💥 Podcast: We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. (2 Corinthians 13:8)

When we are born of God, the Spirit of Truth lives in us.

Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth.  (I Corinthians 3:16 & I Corinthians 6:19) 

Hebrews 8:10   For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:

We know the truth.

After I was born again, I went to a non-denominational church.  I would shudder at some of the things the pastor and members of the congregation said.  I knew the truth.  But I didn't know then that I knew the truth.  What they were speaking was not the truth and I was grieved, though I didn't even understand that I was grieved.  

Later God would show me truth about a scripture and often God reminded me of the bad feeling I had when these pastors taught opposite to that which God was showing me.

We learn to recognize and to trust the Spirit of Truth when HE speaks to us.

Many of those things taught today in our churches are not truth.

And we know this because we are of truth.

Jesus even says the voice of strangers we will not follow.  (John 10)

That is the reason we are troubled by many things spoken today at our churches by both pastors and by people in the congregations.

In this Podcast I share some of those things.

I John 2

26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

27 But the anointing which ye have received of HIM abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM.

28 And now, little children, abide in HIM; that, when HE shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before HIM at HIS coming.

29 If ye know that HE is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of HIM.

💥 Podcast: How can we live the way of this world, and not go down with this world when troubles come upon this world?

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on January 7, 2021)

 

During Coronavirus, I watched TV reports for several months.  People drove up to the food banks in their new cars to get the free food.  Never once, did I see anyone in the line in an old, beat up car or pickup. What does this show us about the way people live today?  (A life where they drive a new car, which is likely not paid for, to pick up free food?)

If we, as the church, live by the way of the world, we will greatly suffer with the world when the world is affected.

This world sets up all sorts of "special" days whereby they celebrate one thing or another.  None of these days are prescribed by God in the Bible.  They are all ideas of men, and other men thought it would be a good thing to celebrate these days, so they do.

What happens when that "special" day fails to live up to our expectations?  (sadness, depression, disappointment)

We bring the failures of the plans of this world upon ourselves when we yoke ourselves to these plans which are not set forth by God.  (such as:  Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day)

I've heard women brag about what they received from their husband on various holidays.  Later the same women are depressed, for their husband is no longer living to give them these things they lusted after, and the women remember the past with longing, pulling themselves down by their own lusts.

God's way is as follows:

Colossians 3

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with HIM in glory.

5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

If we live the way of this world, we will go down with this world.

Isaiah 61:1-3  The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

 

Comments from Beth Martin: 

How God loves us! How He cares for us! Recently we have seen how God puts desires into our hearts to perform His will here on earth. In performing this, we help ourselves and honor Him. His mercies are never ending. We love Him because He first loved us. We glory in Him and how He helps us! Our praise is for Him alone and our hearts are full with joy and gratitude!

Jeremiah 9:23-24   Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth ME, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

💥 Pay attention to what we're doing that we not loose reward

 

Beth Martin, member of the body of Christ

2 John 1:8  Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

I have been reminded of this scripture at least once per week recently. 

 

This is a period of time where vigilance is of the utmost importance. 

 

We need to watch and be alert to all around us ..... keeping on the path ordained by God in this period ... the end times. 

 

We cannot waver. We must be ready. We must examine ourselves.

💥 Podcast: Prayer requests? YOU should pray.

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on November 29, 2020)

 

No one knows the circumstances of your problems like you know them.

James 5:16  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

To be "effectual" that prayer must be according to the will of God "for you."

You are the one who must go to God to find out the will of God for you before you pray.

To be "fervent" that prayer must be "red hot".

Most of us cannot be "red hot" concerning a stranger.  We usually just do not experience the torment a stranger is going through.  In your need you are "red hot" over your suffering.  And your faith must be in God, and not in us.

You should pray!

Philippians 4:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

(You pray directly to God.)

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I John 5:14-15  And this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS will, HE heareth us:  And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM.

You pray directly to God!

When a minister prints on his written materials, "Send me your prayer requests"  usually, that minister is hoping you will put some money in the envelope with the prayer request.  In such cases, requests for your prayer requests are fund raising gimmicks.

 

ABC Primetime Live investigated Robert Tilton at Word of Faith Family Church in Farmers Branch, Texas on November 21, 1991.  (see Robert Tilton, ABC PRIMETIME LIVE, Wikipedia)

 

Tilton printed, "Send me your prayer requests," on his published materials and told people to send him their prayer requests on his radio and TV shows.  80-million dollars per year was received according to the ABC News report.  After the expose aired on ABC, offerings fell to 2-million dollars per year, still a lot of money.  Some in his church began trying to sue Tilton for his hundredfold return doctrine. He divorced and ended up marrying 3 times.  His church property was sold to the city of Farmers Branch and was torn down.

 

I had the same advertising agent as Tilton.  When I refused to ask people to send prayer request, the representative from the Michael Ellison Advertising Agency told me, "Well, you're missing a good bet by not doing this, for when they send prayer requests, they will usually put money into the envelope along with the prayer request."  This was a fund raising scheme.

 

When the envelopes arrived at Tilton's church, they were forwarded "unopened" to a bank in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where bank employees opened the prayer requests envelopes and removed the money, depositing that money into Tilton's bank account, and they threw the prayer requests into the garbage where ABC investigators found them in dumpsters.

 

In my opinion, it would be impossible for ministers to adequately pray over individual problems when they received hundreds of prayer requests this way.

 

This is all very evil.

 

You, who send prayer requests, are somehow thinking that minister has more power with God than you have.  So your faith is in the prayer of the minister rather than being in faith in God.  And a minister who uses prayer this way does an evil deceptive work.

 

I do not want you to send prayer requests to me.  I tell you in writing on our blog that you should pray. I have never solicited prayer requests during the past 40+ years that I have done ministry work as an apostle/prophet of Jesus Christ according to Ephesians 4:11-12.

 

You should pray directly to God.

 

***

 

A woman in our church group once asked me to help her pick out a lighting fixture for her dinning room.  I agreed to meet her at the lighting store.  Enroute to the store, I prayed:  "God, please help us to find a light fixture immediately so we will not have to go all over town looking for one."

 

(Philippians 4:6   "Let your requests be made known unto God.")

 

When we entered the store, I saw a fixture that would work, but I wanted this woman to find her own fixture so I just sat at the desk area and waited as she looked at the fixtures.

 

When she returned to the area where I was sitting, I asked, "Well ... did you find a fixture?"

 

She replied, "No."

 

I pointed to the fixture I had noticed as we entered the store and I said, "That would work."

 

She examined the fixture and bought it.

 

When we left the store, I asked, "Did you pray before we went to that store to look for a light fixture?"

 

In a very coy way she said, "No ... because I knew you would."

 

Her faith was in me instead of being in God.

 

Depending on others to pray could end up costing you your faith in God and destroy you spiritually.

💥 Praying effectively and fervently

 

Barbara Preston, member of the body of Christ

James 5:16  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Something happened recently which made me think of the above scripture and the effectual fervent prayer described here and how I had such a strong desire to pray this way.

My husband has a friend who had a medical incident recently where he suddenly started stumbling as he walked, slurring his words and having involuntary facial muscle contractions.

His friend, who was with him, immediately called 911 and it was diagnosed as a cyst which had grown on the surface of his brain. He has been transferred to a rehab hospital for the time being. He may have to have surgery or maybe not. Doctors are evaluating the situation.

Scott is about 69 years old. His wife is several years older than he is and in the early stages of dementia, according to her husband, so she doesn't drive any longer.

I first met Scott several years ago when we lived close to him and he would come to the house to see my husband as he was in the same astronomy club as my husband. 

One day he started talking about how it was God Who had created the universe. That got my attention so we started talking about God and did this a few times on his subsequent visits. I found out, at some point, that he attended a catholic church but there was something about him that made me wonder if maybe he was a Christian. He showed a genuine, I think, joy when we talked about God and there seemed to be an openness to the things I felt led to share with him. But I really don't know.

He and his wife have been on my mind recently when I would think about how difficult and frightening this must be for them. Then the other day I suddenly felt such a fervent desire to pray for them, asking God to please help them to get through this, providing for them whatever they need, as only He knows how to do this and what they truly need.

When I was a younger and newer Christian there were times when I used to try to pray for other people thinking it was what I should do now that I was a Christian, but so often my heart wasn't in it and I came to realize they were just empty words.

I have come to believe James 5:16  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I have seen prayers like this be answered by God in my life in the past and it is always such a joy and testament to the power and love of God when this happens.

💥 God leads us and provides what we need

Beth Martin, member of the body of Christ

Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

On this past Wednesday I awoke with a strong desire to drive to see my sister with cancer in a hospital 3 hours away. I did not really know what prompted this strong desire. I got up and started packing. 

 

I asked my brother who lives near me to ride along. He said that he would go. My brother and I have not spent much time together for several years. He is a talker and he talks mostly of himself. 

 

My sister was happy to see us. She did not know we were coming. I was able to see that she has a good team of medical professionals working for her and honoring her wishes. It comforted me greatly. I had one question for the doctor that he answered. My sister talked nonstop while we were there. She was in good spirits and said that she has not given up. Even though I packed to spend the night I felt that it was not necessary for me to stay. 

Here is how the Holy Spirit renewed my mind after the trip:

I was fearful about my sister suffering as she is now drowning in her own fluid. The thought came, "She will fall asleep". I thought about how it would feel to drown. The thought came,"She will fall asleep". As I meditated on, "She will fall asleep", the fear of her suffering left me.

My brother spoke about how he made half a million dollars in 6 months in the stock market with buying and selling. The thought came to me, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want". I will not need anything as long as I hear and do what the Holy Spirit reveals. God takes care of me and my finances. I need nothing else. I do not worry about my finances.

A couple of days later I had a dream that warned me about becoming close to my brother. I am taking that seriously. He is like so many in the world who think "being a good person" is all one needs. Following that Word which is revealed to us by the Holy Spirit of God is all that we need.

Luke 10:42  But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

I now believe that the strong desire to see my sister was to comfort me and prepare me for her death as well as warn me about my relationship with my brother. It astounds me to see how good God is to me and how He protects and comforts me. God is faithful in all things.

Psalms 36:5  THY mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and THY faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

(This podcast was previously published on December 26, 2020) 

Men come to us saying they are ministers asking us to send money to them and asking us to give them such things a computers and Bibles.  They cause us to feel guilty over the blessings God has given us.

All this are devils working through these "ministers" to harm us.

We have blessings from God because we deliberately set ourselves to follow God by HIS Spirit.

These men who want us to give them things do not seek God as we do, therefore they "lack" when they should have plenty as we do.

💥 Podcast: God will destroy this present heaven and earth with fire

 

 

(This podcast was previously published on December 28, 2020) 

 

Because of the Bible, we know that which is coming in the time ahead.

Peter tells us:

II Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Knowing the future things that are coming, according to Bible, changes everything!

We cannot put our hope in a continuation of things on this earth as we have known them.  We cannot build our lives on this earth as we have done.  

Everything we can see with our natural eye will be destroyed by God and that could happen at any time.

I see it as something similar to Coronavirus.  Those things we had were gone immediately!  In one day, all sports in the USA vanished from our sight.  Businesses closed.  Streets became vacant.  

When God sends the great tribulation, at first, some people may not even realize anything significant is happening.

Plague #1:  Revelation 8:7  The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

A third of the earth was affected.  If this happens in USA, will the people in Russia know anything that will affect them has happened?  (A virus in China has nothing to do with us in USA? does it?)

But look at that which happens with the 4th tribulation from God:

Revelation 8:12  And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

Now everyone all over the entire world will know something is happening.  And this world will be greatly affected.

And far more is to come:  10 more tribulations which will be even worse

Revelation 8:13   And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Daniel 12:10  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of HIM that created him:

💥 Podcast: God shakes the heavens and the earth and then Jesus returns to gather the righteous

 

(This podcast was previously published on December 24, 2020)

 

God created the heaven and the earth and kept them in place by HIS Word.  At the end, before Jesus returns, God shakes the power of the heaven and the earth.

The prophets of the Old Testament saw the end of this present world.

Joel 2:1-2  Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in MY holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;  A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

Joel 2:30-32   And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.  

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.  

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Amos 5:18-20  Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.  As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.  Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Isaiah 13:13   Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger.

In the 1980's, I had this dream:  The earth slipped on its axis.  People were terrified.  The governments of men were meeting with the scientists and with the religious leaders to see what might be done about this problem.  (Nothing can be done for it will be God causing the earth to slip.)  A TV newsman was trying to give a report about the happening and he was so terrified he couldn't continue speaking.  He just stopped and walked out of the newsroom.

Jesus tells of this end time: 

 

Matthew 24:21-22  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

 

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:

30-31  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.

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.

Then God destroys this present heaven and earth by fire:

II Peter 3 

 

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Philippians 2:12  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

(Comments by Beth Martin, member of the body of Christ:)

 

I am impressed with this today as I ask God to renew me, conform me, and to settle myself with Him. 

 

My sisters and I have been close our whole lives. One just had major life changing surgery and the other is dying of cancer. Both claim to be Christians and I have not been shown otherwise. As I engage with them I am very aware that I could be putting myself in spiritual danger. I do not want them or my love for them to overshadow my hearing from God. I have sent them scripture and visited as needed. At this point in time, their sons and daughters have assumed the role of hands on care. I am so very thankful for this.

 

God has provided for me a way of escape for the temptation of caring for them "too much". I thank God for HIS faithfulness.

1 Corinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Job 33:14-18  For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 

 

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 

 

16 Then He openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

 

17 That He may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 

 

18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

Romans 5:20-21  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

*** 

 

Proverbs 3:5-8  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 

6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

 

 ***

 

Psalm 91:1-2  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, HE is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in HIM will I trust.
