God is Not Who We Think He is.

Proverbs 20:24
A man's steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way?

God is not who we think He is. Many of us think that God is not here on this earth but He is. We can see this through our actions. Many of us think that God doesn't care for us, He does.We can observe this from how we push Him out from our lives in our daily living.  Many of us also think that we can live anyhow and He won't question, He will. Or else, why do we not fear Him? Many of us always think that we are right, and He is wrong. We can see this through the way we question Him daily. Many of us think that we can teach God what to do. We can see this through the way we treat our fellow men. Many of us think that we are above God. We can see this through the way we try to deceive one another. Is there such a sign as the one above, and yet we can give directions when we ourselves do not know where we are heading. In the way of life or destruction? A man's steps are directed by the LORD alone. Don't try to be too smart, when you are not. You will be making a fool of yourselves, like you always did.

One Crushing Blow Before The Great Fall.

Revelation 18:1-24
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.' Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. "When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!'  "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more-- cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;  cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men. "They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!' "Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin! Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.' " Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."

From the passage above you are able to see who the counterfeits are actually. They who still practice witchraft, sorcery, idolatry and false religion are the counterfeits. Using the name of Christ alone does not qualify you to be His child. You must live as He says and not associate with people who do these things. Anyone who practices greed or associates with such a person is a counterfeit of the faith. One who does not obey Christ, how can he or she claim to belong to Him? Your association is with men who practice sin, then how can you belong to Jesus Christ our LORD? If you do the same things that the world do, how can you be God's child in Christ? So, you are saying that God allows idolatry? No, way! He abhores all forms of idolatry. If you are associated with any form of idolatry, you are an abomination in the sight of God. If you are associated with greed for more money and boast about your money and the power you have through money, then you are truly a counterfeit of the faith. Your judgment will come from God. It will be a judgment where "She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her". Her judgment will not come from mere, sinful men like them but directly from the LORD. You cannot escape the first blow that will floor you soon. You can try to escape from men who think and do everything like you do, but you will not be able to escape from God. He will say, "I do not know you or where you come from".

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial ? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

He Will Pass Away Like A Wild Flower

James 1:9-10
The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower.

Never despise a brother in humble circumstances. You might have committed an eternal sin if you did so. We will explain this clearly to you later. For now, consider this if you are a brother in your own 'high' position that you have elevated yourself to be. Actually, in God's eyes you are in a low position. We are only discussing about a brother in the LORD, if you claim to be one.  If you are not, just forget about this. This message isn't for you. You will be judged differently later. Never despise a brother in humble circumstances because he is in his high position with God. Are you jealous of this? You ought to be! We would be surprised, if you are not. No one showed you this, right?

If you are rich with the wealth and possessions of this world, you are in  a low position with the LORD.  At anytime your heart becomes secretly filled with pride or it gives you security because you have all you need in this world and you lack nothing, you will be in the danger of passing away like a wild flower. Your security should be in the LORD not in your wealth and possessions.

Luke 12:13-21
Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."  Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?"  Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop.  He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." ' "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself ?' "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."

If you want God to just view you as a wild flower and pluck and destroy you anytime He wants, then go ahead be filled with pride towards your brother in humble circumstances. Go on and despise him!

You Will Be Hated

Matthew 24:9
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

You will be loved and accepted by them if you love their ways. If you don't, they will hate you because they hate the Lord Jesus Christ who is formed in you. They hate the divine nature of Christ and if you promote that they will hate you even more and not accept or include you in their company. They will only love and accept anyone who loves and practices the sinful nature of the Devil like they do. They will ostracise you when you speak against the sinful nature of the Devil which they love and cherish.It brings them profit in dollars and cents with toppings of fame and pride when they live according to the sinful nature of the Devil in them. What profit do they get by obeying Christ and everything He has commanded? They don't care actually. They ask if they will profit anything on this Earth by having the divine nature of Christ formed in them?

 Matthew 24:10
"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other"

When you "turn away from the faith" where do you go? You will go and join Judas Iscariot? Why Judas Iscariot, isn't he dead? Yes, you will join the dead and do the works of the dead, i.e. betray those who have the divine nature of Christ formed in them. They hate Christ our Lord, is as simple as that, because they love the sinful nature of the Devil instead. They will hate anyone who resists the sinful nature of the Devil in them. Its more pleasurable to live according to the desires and wants of the sinful nature of the Devil, they say in unison. You come against us, we will finish you off they threaten. They say this with courage because they have turned away from the faith and joined the world, in the company of thieves and robbers who love mocking our God and His Christ.

Perception or Deception?

2 Corinthians 4:2
Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Deception is used to distort the word of God. Deception is used when one has not renounced secret and shameful ways which comes from the sinful nature of the Devil. The word of God can only be explained clearly when one has Christformation in the born again spirit. As a result of obedience to all that Christ had commanded, the sinful mind will be transformed into the mind of Christ when the divine nature of Christ is formed in him or her. Plain truth can only be explained from a transformed mind in Christ. Plain truth cannot be explained from a sinful mind that is hostile to God. A hostile mind cannot and will not choose to please God.  To please God, we must have Christformation in us. We can never please God by obeying the sinful nature of the Devil.

We are placed on this earth to show forth God's power manifested through us and not our own power. God's power is demonstrated through God the Holy Spirit who dwells and fills our beings. God's power is shown when we are being made the temple of God's Spirit. In this temple of God's Spirit, Christformation occurs fully when we fully obey His leading and guidance towards it.

It is the greatest offence and sin in the sight of God to use the word of God with deception and distort it so as to cunningly  promote and give licence to the practice of the acts of the sinful nature of the Devil in you instead. For intance, if you use the word of God to cunningly promote idolatry, witchcraft and sorcery practices of any kind, a lifestyle of greed for more money, covetousness for more wealth and possessions of this Earth, adultery, fornication, sexual immorality of all kinds, evil pride, glorification of human wisdom, the seeking of self-glory, selfishness, factions, dissenssions, impurity, hatred, jealousy, evil envy, selfish ambition, drunkenness, orgies, stealing, robbery, swindling, cheating, lying, violence and hooliganism, evil provocations, bullying or gangsterism, impartiality, an arrogant lifestyle, introducing evil authority, false religion and many more as the verses below show, you will be guilty before God for deception and distortion of the word of God.

You know you have acted against the conscience of men but yet insist on practicing it for some personal reasons and not based on the fear of God or reverence for Him. Those who live like this, no matter who you are or claim to be on this Earth, you will never inherit the kingdom of God. That would mean, you have qualified yourself for eternal damnation in the sight of God. You can cheat simple minded men and women and get away with it, but you cannot cheat God, you will learn this later. He will put you in the place where you deserve to be forever.

Galatians 5: 19-21
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;  idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

No One Could Buy or Sell Unless He Had the Mark

Revelation 13:17
"so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name"

Brand name? Trade Mark? He has declared himself to be the controller of the world market. Does it ring a bell here? He controls who buys and sells what. He sets himself up to be more powerful than God. Can you see the traits of the beast? No one else makes the decision. He is the only one who makes the decision and everyone else must agree to his wishes. In short, He plays God.

If you don't follow his wishes, he will penalise you. He does not care about anything else. What God says or decrees does not matter to him. What will affect his buying and selling matters more to him than what God says. He makes himself as God for others.  His mind is on the things of this world which is money and fame. He shows off that he is a very capable and established man and no one can shake him from that position. He makes himself indispensable taking the place of God the Holy Spirit on Earth.  He does not care about what God has decreed and willed for all men.

For him, it is not God's will be done on earth, but the beast's will be done instead. He is worried about the name of the beast not the name of the LORD. He seeks glory for his own name.  He thinks that he is already established on earth and no one can remove him now. Thats the number of his name (like a bar-code), no one can erase it, it's fixed on the product. Does it ring a bell in your head here again?

He has made a name for himself that no one can challenge him anymore. But, he has just declared war with God, he does not know that. He directly challenged God and His will on earth. What never  had befallen him, will suddenly come on him. He will be caught by surpirise. In one ,single hour, all his boasting will come to a drastic end. His time will be up for him from God when that happens. He will not be able to escape it this time. He had on many occassions slipped past but not this time. Judging by his self-willed actions, he is guilty of an eternal sin because he gives no thought about what God wills, even though he knows it. He pretends not to know.

He is Guilty of An Eternal Sin

Mark 3:29
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."

You blaspheme against God the Holy Spirit when you stubbornly and rebelliously claim and manifest through your actions and words that you can work better than Him on this Earth. If you oppose any of His mighty works listed below , you have blasphemed Him. You will never be forgiven. You are guilty of an eternal sin.

John 16:8-11
When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:  in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

God the Holy Spirit convicts the world of the eternal dangers of obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in you while on Earth. He convicts you of the need for the formation of the divine nature of Christ in you. I can't imagine the judgment of God on the person who opposes this. It will be the same judgment the Devil had received and that is, eternal condemnation. You have also blasphemed Him when you stubbornly and rebelliously claim and manifest through your actions and words that you are more powerful than Him on Earth now.

Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

No one is more powerful than Him on Earth now. He is the power of the living God on Earth. He is the power of Christ in us. His power in and around us cannot be matched to anyone on Earth. If you have claimed and acted to show that you are more powerful than Him on earth, you have blasphemed. He demonstrates the power of God by forming the divine nature of Christ in us whenever we obey what Christ had commanded us. You have also blasphemed Him when you stubbornly and rebelliously, through your words and actions, promote the sinful nature of the Devil in you to be more pleasurable to obey than God the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. Read the passage below.

Galatians 5:16-26
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. he acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

"Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other" let me repeat it here. Think, meditate and obey what is being said here, unless you are already condemned like the Devil  and found to be guilty of an eternal sin. You had preferred to promote obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in you rather than obey God the Holy Spirit who helps with Christformation in us. He is our Helper whom God had sent for full Christformation in us.

He Will Consider Himself Superior

Daniel 8:25
He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

How will this lawless One prosper? He will cause deceit to prosper and this way he will make himself superior. He will seek personal security first to take a stand against Christ, God's appointed Prince of princes. But, he will be destroyed but not by human power but the power of God. Anything that exalts itself above God, as though mankind will not exist without him or her wil be destroyed by the power of God in the end. He is one who does not give the glory to God but seeks it for himself. Watch him closely and you will be able to see this. Watch all his ways. Watch his words to whom it is directed.This has been going on for a long time now.

He Will Exalt and Magnify Himself

Daniel 11: 36
"The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place

The coming of the lawless one will be a time filled with untold deception. Many will take him to be someone who knows much about God, but he doesn't. If he did, he will not do the things he does without any fear of God.Watch his words that come from his mouth. They will be words spoken out of his arrogance but his words will be as smooth as butter as though he is helping everyone with his words. In actual fact, he isn't helping anyone. He is bent on helping himself to a very selfish life. Watch his ways closely and you will be able to see that. He is centred on self.

2 Thessalonians2: 3-12
Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for [that day will not come] until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 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. Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 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. 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. 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, 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.  For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Fully Trained To Be Like My Teacher

Luke 6:40
A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher

                                                           MY TESTIMONY

Yes, I am fully trained by my personal teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ. He still teaches me through God the Holy Spirit who lives in me, eveyday and every moment of my life. He has helped me in everyway to be like my teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ. I am like my Teacher now. He taught me how to overcome the sinful nature of the Devil in me and be filled with His divine nature instead. He is still filling me with more of His divine nature. He wants me to glorify God with my life of obedience to Him, just like how He obeyed the heavenly Father when He was on Earth. He still obeys the heavenly Father in heaven now. He is the best example of obedience to the heavenly Father. Now, I do the same as my Teacher did, while He was on Earth. What a perfect example of obedience!

Hebrews 5:8-10
Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek

Now I have a high priest in the order of Melchizedek who has no beginning no end. He is not a high priest in the order of Aaron. Thats why I belong to Him because He is the eternal One who was raised from the dead and lives to make intercession for those who call upon Him with sincere hearts. He never fails me.

My Grace is Sufficient For You

2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

We are not sustained by the power of mere men or a mere organization, but we are kept by the power of God through His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Like apostle Paul, we will gladly boast about our weaknesses. What are these weaknesses? The sufferings we go through just to overcome the sinful nature of  the Devil in us. We will suffer much to overcome and put to death all its misdeeds in us. We will suffer much to resist sin even to point of death to all its misdeeds in us. "God's grace is sufficient for you" here does not mean that you live a life obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in you and still God gives you grace. It means that you suffer so much in your body just to put to death the misdeeds of the sinful nature of the Devil in you, and yet God's grace through Christ's power carries you though triumphantly till the end.

Apostle Paul, had the 'messenger of satan' sitting in his body to hinder him from doing God's work but God carries him through victoriously. The Devil was trying to prove to Paul that on this earth, he is still the 'prince of the air' but Paul through the power of Christ showed that he only belonged to the Prince of  Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ. He went ahead and planted churches for God's glory with Christ's power. He went ahead and wrote under the anointing of God's Spirit, the fourteen books of the New Testament. He went ahead and showed forth the power of God through the calling and apostleship he was given by Christ Himself. He showed how he did his ministry with the testimony that Christ's power rested on him fully and that he did not do the ministry by his own strength or strength of an organization. He didn't mind the 'attack' on his body by the Devil. He trusted in the power of God through Christ. God's power through Christ is made perfect in the weaknesses in our body. We need the power of Christ to fill us to do Christ's work on earth. If we don't have that, we cannot do anything for Christ and our God. Apostle Paul victoriously testified to this till the end.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
