“Even so, come, Lord Jesus”

#4 Your Perspective, God’s Perspective?

Series on the End Times, The Revelation & Christ’s Return

Can you know the hour when Christ returns? I am sure you can if you are doing His will! Revelation offers that assurance to His Church but there are conditions to knowledge and protection. John wrote those conditions in Revelation and if you do not have the attributes God requires then you will not know the hour, day or season.

In America we have many prophetic voices telling us what is about to happen. I am not a prophet and prophets are to judge prophets, Paul says in the Epistles. Paul gave us teaching for prophetic voices to judge each other and keep things orderly, truthful, and inline with Scriptures. When this does not happen, as is the case in present America, we will not know what is correct or in error, a truth or a lie.

Furthermore, the church can never know the truth if the church is not keeping the requirements set down by John in Revelation. The prophetic words will never be correct—they will always be ‘false prophecies’. If the church in America is not keeping God’s commandments as stated in Revelation chapters 2 & 3 then God will not be speaking to us (His Church) for we will be unable to hear—it is just that simple! Obey God and then God will help you—that is the basic rule of Revelation. ‘Obedience’ is what you have to be doing for God to keep you during tribulation, from temptation in the last days, and knowing the Hour of his coming (note: one hour could be as a thousand hours to God—just like a day).

Let’s review what I wrote in #3 The Message to the Churchregarding Revelation:

1. You must have your first love; if not then you must repent, and do your first works vs. 2:4-5.

2. You must not fear persecution nor be unfaithful unto death vs. 2: 10.

3. You must not obey the doctrines of Balaam or Nicolaitanes or allow Jezebel to teach you anything vs. 2: 14-15.

4. Do not commit fornication by allowing and justifying sexual life styles to be part of your belief/acceptance values system (allowing it is the same as doing it according to Revelation) vs. 2:20.

5. You must watch and pray—being worried and concerned is not watching, and praying ought to be prayers of repentance for yourself and others vs. 3:3.

6. You need to identify those who say they are Christians but are not. There are so many people in America that say ‘I am a Christian’ but they have no works or fruit that affirms who they say they are vs. 3:9.

7. You need to be cold or hot—where is your passion for Christ? vs. 3:15.

8. You cannot allow anything to be your idol, i.e., to allow a person, group, organization, government, philosophy, or anything else make your decisions or be dependent on these things to survive. We look to our government to do too much for us—there are idols everywhere in America and the ‘American Dollar’ drives most of our idols.

If you are part of any of the warnings Christ has given to the church then God is only removing your candlestick—He is not helping you nor will He be speaking to you. As long as the Church in America abides in its sin, does not repent and change its ways, there will be no true prophetic words. You will never know the hour, be kept in the ‘time of temptation’, nor free from tribulation. In short, you will never know or understand Revelation. You must listen to Revelation (that is what the Bible says), you must repent and change your ways, you cannot be looking to anything or depending on anything but Christ (no idols), and you cannot accept anything that is not sexually pure and according to Scripture.

Remember to God, there is no middle ground in the last days! This is the time of repentance, this is the time for change, this is the time for keeping God’s commandments—let’s get ready by getting our lives righteous before Him. To hear His voice knocking at our door is the first step in walking perfect before Him!

“Even so, come, Lord Jesus”

#3 The Message to the Church

Series on the End Times, The Revelation & Christ’s Return

OK, Christ is coming back with rewards and judgment, but does that pertain to my family, my church, and me? Jesus says in chapters two and three of Revelation that He is not pleased with what church members are doing. Here is what he says:

1. “You have left your first love; repent, and do your first works” vs. 2:4-5.

2. “Fear nothing you will suffer; be faithful unto death” vs. 2: 10.

3. “You hold the doctrine of Balaam”, you cause others to stumble, “eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication”, and “hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes” vs. 2: 14-15.

4. ‘You allow the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed unto idols” vs. 2:20.

5. “If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee” vs. 3:3.

6. “I will make those the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews and are not but do lie” vs. 3:9.

7. “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot” vs. 3:15.

None of the churches are in ‘perfect standing’ with Christ. He either gives warnings to continue or issues judgments that are quite severe. None of the Christians are free from some kind of rebuke or admonition. All of us I am sure can identify with one or more of the seven churches Christ mentions. We are in trouble!

Here are Christ’s warnings: repent—change your ways; repent—do it quickly; and repent—or I will reject you and rule over you with a rod of iron that will crush you. There is more, here are His judgments: I will remove your candlestick; I will fight against you; I will cast you into great tribulation; I will kill your children; I will come to you as a thief—you will not know the hour of my coming & I will blot your name out of the Book of Life; if you do not have patience, I will not keep you from the hour of temptation; and lastly, if you do not get rid of your shame, your nakedness, your blindness, and your lack of riches, you will not get to sit with Christ in heaven.

Now is the time for faith that comes with works—we must keep the commandments of Christ and perform the testimony of Christ. There is little time for mercy in Revelation but instead a time of judgment with dire consequences.

The problem, Jesus says for our time as stated in Revelation, is that we have one foot in the world and one foot in heaven. We want to be part of both kingdoms—the earthly and the heavenly. Jesus says ‘you are either all in or all out’. He makes it clear that we have to choose, we have to perform, we have to be willing to reject everything the world stands for or He will reject us. There is no middle ground!

“Even so, come, Lord Jesus”

#2 ‘Who is this Jesus?’

Series on the End Times, The Revelation & Christ’s Return

If you think you know Jesus you might want to consider reading The Revelation before making a final decision. The Jesus of the Gospels is quite different than the Jesus John saw in Revelation.

John did not recognize Jesus even though we know he was the closest of all the disciples to Christ. In fact, he was afraid of Him once he saw Him, “I fell at His feet as dead.” How can one who walked with Jesus, ministered the Gospel of Christ for years and yet when he sees Him face to face in heaven did not recognize Him? Is this the Jesus that is “the same yesterday, today, and forever?" John, and now us, because we have Revelation can know the complete, total, and detailed person of Christ—‘the forever Christ;’ “the Revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Here are some comments John wrote about Jesus Christ of The Revelation:

o Christ comes back in clouds and everyone shall see Him and ‘wail’ because of Him. He rides a white horse and comes quickly!

o Christ is dressed with a golden belt, with white complexion and white hair, eyes as of fire, feet as brass, voice as loud as a waterfall, a sword in His mouth, and His countenance as bright as the sun.

o Christ comes with rewards and ultimatums for the church and is knocking at the door.

o Christ is the only one who is able to open the Book of Life.

o Christ comes with wrath/anger—“the wrath of the Lamb and who will be able to stand?”

o Christ comes as a thief—He comes as a surprise to those unprepared.

o Christ is the light alone for the new city Jerusalem.

o Christ is the beginning and the end, morning star, offspring of David and ‘His reward is with Him’. (This is a short list.)

When I was a new Christian, I wondered why Christ did not read the final phase in Isaiah 61:1&2, “and the day of vengeance of our God.” He quoted all the attributes Isaiah said about Him but left this portion of the verse out. I understand today that Christ came to fulfill on earth everything except this last phrase "until God, His Father, makes His enemies, His footstool” the Bible says. Christ came with forgiveness 2000 years ago but comes with wrath and judgment when He comes again.

My question to you is, if you are expecting mercy on the day of Christ return have you done everything He commands in Revelation? Today is the day for forgiveness but tomorrow the ‘Christ of forever’ comes with only rewards and judgment.

“Even so, come, Lord Jesus”

#1‘Get Ready’

Series on the End Times, The Revelation & Christ’s Return

Remember the song, ‘Get Ready’ by Rare Earth? Rare Earth was the only white group on the Motown Album (a black recording company during the sixties). I saw this group live in Fresno when I got back from Australia—after doing graduate work at a seminary in Adelaide. The lead singer was also the drummer and impressive at both singing and playing.

Anyhow, getting ready for events in one’s life can be significant and life changing. Take for instance getting married, having your first child, that new job or promotion, or dying. Yes, dying! It is hard to die to self for Christ to live within you, but that is what Jesus said, “A man (or any person) must be born again.” We must die and be born once again, not as a human but spiritually—it is a process. We are asked to take a journey through this life to die in order to be born, changed, and to rise with Christ at His return. Are you ready? Better, get ready!

Revelation is about getting ready, it is about meeting Christ face to face; it is coming to grips with what you have done or not done—Revelation says, Get Ready!

You cannot understand your part in Christ’s Return unless you have been listening to Revelation being read to you—I hope you have been listening to it. This is critical and your first step in getting ready.

Now begins the series of articles on the End Times, The Revelation, and Christ’s Return. Beginning tomorrow and for the next few days, my hope it to prepare you for Christ’s Return. Being in the End Times will not be easy nor is it meant to be. Jesus is returning and it is a Jesus that you could not have experienced if you walked with Him 2,000 years ago.

Hang-on, buckle-up and get-ready. I hope you will be able to say, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” at the end of this series.

It Ain’t All Work

A Labor Day Special

Pleasure n: A source of enjoyment, gratification or satisfaction; delight. (to have fun, joy & associated with sharing, self-realization and high mindedness).

Labor n: Physical or mental exertion of a practical nature, as distinguished from exertion for the sake of amusement; work or specific task. (associated with childbirth or working for wages).

On Labor Day we take a break from working. Instead we look for having fun—a barbeque with family and friends, a trip to the beach, or simply a ‘do nothing day’. Some people work on their Labor Day—trying to get those chores done we have put off for the past few weeks. Say it not so, Tim! We need pleasure in our lives!

For example, let’s say that you married for work alone. You are not planning to have fun, joy or pleasure with your spouse. You are planning for work, work, and more work! I doubt if you would have said, “Yes.” But and I am sure you did, you want to keep that joy and fun throughout your marriage. No fun, no marriage—right!

Too often we only associate serving God as a task or labor. Where is the joy or pleasure in being a child of God? I do not think we plan ‘fun or joy’ in our relationship with Christ enough—we never have a Spiritual Labor Day.

Here are some helpful tips on your Spiritual Labor Days (they ought to be many and planned):

Ø Read the Bible for pleasure not just for learning.

Ø Find a few songs that you just like to sing—put them on your electronic devices and sing-a-long for pleasure not for seeking God.

Ø Tell Jesus what you like about Him (just like you would your spouse) and offer him a spiritual kiss of appreciation (just like you would your spouse).

Ø Smile when you pray (talk to God); realize He is smiling at you also.

Ø Just tell God what you are thinking of doing or wanting to do (just like you do with your spouse) by putting excitement in your voice.

Ø Have anticipation of God arriving along your daily walk with Him (I look forward to seeing my wife when we have something planned). God always has something planned for you each day—He will show up.

Ø Remember when you take pleasure in ‘doing good’ to others, you are doing good to God—enjoy your non-labor.

If my thesis is not convincing enough, try explaining why God rested on the seventh day after all His labor—I wonder what kind of fun He did?

Challenging God, Any Takers?

Character of the Month Series

I like a challenge now and then, and God does too. God can do anything, so are there really challenges for Him? God wants us to challenge Him, “Ask of me if I would not pour out a blessing on you that you cannot contain.”

Jesus before He died asked God three times to do things another way—He said it is too hard to die the way God had planned for Him. Nevertheless, Jesus said, “Not my will but yours be done.” Not everything you ask of God will He do—does it fit into His will for your life?

Job is a great story about challenging God. Job was perfect God said, but Satan said that Job would give up everything in order to save his life and what he owns. God took the challenge and Job, well, he was caught in the middle.

Job lost everything of monetary value, his family, and his health. What else would one be willing to sell his soul for? He was broken, alone (his friends were of no help), and without assistance, he began to hate God.

Job told God repeatedly that, “I did nothing wrong! Why did you let this happen to me?” You know what God’s response was, “Who made you my counselor? Can you do anything like I can do? Stand up like a man and answer me—answer my questions,” God demanded!

Job chose not to debate with God after God came to him and challenged him ‘face to face’. God wanted Job to understand the fear of the Lord, to be humble and repentant even though Job did not deserve what had taken place. God basically said, “I know best.”

What a story! A story of brokenness, making wrongs right, finding out what is truly important—finding the fear of the Lord. Wow!

You want God to listen to you? You want your prayers to be answered? You want to always find the will of God for your life? It is only found in the ‘fear of the Lord’. Whatever God decides to do (no matter what it looks like or how hard it is) it is always right and just—this is the fear of the Lord.

Show me a person of great character, and I will show you someone who says, “Whatever you want to do God—it is OK and righteous—I am not your counselor.”

I fear the Lord in all things, through all things, for Your Glory alone!

August 2015 Grandpa’s Wisdomby Steve the son of John

Doing Harm to Our Kids

Too often we sincerely believe that we should be making things easier for our kids. We want them to have more opportunities than we had, an easier time in growing up, have things we did not have, and not to experience as much hardship.

I see this often in parents and I did this myself. However, I hear from parents of my generation that when we did this, things did not workout well for our kids. I indeed see the harm in ‘giving rather than living’.

If there is anything a parent should always be doing is creating experiences for their children. Taking them places, helping them to discover for themselves, creating opportunities for them to learn and grow, keeping them safe but able to see the harm in certain actions—not making it easier for them but allowing them richer experiences.

When we want them to have it easier—to give too much to them, to allow things to be given to them without earning them or having to work for them, character is never developed. Our children do not need ‘easier’ they need character. The only caution I would offer parents that if your child tried but failed miserably; if your son or daughter did not reach their goal do not allow them to be broken to the point of injuring their self-esteem. Now is the time to jump in and be there—it is important for character to be built, not destroyed person.

So next time you decide to make it easier for your kid, stop and think, “Will this create character and strength to make it on his or her own or determination to go the extra mile?” If not then don’t do it! Allow you kids to do things the hard way, to earn what they want, to find themselves by striving not receiving. It’s the loving-parenting thing to do.

Thinking, Feeling & Under Pressure

Part #3: It’s Significant

I do not know about you but I sometimes get my thinking all messed up. I do not realize it at first but what I am thinking will not work. I pride myself on being able to think things through but like so many of us what we are thinking just is not reality.

Not only do I have to check my thinking but also what I feel about things. Just because I have a good or bad feeling about something does not mean it is so. Being under pressure to perform can add to my wrongful thinking or feeling—it is best to learn how to handle pressure, thoughts and feelings. I have some suggestions for all of us.

1. If you think something is going to work or is correct, try first to think of other options, other scenarios. You might even ask for opinions about what you are thinking—get multiple responses to your thoughtful idea.

2. One can think so hard about something it becomes your reality, but just because you are thinking something is so, does not mean it is. Try not to let your thinking dictated what you believe—believing is a heart response.

3. I have lots of feelings—I try to not only understand a particular person or situation but also try to feel what I perceive. Feelings are very important but they can be misleading. Just because I feel a certain way does not mean it is so or correct. Feelings can be insightful but also wrong on every level.

4. Leave feelings to being guided by the Fruits of the Spirit. Feelings are a must in helping others and being close to God but feelings by themselves can be misleading. I allow my feelings to be guided by what is right and truthful, and then I know they will not lead me astray.

5. Being under pressure can throw off one’s thinking process and feelings. Therefore it is good to know how to handle pressure—here are some tips:

ü Tell the truth, don’t guess, take a deep breath, things will pass, and do the best you can—then let it go.

ü Stay calm! Did I tell you to stay calm—so stay calm.

ü If I am creating the circumstances for the pressure to exist—then make changes.

ü Remember that things will get easier in time so allow yourself opportunities to accomplish your goals.

ü Be in control by smiling, talking positive, being patient and remember everything is a team effort—it’s not about you.

Once you take the necessary steps to be in control of your feelings, how you think and handle the pressures of life, you will become the person God is expecting you to be. Life is an every changing process so what you think, feel or how you approach pressure will change over time. There is no right way but your perspective on life in being humble, giving and being just toward people is what makes a Christian different in a world that is lost. Overcome all things by being good.

Is it me or do you care?

This article is written in response to what has taken place in America for the past six weeks. Has recent events moved your heart, touched your spirit to act, or do you care at all?

When will it matter for people of color to say, “White lives matter too”, after the senseless killing of two white reporters, or is it only your anger you feel?

When will the gay movement stand up for the soldiers that freed a young boy who was chained to a bed by an Afghanistan official that repeatedly raped him for sexual pleasure, or is it only your selfish motives that drives what you live by?

When will the medical profession rise up in outrage against practices within their own ranks about the mutilation, killing, and senseless selling of live babies and their organs or is it only money, money and more money that you really want and care about?

When will our Supreme Court make decisions based on their conscious instead of trying to defer what is right and morally sound to legal reasoning alone—by destroying what every great culture or society has its bases in—a family living on sound principles, or is it ‘having the final say’ and self-pride that drives your rulings?

When will Americas rise up against greed and the almighty dollar—being more worried about what we have lost in the stock market than what God would want us to do with our great wealth or is keeping our own life style more important to you?

When will the church be willing to go to those who live in great darkness and bound by lies and depression? Instead of condemning the gays, when will the church live what it preaches by helping and loving those who are captive by their sin or are you ashamed of whom God still loves and cares for?

When will educators stop running in fear and accepting whatever educational departments tell them to do or teach—when will student lives matter more than having a job with summers off?

When will our intellectual communities begin to realize that we are more than just ‘thinkers’? By not admitting that a human can make good decisions based on their hearts, souls, and abilities or does your faulty premise of ‘rationale discourse’ in solving all problems get in the way of a proper and sincere heart response?

Do your care? Does your heart break? Are you willing to act in love and strength? Is it just me that is witnessing the destruction of our land on every front, in every corner? I can tell you biblically/prophetically, ‘Christ is crying over you and me’, saying, “If only you would have known and responded, if only you would have recognized the visitation God has offered and brought to you? But you have not accepted it and because of that not one stone, not one tree, not one river will be untouched by the destruction that is now at your gates.”

Have You Killed a Dragon Lately?

Part #2: It’s Significant

I really liked the movie, How to Train Your Dragon. It was a great script and just plain fun to watch. Too bad we do not have dragons today—it would make those evolutionists rethink their outdated theory.

We all know the theory of evolution has been loosing its academic strength and popularity among the masses and intellectual community. It just cannot stand up against scrutiny and scientific evidence. I am always amazed how lies can manipulate people’s thinking and belief systems. Satan is the father of lies and he is good at it, but in the end, a lie is a lie and it’s best to use truth against all untruths.

Oops, let get back on track—dragons. Have you killed any lately? I suppose if dragons were in Old Testament times, David would have had to kill his fair share of the bad dragons (We never kill good dragons, do we?). David had his share of lions, bears, and giants to destroy. These evil opponents were killing sheep abd people.

A neighbor killed a black bear this week on his property, about a ½ mile from our ranch. I do not like killing bears. This particular black bear spent some time on my ranch growing up. He was playful and always getting into trouble. My dogs kept him away, and I did not mind him climbing over my fences even though my horses were always up set with him when he was in their stable area drinking water.

Today, we still have giants to kill. We have choices when approached by giants. Like David, you can either pick up the challenge or run. Here are your choices?

1. You ignore the giant—out of sight, out of mind—you do not care.

2. You see the giant, you get scared, and because of fear you do nothing.

3. You want to do something but leave it up to others—you give verbal support.

4. You tell others I will fight the giant but when they ridicule you and tell you, you’re not welcome—you leave.

5. You decide to fight but are looking for armor or ground support from others—nothing fits or is adequate—you give up.

6. You decide to fight on your own, now you are in real trouble! ‘What have I done’, you say to yourself and begin to have second thoughts.

7. You allow God to give you ammo to fight the giant and you run to meet Christ that is standing behind the giant you are about to fight.

Yes, it takes courage to fight and destroy the works of the devil. But, God does not call those who are frightened but those who see the vision—another giant slain.

Next time you come across a dragon or giant that challenges the people of God or truths that stand the test of time, remember a simple promise: “It is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.”

Lord, give me a giant to slay today!
