"He that hath an ear let Him hear"
In Genesis Chapter 3, the serpent ask Eve...........
"hath God said.........?"
and every since then that question has been ringing out to all, and corrupting all that have been born of a woman, excluding Jesus. The corruption of the true seed by the serpent started in the garden with the serpent seducing Eve, impregnating her with seed of doubt which is the opposite of Faith, which without you can't please God. Any farm raised person can tell you about hybrid seed... how that it can never carry on life......you can make it look better but it can't reproduce itself.......a mule, bastard born with crossbreeding cannot breed itself back again.....no life in it....... you breed a horse with a donkey and you get a mule....it's hybrid, it can't breed itself back again....it's the end of the line, death can't reproduce life (only Jesus can resurrect)........
The Word of God is life and it will reproduce life.....Jesus said "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matt. 24:35.
How do you answer................."hath God said.........?"
do you answer yes, it is an Act of God?........................
When all the disasters comes upon the earth, do you say....just as is in the days of Noah so shall it be? .......................and the flood came................people wake up the flood is here.........the crimes, the violence, the evil has flooded every area of the earth...... including the Churches of Man......"so shall it be as in the days of Noah".
Whenever sin fills the cup, God breaks His silence.........
Matt. 24:4 Take heed that no man deceive you. Vs.12 And because iniquity shall abound the love of many shall wax cold. Vs.13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.Vs. 14 And this Gospel of The Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Vs. 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world, no, nor ever shall be. Vs. 22 And except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved: but for the elects sakes those days shall be shortened. Vs. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; Vs.30; And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Vs. 31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
"He that hath an ear let Him hear"
Lawlessness is happening everywhere, starting with the Law Givers. Laws does not make people good...A person who is an alien of this Nation does not become a citizen because of obeying the laws.
The devil has counterfeited the gospel and people are believing it by the millions....broad is the way and many will follow it to destruction.
God hold's a person responsible for the truth (light) that they have received, not for what you have no knowledge of. James the brother of the Lord said "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is a sin. James 4:17. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those that do evil" 1 Pet.3:12.
Satan's perversion of the gospel has been the Quote, Quote plan of salvation....his deception is leading many to a false knowledge of what they know and are being held accountable for....not knowing that the deception is a blinding of the truth that they have heard. (Eve had heard the truth but was deceived and believed a lie unto damnation)
salvation by either obedience or mental assent.....
Look what the devil did to blind the Pharisees..........he led them to believe they were righteous because of their obedience to the law.... you see asking a person what he believes is not enough, Jesus said ".....on the outside you appear to people as being righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." Matt. 7-17.
There are many who are trying to "work" their way to heaven but, are blinded and continued to say "I'm saved"........mental assent..... even being baptized in water and trying to police the people of the world in to their blind state of total confusion........Jesus told the Pharisees "because you give God a tenth of you mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the Love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone......you are experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help." Luke 11:42-46 and He said "They worship me in vain; their teaching are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men. Mark 7:7.
The devil then goes to the other side and tell then that the law is of non effect that we are now under grace and the laws are not for today and that all we have to do is say that "Jesus is Lord" and claim that we Love everybody. Then we say that we believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died on the cross and because of this historical fact we believe that we have professed our way in to eternal salvation. "You believe that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:19.
You see the the two equally deadly doctrine advocated here by the mass majority...........
Satans lies, deceptions being preached, taught and lived out under the guise of Christianity but is no more than a religious order that will fall in line with the New World Order that will bring on the man of perdition who will deceive and rule over their religious system and proclaim himself to be God and will institute Laws of Worship to God but is no more than a deceptive religious order from the pits of hell.
We see the one group the "Working out salvation" ......saying it is by faith and of the strictest of obedience to the law. They are careful to live lives without sins of commission but forget about the sins of omissions.
Matthew 23: 1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, {phylacteries: pieces of parchment containing sentences of the law} 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 24 [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Matthew 24: 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Now on the other side of the aisle we have the.....
"Just believe.....ers"
James 2: 8 If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: 14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. {alone: by itself} 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. {without: some copies read, by} 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? {Seest...: or, Thou seest} 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Do you now see how that million and millions on each side of the aisle are fooling themselves by the methods of salvations they have been taught to obey?
consider this:
"He that hath an ear let Him hear" what the Spirit is saying "Man doth not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceedth out of the mouth of the Father."
You see it is He that hath heard what the Father is saying what His Will is.....and by faith daily being obedience to that Word....that is the Will of God. Jesus said"....Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind; this is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it; "Love your neighbor as yourself." "Whoever has my commandments and obeys them, he is the one who loves me He who loves me will be loved by my Father and I too will love him and show myself to him...if anyone loves me he will obey my teachings John14:14. "....every good tree bears good fruit, a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. Matt. 7:17.
So you see the inconsistency with what people say and believe and think and act upon about salvation...now think again about :
Act of God????........can it be so? "hath God said........?"
Are we also inconsistent with our understanding of what we believe about end-time prophecies.....have we misunderstood, listen to the traditions of man, or chosen to believe a lie and be damned about the the Great Tribulation and the timing of this event and what our individual part is to be?
Is your belief scripturally or mentally founded? Do you Believe that God is only a God of Love and not a God of wrath and Judgment?
"I the Lord have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will not have pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the sovereign Lord: Ezk. 24:14
"See the Lord is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin it's face and scatter it's inhabitants....the earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered. The Lord has spoken this word...the earth is defiled by it's people; they have disobeyed the laws violated the statues and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; it's people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left. Isa 24:1
Act of God????.....Can It Be So? "hath God said........?"
And God say's "I have done nothing without cause" Ezk. 14:23. ....."now all has been heard: here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Eccl. 12:13-14......" ..you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when His righteous judgment will be revealed. God will give to each person according to what he has done. But for those who are self seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil there will be wrath and anger" Rom. 2:5-8......"Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming" Col 3:5......"fill up then the measure of the sin of your forefathers! you snakes! you brood of vipers! How will you escaped being condemned to hell?" Matt23:32
Act of God????.....can it be So? " hath God said........?"
Will asteroids slam in to the earth destroying lives of many? ...will famines continue to starve to death millions? Will earthquakes continue to come in increasing intensity and numbers? Will Tornadoes and other violence come ? Will the fires continues to burn the earth? Will crime and violence continues to happen with increase daily?
Is it as in the days of Noah?
Has the flood begun? Is the Word of God true, today?
Act of God????......can it be so? "hath God said........?"
Can anyone deny that the cup of iniquity is full?
Has the count down begun?....do you truly believe that this is the generation that will see the Son of Man coming as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.....will you agree with what the Word of God says about those days or will you agree with what man says "that all things remain the same" or who cares "I'm going in the rapture" Are you sure? Can you can back it up with scriptures?....God says only the overcomers......only the just shall live by faith....only the holy will see God....."When people are saying, "peace and safety; destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman and they will not escape." 1 Thess. 5:3.
Has the devil done just as equal job of deceiving about the time of the so-called "rapture" as he has about salvation and especially those who are deceived in to the "once saved" lie of the father of lies.....the only scripture that is mention that could even relate to a rapture (pre-tribulation) is the one that is overwhelmingly supported by the "raptured-out bunch" is 1 Thess. 4:16-17...."For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall arise first; Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.".........and look again at 1 Cor. 15:51-52; "Behold I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but We shall be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and We shall be changed.....and now look at:
Matt.24:31; And He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. So let "He that hath an ear let Him hear" what The Word of God is saying........And He sware by Him who lives for ever and ever.....that there should be time no longer; But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the prophets. Rev. 10:6-7. ....time no longer.....But, what about the tribulation? It's happening ... The Act of God is happening with the sounds of trumpets one thru six.......The Last trump (trumpet) is then according to The Word a very important sound for the believers, the overcomers....The Last trumpet is not blown until Rev.11:15; And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. Is this not the Word of God?
Act of God???...Can it Be So? "hath God said....?"
Your eternity depends upon what God hath said..............
not what you have always heard......
"He that hath an ear let Him hear"
A word from the publisher....
Great calamities have already started on the face of the whole earth ........earthquakes in divers places, famines, wars and rumors or wars, sin in the highest offices of the land, corruption of all governments, economic chaos, perilous times, storms and tornadoes. After a major event (something so gigantic that effects the lives of many) .......people will see God in a different light and they will realize that it is the wrath of God (example San Francisco earthquake) on ungodly people and remember that God has said that it rains on the just and the unjust, but remember that He said "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." Would it not make sense to listen to the warning from God in His Word instead of listening to the doctrines, traditions of men. "Judgement begins at the house of the Lord".....and remember when great economic famine is throughout the land and inorder to buy food and do business you must trust God or become part of a system for recognition purposes (subtle way of receiving the mark of the beast).... when you see a child of yours or you yourself are starving and you are offered food if you take the mark of the beast....when all electrical power of the earth is in shambles and our great system no longer works.... where will you heart be? one of those that says; I AM a survivor, that's life, "you got to do what you got to do", I've got to hold my job, I'll join your union, take your mark, or will you say with Job "Though He slay me, yet I will hope in Him?"...................and "yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil."
"hath God said......?"
