, and point to combat with God's enemies and heroes of the faith that can emerge, even if it's presented in subtle form.

Even if the idea is just to create something wholesome and of beauty without specific references to God, it would go a long way to combating the dark, cynical and evil worlds and stories the world has been pouring into fantasy and science fiction.

The Christian Resistance is Just Beginning

source: http://www.theswordbearer.org

At times because the enemies of Jesus Christ control media, education, and in general, the power of government, it can appear that Christianity on the earth is doomed, as Jesus Christ seems to have been swept aside by the representatives of Satan, who know how to make a lot of noise and use the political process to stifle the purposes of God in Jesus Christ, and by extension, are hidden within His people by the new birth and the new creation, which resides in us.

What our enemies attempt to do is shout us down whenever we rise up to expose their evil, which to the uninitiated seems to be a victory on their part simply because they make a lot noise, and seem to have the controls and levers to do whatever they want. We're going to find out in the days, months and years ahead that they never had control, and they have been allowed to be in power by Jesus Christ only for the purpose of them exposing their agenda and their hatred of the only God.

Now that that has happened, there is no more reason for them to be allowed to be in power, and we're going to see Jesus Christ rise up in His people and send the evil back into the darkness where they belong, and bring forth the children of light to let the whole world know who He is.

The Scriptures confirm this when it says in Hebrews 8:11, "for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest." And in Habakkuk 2:14 it says, "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."

There is a day coming when all God's people will know Him, and when all of who He is will fill the earth. After all, the glory of God is nothing less than the magnificence of who He is, and the promise is that the day will come when who He is will fill the earth. The mechanism to do so is a people displaying the invisible characteristics of God in a visible manner. That will ultimately be the light that overcomes darkness on the earth.

Jesus already has one the war on the cross, we are now partaking in that victory by mopping up the aftermath of His total victory.

What we must learn to do first is not to look at the outward things around us, or their unreality will appear to be what is truth, and if we believe the visible display of evil around us, we'll fall into despair and be defeated before we engage the enemy.

The trick of evil is to convince believers in Jesus Christ that he is the power of this earth in order to keep us from moving against them. If we look at how evil controls almost everything in regard to institutionally (including many so-called churches), it can make one believe there is no hope.

But there is great hope. The Holy Spirit will not rest until He secures a people that are conformed to the very person of Jesus Christ (his characteristics, not His divinity).

What we need to do in this war, is to pray and believe we're in it as conquerors already. The strategy is to do what we see Jesus Christ doing, by expressing His characteristics in all that we do around us, no matter how hard evil screams at us to stop.

It's far past time to engage in civil disobedience if we must, and be once again willing to pay any price in order that Jesus Christ is seen as the King of kings and Lord of lords that He is.

Satan may be god of this world system, but he's not god of this earth. Psalm 24:1 says, "The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." When Satan is called the god of this world, it's only a reference to him and his evil permeating those who refuse to be obedient to and follow Jesus Christ. It's his darkness expressed in a representative people that is what is called the 'world,' and Jesus Christ could never be over that abomination. That is all that Satan is over. The rest is the Lord's.

The key is to ignore the noise and not take our eyes off of what it is God would have us do. That will eventually be a candle lit for all to see, and when there are enough candle's lit, together they will light up the world. At that time it will be filled with the Lord through His people. That is the promise, and that will happen.

Don't give up and don't give in to evil. We will win, even if it costs us everything. If we die to ourselves, we will find the threat and potential impact of evil is nullified, and we can fight the battle in our lifetime, as we gradually build out the kingdom of God on this earth.

Never surrender and never retreat. Never apologize for representing who Jesus Christ is in whatever you do.

Gay/Pedophile Ex-USC Professor Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Minors in Philippines

Homosexual/Pedophile Walter Lee Williams of USC

In an outrageous decision, federal prosecutors have allowed a homosexual/pedophile who sexually assaulted minors to numerous times to plea to a deal where he won't spend over five years in prison for his despicable crimes.

Walter Lee Williams, 65, who was a former professor at USC, admitted he flew to the Philippines many times and assaulted boys who were underage.

This pathetic excuse for a human being, who will face justice when He faces the King of the universe, Jesus Christ, was an evil man teaching anti-Christian gender and sexuality studies at USC.

The homosexual pedophile used his research credentials to lie about his purpose in going to the region, which was allegedly to study sexuality in that part of the world. That should have been an easily recognizable behavior, which is a buzzword for engaging in deviant and illegal activities.

Receiving donated evil materials from the so-called professor from USC was the "ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives." They should be thoroughly investigated to see what their part in all of this may have been.

Since an attorney from USC provided the materials to the FBI, it's unclear what part ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives played in this.

Either way, Williams should have been locked up for life for the sexual abuse of these young boys. Hopefully he'll get some prison justice for his horrid abuse of them.

The New Creation and Creating Our Own World

I've been thinking on the new creation for the last several years, and the more I think about it, the more I realize and see that the idea over the last 50 to 60 years about changing the world are inaccurate; from the point of view of the Bible.

To this day all we here about it seems from many Christians is we must change the world in order to make it a better place. That's an idea that will never work.

The reason why is Jesus Christ never came to change the world, because the world had already forever been put under judgement, and is to this day.

When Jesus died for our sins, He didn't do it for the purpose of having us continue to be part of the dead, old creation, He did it because He was doing a totally, completely new thing, which is identified as the new creation.

Even the word translated in the Holy Scriptures as church needs to be thought of differently, because it basically means being called out, which points to leaving the old creation for the new.

Jesus said in John 15:19, "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."

What Jesus has amazingly done and which few understand, is He isn't trying to save the world, in the sense of working on it to make it better, it can't be done. It's cursed and dead. Instead He has birthed an entire new creation in the midst of the fallen and cursed world, which is so different than the old creation that it stands as a light calling those still in the old dark creation out of it to the new.

This amazing new creation is the very life of Christ Himself. Now many at this time will probably question the creation part because Jesus Christ has no beginning and no end, and has always been. So from that point of view He could never be created. And you're right ... if you're thinking in terms of the old, physical creation.

But the new creation isn't a created creation, but it is a birthed creation. The new creation is one that has been given birth by the very life of Jesus Christ Himself within a people. It is Christ in you.

So back to the idea of improving the world. I hope you see it's impossible and not part of the plan of God at all. His plan is for an entirely different life to be released in the earth through a people He has called out of it.

Now that will definitely make the earth a better place, but it has nothing to do with adding something onto the world in a way that can make it better. This is why the Scriptures teach if you love the world you're an enemy of God.

James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."

This is one reason why those who pursue and seek for God with a pure heart never feel part of this world and its evil.

John added, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15

The reason for all of this is God has an entirely new creation He as birthed, and it is in His Son. All who have truly been born again from above have had this new creation come down out of heaven in the person of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, and are no longer of this world. The two are entirely opposite of one another, and are in fact enemies of one another. There is absolutely no connecting point between them.

So what God has done is completely gotten rid of the old creation and replaced it with the new creation of His son. Old things have passed away, all things have now become new.

What that means for the followers of Jesus Christ is we have not only been born of God and are now His children, but an entire new creation is dwelling in us, and as we learn its principles, we don't attempt to add something on top of a world that is no longer considered even alive by God, but instead create our own world, or more properly, recreate under the leading of guiding of the Holy Spirit, from the many-sided wisdom of God that is revealed in Jesus Christ.

This is some of what was meant when Jesus Christ said as part of His response to His disciples when they asked Him how to pray, that we should ask that His kingdom should come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

We want that heavenly kingdom to come to earth and permeate it with the fullness of Jesus Christ. That can only be done in a people that have a new creation in them, and who learn how to express that kingdom into the physical universe. It begins with changing within, but then working its way out for all to see.

Those who see this will encounter a major paradigm shift, as they realize this world can't be improved and is dead in the eyes of God. What He has done is far greater than that. He has brought about an entire new creation by birthing His Son in those who put their faith in Him.

Now this will result in salt and light existing in the physical creation and world system, but it will be something totally other than it, as Jesus Christ is completely and totally opposite of what this world is and represents.

Excavation Starts at Ken Ham's Kentucky Noah's Ark Project

With permits in place and other necessary elements in place, excavation on the long-promised Kentucky Noah's ark project is now under way. It is scheduled to be opened sometime in 2016. The location of the project is in Grant County in Northern Kentucky.

Ken Ham, most recently noted for his debate with Bill Nye the 'alleged' Science Guy, is heading up the project. Ham leads the ministry Answers in Genesis.

The ark itself will be built in exact proportion to the ark as it is described in the Bible. It will be 510 feet long, surrounded by a variety of other attractions of interest to families, including a petting zoo. Overall the project will entail about 200 acres.



Since the announcement the ark was going to be built in 2010, the project timeline fell behind donations, which resulted in delays.

Millions of feet of lumber will be needed to complete the overall project.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved of a stormwater permit in July, clearing the way for construction to begin.

Also part of the ministry is the Creation Museum that was built near to Cincinnati, and has attracted over 1 million visitors since opening in 2007.

Loyalty to the Kingdom of God and Jesus First

One of the failures of natural Israel almost from its inception has been the misunderstanding it was meant to be a light to the nations; meaning it was to not only embrace and represent who God was to one another, but to spread that across the world.

That failure was primarily the result of it time after time failing to meet the standards of God, which ended up with Israel taking on the nature of other nations, rather than being a peculiar people as they were meant to be, by showing forth the glory of God.

Now the followers of Jesus Christ are meant to take on that responsibility, by first, walking as Jesus walked, and from that total separation from the ways of the world, becoming a light to the nations in the name of Jesus Christ. That's one of the reasons believers in Christ were called Israel in the Scriptures, as the purpose of God for the natural Jews had now passed on to all of those that call upon the name of the Lord and obey Him.

That brings of the question of who we primarily owe our allegiance to. As true followers of Jesus Christ, our allegiance is and also should be first to the kingdom of God and He who heads it up. That means whatever nation on earth we may reside in only gets our loyalty secondarily; and that only in a small proportion in comparison to God's kingdom.

That doesn't suggest we become traitors or enemy combatants on behalf of one nation against another, but that the overriding nation we serve is a heavenly one, and one of our reasons for existence is to take the will of God and do it, and from there work and pray to see that and the kingdom of God increasingly be done and to come on earth.

For that reason I believe it's a mistake to think of any nation as a so-called Christian nation. While it can be true that Christianity and Christ were a part of the influence on a nation, and thus had some of the characteristics of Christ as part of the culture of that nation, the fickle nature of man, as seen in the growing decadence in the United States, reveals we can't simply call a nation a Christian nation, when what it once embraced and acknowledged is rejected for an opposing world view and ideology. America is no longer a Christian nation, and neither are many nations that once at minimum, revered Christ at least outwardly.

No matter what country any of us live in, we need to pray and work towards the kingdom of God to permeate those living in the country, as the kingdom of God is expected to fill the earth, meaning the person of Christ as revealed in the Bible will fill everything with who He is. That's what it means when we are told that God will be all in all. It's also a reference to being conformed to His image.

We are to be like Him; totally loyal to who He is. We are to learn what He want and then obey in it. Once we mature, we then share who He is with others, and also call upon those around us to obey Him.

Ultimately we not only will increase the kingdom of God in individuals, but start to work locally on transforming the many areas of life into what He wants. That includes individuals, families, education, government, the arts, and business, along with any other area of life that needs to submit unto the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

While we can appreciate the city or country we live in, that is nothing compared to the heavenly kingdom of God that we are to pray to come and fill the earth. Eventually all nations that respond to this will receive the multiple blessings of God He promises. Those that reject Him will be found to be fighting against the God of heaven and earth.

Our ultimate loyalty is to Jesus Christ and His kingdom. Everything else should be an extension of that kingdom in order to make where we live like what heaven is like. That is what Jesus had in mind when He taught us to pray for His kingdom to come and will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Book of Daniel and Breaking Kingdoms in Pieces

Daniel 2:40-45 (KJV)

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all
things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.




There are few things, if any, related to the history of human events and how God views them, than this portion of Scripture, and the verses immediately preceding them. It clearly states not only the period of time when the promised Messiah would appear, but what His appearance meant to the nations.

Some think this is only a reference to what Jesus Christ would do to the Roman Empire over time once He appeared, but my thesis is not only is this a reference to Rome, but to all of those nations or groups of nations that attempt to become world empires. Once Jesus Christ revealed Himself as man, that would no longer be allowed. History itself bears this out, as empire after empire rises and falls, while the eternal Kingdom of God continues to rule from heaven.

All of the second chapter of Daniel needs to be read to get the full gist of what is being revealed, but these scriptures above are enough to reveal the idea.

In verse 44, the issue doesn't only refer to the four kingdoms listed up to Rome, and then the kingdom of God is finished doing its work once Rome was allegedly conquered by Christianity. Rather, it's a reference to the purpose of God for all of history concerning the nations, that they shouldn't rise up in a manner that attempts to control and dominate the world. This is a Satanic aspiration; one that has no place in the hearts and minds of men, even though the temptation by the evil one is ever there for man to grab hold of if he wishes.

The implications of this are enormous. God, once His son, who is the only true King of kings and Lord of lords, ushered in the germination of the kingdom of God on earth, He no longer allows nations the luxury or goal of attempting to dominate the earth as some nations leading up to Rome had done before the appearance of Jesus.

From that moment on the earth was required to operate under the rule of the kingdom of Heaven, meaning the heavenly nature of Jesus Christ was to be embraced and permeate the people, which in turn would rule from a heavenly perspective; or based upon the very person and will of Jesus Christ, who was an exact representation of His Father.

What that means is there should be a total freedom where people are allowed to choose their own destinies, as far as nations go, and there should be all sorts of nations being born and dying throughout history. Now that has happened, although primarily from wars. I'm talking about voluntary creation of nations here, not nation building as the U.S. has partaken of.

There is nothing better I would like to see, as far as the U.S. goes, than to see it break up into all sorts of smaller nations. The idea of America is now over, whether people realize it or not, as what it was once in the past is no longer in existence; although there are pockets of it in certain regions of the country.

Now I'm only using America as an example here. I believe that should be the case for any region of the world that wants to take on nationhood.

I know that some people that equate America with Christianity will almost consider this heresy, but the fact is the Holy Scriptures clearly state the kingdom of God will smash those attempting to build empires on the earth. His is the only kingdom, and all nations, no matter how many there are, are required to submit unto the principles of His kingdom.

Jesus, as far as ruling and reigning on the earth goes, is primarily interested in cities or localities. You can see this in the way the church grew after Pentecost.

To give you an idea of how Christ has no interest in a world kingdom or center on earth, look how it wasn't a problem for Him to destroy Jerusalem, which was considered by the Jews and many others as the center or religion in the world. Even though the church was flourishing there, eventually it was driven out not long before the destruction of Jerusalem, and believers spread all over the world from that time on.

The point is, Jesus was ruling from Heaven, and while always building on the earth, has no interest in building Tower of Babel, which He of course ended by confusing the languages,  resulting in the many races now seen on the earth.

Interestingly, as I write in 2014, there has been a growing discontent with the idea of empire, whether world or regional, and a number of secessionist movements are underway. If it's time for the breaking up of more countries and alliances with the goal of dominating the world, it couldn't happen soon enough. I'm not saying the time is here, but the idea has taken root, and I believe ultimately that idea has come from Jesus Christ Himself.

What is at issue isn't necessarily the geographic area under governance. For example, Mongolia is huge geographically, but has very few people in it. No matter what its size, it simply doesn't have the capacity to do much world governing, although on a smaller scale, its government is overreaching with the Oyu Tolgoi mine, which it has an ownership in. That is a not towards the inner evil in man to always use the government to control resources and the idea of a free market.

When the Scriptures above refer to breaking these empires to pieces, it's not necessarily a reference to total destruction, but to the influence of the kingdom of God in generating the desire within the hearts of man for self-rule under the principles of almighty God. Breaking them to pieces, I'm sure, is a reference to decentralization of power, and the goal of Jesus Christ to have people focus on local rule.

Obviously there are all sorts of things to work out with that. There has to be enough resources or industry for a small nation or city-state to generate productivity to the point of being self-sufficient. There is also the interesting probability of a wide range of trading partners specializing in specific goods or services to help the small nations to survive and thrive. That's of course the practical side. When man obeys God, He will bless in a way that He'll give us the wisdom to figure all of these challenges out.

This is an extremely brief introduction to my thought on this. If you were to read the second chapter of Daniel in light of these thoughts, you'll find the implications so staggering, that you'll either block it out of your mind, or enter a spiritual and intellectual pursuit that could easily take up several human life spans, as the kingdom of God and Jesus Christ works to permeate the world will all that He is. That's what the end result of the eternal purpose is, that we should be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, that God may be all in all.

That will be worked out practically on this earth, although never perfectly.

For now, I believe we need to pray that God will continue to work to fracture and decentralize the governments of the world and the nations, so we can get a better chance at freedom and working at local levels in a way that reflects the kingdom of Jesus Christ, which is being worked out perfectly in heaven. We are called to pray that the same perfect kingdom and will of God is expressed in the earth.

Jesus' New World Order

We hear a lot about the new world order attempted to be implemented by some people holding positions of
power or with a lot of money, and it's true that there are those trying to order world events according to their will, quietly influencing and manipulating the unsuspecting through media, education, and faux news stories; spun to coincide with their world view.

What we don't hear anything about is about Jesus Christ and His new world order, which quietly and invisibly appeared after He ascended to heaven. By quietly, I don't mean there wasn't some noise on Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came to dwell within those who believe in Jesus Christ, rather I mean that other than that relatively small and obscure group of people, it was not known what had happened and its powerful meaning.

Jesus Christ has come back to the earth in the person of the Holy Spirit, and put into action His plan from before the foundation of the world: that He would dwell not only with man, but in man. That was one of the great mysteries hidden from the foundation of the world.

Even though we see and understand some of what these people of money and power are doing to shape the world they want to see emerge, there is always a powerful move of the Spirit happening within people that allow them to not only resist this movement, but overcome it through Christ.

Most Christians don't understand that the coming of the Holy Spirit was the introduction of Christ's new world order, identified in the Bible as the new creation. What was different about the physical and initial creation is the new creation was birthed directly from God, and if fact, was God within us through Christ. That's what truly being born again signifies. It's an entire new world introduced that Satan and his earthly followers have attempted to hide, obscure and overwhelm through the loudness of various media outlets and education in order to keep people from quieting down and seeing the beauty of this new creation that broke into this world over 2,000 years ago.

The significance is Jesus Christ isn't sitting idly by in heaven doing nothing, but rather throughout the entire world has counterattacked and is slowly teaching His people how to combat the evil that has invaded God's earth, and repel it and eventually make it weak in the face of the person of Jesus Christ in His people.

Jesus' new creation has already overcome the attempt to destroy His earth, and as we move into His victory, will find ourselves not only rejecting despair, but growing in love, wisdom, and authority, which will ultimately lead to the amazing end result of God being all in all.

We will be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, and that won't stay only within, but will flow out like a river of water to touch all the earth. That's our calling and destiny in this life, and I'm one that is going to take it as far as I can while I live.

Jesus Christ: If You Love Me, You Will Keep My Commandments

It is far past time we reject this idea that loving God has little to do with obeying what He has revealed to us in His word. Jesus Himself said this: "If you love me, keep my commandments."

There is nothing confusing or ambiguous about this. Love, as far as it relates to Jesus Christ, is determined by our level of obedience to Him. It's that simple. What must be obeyed is revealed in the Scriptures.

Living for Christ isn't difficult to understand. It's summarized like this: What does the Bible say, and what are we going to do about it? Those who don't want to obey are those who create an image of Christ they want to serve; one that has little to do with the real Christ our Lord.

Where do nice feelings come in? They don't. That doesn't mean we won't have an affection for the Lord out of appreciation for what He's done for us. But that doesn't determine whether or not we love Him, or define love as explained specifically by Him.

I'm also not talking about how we are to relate to one another. I'm talking specifically about what loving God means. It's no more or less than obedience to His word.

Now the question we all have to ask is, what are we going to do about it.
